Erosion report flags
rising risks for coast
BY KEES CHALMERS
Sumner and Taylors Mistake
have been identified among
the areas of most significant
concern for erosion and coastal
flooding in a new report.
The Jacobs Solutions Inc Open
Coast Erosion and Flooding
Assessment was commissioned
by city council
staff this year and presented
to the Waihoro
Spreydon-Cashmere-
Heathcote Community
Board at an information
session last Thursday.
The report was
designed to improve
council understanding of
where and when coastal
storms could breach
dunes between the Waimakariri
River and Southshore, including
Sumner and Taylors Mistake,
allowing seawater flooding that
could damage roads, properties
and other infrastructure.
Sumner, west of Cave Rock
and Taylors Mistake were
identified as areas particularly
susceptible to storms due to its
Nathaniel
Herz Jardine
low lying dunes.
Said Heathcote Ward city
councillor Nathaniel Herz
Jardine: “It’s clearly pretty
serious and it’s been going on
for a long time. Almost every
time after there’s been a lot of
rain combined with high tide,
you’re seeing water out past the
esplanade.
“We’re going to be
having a lot of difficult discussions
coming up about
what the future looks like
and ways we can protect
the area.”
The report recommends
strengthening and rebuilding
dunes at Sumner and
Taylors Mistake to help
delay damage and reduce
impacts on surrounding
communities.
It also recommends the
expansion of dune planting
to support natural dune
development and recovery, along
with improved monitoring of
dune width and height to better
understand what is needed to
withstand successive storms.

Public urged to keep distance
from unusual dolphin visitor
The Department of
Conservation is asking the
public to keep a good distance
away from a large bottlenose
dolphin which appears to
have taken a shine to Taylors
Mistake.
People reported the dolphin
was exhibiting unusual
behaviour swimming back and
forth near the shoreline and
alerted DOC.
DOC staff went out with
Coastguard Sumner to assess
the dolphin’s health and check
whether it had been injured or
become entangled.
DOC ranger Cat
Barnett said while
it is unusual to
see a dolphin
swimming alone
in one area for an
extended period,
it appeared
healthy.
“From what
we saw from the
Cat Barnett
boat, there is no obvious sign of
injury or entanglement.
“The animal looks to be
in good body condition and
appears to be foraging in the
area. Individuals living close
to the shore feed primarily on
a variety of inshore bottomdwelling
fish and invertebrate
species,” she said.
Bottlenose dolphins are
nationally vulnerable and prone
vessel strikes, net entanglement
and being disturbed.
The dolphins are mainly
found in three distinct coastal
populations – the north-east of
the North Island, Fiordland, and
the northern half of the South
Island.
Barnett said bottlenose
dolphin sightings around
Banks Peninsula and Lyttelton
Harbour are infrequent.
“We will continue to keep an
eye on this situation.”
Car rolls down bank
A motorist was taken to hospital
after the car he was driving rolled
down a bank on Summit Rd near
Mt Vernon about 5.50am on
Monday. The man was the only
occupant in the car. It went off
the edge of the road and rolled
about 10m down the bank before
ending up on its side. The man got
himself out of the car and called
111. The Governors Bay Volunteer
Fire Brigade and Hato Hone St
John responded to the call-out.
Wastewater plan
moves a step closer
Fast-track approval for Akaroa’s
wastewater scheme will be
sought. City councillors voted
12-4 to ask Infrastructure Minister
Chris Bishop to allow the $150m
project to bypass the standard
consenting process. If approved
he fast-tracking would save
about $4m but residents would
not have a say on the project.
The scheme involves disposing
of Akaroa’s treated wastewater
on land planted with native trees
in Robinsons Bay and Hammond
Point.
Power outage
Birdlings Flat was hit by a power
outage about 6.45pm on Tuesday,
affecting 242 properties. Power
was restored about 4.45am the
next day. The outage affected
nearly 1200 properties across
Canterbury. Orion said it was
caused by wildlife making contact
with the network.

Feedback sought on coastline’s future
› From Page 1
The city council confirmed
in April that Taylors Mistake to
Lower Heathcote will be the next
area to undergo coastal adaptation
planning.
Community engagement is
expected to begin later this year,
with city council staff outlining
a consultation process at Thursday’s
meeting.
It will begin with engagement
with rūnanga to understand
values, followed by initial community-wide
consultation.
The public will then be asked to
provide feedback on draft adaptation
pathways, followed by a
second round of consultation on
the draft adaptation plan before
finalisation.
A coastal panel
representing the
community will
also be established
to review
feedback and help
determine preferred
adaptation
pathways.
Taylors Mistake
resident Malcolm
McClurg, who has
lived in the area
Malcolm
McClurg
since 1978 and has served on the
Taylors Mistake Surf Life Saving
Club committee for 55 years, said
the risk has long been recognised.
An architect, he was involved
in the surf club rebuild, which
opened in February 2021.
“The building itself was
established at 12.3m, basically
anticipating sea level rise, we

