Tiny baby has goal to be big performer
INSPIRATION: Jasmine Butcher has gone from weighing 665gm at birth to becoming a music

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.

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

and conservation work around

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.

she said.
Mrs Gray said naming the

around it.
The society has outlined
the proposal in its current
form to the Spreydon-

and consultation with the

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

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

Fundraisers for Lachie’s cancer battle
• By Jess Gibson
“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.

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.”

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?

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.

REAL ESTATE
‘Sea’ for miles
28B Ripon Street, Lyttelton
Buyer Inquiry over $620,000
4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 1 living room
open-plan kitchen/dining | 1 car garage
plus 1 carport - Listing no. 10099
Elegant and stylish. Built for maximum
sun with panoramic views over Lyttelton
Harbour and surrounding hills across to
Quail Island.
Stroll up the driveway, past single garage
and carport up a few steps across a deck
onto the first level. Here you find three
double bedrooms. The master bedroom
has direct access to a lovely bathroom
containing a shower, king-size bath and
double his-and -hers sinks. A separate
toilet and laundry are also located on this
floor. Continue up the central stairway
onto the second level landing. Turn left to
the living, right to kitchen or diagonal to
access the rear of the property.
The private landscaped courtyard provides
all day living, ideal for that morning cuppa
to evening BBQs. Take time to breath in
the fragrant Jasmine that adorns the trellis.
The light-filled open-plan kitchen/dining
area is the heart of the home. Here stunning
picture-perfect sea views from the fulllength
dining room window combine with
high ceilings making for that feeling of
spaciousness.
Flow continues through to the living area
where a balcony off this room provides
additional living or entertaining space.
Stairs continue through the centre of the
house to a cleverly designed mezzanine
floor. Again, be spoilt with superb views
from the dining room windows. Having its
own shower and toilet makes this a super
fourth double bedroom, but if you want
space, light, and a “special spot” in which
to work from home, then this is just the
space. This is one of those properties where
careful planning, quality and convenience
for modern day living will have you want
to live here.
Lyttelton has become a sought-after
dynamic Port community with much to
offer from the Saturday market, cafes,
restaurants, to great entertainment. A
town that can boast having a number of
famous artists. Come join this thriving
township.
Open homes Saturday 14th and Sunday
15th 1:45pm – 2:30pm.
