Finding happiness again after tragic loss 

HAPPY AGAIN: Julie Zarifeh enjoying time and a continued zest for life with her fiancé, Henare Howard. 

• By Samantha Mythen 

AFTER JULIE Zarifeh lost her 

eldest son just 16 days after her 

husband died in 2017, Zarifeh 

told media she did not think 

that she would “ever truly be 

happy again”. 

But life is full of surprises and 

Zarifeh has found new love. 

She is engaged to be married. 

Zarifeh met her fiancé, Henare 

Howard via an online dating site. 

It was a chance meeting as 

Zarifeh had set her parameters 

of meeting someone within 

50km of Christchurch. 

Yet, every so often the dating 

site would send you a “what if” 

profile. 

The site asked Zarifeh: 

“What if there was someone 

who you matched with highly 

but they were based out of 

Christchurch?” 

Howard, based in Wellington, 

had already received the what 

if question and had looked at 

Zarifeh’s profile. He then sent 

her an email saying hello.

at meeting 


DIAMOND HARBOUR residents 

will be updated on the longrunning 

Godley House site saga 

on Monday. 

Deputy Mayor and Banks 

Peninsula city councillor Andrew 

Turner will talk to residents at the 

Diamond Harbour Community 

Association annual meeting. 

It comes after the city council 

asked the Department of Conservation 

this week on whether the 

legal status of part of the reserve 

near the Godley House site could 

be changed to accommodate a 

licensed facility. 

Said city council acting head of 

parks Brenden Winder: “The next 

steps will be dependent on the outcome 

of the city council’s query. 

“We do not know the time 

frame for response.” 

Turner was a bit vague when 

asked by Bay Harbour News 

yesterday what he would be telling 

Diamond Harbour residents on 

Monday. 

Turner said: “I expect I will be 

talking about how an area could 

be made available to support the 

developement of a commercial 

business to meet the aspirations of 

the community. • Turn to page 5

POWER VINYASA YOGA 

Many people find Apollo’s Power Vinyasa practice to be effective in 

relieving and preventing back pain and tension-related types of pain 

yoga pose of the month 

Locust 

Pose 

Locust pose is a great way to strengthen your back. If your back is weak from 

disuse or from poor posture, locust is a means for you to regain alignment and 

strength in your back. 

1. Lie down on your front. You may use a 

folded towel or even a thin cushion to pad 

the front of your hips if you wish. 

2. Flex your toes down towards the floor and 

press your heels towards the back of the 

room. 

3. Engage your quadriceps on the front of 

your thighs and straighten your legs at the 

knee. 

4. Place your hands alongside you with your 

fingers pointing forwards, your palms facing 

downwards and your elbows pointing 

upwards. 

5. Engage the muscles on the backs of your 

thighs and in your buttocks. Lift your legs 

off the floor. 

6. Draw your shoulders towards the back of 

your body and press your chest forward. 

Lift as much of your torso off the floor as 

you can. 

7. Draw your chin towards your throat, 

lengthen the back of your neck and keep 

your head in line with your spine as you lift. 

Do not collapse your head down towards 

the floor. 

8. Hold this lifted position for a count of five. 

Gently lower to the floor. Turn your left ear 

to the mat and pause a few moments. 

9. Repeat the pose again. After the second 

locust turn your right ear to the mat. 

Locust is not for show. There are no prizes for how high you can elevate yourself. Work within 

yourself to build tone and strength in your back and alignment and balance to your posture.

Cemetery project makes progress 


AFTER 10 years of 

campaigning, the Akaroa 

cemeteries improvement project 

is finally seeing progress, just in 

time for the 180th anniversary 

weekend commemorating the 

Comte de Paris settlers’ arrival 

to the area. 

The city council has cleared 

two trees which had grown 

through historic grave sites and 

it is currently repairing and 

restoring four damaged headstones. 

The headstones will be 

unveiled on Saturday during the 

anniversary event. 

The project has been driven by 

the Comte de Paris Descendants 

Group and Akaroa Cemeteries 

Group. 

Descendants group member, 

Linda Sunderland said: 

“Without our persistence and 

perseverance, I don’t think this 

would have happened. We are so 

grateful this is finally happening. 

“Akaroa is the first formal 

European settlement in the 

South Island. The people buried 

there made it happen. The site is 

of historical significance to New 

Zealand.” 

Settlers from France, Germany 

and Belgium travelled on the 

Comte de Paris ship for many 

months, arriving in Akaroa on 

August 16, 1840. Many of the 

BIG EFFORT: Members of the Comte de Paris 

Descendants Group and the Akaroa Cemeteries Group 

take part in one of the many working bees to maintain 

the town’s historic cemeteries. 

original settlers are buried in the 

town’s cemeteries. 

Over the three-day weekend 

event, hosted by the descendants 

group and the Libeau family, 

there will be guided historical 

tours around the town and 

cemeteries, as well as a dinner 

and dance. 

The Akaroa Museum is also 

showcasing an exhibition centered 

on the town in 1840. 

