Fearless approach<br />
to batting clocks<br />
up the runs<br />
Heathcote’s hard-hitting<br />
Dan Stanley played<br />
with future Black Caps<br />
as a member of New<br />
Zealand’s under-19<br />
squad for the 2016<br />
World Cup, and now his<br />
representative ambitions<br />
have been reignited<br />
through belligerent<br />
batting displays in the<br />
Christchurch premiership<br />
competition. Chris<br />
Barclay reports<br />
HE TAKES guard and the field<br />
automatically retreats on his<br />
leg side at St Albans Park, even<br />
though Heathcote were on the<br />
back foot, three down inside 11<br />
overs.<br />
Dan Stanley’s reputation<br />
preceded him to the wicket<br />
last Saturday, five balls into<br />
his innings there were five<br />
Lancaster Park players on the<br />
boundary, not that it proved<br />
a deterrent for Christchurch<br />
Metro premiership cricket’s<br />
leading run scorer.<br />

Anzac<br />
parades<br />
a Covid<br />
casualty<br />
• By Kristie Boland<br />
A STREET parade will not take<br />
place in Sumner or Akaroa this<br />
year, with the traditional Anzac<br />
Day dawn service a casualty as<br />
Covid-19 cases escalate.<br />
The Royal New Zealand<br />
Returned and Services’<br />
Association has decided<br />
alternative, lower key<br />
commemorations were more<br />
appropriate for April 25 as the<br />
Omicron variant spreads.<br />
“Anzac Day has certainly not<br />
been cancelled as such, but it<br />
will certainly be scaled right<br />
down to conform with Covid<br />
requirements. There will be no<br />
crowds, no parades,” said NZRSA<br />
Canterbury district president Stan<br />
Hansen.<br />
Sumner Redcliffs RSA will have<br />
a brief service at the memorial<br />
gates in Sumner at 11am on April<br />
25.<br />
It will be a shortened<br />
commemoration service. The Ode<br />
of Remembrance will be recited<br />
and reefs will be lain. There will<br />
also be a flag ceremony but with<br />
no speaker and no seating will be<br />
provided.<br />

FEARLESS, hard hitting and<br />
plenty of shovelling as an<br />
apprentice builder.<br />
That’s the formula that has<br />
propelled Dan Stanley to the<br />
top of the batting averages<br />
in premier club cricket this<br />
season (page 1).<br />
The Heathcote club man<br />
has developed a shovel shot<br />
which has been instrumental<br />
in his season aggregate so far<br />
of 1014 runs, comfortably a<br />
career best.<br />
“I’d say it comes down<br />
to playing with freedom, I<br />
suppose fearlessness helps,”<br />
he says.<br />
“I think that might<br />
have been a key to my<br />
concentration as well. I<br />
reckon I’ve also developed<br />
news<br />
a shovel shot, through the<br />
constant shovelling as an<br />
apprentice.”<br />
South African-born Stanley,<br />
who moved to New Zealand<br />
as a five-year-old, now hopes<br />
the weight of runs translates<br />
to winter training in the<br />

Encouraging start to pest control project<br />
• By Susan Sandys<br />
A $10 MILLION pest-control<br />
operation has been launched<br />
at Kaitōrete Spit near Birdlings<br />
Flat, scoring 18 hedgehogs<br />
and one stoat in its first four<br />
nights.<br />
Pest Free Banks Peninsula staff<br />
are rolling out 280 traps along<br />
the 5500ha, 25km, spit in the<br />
coming five weeks.<br />
Last week they laid the<br />
first 50 traps, but not all were<br />
operational each night as they<br />
had to make improvements after<br />
gusts of wind and mice set some<br />
off.<br />
Project leader Sarah Wilson<br />
said on Friday she and fellow<br />
staff had been thrilled with<br />
the kill count so far, and were<br />
looking forward to ridding the<br />
area not only of hedgehogs and<br />
stoats, but also possums, feral<br />
cats, weasels and ferrets.<br />
“Hedgehogs might be known<br />
by some as Mrs Tiggy-Winkles,<br />
but in this country the number<br />
of lizards and important<br />
invertebrates they munch every<br />
night, along with eggs and<br />
chicks, is phenomenal,” Wilson<br />
said.<br />
“We were thrilled about the<br />
stoat (caught on the first night)<br />
in particular, because stoats are<br />
very problematic, especially for<br />
the banded dotterel.”<br />
The spit is a breeding site for<br />
BIODIVERSITY: Pest Free Banks Peninsula team members Georgia Grace (left) and<br />
Jayden Lum install cameras on Kaitōrete Spit, which is a breeding site for the banded<br />
dotterel and many other species.<br />
the banded dotterel and other<br />
bird species. It is home to two<br />
flightless moth species, both<br />
endemic to the spit, as well as the<br />
katipō, several lizard species, and<br />
threatened plants.<br />
It is highly regarded for its<br />
biodiversity, and was once a<br />
major source of food for tangata<br />
whenua and a key travel route for<br />
Ngāi Tahu.<br />
Team members are using a<br />
mixture of kill and live capture<br />
traps, which have remote<br />
reporting nodes to show when<br />
they have triggered.<br />
Wilson said the project had<br />
huge support from Taumutu<br />
Rūnanga. Members had been<br />
helping prevent reinvasion of the<br />
spit by supporting a community<br />
trapping project at Taumutu on<br />
the southern end.<br />
Since June last year, Taumutu<br />
residents had caught 27 feral<br />
cats in live traps and had them<br />
humanely euthanised.<br />
The five-year Pest Free Banks<br />
Peninsula programme comprises<br />
the spit and <strong>23</strong>,000ha in the<br />
Akaroa area called the extended<br />
wildside.<br />
Key funders behind the<br />
organisation are Environment<br />
Canterbury, Predator Free<br />
2050 and the Department of<br />
Conservation. Its ultimate goal<br />
is to free Banks Peninsula from<br />
mammalian pests by 2050.<br />

Run Rose Run<br />
the most eagerly anticipated novel of <strong>2022</strong> by dolly<br />

