SUMNER HAS been hit by<br />
a strange crime wave – and<br />
the culprit is not pussyfooting<br />
around.<br />
Jasper the cat lives on Wiggins<br />
St and has been stealing<br />
items from houses as far as two<br />
blocks over from his home.<br />
The one-year-old male<br />
Burmese has pinched a large<br />
plastic bag worth items like<br />
socks, underwear, gloves, baby<br />
clothes and swimming trunks,<br />
among other items since before<br />
Christmas.<br />
Owner Mette Kristiansen<br />
said Jasper’s rampage started<br />
out at home where he would<br />
take socks off of the washing<br />
line and chew them up.<br />

Taylors<br />
Mistake a<br />
dumping<br />
ground<br />
• By Jess Gibson<br />
TAYLORS MISTAKE Beach is<br />
being treated as a tip.<br />
Taylors Mistake Surf Life Saving<br />
Club members are frustrated<br />
at the amount of litter scattered<br />
around overflowing bins by visitors.<br />
There are eight bins at the beach<br />
but the more visible ones near the<br />
toilet block and pathways to the<br />
carpark are often where problems<br />
occur.<br />
Surf club<br />
captain Tisha<br />
Bradley said patrol<br />
members are<br />
“always picking<br />
up” rubbish off<br />
the beach.<br />
“We’ve got our<br />
own rubbish bin<br />
and we often<br />
Tisha Bradley<br />
pick up rubbish and put it into<br />
our own bin.”<br />
However, she said while it is<br />
frustrating when people leave<br />
their rubbish directly beside the<br />
bins, she would prefer people to<br />
put it there rather than leave it<br />
down on the beach to prevent<br />
people from standing on sharp<br />
litter, like glass.<br />

LEAVING PROBLEMS for someone<br />
else is one of the lesser likeable human<br />
characteristics.<br />
That will no doubt be what future generations<br />
think of us now, and those who<br />
have lived through the world-changing<br />
industrial growth of the 1900s.<br />
But right now, there is a problem at Taylors Mistake (see<br />
page 1).<br />
The hot weather has seen huge numbers at the beach and<br />
there’s simply not enough rubbish bins for what people want to<br />
leave behind.<br />
Sumner resident Alice Rae goes to Taylors a lot and has<br />
some common sense advice: “In reality, they need to take selfresponsibility<br />
and just have some basic common sense to not<br />
leave their junk lying around for someone else to clean up or<br />
get blown into the ocean.”<br />
Fair call.<br />

News<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
PEOPLE ARE being warned not<br />
to go to areas like Godley Head<br />
in hot and dry weather, as they<br />
may not be able to escape if a<br />
major fire breaks out.<br />
The warning was issued by<br />
fire chiefs and police prior to the<br />
past week’s high temperatures,<br />
which reached into the early to<br />
mid-30s.<br />
But Sumner Volunteer<br />
Fire Brigade<br />
chief officer Daryl<br />
Sayer said he would<br />
“absolutely” advise<br />
people to continue to<br />
Wayne<br />
Hamilton<br />
be cautious.<br />
“There’s still concern<br />
there and we’ve<br />
still got a bit of summer<br />
to go so the weather is only<br />
going to dry up the hills more.”<br />
Fire and Emergency New Zealand<br />
encouraged people to avoid<br />
isolated areas that have only one<br />
or two entry and exit points, one<br />
example being Godley Head.<br />
Said FENZ specialist fire<br />
investigator Wayne Hamilton:<br />
“Stay away from those areas.<br />
We would suggest rather than<br />
walking up the hills, go along<br />
the beach. People need to be<br />
conscious that they are entering<br />
high fire danger areas,” he said.<br />
All walks in areas with vegetation<br />
should be limited to the cool<br />
of the morning, Mr Hamilton<br />
said.<br />
FENZ asked for people to<br />
save outdoor activities in rural<br />
vegetation areas, such as motorcycling,<br />
trail-biking and dirtbiking<br />
for a cooler day when the<br />

