Cass <strong>Bay</strong><br />
crime may<br />
be caused<br />
by boy<br />
racers<br />
• By Jess Gibson<br />
CASS BAY is in the midst of a<br />
mini crime wave.<br />
Mark Fuller was annoyed when<br />
he came home last Sunday to find<br />
his fence had been damaged and<br />
his letterbox smashed in during<br />
early hours of the same morning.<br />
He reported it to police and is<br />
now looking to install security<br />
cameras and sensor lights as he<br />
has had several counts of damage<br />
to his property.<br />
“I don’t how many times we’ve<br />
repaired the fence or how many<br />
letterboxes we’ve been through.”<br />
He said he has noticed an increase<br />
in cars stolen, boats broken<br />
into and vandalism in Cass <strong>Bay</strong>.<br />
Boy racers are suspected to be<br />
the culprits in some of the crime<br />
as the winding road through Cass<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> is a popular route for them.<br />
Cass <strong>Bay</strong> Residents Association<br />
chairwoman Jenny Healey has<br />
lived in the bay for 30 years and<br />
said she has noticed a “significant<br />
difference” between now and<br />
when she moved into the area.<br />

Warren Hawke, has come up with another<br />
gem (see page 1).<br />
His latest book NZ SURF: The Collection<br />

The book has more than 400 photos and follows on from volume<br />

the book with good mate Neil Truscott.<br />
They made hollow plywood surfboards in the 1950s and 60s,<br />
under the Dolphin label.<br />
A far cry from the boards of today.<br />
Also on the front page today is a spate of annoying crime in<br />

Call for surfers to wear leg ropes<br />
• By Jess Gibson<br />
SUMNER RESIDENTS say a fad<br />
of surfers not wearing leg ropes<br />
is putting children at risk.<br />
Learn to Surf principal instructor<br />
Aaron Lock said not<br />
wearing a leg rope has become<br />
“in fashion” lately, especially due<br />
to a resurgence of traditional<br />
longboarding.<br />
He said surfers should wear leg<br />
ropes and use their common sense<br />
to be aware of others in the water.<br />
“If it’s busy and crowded on<br />
a Sunday morning then you<br />
should wear a leash but if it’s<br />
mid-week and there are two<br />
other people in the water then do<br />
what you like,” he said.<br />
Marcus Langman posted<br />
on the Sumner Community<br />
Facebook page asking surfers to<br />
wear their leg straps unless the<br />
water is not crowded or they are<br />
competing.<br />
“If you end up hitting a kid<br />
and knocking them out, injuring<br />
their face for life, or even worse,<br />
resulting in a drowning, it’s you<br />
that will have to deal with the<br />
consequences,” the post read.<br />
It saw a supportive response<br />
from other residents who shared<br />
the same concerns, some who<br />
had experienced incidences with<br />
loose surfboards.<br />

DISAPPOINTING: Sumner’s Ryder Townshend, 9, was surfing when a stray longboard hit him<br />
in the head at Sumner Beach. <br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> News she was “gutted”<br />
when her 9-year-old son, Ryder<br />
Townshend, paddled in from his<br />
surf at Sumner Beach with a gash<br />
on his head in May.<br />
He had to get eight stitches<br />
after another surfer lost control<br />
of a longboard and it knocked<br />
him on the head.<br />
tree trouble?<br />

“It was a shame. I can appreciate<br />
that there are amazing surfers<br />
in the area and I understand they<br />
may want the freedom of not<br />
wearing a leg rope. But the reality<br />
is, in a full beach, it’s a safety<br />
issue,” she said.<br />
“There is a time and a place<br />
for leg ropes and the ocean is<br />
for everyone to share. If it’s busy<br />
and there are kids about surfers<br />
should put their leg ropes on.”<br />

