PAGEANTRY: The Caledonian Pipe Band leads Sumner’s Anzac Day parade along Wakefield Ave.
Hundreds pay tribute in parade
PEOPLE OF all ages turned out
in their hundreds to take part
in Anzac Day commemorations
across Banks Peninsula this year.
Parades and ceremonies were
held in Little River, Akaroa,
Sumner and Lyttelton.
A large crowd assembled in
Lyttelton to watch the parade
march from the corner of Oxford
and London Sts along to
Albion Square for the ceremonial
wreath-laying and speeches
of remembrance.
A wreath-laying ceremony at
the recently re-dedicated gates
of the former Sumner/Redcliffs
RSA clubhouse was followed by
a parade down Wakefield Ave to
the Sumner Centre, where the
main service was held.

BANKS PENINSULA has been
compared to a high-maintenance
wife from Merivale.
“They look really good, but
very expensive.”
The remark came on
Monday during hearings on
the city council’s Long Term
Plan.
The Banks Peninsula
Community
Board made
a number of
requests for
extra funding
or for funding
to be brought
forward.
It prompted
Harewood Aaron Keown
Ward city
councillor Aaron Keown to say:
“I loved your photos at the start.
It’s certainly competing for the
eastern suburbs for the best
photos of the city. The analogy
around the garden v the living
room – I think it’s better as a
family analogy and I look at
Banks Peninsula as more like a
Merivale wife – they look really
good but very expensive.”

IF AARON Keown strays into the Bay
Harbour News area, give him a clip (verbal
of course) around the ear.
On page 1 today, we report he had a
crack at Banks Peninsula.
Keown, a Harewood Ward city councillor,
compares Banks Peninsula to a high-maintenance Merivale
wife. His comments came during the city council Long Term
Plan hearings after the Banks Peninsula Community Board’s
funding request for projects.
Mayor Lianne Dalziel struck back for Banks Peninsula, while
community board chairwoman Pam Richardson and the public
gallery laughed at the remark, which was of course typically
Keown.
We’ve kindly illustrated the article with a head shot of Keown
so feel free to escort him back to the border should he turn up.

IT’S OFFICIAL – the
community’s favoured site for a
skate park is 26 Nayland St.
Consultation results were
released last week, and from 534
submissions a whopping 314 (58
per cent) supported the former
Marine Tavern site.
Sumner beach was the second
most popular with 109 supporters,
and the former Redcliffs
School site third with 78. Scott
Park was a distant fourth with
just 28 in favour.
Five submitters did not select a
ranking preference.
The Linwood-Central-
Heathcote Community Board
was to make a decision in April,
but it is now likely to be August
before the matter is put to the
board.
That’s because the city council
is in discussions with the Crown
around ownership of the adjacent
sites at 20/24 Nayland St,
said head of parks Brent Smith.
The board has also
requested a soil test at 26 Nayland
St to “further inform their
decision-making for a site,” he
said.
Sumner Green and Skate
spokeswoman Liza Sparrow said
the group was “delighted” 26
Nayland St had proven the most
popular site for the permanent
skate area, as it would enable a
village green to be developed
adjacent to it.
“We are now one step closer to
achieving the goal of having
a recreation space within the
heart of the village,” said Ms
Sparrow.

“If 26 Nayland St is approved
for use by our community
board, Sumner Green and Skate
will continue to work with the
city council to ensure that this
project is completed in a way
which best meets the needs of
our community.”
In the meantime, the group
is fundraising for landscaping
and upkeep around the temporary
ramp on the Nayland St/
Wakefield Ave corner, which Ms
Sparrow said may be in place
until 2021.