The project’s progress comes 

after the groups made another 

plea to the Banks Peninsula 

Community Board, asking for 

its continued support of the 

cemetery restoration at a board 

meeting in early February. 

Said Sunderland: “Over 10 

years we have been patient and 

persevered. We have saved the 

council money with our working 

bees and heritage work. Every 

thing they have asked of us, we 

have done,” she said. 

“We don’t know what else we 

can do.” 

In 2010, the groups had written 

to former mayor Bob Parker, asking 

if they could work together 

with the city council to restore 

earthquake-damaged headstones. 

What followed was a large 

amount of persistence and determination 

from the two groups 

with little action from the city 

council. 

The groups had wanted the 

headstones to be restored for 

the 150th anniversary, and have 

since carried out an assessment 

of 40 heritage headstones as part 

of their restoration project. 

The next projects for the group 

includes campaigning for the installation 

of a memorial entrance 

to the Catholic church cemetery. 

“The memorial entrance is a 

gift to the council, Christchurch 

and the Akaroa community, 

paid for by the descendants 

group,” Sunderland said. 

“It is a gesture of good intention 

and it’s a shame it has been 

so difficult to get it in place.” 

A further project is extending 

the cemetery for ongoing burials. 

The city council’s Cemeteries 

Master Plan expects future 

burial requirements of Akaroa to 

occur at Duvauchelle Cemetery. 

Sunderland said: “The lack of 

burial space and maintenance 

shows a disregard and disrespect 

for those buried there and their 

families.” 

Sunderland discussed these 

issues at the Banks Peninsula 

Community Board meeting last 

Monday. 

As a result the board will 

request that the city council 

continue with the development 

of the memorial gate, subject 

to the necessary consent 

requirements.

The Bravest Voices 

A Memoir of Two Sisters’ Heroism during the Nazi era 

by Ida Cook 

This timeless memoir documents two sisters’ bravery leading up to WWII—a singular 

historical account that shines a light on one of humanity’s darkest hours. 

Ida and Louise Cook are two ordinary Englishwomen, seemingly destined never to 

stray from their quiet London suburb and comfortable jobs—Ida as a budding romance 

novelist and Louise as a civil service typist. But in 1923, a chance hearing of an 

aria from Madame Butterfly sparked a passion for opera in the sisters that led to the 

formation of friendships with some of Europe’s leading singers and their network, many 

of them Jewish. As the Nazis rose to power, Ida and Louise began working with the 

opera world’s insiders to save members of the community from persecution and death. 

Through ingenuity, thrift and bottomless goodwill, the sisters eluded the suspicion of 

the Nazis and helped secure safe passage for dozens of refugees. No one would have 

predicted such daring lives for Ida and Louise Cook—but that underestimation is exactly 

how they were able to save lives.

Kiwi Success Stories in the Time of Covid 

By david downs Joe davis 

The Covid-19 lockdown in New Zealand caused fear, hardship and loss. Through this time 

of unprecedented national hardship, however, there emerged incredible stories of hope 

and optimism. Businesses innovated and found new ways to create value, communities 

came together in new ways online, and families reconnected through time spent together. 

This book is a collection of those stories from across Aotearoa. 

The book was the brainchild of the well-known business Nanogirl Labs, which lost a 

full 18-month work calendar over a few days before the Covid-19 Level 4 lockdown. 

Founders Joe Davis and Michelle Dickinson (Nanogirl) could have closed their doors 

and headed home. Instead, they made a choice to change direction and four days later 

launched a brand-new, entirely online learning program for families. They tripled their 

staff headcount as the lockdown loomed, took on new premises, built a full production 

studio and went to market. They now have thousands of subscribers across 76 countries 

around the world, and are growing fast.

Liftoff 

elon Musk and the desperate early days That Launched 

Spacex 

By eric Berger 

The dramatic inside story of the first four historic flights that launched SpaceX-and Elon Muskfrom 

a shaky startup into the world’s leading edge rocket company. SpaceX has enjoyed a 

miraculous decade. Less than 20 years after its founding, it boasts the largest constellation 

of commercial satellites in orbit, has pioneered reusable rockets, and in 2020 became 

the first private company to launch human beings into orbit. Half a century after the space 

race SpaceX is pushing forward into the cosmos, laying the foundation for our exploration 

of other worlds. But before it became one of the most powerful players in the aerospace 

industry, SpaceX was a fledgling startup, scrambling to develop a single workable rocket 

before the money ran dry. The engineering challenge was immense; numerous other private 

companies had failed similar attempts. And even if SpaceX succeeded, they would then 

have to compete for government contracts with titans such as Lockheed Martin and Boeing, 

who had tens of thousands of employees and tens of billions of dollars in annual revenue. 

