A JACK RUSSELL cross which 

watched over Lyttelton’s timeball 

station has been immortalised in 

bronze. Skippy used to live next 

door to the station. 

She would turn up every day, 

just before 1pm, as the timeball 

was being raised. 

Skippy would hear the 

mechanism clanking, then 

squeeze under the fence, run 

through the garden and bark.

Plan does 

not help 

Akaroa 

dolphin 

population 

• By Jess Gibson 

A MARINE animal expert and 

the Black Cat Cruises boss are 

concerned a proposal to protect 

hector’s dolphins across New 

Zealand leaves the Akaroa 

population at risk. 

The Government’s 40-page 

threat management plan includes 

protection measures for the dolphins, 

which are classified as nationally 

vulnerable 

with an estimated 

population of 

15,700. 

Proposed 

commercial and 

recreational set 

netting and trawling 

restrictions 

Liz Slooten 

run north from Banks Peninsula 

to Kaikoura, south to Timaru, 

and offshore up to 20 nautical 

miles. But the additional protection 

does not include an area of 

sea around the south-eastern side 

of Banks Peninsula. Instead, the 

only option is to maintain the 

current restriction of four nautical 

miles offshore in that stretch. 

Otago University zoology 

professor Liz Slooten said she has 

been scratching her head over the 

gap in the proposal.

from the editor’s desk 

THERE WILL no doubt be a lot of people 

happy to see Skippy back at the timeball 

station (see page 1). 

The jack russell cross lived next door to the 

station and would head there each day until 

she went to the great dog kennel in the sky in 2009. 

She would turn up every day, just before 1pm, as the timeball 

was being raised. Skippy would hear the mechanism clanking, 

then squeeze under the fence, run through the garden and bark. 

Said former timeball station manager Jan Titus. “Skippy was 

such a feature that people on our tours would watch the drop then 

race across on the viewing platform to spot Skippy as she trotted 

home.” 

Great to see her back.

Peninsula speed limits could drop 


Janis Haley 

ROADS ON Banks Peninsula 

may have speeds reduced by up 

to 80km/h. 

The Banks Peninsula Community 

Board has recommended 

the city council approve more 

than 40 different speed limit 

reductions around the Akaroa 

Harbour, bays, and Little River 

areas. 

Reductions 

were recommended 

on 

roads within 

higher risk 

travel routes, 

roads near 

small settlements, 

places 

where pedestrians 

are likely to be present as 

well as unsealed roads. 

One recommendation was 

to change the speed limit on 

Childrens Bay Rd from 100km/h 

to 20km/h as it is highly used 

by vehicles and pedestrians, unsealed 

and has a blind corner. 

Wainui Main Rd is a high-risk, 

rural route and has been ranked 

seventh out of 32 priority routes 

within the city council area. 

If approved, the entire length 

of Wainui Main Rd will be 

reduced from 100km/h and 

70km/h to 60km/h.

Part of this route is within the 

NZTA’s determined top 10 per 

cent routes nationwide for speed 

limit intervention to reduce 

death and serious injury crashes. 

The Onuku Rd route from 

Akaroa to Onuku has been 

ranked 31st out of the 32 priority 

routes. 

If changes are approved, the 

part of the near Onuku settlement 

will be reduced from 

100km/h to 40km/h and the rest 

of the road will be reduced to 

60km/h. 

More changes will be made 

around Akaroa, the French Farm 

and Wainui route, Onuku, the 

inner harbour route, Gebbies 


Pass and valley, Le Bons Bay, 

Little River, Little Akaloa, 

Takamatua, Duvauchelle and 

Okains Bay. 

Community board member 

Janis Haley said the changes 

would not affect a lot of people. 

“I think it’s what the local 

residents expect. I don’t think 

the limits will cause too much of 

a problem,” she said. 

“For a lot of the roads, it’s the 

speed that you can only really do 

anyway. It’s just a reality check 

for what is feasible.” 

There were 273 submissions 

made during a public consultation 

period from October to 

November.

SPEED 

REDUCTIONS: 

If approved by 

the city council, 

speed limits 

will be reduced 

on a number of 

roads around 

the Akaroa 

Harbour, bays, 

and Little River 

areas. 

The consultation was split into 

areas and the analysis was done 

based on the comments in each 

area. 

Feedback resulted in amendments 

being made to the report. 

The city council’s decision date 

is yet to be finalised but a city 

council spokesperson said it is 

likely to be at its next meeting on 

July 11. 

The reductions align with the 

NZ Transport Agency’s Safer 

Journeys Road Safety Strategy 

2010-2020 which is designed 

to guide improvements in road 

safety, with the overall vision of 

“a safe road system increasingly 

free of death and serious injury”.

Planting day 

to help 

restore native 

vegetation 

UP TO 800 trees will be 

planted at Oashore Farm, 

across the drainage ditch from 

Birdlings Flat, on Saturday 

from 10am. 

The 500ha property is 

owned by a United States 

conservationist who has 

bought it in order to protect the 

existing native vegetation on 

the property and to encourage 

more to grow on the land. 

The end of the property 

closest to Birdlings Flat does 

not have a good source of 

native plants to re-seed the 

area, so the community is 

growing a small forest to give 

nature what it needs to grow on 

the rest of the land. 

This will be the fourth year 

of planting with Birdlings Flat 

residents. 

The previous land 

manager, Kate Whyte, decided 

to include the community 

to give them a meaningful 

connection with the land and 

so they could watch their trees 

grow from their side of the 

lake.

Concerns over plan to protect dolphins 

•From page 1 

Said Prof Slooten: “It took 

the Otago University marine 

mammal research team two days 

to make sense of these options 

and why they’ve put protection 

in those particular areas. They 

don’t really spell it out in the 

document. What they seem to 

have done is gone to the areas 

where the most dolphins are 

being caught 

right now 

and chosen to 

protect them 

and not the 

areas where 

not many 

dolphins are 

being caught. 

“The 

Paul Milligan 

problem with 

that is, if you 

close the areas 

to the north and restrict fishing 

to the south, people are going to 

shift into that gap. We will have 

shifted the problem around the 

map rather than solved it.” 