In Brief<br />
SEA RESCUE<br />
Sumner Lifeboat was called out<br />
by police to assist a small boat<br />
carrying six people at about<br />
11.40am on Friday after it had lost<br />
power between Taylors Mistake<br />
and Sumner. The Blue Arrow<br />
Rescue vessel was launched and<br />
quickly recovered and towed the<br />
boat and passengers to Sumner.<br />
The Taylors Mistake and Sumner<br />
Surf Life Saving clubs supported<br />
the recovery in inflatable rescue<br />
boats.<br />
BRIDGE REPAIR<br />
Maintenance to bridge A63 on<br />
Little Akaloa Rd is due to begin<br />
early next month. The city council<br />
will be replacing the main beam<br />
to avoid weight restrictions on the<br />
bridge. Other work will include repairs<br />
to the damaged handrails and<br />
clearing of debris and vegetation<br />
from the deck. There may be slight<br />
delays to vehicle traffic when the<br />
beam is being installed and a stop<br />
and go system will be in place.<br />
SEA WALL FEEDBACK<br />
The public has until Wednesday<br />
to have a say on repairs to the sea<br />
wall on Beach Rd, Akaroa. The<br />
city council is seeking feedback on<br />
options to fix the structure, which<br />
was built between 1901-1904. To<br />

ANNOYED: Cass <strong>Bay</strong> resident Mark Fuller came home last Sunday to find<br />
his fence and letterbox had been damaged by vandals during early hours<br />
of the same morning.<br />
Cass <strong>Bay</strong> crime has<br />
residents concerned<br />
• From page 1<br />
“I think it’s getting<br />
progressively worse. There<br />
have certainly been a few<br />
incidents in the last few<br />
months and I know residents<br />
are quite concerned,”<br />
she said.<br />
Mrs Healey said there are<br />
concerns some of the crime<br />
may be related to boy racers.<br />
However, Senior Sergeant<br />
Roy Appley said police<br />
have not seen an increase in<br />
reported<br />
crime in<br />
Cass <strong>Bay</strong>.<br />
“It is<br />
important<br />
that people<br />
report<br />
all crime<br />
to police Roy Appley<br />
because<br />
it will help us build a true<br />
picture of what is happening,”<br />
he said.<br />
He said if residents are<br />
interested, a meeting could<br />
be co-ordinated between<br />
the community and police<br />
to address any concerns.<br />
“We want people to be<br />
able to live in safe, happy<br />
communities. If people<br />
don’t think they’ve got that,<br />
then we need to talk about<br />
it.”<br />

Vessels ready for harbour event<br />
A LARGE, traditionally carved<br />
Ngāi Tahu waka moored at<br />
Lyttelton’s Te Ana Marina will<br />
soon be joined by a small fleet of<br />
historic vessels.<br />
The waka named<br />
Kōtukumairangi has made its<br />
way over from the banks of the<br />
Ōpara River near Okains <strong>Bay</strong>,<br />
where it is usually homed, ahead<br />
of the Tuia 250 commemorations<br />
in the harbour on December 6.<br />
During the commemorations,<br />
a flotilla of vessels will enter the<br />
harbour to mark 250 years since<br />
the first encounters between<br />
Māori and Europeans and celebrate<br />
the voyaging traditions of<br />
Aotearoa.<br />
Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke, in<br />
partnership with the Lyttelton<br />
Port Company, are hosting the<br />
historic flotilla of vessels at Te<br />
Ana Marina, which is as far<br />
south as they will travel.<br />
Three Polynesian doublehulled<br />
sailing canoes, as well as<br />
the Spirit of New Zealand, will<br />
be welcomed to the harbour.<br />
The crew will be firstly hosted<br />
overnight by Te Rūnanga o<br />

“We appreciate having all<br />

“Te Ana Marina was opened<br />
last year with the aim of<br />
regenerating the inner harbour<br />
as a vibrant community-focused<br />

Beach rocks<br />
to stay<br />
• By Jess Gibson<br />
ROCKS THAT have come to the<br />
surface at the beach near Shag<br />
Rock following the construction<br />
of the Coastal Pathway will be<br />
reviewed in the new year.<br />
City council staff held a briefing<br />
on Monday night with the Redcliffs<br />
Residents’ Association, Sumner<br />
Residents’ Community Association<br />
and Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />
Community Board members.<br />
The RRA has been trying to have<br />
the rock spoil removed by the city<br />
council as members believe it is<br />
ruining the amenity of the sand.<br />
However, at the briefing, city<br />
council staff said it would review<br />
the problem in February or March<br />
to allow time for the beach to return<br />
to its normal state naturally.<br />
RRA chairwoman Christine Toner<br />
said while there is no satisfactory<br />
outcome for beach users right now,<br />
it will have to trust that the rocks<br />
will clear.<br />
“We are happy that they are<br />
happy to keep the communication<br />
lines open over the issue,” said Ms<br />
Toner.<br />

