• By Matt Slaughter 

JASMINE BUTCHER was a 

very special baby. She was born 

15 weeks early, weighing only 

665gm, and just clinging to life. 

Her parents Maree and 

Norm Butcher were told she was 

at high risk of developmental 

delays or disability. 

But the Heathcote resident has 

overcome the odds and now at 

19, has dreams of making it big 

on New York’s Broadway.

Hosing 

ban 

causes 

issues for 

Akaroa 

• By Jess Gibson 

A TOTAL hosing ban in Akaroa 

has been causing issues in the 

community. 

Level four restrictions were 

set for the township, along with 

Duvauchelle and Takamatua, 

at the beginning of February as 

very dry conditions were putting 

pressure on water supplies. 

The ban means people cannot 

use water outside their homes, 

so the use of hand-held hoses, 

unattended hoses, sprinklers, and 

garden irrigation systems is not 

allowed. 

Water to fill pools or paddling 

pools is also prohibited. 

There have been several issues 

since the ban was set for residents, 

business owners and schools, 

which were not given any warning 

beforehand. 

Akaroa Area School has 

had to cancel events, including 

inter-school swimming sports, 

as the pool could not be filled. 

Said principal Brent Ingram: 

“It’s something we don’t want 

to do but of course, we’ve got no 

control over that.

from the editor’s desk 

IF YOU want to see some great surfing, 

New Brighton will be the place to be. 

The annual Duke Festival of Surfing 

starts on Friday and runs through the 

weekend (see page 8). 

It is probably the biggest event on the Canterbury surfing 

calendar. Fingers crossed the weather will play its part and 

provide good, big waves. 

Sumner board riders will be heavily represented in the 

various divisions, from juniors through to over 60s, and the 

longboarders. They should bring a good haul of titles home. No 

surprises there. 

And watch out for Jack Tyro and Amelie Clark and other 

youngsters in the The Point Surf Team, all of whom have great 

futures ahead of them in the sport.

Bid for lookout over harbour 

• By Matt Slaughter 

A $370,000 lookout is being 

proposed for the car park 

opposite the Sign of the Bellbird 

in Kennedys Bush with a view of 

Lyttelton Harbour. 

The Summit Road Society is 

currently consulting the public 

on the proposal to decide on a 

finalised option which it will put 

forward to the city council for 

consideration. 

It has secured more than 

half of the funds needed to 

build the lookout through a 

combination of its own funds 

and a $150,000 grant from the 

city council. 

Options for gaining the 

rest of the funding are being 

investigated, including setting 

up a Givealittle page in the near 

future. 

Said the society’s secretary 

Marie Gray: “What we’re 

proposing is a low stone wall 

which is in the style of Harry 

Ell’s rest houses . . . some 

steps, a lookout platform, 

all complemented by native 

planting and also disability 

access around the side.” 

Harry Ell was a city councillor 

and member of Parliament in 

the early 1900s. He is famous for 

his advocacy for the Summit Rd 

HIKING BOOTS

For men, women 

and children 

From

to $250 

and conservation work around 

the Port Hills. 

His grandson John Jameson 

founded the Summit Road 

Society in 1948 and the lookout 

will be named after Mr Jameson 

if it is approved. 

Mrs Gray said the idea for 

a new lookout has existed for 

“absolutely years,” but the 

society started really pushing 

for it after Mr Jameson’s death 

in 2018. 

“If you stand at the edge of 

that car park, you’re just like, 

wow, it takes your breath away,

it is an absolutely iconic view,” 

she said. 

Mrs Gray said naming the 

lookout The John Jameson

he and Harry Ell did for the area 

around it. 

The society has outlined 

the proposal in its current 

form to the Spreydon- 

Cashmere Community Board 

and consultation with the 

community is ongoing. 

In Brief 

REPAIRS NEARLY FINISHED 

Repairs to the Scarborough 

Clock Tower are on track 

to be finished by next week. 

The completion date for 

restoration work on the historic, 

earthquake-damaged structure 

was set back to late March 

following delays in January 

and again in February after 

contractors found the concrete 

in worse condition than initial 

investigations suggested.

The number of submissions 

received during a consultation 

on 13 place names proposed 

for features and places around

last week the board will consider 

the feedback at a meeting on 

April 2. 

CHOPPER ATTENDS FIRE 

A helicopter helped extinguish 

a scrub fire in Barnett Park, 

Redcliffs, on Friday. Crews 

from Sumner, Woolston and 

the central station were called 

to the blaze on the hillside, 

which was about 200 sq m in 

size, at 5.21pm. Crews left the 

scene about 7.40pm. The fire 

has been deemed suspicious.

