Preparation key to marathon success 

FLEET-FOOTED: Sumner Running Club member Lisa Brignull won the 45-54 age category and was second overall female at 

the Buller Gorge Marathon on Saturday. 

• By Jess Gibson 

AS SHE gets older, Lisa Brignull 

believes she is becoming wiser 

with her race preparation. 

This may be the reason 

why the Sumner Running 

Club member clocked her 

personal best at the Buller 

Gorge Marathon by 30sec on 

Saturday. 

The full marathon started 

at Hawks Crag, while the half 

marathon started near the 

Ohikati River. Both events 

finished at Victoria Square, 

Westport. 

It was Brignull’s 10th time 

competing in the full course 

and she finished first in the 

45-54 age bracket with a 

time of 3hr 4min 52sec. 

She was second overall in 

the women’s field behind her 

friend, Hannah Oldroyd, of 

England, who won the entire 

event.

relationship 

with port 

police aim of 

community 

board 


COMMUNITY board members 

in Banks Peninsula want to build 

a stronger relationship with 

Lyttelton police. 

It is to help mitigate residents’ 

ongoing concerns over crime 

taking place in and around the 

harbour by 

advocating for 

the community 

to police. 

Said chairwoman 

Tori 

Peden: “We 

want to be proactive 

and help Tori Peden 

the community 

as best we can. 

We’d like the police to help us 

through that and we’d like to 

support the police in what they’re 

doing.” 

She said the community 

board has a good relationship 

with Akaroa police and wants 

to establish the same in Lyttelton.

from the editor’s desk 

LISA BRIGNULL has notched up another 

milestone, winning the Buller Gorge 

Marathon’s 45-54 age group section, 

taking 30sec off her previous best time (see 

page 1). 

It was Lisa’s 10th Buller marathon, so 

no doubt taking half a minute off her previous best was very 

satisfying. 

Said Lisa: “On the day I break the race up into pieces. The first 

16km I run with my head, the next 16km I run based on my 

training, and the last 10km I run with my heart.” 

Other Sumner club members Danny Carmine, Martin Lukes 

and Rosie Hay also did well in their respective events. 

Also, today more revelations about crime concerns in 

Lyttelton (see page 1). It has been an ongoing issue with 

residents for some time.

Major safety concerns 

on busy Akaroa road 


AKAROA RESIDENT Bryan 

Tichborne is concerned it could 

take a pedestrian getting hit by a 

vehicle before something is done 

about an unsafe and heavily 

congested road. 

On busy days, most of Rue 

Balguerie becomes 

a single 

lane when 

bigger vehicles 

such as trucks, 

boats, buses 

and trailers 

Nigel Harrison 

park on both 

sides of the 

road. 

There are also issues with 

vehicles speeding along the road 

in the mornings and at night, 

some by up to 30km/h above the 

current 50km/h limit. 

Mr Tichborne lives on Rue 

Balguerie and is one of many 

residents who have wanted 

safety improvements to be made 

for several years. 

“At the moment if you’re at the 

bottom of the road driving up 

and you see someone coming, 

DANGEROUS: Rue Balguerie in Akaroa is reduced to a narrow 

single lane when vehicles are parked on both sides. 

quite often you have to pull in 

100 to 200m from where that 

car is to let them though,’’ he 

said. 

“When you’re walking down 

the road and you have to cross it 

you’ve got to be really careful.” 

He formed a petition about 

two years ago which was presented 

to city council staff. He 

said “nothing was done.” 

“I tried again a couple more 

times but to be honest, I gave up. 

In my last email I said it’s going 

to take a nasty accident for 

something to be done.” 

He said people in the community 

share the same concern. 

Mr Tichborne believes reducing 

the speed limit to 30km/h, 

reducing parking to one side of 

the road and heightened policing 

may alleviate the issues. 

He said the issue was bought 

up again recently and he has 

spoken with Banks Peninsula 

Community Board member 

Nigel Harrison and resident 

Charl Chaney to try and get 

something done. 

Mr Harrison said there needs 

to be “serious planning” about 

how to stop the problems. 

“It’s creating quite a bit of 

anguish to people that are living 

on the street.” 

The community board has 

asked city council staff to look 

into the issue and provide feedback 

to members on what can 

be done. 