From America’s most beloved superstar and its greatest storyteller - a thriller about a young singersongwriter<br />
on the rise and on the run, and determined to do whatever it takes to survive. FIND A FUTURE.<br />
LOSE A PAST. She’s a star on the<br />
rise, singing about the hard life<br />
behind her. She’s also on the run.<br />
Nashville is where she’s come to<br />

And destroy her . . RUN ROSE RUN:<br />
a story glittering with danger and<br />
desire. Also available: an album<br />
of 12 original Dolly Parton songs<br />
made for the novel!<br />
The Paris Bookseller<br />
a sweeping story of love, friendship and betrayal in<br />
bohemian 1920s Paris by Kerri Maher<br />
The captivating story of a trailblazing young woman who fought against incredible odds to bring one of<br />
the most important books of the twentieth century to the world. For readers of The Paris Library,<br />
The Age of Light and The Paris Wife. PARIS, 1919. Young, bookish Sylvia Beach knows there is no<br />
greater city in the world than Paris. But when she opens an English-language bookshop on the bohemian<br />
Left Bank, Sylvia can’t yet know she is making history.<br />
Many leading writers of the day, from Ernest Hemingway to Gertrude Stein, consider Shakespeare and<br />
Company a second home. Here some of the most profound literary friendships blossom - and none more<br />
so than between James Joyce and Sylvia herself. When Joyce’s controversial novel Ulysses is banned,<br />
Sylvia determines to publish it through Shakespeare and Company.<br />
But the success and notoriety of publishing the most infamous book of the century comes at deep<br />
personal cost as Sylvia risks ruin, reputation and her heart in the name of the life-changing power of<br />
books..<br />
The Ghost Tattoo<br />
discovering the hidden truth of my father’s Holocaust by<br />
tony Bernard<br />
The profoundly moving story of a son’s quest to uncover his father’s Holocaust secret. To the outside<br />
world, Henry Bernard was a hard-working and beloved family doctor on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Yet<br />
he was also a Holocaust survivor whose life was profoundly affected by the experiences of his past. He<br />
took extreme steps for his family’s security, keeping a rifle near his bedroom and covering up his family’s<br />
Jewish origin. He was obsessed with paying off debt - the German word for debt being the same as<br />
the word for ‘guilt’. He kept his striped Auschwitz uniform with a picture of his mother in his wardrobe.<br />
These obsessions helped destroy his marriage and restricted any hope he had of conventional domestic<br />
happiness. But Henry had a bigger secret and a deeper shame about what he had done during the war.<br />
He suffered privately until he began returning to Germany and Poland to confront his past and come to<br />
terms with the deaths of his parents and of Halina, the love of his life. The Ghost Tattoo is the story of<br />
how Tony Bernard, Henry’s eldest son, went on a forty-year journey with his father to solve the mystery<br />
of why Henry was the way he was, and how he finally came to understand the desperate choices Henry<br />
had made in the ghetto to try to keep himself and his family alive.<br />
The Embroidered Book<br />
by Kate Heartfield<br />
A sweeping historical epic with a thread of magic, perfect for readers of THE FAMILIARS, THE BINDING,<br />
and THE MINIATURIST.<br />
‘Power is not something you are given. Power is something you take. When you are a woman, it is a<br />
little more difficult, that’s all’<br />
1768. Charlotte arrives in Naples to marry a man she has never met. Two years later, her sister Antoine<br />
is sent to France to marry another stranger. In the mirrored corridors of Versailles, they rename her<br />
Marie Antoinette. But the sisters are not powerless. When they were only children, Charlotte and Antoine<br />
discovered a book of spells - spells that seem to work, with dark and unpredictable consequences.<br />
In a world of vicious court politics, of discovery and dizzying change, Charlotte and Antoine use their<br />
secret skills to redefine their lives, becoming the most influential women of the age. But every spell<br />
requires a sacrifice. As love between the sisters turns to rivalry, they will send Europe spiralling into<br />
revolution. Brimming with romance, betrayal, and the hidden power of women, THE EMBROIDERED<br />
BOOK reveals and reimagines a dazzling period of history as you have never seen it before.<br />
Dancing with the Machine<br />
adventures of a rebel by Jo Morgan<br />
Extraordinary escapades from a late-life adventurer. Mountaineer, adventurer, avid motorcyclist and<br />
constant traveller, Jo Morgan has lived an extraordinary life. The youngest of eight children, Jo was<br />
brought up largely by her mum after her father died when she was only one, and she has always had<br />
an adventurous side. As soon as she turned 15, Jo got her driver licence and bought her first motorbike:<br />
the start of a lifelong love affair. After meeting her future husband, Gareth Morgan, Jo got married and<br />
had a baby. Instead of settling down, though, the couple bought a passenger bus to live in with their<br />
children, setting the scene for a life less ordinary. Jo, along with Gareth and friends, has driven a<br />
motorbike through more than 110 countries and visited nearly 140 countries in total. But she would<br />
leave her greatest adventures till later in life when she took up climbing in her late fifties. She set herself a<br />
goal of summiting all 24 of New Zealand’s 3000-metre-plus mountain peaks, with the help of her guide<br />
and friend Wolfgang, nicknamed The Machine. They would ascend all but two of them before tragedy<br />
struck, killing both Wolfgang and his colleague Martin. In Dancing with the Machine, Jo recounts the<br />
remarkable, often hair-raising and occasionally tragic story of her unconventional life.<br />