END OF SUMMER READS 

NEW RELEASES 

GREAT READS INSTORE 

Here We Are 

by Graham Swift 

The extraordinary new novel from the winner of the Booker Prize in 

1996 for Last Orders 

It is Brighton, 1959, and the theatre at the end of the pier is 

having its best summer season in years. Ronnie, a brilliant young 

magician, and Evie, his dazzling assistant, are top of the bill, 

drawing audiences each night. Meanwhile, Jack – Jack Robinson, 

as in ‘before you can say’ – is everyone’s favourite compère, a born 

entertainer, holding the whole show together. 

As the summer progresses, the off-stage drama between the three 

begins to overshadow their theatrical success, and events unfold 

which will have lasting consequences for all their futures. 

New Feast: Modern Middle Eastern 

Vegetarian 

by Greg and Lucy Malouf 

Delve into beautiful, delicious vegetarian food from the masters of Middle 

Eastern cuisine. The Middle East—from North Africa and Moorish Spain, 

through Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan to the Arabian Peninsula—has 

long had a vibrant tradition of home-style vegetarian cuisine— from their 

abundant fresh salads, dips, and breads to a diverse collection of delicious 

and hearty main meals. Greg and Lucy Malouf’s recipes are designed for 

sharing and enjoying in company. 

Their approach to vegetarian food comes from their love of traditional Middle 

Eastern flavor combinations and the importance of color and texture. The 

recipes are new interpretations of Middle Eastern food, inspired by the spirit of 

generosity and sharing that characterizes the region. 

Caging Skies 

by Christine Leunens 

A gripping, atmospheric novel about obsession and love. 

Inspiring a major film, this gripping novel examines truth and lies, and 

lays bare our darkest impulses. I was sure I heard steps up and down 

the hall in the middle of the night. Johannes is an avid member of the 

Hitler Youth. As the war rages on, he discovers his parents are hiding 

a Jewish girl called Elsa behind a false wall in their large house in 

Vienna. His initial horror turns to love and obsession. 

Both manipulating and manipulated, Johannes soon finds he is 

the only one aware of Elsa’s existence in the house, the only one 

responsible for her survival. 

‘It is a beautiful novel, powerful, different, and ambitious.’ — Le Monde. 

When Time Stopped 

A Memoir of My Father’s War and What remains 

by Ariana Neumann 

In this remarkably moving memoir Ariana Neumann dives into the 

secrets of her father’s past: years spent hiding in plain sight in wartorn 

Berlin, the annihilation of dozens of family members in the Holocaust, 

and the courageous choice to build anew. In 1941, the first Neumann 

family member was taken by the Nazis, arrested in German-occupied 

Czechoslovakia for bathing in a stretch of river forbidden to Jews. 

He was transported to Auschwitz. Eighteen days later his prisoner 

number was entered into the morgue book. Of thirty-four Neumann 

family members, twenty-five were murdered by the Nazis. One of the 

survivors was Hans Neumann, this book is his daughter Ariana’s 

tribute to her father. 

Little Green Kitchen 

Simple vegetarian family recipes 

by david Frenkiel and Luise Vindahl 

Like most families, David and Luise know that the road to feeding your 

children isn’t always a straight one. They have raised three kids while 

writing their acclaimed vegetarian cookbooks and have experienced a 

fair share of food tossed on the floor and soup bowls left untouched. 

But they have also learned ways around this. In this book they share 

their passion for cooking fun, modern, wholesome meals with kids’ 

palates in mind, but that also are interesting enough for adults to 

enjoy. Take your own inspiration from their quest to bring joy back 

to the dinner table: whip up a batch of Dino Burgers (made with 

spinach, quinoa, oats and peas), Spinach Waffles, or Stuffed Rainbow 

Tomatoes with black rice, feta, raisins and cinnamon.

Goal to pursue US career 

•From page 1 

She has just started her second 

year of a music degree at Canterbury 

University. 

In five years, the goal will be 

pursuing a musical career in the 

United States. Broadway is at the 

top of the list. 

“One of my dreams since I 

was little was to move to the 

US and become a singer, 

actress or Broadway star. That 

dream is still very alive today,” 

she said. 

“Whether I do ever make 

it to the US or whether I just 

start off doing some shows for 

more local places like Showbiz 

[Christchurch] or The Court 

Theatre, anything to achieve 

my dreams would be 

amazing.” 

From when Jasmine was threeand-a-half 

months old until 

she was four, she attended the 

Champion Centre at Burwood 

Hospital. The centre provides 

early intervention services for 

children with significant developmental 

delays and disabilities 

up to the age of six. 