have a large concrete seawall
out the front which assists with
breaking up the waves,” he
said.
The main structure uses precast
concrete panels and steel
portal frames designed to withstand
major storms and wave
action.
“It’s a high risk zone but the
purpose of the building is that
it’s a rescue amenity so it is
where it has to be,” he said.
Sumner Surf Life Saving Club
president Huntley Quinn did
not wish to comment as he had
not seen the report.
The report found that
sequences of large and small
storms can rapidly erode open
coast dunes, sometimes by several
metres in a single event
and tens of metres over successive
major events.
While some areas have wide
dunes capable of absorbing
impacts, locations with narrow
dunes or those modified by
structures face greater risk of
breaching.
Other areas identified as
vulnerable include Brooklands
Lagoon, North New Brighton,
the stretch between North Beach
Surf Life Saving Club and the
North New Brighton Community
Centre, the area between New
Brighton surf club and the pier,
and Southshore Spit.
The report warns that as
sea levels rise, dunes will be
exposed to higher water levels
and more frequent wave
impacts.
This will increase erosion
frequency, reduce recovery
time between events, and lead
to more frequent overtopping
across lowered dunes.
Dune width will shrink and
crest heights will lower in many
areas, although this process may
be slowed by ongoing beach
sand supply.
Eventually, the report says,
dunes may no longer be able
to perform their protective
function in some locations,
particularly without continued
management.
By the time sea level rises 0.6m
– which could occur by 2080 –
the length of coast considered
susceptible to storm-induced
erosion and overtopping is
expected to more than double.
With 1.2m of sea level rise,
large parts of the open coast,
and almost all of Sumner and
Taylors Mistake Beaches are
considered susceptible to
overtopping.
The full report is expected to
be made available next week on
the city council’s website.

Later, Only Love Remains by Leah Swann
From award-winning, bestselling writer Leah Swann comes
a lyrical, powerful, dark and devastating novel. Warning:
once you start reading, you will not be able to put this
novel down. Jack Wolfe, a complicated and difficult
old man, retreats to his remote shack in the Otways
to grieve his wife’s death in a car crash where he was
the driver. Half mad with remorse, and memories of
wrongs he has done to others, what he craves more
than anything is forgiveness - and solitude. Instead, he
meets Lotus, an exuberant yet lonely young woman who insists on
trying to help him, although he’s determined to keep her at bay.
He doesn’t want or need anyone. But late one night, when his dog
starts howling, Jack discovers a shivering and wet stranger on his
property. Is this man dangerous, or someone who simply needs his
help? His late wife would want him to show kindness, but he can’t
help suspecting the man’s motives. And what should he do about the
unwanted friendship from Lotus? A powerfully compelling story with
a spiralling, slow-burn intensity which escalates into a propulsive,
gut-wrenching and achingly beautiful read, Later, Only Love
Remains is a story about violence, birth and death, the yearning for
redemption and the endless wellspring that is love.
The Yacht by Kayte Nunn
The glamorous and twisty new thriller from the author of
The Palazzo for all fans of Lucy Foley and White Lotus.
A man on the edge. A woman hell-bent on revenge. A cheating
husband. A desperate wife. A property empire on the brink of
collapse. A family at loggerheads. A predator hiding in plain sight.
Who will sink and who will swim?
‘The Palazzo is an absorbing and hugely enjoyable read with
rich characters and a layered plot. This sophisticated novel will
whisk you away from everyday life and immerse you in the Italian
mountainside, which turns out to be as deadly as it is idyllic’
B.M. Carroll
‘A perfectly plotted mystery in a delicious setting, full of
characters struggling to hide their darkest selves. I was turning
the pages faster and faster, my theories constantly tested until
the final page. The Palazzo is the very best kind of absorbing
storytelling’ Sara Foster

One of the city’s
most dilapidated
homes for sale
A once grand home overlooking
Christchurch is being sold "as is,
where is" after sitting derelict
for about 10 years.
The Worsleys Rd house in
Cracroft, which is something
of a landmark in the suburb
thanks to its distinctive roofline,
was built about 50 years ago but
went downhill after the owner
died, OneRoof reported.
Harcourts listing agent
Matthew Loose told OneRoof he
sold a neighbouring 4ha block of
land for the late owner's family
and is now selling the remaining
assets.
“It would have been
a very grand home, and
it probably would have
sat up pretty proud up on the
hill because there wouldn’t
have been much around, but
unfortunately it’s had its day.”
The 4220sq m three-bedroom
house property has an RV
of $1.23m and will go up for
auction on June 11 at 11am.
All the furniture in the
house is being sold with the
property in its current condition
and state.
But almost every window in
the two-storey house is either
smashed or boarded over with
weeds and graffiti covering the
walls.
“It’s been vacant for quite
a while now. It is extremely
rundown,” Loose told OneRoof.
“It’s certainly not for the
fainthearted. [Buyers] would
need to know what they are
doing for the renovation.”
Most of those who
have shown an interest
in the property are looking
for a lifestyle block to build
on.
“If someone wants to buy
a nice size section on the hill
that’s relatively flat and that
has a handful of different
building platforms that you
can potentially build on it and
just start from scratch basically
– I think that’s the most likely
buyer,” Loose said.
He told OneRoof it was hard
to put a price on the property,
but expected it to be somewhere
around its land value of $580,000
(the RV is $1.23m).
“If you compare values – your
Cashmere, Cracroft, Kennedy’s
Bush on the hill - if you compare
the values there to Merivale and
Fendalton, you are still getting
bang for your buck in terms of
value for money.”
The Worsleys Rd house has an RV of $1.23 million but has suffered from years of neglect.