areas temperatures soar<br />
DANGER: Fire chiefs have warned people to be wary of areas like Godley<br />
Head, as the city’s fire risk reached extreme. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />
fire risk is lower.<br />
Additionally, FENZ asked<br />
motorists to not park their cars<br />
on dry vegetation.<br />
“It’s a real issue; vehicles cause<br />
a lot of fires. It is very important<br />
they park on gravelled areas,<br />
don’t drive off the road on to areas<br />
of vegetation,” Mr Hamilton<br />
said.<br />
A total fire ban continues in<br />
the entire Canterbury region,<br />
meaning lighting any<br />
fires is strictly prohibited.<br />
Mr Hamilton said<br />
small amounts of<br />
drizzle do not make a<br />
difference to fire risk<br />
conditions.<br />
“Unless we get significant<br />
rain, people<br />
should not be complacent,<br />
it doesn’t make a<br />
difference.”<br />
Earlier this month,<br />
it was revealed a<br />
multi-agency approach,<br />
Operation<br />
Lucifer, conducted<br />
by FENZ, police and<br />
neighbourhood watch<br />
groups was under way<br />
to prevent fires.<br />
Senior Sergeant Roy<br />
Appley said the operation is<br />
continuing and is monitoring<br />
suspicious behaviour.<br />
He is encouraging members<br />
of the public to take photos, particularly<br />
of vehicles and people,<br />
who may be acting suspiciously.<br />
• Phone 111 immediately<br />
if you see or smell smoke,<br />
or see any suspicious<br />
behaviour.<br />

ADVICE ON SEATING<br />
City council staff have been<br />
asked for advice on the repair<br />
and replacement of seating on<br />
the Esplanade. The Linwood-<br />
Central-Heathcote Community<br />
Board requested information<br />
due to concerns by member<br />
Darrell Latham that a lot of the<br />
seating was “past its used by<br />
date.”<br />
SURF PATROLS KEPT BUSY<br />
It was a busy weekend for surf lifesaving<br />

soared to 35 deg C. Sumner Surf<br />
Life Saving Club patrol finished<br />
up at 7pm after 12 rescues, five<br />
assists, two water searches and<br />
250 preventative actions. Taylors<br />

AKAROA DIESEL SPILL<br />
An investigation is under way<br />

the shoreline on the south side<br />
of the wharf in Akaroa <strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />

But suddenly, clothing she did not<br />
recognise started appearing in the back<br />
hallway.<br />
“To be honest it was quite funny, it<br />
was amusing.”<br />
Now, she is attempting to right<br />
Jasper’s wrongs by returning the stolen<br />
goods to their owners.<br />
“As time has gone on I’ve realised that<br />
I would really like to find the people<br />
who own these things. These things<br />
are not cheap to buy and I’m sure these<br />
people want them back.”<br />
After Ms Kristiansen posted about<br />
Jasper’s antics on the Sumner Community<br />
Facebook page, one person has<br />
claimed a pair of gardening gloves, and<br />
another person socks and underwear.<br />
She also has a plastic bin just inside<br />
her gate with all Jaspers loot in it for<br />
neighbours to go and claim.<br />
Jasper is not the only sticky-pawed cat<br />
in Sumner.<br />
• From page 1<br />
Sumner resident Alice<br />
Rae, who uses the beach<br />
often, said people need to<br />
take more care in helping<br />
keep the area clean, rather<br />
than “passing the blame off<br />
to the council.”<br />
“In reality, they need<br />
to take self-responsibility<br />
and just have some basic<br />
common sense to not leave<br />
their junk lying around for<br />
someone else to clean up or<br />
get blown into the ocean,”<br />
she said.<br />
“There are far too many<br />
people pointing fingers for<br />
not solving environmental<br />
issues, rather than actually<br />
caring about what they<br />
can do personally, and not<br />
being so lazy and irresponsible.”<br />
City council head of<br />
parks Andrew Rutledge<br />
said bins are emptied twice<br />
daily.<br />
He said a solar-powered<br />
Bigbelly rubbish bin has<br />
been ordered and will be<br />
installed this month.<br />
A built-in compactor<br />
means the bins can swallow<br />
up to five times more than<br />
a standard waste bin.<br />
CAUGHT IN THE ACT: Jasper was<br />
sighted stealing a sock by one of his<br />
neighbours. <br />
In March, <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News reported<br />
that resident Sara Buerki’s cat Roddy<br />
had stolen “baskets” worth of goods<br />
from neighbours.<br />
If you think you may have had items<br />
stolen by Jasper, email Ms Kristiansen<br />
on kristiansenm@hotmail.com with the<br />
subject line “JASPERS LOOT”.<br />
Taylors Mistake being<br />
treated as a rubbish tip<br />
SPILLING OVER:<br />
Food packaging, a<br />
broken boogie board<br />
and empty alcohol<br />
cans were some of the<br />
items left scattered<br />
around an overflowing<br />
rubbish bin at Taylors<br />
Mistake last week.<br />
The bins utilise smart<br />
sensors to detect rubbish<br />
levels and alert maintenance<br />
staff when nearing<br />
capacity.<br />