Meeting to<br />
discuss<br />
protection<br />
of estuary<br />
shellfish<br />
• By Jess Gibson<br />
A MEETING tonight will help<br />
work out who is responsible for<br />
monitoring shellfish removal in<br />
the Avon Heathcote Estuary.<br />
The Avon Heathcote Ihutai Estuary<br />
Trust has been working to<br />
determine whether the Ministry<br />
of Fisheries should either increase<br />
signage for collection limits,<br />
ban harvesting, or whether the<br />
Canterbury District Health Board<br />
should close the estuary.<br />
Ministry for Primary Industries’<br />
research suggests there<br />
could be declining cockle biomass<br />
in parts of the estuary, while separate<br />
evidence from Environment<br />
Canterbury suggests there may<br />
be a human health risk associated<br />
with eating the shellfish.<br />
The trust has also been talking<br />
with local iwi Ngai Tuahuriri<br />
about the possibility of developing<br />
a mataitai at the estuary, which<br />
would allow tangata whenua to<br />
manage the area.<br />
Trust manager Tanya Jenkins<br />
said at its board meeting tonight,<br />
members will discuss all information<br />
and evidence it has collected,<br />
which will help to figure out who<br />
to approach next.<br />
She said the trust is hoping to<br />
get an answer before Christmas.<br />
“We are really busy investigating<br />
but there are all of these different<br />
compartments involved in<br />
it, and it makes it very difficult.”<br />
The recreational daily bag limit<br />
for cockles is 150 per person per<br />
day.<br />
Said Ms Jenkins: “Right now,<br />
some people are just taking far<br />
more than the limit because they<br />
just don’t know what the limit is.<br />
But there’s no point in putting signs<br />
up to say you can only take 150 if it’s<br />
not even safe to eat anyhow.”<br />
In June, CDHB medical officer<br />
of health Dr Alistair Humphrey<br />
compared eating shellfish from<br />
the estuary to “munching on a<br />
dog-turd sandwich.”<br />
Book features Sumner surfing history<br />
• From page 1<br />
Mr Johnson, with good friend<br />
Neil Truscott, built around 100<br />
hollow plywood surfboards in<br />
the 1950s and early 1960s.<br />
These were manufactured<br />
under the ‘Dolphin’ label and are<br />
an integral and important part of<br />
New Zealand surfing history.<br />
Denis Quane of Moncks Spur,<br />
a pioneer builder of fibreglass<br />
surfboards from the 1960s, also<br />
has a special place.<br />
It includes an outline of his<br />
factory history in Sumner and<br />
Redcliffs through until he and<br />
his wife Chris opened their first<br />
Surf Dive’N Ski shop in the city<br />
in 1969.<br />
Denis is still shaping surfboards<br />
at 77 years old.<br />
His boards are now treasured<br />
collector’s items amongst the<br />
surfing community.<br />
Surfing at Scarborough Beach<br />
is central to the ‘Logburner<br />
Chapter,’ with photos and information<br />
about modern longboarding.<br />
Photographic and reflective<br />
essays intertwined with poetry<br />
celebrate the rich culture that<br />
the regeneration of longboard,<br />
logging and the retro style shortboard<br />
bring to wave riding.<br />
The ‘Coming Through’ chapter<br />
contains a feature for teenagers<br />
based on skills for surfing and<br />
skills for growing through the<br />
teenage years.<br />
The author has drawn upon<br />
more than 50 years of surfing<br />
experience and involvement in<br />
researching and assembling this<br />
volume.<br />
His connection includes surfing<br />
successfully at a competitive<br />
level, organisation and management<br />
of major surfing competitions<br />
and festivals and the<br />
position of chief judge at the New<br />
Zealand Surfing Championships.<br />
Over the past 40 years, Mr<br />
Hawke has been a freelance<br />
writer and photographer for surfing<br />
magazines around the world.<br />
He has also included material<br />
from other surf photographers<br />
and writers to extend the content<br />
and coverage of New Zealand<br />
surf and surfers.<br />
The design and layout of the<br />
book by graphic artist Josh<br />
O’Rouke has been a balancing act<br />
between content and space.<br />
His flair and ability has ensured<br />
the book presents itself as a<br />
volume jam-packed with surfing<br />
culture.<br />
The book is published by<br />
Auckland based beach and surf<br />
publisher Photo CPL and is<br />
available from most book shops<br />
and a number of surf shops.<br />