City council team leader of 

traffic operations Stephen Wright 

said staff are familiar with the 

site and “will visit to undertake 

further observations and measurements 

in the near future.” 

He said these will focus on 

parking demand, road widths 

and availability of potential 

parking locations. 

•Parking restrictions, page 4 

In Brief 

WALKING TRACK 

A hazard assessment will be 

carried out on a Sumner walking 

track to see if it can be repoened 

to the public. The Edwin Mouldey 

track, which provides a path from 

Nayland St to Scarborough Rd, 

was closed due to earthquake 

damage in 2011. City council staff 

will provide information and 

advice from the assessment back 

to the Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board. 

WATER RESTRICTIONS STAY 

No adjustments have been made 

to a total hosing ban in parts of 

Banks Peninsula. The city council 

introduced level four water 

restrictions in Akaroa, Duvauchelle 

and Takamatua on February 3.

Call to improve communication 

• From page 1 

“What we’re asking police is 

can we have a better relationship 

on an ongoing basis, perhaps 

touching base from time to 

time so we can build up that 

relationship.” 

Lyttelton Community 

Association chairman Ken 

Maynard said it will be good for 

the community board and police 

to improve communication. 

“Anything that will improve 

[crime] is a good thing.” 

City council head of 

community support, governance 

and partnerships John Filsell 

said police have been asked to 

attend a board briefing and have 

indicated they can attend one on 

May 4. 

After that, the community 

board would like police to 

update members on a sixmonthly 

basis.

safer is a fantastic idea.” 

He said six-monthly meetings 

were sufficient for now, but 

police would judge that over 

time. 

The community board also 

requested that staff provide 

information on the potential 

installation of crime prevention 

cameras in Lyttelton. 

Said Ms Peden: “It’s just one of 

the things that we need to look 

into.” 

Car parking to be removed near boat ramp 


VEHICLES WILL no longer be 

able to park along a stretch of 

road near a busy boating spot in 

Takamatua. 

The Banks Peninsula Community 

Board approved a no stopping 

restriction on both sides of 

Quail Cres, between Kingfisher 

Rd and McReas Rd, at its meeting 

on Monday. 

The city council advised 

members to pass the decision 

following concerns from the 

Takamatua Ratepayers Association 

that parked vehicles were 

obstructing traffic. 

A staff report said the move 

will ease congestion on what is 

a narrow and steep residential 

road. 

It will also prevent vehicles 

from parking on the road shoulder 

of Quail Cres, uphill of the 

Takamatua boat ramp, which is 

affecting vehicle access. 

There are some concerns from 

staff that the restrictions will 

cause parked vehicles to be displaced 

onto other nearby sections 

of road with an unknown effect. 

However, there is a typically 

low parking demand most days 

and there is other public parking 

available. 

Signs and markings, including 

yellow lines, are set to be 

implemented within the next 

four weeks. 

Water 

restrictions 

are in place 

Level 4 water restrictions are now in place 

for Akaroa, Duvauchelle and Takamatua. 

This means no outdoor water use. 

We’ve made this decision as local streams 

are very low and we’re expecting hot, dry 

weather to continue. For more information, 

check the Akaroa sign, call 0800 800 169

Part closing Summit Rd 

at night a possibility 

• By Louis Day 

PARTS OF Summit Rd could 

be closed at night following the 

tragic death of two sisters on the 

road last year. 

Seventeenyear-old 

Tayla 

Alexander died 

in the crash in 

November. Her 

sister Sunmara 

died on her 

16th birthday 

in hospital after 

suffering critical 

injuries and 

extensive burns 

from the crash. 

Mike 

Davidson 

Their father, Jason Alexander, 

delivered a petition to the city 

council asking it to make the 

road safer last month. 

City councillor and chairman 

of the urban development and 

transport committee Mike 

Davidson said that closing parts 

of the road at night could be a 

possibility. 

“Closing the area between 

Dyers Pass Rd and the no exit 

by Rapaki Track where the crash 

happened could be an option. 

But I personally think we need 

to look at the whole of Summit

Rd because the stretch has parts, 

which if driven at speed can be 

dangerous.” 

Cr Davidson said any changes 

to Summit Rd would require 

public consultation. 

“We have not made any 

decisions to go into consultation 

to close it but it needs to be part 

of discussions.” 