Black Cat Cruises chief 

executive Paul Milligan said he is 

disappointed the document has 

“left out an area where people 

know there are dolphins.” 

A Fisheries New Zealand 

spokesperson said there is 

unlikely to be additional 

displaced recreational set netting 

given the existing closures in 

IN DANGER: The proposed expansion of set netting and 

trawling retrictions does not include an area around Banks 

Peninsula which is home to hector’s dolphins. 

place. However, they did not 

comment on the commercial 

activities. 

“The proposals are looking 

to extend the current closures 

further offshore in areas within 

Pegasus Bay and the Canterbury 

Bight. They are based on the best 

scientific evidence available of 

the risks to hector’s and maui 

dolphins, which draws on a 

range of new information,” the 

spokesperson said. 

The information includes 

results from aerial surveys 

of dolphin distribution and 

abundance, revised population 

and sub-population estimates, 

new dolphin sighting information 

from the public and fisheries 

observers, updated captures 

from fisheries observers 

and information from the 

Department of Conservation’s 

necropsy programme 

Last month, Black Cat Cruises 

commissioned a study by Market 

Economics to determine the value 

of hector’s dolphins. It found 

dolphin-related eco-tourism 

brings almost $25 million into the 

New Zealand economy each year, 

with an additional $3 million to 

$6 million in associated tourism 

activities. It also found hector’s 

dolphins sustain up to 476 jobs in 

the national economy. 

Hector’s dolphin numbers are 

estimated to have decreased by 

about 74 per cent over the past 30 

years. 

The National Institute of Water 

and Atmospheric Research 

estimates up to 100-150 hector’s 

and maui dolphins are drowned 

in set nets every year. 

“If you start restricting fishing 

in areas nearby, it’s going to direct 

any fishing activity to where 

they are allowed. If anything, it’s 

got the potential to increase the 

fishing activity in that area and 

therefore increase the likelihood 

that a dolphin is caught,” Mr 

Milligan said. 

“Market Economics’ study has 

some weight behind it so we will 

be putting in a submission based 

around that.” 

Public consultation on the plan 

closes on August 4.

95 Years of Real Estate comes home to the Bays 

Pip Sutton has spent her life by the ocean and 

the bays around Canterbury. Her family roots 

have an extensive history throughout Sumner 

and the Lyttleton Harbour. Sutton Reserve and 

Sutton Quay have been named after her great 

grandfather. 

Childhood memories along the shorelines, 

especially Sumner, where days filled with chasing 

sea gulls, playing in the waves, strapping her 

boogie board to her back and trekking over the hill 

to Taylors Mistake bring a smile to her face. 

Her family heritage lies in four generations of 

well-known Christchurch Real Estate Agents, 

whose love for the area is effervescent. Since 

1924, her family has been an integral part of the 

real estate landscape throughout the bays and the 

larger Christchurch area. 

Now Pip, the fourth generation of her family’s 

real estate legacy, has more than 14 years of 

her own experience seriously benefiting her 

clients. She learned under the best, Her father 

and grandfather taught her the intricacies and 

complexities of real estate well. Ensuring she 

learnt on the toughest of tasks. Pip can hold her 

head with pride thinking about all the families she 

and her late ancestors have supported with their 

goals of buying and/or selling property. 

“The Bays & the ocean are a part of me. I love 

them. I respect them and I honour them, so this is 

a natural way for me to work with my clients who 

are looking for their next real estate transaction. 

Whether they are selling a home. Looking for a 

beach house or an investment property. 

I work right throughout Christchurch; but my 

reputation for knowing the intricacies & unique 

lifestyle opportunities the bays offer and friendly 

and approachable selling style sees Clients come 

from far and wide. I am happy and appreciate the 

chance to help and support them in their quest.” 

Pip says. 

Pip is a Residential Sales and Development 

Specialist with Ray White Ferrymead and is 

available to help you achieve your real estate goals. 

“Christchurch has just come off its biggest boom 

in history after the quakes and is now returning 

to a more normal market. Confidence in the area 

has returned and people are appreciating all the 

lifestyle has to offer.” 

“The city rebuild is starting to take shape which is 

seeing the inner city life and entertainment come 

alive again. The stigma associated with the bays 

and their proximity to the epicentre and damage 

caused by the earthquakes is waning. People want 

to live here. The benefits associated with the 

recovery are seeing this much loved and sought 

after area once again positioned as a dream haven 

and hugely desirable lifestyle option.” 

“One thing a family who has survived 95 years 

straight selling property in the bays and the 

greater Christchurch & Canterbury area knows 

is, that no matter what the conditions, properties 

keep selling, people keep moving. Each market 

has its pros and cons, benefits and nags. The 

most important thing is that the absolute best 

agent is sitting inside your home when the person 

looking to buy walks through the door and that 

that person is catered for in the best possible way 

ensuring they feel more confident and excited 

about purchasing your home than any other in the 

marketplace.”

Clock tower repairs to start next month 

WORK TO repair and restore the 

damaged heritage clock towers in 

New Brighton and Scarborough 

will begin next month. 

The city council has given 

heritage-experienced contractors 

Cook Brothers Construction 

Canterbury the job of leading 

the restoration work on the two 

landmark clock towers. 

The Scarborough clock tower 

dates back to the 1930s. 

It is expected the 

restoration work 

will take about six 

months. 

Said head of 

parks Andrew 

Andrew 

Rutledge 

Rutledge: “Cook 

Brothers have a 

great track record of 

heritage repairs and 

we’re confident they will do a fantastic 

job in returning these clock 

towers to their former glory.’’ 

The clock towers have been 

fenced off since early last year 

while extensive structural investigations 

have been done to determine 

the extent of the repairs 

required. 

That investigative work showed 

the earthquakes and the years 

of exposure to the harsh seaside 

environment have left them in a 

poor condition. 

“Both clock towers suffered 

structural damage in the 

earthquakes and have historical 

damage that needs repairing. 

The investigative work we did revealed 

there was chlorides in the 

concrete which has caused the 

underlying reinforcing steel to 

corrode in places,’’ Mr Rutledge 

said. 

