Dan’s dilemma as<br />
wicket record looms<br />
• By Jaime Cunningham<br />
SUMNER CRICKET veteran<br />
Dan Vann faces a dilemma this<br />
weekend.<br />
He is three wickets away from<br />
reaching a milestone of 500 for<br />
the club. But his team needs to<br />
bat the majority of Saturday’s<br />
match against Lancaster Park<br />
to avoid relegation to division 1<br />
next season.<br />
That means he may not get<br />
much chance to bowl in the<br />
last game of the season, and<br />
to complicate matters, the<br />
39-year-old may not return<br />
next season. He is thinking of<br />
playing less cricket next season,<br />
and filling in for the club’s top<br />
side when needed.<br />
The humble club man – who<br />
is more than just a bowler –<br />
says Saturday’s focus is on the<br />
team’s result, not him. Vann is<br />
also the team’s player-coach,<br />
vice-captain, the club captain,<br />
and in charge of the side’s gear.<br />
“If we can win or draw this<br />
week, we don’t get relegated,”<br />
Vann said.<br />

VETERAN’S COUNTDOWN TO MILESTONE<br />
PREDICAMENT:<br />
Dan Vann is<br />
nearing his 500th<br />
career wicket for<br />
Sumner, but his<br />
chances could<br />
be limited in<br />
the last game of<br />
the season on<br />
Saturday.<br />
Chance<br />
dolphins<br />
still around<br />
during<br />
SailGP race<br />
• By Tony Simons<br />
A DOLPHIN expert said hectors<br />
dolphins that delayed the Sail GP<br />
racing were probably still on or<br />
near the racecourse when racing<br />
went ahead.<br />
Sail GP organisers reported<br />
racing on Whakaraupō Lyttelton<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> on Saturday was delayed<br />
by 40 minutes after a dolphin was<br />
sighted on the racecourse – but<br />
there was more than one, a fact<br />
New Zealand team driver Peter<br />
Burling later acknowledged.<br />
“We were fortunate they<br />
decided to shift off and let us get<br />
three races in,” he said.<br />
Said dolphin expert<br />
Prof Liz Slooten:<br />
“How would<br />
you know they had<br />
moved off?”<br />
The Sail GP race<br />
management plan<br />
stated if dolphins<br />
were sighted near Liz Slooten<br />
the racecourse<br />
racing would be delayed or<br />
stopped entirely until they left of<br />
their own accord.<br />
Slooten questioned whether the<br />
dolphins had moved away or were<br />
simply no longer able to be seen.<br />

‘Pretty special’ to see dolphins<br />

Slooten, formerly with<br />
the Otago University<br />
zoology department, said<br />
there was an extremely<br />
high chance the dolphins<br />
were still around.<br />

Piece of history lost with<br />
theft of tennis club gate<br />
• By Heidi Slade<br />
All JilliAN Frater wants is<br />
to see her 100-year-old tennis<br />
club’s gate returned.<br />
The Lyttelton Tennis Club<br />
committee member discovered<br />
the wrought iron gate had been<br />
stolen two weeks ago, when she<br />
visited the club.<br />
“It’s a shame,’’ Frater said.<br />
“It (the gate) has been there<br />
for decades and now someone’s<br />
taken it away.”<br />
Hidden from the street, the<br />
thief would have had to peer<br />
through trees and over bushes<br />
to even be able to see the gate,<br />
she said.<br />
Frater, who has lived in Lyttelton<br />
for more than 30 years,<br />
estimates the club itself – gate<br />
and all – has been around since<br />
about 1919. It was previously<br />
known as Te Whaka Tennis<br />
Club.<br />
Local resident Jane McBride<br />
said the thief had stolen something<br />
from everyone.<br />
“A very special feeling of<br />
history is now lost to everyone<br />
else because someone decided to<br />
steal away this part of our past,’’<br />
McBride said.<br />
Frater reported the theft to the<br />
city council on <strong>March</strong> 13. She<br />
also reported it to the police.<br />
City council community parks<br />
manager Al Hardy said the gate<br />
was the council’s responsibility.<br />
“We are in the process of<br />
getting it replaced,’’ Hardy said.<br />
Frater has contacted companies<br />
in Christchurch that might<br />
have been sold the gate. She has<br />
asked them to keep an eye out.<br />
“Apparently they’re stolen all<br />
the time,’’ she said.<br />