The city council consulted 

on the Summit Rd speed limit 

last year and decided to reduce 

the limit from Godley Head to 

Gebbies Pass Rd from 100km/h 

and 70km/h to 60km/h. It 

decided against imposing any 

restrictions to access.

Rare book set 

gifted to Lyttelton 

A RARE book set celebrating 

the history of Canterbury will be 

returned to its home in Lyttelton. 

The John Robert Godley Memorial 

Trust published ‘Godley 

Gifts’ in a limited edition of only 

100 copies, each signed by former 

prime minister Helen Clark. 

Each hand-numbered and 

hand-dedicated set contains 

three volumes, including a 

number of essays, watercolours 

and an exact replica copy of New 

Zealand’s first illustrated children’s 

book, called Seadrift. 

The artists of Godley Gifts 

were early entrepreneur James 

Edward FitzGerald and the 

contemporary actor and writer 

David McPhail. 

Canterbury’s founder John 

Robert Godley and his family 

were waiting in Lyttelton on the 

morning of December 16, 1850 

when the first immigrant ship arrived 

from England. 

The first person ashore was Mr 

FitzGerald, who fell into Godley’s 

arms – the emotion of the moment 

was said to be overwhelming 

to both. 

Because of this, Mr FitzGerald 

wrote and illustrated two of 

Godley Gifts three volumes, 

gifting one to Mr Godley, and 

GIFTED: Brent Rawstron, 

Dorothee Jansen and Haydn 

Rawstron (the John Robert 

Godley Memorial Trustees) with 

‘Godley Gifts’ no.50 

the other to Godley’s little son 

Arthur. 

Mr McPhail has written the 

third volume of the set, a collection 

of brilliantly observed 

anecdotal essays. 

The trust is gifting book set 

number 50 to the Lyttelton community 

at 3pm on Sunday. 

The public event will be held 

in the St Saviour’s Chapel at Holy 

Trinity Church, 17 Winchester St. 

It will be attended by Deputy 

Mayor and Banks Peninsula 

councillor Andrew Turner and 

Port Hills MP Ruth Dyson.

chance romance 


SHE WAS from Sumner, 

he was from North 

Canterbury. 

They had just met and 

got talking at the central 

bus interchange on Lichfield 

St about 1.30am last 

Sunday while waiting to 

catch separate 

trips home 

after a night in 

town. 

But as they 

were getting 

to know each 

other, it was 

time to part 

ways. 

Following a bout of 

Roe van 

der Merwe 

regret over not getting the 

man’s phone number, the 

woman turned to her bus 

driver for help when she 

got off the bus. 

That bus driver was Roe 

van der Merwe, who is also 

the co-ordinator for the 

new ‘Midnight Express’ 

Sumner service which 

started on January 26. 

He now remembers 

nothing about his passenger, 

except that she was 23 

years old, blonde, and lives 

in Sumner. 

“When she got off in

THINGS HAVE been 

running smoothly for a 

new bus service which 

takes party goers from the 

city to Sumner. 

Bentley Transport or 

Christchurch Shuttles and 

Tours started a six-month 

trial running the “Midnight 

Express” Sumner 

service on January 26. 

It departs from the 

Christchurch Bus Interchange 

on Lichfield St and 

follows the same route 

as Metro’s Purple Line at 

INVESTED: Two matchmaking bus drivers want to 

know if anything eventuated from two strangers 

meeting at the central bus interchange. 

were exchanged. 

“According to the Rangiora 

bus driver, the guy was 

“quite chuffed” when he 

found out she wanted his 

number.” 

Now, two “emotionally 

invested” bus drivers want 

to know if their matchmaking 

skills have paid off. 

Mr van der Merwe told 

the woman to get in contact 

with Bentley Transport 

or Christchurch Shuttles 

and Tours, which run the 

1.15, 2.15 and 3.15 am on 

Sundays. 

Redcliffs resident Topsy 

Rule had initial concerns 

about the service, as she 

experienced issues with a 

similar service which was 

operating before the February 

22, 2011, earthquake. 

Passengers would make 

noise and vomit when getting 

off at stops along the 

bus route. 

But she said there have 

been no problems so far 

and she has heard no negative 

feedback from other 

Midnight Express lines, to 

let someone know if anything 

came of the brief but 

memorable encounter. 

“We are still waiting to 

hear from them to see if 

they’ve gone on their first 

date yet.” 