Artists inspired by nature<br />
THREE ARTISTS have come<br />
together to showcase their work<br />
for a second time.<br />
Sheila Brown, of Mt Pleasant,<br />
Jo Loughnan, of Redcliffs, and<br />
Jo Ogier, of Scarborough, will<br />
exhibit their art in a studio on<br />
Taylors Mistake Rd, which is<br />
rarely open to the public.<br />
Following last year’s exhibition,<br />
the show will be extended from<br />
one day to two, over Saturday<br />
and Sunday from 10am to 4pm.<br />
There will be an opportunity to<br />
meet and talk to the artists, who<br />
each work in different mediums<br />
and draw inspiration from the<br />
environment around them.<br />
Brown has always been<br />
inspired by nature and her<br />
surroundings, whether it is the<br />
common seagull taking flight<br />
or the kingfisher quietly<br />
perched, birdlife is a<br />
common thread from one<br />
canvas to her next.<br />
Patches of colours have<br />
become very characteristic<br />
of her work, which<br />
would be described as a<br />
cross over style, of expressionism<br />
and abstract.<br />
Loughnan’s figurative<br />
work is inspired by the people<br />
around her and depicts them in a<br />
free and expressive style.<br />
She captures a moment in<br />
time using a variety of mediums<br />
including indian ink, often using<br />
a bamboo skewer for line work,<br />
as well as charcoal, chalk pastels<br />
and acrylic paint.<br />
Ogier’s work focuses on the<br />
natural world around her and<br />
reflects her strong conservational<br />
and ecological ties<br />
with it.<br />
She uses acrylic, watercolour<br />
and printmaking<br />
techniques<br />
to represent many of<br />
the endemic species of<br />
flora and fauna.<br />
Some of her current<br />
work is also looking at<br />
the impact of plastic<br />
waste on the ocean.<br />

Lunches could be cut<br />
at childhood centre<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
A LOW DECILE Woolston<br />
early childhood centre is set to<br />
stop providing lunches to its<br />
children due to what<br />
it says is insufficient<br />
Government funding.<br />
The Ministry of<br />
Education has offered<br />
Kimihia Early Learning<br />
Centre an $81,000<br />
funding increase but<br />
its manager Radhika<br />
Chakrabarti said it will<br />
still not be enough to<br />
provide the lunches next<br />
year and cover its operating<br />
costs.<br />
Said Ministry of Education<br />
deputy secretary of sector<br />
enablement and support Katrina<br />
Casey: “We have recently<br />
approved increased funding for<br />
Kimihia Early Learning Centre,<br />
which is due to take effect from<br />
<strong>November</strong>. We are currently<br />
waiting to hear back from them<br />
on whether they agree to this<br />
increase.”<br />
“[The] Government currently<br />
spends over $1.8 billion on early<br />
childhood education through<br />
education subsidies,” Ms Casey<br />
said.<br />
Mrs Chakrabarti said the<br />
centre has to either save about<br />
Radhika<br />
Chakrabarti<br />
$40,000 it costs a year for the<br />
lunches or make cuts to its<br />
teaching resources.<br />
“I did not want to compromise<br />
on our teaching and learning<br />
for the children because<br />
they are the future of this<br />
country.”<br />
The cost of running<br />
the centre has increased,<br />
so it would need a bigger<br />
funding boost than<br />
the one offered, Mrs<br />
Chakrabarti said.<br />
She said the centre<br />
is in a low decile area<br />
and many parents rely on the<br />
lunches it provides to ease some<br />
financial pressure.<br />
“The meals provided in our<br />
centre are very, very important<br />
for the children in this<br />
community.<br />
“The mums and parents and<br />
teen mums, they say that this is<br />
the place where my child eats.<br />
“This is going to be hard on<br />
parents. The families are going<br />
to struggle.”<br />
Mrs Chakrabarti has spoken<br />
to Port Hills MP Ruth Dyson<br />
about the lack of funding.<br />
Ms Dyson said she is<br />
aware of the financial<br />
challenges the centre faces and<br />
hopes “a fair resolution can be<br />
met soon.”<br />