Jasmine says it played a significant 

part in getting her ready for 

school. 

“I feel like the centre definitely 

helped me to catch up with my 

peers because like, I was always 

a little bit, well not behind but, 

like, a couple of steps behind 

everybody else. 

“By the time I was at primary 

school I was, like, ahead of everyone 

else,” she said. 

Jasmine’s sessions at the centre 

involved both group and one-onone 

work. 

She struggled with matching 

things such as patterns and pairs 

but was able to use computer 

software that teaches basic skills 

in reading, identifying shapes, 

matching objects and letters, 

counting and using a computer 

mouse. 

Said Jasmine: “If I hadn’t gone 

through all that, I probably 

wouldn’t be where I am today, 

you know. I wouldn’t have been 

able to catch up on things and 

wouldn’t have probably found 

‘If I hadn’t 

gone through 

all that, I 

probably 

wouldn’t be 

where I am 

today.’

school as easy as what I did. I 

probably would have struggled 

more.” 

She took up singing, keyboard 

lessons, started tap and jazz 

dancing and piano lessons after 

primary school. 

Mrs Butcher credits the Champion 

Centre as a big factor in 

Jasmine’s progress. 

“By the time she started primary 

school, she hit the ground 

running and was ahead of other 

kids,” she said. 

About 100 children 

currently attend intensive 

weekly programmes at the 

centre in Burwood, with a 

further 89 children attending 

less frequently as part of a 

monitoring service for children 

born prematurely. 

No lifting of water

“The biggest thing is frustration 

for parents who want to support 

their kids.” 

Banks Peninsula Community 

Board member Jamie Stewart 

said Akaroa went from having 

no water restrictions to level four 

“pretty much overnight.” 

“The community 

wasn’t 

given an 

option to conserve 

water,” 

he said. 

“I get a lot 

of people talking 

about not 

being able to 

water their

gardens and veges. Akaroa has a 

bit of an ageing population and 

gardens are really important to 

them.” 

Outside of his role on the community 

board, Mr Stewart owns 

Peninsula Trading Post, which 

sells plants and gardening items. 

He said sales of those items 

have dropped by about 80 per 

cent since the start of the ban. 

The rest of Christchurch and 

Banks Peninsula currently have

Akaroa and Takamatua are 

supplied from four streams and 

two wells, while Duvauchelle is 

supplied from a single stream. 

City council head of three 

waters and waste Helen 

Beaumont said staff are 

monitoring the stream levels 

three times a week to determine 

whether restriction levels can be 

lowered. 

“Rainfall through January and 

February has been considerably 

less than historical averages 

and stream flows are still very 

low. Restrictions will not be 

lifted until streams flows have 

increased.”

Fundraisers for Lachie’s cancer battle 


“AS A result of this most 

unwanted experience, you get to 

see the very best in people.” 

This is Huntsbury mother 

Kelly Sharpe’s reaction to the 

support her family has received 

as her 12-year-old son, Lachie 

Sutherland, battles neuroblastoma 

for a second time. 

So far, about $26,000 has been 

raised towards an $80,000 goal to 

afford self-funded MIGD therapy 

in Sydney, which Lachie is scheduled 

to receive later this month. 

The treatment delivers targeted 

radiation to the rare type of cancer 

which develops in infants and 

young children. 

With a number of fundraisers 

to go Mrs Sharpe is “very optimistic” 

the target will be met. 

An auction and comedy night 

with live music on Saturday at The 

Tannery’s Cassels Blue Smoke is 

the next event, and Mrs Sharpe is 

hoping to sell 350 tickets. 

Following that, there will be a 

quiz night, karma keg night and 

a Hoyts movie screening. 

Before his MIGD therapy, Lachie 

has spent the past five months 

undergoing eight rounds of 

chemotherapy and seven cycles of 

immunotherapy and radiation. 

He relapsed with neuroblastoma 

in August after showing 

no evidence of the disease since 

2013. 

It was 2012 when Lachie was 

diagnosed for the first time. 

He flew to Sydney, aged four, to 

receive MIGD therapy and was 

there for his fifth birthday. 

His last treatment fell around 

the same time as his father, Chris 

Sutherland, died from metastatic 

melanoma after having been 

diagnosed the month before. 

But six years on, Lachie was 

embracing life. 

About to embark on his final 

year of primary school and excitedly 

considering high school 

options. 

Relapse was the last thing on 

anyone’s mind. 

Said Mrs Sharpe: “I think 

everyone was surprised when 

the results came back showing a 

relapse. 