Her Say 

Survivors of domestic Abuse Tell Their Own Stories 

By Jackie Clark 

In 2013, Jackie Clark launched The Aunties, a grassroots charity helping women to 

rebuild their lives after a period of trauma. She quit her job, turning her back on her 

comfortable life, to focus on The Aunties full-time, becoming Aunty in Charge and 

assisting hundreds of women with material needs and emotional support. Jackie has 

long dreamed of a publication that gives these women a voice. This powerful new book 

features the stories of a number of very different New Zealand women, told their way. 

The collected stories chart their narrators’ lives and personal histories, through the lens 

of having lived with - and escaped - an abusive relationship. Her Say is spoken from 

the heart, uncompromising but offering hope, redemption, personal triumph. It’s a book 

for all women, showing how owning our stories gives us the power to write daring 

new endings. It will challenge, illuminate, and empower readers - not to mention the 

storytellers themselves.

“I haven’t decided the exact 

content of what I’ll present yet.” 

The community is hoping to see 

a licensed hospitality venue built 

on the historical and culturally 

significant site. 

It was discovered in 2018, that the 

site had been made a recreational 

reserve by the Banks Peninsula 

District Council in 2006. 

That means the site can only be 

used for the purposes of a reserve 

under the Reserves Act 1977. The 

act defines the legal requirements 

around what buildings can be 

constructed and how the reserve 

can be used, which excludes a 

licensed venue. 

The temporary lease on the site 

which allowed the establishment 

of the Dark Star Ale House in 

2011, was a mistake 

by the city 

council and the 

lease had to end. 

The Banks 

Peninsula Community 

Board 

has been working 

with the city 

council attempting 

to change the reserve status. 

If that happened, a piece of land 

could be used for the construction 

of a building such as Godley House. 

Said Turner: “There is no 

reason, from looking at the site’s 

history, why a corner couldn’t be 

carved off.” 

Winder said in order for a 

licensed hospitality venue to be 

built on the site, the recreation 

reserve status would need to be 

revoked by the Minister of Conservation. 

In order for that to happen, 

there would first need to be consultation 

with the public, where 

the community could provide 

submissions heard by a city 

council hearings panel. The panel 

would summarise the submissions, 

providing a recommendation 

to the community board. 

The city council would then 

consider the recommendation 

of the community board and if 

the full city council supports the 

revocation, an application is made 

to the Minister of Conservation 

via the Department of Conservation, 

which would make a recommendation 

itself. 

During 2019, the city council 

held a public consultation with 

members of the community, 

including Diamond Harbour 

School, residents and local businesses, 

asking them what they 

would like to see at the reserve. 


Desire to have somewhere to socialise 

Andrew 

Turner 

Two hundred and forty one 

submissions were received. 

The feedback was diverse but 

an overarching theme was the 

desire of the community to have 

somewhere to socialise. 

One hundred and thirty two 

people specifically requested a 

licensed hospitality venue. 

Currently, there is only one eatery 

within the village’s centre near 

the vicinity of the wharf, which 

often sees an influx of visitors. 

A report from city council staff 

was sent to the community board 

in September 2019. It recommended 

the establishment of a cafe, however, 

it noted it would be unlicensed 

due to the site’s reserve status. 

In response to this, the Diamond

Sewage 

spills from 

manhole 


A MANHOLE has been 

overflowing with sewage in 

Drayton Reserve in Mt Pleasant 

for the last five days. 

An Environment Canterbury 

incident response officer visited 

the site yesterday morning 

to assess the situation and 

environmental effects. 

ECan said it appears the 

flooding is not affecting the 

nearby stream. 

However, Drayton Reserve 

volunteers co-ordinator, Dave 

Bryce said sewage is flowing 

into Glenstrae Stream nearby 

and it has already discoloured 

a small pool of water at the 

top of the waterfall in the 

reserve. 

Bryce was told about the 

overflow on Friday by another 

volunteer. He rang ECan’s 

pollution hotline to report the 

event. 

Another reserve volunteer 

reported it on the city council 

website on Monday night 

with Bryce again ringing ECan 

to ask when the issue would be 

sorted. 

Said Bryce: “It is totally 

disgusting and unacceptable 

for raw sewage to be flowing 

into the stream. There’s a mess 

down the hillside which should 

be cleaned up and the stream 

should be flushed because of no 

diluting flow.’’ 

An ECan spokesperson said it 

was understood the city council 

will fix the problem “as soon as 

possible.’’

Contractor commissioned 

to remove graffiti poem 


THE DARK and 

apocalyptic graffiti poem 

on a wall next to the 

playing field at Lyttelton 

Primary School is going to 

be removed. 

The confirmation 

from the city council 

comes almost seven 

months after Lyttelton 

resident Paul Dietsche 

first complained to the 

city council about the 

graffiti via their Snap Send 

Resolve module. 

A city council 

spokesperson said: “We 

are looking into why this 

request was not advanced 

and apologise for the 

inconvenience caused. 

“We plan to have this 

resolved within the next 

week.” 

Deputy Mayor Andrew 

Turner said an order with 

a specialist contractor was 

placed last Monday for the 

graffiti’s removal. 