‘It’s a nice feeling to give’<br />
• By Emily Moorhouse<br />
AN 8-YEAR-OLD’S act<br />
of kindness has not gone<br />
unnoticed.<br />
Emilee Dawson wanted to<br />
make sure others waiting in<br />
line at the petrol station weren’t<br />
getting thirsty after experiencing<br />
a lengthy wait with her mum.<br />
Emilee and her mum Phee<br />
Dawson had been in line for<br />
about half an hour to get fuel<br />
from the Woolston Waitomo,<br />
because prices were set to rise<br />
that evening.<br />
When the pair arrived at<br />
their home just across the street<br />
Emilee asked if she could go and<br />
give out free drinks to people<br />
also waiting in line.<br />
“They were sitting out there<br />
all afternoon and I didn’t want<br />
them to be thirsty like I was,”<br />
Emilee said.<br />
She filled up two trays<br />
with cups of juice, Coke and<br />
lemonade and, with her mum,<br />
walked them across the street to<br />
hand out.<br />
Her proud mum said she<br />
thought it was very sweet her<br />
little girl wanted to do this for<br />
others.<br />
Her kind act was<br />
acknowledged a few days later<br />
when a package from Waitomo<br />
arrived on their doorstep,<br />
addressed to Emilee.<br />
Emilee was delighted by the<br />
surprise and said the kiwi teddy<br />
was her favourite.<br />
When asked why she wanted<br />
to give out drinks Emilee said:<br />
“Well, because people will like<br />
you and you will have friends<br />
and it’s a nice feeling to give to<br />
people.<br />
“I feel it’s better to give than<br />
receive even though I still<br />
got stuff, which was nice, but<br />
it felt better giving out the<br />
drinks.”<br />
KINDNESS: Emilee Dawson<br />
received a gift from<br />
Waitomo after handing<br />
out free drinks to people<br />
waiting in line for fuel.<br />

Sumner Redcliffs RSA<br />
secretary Olwyn Palmer said<br />
although its a shame not to have<br />
a public service they would<br />
be following the Government<br />
guidelines.<br />
“Everybody [in the RSA] is<br />
of the age they are very accepting<br />
of people’s health and respectful.<br />
We think that’s more important.<br />
“We are doing something and<br />
commemorating them,” Palmer<br />
said.<br />
Banks Peninsula RSA will be<br />
doing something similar.<br />
“That is just the way world<br />
is at the moment,” said Banks<br />
Peninsula RSA president Jim<br />
Coubroughand.<br />
Coubroughand said they would<br />
be placing the sand crosses at the<br />
memorials in Akaroa and Little<br />
River as they did two years ago.<br />
“We ask people when they’re<br />
out near memorials if they wish,<br />
to place a poppy in the sand<br />
cross,” he said.<br />
The global pandemic<br />
meant there was no public<br />

“We’re suggesting members<br />

choosing,” he said.<br />
“Also pay a visit to your local<br />

on the graves, and remember for<br />
a couple of minutes.<br />
“There are hundreds of little<br />

“We’re urging people to go and<br />

Community patrol ‘date night’ for Ken<br />
The community patrol<br />
group helps keep us<br />
safe. Reporter Emily<br />
Moorhouse catches<br />
up with Christchurch<br />
South Community<br />
Patrol leader Ken Bye<br />
WHEN KEN Bye isn’t cycling,<br />
reading or gardening, he’s out<br />
keeping the community safe.<br />
The 69-year-old, of Somerfield,<br />
is the leader of the Christchurch<br />
South Community Patrol, a role<br />
he finds very rewarding.<br />
Ken is originally from<br />
Southland and came to<br />
Christchurch in 1971 to study<br />
before becoming a teacher at<br />
Linwood College.<br />
There, he taught social studies,<br />
history and English for 37 years,<br />
and held various roles, including<br />
dean, head of department and<br />
faculty head before retiring in<br />
2014.<br />
However, Ken says he “failed<br />
retirement” as it was only two<br />
months before he was teaching<br />
again at Cashmere High School<br />
as a part-time reliever.<br />
After realising relief teaching<br />
wasn’t for him, he joined the<br />
patrol in 2015 with his wife<br />
Sue, who had come across a<br />
stall promoting the group at<br />
Barrington Mall.<br />
Ken had never heard of the<br />
LOOKOUT: Ken and Sue Bye getting ready for a patrol shift.<br />
patrol before joining, but after<br />
meeting with the chairman he<br />
and Sue signed up.<br />
Ken says patrol shifts vary, but<br />
he usually goes out three or four<br />
times a month, one of which he<br />
is accompanied by Sue.<br />
The couple often call it their<br />
“date night” when logging<br />
in to comms at the beginning<br />
of a shift, and enjoy each other’s<br />
company while keeping a<br />
watchful eye on the community.<br />
Ken recalls a couple of weeks<br />
ago they came across a drunk<br />
man, propped up against the<br />
Christchurch Casino, who had<br />
fallen off his scooter.<br />
They made sure he wasn’t hurt<br />
and had a safe way of getting<br />
home before heading on their<br />
way.<br />
“Between the two of us I think<br />
being able to give something<br />
back to the community is really,<br />
really important, and it gets<br />
you out of the house,” Ken<br />
says.<br />
He still remembers his first<br />
training shift with Sue and<br />
two other experienced<br />
patrollers.<br />
They were responding to an<br />
“agitated woman” in Pioneer<br />
PHOTO: STAR MEDIA<br />
Stadium car park who’d had her<br />
wallet and keys stolen by a man<br />
who was still in the stadium.<br />
The ordeal resulted in a 111<br />
call that required the patrollers<br />
to wait with the woman until<br />
police arrived.<br />
“Being out there, working with<br />
the police, seeing things and<br />
being able to supply evidence to<br />
the police that will actually make<br />
a difference as part of the bigger<br />
picture,” Ken says. “I really like<br />
that idea.”<br />
Although it wasn’t necessarily<br />
about the big dramatic cases but<br />
rather the more communityfocused<br />
issues, such as working<br />
closely with local shop owners<br />
about their concerns and getting<br />
waves from the community<br />
when out on patrol.<br />
“They’re the things that are far<br />
more important and satisfying<br />
than saying ‘I was on the spot’<br />
and we might’ve been part of<br />
leading to a conviction,” Ken<br />
says. “It’s making a difference<br />
by the little things, not the big<br />
things.”<br />
Ken became the leader of the<br />
patrol three years ago, a position<br />
he was shoulder-tapped for as<br />
the previous leader was taking a<br />
break.<br />
For Ken, the role is about<br />
working with the team to ensure<br />
each person is the best patroller<br />
they can be.<br />
Despite the fulfilment of<br />
being the leader of the patrol,<br />
Ken acknowledges it’s a role you<br />
never quite get away from with<br />
the admin and ongoing phone<br />
calls.<br />
However, he says this is minor<br />
compared to the satisfaction that<br />
comes from the job.<br />
“You never quite know what<br />
you’re going to come across,”<br />
Ken says. “It’s being able to<br />
think that you’re contributing<br />
to the safety of the community,<br />
which I think is really important.<br />
“It’s that ongoing sense of<br />
service and making a difference.”<br />