“There is also evidence in both 

towers of poor quality concrete 

cover to the steel – for example, 

at the very top of the Scarborough 

clock tower you can see 

where some of the reinforcing 

has been exposed.’’ 

Mr Rutledge said of the two 

clock towers, New Brighton 

needed the most repairs. It has 

two internal floors that need 

replacing because they have significant 

cracks in them. 

The clock faces on both towers 

also need to have work done on 

them. 

“The clock faces and mechanisms 

from both clock towers 

have already been removed so 

they can be restored. Because 

of the heritage significance of 

the clocks, we want to retain as 

much of the original material as 

possible. 

“However, the cast iron features 

on the clock faces have become 

heavily corroded in places 

and some parts of them will need 

to be cut out and new sections 

recast,’’ Mr Rutledge said. 


REPAIRS: Scarborough clock tower, which dates back to the 

1930s, will be restored next month.

Flood risk in 

Heathcote 

alleviated 

THE RISK of properties 

in Heathcote flooding has 

decreased due to work 

undertaken in Wigram. 

The city council has 

undertaken flood protection 

work to increase the capacity of 

the Wigram East storage basin, 

which sits in the Canterbury 

Agricultural Park. 

Land drainage manager 

Keith Davison said the work 

means there will be less risk 

of properties along the upper 

reaches of the Heathcote 

flooding. 

“We have lowered a large area 

of the park for flood storage and 

created four hectares of wetland. 

“In a one-in-100-year storm 

event the basin can now store 

around 590 million litres 

of water – the equivalent of 

more than 236 Olympic-sized 

swimming pools,” Mr Davison 

said. 

The city council fast-tracked 

the $7.25 million project to 

extend the Wigram East storage 

basin to provide critical flood 

mitigation, and scheduled it 

at the same time as work on 

neighbouring Ngā Puna Wai 

Sports Hub.

Community awards presented to 


FIVE GOOD Samaritans have 

been acknowledged for their 

services within the Bay Harbour 

News area. 

Nominees were selected 

by Volunteering Canterbury 

to receive the outstanding 

voluntary contribution to the 

community award, presented by 

Port Hills MP Ruth Dyson at the 

civic offices on June 17. 

Twelve groups and 28 

individual awards were 

presented in front of about 200 

people who gathered to support 

the nominees. 

Alan Christie, City to 

Sumner Community Patrol 

Sumner resident Alan 

Christie, 74, does not believe 

that retirement means sitting at 

home. 

Instead, he puts his free time 

to good use by helping out at 

the City to Sumner Community 

Patrol. 

For the past 15 years, Mr 

Christie has been involved 

with patrol which covers the 

area from Linwood through to 

Diamond Harbour, building 

relationships with groups in the 

wider community and making 

exceptional contributions 

‘behind the scenes.’ 

Mr Christie is a committee 

member and heads out on patrol 

every two weeks to help clean 

up the streets and report graffiti 

to the city council. He will also 

help out emergency services if 

they need help with accidents or 

monitoring areas for crime. 

For the last four years, he has 

helped to train police college 

applicants before they head off 

to study for 16 weeks in Porirua, 

Wellington. 

“Quite a few police applicants 

join us to learn a bit more about 

what goes on,” he said. 

Mr Christie is no stranger to 

helping others. 

Before joining the patrol, Mr 

Christie was involved with the 

STOP trust, which helps males 

who have been sexually abused. 

He was a member for seven 

years, five of which he served as 

chairman. 

Looking on, Mr Christie plans 

to keep helping out at the patrol 

until he knows its “time to go.”

her community where she 

can. 

Since the earthquakes, 

Miss Kay has spent over 

four hours each week 

delivering meals for the 

Lyttelton Community

However, her other

goes mostly under the

If Miss Kay hears of

help in practical and useful

in and help when she is 

needed “at the drop of a

“She’s one of those 

wonderful people to

She’s quiet about what 

she does but we are very 

appreciative,” she said.

Chance for 

children 

to explore 

hidden paths 


CHILDREN WILL get the 

opportunity to explore hidden 

pathways in Lyttelton when the 

school holidays start on July 5. 

The Lyttelton Information 

Centre has created two 

free walks in the area – one 

for children aged seven and 

under and the other for over 

sevens. 

Maps will be available at the 

information centre on Oxford St 

from July 5. 

The hour-long walks are 

different and have detailed 

directions, as well as activities 

and information on the harbour. 

To learn more about the 

walks, phone Ruth Targus on

Matariki Hunga Nui 

A trio of artists come together to visually explore Matariki. 

Robin Slow and Brian Flintoff have artistically collaborated 

for many years. Joining them for the first time is Amber 

Smith whose artwork has been displayed for some time 

at Little River Gallery but never before in exhibition there. 

Amber’s medium is both ceramic and printmaking, Robin 

works in acrylic on canvas and Brian carves whalebone 

and native timbers. All three artists live and work in the 

Tasman and Nelson area.

Matariki Hunga Nui

Matariki of many people. 

Matariki was always a time to remember those who have 

become whetu (stars), to make connections between the 

rangi (sky) and the whenua (land), to celebrate and rejoice. 

There are numerous stories of ‘Matariki’ giving 

perspectives and conveying differing versions that are 

part of a narrative about a group of stars seen above the 

horizon. The narratives located in these works relate to the 

land and sky, above and below us, on to the place we are 

located. We can stop and look upward and see the stories 

in action, moving from one group of whetu to another each 

bearing its own relationship to the whole cosmology.

The Accusation - 

Somebody is Lying 

by Wendy James 

After eighteen-year-old Ellie Canning is found shivering 

and barely conscious on a country road, her bizarre story 

of kidnap and escape enthrals the nation. Who would do 

such a thing? And why? 

Local drama teacher Suzannah Wells, once a minor celebrity, 

is new to town. Suddenly she’s in the spotlight again, accused of being 

the monster who drugged and bound a teenager in her basement. As 

stories about her past emerge, even those closest to her begin to doubt 

her innocence. 

And Ellie? The media can’t get enough of her. She’s a girl-power icon, a 

social-media star. But is she telling the truth? 

A powerful exploration of the fragility of trust and the loss of innocence, 

from the author of The Golden Child and The Mistake. 