There are 29 different 

methods of removing 

graffiti depending on the 

type of material the graffiti 

is on. 

From September 2020 to 

February 2021, 6550 graffiti 

tickets were reported 

via Snap Send Solve for the 

Christchurch area. 

During this time period, 

80 tickets were marked as 

being in Lyttelton. 

The wall in Lyttelton 

has a Heritage One listing 

as it is part of the historic 

Lyttelton Gaol. This means 

a special process is needed 

to remove the graffiti.

A curious Zarifeh looked at Howard’s 

profile and liked what she saw. 

“I thought, ohhh, it could well be worth 

meeting Henare.” 

Howard works as a senior Māori 

advisor at Te Hiringa Hauora/Health Promotion 

Agency, and they share a common 

interest in the health sector. 

Zarifeh was already due to fly up to 

Wellington for a concert and so they organised 

to meet on February 8 last year. 

Their first meeting over coffee turned 

into a nine-hour date. 

After their initial meeting, they shared 

a couple of weekend dates. 

Then the country went into lockdown. 

Not to be deterred, the couple spent 

their days working and then joined each 

other on Zoom, chatting while watching a 

movie together at the same time. 

Howard “wooed” Zarifeh, even from 

afar, sending her flowers and croissants. 

“We had a mutual interest in seeing 

where this would go,” Zarifeh said. 

Seven months later, Howard dropped 

down on one knee and asked Zarifeh to 

marry him. 

“The ironic thing is that Henare’s

surname is my maiden name.” 

Zarifeh had no idea what the future 

would hold after the loss of Paul. She was 

perfectly content in her own company, 

open to new friendships, but she never 

thought she would be getting married 

again. 

“I feel very lucky,” she said. 

The proposal took Zarifeh by surprise but 

it was with no hesitation that she said yes. 

“It felt right,” she said. 

In January, they spent five weeks 

touring the North Island in a campervan, 

spending time with Howard’s friends and 

family in Northland. 

“I love the fact he has embraced our 

family’s loss of Paul and Sam as part of 

our story,” Zarifeh said. 

“He often has me in his ear telling him 

lots about them, and he has embraced it 

all, which is really lovely.” 

They are planning to move in together 

at Zarifeh’s home in Sumner. 

“I have a 15-month-old grandson and 

another grandchild on the way,” Zarifeh 

said. 

“There is no where else I’d rather be.”

WHISTLING Buoy, a 

family-owned winery and 

vineyard nestled into the hills 

surrounding Charteris Bay, 

has begun its 2021 vintage. 

Said managing director Neil 

Pattinson: “The grapes are tasting 

and looking really good.” 

The winery is hopeful for 

the year ahead after taking a 

blow in 2020 from the effects 

of Covid-19. 

Air New Zealand had 

chosen the winery’s 2016 

wild-fermented pinot noir to 

serve business class flyers on 

international flights through 

winter and spring of 2020. But 

the pandemic grounded the 

overseas fleet before it could 

happen. 

“This was an unfortunate 

setback we could have done 

without,” said Pattinson. 

“We are now focusing on 

our local and Banks Peninsula 

roots, represented throughout 

Lyttelton Harbour in shops 

and supermarkets.” 

The harvested grapes will be 

transported to Waipara where 

HARVEST: Neil and Jill Pattinson tend to the vines at 

Whistling Buoy winery. 

they will be made into wine. 

Whistling Buoy began in 

2000 when its first vines were 

planted in an area which used 

to be a pony paddock and then 

before that, a sheep paddock. 

Said Pattinson: “We first 

planted the vines as an indicator 

to see if the site would 

produce good pinot noir, and 

the proof is in the pudding. 

We’ve been growing some 

exceptional pinot noir.” 

In 2013, it purchased Kokolo, 

a vineyard in Teddington, 3km 

away from their home block. 

From that moment, Pattinson 

said his family turned 

a hobby into a commercial 

business. 

It’s a family affair. Pattinson, 

his wife, Jill and their 

son, Chris, all help out with 

the vineyard. Chris studied 

viticulture and oenology at 

Lincoln University. 

The name of the winery was 

inspired by the marker buoy 

between Adderley and Godley 

Heads, marking the entrance 

to Lyttelton Harbour. 

Banks Peninsula, surprisingly 

to many, has seen a 

viticulture potential since 

French immigrants settled in 

Akaroa in 1840, bringing vine 

cuttings from their homeland. 

Akaroa’s suitability for 

viticulture was confirmed 

in 1895, when international 

viticulturist Romeo Bragato 

visited New Zealand shores 

to determine the country’s 

ability for wine making. 

However, commercial 

wine production only began 

in the late 1970s. The first 

commercial vineyard seen 

in Canterbury was St Helena 

Estate, established at Coutts 

Island in 1978. 

“To the south east, Christchurch has two extinct volcanoes 

(though they wobble occasionally) which are broken up with 

bays, harbours, pockets of bush and farmland which has a 

sparse road network and a strong sense of isolation in parts. 