Eye-catching stats for prolific run-scorer<br />
TARGET: Dan Stanley hopes a prolific run-scoring<br />
campaign with Heathcote will resurrect his<br />
representative career. PHOTO: JOHN COSGROVE<br />
• From page 1<br />
The 25-year-old ran the gauntlet,<br />
as he has throughout the season, his<br />
third scoring shot was a lofted six<br />
down the ground before he bisected<br />
two of the boundary riders for four.<br />
Then it was over – a skied swipe<br />
was taken by Oscar Wilson as<br />
Lancaster Park’s players sighed with<br />
relief.<br />
Stanley scored 13 from seven balls<br />
– including a streaky french cut –<br />
to list his season aggregate to 1014<br />
runs, comfortably a career best.<br />
Quizzed on the cornerstones of<br />
this season’s run glut, the apprentice<br />
builder offered a couple of explanations<br />
“I’d say it comes down to playing<br />
with freedom, I suppose fearlessness<br />
helps.”<br />
Likewise, his occupation.<br />
“I think that might have been a<br />
key to my concentration as well. I<br />
reckon I’ve also developed a shovel<br />
shot, through the constant shovelling<br />
as an apprentice,” he said.<br />
That new weapon has been a<br />
significant contributor to one of<br />
Stanley’s eye-catching stats as the<br />
2021-22 season has one day – presumably<br />
one last knock – remaining<br />
on Saturday.<br />
Leading into the final day against<br />
Lancaster Park, the left hander had<br />
slugged 67 sixes; Wilson was the<br />
closest challenger with 32.<br />
“A lot of that’s down to the slog<br />
sweep shovel shot I’ve got going on,”<br />
said Stanley, who also boasted the<br />
highest strike rate per hundred balls<br />
this season, 146.77 before the final<br />
round of the two-day competition<br />
got under way.<br />
He needs 31 runs on Saturday to<br />
eclipse Wilson’s aggregate of 1044<br />
last season and regardless of whether<br />
he posts the highest tally since<br />
statistics combined the one and<br />
two-day formats (and then T20) in<br />
1981-82, the campaign has been an<br />
individual triumph.<br />
‘I’ve also developed a shovel<br />
shot, through the constant<br />
shovelling as an apprentice’<br />
– Dan Stanley<br />
Stanley comfortably posted a<br />
career high, exceeding last season’s<br />
769 at 32.04, the fourth time he has<br />
amassed more than 500 runs since<br />
2017-2018.<br />
Scott Duggan (Lancaster Park) is<br />
the second highest run scorer with<br />
750 while Stanley’s average (48.28)<br />
is not inflated by not outs, he has<br />
only one from 22 innings.<br />
Centuries haven’t provided an<br />
outlier either, Stanley has made<br />
two 100s with a best of 138, a blistering<br />
75-ball assault including 16<br />
boundaries and seven sixes against<br />
East Christchurch Shirley in the<br />
rain-shortened two-day game at<br />
Heathcote Domain in November.<br />
“Being aggressive has always<br />
been part of my game, but it’s been<br />
a good season,” said Stanley, who<br />
switched from Old Boys Collegians<br />
last season because he was living<br />
with family in Heathcote.<br />
South African-born Stanley,<br />
who moved to New Zealand as a<br />
five-year-old, now hopes weight of<br />
runs translates to winter training in<br />
the provincial A team set-up for the<br />
former Canterbury under-17 and<br />
under-19 representative.<br />
“I’d like to be in that set-up,<br />
hopefully one-day I’ll get an opportunity,<br />
it’s something I’ve strived<br />
for,” said Stanley, who played in the<br />
same under-19 NZ team as future<br />
Black Caps Glenn Phillips, Rachin<br />
Ravindra and Finn Allen at the<br />
World Cup in 2016.<br />
Heathcote coach Mark Lane believed<br />
promotion was warranted.<br />
“If he’s given the opportunity at<br />
the level above he has the potential to<br />
step up and do well. He’s putting runs<br />
together more consistently and he’s<br />
proven he has the ability to be a big hitter<br />
and score quickly,” said Lane, who<br />
coached Stanley in the Christchurch<br />
Boys’ High School first XI.<br />
“It’s now up to the Canterbury<br />
selectors to say: ‘Do we give this guy<br />
a go and see whether he can make<br />
the jump to the next level?’.”<br />
“You don’t come across batsmen<br />
like that often. He’s just got such<br />
power.”<br />
Heathcote club captain David<br />
Stack agreed after copping punishment<br />
during training at Heathcote<br />
Domain.<br />
“I’ve bowled to him a lot in the<br />
nets this season and it does have<br />
the feel of being a five-year-old and<br />
bowling to your dad,” he said.<br />
“He hits the ball really hard.”<br />