Food for community board in spotlight<br />
• By Louis Day<br />
THE BANKS Peninsula<br />
Community Board has increased<br />
its catering costs in spite of public<br />
scrutiny last term.<br />
Travel and time commitments<br />
are two of the reasons given as<br />
to why it is the only community<br />
board out of seven which will not<br />
cut back on its food budget.<br />
It now takes the title of the<br />
highest spending board with<br />
an estimated $228 put aside for<br />
catering per meeting, an increase<br />
from the $216 allocated towards<br />
catering in the previous term.<br />
City council head of community<br />
support, governance and<br />
partnerships John Filsell said a<br />
new supplier was being trialled<br />
and options were being explored<br />
to reduce costs.<br />
“Meetings are at Lyttelton,<br />
Little River and Akaroa; this<br />
requires elected members and<br />
others to travel some distance to<br />
and from the meeting, extending<br />
the overall time commitment. At<br />
some venues and at some times,<br />
such as Little River, there may<br />
not be the opportunity for elected<br />
members and others to purchase<br />
refreshments close by,” he said.<br />
Banks Peninsula board<br />
members may have the highest<br />
catering budget, but they have<br />
the lowest annual salary. Banks<br />
Peninsula board members are<br />
paid $9864 and the chair $19,729,<br />
UNSAVOURY COSTS: The Banks Peninsula Community Board<br />
now has the highest catering budget, setting aside an estimated<br />
$228 a meeting.<br />
whereas city board members<br />
are paid up to $24,580 and their<br />
chairs up to $49,160.<br />
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton,<br />
has cut back its catering budget<br />
again after coming under fire<br />
mid-way through last term. It has<br />
reduced its budget from $78 to<br />
about $68 a meeting, it previously<br />
sat at $174.<br />
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />
will not have any catering<br />
after a decision was made last<br />
term to remove it.<br />
Coastal-Burwood will also go<br />
without any catering this term<br />
following “modest catering” last<br />
term.<br />
However, Mr Filsell said these<br />
board members would still have<br />
access to a kitchenette facility<br />
where they could make their own<br />
tea and coffee which would have<br />
no impact on the catering budget.<br />
He said options were being<br />
explored to reduce the Spreydon-<br />
Cashmere catering budget of<br />
$130 to around $90 a meeting.<br />
Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />
has shaved about $25 off its<br />
catering budget by purchasing<br />
items directly from the<br />
supermarket as opposed to a<br />
catering supplier, bringing the<br />
budget to an estimated $75 a<br />
meeting.<br />
Papanui-Innes will spend<br />
a maximum of $50 a meeting<br />
following a decision to reduce costs<br />
last term.<br />

Hosing ban<br />
for Akaroa,<br />
Duvauchelle<br />
and Takamatua<br />
A TOTAL hosing ban is now in<br />
place for Akaroa, Duvauchelle<br />
and Takamatua as very dry<br />
conditions put pressure on water<br />
supplies.<br />
The level four water restriction<br />
means people cannot use water<br />
outside their homes.<br />
The use of hand-held hoses,<br />
unattended hoses, sprinklers, and<br />
garden irrigation systems is not<br />
allowed and water to fill pools or<br />
paddling pools is also prohibited.<br />
City council head of Three Waters<br />
and Waste Helen Beaumont<br />
said a rapid drop in the streams<br />
that supply water to parts of<br />
Banks Peninsula has prompted<br />
the highest level of restrictions.<br />
“The streams that supply drinking<br />
water to Akaroa, Duvauchelle<br />
and Takamatua have dropped<br />
very suddenly following the recent<br />