• If you were one of 

the two involved in 

the Midnight Express 

romance, or if you think 

you know who it may 

have been, email jess.

No issues with Midnight

residents in Sumner and 

Redcliffs when she has been 

out in the community. 

Sumner service co-ordinator 

Roe van der Merwe 

said no complaints have 

been received since the trial 

began. 

He said there is an aim 

for the service to be “as 

courteous as possible.” 

Mr van der Merwe said 

at the moment, passenger 

numbers are on the lower 

side but the company is 

working to increase its 

profile.

Kris Tynan responds to 

last week’s article about 

bins overflowing at Taylors 

Mistake Beach 

First of all, big thanks to the 

Taylors Mistake lifeguards who 

pick up stray bits of rubbish 

from their beautiful beach. Great 

to hear that happens. 

I am frequently at the beach 

in the mornings either before or 

after the council workers collect 

the rubbish. 

Invariably, after a very warm 

day there will be too much rubbish 

for the bins available and it 

has almost always been placed 

next to the bins. 

Bigger bins are clearly required 

but it seems like the Bigbelly 

Bins are on their way to solve 

this problem. It is true that after 

a windy day lighter rubbish will 

have blown around a bit but that 

is understandable, and again the 

Big Bellies should solve that. 

In my opinion and experience 

90 per cent of visitors to Taylors 

Mistake are responsible with 

their rubbish and I would like 

to comment that your headlines 

‘Taylors Mistake being treated 

as a rubbish tip’ and ‘Taylors 

Mistake a dumping ground’ 

are both inaccurate and over 

dramatic. 

Then again they achieved their 

purpose of getting attention and 

inspiring comment … so I guess 

as media that’s your job. 

Grateful for the beautiful 

place we have the privilege to 

inhabit. 

Readers respond to 

last week’s article about 

the completion of repairs 

to the Moncks Bay tram 

shelter after several 

months of delays 

Gordon Macadam – We 

have a problem with the time 

taken for city contractors. While 

[it was] understandable immediately 

after the quakes, it is no 

longer acceptable for projects to 

take so long. 

The conditions of city issued 

contracts should be publicly 

available. The financial stuff 

can remain confidential but 

only contractors that have the 

resources to promptly attend to 

contracts should get to tender. 

Contract conditions should 

include: 

• Once started council contracts 

are to be worked every 

business day. 

• The management team of 

a job should have their name 

available to the ratepayers. 

• The reason for any delay in 

progress should be posted on the 

job for passers by to see. 

• Traffic management that disrupts 

traffic should be in place 

only when work is in progress or 

the hazard is in existence. 

• All traffic management systems 

that disrupt traffic should 

display the name and phone 

number of the person responsible 

for that system. 

We have tolerated for too long 

a system where contractors can 

juggle multiple contracts with 

a minimum of labour and poor 

project management which can 

be covered up by shifting the 

team else where when a planning 

oversight is exposed. 

Liz Barrie – There were three 

men working on this project 

when ever I went past, so why 

did it take so long? I wonder how 

much it cost. 

Linen and leather 

at Stoddart Cottage 

LINEN GARMENTS and leather 

accessories handcrafted by 

Lithuanian-born Elena Chomic 

will be on display at Diamond 

Harbour’s Stoddart Cottage 

Gallery this month. 

In this solo exhibition, Chomic, 

of Diamond Harbour continues 

her birth-country traditions with 

original design and contemporary 

style. 

Linen, leather, 

wood and 

wool are common 

materials 

for folk art and 

craft in Lithuania 

and there 

Elena Chomic 

is a long and 

strong tradition 

of using locally 

produced linen textiles for clothing 

and household furnishing. 

Colours from nature such as 

warmly glowing amber, ochre 

clay, forest greens and sea blues 

are preferred for daily life, even 

the brighter blue of linen flax 

flowers. 

Chomic was born and raised 

near the Baltic Sea and at school 

she was taught how to work 

with linen textiles, to weave and 

embroider, and to make objects 

from leather and wood. 

She has continued to work with 

TRADITIONAL: Lithuanianborn 

Elena Chomic’s 

handcrafted garments will be 

available to view this month 

in a new solo exhibition at 

Stoddart Cottage Gallery. 

these materials throughout her 

life. 

