Latham’s bid for council 

Taking on 

Templeton 

in Heathcote 

• By Louis Day 

DARRELL LATHAM is making 

no apologies for “rocking the 

council’s boat” and has promised to 

continue to do so if elected as a city 

councillor. 

The Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board member will 

run as an independent against city 

councillor Sara Templeton for the 

Heathcote seat in October’s local 

body elections. 

Dr Latham, alongside Coastal- 

Burwood Community Board 

chairwoman and deputy chairman 

Kim Money and Tim Sintes, and 

city councillor David East, faced 

code of conduct complaints last 

year over an allegation he made that 

city council staff had tampered with 

the District Plan. 

It came after a clause that gives 

leeway to people in specific coastal 

areas, deemed at risk of flooding, 

to build and extend homes was 

omitted from the plan. As a result 

of the outspoken comments, 

Greater Christchurch Regeneration 

Minister Megan Woods approved 

the city council’s proposal to amend 

the District Plan under section 

71 of the Greater Christchurch 

Regeneration Act. •Turn to page 8

I FEEL a big contest coming on for the 

Heathcote Ward seat at the local body 

elections in October. 

Today, we reveal Linwood-Central- 

Heathcote Community Board member 

Darrell Latham is looking to take the next 

step up in local politics (see page 1). 

He has been a vocal community board member for the past 

three years. He was also part of the group that took the city 

council on over the District Plan and flooding issues, which led 

to code of conduct complaints against them. 

But their actions effectively forced the city council to change 

its tune and amend the District Plan. 

The ward’s sitting councillor, Sara Templeton, has had a good 

first term, so an arm-wrestle for votes looms.

Fire rages, homes at risk 

ECan expects 

draft report 

next month 


AN INVESTIGATION into the 

environmental impact of cruise 

ships in Akaroa is under way. 

The report, being conducted by 

the Cawthron Institute on behalf 

of Environment Canterbury, 

will outline the 

impact of cruise 

ships and provide 

recommendations 

on how to 

minimise them. A 

draft is expected 

Jim Dilley 

Harry 

Stronach 

by the end of next 

month. 

ECan regional 

harbourmaster 

Jim Dilley said 

the results of the 

inquiry could 

potentially 

influence the 

size of cruise 

ships entering 

Akaroa in the 

future. 

ECan initiated 

the inquiry after naval architect 

Harry Stronach highlighted

regulations. 

The Regional Coastal 

Environment Plan limits seabed 

disturbance to a total of 50m 3 

in any three-month period for 

any coastal area outside an 

operational port. 

Akaroa Harbour is not classed 

as an operational port. 

Mr Stronach said any ship

that is more than 40,000 gross 

tonnes – of which 90 per cent of 

the cruise ships visiting Akaroa 

are – is likely to cause a seabed 

disturbance at least 10 times the 

permitted level, per visit. 

This would be a breach of the 

Resource Management Act’s 

section 338. Every person who 

commits an offence against this 

section could be sent to prison 

for up to two years or fined 

$300,000. Organisations can be 

fined up to $600,000. 

Mr Dilley told Bay Harbour 

News ECan acknowledges cruise 

ships operating in Akaroa are 

likely to be in breach of the 

RMA. 

However, he said without any 

evidence, enforcement action 

was not warranted. 

RATES INCREASE 

Akaroa residents could see their 

rates bills increase by up to $520 

over the next four years. The 

potential rise comes after the city 

council signed off on an annual 

targeted rate of $130 to help fund 

the Akaroa Health Centre. The 

targeted rate would pay for $1.3 

million of the $5.9 million health 

centre. However, the amount of 

the annual fixed charge could 

lessen over the four-year period 

depending on funding for the 

health centre. 

SPEED LIMIT CHANGES 

Public consultation is now open 

on planned speed limit decreases 

in Sumner. The city council is 

proposing to change the speed 

limit in Sumner Village from 

50km/h to 30km/h and slow 

traffic on residential roads to 

40km/h. The plan will be open 

for consultation until July 8.

SHELLFISH LIMIT 

A public meeting on shellfish 

harvesting in the Avon Heathcote 

Estuary will be held today at the

at 7.30pm. The sustainability of 

the daily cockle and pipi limit 

will be discussed.

News 

New reporter for Bay Harbour News 

BAY Harbour News has 

a new reporter – Jess 

Gibson. 

Jess takes over 

from Louis Day, 

who is staying 

with the Star 

Media group 

(publisher of Bay Harbour 

News), and has moved 

onto The Star. 


THE Scarborough Dippers 

will plunge into freezing 

cold waters every day in 

July to raise money for 

lighting on the Cave Rock 

signal tower. 

An article in last week’s 

Bay Harbour News reported 

on a plan from the Sumner 

Redcliffs Historical Society 

to reinstall the lighting on 

the tower’s mast. 

After the article was 

brought to the attention of 

the Scarborough Dippers 

the group decided to donate 

the money they make this 

year towards the lights. 

Scarborough Dipper 

Sandra Taylor said this 

was more than just about 

raising money for the lights, 

but also raising awareness 

around mental illness. 