Razor Robertson giving Sumner<br />
grass roots rugby an edge<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
HE MAY have started his bid for<br />
a fourth straight Super Rugby<br />
title with the Crusaders, but<br />
coach Scott Robertson still has<br />
time for something at the grass<br />
roots which makes him tick.<br />
Robertson might be one of the<br />
biggest names in World Rugby,<br />
but outside of the day-to-day<br />
running of the Crusaders it’s the<br />
progression of his local Sumner<br />
colts side playing on the back of<br />
his mind.<br />
This comes to fruition on<br />
Tuesday and Thursday evenings<br />
when Robertson finishes his day<br />
with the Crusaders at Rugby<br />
Park and heads to colts training<br />
to help the Sumner teenagers as<br />
what he describes as a technical<br />
adviser role for the team.<br />
“I’m just giving back,” said<br />
Robertson.<br />
In the past Sumner have<br />
tried, but failed to establish and<br />
maintain a colts side – which is<br />
crucial for the development of<br />
players out of secondary school<br />
before moving to premier grade.<br />
Robertson had the same pathway<br />
to achieve his dreams as a<br />
teen at the Mt Maunganui club<br />
before moving south. He now<br />
hopes Sumner will be able to<br />
offer the same opportunity for its<br />
local players.<br />
“That’s what I would like, the<br />
opportunity for one of the local<br />
boys from Sumner to have what<br />
I had and be given a pathway to<br />
achieve what they can and play<br />
for Canterbury, Crusaders and<br />
the All Blacks.”<br />
Robertson – a life member at<br />
Sumner – says the emergence of<br />
the Storm colts team this year is<br />
a massive step for the club.<br />
“Colts grade is tough. We<br />
know the participation rates in<br />
rugby is an area that needs attention<br />
and it’s a real challenge<br />
for us.<br />
“Being involved is just what<br />
anyone would do for their club,<br />
just to keep to connected with<br />
the young players because we<br />
know how important they are for<br />
our game,” said Robertson.<br />
It’s easy to see that Sumner has<br />
a special place in Robertson’s<br />
TALENT: Ollie Lewis will steer the Sumner Storm backline after<br />
a standout season at Christchurch Boys’ High School in 2019.<br />
heart. He has lived in the seaside<br />
community for 20 years and<br />
began his coaching career with<br />
the club. He was a player coach<br />
for the club’s top side and after<br />
undefeated division 2 campaigns<br />
in 2008 and 2009 they gained<br />
promotion to the premier<br />
competition for the first time<br />
in 2010. He coached the side to<br />
a debut 6th-place finish, before<br />
concentrating on his role with<br />
Canterbury at the time.<br />
His passion for the colts team<br />
has already rubbed off on some<br />
of its players. First-five Ollie<br />
Lewis played his junior rugby<br />
at Sumner and now after five<br />
years at Christchurch Boys’<br />
High School – which included<br />
playing for New Zealand Schools<br />
last year – is returning to his<br />
boyhood club with the Storm.<br />
“We just had a little gettogether<br />
the other week and he<br />
was really passionate. I think all<br />
the boys thought, hang on this is<br />
something else. It’s pretty cool to<br />
have him come along and show<br />
how much passion he has for the<br />
CLUB MAN:<br />
Robertson has<br />
been helping<br />
coach the<br />
Sumner colts<br />
side on Tuesday<br />
and Thursday<br />
evenings. In<br />
recent years<br />
he has built a<br />
reputation as one<br />
of the globe’s top<br />
rugby coaches<br />
after winning<br />
three straight<br />
Super Rugby<br />
titles with the<br />
Crusaders.<br />
club,” said Lewis.<br />
“I don’t think too many clubs<br />
have a Super Rugby coach<br />
coming down to training.”<br />
The 18-year-old was part of<br />
a very strong junior side also<br />
called the Storm several years<br />
ago.<br />
Lewis says the side spent four<br />
years together and could count<br />
the amount of losses they had<br />
on one hand. The boys then<br />
departed for secondary school<br />
and many eventually played first<br />
XV rugby.<br />
However, five years ago<br />
somewhat of a pact was made to<br />
regroup in <strong>2020</strong> and get a colts<br />
team running.<br />
“We always wanted to come<br />
back and play for Sumner,” said<br />
Lewis.<br />
The side is coached by Gareth<br />
D’Almeida who was a player<br />
under Robertson’s reign with the<br />
club’s premier side.<br />
“It’s been a long time in the<br />
making,” said D’Almeida.<br />
“There’s a good core group of<br />
them that played junior rugby<br />
together for Sumner. They would<br />
have been eight or nine. They’ve<br />
had Storm <strong>2020</strong> gear for the last<br />
three years. That’s always been to<br />
finish school and aim for <strong>2020</strong>.<br />
“If you don’t have colts, you<br />
don’t have a pathway. They go<br />
to first XV, but where do they<br />
go from there. If you’re a sharp<br />
half-back or first-five you might<br />
go straight to div one, but ideally<br />
they want to play premier colts<br />
for a year and go from there.”<br />
D’Almeida says that Robertson<br />
has played a key role in establishing<br />
the colts side and believes his<br />
presence at training is a massive<br />
boost for the players.<br />
“Razor’s been involved with<br />
that right through the years as<br />
well. He’s certainly there to help<br />
. . . he’s just keen to see it get off<br />
the ground,” said D’Almeida.<br />
“If you’re a budding young<br />
rugby player and you’ve got the<br />
Crusaders head coach cruising<br />
around, it’s absolutely a big<br />
drawcard and equally he could<br />
have been the All Blacks coach.”<br />
Robertson says his involvement<br />
with Sumner is just one<br />
aspect to his values of wanting<br />
to give back to grass roots rugby<br />
which he fondly remembers<br />
growing up. He also expressed<br />
he has and open door policy for<br />
coaches from club rugby to come<br />
into the Crusaders and up-skill.<br />
“Grass roots rugby is the lifeblood<br />
of communities and the<br />
spirit of our nation, so everyone’s<br />
got their little part to play,” said<br />
Robertson.<br />
“I think it’s key that everyone<br />
has a role in their club. I just see<br />
the role in my club as connecting<br />
people and to get people to<br />
continue their love for rugby.”<br />