The Daughter’s Tale 

by Armando Lucas Correa 

Based on the true story of the Nazi massacre of a French village in 1944, an 

unforgettable tale of love and redemption from the bestselling author of The 

German Girl. 

New York City, 2015: Elise Duval, eighty years old, receives a phone call 

from a woman recently arrived from Cuba bearing messages from a time and 

country that she’s long forgotten. A French Catholic who arrived in New York 

after World War II, Elise and her world are forever changed when the woman 

arrives with letters written to Elise from her mother in Germany during the war, 

unravelling more than seven decades of secrets. 

Berlin, 1939: Bookstore owner and recent widow Amanda Sternberg is fleeing 

Nazi Germany with her two young daughters, heading towards unoccupied 

France. She arrives in Haute-Vienne with only one of her girls. Their freedom is 

short-lived and soon they are taken to a labour camp. 

Inspired by one of the most shocking atrocities perpetrated by the Nazis 

during World War II, the 1944 massacre of all the inhabitants of the village of 

Oradour-Sur-Glane in the south of France, The Daughter’s Tale is a beautifully 

crafted family saga of love, survival and hope against all odds.

Bronze statue immortalises timeball station’s famous K9 

•From page 1 

Skippy became a prominent 

figure in advertising campaigns 

and an integral part of the 

timeball experience. 

“Skippy was such a feature 

that people on our tours would 

watch the drop then race across 

on the viewing platform to spot 

Skippy as she trotted home,” said 

former timeball station manager 

Jan Titus. She said Skippy started 

watching over the tower in 2003 

and continued to do so until she 

died in 2009. 

Skippy’s statue now watches 

over the station from the same 

spot she used to bark at the 

timeball. The station was built in 

the 1870s to help sailors establish 

their longitude. Located on the 

Lyttelton hillside overlooking 

the port and harbour, it is one of 

only five working timeballs in the 

world. It was badly damaged in 

the February 22, 2011, earthquake 

and collapsed after another 

significant shake in June 2011. 

The historic building reopened 

in November following a $3 

million rebuild, which took more 

than a year to complete. 

The building was vandalised 

only three months after being 

reopened. Ms Titus felt the 

timeball would be in safe hands 

for years to come with Skippy 

watching over it. 

The statue was created by 

Waikari sculptor Sam Mahon.

Keeping bubs out 

of the dog biscuits 

IT’S BEEN more than 

a week of looking after 

bubs on my own while 

house-sitting for my mum 

and step-dad at Waikuku 

Beach. 

Hanging out in my 

hometown has been great 

– picnics in the forest, 

walks along the beach with 

the dogs, and spending 

hours on the playground. 

We’ve managed to avoid 

any major catastrophes. 

The only thing that has 

given me any serious 

concern is Vittoria’s new 

found love of dog biscuits. 

Totally obsessed; 

favourite snack territory. 

And I really do mean she 

loves them. If I grab them 

off her or fish one out of 

her mouth, it elicits some 

serious screaming. 

I’ve told friends who 

have older kids and they’re 

all “oh, that’s normal”. But 

how normal is it really to 

grab a handful of food, 

designed for a canine, 

and run into the corner to 

munch on it? 

She’s gotten a little wise 

to my dislike of her new 

snaking habits and lures 

me into a false sense 

of security by sweetly 

grabbing some and feeding 

it to the dogs Petal and Po. 

It’s really cute, she giggles 

and the dogs love it too. 

My heart melts and I 

look away for two seconds. 

When I turn back, she’s 

bolting into a hiding spot 

with some for herself. 

Oh well, by the time 

you’re reading this, we’ll 

likely be home, so she 

won’t be eating them for 

much longer. 

I think I’ve managed 

pretty well running 

completely solo, but I did 

experience my first real 

‘I’m over this’ kind of day 

on Monday. 

VITTORIA 

& Matt 

SCOOBY SNACKS: Vittoria has become quite 

proficient at using the dog lead – as long as Petal 

and Po don’t move too far or too fast. 

After a big session at 

the playground, minding 

Vittoria and both dogs, I 

was sure she’d have a nap. 

However, outside of car 

rides, Vittoria has not had 

any day naps over the last 

week. I’m not complaining; 

she goes to bed easy, sleeps 

well and wakes up late 

because of it. But I really 

felt like I needed that break 

on Monday. 

I was just hanging out 

for her bed time. I used 

the animated adventures 

of Pingu as a babysitter to 

get me through and allow 


me to have a strong coffee 

in peace. 

Waking up on Tuesday, 

though, I was back to my 

happy self and feeling great 

about things again. 

I guess you have to 

accept you’ll not love every 

bit of every day of stay-athome 

parenting, much like 

any job.

Another step to improve harbour health 

A NEW memorandum 

highlights an ongoing 

commitment to improving the 

health of Lyttelton Harbour. 

The document, which includes 

a long-term vision for the area, 

was signed by the Whaka-Ora 

Healthy Harbour group’s five 

partners last week. 

The partners are Te Hapu 

o Ngati Wheke, Lyttelton 

Port Company, Environment 

Canterbury, the city council and 

Te Runanga o Ngai Tahu. 

The previous memorandum of 

understanding, signed in 2016, 

discussed the specifics of the 

plan, while the new document 

will supersede it and focus on 

implementation to deliver the 

actions. 

Whaka-Ora Healthy Harbour 

partnership chairwoman Yvette 

Couch-Lewis, of Te Hapu o 

Ngati Wheke, said the new 

memorandum was another 

positive step forward. 

“This document is about 

making a commitment to 

the community to ensure 

the long-term sustainability 

of Whakaraupo Lyttelton 

Harbour,” Ms Couch-Lewis said. 

“The harbour catchment area 

is important to so many people 

and we want the community to 

engage with us to help improve 

its ecological and cultural 

health.” 

Over the past 12 months, key 

projects have been started or 

received support from the group, 

including reducing sediment 

and contaminant inputs into 

waterways, soil mapping of 

Lyttelton Harbour, and Quail

Late last year, Karen Banwell 

was appointed Whakaraupo 

programme manager. A 

community advisory group 

for the plan was established 

recently. The group will act as 

a mechanism for community 

engagement and provide advice 

on how the plan can support or 

initiate community-led projects. 