A fantastic area of exploration and a playground which I enjoy 

and paint, sometimes from afar and sometimes from within. 

I particularly enjoy painting the dry summer tussock colours 

against the blues and greens of the sea water and the low sun 

sparking off the water which deliver contrast and warm vibrant 

colours. 

I hope some of these paintings remind you of some adventure 

you have had on Banks Peninsula, the smells and tranquillity 

when you can sit for a moment to rest and enjoy the view.” 

Born in 1959 in Christchurch New Zealand where he lives 

and works, Philip works in oil, water-colour, dry-point and

he lives, with its cityscapes, the Canterbury plains, the Southern 

Alps and Banks Peninsula - all sources of subject matter and

Dealing with a double tragedy 

Grief on the Run is 

on the book shelves. 

It tells Julie Zarifeh’s 

story about losing 

her husband and 

son within 16 days. 

TakeNote Ferrymead 

will donate $2 to 

the Mental Health 

Foundation for every 

copy sold 

WHEN SUMNER’S Julie 

Zarifeh lost her husband to 

pancreatic cancer she never 

imagined that 16 days later she 

would also lose her son in a tragic 

rafting accident. 

Paul Zarifeh, died on November 

23, 2017, and his 27-year-old 

son Sam drowned while on a 

rafting trip with workmates on 

December 9. 

The family’s grief was immense 

and at the time Julie 

Zarifeh said she felt she would 

not “ever truly be happy again”. 

“To experience both ends of 

the grief spectrum in a twoweek 

period – the very sad but 

anticipated bereavement of Paul, 

but then the acute, tragic, shock 

loss of eldest son Sam – is truly 

indescribable,” she said. 

Just over three years have 

passed since the double blow 

rocked the family and Zarifeh 

has published a book about how 

she coped with the loss and 

moved her life forward. 

A clinical psychologist, Zarifeh 

embarked on a journey of “active 

grieving’’ and said once she had 

adjusted to the initial shock, she 

started setting herself goals. 

The first was a 450km cycle 

tour around Sri Lanka to raise 

money to give disadvantaged 

Kiwi children new bikes. 

Then, she trekked the 800km 

Camino de Santiago and ran the 

New York marathon on behalf of 

the Mental Health Foundation. 

Zarifeh’s book – titled Grief 

on the Run - was this released 

month. 

In it she reveals she was at a 

movie when her son died and she 

emerged to turn her phone on 

and find messages from a neighbour 

saying police were looking 

for her. 

She said she had a “real maternal 

gut instinct that it wasn’t 

going to be good news, and that 

it was Sam.” 

“I’d been feeling really weird 

all day actually, it wasn’t good,” 

she told NewstalkZB host Chris 

Lynch. 

The book canvasses the death 

of both her husband and son and 

Zarifeh reveals there was a 24- 

hour period where she could not 

see any point in living her life. 

“I literally was curled up in a 

foetal position on the floor,” she 

said. 

“We really debated whether 

we had it in us to have another 

funeral . . . then the family decided 

that Sam did need to have a 

funeral … I was just lying on the 

floor listening. 

“I woke up the next morning 

and thought, ah, my gig – and I 

wanted to be the person that organised 

the celebration for Sam.” 

After she buried her son 

Zarifeh decided she was not going 

to let the deaths define her. 

She said while her husband 

was dying she was preparing 

herself for that. 

“I obviously didn’t factor in the 

loss of Sam, 16 days later,” she 

said. 

“So the decisions I’d made 

already in terms of deciding to 

go on the Camino walk etc, just 

took on a more poignancy and 

meaning. 

“Paul’s was a tragic but anticipated 

slow demise, so you grieve 

in advance … compare that with 

the absolute and utter shock of 

FAMILY: Sam Zarifeh (far left) with sister Kristi, Julie, late 

father Paul and brother Jared. 

an accident … instantaneous 

death, you’re trying to work out 

how to marry those two ways of 

coping . 

“The book kind of talks about 

that, and how I pulled it all 

together.” 

Zarifeh said the book that 

chronicles her journey of active 

grieving had an element of tragedy 

but had also been described as 

“uplifting”.

have laughter,” she said. 

She said she had the “perfect 

storm” of training, skill and tools 

from her career and work to help 

her get through her ordeal. 

Currently working as a consultant 

clinical psychologist, 

Zarifeh has investigated the psychological 

factors contributing 

to ‘broken heart syndrome’ after 

the earthquakes and has presented 

at many conferences. 

She is also working with 

survivors and family members 

affected by the March 15 terror 

attack. 

But she also wanted to pass her 

knowledge on to others – anyone 

who was struggling with grief in 

any way. 

She explained the theory she 

lived by and what the book was 

about. 

“The term active grieving 

doesn’t just refers to exercise – in 

my case I went pretty hard out,” 

she said. 

“Active is just staying moving, 

keeping moving, keeping active 

-whatever you do in your day-today 

life, keeping up with that. 