PARIS - The Memoir<br />
by Paris hilton<br />
The roles Paris embraces as a fully realized woman. With courage, honesty, and<br />
humour, Paris Hilton is ready to take stock, place it all in context and share her<br />
story with the world. Separating the creation from the creator, the brand from the<br />
ambassador, Paris: The Memoir strips away all we thought we knew about a celebrity<br />
icon, taking us back to a privileged childhood lived through the lens of undiagnosed<br />
ADHD, a teenage rebellion that triggered a panicked – and perilous – decision by her<br />
parents. Led to believe they were saving their child’s life, Paris’s mother and father had<br />
her kidnapped and saw her sent to a series of ‘emotional growth boarding schools’,<br />
where she survived almost two years of verbal, physical and sexual abuse. In the<br />
midst of a hell we now call the ‘troubled teen industry’, Paris created a beautiful inner<br />
world where the ugliness couldn’t touch her. She came out, resolving to trust no-one<br />
but herself as she transformed that fantasy world into a multibillion-dollar reality. Paris<br />
shows us her path to peace while she challenges us to question our role in her story<br />
and in our own.<br />

recreated himself, both as a man and as a musician. This is an in-depth and revealing<br />
exploration of his creative life beyond the Beatles-featuring hundreds of interviews with<br />
fellow musicians, tour managers, recording engineers, producers, filmmakers, and more.<br />
Beside his extraordinary, creative solo output, he has collaborated with the most influential<br />
artists of his generation and the next: from Elvis Costello to Stevie Wonder, from Michael<br />
Jackson to Dave Grohl, even with Johnny Cash and Kanye West. McCartney, too, has<br />
explored new poetry styles with Allen Ginsburg and teamed up with Peter Martins and<br />
the NYC Ballet to create Ocean’s Kingdom. The list goes on from there. And he has done<br />
all this post-Beatles and while maintaining a mostly normal family life. Paul McCartney<br />
has lived ten lifetimes in the span of one and become increasingly more relevant, yet<br />
curiously, his creative output since the Beatles has never had the full exploration such a<br />
life and body of work demands.<br />

Design a nod to hotel’s early days<br />
• By Tony Simons<br />
DEVELOPERS have revealed<br />
what will replace the landmark<br />
pink Ali Barber’s building in<br />
Sumner.<br />
Brooksfield Townhouses is<br />
developing the site and the images<br />
(right) reveal the new Marriner<br />
St building will be typical of the<br />
company’s design style, reflecting<br />
heritage and character.<br />
The existing building was<br />
originally Geo Vincent’s Hotel,<br />
which dated back to the late 1800s<br />
and was a place where travellers<br />
from Christchurch used to stay.<br />
Vincents went on to became a<br />
boarding house, Sunleigh Flats,<br />
then a children’s home for a short<br />
time, before being turned into<br />
flats again.<br />
Brooksfield<br />
director Vincent<br />
Holloway said the<br />
company’s design<br />
style generally<br />
revolves around<br />
classical heritage.<br />
Vincent<br />
Holloway<br />
Brooksfield<br />
employed English<br />
architect Ben<br />
Pentreath to<br />
design the building. Pentreath<br />
had designed the King Charles III<br />
supported Poundbury, a heritage<br />
precinct in Dorchester, England.<br />
The Sumner apartments are all<br />
under contract, Holloway said.<br />
They were snapped up as soon<br />
as the architect’s drawings were<br />
released, about four weeks ago.<br />