“Historically, the signal 

tower guided boats to safety 

and were a shining light in 

the darkness welcoming 

sailors home. We would like 

these lights to be a metaphor 

for those struggling in 

the darkness that is mental 

illness”, she said. 

This is the third year the 

dippers have raised money 

for a local cause. 

Last year they raised 

$1300 for a public-use 

defibrillator for the Sumner 

Lifeboat. 

Sumner Redcliffs 

Historical Society member 

Toni Pengelly was delighted 

with the support shown 

from the dippers. 

She thought the focus on 

mental health was a nice 

touch. 

“I’m sure all of us have 

suffered or know someone 

close to us who is struggling 

with some sort of 

mental illness,” she said. 

Jess, a product of the 

Canterbury University 

post graduate 

journalism school, 

has been with Star 

Media since just 

before Christmas, 

reporting on the 

Nor’West News. 

Said Jess: “I’m really 

looking forward to working 

on Bay Harbour News 

and connecting with the 

people and organisations 

that live in the area.” 

So if you want to get 

hold of Jess for a chat

“It’s a privilege to live in

with many individuals 

committing their time, 

expertise and often finances 

to improve our community 

and our environment.”

Residents concerned 

not enough is being 

done to prevent flooding 

17 th to 23 rd June 2019 


MONCKS BAY residents 

do not think the city 

council is doing enough 

to prevent major flooding 

happening again. 

Last year in February 

during the king tides, 

Cliff St was flooded with 

seawater 

which 

gushed 

through the 

drainage 

outlet at the 

end of the 

street. 

Ian Wyllie 

This 

resulted in 

trees, plants and hedges 

dying. 

City council land 

drainage manager Keith 

Davison said there was no 

guarantee seawater would 

not flood the street again in 

a similar event to last 

year’s. 

However, he said it 

was unlikely that a similar 

event would happen again. 

“At the time it [February 

2018 king tides] was 

thought to not be greater 

than a one in 10,000 year 

event and therefore not 

one that we routinely aim 

to protect against,” Mr 

Davison said. 

I am humbled and 

grateful to the wonderful 

people who came to my 

aid after a bike accident 

on St Andrews Hill Rd on 

Tuesday morning, June 4. 

Special mention to the 

young mother with a baby, 

the gentlemen redirecting 

traffic, those active in 

keeping me warm and 

safe while waiting for the 

ambulance. 

Sick of late night tenant phone calls and being on call 24/7? 

Tenants not paying their rent on time? 

Can’t find a tenant for your vacant property? 

CONCERNING: Seawater bursting through the 

drainage outlet at the end of Cliff St. 

He said the city council 

would not be changing 

its approach and would 

continue to check the outlet 

four times a year as it has 

done for the last 21 years. 

The drain is not checked 

before predicted storm 

events. 

Cliff St resident of 20 

years Ian Wyllie did not see 

this as good enough and 

thought it was time for a 

change of approach. 

“There is nothing to stop 

the same thing happening 

I am fortunate that 

although I have no memory 

again whenever the 

circumstances align again,” 

he said. 

Linwood-Central- 

Heathcote Community 

Board member Darrell 

Latham found this 

concerning. 

“Marriner St outlets are 

now to be checked prior to 

storm events and Cliff St 

residents should expect the 

same level of service given 

their experience of seawater 

flooding via the drainage 

system,” he said. 

Mt Pleasant’s Cheryl Melrose thanks some good Samaritans who came 

to her aid on St Andrews Hill Rd 

of the incident, medically 

I escaped serious injury. 

There was nothing 

random about your 

willing acts of kindness. 

And as I have no means 

of contacting you directly 

but I hope to reach you 

all through this form of 

media. 

Once again my 

heartfelt thanks and 

appreciation.

Apollo 11 - The Inside Story 

by david Whitehouse 

The amazing inside story of Apollo 11 - The Right Stuff for 

a new generation. 

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 

moon landing, David Whitehouse brings you the inside 

story of the astronauts, NASA engineers and political rivals 

that brought an end to the Space Race. Fifty years ago in 

July 1969, Apollo 11 became the first manned mission 

to land on the moon, and Neil Armstrong the first man 

to step onto its surface. US President Nixon called it the 

greatest week since creation. 

In the most authoritative book ever written about Apollo, 

David Whitehouse reveals the true drama behind the mission, 

telling the story in the words of those who took part - based 

around exclusive interviews with the key players. 

Hawking 

The Man, The Genius and The Theory of 

everything 

by Joel Levy 

Hawking explores the life and work, explaining the 

breakthroughs at the cutting edge of cosmology, 

from the Big Bang to black holes, and the ups and downs of 

Stephen Hawking’s extraordinary and often turbulent life. 

The death of Stephen Hawking in March 2018 brought to a 

close one of the most remarkable and inspiring 

scientific life stories of all time. This in-depth and 

comprehensive biography covers both the well-known aspects of his celebrated life and work, 

as well as the personal elements of his life, that make his astounding triumph over disability 

and his titanic achievements all the more impressive. 