The group and Dr Banwell 

met last month to nominate 

representatives from the urban 

harbour communities. Those 

discussions will start early next 

month and aim to establish a 

group of about 10 people to meet 

quarterly. 

Dr Banwell said the 

community advisory group was 

another important marker in 

implementing the Whaka-Ora 

Healthy Harbour plan.

Award-winning young Lyttelton artist shows talent 

LYTTELTON painter Ruby 

McCallum is making a name for 

herself as an artist. 

At the inaugural Creators’ 

Room art exhibition, 

the 17-year-old St 

Margaret’s College 

student took out the 

people’s choice award 

for her painting The 

Breadmaker. 

The Creators’ Room 

was launched last year 

to provide year 11-13 

visual arts students 

with a platform to 

sell their work and be 

recognised. 

Ruby’s work explores 

religion, belief systems and 

cultural curiosities. Some of her 

work is based on her upbringing 

near “some of the stranger 

places in New Zealand, like the 

Lyttelton Museum and rural 

Banks Peninsula.” A total of 1282 

artworks from 16 Christchurch 

secondary schools were submitted 

for the exhibition. 

Fifteen top artists were 

selected to display their 

work, which included 

Ruby, who is in her last 

year at St Margaret’s. 

The exhibition invited 

members of the public 

to view the works and 

bid on them in a silent 

auction. 

Three of Ruby’s 

artworks were sold for a 

combined total of $2075. 

Ruby MCallum The Breadmaker was 

sold for $1000, The 

Explorers went for $675 and Angel 

netted $400. 

Ruby’s success puts her on 

the way to achieving her goal of 

exhibiting and selling her work 

professionally.

Sumner 

Silver Band 

secretary 

Peter Croft 

writes about 

the popular 

communityfocused 

band which can be 

traced back to the 

early 19th-century 

The 25 or so people who 

make up Sumner Silver 

Band are heirs to a proud 

tradition which can be 

traced back to the 1880s. 

Back then, it was called 

the Sumner Marine Band 

and also the Sumner Brass 

Band. It may not be widely 

known, but during the 

band’s heyday in the 1950s, 

they were twice national 

champions in their grade. 

Today, the band doesn’t 

get involved in traditional 

contesting to such a serious 

extent but instead sees itself 

as providing a friendly 

social environment where 

brass players can get 

together to share in the joy 

of making music while at 

the same time being part 

of an important community 

asset which entertains 

throughout the local area. 

Its programme is very 

varied, ranging from the 

SOUNDS: The Sumner Silver Band in action. 

brass band staple of marches, 

through light classics to 

arrangements of modern 

popular music. 

The band is very visible 

in the local area with regular 

public performances 

which include the Sumner/ 

Redcliffs RSA Anzac Day 

parade and the Sumner 

community carol service 

in December. They also 

play more widely throughout 

the Bay Harbour area 

and in the last 12 months 

have entertained as far 

afield as Oamaru, Waimate, 

Governors Bay, Lyttelton, 

Akaroa, Little River 

and Charteris Bay and are 

a regular at the annual 

Redcliffs School Fair. 

A community-focused 

band like ours is constantly 

rebuilding. Youngsters 

often have only a few years 

with us before moving 

away for study and then 

work, and at the other end 

of the age scale, none of 

us can keep going forever, 

hence the band is always 

looking for new blood to 

maintain its ranks. 

In recent years the 

band has had several new 

members returning to 

brass playing after many 

years without touching an 

instrument at all. Playing 

brass is a bit like riding a 

bike, once learnt it’s something 

you never forget, just 

a bit wobbly at first. 

The band meets every 

Thursday evening from 

7.30 to 9pm at the Redcliffs 

Bowling Club in James 

St, and would love to hear 

from anyone who is interested 

in becoming part of 

the band. Age is no barrier 

nor is the lack of an instrument 

as the band supplies 

them at no cost.

Calls for ‘control’ over 

shellfish gathering 

Linwood- 

Central- 

Heathcote 

Community 

Board and Avon 

Heathcote Ihutai 

Estuary Trust 

Board member 

Tim Lindley writes about 

the community’s reaction 

to shellfish gathering in the 

estuary 

THE IMPACT of shellfish 

gathering in the estuary on 

shellfish numbers, birdlife 

and human health has been 

of growing concern for local 

communities. To help everyone 

better understand these issues, 

the Avon Heathcote Estuary 

Ihutai Trust recently hosted a 

public meeting at the Mt Pleasant 

Community Centre. 

About 90 attended and 

a lively discussion ensued. 

Presenters included marine 

biology professor Islay Marsden, 

medical officer of health Alistair 

Humphrey, representatives 

from the Ministry for Primary 

Industries, and estuary birdlife 

expert Andrew Crossland. 

AHEIT chairman Kit 

Doudney welcomed everyone 

then facilitator Gay Pavelka 

sought questions from the floor, 

and asked various experts to 

comment. 

Dr Marsden noted student 

research, commissioned by 

AHEIT, showed that cockle 

numbers had dropped from 

about 500 to 200 per square 

metre in collection areas and 

there is a concerning change in 

the ratio of adults to juveniles. 

Care has to be taken with these 

numbers as the survey was 

limited and more research is 

needed. 

Dr Humphrey said all sorts 

of muck from the streets of 

Christchurch gets washed into 

the estuary, including copper 

from brake pads, and dog faeces. 

Filter feeding estuary shellfish 

simply are not safe to eat and 

there are other, safer places to 

gather from. 

Dr Crossland said the main 

birds affected are oyster-catchers. 

They are very mobile so if the 

estuary has human disturbance 

and fewer cockles, they will 

quickly prefer somewhere else. 

He also has good connections 

with migrants from Southeast 

Asia, where shellfish gathering is 

commonplace, and has discussed 

that our estuary is different from 

the warm waters of the tropics 

where replenishment happens 

much faster. He helped give a 

very human perspective on those 

who gather seafood. 

The discussion then moved to 

potential solutions. The feeling 

from the floor was that a ban is 

not needed but control is. 

The Ngai Tuahuriri 

representatives said almost all 

parties seem of the same mind. 