“We were devastated and 

HUMBLED: 

Kelly Sharpe, 

Lachie 

Sutherland and 

Jon Sharpe 

feel fortunate 

to have had 

the support 

of so many 

people during 

Lachie’s second 

battle with 

neuroblastoma 

cancer. 

heartbroken and quickly catapulted 

back into a world we never 

wanted to revisit. 

It was made harder by the fact 

Mrs Sharpe had lost her mother 

to cancer early last year. 

But in finding a silver lining, 

she said she has been “really 

fortunate to have the support of 

so many wonderful people. 

“I think we all struggle to 

rationalise why a child should 

have to experience cancer, so 

when they do, it seems to be 

something that calls people to 

action. They want to help, to 

make a difference and ease his 

suffering.”

News 

Sumner surfers should feature 

in Duke Festival of Surfing 

• By Warren Hawke 

SUMNER SURFERS are 

expected to have a big impact 

during The Ray White New 

Brighton Duke Festival 

of Surfing from Friday to 

Sunday. 

On Friday, the shortboard 

surfing begins with the under-12 

years events in which 

Poppy Entwistle and Benji 

Lowen are expected to do well 

in the girls and boys finals. 

In the under-14 age group 

Jack Tyro in the boys and 

Amelie Clark in the girls are 

likely finalists as well. 

These surfers will be accompanied 

by several other 

Sumner grommets who are 

members of The Point Surf 

Team. 

The much-coveted Duke 

Trophy along with accompanying 

prizes are all part of the 

rewards for surfing the sometimes, 

difficult conditions 

New Brighton beach beside 

the pier often produces. 

Top New Zealand surfer 

Estella Hungerford who has 

strong links to Sumner will be 

helping some inexperienced 

surfers with new skills about 

surfing around the pier which 

can be known for its rips on 

an out-going tide. 

On Saturday morning the 

longboard competitions will 

begin and Sumner surfers are 

expected to provide finalists in 

nearly every division. 

Casper McCormick, Luke 

O’Neil, Seb Johnson are all locals 

who could make the Open 

Longboard final which is one 

of The Duke’s premier events. 

Others who could well be 

winners are Steve Andrews in 

the 50s and Grant Cochrane 

in the over 60s men’s sections. 

Sumner longboarders, 

Lucy Temoananui, Lucy 

Johnson, Minnie Robberds 

and Anneliese Coberger and 

Brittany Andrews could also 

find themselves in a number 

of finals. 

Sumner is so rich in top 

longboarders that they could 

quite easily have finalists in 

every section. 

A dark horse could be Ambrose 

McNeill who will return

Your Local Views 

Readers respond to 

letters in last week’s 

Bay Harbour News 

regarding an article on 

rocks at the surface of 

Clifton Beach 

Pat McIntosh – I 

would just like to reply to 

some of your correspondents 

who wrote about 

the rocks now present on 

Clifton Beach, as I think 

they may be unaware of the 

extent of the problem. 

The pathway and seawall 

themselves are lovely – not 

a problem and much appreciated. 

But the beach 

area that was affected is not 

just the small section near 

Shag Rock, but extends the 

whole length of the excavations. 

Rocks that had lain 

buried up to 4m deep in 

the beach were distributed 

through the sand in the 

course of the works. 

Currently the high tide 

is cutting in just below the 

deposits and the concern 

is that if the beach changes 

shape, as it has in the past, 

these sharp stones will be 

even more widely distributed 

and start to affect the 

lower part of the beach 

where people like to paddle 

and swim. Not a good 

prospect. 

A small part is now covered 

by wind-blown sand, 

but this could just as easily 

get blown off again. 

And yes, people did consider 

removing some of the 

surface rocks themselves, 

but the job is far too big 

to be done without some 

machinery and the city 

council did not want any 

machinery used on the 

beach during the penguin 

nesting season. 

Jillian Wilson – Those 

rocks appeared on the 

beach during and following 

the recent construction of 

the Coastal Pathway. They 

are rock spoil. I’ve even 

brought one home as a souvenir 

as they don’t fit the 

geology of the area. I live 

on Clifton hill, walk the 

beach regularly and have 

done so for 20 years. To 

suggest that those rocks are 

occurring naturally simply 

isn’t true. 

They are rubbish, left 

lying on the beach by the 

contractors, and should be 

removed. 

That landscaping is 

unnatural to the area 

too, in spite of the plants 

chosen. I think the Coastal 

Pathway is a good idea 

but did we have to end up 

with sanitised landscaping, 

which has led to this 

appalling degradation of 

Clifton Beach? 