SUSPECTED BURGLAR
CAUGHT
Police are asking anyone
who has been burgled in the
Lyttelton or Opawa area in
recent weeks, or disturbed
an unknown man on their
property and not reported it,
to phone Lyttelton Police on
378 0200 or Crimestoppers
anonymously on 0800 555
111. A 30-year-old Lyttelton
resident was last week arrested
and charged with seven counts
of burglary and one of theft
from a vehicle. He is scheduled
to appear in court on May 15.
INTERSECTION CHANGE
REJECTED
A proposal to stop traffic on
Brittain Tce from turning left
or right onto Simeon Quay
has been rejected by the Banks
Peninsula Community Board,
citing the effect on other
intersections in the area and
the impact on local traffic.
The proposal was intended
to improve traffic flow to
and from Governors Bay,
but sparked a backlash from
residents, with 41 submissions
on the proposal and only 14
per cent of those in favour. The
board said it would reconsider
changes if necessary, after the
Naval Point recreation area
was developed.

Dyson sorry for
using Labour crest
• By Sarla Donovan
PORT HILLS MP Ruth Dyson
has apologised for using the
official Labour Party crest to
support a candidate in the
area’s by-election.
Independent Citizens complained
to the Speaker of the
House, Trevor Mallard,
about a letter
Ms Dyson wrote to
Lyttelton residents,
supporting People’s
Choice candidate
Tyrone Fields’ bid
for a seat on the
Banks Peninsula
Community Board.
People’s Choice
is aligned to the
Labour Party.
Independent
Citizen’s chairwoman Liz
Lovell claimed Ms Dyson had
used taxpayer resources to ask
for votes.
“This sits well outside the
purpose and rules of which
their taxpayer funding is appropriated,’’
she said.
Ms Dyson rejected any suggestion
parliamentary resources
went into the preparation or
the distribution of the letter.
But she said the use of the

Labour crest on the letter was
an error.
“It was a genuine error.
I have contacted both the
speaker and the head of parliamentary
services to apologise
and rectify the situation,” she
said on Monday.
“The incorrect letterhead was
sent by digital file to
the campaign team.
The campaign team
produced and distributed
the material but
should have removed
the crest before doing
this.”
Former board chairwoman
Christine Wilson
resigned earlier
this year, prompting a
by-election in the Lyttelton
Ward.
Voting papers were sent out
last week and people have until
May 16 to cast their votes.
Robyn Struthers is the Independent

the by-election.

Roading money in demand
•From page 1
Banks Peninsula board
chairwoman Pam Richardson
and the public gallery
laughed at the remark.
But Mayor Lianne
Dalziel wasn’t impressed,
ruling it out of order.
“I know what you’re trying
to say, it just really was
a very bad way to try and
say it,” she said.
Among the extra funding
sought by the board is
a doubling of the budget
for metal road maintenance.
In its submission the
board requested an increase
from $775,696 to at
least $1.4 million.
Just over half the peninsula’s
651km roading
network is unsealed.
It said the money is
needed to reduce a backlog
of deferred maintenance
stretching back years.
“There is
definitely
not enough
for the
increases
in demand
over these
Rex Gebbie
roads.
While the
traffic volumes are relatively
small, the rapid change
in usage, particularly by
heavy vehicles for forestry
or dairy, has a huge and
sudden negative impact
on both the condition and
the life of the road,” the
submission said.
Scouring, potholes and
corrugations were the
result.
Banks Peninsula Transport
manager Rex Gebbie
and fifth-generation Little
Akaloa farmer Andrew
TRUCKS: Increasing demand from forestry and
dairy trucks is putting Banks Peninsula roads under
strain.
Craw have recently criticised
the city council over
what they say is insufficient
road maintenance.
The board also wants to
see an increase in funding
for culvert renewal from
$145,139 to $250,000.
Also in the board’s submission
were requests to
add two new projects into
the LTP.
The first is the $2.6 million
Okains Bay Potable
Water Scheme, to establish
a safe water source for the
community and campground.
The second is for $1.2
million of funding to
implement village plans
in Diamond Harbour and
Little River.
Wainui’s deferred wastewater
scheme also comes
in for scrutiny.
“As many properties in
Wainui have septic tank
systems which are failing,
if this is left unaddressed
untreated sewage will
continue contaminating
the harbour and other
waterways,” the board said
in its submission.
The board has asked that
the $8.2 million scheme be
reinstated in the LTP.
“It’s vital that we get the
(waste)water out of the
harbour and onto land.
What’s the use of taking
the Akaroa wastewater out
if we’re going to have it going
in on the Wainui side?”
board chairwoman Pam
Richardson asked the city
council on Monday.
It also proposed, as an
alternative to reinstatement,
that funding be allocated
for a feasibility study
of alternative wastewater
systems for small, rural
communities like Wainui
and Little River.
Funding for the Akaroa
and Diamond Harbour
wharf renewals should also
be brought forward, the
board said.
It argues that many of
the projects within Banks
Peninsula are of regional
significance and should be
considered in that context
when LTP funding was
considered.