“It’s been six years since I arrived 

in New Zealand and today 

it sometimes seems to me that I 

was born here,” Chomic said. 

Stoddart Cottage is open to the 

public every Friday, Saturday and 

Sunday from 10am until 4pm.

Handling screaming in public 

PRIOR TO last week, I’d 

managed to contain the majority 

of Vittoria’s toddler tantrums to 

within the realm of my house 

or the house of a relative (or an 

aeroplane when she was four 

months old, but that was a long 

time ago). 

Now, I know the feeling of 

having complete strangers look at 

you in horror, because they likely 

believe you are either kidnapping 

a toddler, or murdering it. 

Vittoria’s Nan overnighted at 

our place last week to both make 

it easier to get to her work shifts 

and to allow me to go to dragon 

boat training by looking after 

Vittoria. 

In an effort to repay my mum’s 

help I offered to play driver on 

some errands for her. 

To my eternal gratitude, my 

mum’s a keen bargain hunter, 

so while we were on the errands 

in Hornby we, of course, had 

to stop in to check for some at 

Dress-Smart. 

I’d not taken Vittoria to a mall 

since she’s been at full toddler 

stage, so I was a little apprehensive. 

Her behaviour put me in a 

false sense of security though. 

She was happy to hold my hand 

while walking or just play around 

the little rides you find in malls. 

Particularly a Spot ride, that 

yellow dog is a clear favourite 

book character currently. 

So following her around as she 

FAVOURITE: A quiet moment 

with Spot before things went 

downhill. 

explored while Mum looked for 

what she needed seemed a good 

plan – until Vittoria saw the ice 

cream shop. 

Oh Lord, why do they always 

put pictures of strawberries at 

toddler height on those things? 

As soon as she saw it she made 

a beeline through the legs of 

the good folks waiting on their 

chilled treat to point at a picture 

of strawberries and ice cream 

and proudly say “storbies” with a 

huge grin on her face. 

It was then that I made the fatal 

error of saying “no love, we’re 

not having ice cream.” 

My face must have been as red 

as those damn strawberries as 

VITTORIA 

& Matt 

I plucked the screaming ball of 

rage that had replaced my daughter 

from the front of the shop. 

I dared not look at the faces of 

the other adults, but in my mind 

they were very disapproving. 

She was top of the lungs going 

for it. Writhing, kicking, throwing 

her shoes around and trying 

to just leave with strangers on 

the lift. I fully doubt they wanted 

to share the lift with her though, 

they looked just as put off as 

everyone else. I think, eye contact 

was not something I was keen on. 

So after what felt like an hour 

of this, I get a phone call from 

mum saying she was done and 

wanted to meet up. To get ice 

cream. 

Grandparents eh? So after all 

that, Vittoria got her strawberry 

ice cream and I got a lesson in 

how much perceived looks of 

disapproval can make you sweat. 

I also got ice cream, which took 

the edge off a little.

BIRDS OF THE ESTUARY 

Tanya Jenkins is the manager of the Avon-Heathcote 

Estuary Ihutai Trust, a non-profit organisation 

formed in 2002 to protect one of New Zealand’s 

most important coastal wetlands. Each week she 

introduces a new bird found in the estuary. Her 

column aims to raise the understanding of the 

values and uniqueness of the area. 

Masterful fish hunters 

THE LITTLE Cormorant/Kawau 

paka is one of several cormorant 

species found around the estuary 

and lower reaches of our rivers. 

Who doesn’t enjoy watching 

these birds sitting along the estuary, 

or perched in trees along river 

banks with their wings spread 

out? But why do they do this? 

Cormorants dive under water to 

catch their prey but unlike non 

diving birds their feathers are not 

as waterproof which allows them 

to dive in the first place. 

It does mean, however, that 

they need to ‘spread their wings 

and tail feathers” to dry out 

Little Cormorant 

(Kawau paka ) 

after each meal, or they would 

lose their body temperature. It’s 

amazing how nature provides for 

all the different needs of different 

birds. The little cormorants 

have been observed eating up to 

30 small eels and fish each day! 

It must be a tough life having 

to fish, then dry out that many 

times a day. 

How can we help the 

Cormorant numbers to thrive? 

Keep dogs on the lead when 

walking along riverbanks and 

the estuary edge. Dogs are a huge 

threat to birds needing to nest, 

rest and feed in peace.