New generation of
innovators tackling
waste problem
Year 13 students at Te Aratai
College have launched two
innovative ventures aimed
at addressing environmental
and educational challenges – a
biodegradable alternative to
plastic plant pots, and a creative
project designed to help people
better understand and visualise
geography through art.
As part of the year-long Young
Enterprise Scheme, students
Charlie McHutchison, Manuel
Olita, Tommy Jago Jones, Yossi
Wagerman, and Noah Smith
developed a biodegradable
plant pot made from recycled
mycelium substrate – the vegetative
network from which
mushrooms grow.
Operating under the company
name Sprouts, the group
said their product is designed
to reduce plastic waste in
gardening by offering a fully
compostable alternative to conventional
plastic pots.
Chief executive Charlie
McHutchison said their inspiration
came from a shared
passion for environmentalism.
“We wanted to find a way to
reduce plastic waste and the
pollution caused by pots heading
to landfills,” he said.
The resulting product is made
from a unique blend of sawdust
sourced from the school’s hard
materials room and repurposed
coffee grounds.
“The team used these materials
to develop a natural
biofertiliser that expands the
root systems, allowing them to
grow the pots in a mould,” said
McHutchison.
Marketing director Manuel
Olita said the team used their
love of science to find a natural
solution.
“The product also acts as
an organic biopesticide that
protects plants from pests like
aphids and thrips” said Olita.
Production director Noah
Smith said feedback from the
business community had been
amazing.
“It’s clear there is a demand
for a product that completely
cuts out plastic using renewable
materials" said Smith.
The team is looking to work
with the University of Canterbury
to help scale up production.
Year 13 students, Zach
Derham, Hamish Courtney,
Xander Pennruscoe, and Carlos
Adams are creating 3D wooden
laser-cut topographical maps of
New Zealand.
They say their venture, Geo-
Art helps people visualise
geography in an innovative way.
Derham, who is chief executive,
said inspiration for the
business came from a desire to
address a lack of understanding
of basic geography.
“Our product allows people
to easily visualise how maps and
contour lines work, creating a
piece of art they can display in
their homes for others to learn
from and enjoy visually,” he
said.
Pennruscoe, who is production
director, said every piece of
artwork was unique.
“We start with a digital design,
carefully drawing separate
topographical layers online then
each layer is laser-cut. We then
glue and paint the product” he
said.

Adams said their topographical
artwork had a low carbon
footprint.
“It’s designed in NZ, made for
locals, by locals, with locally
sourced plywood,” he said.
Still making the rounds at 80
Elizabeth isn’t the kind of 80-yearold
who sits and waits for visitors.
She gets out and goes looking for
company.
Most mornings she’s up between
half past six and seven. Warm water
with lemon and honey, then she’s
out the door with her dog, around a
block or three, before breakfast.
“I’ve never wanted to stay at home
since my husband passed on,” she
says. “I miss the company. So I get
out and go looking for it.”
That means walking. Up and down
the street, twice a day most days. Into
town, back again. Staying connected
to the small rural community she’s
been part of for decades.
“If I wait for visitors, I’ll be waiting
a long time,” Elizabeth says. “So I’m
the one who does the visiting.”
It’s not a complaint. It’s just how it
is. And for Elizabeth, that’s fine. As
long as she can keep moving.
But her knee had started to
become a problem. And that meant
everything else could become a
problem too.
She knew the trajectory. Less
movement leads to more stiffness.
More stiffness leads to less
movement. She’d seen that cycle
before and had no intention of
getting caught in it.
“Twenty-four years ago now, I
took my last pill,” she says. “And I
didn’t want to go back. Not for my
knee, not for anything.”
Her husband had been a believer
in natural approaches. Ginseng,
ginkgo, pumpkin seeds. He’d
supported her through the years
when she was trying to manage her
health differently.
That experience shaped how she
thinks about her body. If something’s
going to support her, she wants it
to work with her, not override it.
Natural. Simple. Something she
controls.
So when her knee started making
itself known, she wanted to find a
natural support so she wouldn’t lose
that control.
She walked into her local
pharmacy, looking for something
different. Something topical.
Something natural.
The woman behind the counter
handed her Koru FX.
Elizabeth wasn’t entirely sure it
would make a difference. Could a
cream really offer the kind of support
she needed?
She took it home. Worked it into
her knee that night.
Koru FX is made in New
Zealand from natural ingredients. It
absorbs quickly, no sticky residue,
no synthetic smell. Just a simple
formula she could add to her routine.
She kept using it. Morning and
night, massaging it into her knee
before her walk.
“Once I tried it,” she says, “I never
looked back.”
Her walks continue, the dog gets
his exercise, and Elizabeth? Well,
Always read the label and take as directed. If symptoms persist contact your healthcare professional. Koru Nutrition, Christchurch
Advertisement
she gets her fresh air, her company,
and her reasons to leave the house.
She’s up and down the street most
days. Into town in the morning, back
for the dog, then out again in the
afternoon.
“I can’t stay at home,” she says.
“I’m the one who visits. That’s just
who I am.”
At 80, Elizabeth has found what
works for her. Koru FX, a natural
approach from her local pharmacy,
and the freedom to keep doing what
matters most.
Getting out, staying connected,
and being known as the one who
shows up.