Theatre group
moves to new
Sumner home
THE SUMNER Theatre Group
is moving into its new home
at Matuku Takotako: Sumner
Centre.
The group will hold a sign-up
event on Sunday night for its annual
cabaret.
Said new president Colin Evans:
“Anybody who is interested in
theatre – from wardrobe to cast
and crew – everybody is accepted.”
The variety show will run over
two weekends in August and two
weekends in September. “I won’t
give the theme away, but it will be
similar to last year. If you want to
know, you’ll have to come down
and sign up,” said Mr Evans.
The Sumner Theatre Group
has been running a cabaret for
about 40 years, but the group itself
has been going for more than 80
years. “There’s lots of tradition
there which we like to keep going.”
•The group is also fundraising
to fit out the new theatre in the
Sumner Centre with curtains
and other features. Visit its

A TINY piece of the city’s
railway history has come back
to life.
Railway Tce in Heathcote
Valley has been newly-repaired
following damage in the
September 4, 2010, and February
22, 2011, earthquakes.
The little street was formed
by New Zealand Rail in 1961
to build six workers’ houses
between Port Hills Rd and the
motorway.
NZR later sold them into
private ownership and each
resident owns a sixth of the
road.
It means there’s no city
council responsibility for
maintenance such as road
sweepers, weed spraying or
drain clearance.
And the costs of fixing the
quake damage fell on the homeowners’
private insurance.
Plumber Peter Bigelow has
lived on Railway Tce for years.
He said it had taken quite a
bit of co-ordination to fix the
road as it came under private
insurance rather than EQC.
“Half of us were with AA
(Vero) and they took the lead,
managed it and went to the
other insurers.”
Fibre was laid first, then
potholes repaired and new kerbs
and footpaths are now going in.
The work has taken about a
month.
Mr Bigelow said Port Hills MP
Ruth Dyson has been helpful
in advocating on behalf of the
Railway Tce homeowners.
Ngai Tuari shifted into a
three-bedroom property with
her engine driver husband about
35 years ago and raised her
four children there, all of them

On the right track
A new Diploma in Organic Agri-Food
Production is being offered through a
partnership with Christchurch’s Lincoln
University and the Biological Husbandry
Unit (BHU).
The one-year full time programme,
largely focused on the theory and practice of
organics, will commence in July. The course
will cover small business management,
plant and animal health, traditional and
cultural food growing techniques and
contemporary Māori enterprises with
a focus on small scale and urban food
production. The BHU Organics Trust,
established in 2001, brought together likeminded
specialists from Lincoln University
and the NZ Organic Movement.
BHU manager Bill Martin says people
are taking an active interest in the food
supply chain and as a result there is
increased demand for smaller scale
organic production. to supply
farmers’ markets, cafés and
restaurants.
“There are numerous social
enterprises popping up across
the country that are involved
in food production. I believe
this will add huge value to
society,” says Martin.
Cultivate Christchurch is
an example, creating urban
farms, clever composting and
encouraging growth of urban
produce. Chief executive
officer of Organics Aotearoa,
Brendan Hoare welcomes the
direction Lincoln University
is taking, maintaining organic production
is the fastest growing food industry globally.
BHU is dedicated to the science of
permanent and wholesystem agriculture
and horticulture. Its campus facilities
include an Organic Training College
focusing on crops, livestock and soil
management and a Future Farming Centre,
with a 10-hectare horticultural farm located
at Lincoln University. Students are actively
involved in the process of growing organic
fruit and vegetable crops, and encouraged
to facilitate business relationships at the
local markets. BHU and Lincoln’s Bio-
Protection Research Centre have also
teamed up with Kings Seeds to produce a
‘How does your garden grow’ kit, answering
common questions about soil regulation
and including techniques for attracting
bees and ladybirds to garden crops. Kits are
available to purchase online through BHU.