Tram shelter repairs<br />
complete after delays<br />
• By Jess Gibson<br />
THE WAIT is finally over<br />
for Redcliffs residents<br />
wanting to see the Moncks<br />

structure has reopened.<br />
Members had been<br />
frustrated over the length<br />

repairs.<br />
“I’m pleased to hear that<br />
it’s done and that the obstructions<br />

end of September, however,<br />
the city council delayed<br />
pushed out the completion<br />
date until the end of<br />

It was because further<br />

Cycle ride fundraiser ends in Bluff<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
WILLIAM HICKFORD,<br />
of Lyttelton, has pedalled<br />
the length of New Zealand<br />
to raise $8560 for people<br />
with dementia and<br />
Alzheimer’s disease.<br />
William, 17, cycled about<br />
3000km from Cape Reinga<br />
to Bluff between December<br />
28 and January 17, with<br />
Holly Ffowcs Williams joining<br />
him on the South Island<br />
leg of the ride and finishing<br />
one day later.<br />
William was inspired to<br />
complete the ride to help<br />
people like his grandfather<br />
Roy Pemberton, who has<br />
dementia and also cycled<br />
the length of New Zealand<br />
for charity about seven<br />
years ago.<br />
William and his bike got<br />
through the ride without<br />
issue.<br />
“Bike-wise, absolutely<br />
nothing went wrong and<br />
then pretty much the same<br />
with my body, I had no<br />
problems the whole way<br />
down,” he said.<br />
The highlight of William’s<br />
journey was riding<br />
over the Haast Pass but<br />
there was no better feeling<br />
for him than finishing.<br />
“I was just so relieved not<br />
having to wake up the next<br />
day and get on my bike.”<br />
William said his family<br />
are “all super proud” of him<br />
for what he has achieved<br />
FINISH LINE: William Hickford and Holly Ffowcs<br />
Williams at the finish line in Bluff. <br />
and his grandfather is “just<br />
a bit jealous that he wasn’t<br />
allowed to come with me.”<br />
Holly, who also went<br />
to Cashmere, said the<br />
South Island leg took a<br />
physical and mental toll.<br />
She stopped for physio on<br />
her knees in Wanaka but<br />
powered through to finish<br />
the ride.<br />
She said crossing the finish<br />
line was a great feeling<br />
but the reality has not sunk<br />
in yet.<br />
“The scenery for the last<br />
two days was very boring, I<br />
would never do it again.”<br />
William and Holly’s<br />
next goal is to reach their<br />
$10,000 fundraising target.<br />