Vann aims to end season on a high note<br />
• From page 1<br />
“Ideally we’ll bat for most of<br />
the day, but hopefully I can get<br />
some overs in later in the day.”<br />
He didn’t bowl any overs last<br />
week, but said this was due<br />
to the tidy efforts by Nawid<br />
Mohammady (4/38), Ben Hall<br />
(2/7) and Boston Fielding (2/17)<br />
– not because he was injured.<br />
Going into the last week of the<br />
season, Sumner are 8/1 in their<br />
second innings against Lancaster<br />
Park, after they were bowled<br />
out for 168. Lancaster Park only<br />
managed 108 runs, and face a<br />
season in division 1 if they are<br />
unable to chase Sumner’s total.<br />
If Vann can reach the 500<br />
wicket milestone on Saturday he<br />
will be finishing a memorable<br />
season on a high note. He<br />
brought up 400 appearances<br />
for the club in October, and<br />
has played for Sumner’s<br />
championship and senior A sides<br />
since making his debut in 2002.<br />
He is also the club’s highestever<br />
wicket taker.<br />
Vann said playing, running<br />
his cricket coaching business<br />
and teaching physical education<br />
part-time at Chisnallwood<br />
Intermediate has become too<br />
much to balance next season.<br />
The life member first started<br />
playing for Sumner as a 17-yearold<br />
student at Linwood College<br />
(now Te Aratai College), and <strong>22</strong><br />
years later, is a prominent name<br />
in club records.<br />
As well as leading wicket taker,<br />
Vann has also made the secondmost<br />
appearances for Sumner<br />
after Ray Steele’s 428.<br />
He has taken five wickets and<br />
scored a century on the same day<br />
for Sumner, and has career-best<br />
figures of 6/6.<br />
“I started off quite low down<br />
the batting order and not<br />
bowling heaps when I first<br />
started, and it wasn’t until I was<br />
21 that I was making some runs<br />
and getting wickets,” he said.<br />
“It took a while.”<br />
Sumner will continue the<br />
second day of their last match<br />
this season at St Albans Park<br />
from 10.30am on Saturday.<br />