No Man’s Land: the untold story of 

automation and QF72 

by Kevin Sullivan 

A gripping account of how a major air disaster was averted, 

by the captain and former Top Gun pilot 

Instinctively, I release my pressure on the sidestick. Out of 

my subconscious, a survival technique from a previous life 

emerges: Neutralise! I’m not in control so I must neutralise 

controls. I never imagined I’d use this part of my military 

experience in a commercial airliner ... On routine flight 

QF72 from Singapore to Perth on 7 October 2008, the 

primary flight computers went rogue, causing the plane to 

pitch down, nose first, towards the Indian Ocean - twice. 

The Airbus A330 carrying 315 passengers and crew was 

out of control, with violent negative G forces propelling 

anyone and anything untethered through the cabin roof. 

In No Man’s Land, the captain of the flight tells the full story for the first time. It’s a 

gripping, blow-by-blow account of how, along with his co-pilots, Sullivan relied on his 

elite military training to land the gravely malfunctioning plane and narrowly avert what 

could have been a horrific air disaster.

RESCUE: Operational crew member Bjorn Stankowitz tests out the new jet ski. 

Trusts help Sumner Lifeboat 

get $35k in new equipment 

THE SUMNER Lifeboat 

Institution has $35,000 in 

new equipment thanks to 

the generosity of two 

long-standing benefactors. 

The JI Urquhart Trust 

granted $20,000 for a jet 

ski and trailer and The 

Southern Trust has 

funded a $15,000 

Kubota tractor. 

To pay homage 

to the JI Urquhart 

Trust, which has 

helped keep the 

institution afloat 

for eight years, it 

has called the jet ski 

Urquhart Trust 

Rescue. 

Said coxswain Blair 

Quane: “This year, when 

they heard we were looking 

for funding for a jet ski, 

they gave us extra to cover 

this purchase.” 

Blair Quane 

“We are very, very 

grateful to these trusts. 

Both have helped Sumner 

Lifeboat to save lives over 

the years and their help 

with this project will make 

a difference for several 

years to come,” Mr Quane 

said. 

“Our old jet ski 

named Southern 

Trust Rescue was 

funded by The 

Southern Trust 12 

years ago. It has 

served us well, but 

reached its limits. 

Our first priority 

was to replace the old 

motorbike for towing the 

jet ski with a small but 

strong, more stable tractor 

that would enhance safety 

even with the old jet ski.” 

Operational crew 

member Bjorn Stankowitz 

has been testing the tractor 

and jet ski, and helping 

train other crew members. 

“The jet ski a little 

beauty,” he said. 

“The Kubota has more 

power and the driver has 

better control. It is easier to 

turn so it is easier to get it 

out of the garage and that 

means we can get the jet 

ski onto the water more 

quickly.” 

The new jet ski is 

longer and stronger 

than the previous machine 

and Mr Stankowitz said 

it is more responsive and 

is also more stable in the 

water. 

“It’s also easier for the 

second person to hold on 

so the helmsperson can 

go faster without the crew 

getting exhausted,” Mr 

Stankowitz said.

Port company ‘very close’ to 

Woolstore announcement 


THE WOOLSTORE in 

Lyttelton could be close to 

being filled. 

“We are very close to 

being able to publicly 

announce the plans for the 

Woolstore, which will be 

an exciting development for 

Lyttelton,” said Lyttelton 

Port Company marketing 

manager Simon Munt. 

However, Lyttelton 

residents are not convinced. 

Mr Munt told Bay Harbour 

News it was close to making 

an announcement in 

January. 

Said Lyttelton 

Community Association 

chairman Ken Maynard: 

“They have been saying 

something has been coming 

soon for months or has it 

been years?” 

“They have always 

been close to making an 

announcement so I will 

believe it when I see it.” 

The building has been 

empty since it opened in 

October. Discussions with 

the same developer have 

been ongoing since last 

year. 

Mr Munt admitted 

discussions were taking a 

bit longer than expected. 

“It is important to get 

these agreements right, so 

that we can ensure that the 

development is an enduring 

one that delivers the best 

possible outcome for the 

future of Te Ana.”

New zones to inspire 

AS THE WAY we live changes, 

so too does The Star Home and 

Living Show – it is keeping up 

to date with latest design and 

technology. 

Events manager Lisa Lynch 

said she is excited about two 

new zones, which have been created 

for this year’s event to inspire 

and hopefully get people motivated 

about the way they 

live. 

“The Innovative Living Zone 

switches thinking – not just 

planning your space, but planning 

how you wish to feel in your 

space,” she said. 

“It will showcase the latest in 

modern, urban, cosmopolitan home 

and landscape designs to transform 

your space – inside and out.” 

This zone will include an 

interactive, innovative living 

design area, where you can sit 

and have a coffee and be 

inspired by new and creative 

ideas for your home, by talking to 

the specialists about your dreams. 

The Eco Zone will showcase 

CONCEPTS: The 

Innovative Living 

Zone, which will 

feature at The 

Star Home and 

Living Show at 

Horncastle Arena 

later this month.

everything you need to know 

about sustainable living. Here 

you will find a range of ideas you 

can introduce into your home to 

make it more environmentallyfriendly. 