Coastal Pathway full of complexities<br />
Hanno<br />
Sander<br />
from the<br />
Christchurch<br />
Coastal<br />
Pathway<br />
Group<br />
updates readers on the<br />
project<br />
YOU’VE PROBABLY noticed,<br />
the final section of Te Ara Ihutai<br />
Christchurch Coastal is now<br />
under construction.<br />
It’s taken more than a decade<br />
and the passion of scores of<br />
people to get to this point. In the<br />
coming months I’ll use this column<br />
to keep you up to date with<br />
the pathway, the projects that<br />
we’re working on and answer<br />
any questions that come up.<br />
First some background. Right<br />
after the February 22, 2011,<br />
earthquake, the Christchurch<br />
Coastal Pathway Group was<br />
founded on the vision to create a<br />
4m-wide shared pathway to connect<br />
people, land, and the sea.<br />
A memorandum of understanding<br />
between the CCPG<br />
and CCC was signed and the<br />
group formed a governance<br />
team with the city council and<br />
the Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />
Community Board who meet<br />
monthly.<br />
Our CCPG members are<br />
publicly elected volunteers<br />
passionate about creating an<br />
internationally high standard<br />
coastal pathway extending from<br />
Ferrymead Bridge to Scarborough<br />
Beach.<br />
Shortly after I was elected chair<br />
of the CCPG, city councillor Sara<br />
Templeton informed me that the<br />
project was selected to receive<br />
funding from Ōtākaro to complete<br />
the project as part of the Government<br />
shovel-ready funding.<br />
Since then, the CCPG has<br />
worked diligently with the<br />
city council to finalise detailed<br />
construction plans. We’ve jointly<br />
held several community outreach<br />
events to review detailed<br />
plans with the community. To<br />
ensure that we preserve existing<br />
community treasures like the<br />
yacht club beach, the historical<br />
wall, and our estuary we’ve<br />
worked closely with various<br />
community groups.<br />
“Jewels” are our term for further<br />
enhancements to the basic<br />
path – in the past we’ve fundraised<br />
and installed plantings,<br />
seatings, bike stands – but we’re<br />
working on even more for the<br />
future, there will be more about<br />
that in a future column.<br />
Late last year Fulton Hogan<br />
was awarded the tender by our<br />
partners at city council. They’ve<br />
already completed some exploratory<br />
excavation to guide future<br />
efforts and are about to start on<br />
upgrading the sewer and water<br />
services west of Shag Rock to<br />
make room for the cantilevered<br />
pathway in that section. They’ll<br />
be completing some of this work<br />
at night-time to reduce traffic<br />
impact and minimise disruption<br />
to the public. They need to do<br />
this work now because penguins<br />
that had been nesting near the<br />
worksite have now left their<br />
nests – this project if is full of<br />
complexities.<br />
Please look after our road<br />
workers by sticking to the reduced<br />
30km/h speed limit when<br />
driving through the roadworks<br />
site.<br />
Also look for merging cyclists<br />
and pedestrians at temporary<br />
crossings.<br />

Reacting to Little River fire siren in 60sec<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News<br />
continues its series on<br />
our fire chiefs. Reporter<br />
Kristie Boland talks to<br />
Little River Volunteer<br />
Fire Brigade chief John<br />
Genefaas<br />
IT’S LESS than a minute’s<br />
drive in a straight line for John<br />
Genefaas to get to the Little River<br />
Volunteer Fire Brigade.<br />
It’s less than a minute to get<br />
to most places in the small rural<br />
town, but that’s just how Genefaas<br />
likes it.<br />
With a population of just<br />
under 300, it’s a tight-knit community.<br />
“It’s just a different atmosphere<br />
than Canterbury. I personally<br />
like it because it’s a smaller community,<br />
you know more people,”<br />
Genefaas said.<br />
Originally from Holland, when<br />
Genefaas was four-years-old,<br />
his father saw an advertisement<br />
in a newspaper for a job in New<br />
Zealand.<br />
The Genefaas family packed<br />
up their belongings and moved<br />
to New Zealand to settle in<br />
Christchurch.<br />
Genefaas, the middle child of<br />
six, said he felt like he fitted in as<br />
a Kiwi right from the get go.<br />
Although he said he has kept<br />
one Dutch attribute, he doesn’t<br />
beat around the bush and calls it<br />
how it is.<br />
“I call a spade a spade,” he said.<br />
Growing up, his family lived<br />
beside the Bottle Lake plantation,<br />
Burwood.<br />
“There was lots of land we<br />
could play on. We weren’t really<br />
allowed there so we used to get<br />
chased out of there,” Genefaas<br />
said.<br />
Genefaas said he was never<br />
really into sport or the outdoors<br />
growing up. But in his teenage<br />
years he did enjoy a few drinks<br />
with his mates.<br />
After high school, Genefaas<br />
worked on a farm for a while in<br />
Marshland.<br />
When he reached his early 20s,<br />
he and his brother made friends<br />
with a couple of Aussies who<br />
were touring New Zealand. The<br />
brothers later decided to go and<br />
LOYAL: John Genefaas has been part of the Little River Volunteer Fire Brigade for 29 years.<br />
visit their friends in Australia<br />
where Genefaas ended up staying<br />
for six years.<br />
He took up many roles there,<br />
one being a milkman, another<br />
working on the oil rigs.<br />
Genefaas was married and<br />
later divorced while in Australia.<br />
He had two children Jeremy and<br />
Raymond from his first marriage<br />
that came home with him to<br />
New Zealand.<br />
Genefaas met his current wife,<br />
Christine, whom he has been<br />
married to for 35 years and had<br />
two more boys with, Allan and<br />
Izaak. Christine also already had<br />
a daughter Maxine.<br />
All of their children are now in<br />
their mid-30s to early-40s and some<br />
have had children of their own.<br />
When Izaak was 18 he joined<br />
the fire brigade with his father.<br />
He now lives in Canada with his<br />
wife and two children.<br />
Genefaas and Christine lived<br />
in Southshore which Genefaas<br />
said felt quite rural. It was from<br />
there they decided it might be<br />
nice to move out to the country.<br />
Living in the country meant<br />
growing up, the Genefaas’ kids<br />
got to enjoy an abundance of<br />
pets including sheep, goats,<br />
ducks, rabbits, guinea pigs, cats<br />
and a dog.<br />
Genefaas, now works maintaining<br />
the Wainui YMCA.<br />
He has been a part of the Little<br />
River Volunteer Fire Brigade for<br />
29 years, deputy chief for 10 of<br />
those years and chief for three.<br />
He joined because like most<br />
volunteers, he wanted to help his<br />
community.<br />
Genefaas said the brigade is a<br />
tight-knit group. He enjoys the<br />
camaraderie and the personal<br />
development that comes with<br />
being a part of the fire and emergency<br />
organisation.<br />
Genefaas lives very close to the<br />
station.<br />
“You hear the siren. I’d hear it<br />
go at night and think I’m glad I<br />
don’t have to get up but then it<br />
turned at that I joined and then I<br />
did have to get up,” he said.<br />
The Little River brigade is<br />
currently low on numbers with<br />
only 14 people and Genefaas encourages<br />
those interested to join<br />
them, especially those who can<br />
be available during the day.<br />
“We take all sorts of people.<br />
We’d love to get some more<br />
women in the brigade. We have<br />
one woman there now and she is<br />
probably the most capable in the<br />
brigade,” Genefaas said.<br />