They offered to work with 

AHEIT, as tools within their 

customary rights – for example 

mataitai – could help protect the 

estuary. 

There was strong support 

from the floor for exploring 

this approach further. This was 

an extraordinarily successful 

event ending in a consensus and 

community-driven pathway 

forward. 

HISTORIC: Little River’s Coronation Library was built to mark 

the coronation of King George V in 1913. 

New use for old library 


LITTLE RIVER’S historic 

Coronation Library will be 

restored and become a base for 

community activities. 

The Banks Peninsula 

Community Board 

approved the future 

use of the 108-yearold 

building on 

Christchurch Akaroa 

Rd as a base for the 

Little River Wairewa 

Community Trust. 

The trust will hold 

commemorations, meetings and 

cultural events in the building. 

However, first the trust will 

need a community partnership 

agreement with the city council 

before the building can be 

restored for $650,000. 

A full scope of work to 

Mario 

Downes 

repair the building will also be 

prepared and the work tendered. 

Little River Wairewa 

Community Trust acting 

chairman Mario Downes said 

the community board’s 

decision was “good news.” 

“Obviously a bit of 

work has gone on in the 

background to try and 

secure it. It will be good to 

have the building in use 

again,” Mr Downes said. 

The trust currently holds 

its meeting in the Little River 

Library and Service Centre. 

The Coronation Library was 

built to mark the coronation of 

King George V. It was opened in 

1913, and was used as a library 

until 2000. 

It was damaged in the 

September 2010 and February 

2011 earthquakes.

Sumner win in spite of high injury toll 

SPORT 

• By Gordon Findlater 

SUMNER CONTINUED their 

bright start in the bottom six of 

the premier metro competition. 

However, it will be a challenge 

to keep 15 players on the field 

which Saturday’s win over 

Canterbury University is best 

remembered for. 

The bonus point 36-10 win 

was achieved with what coach 

Martin Dodgson described as 

“typical Sumner grit.” A freak 

run of injuries during the match 

and in the build-up to it meant 

Sumner finished with a line-up 

they could never anticipate putting 

on the field. 

It all started on the Friday 

evening before the match when 

Dodgson received a text message 

from captain Tom Manly to 

inform him he was in hospital. 

“He somehow found a hand 

specialist late on Friday and they 

said go to the hospital now, you 

need an operation because he’d 

buggered up all the ligaments in 

his hand,” said Dodgson. 

The loss of Manly meant 

Sumner had just 16 players for 

their premier team and were 

reliant on filling their bench with 

a number of players who arrived 

at St Leonards Park after kick-off 

after travelling back across town 

following a 0-87 battering from 

FERRYMEAD BAYS have 

missed out on a spot in the 

Southern Football League 

after a final day defeat in their 

Mainland Premier League to 

Cashmere Technical. 

Going into Saturday’s match 

against the MPL champions at 

Garrick Park, Bays needed a win 

to guarantee a top-five finish in 

the league which would grant 

them a spot in the SFL. 

However, a 0-6 loss left Bays 

relying on other results going their 

way as Tech showed the level of 

play which has seen them average a 

league record four goals per game. 

Bays’ fate was sealed in ever 

WALKING WOUNDED: (From left) – Mathew Tuala, Charles Oswald and James Orritt all suffered serious injuries on Saturday 

during Sumner’s 36-10 win over University.

Christchurch at Christchurch 

Park. 

A number of the division 

two players would go onto play 

well over 100 minutes of rugby 

during the day due to premier 

players breaking down during 

the match. 

It didn’t take long after kick-off 

in the match against University 

for the injury ward to receive a 

few more visitors. First, outside 

back Charles Oswald suffered a 

more commanding fashion at 

English Park where Coastal 

Spirit completed an 11-0 demolished 

of lowly FC Twenty 11. The 

result means they leapfrog Bays 

into fifth spot and the SFL. 

In the match at Garrick Park, 

Bays came in with hopes of an 

upset after handing Tech their 

only MPL defeat in the opening 

round of the competition. A repeat 

looked off the cards early when 

Garbhan Coughlan opened the 

scoring and then set up Seth Clark 

for Tech’s second after 21min. 

Clark scored his second just 

after the break with Coughlan 

adding his second with 15min 

dislocated shoulder. He was then 

joined by prop James Orrit due 

to an AC separation. Early in the 

second half No. 8 Mathew Tuala 

also dislocated his shoulder. 

“I didn’t watch any rugby 

because I was too busy trying to 

get 15 players on the field,” said 

Dodgson. 

“We ended up with a half-back 

who started on the wing going 

to fullback, a hooker at No. 8, 

a prop at hooker, and five guys 

to play before Finbar Gallaway 

added Tech’s fifth. 

Coughlan then completing 

his fourth hat-trick in the MPL 

this season with time almost up 

to claim the golden boot with 

18 goals, one ahead of Nelson 

Suburb’s Cameron Gordon. 

LEAPFROGGED: Ferrymead

who had just finished playing 

division two all on the field. 

“Good old Jimmy [James] 

Selkirk has been in Thailand and 

look he’s a good honest div two 

player, he comes on and plays 

like a man mountain. All those 

div two guys were running hard 

and tackling everything.” 

Sumner now face their toughest 

task of the bottom six to date 

this Saturday against Burnside, 

who will also be looking to make 

it into one of the top two positions 

which would give them 

give them a spot in the plate 

play-offs. 

They will also be looking to 

avenge a 25-29 loss to Burnside 

when the sides met at Burnside

competition last month.

Kia expands GT Line into Cerato range 

IN A GLOBAL market 

hell-bent on buying sport utility 

vehicles, there’s a lot to be said for 

the traditional family sedan and 

liftback/hatchback. 

There are plenty of bargains to 

be had in that part of the market, 

and although the segment has 

diminished a lot in recent years, 

there is still good choice, especially 

mid-size models. 

Personally, I’m a bit of a sedan 

fan, and I’m pleased to report 

there are still some crackers coming 

out of Asia. 

One of the very progressive Korean 

companies still offering sedans 

and liftbacks is Kia, and their 

mid-size model – the Cerato – has 

just entered a new generation. 