to being part of the outdoor
sculpture trail again.
“We have completed three
other sculptures over the years
and we love doing them. Not
only does it bring our school
community together, but it also
creates excitement and the
children who participate always
feel so proud of the sculpture,”
she said.
Once the trail ends the
Shauns will be auctioned off
to fundraise for Big Brothers
Big Sisters of Christchurch,
an organisation that matches
young people with mentors
to help them reach their full
potential.
Said Pareawa Banks Avenue
Primary School principal Jan
Thompson: “We love Big Brothers
Big Sisters as a programme and
are fully in as a school because
it makes such a difference in our
community each and every day.
We want to give back. We want to
be a role model of involvement
and support in our wider
community.”
There is also a call out for
artists interested in painting a
Big Shaun who will be sponsored
by businesses.
Big Brothers Big Sisters
programme manager Faye
Higgins said designs were being
sought which “capture the spirit
of Shaun the Sheep; adventurous,
mischievous, fun-loving, and full
of humour”.

French connection brings elite
experience to Sumner front row
BY KEES CHALMERS
Sumner’s front row has been
bolstered this season under the
guidance of former Top 14 prop
Clément Castets.
Now the 2021 European champion
is set to make his on-field
debut for the club against Lincoln
University on Saturday – his
first game in 10 months.
“I can hopefully help the boys
out a little bit, but I’ll mostly
enjoy being on the field and having
a good run,” he said.
Castets, 30, arrived in Christchurch
with an impressive CV,
having spent nine seasons in
France’s Top 14, where he won
domestic titles in 2019 and 2021
and lifted the Champions Cup
with Toulouse in 2021.
He came off the bench in Toulouse’s
22-17 final win over La
Rochelle, sharing a squad with
stars including Antoine Dupont,
Romain Ntamack and Cheslin
Kolbe.
But the demands of life at the
top level eventually caught up
with him.
“It felt like every game was
win or die. When you’re playing
30 games a season, you feel
exhausted,” he said.
“You win it all, you celebrate a
little bit, and not even a month
later you’re back in pre-season.
While it was some of the best
years of my life, it was also very
exhausting.”
“I felt like I had seen it all in
France. I was already a bit tired
mentally and I needed a big
change.”
His move to New Zealand
came after a series of shoulder
injuries disrupted the final
stages of his time in France.
He suffered his third dislocation
while preparing for round
one of last year’s NPC season
with Manawatū, having previously
picked up two more
during his spell at Stade Français
in Paris.
“That’s when I took a big
break. I was both mentally and
physically exhausted from years
in the Top 14,” he said.

Liam Gill during a Top 14 match in 2019.