– Seeing the Lines – we protect<br />
what we know, we know what we<br />
see. Friday-Sunday for the month of<br />
<strong>March</strong> 10am-4pm. By artists Karen<br />
Greenslade, Carolyn Currie and Vic<br />
Mangan. Through its responses to<br />
the physical landscape and natural<br />
elements of the Banks Peninsula,<br />
Seeing the Lines reframes the region’s<br />
native Taonga by foregrounding it<br />
in the local environment and the<br />
art of this exhibition. In this group<br />
show at Stoddart Cottage Gallery,<br />
Karen Greenslade, Carolyn Currie and<br />
Vic Mangan seek to counter plant<br />
blindness, when plants exist as a<br />
backdrop to our lives and art prioritises<br />
the human figure. The artists have<br />
moved their collaborative art practices<br />
away from purely decorative floral<br />
vistas, to an engagement with the<br />
less obviously aesthetically engaging<br />
endemic plants of the place inhabited,<br />
reflecting the contemporary shift in<br />
concerns towards ecology and the local<br />
environment. Stoddart Cottage Gallery,<br />

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
Treasures from the past:<br />
Shackleton and the Endurance<br />
NEWS 19<br />
WITH THE news on <strong>March</strong> 10<br />
that the Antarctic exploration<br />
ship Endurance had been found<br />
3000m deep in the Weddell Sea,<br />
Te Ūaka The Lyttelton Museum<br />
highlights their collection of this<br />
item – a portrait of Sir Ernest<br />
Shackleton, presented by the<br />
explorer himself to the Lyttelton<br />
Branch of the British and<br />
Foreign Sailors Society, possibly<br />
in 1907.<br />
THe museum would like to<br />
hear from anyone who has<br />
information that can confirm<br />
when Shackleton donated his<br />
portrait.<br />
The team of Endurance22, led<br />
by the Falklands Maritime Heritage<br />
Trust, is responsible for the<br />
incredible achievement of finding<br />
and filming the vessel. The<br />
ship is in a remarkably well-preserved<br />
condition due to the lack<br />
of wood-eating organisms in the<br />
freezing temperatures. Largely<br />
intact, she lies just 6.5km from<br />
the coordinates originally taken<br />
by sextant by New Zealander<br />
Frank Worsley.<br />
Shackleton took part in the<br />
voyage of the Discovery in<br />
1901-1903 led by Robert Falcon<br />
Scott, during which he, Scott and<br />
Wilson all suffered significant<br />
ill health due to snow blindness,<br />
Portrait of Sir Ernest Shackleton, presented by him to the<br />
Lyttelton Branch of the British and Foreign Sailors Society,<br />
circa 1907.<br />
frostbite and scurvy in a march<br />
towards the South Pole.<br />
Once back at the ship, Shackleton<br />
was sent by Scott on an<br />
early return to New Zealand<br />
to convalesce. The expedition<br />
highlighted the differences in<br />
the two men’s personalities and<br />
leadership styles – Shackleton<br />
was popular among the men,<br />
strong under pressure, and Scott<br />
possibly resented that.<br />
That journey clearly fuelled<br />
Shackleton’s determination to<br />
return to Antarctica; after a few<br />
years spent in journalism and<br />
politics, he achieved this ambition<br />
with the 1907-1909 Nimrod<br />
expedition.<br />
Together with Wild, Marshall<br />
and Adams, Shackleton attained<br />
a new southern latitude just<br />
112km shy of the pole and found<br />
the Beardmore Glacier and the<br />
south polar plateau.<br />
Other members of the expedition<br />
– Edgeworth David,<br />
Douglas Mawson, and Alistair<br />
Mackay, thought they identified<br />
the South Magnetic Pole and<br />
made the first successful ascent<br />
of Mt Erebus.<br />
On his return to England,<br />
Shackleton was hailed a hero,<br />
gave lectures and made many<br />
social appearances; activities<br />
which he also undertook in New<br />
Zealand.<br />
His fame enabled him to fundraise,<br />
mainly from private donations,<br />
for his next expedition;<br />
the grandly named Imperial<br />
Trans-Antarctic Expedition,<br />
1914–1917.<br />
The goal was to cross Antarctica<br />
from the Weddell to the<br />
Ross Sea, via the South Pole.<br />
Two ships were involved, the<br />
Endurance captained by Frank<br />
Worsley, and the Aurora, led by<br />
Lieutenant J Stenhouse.<br />
Disaster struck in January 1915<br />
when the Endurance became<br />
stuck in severe conditions in the<br />
ice floe of the Weddell Sea.<br />
The hope was that the ship<br />
would be released from the ice’s<br />
frozen grip in spring, but in<br />
October it became obvious that<br />
she was being crushed by the extreme<br />
pressure and in November<br />
she sank beneath the surface.<br />
Photographer Frank Hurley<br />
documented the ship’s demise<br />
and the men’s plight camping<br />
on the constantly moving and<br />
shrinking floes in many haunting<br />
images.<br />
The incredible story of the<br />
men’s perilous lifeboat journey<br />
to Elephant Island, survival there<br />
and subsequent 1300km journey<br />
across the open sea to South<br />
Georgia and ultimate rescue, is<br />
one for another day.<br />
The hardships of those experiences<br />
did not diminish Shackleton’s<br />
passion for the south and in<br />
1921, in spite of health problems<br />
exacerbated by drinking, he<br />
embarked from England on the<br />
Quest.<br />
Tragically, he died suddenly of<br />
a heart attack on board that ship<br />
in South Georgia on January 5,<br />
1922, at the age of 47 and was<br />
buried there at Grytviken.<br />
How fitting that his ship<br />
should be found 100 years after<br />
his death.<br />