Stock exclusion meeting<br />
NEW RULES will see farmers<br />
in Wairewa Valley remove their<br />
stock near Lake Forsyth before<br />
the new year.<br />
A change to the Land and Water<br />
Regional Plan aims to target<br />
loss of phosphorus-rich sediment<br />
into the lake and its surrounding<br />
rivers.<br />
The area has seen dramatic<br />
changes over the last 160 years,<br />
from the removal of substantial<br />
areas of native forest to mechanical<br />
lake level control.<br />
The effects of increasing<br />
sediment to the water quality<br />
initiated the need for a specific<br />
catchment plan to address the<br />
degrading lake.<br />
Crafted in <strong>20</strong>14, the Zone<br />
Implementation Plan Addendum<br />
provided the background<br />
information that led to the plan<br />
change.<br />
It focused on targeting any<br />
possible contributors to further<br />
sediment loss in the Wairewa<br />
Valley floor catchment.<br />
Part of the rule changes was for<br />
landowners in the catchment to<br />
exclude stock from the bed and<br />
banks and the riparian margin<br />
of the Ōkana, Ōkuti, and Takiritawai<br />
rivers and Lake Forsyth by<br />
January 1.<br />
Former Banks Peninsula Zone<br />
Committee member Pam Richardson<br />
was part of the formation<br />
of these rule changes.<br />

RULE CHANGES: A plan<br />

She said discussions around<br />
the stock exclusion rules were<br />
debated directly with those landowners<br />
to address their concerns.<br />
Landowners embraced the new<br />
regulations and have used it as an<br />
opportunity to not only increase<br />
the biodiversity values on-farm<br />
but also negate the risk of further<br />
sediment loss into surrounding<br />
waterways.<br />

Breaking through another barrier<br />
I’VE BROKEN through some<br />
sort of parenting barrier I<br />
believe.<br />
For almost all of Vittoria’s life I<br />
would get stressed about keeping<br />
her as clean as possible, as dry as<br />
possible.<br />
Last Thursday, as she ran<br />
through water over her ankles<br />
in one of her nice new summer<br />
dresses we got in Italy, I just<br />
smiled and laughed at how much<br />
fun she was having.<br />
Now let’s rewind a little as to<br />
how I got there. With the beautiful<br />
sunny weather we’ve been<br />
having (off and on) lately, I’ve<br />
taken to heading down to the<br />
Margaret Mahey playground a<br />
lot more with Vittoria.<br />
She’s at the age now where it’s<br />
actually proper fun for me too –<br />
she wants me to join her on the<br />
slides, wants me to build sandcastles<br />
she can smash, or jump<br />
on the trampolines with her.<br />
At 31, there’s very few times<br />
that playing on playground<br />
equipment is socially acceptable<br />
and having a toddler on hand<br />
makes it totally okay.<br />
Speaking of sand, the water<br />
pump in the sandpit there is to<br />
kids what flame is to moths; they<br />
can’t help but run into it and<br />
they’ll probably change colour<br />
because of it.<br />
You know, from a bright-cleanclothes<br />
tone to a stained-withwet-sand<br />
shade?<br />
So over a couple of visits I’ve<br />
just been forced to accept her<br />
getting dirty and be thankful that<br />
it’s sunny, that we live close and<br />
that we have a functioning washing<br />
machine.<br />
Which brings us to last Thursday,<br />
when we headed there to<br />
meet up with some friends. Not<br />
only did they introduce us to the<br />
flying fox – the most entertaining<br />
way to test how good you really<br />
are at holding your toddler –<br />
they also opened our eyes to the<br />
water play area.<br />
As soon as the first droplets<br />
hit Vittoria (as the fountain area<br />
got turned on in a surprise move<br />
while I was obliviously walking<br />
around it) she was hooked.<br />