Effectively, there are six models 

in the range, LX, EX, GT Line and 

GT; the LX and EX are available 

in both body styles, the GT Line 

and GT are liftback-only variants. 

I’m scheduled into the turbocharged 

1.6-litre GT later in the 

year, however, this evaluation 

focuses on the GT Line that is 

powered by a naturally-aspirated 

2-litre engine which, incidentally, 

is pretty much a carryover from 

the previous generation. 

The Cerato GT Line is priced at 

$39,990, taking into account the 

range starts at $31,990 for the LX 

Motoring 

Ross Kiddie 

and ends at $41,990 for the GT. 

The GT Line gets a hefty range 

of specification, leather trim with 

heated and cooling seats, satellite 

navigation, Apple Car Play 

and Android Auto, smart cruise 

control and touch screen control 

system are all included, plus there 

is a high level of kit for safety. 

Fitment aside, what the Cerato 

does in the first instance is to 

provide an inviting driving experience, 

one which is smooth and 

relates to comfortable travel. 

It is also a car which won’t cost 

a lot of terms of usage. Kia rate 

the engine with a 7.4l/100km 

(38mpg) combined cycle average, 

and that wasn’t too far distant 

from the 8l/100km (35mpg) 

figure constantly showing on 

the fuel usage readout. It also 

displays a 5.5l/100km (51mpg) 

instantaneous figure when travelling 

at 100km/h (engine speed 

2050rpm). 

On the subject of figures, the 

engine is rated with a 120kW 

(6200rpm) power output, that’s a 

hearty figure for a 1999cc engine, 

and it also gets a useful 192Nm of 

torque available just above midrange 

in the rev band at 4000rpm. 

It is a lively engine and lets you 

know when it is working hard but 

even though it is quite audible it 

KIA CERATO GT LINE: Sporty variant amidst comprehensive 

sedan and hatchback line-up. 

isn’t overbearing. The benefit is 

a fully responsive throttle pedal 

through the entire rev range, it is 

constantly eager. 

Power is transferred through 

a six-speed automatic gearbox 

to the front wheels, there are no 

surprises there, but to say the 

transmission is a beauty in terms 

of sophistication. Interestingly, 

there are no paddle shifters in the 

GT Line, but manual shifts can be 

made from the main gear lever. 

There are also three drive 

modes – eco, comfort and smart, 

the latter switching to sport mode 

if throttle percentage is high. 

I used smart mode mostly, it 

recognises each driver’s style and 

adjusts the engine management 

protocols to suit. 

In terms of acceleration, a GT 

Line buyer can expect a standstill 

to 100km/h time of 9sec, and it will 

power strongly through a highway 

overtake in 5.2sec. These aren’t as 

quick as what you’ll get out of the 

GT proper, but they are enough to 

satisfy the buyer who doesn’t want 

outright performance. 

I took the test car on my standard 

inland loop, incorporating a 

run up and down the Waimakariri 

Gorge incline. It cruises the 

long straights with quiet motion, 

and also takes on a sporty feel 

when presented with a corner or 

two. I pushed the test car in both 

directions in and out of the gorge, 

the chassis worked well, and that 

considering the rear suspension 

in the Cerato is a simplistic torsion 

beam type. 

Ordinarily, there’s some suspension 

movement restriction in 

non-independent systems, but 

body movement was well contained, 

and uneven road surfaces 

didn’t present any surprises, the 

spring and damper rates are set 

• Price – Kia Cerato GT Line, 

$39,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4510mm; width, 

1800mm; height, 

1445mm 

• Configuration – Fourcylinder, 

front-wheeldrive, 

1999cc, 112kW, 

192Nm, six-speed 

automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 9.4sec 

• Fuel usage – 7.4l/100km 

towards controlled absorption. 

Steering feel is sharp, and directional 

accuracy is decisive. A lot 

of that has to do with the quality 

of the rubber, the Kumho tyres 

(225/45 x 17in) have high grip 

properties and are quiet on most 

surfaces. 

I’m buoyed by Kia’s continuation 

of the Cerato line, I guess the 

company could have decided to 

abandon the concept, but I can 

safely say those who do find their 

way into the hatch or sedan will 

find it a well-built, capable car 

that does very little wrong. 

It needs to be tempting, car 

makers that are still plying 

that part of the market have 

some amazing models that are 

hugely competitive. The Mazda 

3 is one of those that has also 

just undergone a complete 

transformation, it is there to keep 

Cerato honest, it’s just as well, 

then, that the latter has the goods 

to compete.

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand 

has b en a proached in a bid to 

fina ly repair the potholes in New 

Brighton’s Hawke St car park. 

Coastal-Burw od Ward city 

counci lor David East wants 

WorkSafe to pre sure the car 

park’s private owners into 

repairing the potholes which are 

a “trip and vehicle” hazard. 

WorkSafe chief inspector 

a se sment southern Da ren 

Handforth said it may be able to 

take action under the Health and 

Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a 

person conducting a busine s or 

undertaking.” 

Mr Handforth said WorkSafe 

is aware of the concerns raised by 

Cr East abou the car park. 

“WorkSafe has completed 

an a se sment visi to the site 

and is engaging with the owner 

to advise them that it is their 

responsibility to manage their 

risks a propriately.” 

Different parts of the car park 

are owned by various people 

and the Coastal-Burw od 

Community Board recently 

wrote to them about its concerns 

around health and safety. 

Cr East said the bi gest i sue 

in the past has b en ge ting in 

touch with the landlords and 

owners and ge ting them to 

agr e to anything. “The board 

a preciates that multi-ownership 

of the parking space may present 

a difficulty in co-ordinating 

repair/resurfacing but felt obliged 

to pa s these concerns onto you,” 

said the le ter. 

One reply has b en received so 

far from an owner who is wi ling 

to discu s the i sue. However, a l 

the owners would have to agr e 

to undertake work. 

Cr East said there had b en 

a “number of incidences” in 

the car park of people injuring 

themselves which had gone 

unreported. 

“I’ve always though that it 

has b en quite amazing that we 

haven’t had any serious a cidents 

or senior citizens perhaps 

tri ping in those potholes and 

doing themselve some damage.” 

He is confiden the new 

a proach wi l bring results. 