​“I’ve had time to develop
myself a lot. I find myself
to be changed as a person
and hopefully that will
show itself on the field.”
Clément Castets
Castets spent the summer
travelling New Zealand with his
partner Pauline Faucher and
extended family while considering
his next step in the game.
“Being in New Zealand, one of
the most beautiful countries in
the world, it was the right time
to have a big rest and come back
as fit as I could,” he said.
The couple eventually settled
in Christchurch. After Castets
posted online looking for work,
Sumner head coach Gareth
D’Almeida made contact and
invited him to the club.
“When he took me out to Sumner,
I just fell in love with the
place and I thought I would have
a crack in this part of Christchurch,”
Castets said.
He worked as a barista for a
few months, but has been committed
to rehabbing his shoulder
PHOTOS: GETTY
full time since March.
His connection with the club
deepened during rehabilitation,
after he suffered a fourth
shoulder dislocation during
a CrossFit session with his
brother Guillaume, requiring
reconstruction surgery in
January.
“I didn’t know if I was going to
keep playing or not but I thought,
if I’m going to have surgery and
do all the rehab, I might as well
have the treat at the end,” he said.
While recovering, he began
helping at Sumner, running
scrum sessions with the premier
side and players across the wider
club.
“There’s heaps of young talented
boys out there. I tried to
give them as much as possible,
but I have to say I’m the one who
grew a lot,” he said.
One of the biggest influences
on Castets’ career has been
former All Blacks prop Charlie
Faumuina, whom he played
alongside at Toulouse from
2017-2021.
Faumuina helped shape his
understanding of the small
details that define professional
rugby – clean-out technique,
lineout lifting precision, and the
importance of extra work once
training finishes.
It is the same standard Castets
is now trying to pass on at
Sumner.
“The boys were saying, ‘Clem,
you should get a business
going’, but that’s not the way I
want to do it. I just want to pass
on knowledge,” he said.
Castets has also worked
alongside Scott Robertson, who
guided the Crusaders to seven
Super Rugby titles and regularly
assists with Sumner’s premier
reserve side, captained by his
son Cass.
“I will always try and have a
look at what he’s doing, the way
he’s doing it, how he’s talking,”
he said.
“What a privilege to be able to
work alongside him.”
While the last five months of
rehab have been tough, Castets
believes the experience has
helped him grow.
“I’ve had time to develop
myself a lot. I find myself to be
changed as a person and hopefully
that will show itself on the
field,” he said.
“The shoulder is 100% all
good and now I’m just eager to
get out on to the field and enjoy
myself with the boys.”
Away from rugby, he has a
degree in paediatrics and a
strong passion for sustainable
living.
“I have a lot of empathy, I
have a strong connection to
nature and that’s why I’m trying
to preserve it,” he said.

Innovative marine habitat
units installed
Ecologically engineered
habitat units to support
marine life at the Port.
LPC has installed ecologically engineered
habitat units to encourage marine life at the
new reclamation.
Over 200 ECOncrete COASTALOCK units
were installed in cluster patterns to create
intertidal and subtidal habitat. The units
weigh 3.5 tonnes each, have been installed
along the eastern side of the reclamation
seawall.
LPC Head of Environment and
Sustainability, Crystal Lenky, says the new
units are very different from the traditional
quarry rock used on seawalls around the Port.
“These COASTALOCK units can be
positioned rotationally to create small rock
pools that retain water at low tide, similar to
natural rocky reefs,” says Crystal.
“Quarry rock does its job structurally,
but it lacks nooks and crannies and doesn’t
hold water at low tide. By creating pools
and textured surfaces, we can better mimic
natural reef environments.”
Some units were installed in February as a
trial, and initial results are positive.
“We’re starting to see green algae growing
on them, which is what we want to see
for encouraging organisms to establish,”
says Crystal. The eco engineering design
was developed in collaboration with
marine ecologist Oliver Floerl from LWP
(LandWaterPeople), who worked with LPC on
the concept, design, and installation.
Oliver says that the project followed a
thorough process, from initial feasibility to
detailed design and installation.
“There are a lot of projects that do only
what’s necessary. This goes well beyond that.
LPC had a really meaningful vision with the
outcome,” says Oliver.
“It’s been a really good process with
structural engineers and geotechnical
specialists all involved.”
Further eco engineering features are
planned for other parts of the reclamation.
On the southern seawall, smaller living
seawall habitat boulders will be installed to
complement the larger units already in place.

COSTALOCK units
were installed in

Lyttelton channel
restoration
LPC has completed a dredging
campaign to restore its
main shipping channel after
an unusually high level of
sediment infill caused by
recent extreme weather events.
Dutch dredging vessel Elbe has spent the
past month restoring the Lyttelton shipping
channel following extreme weather.
Since the completion of the Port’s
scheduled maintenance dredging programme
in November last year, nearly one million
cubic metres of material have been infilled
in the channel. This compares with a typical
annual infill volume of 600,000 – 800,000
cubic metres.
A significant contributor was the severe
weather event on 27 March 2026, which
deposited more than 430,000 cubic metres
of sediment into the channel within a matter
of days.
The subtropical low-pressure system
brought very strong winds, large seas and
long-period swell, especially around Banks
Peninsula and the South Island’s east coast.
Prolonged periods of large sea states from
January through April have further restricted
shipping movements and accelerated infill.
In some areas, the loss of depth imposed
tidal constraints on vessel movements.
LPC Chief Customer and Supply Chain
Officer Simon Munt says the work was
necessary to maintain safe and reliable
Port operations.
“The scale and speed of the infill we have
seen over the past few months was well
outside what we would normally expect,”
says Munt. “Extreme weather events are
clearly having a much greater impact on
the harbour, and this interim dredging was
required to remove high spots and restore
safe channel depths for our customers.”
Simon Munt says shipping safety and
supply chain reliability were the Port’s top
priorities.
“Maintaining the shipping channel is
critical for vessel safety and for keeping
freight moving efficiently in and out of
the South Island.” “This work was about
ensuring we can continue to operate safely
while adapting to increasingly variable and
challenging weather conditions.”
LPC says abnormal weather patterns and
large sea state events are becoming more
frequent.
The Port will continue to monitor sediment
movement closely and assess longer-term
responses to increased climate-related
impacts on harbour operations.
“ This work was about
ensuring we can
continue to operate
safely while adapting
to increasingly variable
and challenging
weather conditions.”