New Zealand contemporary artist Mark Dimock has art@lit<br />
been living and working in Eketahuna since 1980 where<br />
he has established a large studio workshop and gallery.<br />
Mark enjoys using influences from primitive and ancient<br />
cultures such as Egyptian and Native American art. He<br />
inlays rustic wood with polished steel, aluminium, copper<br />
and brass. Mark’s 3D pieces are made from found<br />
materials. Old fence posts, abandoned farm equipment<br />
and rusted steel form beautiful outdoor sculptures.<br />

Native Plants - Our National Heroes<br />
- Championed as coins, silhouettes cast against the sky<br />
are captured and imprinted.<br />
- Represented in the full round, the powerful structure<br />
and symmetry of the Nikau.<br />
“My Sculptures are Constructed rather than Carved,<br />
crossing the boundaries between Natural and Man made<br />
Forms, the Domestic and Industry, Architectural and<br />
Domestic Scales.<br />
I see my work as A Celebration of Heart and Mind actively<br />
involving my Viewer from Interactive or Wearable through<br />
to Challenging and Untouchable.”<br />

SPLASH: She<br />
might not look<br />
too damp here,<br />
but she had only<br />
just got in.<br />
From there she happily ran<br />
from one play area to the next,<br />
turning wheels, opening dams or<br />
giving me heart attacks by standing<br />
on wet ledges.<br />
On a side note, why is there so<br />
much smooth concrete in that<br />
area? I mean what? They want<br />
parents like me to wince and<br />
stress every time some sodden<br />
kid runs over it?<br />
Watching Vittoria run up and<br />
down with other kids, grinning<br />
and laughing like a loon while<br />
soaking wet from head to toe<br />
really made my day. It made me<br />
feel silly for worrying about wet<br />
and dirty clothes so much before.<br />
Especially since I always carry<br />
spare clothes.<br />

