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

Report
shows
rise in
graffiti
• By Emily Moorhouse
THE HEATHCOTE and
Cashmere wards have seen an
increase in reported graffiti
during February, in spite of a citywide
decrease.
A snapshot of the number of
reported graffiti incidents has
shown an 18 per cent decrease
city-wide, however the Heathcote
and Cashmere wards showed the
most significant increases.
Heathcote
reported a 25
per cent increase
with 121 tickets
and Cashmere
a 20 per cent
increase with 57
tickets.
Heathcote
Ward councillor
Sara Templeton
said the increase
was “frustrating”.
Sara
Templeton
She also said she’d reported
graffiti in areas she hadn’t seen it
in before.
“It has an impact on how
residents feel about the
community and it’s also clearly a
cost to ratepayers to clean it up,”
she said.
The Spreydon Ward showed a
33 per cent decrease in reported
graffiti, however it still had 86
tickets.

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

Hansen recommended that
observance again and said
the NZRSA also had other
alternatives.
“We’re suggesting members of
the public go and lay their tribute
at a cenotaph or memorial in
their area at a time of their
choosing,” he said.
“Also pay a visit to your local
cemetery and go into the service
areas. Perhaps lay some flowers
on the graves, and remember for
a couple of minutes.
“There are hundreds of little
monuments all round the city
and suburbs that get overlooked.
“We’re urging people to go and
find them, read the history of
them, take an interest, take a bit
of ownership and do your own
tribute there.”
“They shouldn’t be forgotten,”
Hansen said.

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

Graffiti increase – report
• From page 1
“When people report graffiti
it’s removed quite quickly,”
Templeton said. “We’ve got a
network of both community
volunteers who go around and
report and remove graffiti on
council property, and contractors
who are able to do that.”
Templeton said it was hard to
predict what next month’s graffiti
report would look like.
“Past experience in my local
community has shown that
sometimes an increase is due to
specific people being in an area
at a certain time, rather than
broader stuff, and so it’s hard to
know what impact that might
have in the next month or so.”
However, city council head
of community support and
partnerships John Filsell said the
volunteers who monitor graffiti
are currently on stand-down due
to Covid, which could affect the
number of reported incidents.
Cashmere
Ward councillor
Tim Scandrett
said he thinks
it isn’t just
in Cashmere
where these
things are

“stepping up.”
“It just seems
right across the
board that petty
crime is rising, it is a concern and

said. “Crime seems to start at the
lower level and then expand up so
it would be really good to try and
get a bit more focus on this.”
Scandrett said while it is a
concern, he hopes police can
apprehend some of the people
doing the graffiti and reduce it,
although he understands police
are stretched at the moment.

Encouraging start to
pest control project
• By Susan Sandys
A $10 MILLION pest-control
operation has been launched at
Kaitōrete Spit near Birdlings Flat,
scoring 18 hedgehogs and one
stoat in its first four nights.
Pest Free Banks Peninsula staff
are rolling out 280 traps along
the 5500ha, 25km, spit in the
coming five weeks.
Last week they laid the first 50
traps, but not all were operational
each night as they had to make
improvements after gusts of wind
and mice set some off.
Project leader Sarah Wilson
said on Friday she and fellow staff
had been thrilled with the kill
count so far, and were looking
forward to ridding the area not
only of hedgehogs and stoats, but
also possums, feral cats, weasels
and ferrets.
“Hedgehogs might be known
by some as Mrs Tiggy-Winkles,
but in this country the number
of lizards and important
invertebrates they munch every
night, along with eggs and
chicks, is phenomenal,” Wilson
said.
“We were thrilled about the
stoat (caught on the first night) in
particular, because stoats are very
problematic, especially for the
banded dotterel.”
The spit is a breeding site for
the banded dotterel and other
bird species. It is home to two
flightless moth species, both

endemic to the spit, as well as the
katipō, several lizard species, and
threatened plants.
It is highly regarded for its
biodiversity, and was once a
major source of food for tangata
whenua and a key travel route for
Ngāi Tahu.
Team members are using a
mixture of kill and live capture
traps, which have remote
reporting nodes to show when
they have triggered.
Wilson said the project had
huge support from Taumutu
Rūnanga. Members had been
helping prevent reinvasion of the
spit by supporting a community
trapping project at Taumutu on
the southern end.
The five-year Pest Free Banks
Peninsula programme comprises
the spit and 23,000ha in the
Akaroa area.