TRACKERS: Karin Bos with her two detection dogs<br />
Nightshade (left) and Terry.<br />
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
No more hedgehogs to<br />
hound wildlife on spit<br />
THE HEDGEHOG population<br />
has been snuffed out in parts of<br />
Kaitōrete spit using traps and<br />
conservation dogs.<br />
Pest Free Banks Peninsula<br />
wanted to prove hedgehogs<br />
could be removed from<br />
Kaitōrete, near Birdlings Flat<br />
along the southern edge of<br />
Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere.<br />
Hedgehogs are indiscriminate<br />
predators which are responsible<br />
for the decline of many native<br />
species. They kill ground<br />
dwelling and nesting birds,<br />
eating their eggs and young<br />
chicks.<br />
A three-step detection<br />
method – including an array<br />
of leghold traps, trail cameras<br />
and conservation dogs like<br />
three-and-a-half-year-old<br />
border terrier Nightshade<br />
(nicknamed Mobab) – were used<br />
to prove the area was free of<br />
hedgehogs.<br />
Mabob and Terry, a 20-monthold<br />
welsh springer spaniel<br />
trained to track down feral<br />
cats, live with Pest Free Banks<br />
Peninsula dog handler Karin<br />
Bos.<br />
“Nightshade showed no<br />
sign of hedgehogs within the<br />
containment zone of 45ha on<br />
any of the passes through the<br />
site. With nothing in the leghold<br />
lines either or showing up on<br />
TRAINED: Nightshade takes a break from tracking<br />
hedgehogs in Kaitorete.<br />
cameras, we are confident there<br />
are no remaining hedgehogs in<br />
this area,” Bos said.<br />
The area is home to many<br />
at risk species, including the<br />
banded dotterel, oystercatchers,<br />
katipō, as well as skinks and<br />
two species of flightless moth.<br />
But it is also populated with<br />
pests like hedgehogs, mustelids,<br />
possums and feral cats.<br />
An intensive trap network,<br />
with a mix of live capture traps<br />
and kill traps, were used to<br />
target the hedgehogs.<br />
Said Pest Free Banks<br />
Peninsula senior team lead Tim<br />
Sjoberg: “Dogs’ sense of smell is<br />
so sensitive that the possibility of<br />
the highly trained dog missing a<br />
hedgehog on multiple passes are<br />
remote.”<br />
Weasels, stoats, ferrets,<br />
possums and feral cats were also<br />
targeted. The traps were initially<br />
placed on the western end of<br />
Kaitōrete and are moved east as<br />
each area is cleared. A network<br />
of traps and an active fence<br />
system stop more pests from<br />
entering the area.<br />
“We’re using a mixture of<br />
traditional methods and new<br />
technology at this site,” Sjoberg<br />
said.<br />
City council regional parks<br />
biodiversity team leader Alison<br />
Evans said hedgehogs are often<br />
overlooked as pests.<br />
“They have detrimental<br />
impacts on native biodiversity<br />
in Aotearoa. They are<br />
indiscriminate predators and<br />
are responsible for population<br />
declines of many native<br />
species including lizards and<br />
invertebrates. They are also a<br />
problem for ground dwelling<br />
and nesting birds, like the<br />
pohowera/banded dotterel,<br />
by eating the eggs and young<br />
chicks,” Evans said.<br />
Bid to turn wastewater plant site into reserve<br />
• By Heidi Slade<br />
A BID IS BEING made to turn<br />
the site of a major wastewater<br />
project into a historic reserve.<br />
Suky Thompson, of the<br />
Robinsons <strong>Bay</strong> Ratepayers<br />
Association, said the community<br />
wants to turn the old sawmill<br />
site on Sawmill Rd into a full<br />
historic reserve owned by the<br />
community.<br />
The site is split across two<br />
properties containing various<br />
archaeological sites. The<br />
city council bought the site<br />
containing the mill, ponds and<br />
a tramway as part of the Akaroa<br />
Wastewater Project.<br />
The land on which the original<br />
mill owners’ cottage is located<br />
was gifted to the community.<br />
The association also wants to<br />
acquire the land that may not be<br />
used for the project.<br />
The resource consent will<br />
determine how much of the land<br />
is needed.<br />
Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū Banks<br />
Peninsula Community Board<br />
chair Reuben Davidson said<br />
there is a lot of interest from<br />
the community about the site’s<br />
future. Robinsons <strong>Bay</strong> resident<br />
Kathleen Reid is also lobbying<br />
for how the land can be used.<br />
“The idea of a community<br />
garden appeals to me,’’ said Reid.<br />
“All of our food is trucked in,<br />
we need to pick up some of the<br />
ways of the past and be more<br />
resilient.”<br />
Garry Brittenden from Akaroa<br />
Area School has also expressed<br />
interest in a potential garden.<br />
He said it could be a way for<br />
students to be involved in the<br />
community while learning<br />
new skills. Reid presented to<br />
the community board this<br />
month and Thompson did so in<br />
December.<br />
Thompson presented a plan<br />
to the community board for a<br />
comprehensive historic reserve,<br />
owned by the community.<br />
She said it would have cultural<br />
and recreational benefits for<br />
Robinsons <strong>Bay</strong>.<br />
Reid said a community garden<br />
would have benefits for residents<br />
and the wider area. She said<br />
a food forest or perhaps an<br />
orchard could work around the<br />
associated archaeological site.<br />
“There’s room for both, I<br />
believe.”<br />
Said Davidson: “My hope is<br />
that the community board can<br />
work with all residents to create<br />
a space for the community and<br />
visitors to enjoy.”<br />
Native trees will be planted<br />
on the city council land, said<br />
acting head of three waters<br />
Brent Smith. The new treatment<br />
plant will remove nutrients<br />
and pathogens from the water,<br />
so there are no odour issues or<br />
other impacts, he said.<br />