5pm on Sundays.<br />
A typical ‘day in the life’ of a<br />
lifeguard on a Sunday usually<br />
consists of arriving in the morning<br />
and training, whether that’s<br />
the senior surf squad training,<br />
canoe crews out paddling, or<br />
assisting with our nipper programme<br />
on a Sunday morning.<br />
Prior to the start of patrol,<br />
lifeguards will begin to prepare<br />
all the equipment required for a<br />
patrol to ensure we have everything<br />
ready to go from 11am, we<br />
also assess the conditions to locate<br />
the safest area on the beach<br />
to put our flags. Throughout<br />
patrol we have regular rotations,<br />
from keeping a lookout from the<br />
club, being on the water’s edge<br />
between the flags whenever we<br />
have swimmers or doing a water<br />
patrol with a tube or on a rescue<br />
board.<br />
With so many environmental<br />
factors around Taylors Mistake<br />
we are always on our toes to<br />
ensure public safety at all times,<br />
and constantly reassess the<br />
conditions throughout the<br />
day to maintain the flags in the<br />
safest swimming zone for the<br />
public.<br />
As a volunteer lifeguard, it is<br />
a great way to give back to the<br />
community and spend our summers<br />
at the beach.<br />
My tips for swimming at the<br />
beach this summer include<br />
choose a lifeguarded beach and<br />
swim between the flags, ask a<br />
lifeguard for advice as conditions<br />
can change, don’t overestimate<br />
your ability and know your limits,<br />
keep young children within<br />
arm’s reach at all times, never<br />
SAFETY: Surf<br />
lifesaving<br />
patrols in<br />
Taylors<br />
Mistake are<br />
under way.<br />
swim or surf alone, when fishing<br />
from rocks you should always<br />
wear a lifejacket, be sun smart<br />
and if in doubt, stay out.<br />
Also, if you are caught in a rip<br />
current, relax and float, raise<br />
your hand to signal for help, ride<br />
the rip until it stops, and you can<br />
swim safely back to shore.<br />
Playing a part in reducing the risk of fire<br />
Port Hills MP<br />
Ruth Dyson<br />
writes about<br />
the risk of fire<br />
over summer<br />
and the need<br />
for a meeting<br />
between<br />
organisations<br />
and residents to educate<br />
the public on how to act<br />
safely<br />
It has been horrific watching<br />
the devastation of the fires in<br />
California and closer to home in<br />
Australia.<br />
The extreme winds and prematurely<br />
dry conditions have made<br />
it the disaster that it has been for<br />
so many people. Lives lost and<br />
homes lost.<br />
We know that these extreme<br />
events are becoming more frequent<br />
because of climate change.<br />
In California, they say they no<br />
longer have a “fire season” – it’s a<br />
permanent state.<br />
Although not nearly on the<br />
same scale, we can all well remember<br />
the Port Hills fires nearly<br />
two years ago. The response<br />
to the fires was reviewed and the<br />
Port Hills fire management plan<br />
was delivered.<br />
Walking around our tracks<br />
on the Port Hills, I can’t help<br />
but wonder if the warnings of<br />
that time have been properly<br />
heard by the relevant authorities<br />
– here, there are several<br />
involved.<br />
While the overall management<br />
of the plan is the responsibility<br />
of the city council, I am not<br />
confident that we are not in<br />
danger of again having another<br />
disaster because of the number<br />
of organisations and individuals<br />
RISK: A fire management plan was put in place after the Port<br />
Hills blaze almost two years ago. PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />
that each have part of the<br />
responsibility for implementing<br />
the plan.<br />
And with the advent of fireworks<br />
season and the absolute<br />
stupidity of some people letting<br />
them off, the risk just increases.<br />
I would like to see a presummer<br />
meeting where<br />
the leaders of the various<br />
organisations get together and<br />
ensure that there is education<br />
of private property owners and<br />
their responsibility to keep grass<br />
and foliage properly maintained,<br />
the Government landowners<br />
Land Information New Zealand<br />
and the city council being held<br />
to account for the maintenance<br />
of their properties, and local<br />
residents being part of the picture<br />
and solution.<br />
The recent residents’ meeting<br />
in Sumner provided an excellent<br />
opportunity for such a briefing<br />
from the local fire chief Daryl<br />
Sayer.<br />
That deserves congratulations.<br />
But we now need it replicated for<br />
all our communities across the<br />
Port Hills.