“We have self-watering 

vegepods, synthetic grass, solar 

technologies and, of course, 

electric vehicles with the chance 

of one lucky attendee driving

$44,000.” 

The Star Home and Living 

Show will be held from 10am 

to 5pm at the Horncastle Arena 

from Friday, June 28, to Sunday, 

June 30.

Battle for Heathcote 

city council seat 

starts to heat up 

•From page 1 

Dr Latham thought it was 

time for a change. 

“Council in many cases 

have been too slow to sweat 

the small stuff for their 

ratepayers,” he said. 

“It is fine to have a vision 

for stadiums, cycleways 

and other million dollar 

projects. However, residents 

want their basic needs met 

first. These needs include 

pothole-free footpaths, 

operational drainage systems, 

a functional water supply, 

better roads and wellmaintained 

parks to name 

but a few.” 

He faces strong 

competition from Cr 

Templeton who beat 

incumbent Paul Lonsdale in 

2016 by 1585 votes to claim 

the Heathcote seat. 

Mr Lonsdale was the only 

city councillor standing for 

re-election not to retain his 

position. 

Cr Templeton, who is a 

member of the Green Party, 

will run as an independent 

because she believes party 

politics does not belong in 

local government. 

She is confident ahead of 

the elections and welcomes 

Dr Latham’s challenge. 

“I think that I have been 

accessible, approachable and 

accountable and I think the 

community really appreciates 

that,” she said. 

The former high school 

teacher was the Hagley 

Ferrymead Community 

Board and Heathcote Valley 

Community Association 

chairwoman, and she helped 

set up the Heathcote Village 

Project and village garden 

before being elected to the 

city council. 

Cr Templeton said she 

wants to play a role in the 

city’s response to climate 

change. 

“I have a lot of things that 

I want to achieve at council 

and I will be working hard 

to retain my seat. When I 

look at my children and their 

future city, and their future 

planet, I know that the task is 

just too important to not put 

my hand up.”

Creativity using hands and loom 

SUMNER’S SARAH Kerr is a 

creative at heart. 

The 25-year-old has cerebral 

palsy, which affects body movement 

and co-ordination – but 

her condition doesn‘t hold 

her back at Handmade Studio 

Charitable Trust. 

Handmade Studio is a craft 

co-operative shop where people 

with disabilities can weave, 

loom, stuff and sew to create a 

variety of items – and 90 per 

cent of the money from each 

sale goes back to the person who 

made it. 

Sarah has been working at 

Handmade Studio since 2015, 

and says she loves it because it 

doesn’t matter that she has a 

disability. 

“It doesn’t matter that my legs 

don’t work, because it’s all hand 

stuff,” she said. 

“It’s varied and interesting, 

and you look at something and 

go: ‘Wow, I made that’.” 

Sarah works four-and-a-half 

days a week and spends a lot of 

her time turning wool into fabric 

using a loom. 

“It’s mostly hand stuff, 

and any leg movements are 

big movements, so I can do 

that.” 

“I can’t do sewing on the 

machines, and if I do hand-sew 

it has to be rough stuff. But I

can tack – you can be the worst 

sewer in the world and still 

make it work.” 

And Sarah says it’s more than 

just work – she met her best 

friend at Handmade Studio. 

Supervisor Toni Parker- 

Adams said there is often up to 

12 people working in the 

studio each day, and the 

friendships that have formed 

are just as important as the 

work itself. 

“They feel safe here, and they 

have a good group of friends. 

Some of them have been coming 

for 20-odd years. It’s sort of like 

a coffee group on a bigger scale,” 

she said. 

Handmade Studio Charitable 

Trust is supported by Rata 

Foundation, which recently 

approved a grant of $10,000 

towards operating costs. 

Signal box 

repair 

being priced 


THE RETAINING wall 

protecting the historic railway 

signal box in Lyttelton will be 

rebuilt. 

The city council is currently 

pricing the project. 

City council heritage programme 

manager Richie Moyle 

expected the pricing of the rebuild 

to be completed by the end of this 

month. 

The rebuild of the wall has been 

on hold due to the vessel Kia Ora 

impeding access. The 121-yearold 

yacht had been sitting on the 

corner of Norwich Quay and 

Donald St for more than 20 years. 

Lyttelton Port Company disposed 

of the vessel in May due to it deteriorating 

beyond repair. 

In 1994 the signal box was 

relocated from the Lyttelton rail 

tunnel to its present site on Gladstone 

Quay. It was constructed to 

accommodate new signals that 

were bought into operation on 

July 29, 1906. 

It ensured that trains ran safely, 

over the correct route and to a 

proper timetable. 

By 1986, Lyttelton port’s signal 

box was one of just 11 still in 

use and was officially closed on 

September 15, 1991.

Diamond Harbour dairy 

raises $13k for fire brigade 

• By Jess Gibson 

TWO STORE owners have been 

key drivers in fundraising more 

than $13,000 for the Diamond 

Harbour Volunteer Fire 

Brigade’s new support vehicle. 