BIRDS OF THE ESTUARY 

Teaching that 

changes lives 

The Prime Minister’s Education Excellence Awards 

recognise inspiring work from across New Zealand. 

Teaching that benefits children and young 

people, whānau and entire communities. 

Teaching that changes us all.

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. 

Banded dotterel becoming 

a victim of modern society 

THE TINY little banded 

dotterel or tuturiwhatu is 

quickly becoming as rare as 

some of our kiwi species. 

Only 10 years ago some 

100 dotterel were counted 

around our estuary, last 

month only two single 

birds were counted. 

It is very likely that the 

banded dotterel will be 

another victim of modern 

society and increased predators 

such as hedgehogs, 

cats, dogs, rats and stoats. 

But we too are guilty of 

causing the loss of this tiny 

bird. 

As they nest on sand or 

gravel along the estuary 

edge and are extremely 

well camouflaged, we have 

trampled nests, often without 

realising, when taking 

out boats, paddleboards, 

surfboards, kayaks, windsurf 

boards or walking 

the dog out on the estuary 

shoreline. 

The Department of Conservation 

is trialling methods 

of protecting bird nests 

by covering the nest with a 

cage to make them visible 

RARITY: Banded dotterel numbers are dwindling due 

to predation and carelessness from people and pets. 

to people and preventing us 

from standing on the nests. 

They have seen some success 

but cages do not stop 

the nests from being raided 

by the predators. Watch 

this space. 

How can we help the 

dotterel numbers to thrive? 

Keep dogs on the lead 

when walking along the 

estuary edge. Keep an eye 

out for this tiny bird and 

stay well clear of them.

Tasty Bites 

Divine date night delights 

• By Ian Knott 

These delicious date 

night dishes are bound to 

impress your significant 

other - or better still, 

spend some quality time 

preparing and cooking 

them together 

Seared scallops with bacon 

and zucchini noodles 

Serves 2 

Ingredients 

3 slices bacon 

6 jumbo scallops 

2 zucchinis made into noodles 

½ large lemon, juiced (1½ Tbsp) 

1 tsp lemon zest 

1 cups chopped tomatoes 

1 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped 

Salt and pepper to taste 

Directions 

Place a large, heavy skillet 

(cast iron will be best for searing 

scallops) over medium heat, 

add bacon and cook for 3-5min 

on each side or until crispy but 

not burnt (it will add a different 

texture to the dish). Remove 

bacon and transfer to a plate lined 

with paper towel. Crumble or 

roughly chop after it’s cool. 

Leave bacon fat in the skillet 

and remove skillet from heat 

(about 2-3min) to cool slightly. 

Pat scallops dry. Right before 

cooking, season scallops with 

salt & pepper. Do it any sooner, 

and the salt will draw out their 

moisture, making them wet again, 

and thus preventing that delicious 

caramelisation. 

Gently, add scallops one at a 

time to heated skillet. Add about 

1 Tbsp butter to pan only if you 

don’t have enough bacon fat left. 

Scallops cook quickly and if 

they’re overcooked, they will 

become rubbery. Once they are 

deeply golden brown, with a 

caramelised exterior (2-3min 

max), flip them only once when 

they’re nicely browned. Once 

browned on both sides, remove 

them to a plate. 

Add zucchini noodles to the 

same skillet and season with salt 

& pepper. Let zucchini noodles 

cook for about 1min, flipping and 

stirring frequently. As the noodles 

cook, add in the lemon juice and 

zest. Also, toss in tomatoes and 

crumbled bacon. Continue to 

cook for about 2-3min. 

Divide zucchini noodles onto 

four plates, top with scallops and 

garnish with fresh chopped 

parsley. Enjoy! 

Espresso 

brownies 

Ingredients 

1 egg at room 

temperature 

¼ cup + 2 Tbsp 

coconut oil 

½ cup espresso or 

strong brewed coffee 

⅔ cup of sugar 

¼ cup + 1 Tbsp coconut flour 

¼ cup cocoa powder 

3 Tbsp instant coffee 

2 tsp vanilla essence 

¼ tsp sea salt 

3 tsp cornflour or arrowroot 

Directions 

Preheat oven to 180 deg C and 

prepare an 20cm square baking 

pan by lining it with a sheet of 

aluminum foil, leaving overhang on 

the sides to allow for easy removal. 

Grease the foil and set aside. 

Combine all ingredients in a 

mixing bowl using an electric 

mixer and add to baking pan. You 

can also just mix by hand. 

Bake for about 25-30min until 

center is set. Allow brownies 

to cool for about 20min before 

cutting.