Observers may be surprised to find this quintessential<br />
Lyttelton cottage, tucked behind a<br />
picket fence, is barely six years young.<br />
Retaining the charm and character of an<br />
earlier era, including high ceilings, periodstyle<br />

fretwork, you also gain the considerable<br />
comfort of current construction methodology.<br />
Contemporary hues and timber-toned<br />

efficient floorplan is complemented by fresh<br />
paintwork, new drapes, and just-laid carpet.<br />
Open plan living borders a practical dine-in<br />
kitchen, with warmth infusing the home<br />

Both bedrooms are doubles, conveniently<br />

It's an easy transition out the back door and<br />
down the ramp to a low-maintenance backyard,<br />
where the freehold parcel also includes a<br />
sizable storage shed and clothesline.<br />
From the quaint front porch, you'll catch sight<br />
of the bustling harbour and in less than two<br />
blocks you're in the midst of London Street's<br />
eateries and services, not to mention the famed<br />
weekend Farmer's Market.<br />
No need for a car when everything is so<br />
walkable, from public transport links to the<br />
network of Port Hills hiking and biking trails,<br />
and in-zone Lyttelton Primary School is just<br />
down the street.<br />

French flair to the fore in Citroen C4<br />
I’VE BEEN hearing horror<br />
stories from new car buyers,<br />
those who have been waiting for<br />
almost a year for cars they have<br />
ordered.<br />
Nearly all of the world’s car<br />
makers have been affected by<br />
component supply shortages<br />
due to Covid-19 creating<br />
manufacturing issues;<br />
subsequently, lengthy wait lists<br />
have developed.<br />
To top it off there’s a<br />
distribution issue globally and<br />
none more so than in New<br />
Zealand where it’s been reported<br />
that at any given time thousands<br />
of cars are waiting to be<br />
transported island to island.<br />
It’s the high volume distributors<br />
that have been affected most,<br />
companies that have smaller<br />
turnovers seem to be soldiering<br />
on with just enough product to<br />
keep the accountants happy.<br />
At a local level the Armstrong<br />
Motor Group is ticking over<br />
nicely with its new car range –<br />
Subaru, Peugeot and Citroen.<br />
I’ve been very fortunate to have<br />
sampled five models from this<br />
dealership in the last few months<br />
with their new demonstrator<br />
models being made available to<br />
me, and I’m most grateful for<br />
that.<br />
One to come my way from the<br />
Armstrong showroom is Citroen’s<br />
new C4, a cheeky liftback that<br />
almost borders the sport utility<br />
vehicle market.<br />
As mentioned, Citroen isn’t a<br />
big player in New Zealand, but<br />
if you study the product line-up<br />
you’ll find practical, affordable<br />
vehicles that are thoroughly<br />
appealing through their design<br />
flair. I guess you’d expect nothing<br />
less from this French car maker<br />
which has had a reputation for<br />
bold styling cues, designs that<br />
are a considerable part of their<br />
appeal.<br />
The C4 arrives here in just one<br />
specification and it gets a 1.2-litre<br />
turbocharged three-cylinder<br />
engine which has been used<br />
widely across Citroen’s range and<br />
in some Peugeot models.<br />
I can safely say the threecylinder<br />
layout is it is one of my<br />
favourite engine types and in the<br />
C4 it is quiet, smooth, and doesn’t<br />
overly let the occupants know of<br />
its design through the harmonics<br />
often associated with its three-pot<br />
layout.<br />
The twin-camshaft petrol<br />
engine is listed with a 114kW<br />
power rating along with<br />
240Nm of torque, these are<br />
healthy outputs, and if you<br />
take into account where they<br />
are developed – 5500rpm and<br />
USER-FRIENDLY: The interior features a clever tablet holder.<br />
CITROEN C4: Bold styling cues and aggressive frontal treatment.<br />
1750rpm respectively – then<br />
there becomes an immediate<br />
sense of acceleration. Add in<br />
the light weight of the C4 at just<br />
1267kg and it feels feisty and<br />
lively. Citroen claim a standstill<br />
to 100km/h time of 8.9sec, which<br />
is all the acceleration you need in<br />
today’s motoring environment.<br />
Drive is channelled through<br />
a conventional eight-speed<br />
automatic transmission, if you<br />
take into account the seemingly<br />
endless supply of ratios, there is<br />
reasonable harmony and gearing<br />
which enhances that eager engine<br />
feel, along with healthy fuel<br />
economy.<br />
The latter is listed by Citroen<br />
at 6.1-litres usage per 100km on<br />
a combined cycle average. The<br />
evaluation car’s dash display<br />
was constantly sitting around<br />
7.4l/100km, which was a good<br />
figure given the car was brand<br />
new and I guess somewhat tight.<br />
If you also take into<br />
consideration the C4’s weight,<br />
then it has benefits in all areas,<br />
the engine isn’t working hard<br />
to maintain momentum, hence<br />
the light fuel load, there is also<br />
a feel through the chassis and<br />
suspension that promotes a<br />
sporty sensation.<br />
The suspension deserves a<br />
worthy mention, it gets what<br />
Citroen describe as a progressive<br />
hydraulic cushion system.<br />
Put simply, what appear<br />
• Price – Citroen C4, $41,990<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
4360mm; width,<br />
1800mm; height, 1525mm<br />
• Configuration – Threecylinder,<br />
front-wheeldrive,<br />
1199cc, 114kW,<br />
240Nm, eight-speed<br />
automatic<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 8.9sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 6.1l/100km<br />
to be conventional shock<br />
absorbers actually incorporate<br />
two hydraulic stops, one for<br />
compression and one for<br />
decompression, they dissipate<br />
energy from road bumps, helping<br />
to create a smooth ride.<br />
In effect, the ride is well<br />
cushioned. There is a road I<br />
often eke out when on a highway<br />
journey, it’s near Darfield and<br />
tree roots have been growing<br />
under the road for a distance<br />
of about 1km making the road<br />
rippled which makes for a good<br />
suspension test, the C4 has a<br />
controlled, comfortable ride.<br />
The C4’s styling isn’t radical as<br />
it could be, but it is a departure<br />
from the norm. The interior is<br />
modernistic and minimalist in<br />
its detailing, however, it all works<br />
cosmetically.<br />
I particularly like the<br />
panoramic roof which has an<br />
electric internal blind and it very<br />
much adds to the character of<br />
the car, it is a $2990 option, but it<br />
represents the ideology of C4.<br />
In terms of specification, the C4<br />
is also well appointed. You get all<br />
of the kit you’d expect on a $42k<br />
car with many of the functions<br />
operated by voice recognition<br />
technology.<br />
Satellite navigation is fitted<br />
along with head-up display,<br />
steering wheel-mounted paddle<br />
gear shifters and driver-selectable<br />
drive modes – eco, normal and<br />
sport. The C4 incorporates all<br />
things practical in a modern,<br />
stylish package. There is one<br />
feature that really appealed to my<br />
wife as a passenger and that is the<br />
Smart Pad Support device, a clever<br />
retractable system that connects<br />
to the dashboard, enabling the<br />
front passenger to securely<br />
attach their tablet for use on any<br />
journey, when not in use it slides<br />
seamlessly back into the facia.<br />
For other passengers the C4 is<br />
a compact five-seater, but there<br />
is also good cargo room for<br />
the inevitable items we always<br />
travel with. On that subject, the<br />
rear load space can extend from<br />
380-litres to 1250-litres.<br />
Built with traditional Citroen<br />
values, the C4 is a funky purchase<br />
for anyone who dares to be<br />
different. The last model sold<br />
well in New Zealand, and I’m<br />
expecting the newcomer to be<br />
just as popular.<br />
has motoring covered!<br />