The brigade has been slowly 

raising the $50,000 needed for 

the vehicle for almost four years. 

But with help from Diamond 

Harbour On The Spot store 

owners James Grant and Laura 

Palmer, the brigade has almost 

doubled the amount it has raised 

to date and is now almost at 

$30,000. 

On the Spot organised a 

sell-out Big Quiz night at the 

community hall on Saturday. 

Mr Palmer said the decision 

to support the brigade was a “nobrainer.” 

“We see the amount of work 

that these men and women 

put in on top of their normal 

everyday jobs. If we were going 

to support anyone major in the 

community it was them.” 

The brigade has struggled in 

the past to effectively deal with 

calls out to rural areas, farms, 

forestry areas and areas which 

only have tracks for four-wheeldrive 

vehicles. 

Fire chief Bob Palmer said 

ever since On the Spot stepped 

in to help with the fundraising, 

the “profile of the brigade has 

blossomed in the community.” 

“It’s fantastic. This quiz has 

raised our profile enormously, 

which has resulted in people 

contacting us and asking how to 

donate towards the vehicle,” he 

said.

Harbour Volunteer Fire 

Brigade, phone Bob Palmer

Dumbstruck by the Wiggles 

WOW, WHAT a week. 

I never thought I would have 

got so excited to see a children’s 

show, but I’m re-living my 

childhood vicariously through my 

daughter. 

Laura and I took Vittoria to 

the Wiggles last week and it was 

amazing. I kind of feel like the 

first parent to see Shrek when 

I say there was definitely some 

jokes in there for the adults too, 

which is why I liked it so much. 

It’s not just because I like the 

songs and stuff. 

It was a big surprise for 

Vittoria, not that it was hard to 

keep it from her, and it totally 

blew her little Wiggle-loving 

mind. Honestly, it was watching 

her love it which really made it 

for me. 

I so wish I had managed to 

get it on film, but when they 

came out on stage her wee mouth 

fell open so wide you could’ve 

driven the big red car right on in 

there. 

The running theory for me 

and Laura is that Vittoria was 

struggling to comprehend 

that her favourite colourful 

Australians were actually real. 

Dancing along with her was a 

blast, she knows a bunch of the 

actions and at home she even 

gets excited if you say the word 

“Wiggles” while standing near the 

TV. 

Only thing was, she 

OVERWHELMED: Vittoria 

doing hand motions with the 

Wiggles. 

VITTORIA 

& Matt 

occasionally just clammed up and 

sat there dumbstruck. She was 

clearly a little overwhelmed by the 

whole thing. 

To be fair, her Wiggles 

experience had exploded from 

watching them on Netflix to 

dancing along in a room chock 

a-block full of other hyperactive 

Wiggles fans while the real deal 

Wiggles sang on stage. 

By the end of the show she had 

her head around it. 

I can’t wait for them to do 

another show here, it’ll be 

interesting to see how Vittoria 

would go on the second round. 

To cap the week off, Vittoria 

and I have moved out to North 

Canterbury for a few days to look 

after my mum and step-dad’s 

place in Waikuku while they’re 

away on holiday. 

It’s just us two and two small 

dogs hanging out in my home 

town/village. It’s going to be great 

and likely a challenge. 

I’ve never really been a 

stay-at-home dad alone, with 

zero back-up at any point during 

the day. 

So look forward to an update 

on how that goes.

Air, Sea & Land 

Gallery and Framing 

Simply put the clues in the name… 

Air, Land & Sea is a unique Lyttelton 

gallery where the focus is on 

aviation, automotive, maritime and 

rail themes. The fascinating display 

includes die cast model cars, artwork 

depicting seafaring vessels and cars, 

trains, books, and Christchurch’s 

largest range of barometers by German 

brand Fischer, still made in the Black 

Forest area of Germany. So, if you’re 

looking for that for that certain gift for 

your man…or lady, there are plenty of 

unusual items to choose from here… 

plus they also offer a professional 

picture framing service. 

Lyttelton Picture Framing in 

London Street offers high-quality 

picture framing at realistic prices. 

Malcolm Carne has owned and 

operated the business for 20 years 

and has the qualification to undertake 

all types of framing – he is a Guild 

Commended Framer (GCF), which is 

a British qualification in conservation 

framing. 

“Conservation framing is about 

making sure the artwork is preserved 

inside the frame, including fitting UV 

glass to prevent sunlight damaging 

it,” Malcolm says. 

He stocks an extensive selection 

of mouldings to suit all types of 

artwork whether prints or originals, 

ranging from beautiful ornate styles 

to the modern Scandinavian style of 

frame. 

To complement the artwork and 

the frame, Malcolm has mounts in 

a wide range of colours, and he is 

happy to advise customers on the 

right frame and mount to set off the 

artwork. 

That artwork may not necessarily 

be a two-dimensional piece – 

Malcolm also frames memorabilia 

such as medals or other precious 

objects a customer may want to 

display on the wall. 

He carries out all the framing 

on the premises, with most jobs 

completed within two weeks, as long 

as the moulding is available from the 

manufacturer, he says. 