TREASURES FROM THE PAST 13<br />
Captain Champion’s true commitment<br />
IT WAS a fine day in February<br />
1961 and Captain Roy Champion<br />
was enjoying a leisurely jaunt on<br />
a speed boat with his daughter<br />
around Whakaraupō Lyttelton<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong>. The family fun was<br />
rudely interrupted, however,<br />
when the good captain and<br />
harbourmaster spied another<br />
speed boat clearly transgressing<br />
the five-knot limit within 200<br />
metres of the foreshore.<br />
The alleged offender led the<br />
captain on a merry chase before<br />
attempting to make a getaway by<br />
beaching his boat at Charteris<br />
<strong>Bay</strong>. To the cheers of a small<br />
crowd of onlookers, Captain<br />
Champion handed the controls<br />
to his daughter before diving<br />
into the water and then chasing<br />
down the owner with whom he<br />
had a few words, presumably<br />
concerning safe boating<br />
practices.<br />
Captain Alexander Royle<br />
Champion was born on October<br />
21, 1902. A third-generation<br />
mariner, his grandfather,<br />
Captain William Nile<br />
Champion, was the master<br />
of the missionary schooner<br />
Undine and a well-known pilot<br />
at Onehunga, while his father,<br />
Captain William Champion,<br />
commanded several vessels<br />
including the barque Otago.<br />
Young Roy Champion<br />
began his maritime career in<br />
Wellington at the tender age of<br />
14 when he joined the barque<br />
Rona, which traded between<br />
New Zealand, Australia, and<br />
the Pacific Coast of North<br />
America.<br />
In 1920, at the age of 18, he set<br />
sail from Lyttelton in the barque<br />
Rewa for Cape Horn and Great<br />
Britain. He obtained his master’s<br />
certificate to sail at just 23, at<br />
that time the youngest New<br />
Zealander to do so.<br />
In 1929, master seaman<br />
Champion gave up the carefree<br />
seafaring ways of his youth<br />
to marry Edna Mae Monks,<br />
and served with the Southland<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> Board at Bluff before<br />
joining the Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
Board as a pilot in 1937.<br />
The start of World War 2<br />
hostilities saw him aboard the<br />
John Anderson as examination<br />
officer, inspecting all ships<br />
entering the harbour.<br />
On October 12, as Captain<br />
Champion was returning to port<br />
after ordering the signals closing<br />
the harbour to all traffic, the<br />
fishing vessel Dolphin entered<br />
past the heads and failed to stop.<br />
A warning shot was fired from<br />
the Battery Point gunnery but<br />
tragically went astray, hitting<br />
the Dolphin’s engine room<br />
and killing its Captain, James<br />
Brassell.<br />
Already alerted to the apparent<br />
intruder, Captain Champion<br />
on the John Anderson had<br />
cleared the moles just in time<br />
to observe the Dolphin heeling<br />
over, and managed to rescue the<br />
ship’s second crewman William<br />
Willman before she sank.<br />
Later on during the war,<br />
Captain Champion returned to<br />
sea when he was released by the<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> Board to command<br />
the mighty sailing ship Pamir,<br />
making several voyages across<br />
the Pacific carrying precious<br />
cargo in hostile waters.<br />
Post WW2, Captain<br />
Champion returned to Lyttelton<br />
as harbour pilot. He was<br />
appointed Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
Master from 1950-1967 and<br />
was involved in the move to the<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> Board’s Hollis and<br />
Leonard designed seven-storey<br />
headquarters, later known as<br />
Shadbolt House.<br />
He went on to serve as a<br />
board member and chairman<br />
of the Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong> Board<br />
from 1968 to 1981, and was<br />
also a member of the Lyttelton<br />
Borough Council for nine years,<br />
serving as deputy mayor for<br />
three of those years.<br />
In 1977, he was elected<br />
president of the Lyttelton<br />
Historical Museum Society<br />
and was instrumental in the<br />
fundraising campaign to find<br />
new premises, officially opening<br />
the Lyttelton Museum at<br />
Gladstone Quay in 1980.<br />
Captain Champion lived with<br />
Edna Mae for many years at 8<br />
Reserve Tce in Lyttelton – locally<br />
known as ‘the Champion house’<br />
until it was demolished, along<br />
with his Lyttelton Museum<br />
on Gladstone Quay, after the<br />
February <strong>22</strong>, 2011 earthquake.<br />
He passed on at the venerable<br />
age of 83 in 1985. The captain<br />
was known for his reputation as<br />
a stern disciplinarian, a seaman<br />
without peer, and someone who<br />
did not suffer fools gladly. Yet he<br />
was also known for his kindness<br />
and compassion, always quick<br />
to offer help when needed. It<br />
has been said that regardless of<br />
whether he was speaking with<br />
a governor general, an admiral,<br />
a watersider, or a fisherman,<br />
or singing around the piano<br />
at a party, he remained true<br />
to himself as ‘a man without<br />
pretensions’.<br />