moving.
“Most of the time we’re up the cranes, and
we spend a fair bit of time at coal. I’ve also
been out to MidlandPort for a problem with a
gate, so it’s a real mix of things,” Eva says.
For Eva, one of the most striking parts
of working at the Port has been both the
physical scale of the equipment and the
technology behind it.
“So much is going on around LPC. The
cranes are massive. Everything is super
technical and you can check on a lot of
equipment through a computer,” Eva explains.
While the environment is complex, Eva
says the workshop team has made learning
feel approachable.
“Everyone’s been super welcoming, I
feel like I’m being taught rather than just
observing, which is really nice,” Eva says.
Eva completed her pre-trade at the end of
last year and worked in the healthcare sector
prior to LPC.
Electrical Foreperson, Euan Brown, says
that Eva’s been quite inquisitive, which is
great for the job.
“She’s interacted really well with the team
and has been proactive in every aspect of
learning,” Euan says.
Apprentices are introduced gradually to
ensure safety and confidence.
“We’ve done light poles, setting up work
permits and job safety analysis, and working
with outside contractors. She’s also been
involved with the container cranes with tasks
like changing carbon brushes,” he adds.
“The only way to learn is to be proactive,
and she really has been. I see a bright future
for her, and we’ll make sure she’s exposed to
as much as possible,” Euan says.
Eva says she is focused on building her
confidence as she formally begins her

to the wharf. Project Manager Jonathon
Deaker says this is a valuable piece of land
for the terminal. “Being so close to the wharf
makes a real difference to how efficiently we
can operate, and the additional capacity will
support the growing demands on the site.”
The new area provides around 250
additional ground slots, giving the terminal
more room to store containers in a critical
location. Proximity to the container wharf
has been a key benefit. The new area offers
much closer access to vessel operations,
supporting more efficient handling.
The upgrade also improves how vehicles
move through the terminal. The previous
layout required a more complex route
through the site, while the new paved area
allows for a more direct and efficient flow—
helping reduce congestion and supporting
smoother daily operations.

At LPC, provedoring plays a crucial role
in ensuring vessels receive the supplies they
need to operate safely and on schedule.
LPC Head of Customer Relations Andrew
Todd, says IPL has been a trusted part of the
Port community for many years.
“While much of their work happens
in the background, it plays an important
role in maintaining customer confidence
and smooth operations.” Independent
Provedoring was established in 1989 by
Winsome Dormer and has built a strong
reputation as a respected operator with deep
industry knowledge.
The new owners say preserving that legacy
was a key focus throughout the transition.
IPL Director Scott Johnstone brings
experience from his role as General Manager
of Brenics, a New Zealand owned transport
and logistics company specialising in the
freight of fresh, chilled and ambient food.
Scott says his background in time critical
logistics aligns closely with the demands of
Port operations.
“IPL was already a customer of ours, so
we’d seen the business from the outside,”
Scott says. “The culture was a great fit, and
the work aligned well with our experience in
transport and supply chains.”
“Coming from the fresh produce sector
gives you a real appreciation for timing and

History beckons for high-flying Bays
Ferrymead Bays’ Nick Smith plays the ball forward against Wānaka in round 1.

BY SAM COUGHLAN
Ferrymead Bays head coach Alan
Walker is not shying away from
the historic position his side are
in at the halfway point of the
season.
Bays sit second in the Southern
League after nine games of the
18-match campaign and on Friday
advanced to the third round
of the Chatham Cup with a 7-1
win over second-tier Halswell
United.
Walker said he would be
upfront with his players about
their chances of finishing in the
top two and qualifying for the
National League.
“I can hide it and say it’s not (a
possibility), but I know the lads
will be talking about that. So I’ll
go into training and spell it out to
them – what we’ve got to do and
how we’ve got to do it.”
Bays have never finished
higher than fifth since being promoted
to the Southern League in
2022.
Walker said confidence within
the squad was high as they

Bays 22; Nomads 16; Coastal 16;