Pony ride could stretch finances<br />
SO, MY financial future may be<br />
in dire straits. But boy, I’m so<br />
proud of Vittoria.<br />
Continuing the fun of birthday<br />
season we had another second<br />
birthday, this time in rural North<br />
Canterbury.<br />
Being that it was farmyardthemed<br />
there were a few animals<br />
in attendance – rabbits, guinea<br />
pigs and a few hot cows hiding in<br />
some shade in a back paddock.<br />
However, the grand flourish was<br />
a pair of ponies available for rides.<br />
Vittoria had only seen ponies<br />
at Willowbank previously but<br />
didn’t seem too put out by them<br />
or even excited when we arrived.<br />
Her first reaction was to run right<br />
past them to go down a slide a<br />
few times.<br />
Other kids were happily taking<br />
short rides on either one of the<br />
ponies, which got Laura and I<br />
curious as to whether Vittoria<br />
would be willing to do the same.<br />
She did not take a huge amount<br />
of convincing, I asked her once<br />
and she happily followed me<br />
over to a waiting steed and let me<br />
lift her onto the saddle without<br />
complaint.<br />
I was worried she would fall<br />
off as soon as I let go, so hovered<br />
about a bit while the woman organising<br />
the rides got her sorted<br />
– including putting her helmet<br />
on, which surprisingly elicited not<br />
even a squeak out of her.<br />
GIDDY-UP: The moment my<br />
financial future fell into a state<br />
of jeopardy.<br />
With my worries still lurking<br />
about, I tried to keep a reassuring<br />
hand on Vittoria’s back (ready<br />
to grab her should she make<br />
an insane dive from the pony).<br />
But it became apparent pretty<br />
quickly that she was in no need of<br />
Daddy’s help.<br />
She sat in the saddle perfectly,<br />
confidently. Her expression calm,<br />
back straight, her body moving<br />
slightly to allow for the movement<br />
of her mount.<br />
Within about 5m of her ride, I<br />
VITTORIA<br />
& Matt<br />
stood back in amazement.<br />
As far as my talent goes on<br />
horseback, I’ve only got fleeting<br />
memories of some lessons I took<br />
inland of Waikuku.<br />
My great-grandmother Mary<br />
Matches was known in her<br />
younger days as a rather skilled<br />
horse-breaker and talented rider,<br />
so I’m guessing her skills have<br />
jumped a few generations.<br />
Unfortunately, in another<br />
unlike-my-great-grandmother<br />
moment, I neither live on a farm<br />
nor own a horse. So if a passion<br />
for equestrian pursuits has been<br />
awakened in Vittoria, I’m looking<br />
at a long future of forking out<br />
for pony clubs, lessons and, God<br />
forbid, a ruddy horse.<br />
Expensive as that all may be,<br />
if it would give her as much<br />
happiness as that pony ride<br />
did on Saturday and she’s truly<br />
passionate, I’ll make it happen.<br />