The Paris Bookseller
a sweeping story of love, friendship and betrayal in
bohemian 1920s Paris by Kerri Maher
The captivating story of a trailblazing young woman who fought against incredible odds to bring one of
the most important books of the twentieth century to the world. For readers of The Paris Library,
The Age of Light and The Paris Wife. PARIS, 1919. Young, bookish Sylvia Beach knows there is no

so than between James Joyce and Sylvia herself. When Joyce’s controversial novel Ulysses is banned,

The Ghost Tattoo
discovering the hidden truth of my father’s Holocaust by
tony Bernard
The profoundly moving story of a son’s quest to uncover his father’s Holocaust secret. To the outside
world, Henry Bernard was a hard-working and beloved family doctor on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Yet
he was also a Holocaust survivor whose life was profoundly affected by the experiences of his past. He
took extreme steps for his family’s security, keeping a rifle near his bedroom and covering up his family’s
Jewish origin. He was obsessed with paying off debt - the German word for debt being the same as
the word for ‘guilt’. He kept his striped Auschwitz uniform with a picture of his mother in his wardrobe.
These obsessions helped destroy his marriage and restricted any hope he had of conventional domestic
happiness. But Henry had a bigger secret and a deeper shame about what he had done during the war.
He suffered privately until he began returning to Germany and Poland to confront his past and come to
terms with the deaths of his parents and of Halina, the love of his life. The Ghost Tattoo is the story of
how Tony Bernard, Henry’s eldest son, went on a forty-year journey with his father to solve the mystery
of why Henry was the way he was, and how he finally came to understand the desperate choices Henry
had made in the ghetto to try to keep himself and his family alive.
The Embroidered Book
by Kate Heartfield
A sweeping historical epic with a thread of magic, perfect for readers of THE FAMILIARS, THE BINDING,
and THE MINIATURIST.
‘Power is not something you are given. Power is something you take. When you are a woman, it is a
little more difficult, that’s all’
1768. Charlotte arrives in Naples to marry a man she has never met. Two years later, her sister Antoine
is sent to France to marry another stranger. In the mirrored corridors of Versailles, they rename her
Marie Antoinette. But the sisters are not powerless. When they were only children, Charlotte and Antoine
discovered a book of spells - spells that seem to work, with dark and unpredictable consequences.
In a world of vicious court politics, of discovery and dizzying change, Charlotte and Antoine use their
secret skills to redefine their lives, becoming the most influential women of the age. But every spell
requires a sacrifice. As love between the sisters turns to rivalry, they will send Europe spiralling into
revolution. Brimming with romance, betrayal, and the hidden power of women, THE EMBROIDERED
BOOK reveals and reimagines a dazzling period of history as you have never seen it before.
Dancing with the Machine
adventures of a rebel by Jo Morgan
Extraordinary escapades from a late-life adventurer. Mountaineer, adventurer, avid motorcyclist and
constant traveller, Jo Morgan has lived an extraordinary life. The youngest of eight children, Jo was
brought up largely by her mum after her father died when she was only one, and she has always had
an adventurous side. As soon as she turned 15, Jo got her driver licence and bought her first motorbike:
the start of a lifelong love affair. After meeting her future husband, Gareth Morgan, Jo got married and
had a baby. Instead of settling down, though, the couple bought a passenger bus to live in with their
children, setting the scene for a life less ordinary. Jo, along with Gareth and friends, has driven a
motorbike through more than 110 countries and visited nearly 140 countries in total. But she would
leave her greatest adventures till later in life when she took up climbing in her late fifties. She set herself a
goal of summiting all 24 of New Zealand’s 3000-metre-plus mountain peaks, with the help of her guide
and friend Wolfgang, nicknamed The Machine. They would ascend all but two of them before tragedy
struck, killing both Wolfgang and his colleague Martin. In Dancing with the Machine, Jo recounts the
remarkable, often hair-raising and occasionally tragic story of her unconventional life.