Utd 8; Selwyn Utd 7; Dunedin 7;
Wānaka 6
looked to continue their strong
start to the season when they
host bottom-placed Wānaka FC at
2.45pm on Saturday.
“We had a small-sided
competition at training on
Monday, you wouldn’t have
thought things were going
smoothly because they were
nearly fighting. But I think
that’s a good thing because
they’re competitive and they
want to achieve.
“The feeling in the group’s
good – they’re a good group of
lads. There’s the old adage with
the All Blacks that they’ve got
no dickheads, and we’ve got no
dickheads in the group, every
one of them is a good lad.”
Walker said there was a
psychological challenge ahead
with league matches against
Wānaka and Northern either
side of next weekend’s Chatham
Cup third-round tie.
Bays beat those teams 4-1 and
1-0 respectively earlier in the
season.
“Those games become a
free hit for them, they’re
not expected at times to get
anything. They’ll be fighting
relegation, but they’ll go ‘we’re
playing a team that’s second in
the league, it’s a free hit for us
to have a go’.
“I’m hoping our lads don’t
think it’s a given that we’re
going to get three points,
because there’s no game in the
league that you’ll ever get three
points from easily.”
Walker said victories in those
matches were crucial.
“The target in the second
round is we’ve got to be
winning six games, at least.”
If Bays can win their next
two league fixtures, they would
need just four victories from
their final seven matches to
secure a top-two finish.
Rams import
takes the plunge
A childhood spent on innercity
basketball courts has
led Canterbury Rams import
Tamenang Choh taking his first
swimming lessons as an adult at
Parakiore.
Growing up in Lowell, Massachusetts,
Tamenang Choh – who
goes by T – is the Canterbury
Rams’ star import, fresh off a
season in Finland, and is taking
to the water like a duck.
The 27-year-old has built a
journeyman career that has
taken him from college basketball
at Brown University
through France, Germany,
Spain, Bulgaria and Finland.
Now he finds himself donning
the Rams’ red and black, and
with a handful of swimming
lessons under his belt at the
central city sports facility.
He came across the adult
classes by chance while heading
to training, now the team is
based at Parakiore.
“Honestly, we’ve been blessed
to play in this beautiful new
facility, so I’ve been walking by
the swimming pool every day
for practice, and I was like, ‘you
know what, let me just ask and
see if they have adult swimming
classes,” Choh said.
Staff at the front desk made
the process simple, he said, and
before long he found himself in
the proverbial deep end under
the guidance of an encouraging
coach.
“I was kind of, not intimidated,
but I just didn’t know what to
expect at first, because in my
eyes I can at least float a little
bit, but obviously not enough to
consider myself a swimmer.
“I was kind of sceptical, just
because I was from Lowell, an
inner-city suburb, never really
around water, never really been
interested in learning to swim.
“It’s something that has
taken away opportunities to
go swimming with my friends,
going to the beaches, and I’m
kind of tired of saying ‘I can’t go’
or making an excuse up. So now
being able to learn, it’s a great
life skill to have,” he said.
Choh said he has copped “a
bit” of stick from teammates for
taking up swimming at 27, but
most have been supportive of
his willingness to learn something
new.
“It’s funny, because I joked to
my teammates, and I told them,
‘I’m taking swimming classes’,
and of course, some of them go
‘you don’t know how to swim?’
With the Canterbury Rams based at Parakiore, Tamenang Choh has taken the
opportunity to start swimming lessons.

And some are like, ‘oh, that’s a
really respectable thing, that’s a
great life skill to have’.
“You know, just the fact that I
am doing it, they are extremely
supportive.
“You can’t worry about other
people, what they think, because
at the end of the day some of
them might not know how to
swim either, or they’re maybe too
scared to say it out loud,” he said.

Sumner Ferrymead Foundation winding up
When Dora Grut, a former
Sumner resident, gave a donation
to some local business people to
establish a fund to support the
local community, little did she
realise that her legacy would last
for decades.
Over this period the Sumner
Ferrymead Foundation has grown
and evolved, from responding
to requests for help, through to
the Puawai Awards for primary
schools, to providing a range
of scholarships and awards for
individuals, and more recently,
community awards for groups,
clubs, and organisations.
So too has the catchment
area grown to include Redcliffs,
Mt Pleasant, Heathcote,
and Brookhaven, with the name
changing from the Sumner Foundation
to the Sumner Ferrymead
Foundation.
With such a strong legacy, the
recent decision to wind up the
foundation was not an easy one.
There were several reasons that
contributed to the decision, the
primary one being the need for a
capital injection of around half a
million dollars so all the awards
could be funded by the income
generated from investments.
“We could have continued to
operate for a few more years
until all the funds were depleted,
but we chose to have offer a
significant number of community
awards this year and use all

our funds,” said treasurer Max
Mathias.
“We had been told on a number
of occasions how hard it was
to get funding for projects at the
moment, so it seemed an ideal
opportunity to help more of our
community clubs, groups and
organisations when funding was
hard to access, and to wind up the
foundation at the same time.”
Julie Cunningham, a well know
Sumner-Redcliffs resident, was
SEPTEMBER 30,1993 – JUNE 30, 2026
one of the original trustees, and
only recently stepped down from
the position.
“I was involved for close to
thirty years, and it was a great
initiative to be part of. One of our
first projects was loaning musical
instruments to students, thereby
avoiding the expensive upfront
payment many parents face when
their child wants to learn an
instrument,” she said.
“We also helped so many individuals
represent their sport or
school at both national and international
events; and we helped
the local fire brigade, the local
surf clubs, and sports clubs, to
name just a few.
“I have worked with so many
wonderful trustees during this
time; they all willingly gave their
time, and sometimes money, to
make the foundation a success.
While it’s disappointing to see the
foundation wind up, I think we
should focus on what it achieved
over the years and be proud of
that,” Cunningham said.
Foundation chair Martin
Hawes, paid tribute to past and
present trustees for their years of
service.
“Like many charitable organisations
we have been reliant
on residents in our community
to serve in a voluntary capacity.
While they have all willingly
stepped up, they all have busy
lives.
“Over the years our ‘offer’ has
evolved to reduce the time commitment,