“Not withdrawing, not letting 

the grief become so all-consuming 

that you withdraw into 

yourself and stop connecting. 

“Doing activities of daily living 

that we all know are important 

and crucial for us to keep on top 

of things.’’ 

Zarifeh said she was doing 

“pretty good.” 

“But that’s not to say I still 

don’t have my moments of being 

absolutely sideswiped by what we 

call a grief hijack, that can come 

out of the blue for no particular 

reason,” she said. 

“I continue to be extremely deliberate 

on a daily basis on how I 

conduct myself.” 

She said routine was crucial 

and helped her keep on track. 

Her day started with exercise – 

a morning walk or more recently, 

a cold water ocean dip watching 

the sunrise. 

Zarifeh said initially she was 

only going to write the book for 

her family but she decided to 

push forward after encouragement. 

“It became my job,” she said. 

“I wasn’t ready to go back to 

work at that point … and then 

it’s just grown into this thing. 

Zarifeh said there are five basic 

ways to well-being: 

• Connect – spending time 

with people who you strongly 

connect to, emotionally. 

• Give – giving your own time 

or resources to help others, unconditionally. 

• Choose what to focus on – 

focusing on the good things in 

life: past, present and future. 

• Learn – continue learning 

whether it’s a new sport, hobby, 

language or studying. 

• Be active – walking on the 

beach, swimming, skiing, running 

etc.

Virginia Humphrey-Taylor 

and Richard Marrett (musical 

director of Jersey Boys 

which was in season recently 

at the Court Theatre) 

as their in-house coach. 

Said Humphrey-Taylor: 

“This is a wonderful opportunity

Autumn equinox a time to 

reflect and contemplate 


THE Stonecircle 

Interspiritual Community 

gathered together in 

Heathcote on Sunday 

to celebrate autumn 

equinox. 

Diamond Harbour 

resident Michele Cherry 

who is a reverend of the 

group said autumn marks 

the time to plant seeds to 

harvest before winter. 

“These are seeds in our 

gardens as well as seeds of 

spiritual tools we can harvest 

to support us during 

the darker days of winter,” 

she said. 

The group created 

an ‘autumn alter,’ read 

autumnal themed poems 

and stories, and shared a 

vegetarian lunch. 

The equinox was on 

Saturday at 10.37pm. It occurs 

when the sun moves 

north across the celestial 

equator, marking the 

first day of astronomical 

autumn. 

Said Cherry: “It is a 

common feeling to not 

look forward to winter 

but it is a really valuable 

time to rest, reflect and 

CELEBRATION: The Stonecircle Interspiritual 

Community celebrating the autumn equinox. 

contemplate. To also be 

grateful, because without 

winter, we would not have 

spring.” 

Cherry shared the 

story of Demeter and her 

daughter, Persephone, 

an ancient Greek myth 

explaining the origin of 

the seasons. 

The group believes 

in spiritual growth and 

exploration. It welcomes 

new members whatever 

their background or faith 

tradition. The belief of 

the group is that there is 

a deeper experience of 

unity which lies beneath 

the different theological 

and spiritual beliefs and 

practices seen in the world 

today. 

“It embraces all the faith 

traditions as all have the 

central message of love,” 

said Cherry. 

The group celebrate the 

changing of the seasons 

every three months and 

also meet for a reflective 

gathering on the third 

Sunday of every month.

OPINION 


Coastal Pathway questions answered 

The Christchurch 

Coastal Pathway Group 

answers questions 

raised by members of 

the public at its stand 

at the recent Estuary 

Fest at Mt Pleasant 

Community Centre 

When will construction of the 

Moncks Bay section begin? 

The city council is project 

managing the construction of 

the pathway. It is hoping to get 

the tender process under way in 

May with the aim of beginning 

construction this winter. 

When will the Moncks Bay 

section be completed? 

As with all major construction 

projects, the time frame for the 

build is hard to predict. However, 

the city council is hoping to 

have the construction complete 

by winter 2022. 

How will the pathway work at 

the section where the yacht club 

boat shed is under construction? 

The coastal pathway group 

made a financial contribution 

to the construction of the new 

boat shed, thereby securing a 

right of way over a 4m wide strip 

of the platform for the pathway. 

Ramps at either end will connect 

the deck of the boat shed with 

the pathway. We expect that 

this deck will provide a pleasant 

stopping point for pathway users 

to enjoy one of the most picturesque 

parts of the pathway. 

Will the Moncks Bay section 

require a cantilevered platform? 

According to the city council 

traffic engineers, most of the 

existing road bed is wide enough 

to build a 4m coastal pathway 

as well as two car lanes and 

on-road cycle lanes. This will 

require some realignment of the 

road and speed limit changes. 

However, the section between 

the CYC Boatshed and Rapanui 

Shag Rock will be cantilevered 

in some places due to the limited 

road width available. 

For more detail on the new 

road layout and traffic management 

plan see: 

https://ccc.govt.nz/the-council/ 

consultations-and-submissions/ 

haveyoursay/show/355 

Will there be toilets installed 

along this section of the pathway? 