Tasty Bites<br />
How to make a cake taste as good as it looks<br />
There is not much better<br />
than a cup of tea or<br />
coffee and a slice of cake,<br />
especially when it almost<br />
looks too good to eat. Here’s<br />
one you can easily decorate<br />
yourself<br />
Morning Magpie’s carrot<br />
cake<br />
For the cake<br />
2 free-range eggs and 2 freerange<br />
egg yolks<br />
4 free range egg whites<br />
3<strong>20</strong>g flour<br />
1 tsp baking powder<br />
1 tsp baking soda<br />
2 tsp cinnamon<br />
2 tsp ground cloves<br />
400g neutral-tasting oil such as<br />
sunflower or canola<br />
540g white sugar<br />
100g chopped walnuts<br />
100g desiccated coconut<br />
270g peeled and grated carrot<br />
(about two carrots)<br />
For the icing<br />
525g cream cheese<br />
210g softened (to room<br />
temperature) butter<br />
105g icing sugar<br />
75g honey<br />
fresh thyme<br />
Directions<br />
Cake<br />
Separate the eggs (six in total).<br />
Put the whole eggs and yolks<br />
in one bowl, and the whites in<br />
another large, clean and dry<br />
metal bowl.<br />
You will be left with two<br />
spare egg yolks (with a little<br />
imagination you can find a way<br />
to put them to good use in some<br />
other noble kitchen endeavour).<br />
Add a pinch of salt to the egg<br />
whites and, with an electric<br />
beater, whisk until they form<br />
stiff white peaks (the salt helps to<br />
stabilise them). Set aside.<br />
In a large bowl, beat the<br />
sugar and oil on high for 2min.<br />
Add the whole eggs and egg<br />
yolks, continuing to mix until<br />
incorporated.<br />
Use a rubber spatula to mix the<br />
walnuts, coconut, and carrot into<br />
the creamed oil and eggs.<br />
Sift the flour, baking powder<br />
and soda, and spices into the wet<br />
mix, and delicately fold through.<br />
Fold one-third of the whipped<br />
egg whites into the rest of the<br />
batter, followed by the rest of<br />
them. Don’t worry if there are a<br />
few streaks of white left – this is<br />
far preferable to over-mixing the<br />
cake batter.<br />
Divide the<br />
batter between<br />
two greased<br />
round silicon cake<br />
moulds. Make sure<br />
to weigh as you<br />
are filling them,<br />
so that the two<br />
rounds end up<br />
evenly sized.<br />
Bake in the<br />
centre of the oven<br />
for 40min at 160<br />
deg C.<br />
After baking,<br />
let the cake cool<br />
completely in the<br />
moulds (at least<br />
four hours).<br />
If you are<br />
leaving it<br />
overnight before<br />
icing – this is a<br />
good idea – wrap<br />
the rounds in cling<br />
film once cooled and removed<br />
from moulds.<br />
Assembly and decoration<br />
Make sure all ingredients are at<br />
room temperature, and also clear<br />
a shelf in your fridge that a large<br />
chopping board will fit on.<br />
In a large bowl, beat the<br />
cream cheese on high for about<br />
4min, until it takes on a silky<br />
consistency. Beat in the butter.<br />
Add the icing sugar and honey,<br />
and reduce the beater to a lower<br />
speed until they are fully mixed<br />
through. Then your icing is<br />
ready.<br />
If the cake rose into a dome<br />
shape while baking, remove the<br />
rounded top with a bread knife<br />
to make sure both rounds are<br />
level.<br />
Place one cake round on a<br />
large chopping board, and spread<br />
a 1cm thick layer of icing on top<br />
of it. Stack the other round on<br />
it, making sure the two are well<br />
aligned. Don’t worry if some of<br />
the filling comes out the sides.<br />
Use an offset spatula to spread<br />
a thin layer of icing over the top<br />
and sides of the assembled cake.<br />
It doesn’t matter if you can see<br />
the cake through this layer. Once<br />
it is covered, place the cake in the<br />
fridge for one hour. When this<br />
first layer of icing sets, it prevents<br />
any dark cake crumbs getting<br />
mixed up in the final layer of<br />
white icing.<br />
Once the first layer is set,<br />
remove the cake from the fridge<br />
and apply the rest of the icing as<br />
you see fit. You can put a thick<br />
layer on the top and a scant layer<br />
around the sides, but this is just<br />
a matter of taste – you should<br />
experiment and find a style you<br />
like. Chill the cake for another<br />
hour before cutting. Garnish<br />
with fresh thyme leaves and flaky<br />
sea salt. Use a hot bread knife to<br />
cut the cake, cleaning it between<br />
each slice.<br />

REAL ESTATE<br />
Rich in memories, ripe for redevelopment<br />
88 Nayland Street, Sumner<br />
Auction: 12 December from 12pm, 98 Moorhouse Ave<br />
4 Bedrooms | 2 Living | 2 Bathroom | 1 Garage | Listing SM0265<br />
This grand old villa has been a family<br />
treasure for generations and has stood<br />
proudly for much of Sumner’s history.<br />
The passing of time has certainly left its<br />
mark on this somewhat faded glory; but<br />
those with a passion for vintage villas will<br />
appreciate the chance to breathe life back<br />
into this historic home. Or the genuine<br />
quarter acre section may appeal to a canny<br />
developer, with an eye for an opportunity.<br />
This captivating property has been<br />
the setting for many cherished family<br />
memories. The next owners will have a<br />
project on their hands to create tomorrow’s<br />
dream home, however the possibilities are<br />
endless. If the spacious period home itself<br />
is not appealing enough, the established<br />
1012sqm section in a central Sumner<br />
location is an enticing prospect in this<br />
sought-after seaside suburb.<br />
After approximately 50 years tenure,<br />
our owner is sadly saying goodbye to their<br />
much-loved home, so there is no plan B<br />
and this must be sold! Interest is expected<br />
to be strong, so early viewing is advised.<br />

viewing please contact<br />