member
of New

squad for the 2016
World Cup, and now his

HE TAKES guard and the field

though Heathcote were on the

overs.

preceded him to the wicket last

boundary riders for four.
Then it was over – a skied
swipe was taken by Oscar Wilson
as Lancaster Park’s players
sighed with relief.
Stanley scored 13 from seven
balls – including a streaky french
cut – to list his season aggregate
to 1014 runs, comfortably a
career best.
Quizzed on the cornerstones
of this season’s run glut, the apprentice
builder offered a couple
of explanations
“I’d say it comes down to
playing with freedom, I suppose
fearlessness helps.”
‘Being aggressive has
always been part of my
game’
– Dan Stanley
Likewise, his occupation.
“I think that might have been a
key to my concentration as well.
I reckon I’ve also developed a
shovel shot, through the constant
shovelling as an apprentice,” he
said.
That new weapon has been a
significant contributor to one of
Stanley’s eye-catching stats as
the 2021-22 season has one day
– presumably one last knock –
remaining on Saturday.
Leading into the final day
against Lancaster Park, the left
hander had slugged 67 sixes;
Wilson was the closest challenger
with 32.
“A lot of that’s down to the
slog sweep shovel shot I’ve got
going on,” said Stanley, who also
boasted the highest strike rate
per hundred balls this season,
146.77 before the final round
of the two-day competition got
under way.
He needs 31 runs on Saturday
to eclipse Wilson’s aggregate of
1044 last season and regardless
of whether he posts the highest
tally since statistics combined
the one and two-day formats
(and then T20) in 1981-82, the
campaign has been an individual
triumph.
Stanley comfortably posted
a career high, exceeding last
season’s 769 at 32.04, the fourth
time he has amassed more than

500 runs since 2017-2018.
Scott Duggan (Lancaster Park)
is the second highest run scorer
with 750 while Stanley’s average
(48.28) is not inflated by not outs,
he has only one from 22 innings.
Centuries haven’t provided an
outlier either, Stanley has made
two 100s with a best of 138, a
blistering 75-ball assault including
16 boundaries and seven
sixes against East Christchurch
Shirley in the rain-shortened
two-day game at Heathcote Domain
in November.
“Being aggressive has always
been part of my game, but it’s
been a good season,” said Stanley,
who switched from Old Boys
Collegians last season because
he was living with family in
Heathcote.
South African-born Stanley,
who moved to New Zealand as a
five-year-old, now hopes weight
of runs translates to winter
training in the provincial A team
set-up for the former Canterbury
under-17 and under-19 representative.
“I’d like to be in that set-up,
hopefully one-day I’ll get an
opportunity, it’s something I’ve
strived for,” said Stanley, who
played in the same under-19 NZ
team as future Black Caps Glenn
Phillips, Rachin Ravindra and
Finn Allen at the World Cup in
2016.
Heathcote coach Mark Lane
believed promotion was warranted.
“If he’s given the opportunity
at the level above he has the
potential to step up and do well.
He’s putting runs together more
consistently and he’s proven he
has the ability to be a big hitter
and score quickly,” said Lane,
who coached Stanley in the
Christchurch Boys’ High School
first XI.
“It’s now up to the Canterbury
selectors to say: ‘Do we give this
guy a go and see whether he
can make the jump to the next
level?’.”
“You don’t come across batsmen
like that often. He’s just got
such power.”

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

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