At this stage there are no plans 

to install toilets anywhere on the 

Moncks Bay section. There are 

public toilets in Barnett Park, 

and the council is considering 

providing signage to direct pathway 

users there. 

How does the new cycle 

lane along Humphrey’s Drive 

work in with the Coastal 

Pathway? 

Currently there is a new 

section of cycleway being 

constructed along Linwood Ave 

to extend the Rapanui – Shag 

Rock cycle route. Once complete 

it will connect to Humphreys 

Drive via Charlesworth Reserve. 

This is a separate council project 

which also received “shovel 

ready” funding from central 

government. It will connect 

to the Coastal Pathway at the 

Ferrymead Bridge. 

•If you have other 

questions or would like 

to meet the team, join 

us at our annual meeting 

at 7pm on May 12 at the 

Christchurch Yacht Club. 

Simon Kingham will 

deliver the keynote 

followed by an update 

by city council project 

manager David King and 

CCPG chair Hanno Sander.

ESTUARY MATTERS 

The construction of Humphreys Drive 

The Avon- 

Heathcote 

Estuary Ihutai 

Trust is a 

non-profit 

organisation 

formed 

to protect 

one of New 

Zealand’s most important 

coastal wetlands. Each 

week, board members 

will discuss matters 

regarding the estuary, 

its rich history and what 

makes it unique. This 

week Bill Simpson writes 

about the history of 

Humphreys Drive 

YOU MAY have noticed the 

road works along Humphreys 

Drive alongside the Linwood 

Canal. This is another link in the 

city council’s Rapaki/Shag Rock 

cycleway to the city. 

We now accept that this road 

is a major route in and out of the 

city for bays residents. 

But it was not always so. Humphreys 

Drive was a latecomer as 

an estuary side road. 

Until the mid-1930s, Linwood 

Ave was a blind road which 

stopped at the estuary edge. The 

main route in and out of town 

was Ferry Rd. 

But in the Depression years, 

the council decided that relief 

workers could be used to connect 

Linwood Ave to the Ferrymead 

bridge. 

A local resident and developer 

Walter de Their offered rock 

from his quarry on St Andrews 

Hill and 2000 yards of rock were 

used. 

His land was also used as a 

base for the 70 or so workers, 

and for storing explosives. 

Another local businessman, 

George Humphreys, of Sumner, 

donated the use of two of his 

trucks along with drivers and 

free petrol. 

Humphreys was the founder 

of the wine and spirits merchants 

Fletcher Humphreys in 

Christchurch. 

He was also a director of 

the Canterbury Frozen meat 

Company and prominent in the 

Chamber of Commerce. 

He had a large estate near 

Sumner and also owned the 

land formerly occupied by the 

Zealandia Soap and Candle factory; 

that land is now part of the 

Charlesworth Wetland Reserve. 

Work began in 1933 and 

informally the road was referred 

to as either Estuary Rd or the 

Linwood Ave extension. 

But the name Humphreys 

Drive was officially adopted in 

1950 to honour the contributions 

of George Humphreys.

Strength 

in numbers 

How we’re rolling out the COVID-19 vaccine 

We have secured enough doses of the Pfizer vaccine for everyone 

16 years and over in Aotearoa. Any vaccine’s strength is in numbers. 

The more of us who get vaccinated, the stronger and safer we’ll all be. 

It will give us more freedom in our daily lives, and more options for our 

whānau, our businesses and our country. Because when we roll up our 

own sleeves, we’re helping to protect all of us. 

Here are the key facts about the Pfizer vaccine: 

It’s safe 

It has been approved by our own 

Medsafe experts. It’s also already 

been used successfully all around 

the world by millions of people, 

and by thousands here in 

New Zealand too. 

It’s effective 

The Pfizer vaccine is 95% 

effective when you receive 

both doses. 

It’s free 

The vaccine will be free for 

everyone in the country. We have 

secured over 10 million doses of 

the Pfizer vaccine. That’s enough 

for all of New Zealand. 

New Zealand’s vaccination rollout plan 

The rollout plan for the Pfizer vaccine is simple. Everyone in the country aged 16 and over falls into 

one of four groups. Firstly, we’ll protect those most at risk of picking up the virus in their workplaces 

– and then those most at risk of getting seriously ill or dying from COVID-19. 

NOW FROM MARCH FROM MAY FROM JULY 

Group 1 Group 2 Group 3 Group 4 

Border and MIQ workers 

Frontline workers and 

people in high-risk areas 

65+ and people with 

underlying health 

conditions or disabilities 

Everyone else 

aged 16 and over 

More strength. More freedom. More options. 

We’ll let you know when it’s your turn for the vaccine. Until then, please 

keep using the NZ COVID Tracer app, and stay home if you’re sick.

From tree removals to hedge 

trimming - no job too big or small 

WITH winter approaching, now is the 

time to consider maintenance of those 

out of control trees, bushes and shrubs. 