BIRDS OF THE ESTUARY<br />
Waterfowl not to be<br />
mistaken for a duck<br />
Tanya Jenkins is the manager of the Avon-Heathcote<br />
Estuary Ihutai Trust, a non-profit organisation<br />
formed in 2002 to protect one of New Zealand’s<br />
most important coastal wetlands. Each week she<br />
introduces a new bird found in the estuary. Her<br />
column aims to raise the understanding of the<br />
values and uniqueness of the area.<br />
ONE OF several resident waterfowl<br />
species in our estuary is the<br />
New Zealand native shoveler or<br />
kuruwhengi.<br />
It is easily mistaken for the<br />
Mallard duck but if you look<br />
carefully you will notice that<br />
the shoveler has an enormously<br />
large bill which is very handy<br />
when sieving water and mud for<br />
insects, plankton and small fish.<br />
There have been as many as<br />
2000 counted in and around our<br />
estuary and all this time you may<br />
have thought they were all just<br />
common mallard ducks.<br />
It is a tough job for the female<br />
laying a many as 10 eggs which<br />
she will incubate on her own and<br />
then bring up the youngsters all<br />
by herself.<br />
Not likely we will see mum<br />
and her brood in our estuary, as<br />
she prefers to keep them hidden<br />
during the day and instead feed<br />

to seven years – not very old for a<br />
bird species.<br />

thrive? Keep dogs on the lead<br />

are nesting, feeding or resting.<br />

lively community hub supporting many activities such as<br />
fitness groups, community meetings, card group, band<br />
practice, information groups and is now the home of the<br />
Redcliffs Mt Pleasant RSA.<br />

Few tickets left for concert<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
SELWYN SOUNDS looks set to<br />
sell out.<br />
The March 7 festival will see<br />
acts including Icehouse, 10cc,<br />
Zed and Jed Parsons grace the<br />
stage at Lincoln Domain.<br />
Event director David Parlane<br />
said he expects a capacity crowd<br />
of 10,000 people will be enjoying<br />
the music, food trucks and<br />
stocked bar on the day.<br />
Said Mr Parlane:<br />
“We’re into our last<br />
lot of tickets at the<br />
moment. For sure, this<br />
will be a sell-out before<br />
the event, I’m positive<br />
of that.<br />
“This certainly will<br />
be the summer concert<br />
of <strong>2020</strong> for Canterbury.”<br />
He is looking forward<br />
to seeing a high calibre of<br />
acts on the day.<br />
“To be honest, I’m looking<br />
forward to seeing them all. I have<br />
a real fondness for Icehouse, I’ve<br />
seen them three or four times<br />
live and they just are an outstanding<br />
unit, very professional<br />
and their stage show is pure<br />
quality from everything that<br />
they do.<br />
“I’m also looking forward to<br />
Jed Parsons<br />
•Selwyn Sounds tickets<br />
are on sale at https://<br />
selwynsounds.co.nz/<br />
hearing 10cc and Dreadlock Holiday<br />
on the stage. That’s certainly<br />
going to be a highlight to have<br />
that pumping out across the<br />
park.”<br />
Christchurch poprock<br />
band Zed, will<br />
be playing Selwyn<br />
Sounds as part of their<br />
reunion tour after<br />
years about 15 years<br />
apart.<br />
Seeing Ultravox’s<br />
Midge Ure and his hits<br />
including Vienna live<br />
will be another highlight,<br />
said Mr Parlane.<br />
Mr Parlane said<br />
preparation for the event is<br />
almost finished.<br />
“It’s going to be a fun day.<br />
People coming in and getting<br />
together with their group,<br />
sitting around, listening to<br />
great music, having some<br />
really good food, a few drinks,<br />
dancing the afternoon and<br />
evening away.<br />
“It’s just a highlight for a whole<br />
lot of people every year.”<br />