Air, Sea & Land is located at 32 

London Street, Lyttelton and is 

open Monday to Friday from 9am- 

5pm and Saturday from 9am-1pm.

Bays must win to make SFL 

• By Gordon Findlater 

THE TASK is simple for 

Ferrymead Bays in their pursuit 

Southern Football League 

spot – win against Cashmere 

Technical on Saturday and 

they’re in. 

Bays go into Saturday’s final 

round of the Mainland Premier 

League in fifth spot on the 

table. The top five teams in the 

MPL will gain spots in the SFL. 

However, if Bays fail to win 

a tough match against Tech, 

both Coastal Spirit and Selwyn 

United could leap-frog them. 

Coastal and Selwyn are just one 

point behind Bays. 

“We know what we need to 

do and it gives us a bit of focus 

going into the week,” said Bays 

co-coach Neil Murphy. 

Bays will be underdogs in the 

match against Tech. 

Tech have already wrapped 

up the MPL title. However, Bays 

will take confidence from being 

the only team to defeat them in 

the league this season, which 

they did 2-1 in the opening 

round. 

“They’ll not want to have that 

repeated and obviously we’ll use 

that as confidence . . . we hope 

to strengthen the side this week 

from previous weeks – we’ve 

had a few players away,” he said. 

Bays also want to put a 1-11 

thrashing at the hands of 

Nelson Suburbs behind them. 

A somewhat depleted side travelled 

to Nelson at the weekend 

for their third round Chatham 

Cup match. 

Suburbs scored three early 

goals before Jesse Ruwhui made 

it 1-3. However, the match 

quickly got away from Bays 

before the end of the first half. 

Just months before the first 

round of the MPL, Bays were 

struck an almighty blow with 

the departure of their former 

coach Danny Halligan to

Christchurch United. His departure 

was followed by half of 

Bays’ first team, many of whom 

followed Halligan to cash-rich 

Christchurch. 

Given the circumstances, 

qualifying for the SFL would be 

deemed a success for Bays. 

“At the start of the season, if 

you’d have said it would come 

down to the last game where we 

have a chance of qualifying, I’d 

have taken it,” said Murphy. 

•Bay’s match against Cashmere 

on Saturday kicks off 

at 2.45pm at Garrick Park, 

Woolston. 

SUMNER GOT their bottom six 

premier rugby campaign off to a 

winning start with an 8-3 victory 

over Belfast in a mud bath at St 

Leonards Square. 

Dominance at scrum time and 

forcing the opposition 

to make errors in their 

own half were the keys 

to Sumner’s control 

throughout what was an 

otherwise uninteresting 

match due to terrible 

conditions. 

Sumner opened the 

scoring midway through 

the first half through 

fullback Charles Oswald. 

Following a dominant scrum, 

Sumner were awarded a penalty 

advantage, which gave them a

SUMNER PROP Samuela 

Tawake will play on the national 

stage after being snapped up by 

Manawatu for the upcoming 

Mitre 10 Cup season. 

The 120kg tighthead was 

offered a two-year deal with 

Manawatu last week, and will 

relocate to Palmerston North 

next month. The 22-year-old 

has been with Sumner for four 

years and made his Mitre 10 

Cup debut for Canterbury off 

the bench last year. He hopes the 

move to Manawatu will present 

an opportunity to become a 

regular player in the competition 

and at a higher level. 

“It’s always been the goal 

to play Mitre 10 and then go 

further. If I want to do that I 

need to be playing Mitre 10 

consistently,” said Tawake. 

Tawake relocated to 

Christchurch in 2015 after 

receiving a rugby scholarship 

at Christ’s College. He then 

returned to Fiji for a short 

period before returning to 

Christchurch and plying his 

trade with Sumner. He says the 

club has played a major role in 

his development as a player. 

to Oswald, who then dummy 

passed an inside flick and scored 

in the corner, taking out the 

corner flag in the process. 

Coach Martin Dodgson 

pointed out the performance of 

Oswald as a key to restricting 

Belfast to just three points. 

“He had some huge kicks 

to keep them down in one 

corner and our dominance 

at the set piece made 

it hard for them to go 

anywhere,” said Dodgson. 

Sumner were without 

regular halfback Hayden 

O’Donnell due to injury. 

However, it created the 

perfect opportunity for 

recently arrived Englishman 

James Elliot to make his premier 

debut. 

“If ever you’re going to get 

a perfect time for a Northern

Prop bound for Manawatu 

BIG PROP: Samuela Tawake 

has been picked up by 

Manawatu for the Mitre 10 

Cup. 

“They’ve been with me 

through my ups and downs... 

They’ve been really key for 

me in terms of giving me 

hope. Sumner has been really 

important in terms of getting me 

to where I am now,” he said. 

Tawake also said a shift in his 

approach to the game has helped 

him. “The mental approach for 

me is to dominate and be the big 

man wherever it is on the field,” 

said Tawake. 

Hemisphere halfback to come 

in and make his debut, it’s on a 

cold, wet, windy day. He’s been 

around the block enough to 

know when to slow the game 

down and when to kick,” said 

Dodgson. 