Christchurch’s housing and business development rules are changing<br />
Ōtautahi Christchurch’s population is growing. Over the next 30 years, it’s predicted we’ll need more than 40,000<br />
new houses to ensure everyone has a place to live, and Christchurch City Council is planning for that now.<br />
Our growth challenge<br />
We need to provide for the growth of housing and<br />
business in the best locations in Christchurch, to<br />
help address issues like climate change and housing<br />
shortage. This means more houses where there’s good<br />
access to shops, services, work, school, public transport<br />
networks and infrastructure.<br />
Where there’s good reason, we also need to ensure<br />
development remains restricted or limited to protect<br />
and maintain areas of value.<br />
These changes won’t happen overnight. Over time the<br />
look and feel of the city will change, and we want to plan<br />
for that and keep what people value.<br />
A new direction in urban planning<br />
The planning rules have changed for New Zealand’s main urban areas. We need to<br />
follow the new national direction to allow greater housing and business development<br />
within Christchurch’s existing urban footprint.<br />
There are new national standards for multi-unit housing developments called the<br />
Medium-Density Residential Standards (MDRS). These aim to make it easier for denser<br />
housing developments to happen. Once they come into effect, up to three dwellings<br />
of up to three storeys can be developed on a property in Christchurch without needing<br />
to apply for a resource consent, as long as all other rules have been met.<br />
Not all parts of Christchurch are suitable for the MDRS, so we’re proposing special<br />
rules, called Qualifying Matters, apply to recognise heritage and cultural features, to<br />
protect major utility, infrastructure, and people in areas vulnerable to natural hazards,<br />
among other things.<br />
What we’re proposing<br />
We’re proposing important changes to the city’s planning rulebook, the District Plan, via two plan changes – the Housing and Business Choice<br />
Plan Change (Plan Change 14), and the Heritage Plan Change (Plan Change 13). Both plan changes were formally notified on 17 <strong>March</strong> <strong>2023</strong>.<br />
Replacing some existing residential zones in<br />
the city with two new ones – a Medium-Density<br />
Residential Zone and a High-Density Residential<br />
Zone. The Medium-Density zone is the baseline for<br />
increasing housing in our city. The High-Density<br />
zone would allow apartment buildings and multistorey<br />
flats in the central city.<br />
Increased height limits for residential and<br />
commercial buildings in and around the<br />
central city, suburban centres and along public<br />
transport routes, as well as enabling residential<br />
development in some industrial areas around the<br />
central city and larger suburban centres.<br />
Special rules (Qualifying Matters) to limit greater<br />
development of housing and business under<br />
the MDRS, in order to better reflect our city’s<br />
environment and climate. One proposes changing<br />
recession planes to increase sunlight access from<br />
what would be possible under the MDRS. This<br />
applies citywide and means the MDRS won’t come<br />
into effect for Christchurch until 2024, when Plan<br />
Change 14 is decided on.<br />
Heritage that should be protected, with a number<br />
of new buildings, items and interiors added to<br />
the Schedule of Significant Historic Heritage.<br />
Have your say on our growing city<br />
You can make a submission on the Housing and Business Choice Plan Change (Plan Change 14) and Heritage Plan<br />
Change (Plan Change 13) until 3 May <strong>2023</strong>. Detailed information about the plan changes and everything you<br />
need to make your submission is available at ccc.govt.nz/growingcity