Because it’s important that this type of 

maintenance is done safely and efficiently, 

it is strongly recommended such jobs be 

done by a professional arborist. Special 

Branch Tree Care NZ based in Lyttelton is 

expert in all areas of tree maintenance and 

removal. 

Owned and operated by David Craig, 

David has over 25 years’ experience as 

an arborist and is a specialist when it 

comes to hillside work and rigging safety 

equipment. 

If you have concerns about a certain 

tree on your property, give David a call. 

He can carry out a thorough Tree Report 

outlining any health and safety issues such 

as deadwood, cracks, decay, weak branch 

unions, broken limbs, root problems, or 

simply just general poor tree architecture, 

and from here recommend what action 

should be taken. 

But David doesn’t just do tree removals 

at dizzying heights. He is a specialist in all 

areas of landscape maintenance including 

Formative Pruning - pruning of young 

trees to improve structure, health and 

form, Thinning - often recommended 

by David as the best course of action for 

mature trees in an urban environment 

followed by selective pruning to expose 

branch structure and allow more light 

through the canopy, Crown Reductions - 

reductions in height and crown diameter, 

and Hedge Trimming. 

Clean up is easy. David offers site waste 

removal, wood chipping and firewood 

chopping services.

Black Edition keeps Triton desirable 

THE LAST SIX months have 

been busy for light commercial 

distributors. 

There have been several vans 

entering the market, along with 

a succession of new utes landing 

here. 

That’s no surprise, the buoyant 

ute or pick-up sector in New 

Zealand is following overseas 

trends, not only are they the 

practical load carrier, but such is 

their sophistication the traditional 

double cab ute is often purchased 

as the family vehicle of choice. 

In terms of what’s new - 

Toyota’s Hilux, Isuzu’s D-Max 

and Mazda’s BT-50 have all had 

a generation change. And I can 

report that each of these models 

are worthy frontrunners. 

However, there’s one other 

model that is well represented in 

the market and that’s Mitsubishi’s 

Triton. Its generational change is 

a little out of kilter with the others 

but Mitsubishi has upped the ante 

as well, there’s a new dress-up 

model in the line-up – the Black 

Edition. As in the test car’s case, it 

was all black, but there are three 

other colours available. 

Based around the Triton GLS, 

the Black Edition is yet another 

example of Mitsubishi’s value 

pricing. Listing at around $60,000 

in the books, it’s available now on 

special offer at $47k. Bearing in 

mind that the evaluation car had 

around $8000 of extra kit – deck 

cover, sports bar/cab protector 

and flared wheel arches. 

Sure, many manufacturers have 

dress-up kits and add-ons in their 

utes, but the Triton Black Edition 

stands out without being over the 

top in terms of looks. 

Nothing has been 

compromised in terms of ability 

and function. Beneath the 

bold exterior the Black Edition 

is still the tough four-wheeldrive 

double cab that will do all 

that you would expect from a 

traditional one-tonner. 

Under the bonnet sits a 

well-proven four-cylinder 

turbocharged diesel engine. 

It isn’t new, but long-term 

development is one of the 

benefits, and it shows. The 

2442cc unit is smooth, quiet 

and efficient. In terms of figures, 

Mitsubishi rates it with 135kW 

and 437Nm, both figures 

developed at traditional parts

Mitsubishi also claims an 

8.6l/100km combined cycle fuel

engine through too much hard 

work so the Black Edition went 

back to the dealership with an 

average figure of 10l/100km

is manipulated by a centrallylocated 

dial and there are the usual 

selections, low ratio for crawl 

speed over rough ground and low 

grip surfaces, and high ratio for 

less demanding conditions. 

I only ventured off-the-seal 

for a short burst. The Hororata 

River was running dry, as it often 

does at this time of year, and 

with a good solid base I tackled 

a few humps and bumps just to 

get the feel of low ratio working 

and hill descent control. Ground 

clearance at 220mm is generous, 

while there is little underneath to 

hinder approach and departure. 

Inside, the Black Edition 

gets all the GLS specification 

goodies. Sure, there’s just cloth 

trim, but that’s far my preference 

anyway. All-up it represents a

• Performance – 0-100km/h,

• Fuel usage – 8.6l/100km 

good package and it will be a 

tempting proposition for those 

who want a ute with a difference. 

One of my neighbours 

purchased a Black Edition 

late last year, one of the main 

reasons he choose it against the 

myriad of other utes was the 

10-year driveline warranty that 

comes with Triton. That is a very 

reassuring element. 

I don’t know that I would be 

Black Edition buyer as I don’t 

have much of a need for fourwheel-drive, 

but a 2WD Triton 

double cab would serve my 

purpose well. I’ve long watched 

Mitsubishi’s marketing campaigns 

for Triton and I can report that 

over the years there have been 

many bargains in its line-up. 

Today, the entry level model 

lists at $32,990, that’s just one 

example, and if you look at what 

the Black Edition has to offer 

it could well be deemed to be a 

bargain as well.