Rotary takes care of trail
Ferrymead Rotary is
helping to look after
the popular 360 Trail,
writes Barbara Crooks
CHILDREN AND adults
alike enjoy walking around
the city on the 360 Trail
– it takes you along the
beach, over the Port Hills,
through some of the city
and through the wetlands
of Travis and Charlesworth
Reserves.
The trail has been open
for nearly two years.
Each rotary club within
the city has been allocated
a section to ensure the
signage is still valid, there
is nothing obstructing the
pathways and collecting
rubbish.
Ferrymead Rotary
looks after an area from
the Ferrymead Bridge
to Cowles Stadium – encompassing
around the
Avon-Heathcote Estuary,
through Charlesworth
Wetland Reserve, Linwood
Cemetery and the Linwood
playing fields.
Many school groups visit
Charlesworth Reserve to
learn about the wetland

rangers.
The trust’s co-ordinator
Tanya Jenkins hosts school
groups, telling them about
the native plants and birds.
Plants native to this area
have been planted, watered,
mulched, staked and
weeded. These plants will
attract birds and the hope
is that they will nest here.
The children follow a
self-guided quiz of 20
questions about the wetland.
However, it not only children
who enjoy walking
and learning in this area.
Many other groups come
to the wetland, helping
with planting and weeding.
They range from university
and international students
participating as part of
their academic qualifications,
to businesses such as
Coca Cola and Canterbury
University going to do a
day of community work.
It is unusual to walk
through Charlesworth
Reserve without meeting
other people enjoying the
peaceful atmosphere, not
far from the busy road but
sheltered from it.
People walk the dog here
and children and adults
ride their bikes on the

Moncks Bay barrier may
still be years away
• By Sarla Donovan
A $92,000 safety barrier to
protect pedestrians using the
coastal “goat track” in Moncks
Bay could be years away.
The track (right) runs along
Main Rd from Redcliffs to
Sumner. It has seen two serious
crashes since 2016.
A new metal barrier was installed
at the Shag Rock bend in
December following the death of
Maureen Imrie after the vehicle
she was a passenger in went
through the wooden barrier into
the sea. The walkway south of
the bend, where repeat drink
driver Sarah Arrow crashed into
a couple, badly injuring one,
is only protected in parts by a
wooden fence.
City council transport operations
manager Steffan Thomas
said it was giving “consideration”
to a barrier as part of the coastal
pathway project.
But the $10 million Moncks
Bay-Shag Rock section of the
project is not funded in the draft
Long Term Plan – and it may be
years before it is built.
Mr Thomas said design solutions
for that section were being
developed, but given the narrowness
of the area “any solution is
very complex and all options and
the associated costs need to be
explored.”
Safety was still a priority for
the city council, he said.
“Ensuring that road safety
funds are targeted on the most
effective schemes at the highest
risk locations is the council’s
priority.”
Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community Board member
Darrell Latham said it was an
“extremely poor” response.
“How can the city council
credibly claim that ‘safety is a
priority’ when they are unable
to confirm or demonstrate that
even after the spate of recent
accidents and a fatality that they
will install a safety barrier. What
does it take to get some action –
more accidents or loss of life?”
He wants the city council to
fast-track planning and funding
for the Moncks Bay part of the
coastal pathway, including a
safety barrier.
City council transport operations
manager Aaron Haymes
said in August it would cost
$92,000 for a 160m metal barrier
between the new one at Shag
Rock bend and the existing concrete
barrier further south.