“I think the WorkSafe 

involvement may prove to be the 

lever that we are l oking for.”

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

Cave Rock 

Apartments’ 

owners 

expect EQC 

sign-off 

this week 

• By Sarla Donovan 

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave 

Rock Apartments ar expecting the 

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off 

on a se tlement agr emen this w ek. 

Body corporate chairman Mike 

White said the group had gone 

into mediation with IAG and EQC 

on February 20, and signed off 

on a deal with IAG on February 

2 – coincidenta ly seven years 

to the day after the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. However, they 

are waiting for EQC to sign the 

agr ement. 

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted 

the agr ement, there’ l be no 

problem with them doing that.” 

The apartment suffered damage 

in the February and June, 20 1, 

earthquakes and were demolished in 

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

difference betw en indemnity value, 

$10 mi lion, and the sum insured, 

$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body 

corporate. 

The mediation agr ement 

prevented Mr White from disclosing 

the se tlement amount, but he said it 

involved the two parties paying “a bit 

more money than they’d wanted to 

earlier.”

A WOOLSTON butcher proved 

to be a cut above the rest in an 

international competition. 

New World Fe ry Rd butcher 

Jeremy Garth and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently 

came second a the World 

Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern 

Ireland. 

It was the firs time Mr Garth 

had competed in the cha lenge 

and he was “rea ly proud” of 

how the team performed. 

“We produced some top quality 

products and came away 

with a g od result so we’re very 

ha py,” he said. 

The preparation for this year’s 

World Butchers’ Cha lenge was 

intense as the team members 

met in Auckland every two 

months for lengthy w ekend 

practices. 

Mr Garth, who has b en a 

butcher for 14 years, said the 

competition brought back his 

pa sion for the job. 

“Doing a l thi stuff and 

m eting new people, s eing new 

ideas, it just brings that flair 

back for you,” he said. 

Mr Garth hopes to own a 

butcher shop of his own someday 

but says for now he wi l focus 

on ge ting mor experience 

and on the 2020 cha lenge. 

“In two years’ time, we’ l be 

going back to try and win the 

title,” he said.

A CRACKDOWN on mobile

The district council wi l be

A hearing i scheduled to be

The bylaw comes as an increasing

In the past year, the district

wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated 

to the trust. 

The presentation is a prelude 

to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve 

Management Commi t e’s 

upcoming Anzac Day service. 

As a tribute to those who 

served, members of the trust wi l 

ride horseback to the service. 

Mr A pleton said it was 

important children were 

educated on what soldiers 

wen through during World 

War 1 and World War 2. 

But he said the presentation 

didn’t go into t o much detail 

and was more of a “show and 

te l” to make them aware of what 

the soldiers l oked like. 

Children were shown the type 

of kits horses were required to 

wear in the war.

AN U PER Ri carton butcher 

has proven himself to be a cut 

above his Au sie rivals at an 

international competition. 

Elite Meats owner Corey 

Winder was named in the a l 

star team a the World Butchers’ 

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland. 

Mr Winder and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, which 

includes W olston butcher 

Jeremy Garth, finished second 

in the competition. 

He said the cha lenge started 

as a “transtasman test match” 

seven years ago. 

The preparation for this 

year’s World Butchers’ Challenge 

was intense as the team 

members met in Auckland 

every two months for lengthy 

w ekend practices. Mr Winder 

said coming second against 1 

other countries was a “fantastic” 

result. 

“To get second behind Ireland 

was a huge achievement and to 

be ahead of Australia is an 

even bi ger thing for us,” he 

said. 

But Mr Winder admires the 

Australian team. 

“Those guys over there 

[Australia] are on top of their 

game, they do a g od job,” he 

said. 

“And it just showcases that 

New Zealand has got some 

of the best butchers in the 

world,” he said. 

Mr Winder has b en a butcher 

since the age of 19.

THE HALSWE L-Hornby- 

Ri carton Community Board 

has b en given the gr en ligh to 

o pose the pla ned qua ry near 

Templeton. 

Mayor Lia ne Dalziel told the 

board on Thursday it had the okay 

from the city council to make a 

submi sion if Fulton Hogan a plies 

for a resource consen to create a 

qua ry. 

Board chairman Mike Mora 

told Western News the submi sion 

would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s 

plan. 

“You can just about guarant e 

it . because we [the community 

board] don’t believe qua ries 

should be so close to residential 

areas,” he said. 

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if 

the city council would endorse the 

board’ submi sion. 

“I’d like to think so because the 

city council has had their eyes 

open as we l ove recent years over 

the crysta line silica risk,” he said. 

Mr Mora said the community 

board wi l be “representing and 

advocating” for the Templeton 

community.

Gaynor stanley 

There are few thing sadder than drab white walls, I reckon, and 

yet New Zealanders have long surrounded ourselves with them. So 

when a painter started splashing some plucky pigment around Star 

Media’s open plan office, I paid close attention to reactions. As a 

cosy mustard yellow spread over the entire far wall, the brightening 

of mood was palpable. People commented on how happy the colour 

made them feel, how much warmer the atmosphere was, how the 

sunny tone somehow lightened the load of constant deadlines. 

It was grea to see more confidence using colour, pattern and 

texture in the newly completed private homes we feature in this 

magazine too. Where not so long ago we might have felt neutral 

shades of brown or grey were somewhat audacious, today’s newly 

built homes pop with vibrant blues ( Jay and Rebekah’s place, page 

6) and copper hues (Ryan and Jen’s, page 30). Matt and Celia (page 

18) champion a monochromati colour scheme inside and out, 

while Sridhar and Susanna (page 63) chose dramatic black iron 

contrasting with smooth golden cedar to colour their new world. 

It was also eviden that more homeowners and building industry 

professionals are getting behind the movement to build better 

homes for the Christchurch climate. Warmer, healthier and cheaper 

to run is the brie from owner seeking builders with the know-how 

to construct their home from smarter building materials and designs 

that keep the cold out and the dust and electricity bi ls down. 

I really hope this magazine, and its associated Home & Living 

Show ( June 28-30), leave you brimming with the knowledge and 

inspiration to smarten up your home too.