Saving Missy<br />
by Beth Morrey<br />
Ferrymead<br />
Prickly. Stubborn. Terribly lonely.<br />
But everyone deserves a second chance…<br />
A dazzling debut for <strong>2020</strong> – are you ready to meet<br />
Missy Carmichael?<br />
Missy Carmichael’s life has become small.<br />
Grieving for a family she has lost or lost touch with, she’s<br />
haunted by the echoes of her footsteps in her empty home; the sound of the<br />
radio in the dark; the tick-tick-tick of the watching clock.<br />
Spiky and defensive, Missy knows that her loneliness is all her own fault.<br />
She deserves no more than this; not after what she’s done. But a chance<br />
encounter in the park with two very different women opens the door to<br />
something new.<br />
Another life beckons for Missy, if only she can be brave enough to grasp the<br />
opportunity. But seventy-nine is too late for a second chance. Isn’t it?<br />
My Dark Vanessa<br />
by Kate Elizabeth Russell<br />
An era-defining novel about the relationship between a fifteen-year-old girl<br />
and her teacher. All he did was fall in love with me and the world turned him<br />
into a monster!<br />
Vanessa Wye was fifteen-years-old when she first had sex with her English<br />
teacher. She is now thirty-two and in the storm of allegations against<br />
powerful men in 2017, the teacher, Jacob Strane, has just been accused of<br />
sexual abuse by another former student.<br />
Vanessa is horrified by this news, because she is quite certain that the<br />
relationship she had with Strane wasn’t abuse. It was love. She’s sure of that.<br />
Forced to rethink her past, to revisit everything that happened, Vanessa has<br />
to redefine the great love story of her life – her great sexual awakening – as<br />
rape. Now she must deal with the possibility that she might be a victim, and<br />
just one of many.<br />
Nuanced, uncomfortable, bold and powerful, My Dark Vanessa goes straight<br />
to the heart of some of the most complex issues our age.<br />

Tasty Bites<br />
Kebabs to make your mouth water<br />
Grilled Chilean Beef Kebabs<br />
with Chimichurri Sauce and<br />
Coriander Rice is an easy,<br />
flavourful any-day meal.<br />
Substitute button mushrooms<br />
for the beef for a vege<br />
alternative. If going low-carb,<br />
use cauliflower rice and if<br />
coriander isn’t your thing then<br />
serve with your favourite<br />
sauce and rice side-dish<br />
Grilled Chilean Beef Kebabs<br />
with Chimichurri Sauce and<br />
Coriander Rice<br />
Makes 8 kebabs<br />
Ingredients<br />
1kg beef – tenderloin, ribeye<br />
or sirloin, cut into 4cm cubes<br />
(or substitute 500g button<br />
mushrooms)<br />
2 Tbsp oil<br />
2 Tbsp lime juice, plus zest of one<br />
lime<br />
2 garlic cloves – finely minced<br />
1 tsp onion powder<br />
1 tsp dried oregano or thyme<br />
1 tsp cumin<br />
1½ tsp salt<br />
½ tsp pepper<br />
Skewer additions: cherry<br />
tomatoes, onion<br />
Chimichurri Sauce<br />
1 bunch coriander<br />
½ cup olive oil<br />
2 Tbsp lime juice<br />
1 jalapeno (use less, or more if<br />
you like)<br />
½ cup chopped onion<br />
1 garlic clove<br />
½ tsp smoked paprika<br />
½ tsp salt<br />
Coriander Rice<br />
2 cups water<br />
1 cup rice, rinsed<br />
pinch salt<br />
¼ cup coriander- chopped<br />
3 spring onions – chopped<br />
1 lime<br />
Garnish: lime wedges<br />
Directions<br />
Soak eight 25cm wooden skewers<br />
in warm water.<br />
Cut the beef into cubes and<br />
place in a zip lock bag or in a<br />
medium bowl.<br />
Mix oil, lime juice and zest,<br />
garlic, spices, salt and pepper in a<br />
small bowl. Pour over the beef and<br />
seal the bag, shaking and mixing<br />
so all the beef is coated. Set aside.<br />
Pre-heat a hotplate, BBQ or your<br />
favourite skillet if it’s large enough.<br />
In a medium pot, add water and<br />
rice, bring to a boil. Cover, simmer<br />
on low heat for 20min.<br />
In the meantime, make the<br />
chimichurri. Place all the ingredients<br />
in a food processor, and<br />
pulse repeatedly (10-15 times)<br />
until the coriander and onion are<br />
all minced well. It need not be<br />
smooth, but more like the consistency<br />
of pesto. Place in a small<br />
bowl. Set aside.<br />
Make the skewers alternating<br />
beef, cherry tomato, onion slice,<br />
then repeat until skewer is full.<br />
3-4 pieces of beef on each skewer.<br />
Grill the skewers over medium<br />
high heat, rotating until meat<br />
is nicely charred and cooked to<br />
desired done-ness.<br />
Place rice in a bowl, squeeze<br />
with lime, and scatter the<br />
coriander and green onions over<br />
the top. Serve immediately.