Dodgson rues missed opportunities
SPORTS
• By Gordon Findlater
“AN OPPORTUNITY lost”
is how Sumner coach Martin
Dodgson has summed up two
narrow losses in the space of
three days.
Sumner started the Hawkins
Metro Premier Cup with a
hiss and a roar, winning their
opening three matches. However,
a 10-13 loss on Anzac Day to
Burnside, then a 15-20 loss to
Lincoln University on Saturday
saw them drop to fifth in the
competition standings.
While Dodgson was impressed
overall with two valiant efforts at
Leonards Park, the nature of the
losses has been hard to swallow.
“In both games, we put
ourselves in a really good
position to win . . . we’ve let eight
points slip through our fingers,”
said Dodgson.
On Saturday, Sumner seized
the early advantage against
the competition favourites and
found themselves leading 10-3

after a penalty try following a
collapsed scrum on the Lincoln
line.
When first-five Josh Toy
skipped his way past two
defenders following a number
of phases, Sumner found
themselves with a 15-10
lead. However, in the final
10min of the game the home
side conceded a penalty and
converted try to see what would
have been an impressive victory
slip from their grasp.
After reflecting on the busy
week of fixtures with a ‘court
session’ on Saturday night,
Dodgson says the wave are
raring to get back to their
winning ways.
Their upcoming game on
Saturday presents the team with
a great opportunity to give their

Walking the height of
Everest on peninsula
• By Sarla Donovan
HEIDI ANDERSON is planning
to walk the height of Mt Everest
this month – right here in
Christchurch.
The Mt Pleasant fitness
instructor is becoming an ‘everyday
hero’ for the Himalayan
Trust, pledging to walk 8848m
over the 31 days of May.
It’s all to raise money for
education, health care and safe
drinking water for communities
in the Everest region of Nepal.
This month will mark 65 years
since Sir Edmund Hillary and
Tenzing Norgay reached the
world’s highest peak.
The feat marked the beginning
of a special relationship between
Nepal and New Zealand, which
was brought home to Ms Anderson
when she trekked with a
group led by Sir Edmund’s son
Peter Hillary to Everest Base
Camp.
“I went in 2013 and saw firsthand
the work of the Himalayan
Trust (started by Sir Edmund).
We just got totally absorbed; Peter’s
a wonderful advocate for the
people of Nepal. He was showing
us the schools that had been

built, the medical centres. It just
struck a chord and when they
had the earthquake, everything
that we saw had been shattered.
When I saw this challenge come
up, I thought it would be good
to be able to reconnect and give
them (something) because they
have less.”
Ms Anderson teaches fitness
and yoga classes at Mt Pleasant
Hall and runs a walking group
for friends once a week.
Her walks will cover the Port
Hills, including one up Mt
Herbert, the highest point on the
peninsula.
“I’m using my backyard as the
climb, going from the sea up to
the hills.”
She said she acknowledges the
poverty here in New Zealand
and “if I could do half and half
I would, but this is lined up to
help those children and families
abroad.”