MOTORING
Ageing Yaris
still punching
above its weight
Motoring with Bob Nettleton
Now six years old, the latest
Toyota Yaris hatch remains a
standout in the light-car segment,
thanks to its funky
styling and cute-as-a-button
appearance.
The entry point into the
Yaris range is considerably
higher than when the current
generation arrived in 2020, with
the line-up now trimmed to just
two models. The five-door GX
tested here starts at $33,590,
while the flagship ZR commands
an additional $6,000.
While the Yaris hatch remains
popular, it lives in the sales
shadow of its larger SUV sibling,
the Yaris Cross, which has
become the crowd favourite
thanks to its fashionable SUV
styling.
When launched, the current
Yaris was Toyota’s most
premium-oriented small car
yet and a significant departure
from its predecessors. More
importantly, it injected genuine
character and fun into the
brand’s smallest hatchback,
helping it win plenty of fans
alongside its low running
costs and impressive safety
credentials.
Toyota has been a pioneer of
hybrid technology for more than
25 years, and the Yaris benefits
from that extensive experience.
It was one of the first compact
Toyotas built on the company’s
acclaimed TNGA-B platform,
delivering greater body rigidity,
improved stability and lower
levels of noise and vibration.
The Yaris boasts impressive
environmental credentials,
with CO 2 emissions of just 76g/
km. In an increasingly crowded
hybrid market, particularly as
Chinese manufacturers flood the
segment with new offerings, it
remains highly competitive.
Power comes from a 1.5-litre
three-cylinder petrol-electric
hybrid system producing a
combined 85kW. Around town,
the Yaris is remarkably refined,
often operating in electric-only
mode for extended periods on
flat roads. However, steeper hills
quickly bring the petrol engine
into action to provide extra
assistance.
The transition between petrol
and electric power is seamless
thanks to Toyota’s proven
lithium-ion battery and electric
motor setup.
Rating out of 10: Performance 7, Handling 7, Build Quality 7, Comfort 7, Space 6, Styling 7, Value for money 6
Fuel Economy: On road test average consumption 4.4L/100km
Safety: Five Star ANCAP crash rating,
Price: $33,590.
Overall points out of 10: 7
Yet when faced with long
climbs, passengers and luggage,
performance begins to fade.
The Yaris is clearly at its best in
urban environments, which is
exactly what it was designed for.
Beyond the city limits, it
can occasionally feel out of its
comfort zone on undulating
roads, although it works away
gamely.
Longer journeys are certainly
possible, and the test car
remained comfortable during
a 250km highway trip. As
expected from a compact hatch,
occupants do not arrive quite
as refreshed as they would in a
larger vehicle, but refinement
remains impressive for its size.
The electronically controlled
CVT transmission has been
specifically tuned to maximise
fuel economy. Toyota claims
a consumption figure of
3.5L/100km, although achieving
that requires a particularly
gentle right foot.
During a mix of urban and
open-road driving, I recorded a
respectable 4.3-4.5L/100km.
The cabin offers a more
premium feel than many rivals
in the segment. Climate-control
air conditioning and push-button
start are welcome inclusions.
Space, however, is at a premium.
Rear-seat accommodation and
cargo capacity are limited,
making the Yaris better suited to
four occupants travelling light.
Toyota has made good use of
the available space, providing
plenty of storage compartments
throughout the cabin.
Connectivity is also well
sorted, with a multimedia system
featuring a 7-inch touchscreen,
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Safety remains one of the Yaris’
strongest selling points. Toyota’s
excellent Safety Sense package
is standard, and when launched
the model was among the first in
its class to feature a centre airbag
between the front seats.
The system reduces the risk of
occupants colliding during a sideimpact
crash and highlighted
just how far small-car safety had
advanced.
Almost every aspect of the
Yaris feels carefully engineered.
It is unquestionably the bestriding
and best-handling Yaris
yet.
Balanced, nimble and offering
strong grip even on poor
road surfaces, it is genuinely
enjoyable to drive on a winding
road. The steering is crisp
and well weighted, inspiring
confidence from behind the
wheel.
Most importantly, it excels in
the environment for which it was
created. As a city car, the Yaris
is superb, effortlessly threading
through traffic and squeezing
into the tightest parking spaces.
Even six years after launch,
it remains one of the most
complete and likeable small
hatches on the market.