Wesley Mauafu also returned 

from Auckland to make his first 

appearance of the season by 

starting on the wing. 

There was also a win for 

Sumner’s division two side 

against Belfast 12-10. 

Meanwhile, the Sharks went 

down to Sydenham 7-41 in the 

classics division. The Sumner/ 

Suburbs under-16 girls team 

had a close fought 22-27 loss to 

Prebbleton. 

•On Saturday, Sumner 

will host lowly Canterbury 

University. Kick off at St

Thank you for 

helping your 

Fall Zones 

community 

To all of you who have had your 

trees trimmed before they became 

a problem, thank you for keeping all 

the families in your community warm, 

happy, healthy and connected. 

You can be proud of the fact that you have allowed your 

neighbours to stay warm, cook dinner and even charge 

their mobile phones. You may not have realised that what 

you’ve done has had much impact, but from all of us here 

at Orion, we just want to say thank you.

We’re not exaggerating. 

On our network, 10-20% of all unplanned power outages are 

caused by trees — including vegetation — coming into contact 

with power lines. Other than this, fire damage to property from 

branches sparking in dry conditions and serious injury from 

electrocution from contact with trees touching power lines are 

also possible consequences of not maintaining your trees. 

How close is too close? 

While most damage is caused by trees falling on power lines, 

significant risk exists from trees merely touching them. This risk 

increases the higher the voltage of the power line. 

The minimum distances that must be maintained between trees 

and power lines, as defined in the Electricity (Hazards from 

Trees) Regulations 2003, are outlined in the diagrams above. 

All vegetation should be kept out of the growth limit zone and 

preferably the notice zone. 

Sometimes it may not be practical to have a tree trimmed at the 

rate at which it grows and unfortunately, this means it may need 

to be removed. Other situations may require trees to be removed, 

most commonly when they are at a high risk of falling due to 

disease or adverse weather events. 

Where do I start? 

Before you begin, remember to keep yourself, and those around 

you, safe. We recognise that not everyone is experienced in tree 

trimming and are happy to advise you on what to do. We can arrange 

for trees near power lines to be trimmed at your expense, however 

we recommend you hire professionals to safely carry out the work. 

If you or someone working for you intends to work within four 

metres of power lines, a close approach consent is required from 

Orion before you start. As a tree owner, you may be liable for any 

damage caused by carrying out trimming or felling of trees. 

Will I be fined if I don’t comply? 

If a cut or trim notice is given to you and you fail to have the tree 

trimmed and/or advise us of the time and location of the trim 

without a reasonable excuse, this is an offence. This will make you 

liable for a fine not exceeding $10,000. If the offence continues, 

you will be liable for a further fine of not more than $500 for every 

day or part day during which the offence continues. 

More info can be found on our website and if 

you have any questions or notice any trees 

touching power lines in your area, please call 

us on 03 363 9898 or 0800 363 9898.

CX-9 integral part of pamper package 

Motoring 

Ross Kiddie 

THE OFFER of a pamper 

package at Hanmer Springs was 

too good to turn down – hot 

pools, spa, massage and an 

overnight stay all included. 

The car my wife and I drove 

to the township in was a Mazda 

CX-9 and it fitted the occasion, it 

is quiet, refined and superbly comfortable 

on the undulating North 

Canterbury roads. 

The seven-seat CX-9 is not new, 

the latest generation sports utility 

vehicle landed in New Zealand in 

2016; however, it has had a bit of 

a refresh and a high grade variant 

has been added to the line-up. 

There are now three models, 

rounding out with what Mazda 

label Takami. 

Takami is something you are 

going to hear a lot more about 

from Mazda, it adds just that little 

bit of extra sophistication, sitting 

over and above Limited variants 

and, as in the CX-9’s case, add 

several features such as nappa 

leather trim, rosewood panels and 

aluminium trim items. 

These sit on top of what would 

ordinarily be a well-specced vehicle 

in the first instance. 

Those familiar with the CX-9 

pre-2016 will relate to the feisty 

V6 engine which characterised 

the line-up. That has long gone, 

today’s CX-9 has a turbocharged 

2.5-litre four-cylinder engine. 

If the thought of a turbocharger 

has you a little perplexed, you 

need not be concerned. The turbocharger 

is low boost, and the 

engine, and its management protocols, 

are structured so that the 

engine works consistently in the 

area of low revs. Sure, it will meet 

the 6000rpm red-line with little 

provocation; however, there is a 

strong, flat torque curve which 

meets its maximum at 2000rpm 

(420Nm). Add in 170kW at just 

5000rpm, the realisation is that 

the engine is going to work tirelessly 

at low speed. 

Power is transferred through a 

traditional six-speed automatic 

transmission. This is another area 

Mazda does really well, the ratios 

and the shift management system 

work well with the low revving 

nature of the engine, the gaps between 

gears are filled through the 

turbo boost, while acceleration is 

clean and smooth. 