DURING THE school holidays
the older children at the James

to do a Rogaine (orienteering

In small groups and armed
with maps, the children ran
around Barnett Park, trying to

REAL ESTATE
A win-win situation!
2/40 and 38A Maffeys Road, Mt Pleasant
Auction: Thursday 17 May 2018 (unless sold prior)
4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 2 toilets | 2 living rooms | 1 dining room
2 carports | Listing #FM5411
First time ever on the market! Capturing
elevated ocean views that cannot be built
out from the hills of Mt Pleasant, this
substantial property offers an abundance
of space both indoors and out and presents
the perfect family retreat in an incredibly
relaxing setting.
Comprising two cross-lease titles that
lie side-by-side. The first title is a section
in front of the house: a large parcel of
sloping land that provides families with
all the outside room they could ever need
while the second title hosts a four-bedroom
family home which has been thoughtfully
designed to maximize the exceptional
outlook. Live in the house and keep control
of what can be built on the section in future
or sell off the section.
Set upon a rear section with level access
this three-storey property features an
expansive open plan living area which
absorbs the idyllic view and forms the hub
of the home.
A rumpus room on the lower level is
accompanied by an additional kitchen and
offers flexibility for families, while a trio
of balconies, a sheltered patio and a deck
ensures you can always soak up the serenity
and find a quiet place to unwind.
Enjoying a favoured north-facing
orientation, the property is flooded with
natural warmth and the vast selection
of windows allow you to appreciate the
surroundings from almost every room
in the home. Modern tones and neutral
flooring are also prevalent, and there is
still room for buyers to add their personal
touch if desired.
Zoning for Mt Pleasant and Redcliffs
Schools delivers education options to
growing families, and proximity to the
amenities in Ferrymead, Redcliffs and
beyond to Sumner assures convenience
by the coastline. Enjoy McCormacks
Bay Reserve at the bottom of the hill for
your daily exercise or walking the dog
with access to the coastal pathway. While
Saturday morning hosts the local farmers
market outside the community centre.
Beautifully presented, this unique
hillside property offers an enviable lifestyle
in a truly picturesque location. Our owners
are downsizing as their children have now
grown up.

Bono: The rescue cat who
helped me find my way home
by Helen Brown
Having survived a brush with cancer, Helen Brown, happily
married and with three grown children, took stock of her
comfortable suburban life and found it wanting. So when she
was invited to visit New York, the city that never sleeps, she seized
the day and accepted. Perhaps, she mused, she might never return.
There was catch, however: would she foster a homeless cat during her stay? Visualising
a dozy, sweet-natured snuggler called Mavis, Helen agreed. But the cat she met in the
Manhattan shelter was anything but dozy. Instead, Bono, as he’d been named, was
wide-eyed and unpredictable, a bundle of nervous energy with a feisty attitude and punk
haircut to boot.
After a shaky start, Helen and Bono began to get to know each other. And, as winter
turned to spring, cat and woman explored new beginnings and past heartache, only to
discover that, in the end, home is where the heart is, wherever that may be.
In the tradition of Helen Brown’s international bestseller Cleo and based on her
enormously popular Huffington Post blog, Bono is a funny, tender and insightful story
about life, love and recovery - and a rock-star rescue cat with a big heart.
The Darkest Minds - Book 1:
Movie Tie-in Edition
by Alexandra Bracken
When Ruby woke up on her tenth birthday, something about her had changed.
Something frightening enough to make her parents lock her in the garage and call the
police. Something that got her sent to Thurmond, a government ‘rehabilitation camp’.
Ruby might have survived the mysterious disease that killed most of America’s children,
but she and the others had emerged with something far worse: frightening abilities they
could not control.
Now sixteen, Ruby is one of the dangerous ones. When the truth comes out, Ruby
barely escapes Thurmond with her life. Now on the run, she is desperate to find East
River, the only safe haven left for kids like her, and she joins a group of other runaways
who have escaped their own camps. Liam, their brave leader, is falling for Ruby, but she
can’t risk getting close. Not after what happened to her parents. When they arrive at East
River, nothing is as it seems, least of all Liam. But there are also other forces at work,
people who will stop at nothing to use Ruby in their fight against the government. Ruby
will be faced with a terrible choice - and one that may mean giving up her only chance
at having a life worth living.
The first book in the NYT bestselling series, that is soon to become a major
motion picture.