Working hard for<br />
Banks Peninsula<br />
It is a real privilege to have been elected as your local MP.<br />
As your MP, I think it is important to keep in touch with my<br />
constituents to let you know about the work that I am doing, both<br />
here in Banks Peninsula or representing you in Wellington.<br />
Since being elected, it’s been a privilege to work with the<br />
community on some important issues.<br />
The Lyttelton community has secured a big win<br />
with a law change to provide fairer funding for seafarer’s<br />
welfare centres. So shipping companies help cover the costs of<br />
meeting our obligations to seafarers in our ports. In the Opawaho-<br />
Heathcote catchment, the Cashmere Stream Working Group has<br />
secured $1.6 million for community-lead ecological restoration<br />
through the Jobs for Nature scheme.<br />
Te Ara Ihutai, the Christchurch Coastal Pathway is getting closer<br />
and closer to completion, with Government’s Shovel Ready Funding<br />
scheme delivering $15.8 million to this project which will link up<br />
the bays for walking and cycling.<br />
And there’s other issues we’re still working hard to<br />
get an outcome:<br />
I’m standing alongside the Bromley community as they<br />
fight to move the Council’s odorous compost plant<br />
that’s been affecting their lives for far too long.<br />
Traffic safety is a big concern for residents: in Woolston,<br />
residents living along Radley Street have told me that they think<br />
their street has too many trucks and too many people driving too<br />
fast. In Halswell, I’ve raised traffic safety along the Halswell Road<br />
corridor with Waka Kotahi. As the Halswell area grows, we need<br />
investment in safer streets.<br />
On the Peninsula, from Cass <strong>Bay</strong> to Goughs <strong>Bay</strong>, digital<br />
connectivity is a massive issue. Whether that’s raising the issue<br />
of cell phone towers through the Rural Connectivity group or<br />
advocating for broadband rollouts, I’m committed to seeing a<br />
connected Peninsula.<br />
If there’s a way<br />
you think we could<br />
work together to<br />
solve a problem in<br />
your community,<br />
please get in touch.<br />

Strong communities<br />
and local heroes<br />
The best part of this job has been connecting<br />
with residents and community groups —<br />
Whether that’s local schools, churches, community sheds, local firefighters, community<br />
patrols, residents associations or community centres. With COVID-19 the way we connect with<br />
each other is different sometimes, but please don’t hesitate to reach out.<br />
Here’s a few of<br />
the community stars<br />
I’ve had the privilege<br />
to meet this term.<br />
Steve Bush from Trees for Canterbury.<br />
Trees for Canterbury is a nursery with purpose:<br />
growing native trees for ecological restoration and<br />
providing pathways to employment. It was a pleasure<br />
to visit this Woolston enterprise<br />
and meet manager Steve Bush.<br />
Sikh community.<br />
Our wonderful neighbours down Ferry Road<br />
at Gurudwara Singh Sabha Christchurch<br />
transformed their place of worship into a pop-up<br />
vaccine clinic – they have proudly had 3000 people<br />
so far come in for their vaccinations and delicious<br />
food! Thank you so much.<br />
Pop-up Vaccine Clinic at Ferry Road New World.<br />
The Ferry Road New World stepped up to help<br />
out with the vaccine drive, and more recently the<br />
booster drive, by hosting this pop-up vaccine clinic.<br />
It was a pleasure to bring the Prime Minister down<br />
and show her some Woolston hospitality!<br />
Local Community Patrollers.<br />
With Police Minister Hon Poto Williams, I met our<br />
community patrollers. It’s a voluntary role that<br />
see these stars head out to keep an eye on their<br />
neighbourhoods and keep our communities safe.<br />
Alan and Ollie from Ferrymead <strong>Bay</strong>s Football Club.<br />
Sport is a big part of our lives here in Banks<br />
Peninsula, whether that’s surfing off Taylor’s Mistake,<br />
cricket at the Heathcote Domain or Chatham Cup<br />
football on Garrick Park – it’s about balance in our<br />
lives and it’s about social connection. Ferrymead<br />
<strong>Bay</strong>s are a great community club.