The CX-9 is no slouch, even 

without working hard it will still 

accelerate to 100km/h in 8.8sec, 

and will make a highway overtake 

in 4.7sec. On our journey north 

I made use of several overtaking 

opportunities and always enjoyed 

that solid mid-range punch that 

MAZDA CX-9 TAKAMI: High grade trim and specification over and 

above Limited. 

you get from a big four-potter and 

the boost from a turbocharger. 

Interestingly, the CX-9 gets a 

driver-selectable sport mode, but 

even without the heightened engine 

urgency it is still responsive. 

I didn’t use sport mode much, 

but far preferred to let the engine 

operate at its area of greatest efficiency. 

The benefit of the engine’s low 

revving nature is also that of fuel 

economy. It’s no surprise the 

CX-9 is thrifty, Mazda’s SkyActive 

programme leans towards 

efficiency, and it claims an 8.8-litre 

per 100km (32mpg) combined 

cycle average, which fits well with 

the 9.2l/100km (31mpg) readout 

during our journey. At 100km/h 

the engine is turning over at just 

2000rpm in sixth gear, offering a 

7.8l/100 (36mpg) instantaneous 

figure. 

Considering the CX-9 weighs 

in rather tubby at just on twotonne, 

these figures are impressive 

and are a credit to the Mazda 

engineers who, for a long time 

now, have been plugging away 

at driveline efficiency. All CX-9 

models are now four-wheel-drive, 

which makes it’s economy even 

more remarkable. 

The 4WD set-up will take you 

off-the-beaten track without 

being fully classified as an offroader. 

However, with a ground 

clearance figure of 220mm, it 

does have useful off-the-seal 

capability. 

Personally, I see the all-drive 

function as a medium to glean 

grip on all surfaces, the CX-9 

has an on-road feel which is 

quite reassuring, it feels tightly 

connected to the road surface, 

and even in the wet there is surety 

through the steering which must 

be considered a safety feature. 

On that subject, the CX-9 

easily qualifies for a five-star

Takami, $67,895

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 8.8sec 

• Fuel usage – 8.8l/100km 

Australasian New Car Assessment 

Program safety rating. 

My wife never travels light, but 

her suitcase was no match for 

the cavernous cargo area. With 

the rear seats folded flat that area 

measures up to 810-litres; if you 

are seven-up then that area is 

compromised to 230-litres, but 

that matters little, the CX-9 is 

very much a competitive battler 

in the large SUV category. 

As much as I liked the detailing 

in the Takami grade, I’d be an 

entry-level buyer, at $59,695 

against $67,895 you are getting a 

lot of value for money. However, 

I fully appreciate that SUV buyers 

like all the bells and whistles, and 

that’s what you get with CX-9 

Takami, it is a luxury car at an 

affordable price. For the record, 

the non-Takami Limited grade 

comes in at $65,295. 

I have a certain affinity with 

Mazda, there’s one in the Kiddie 

garage, I like the way the product 

is quality built and the technology 

constantly surprises me. 

“Thank you! For everything. 

There are no words.”

REAL ESTATE 

Living the dream… 

56 Purau Port Levy Rd, Purau Valley, Lyttelton Harbour 

Price: $799,000 

4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 2 living rooms | 2 car garage | Listing Number: 8885 

A charming, delightful 1950’s bungalow set 

on nearly 1 acre of flat and very productive 

land. North facing, sheltered, sunny and 

private, this charming home is in excellent 

order throughout having been loved and 

carefully maintained over the years. 

The top level of the house comprises 2 

living areas, a large modern farmhouse style 

kitchen with plenty of storage, a massive 

master bedroom with adjoining bathroom 

and a single bedroom currently used as an 

office. 

The master bedroom opens onto a covered 

North facing verandah with a cosy coveredin 

area with a day bed, the perfect place to 

enjoy the afternoon sun, peace and birdlife 

and to while away a few hours. Downstairs, 

(externally accessed) are 2 double bedrooms, 

bathroom and a kitchenette/dining area so 

semi self-contained, perfect for extended 

family or teenagers. 

This is a rare opportunity to purchase in 

the beautiful picturesque Purau Valley and to 

obtain a small manageable holding like this is 

really one of a kind. 

The land is a mixture of lawns, gardens 

and the most established and productive 

orchard I have ever seen, with many many 

fruit trees established vege beds and native 

plantings. There is excellent access, a large 

double garage, greenhouse and other useful 

sheds and most importantly excellent water 

supplies. 

My vendors are retiring very reluctantly 

and have loved every minute of the 10 years 

they have spent here. 

Purau Bay is approximately 30 minutes’ 

drive from Christchurch, making it a highly 

desirable destination as it is so useable being 

close to Christchurch. 

Properties in this lovely valley and by 

such a safe swimming beach are defying all 

the odds and selling fast generally as they 

come up very seldom. Excellent swimming, 

boating, walking and stunning sunsets on 

the hills, quick and easy access to Lyttelton 

via the Diamond Harbour ferry (approx. 5 

mins), local shops, cafés and bar make this a 

fun filled place to visit. 

Properties here make an excellent 

investment and Purau Bay and valley is a 

truly magical place to live.

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.”
