It’s about time big retailers did their bit to tackle the global issue<br />
of plastic waste.<br />
Countdown Ferrymead will go plastic bag-free on Monday<br />
(see page 3).<br />
It is one of 10 Countdown stores making the move throughout<br />
New Zealand.<br />
The stores will be used to test the change and gather customer<br />
feedback before further changes are made to all 182 stores.<br />
Customers will have to take their own bags, buckets or boxes<br />
to carry their shopping.<br />
It may take a while to get used to, but habits can be changed<br />
and soon enough we will learn to take our own bags.<br />
It’s a great step in the right direction and I hope more businesses<br />
will follow.<br />

Supermarket goes plastic bag-free<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
Kiri Hannifin<br />
COUNTDOWN Ferrymead<br />
will go plastic-bag free on<br />
Monday.<br />
It’s one of 10 supermarkets<br />
nationwide the company has<br />
chosen would be single-use plastic<br />
bag-free by the start of June.<br />
Customers at the Ferrymead<br />
store will need to bring their<br />
own “bags, or bucket or box<br />
. . . whatever they want,” said<br />
Countdown<br />
general manager<br />
corporate<br />
affairs, Kiri<br />
Hannifin.<br />
Since it announced<br />
its decision<br />
to phase<br />
out single-use<br />
plastic carrier<br />
bags last year, Countdown<br />
customers had already reduced<br />
their use of plastic bags by just<br />
over <strong>16</strong> per cent, she said.<br />
“We’re really heartened so<br />
many of our customers are<br />
already really committed to using<br />
less plastic when they shop<br />
with us. However, we know the<br />
biggest barrier to change is to<br />
get into a new habit of bringing<br />
your own bags. We’re starting<br />
to talk with customers in these<br />
first 10 stores now and are really<br />
looking forward to helping them<br />
make the switch as easily as<br />
possible.”<br />
Countdown is moving to get<br />
rid of the environmentallydamaging<br />
bags in the 10 supermarkets<br />
across the country by<br />
Christmas.<br />
The others are in Blenheim,<br />
Auckland, Wellington, Gisborne,<br />
Dargaville and Whanganui.<br />
Selected stores represent a<br />
range of sizes, checkout and<br />
bag carousel layouts, cities and<br />
smaller towns, said Ms Hannifin.<br />
They would be used to test<br />

Customer Sally<br />
Burnard of<br />

is good to reduce<br />

used to not<br />

feedback before rolling it out<br />
to all 182 stores around New<br />
Zealand.<br />
“If (customers) get caught<br />
short, our popular black reusable<br />
bags are just $1. We’ll also<br />
have other alternatives available<br />
which you’ll see after <strong>May</strong> 21.”<br />
What shoppers<br />
are saying<br />
Lisa Brignull,<br />
of Mt<br />
Pleasant:<br />
“It is a great<br />
idea that we<br />
shall use<br />
fewer plastic<br />
bags with<br />
less waste,<br />
especially on the hills where I<br />
run. It can only be a good thing<br />
and yes, I shall use my own<br />
bags.”<br />
Jeremy<br />
Smith, of<br />
Ferrymead:<br />
“I guess that it<br />
is a good idea<br />
as something<br />
has to be<br />
done to get<br />
rid of the<br />
plastic in the oceans. I usually<br />
forget to bring my bags as I<br />
usually don’t buy a lot, and<br />
I am able to carry most of it.<br />
Boxes of beer have handles<br />
anyway.”<br />

The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart<br />
by Holly ringland<br />
The most enchanting debut novel of <strong>2018</strong>, this is an irresistible, deeply moving and<br />
romantic story of a young girl, daughter of an abusive father, who has to learn the hard way<br />
that she can break the patterns of the past, live on her own terms and find her own strength.<br />
After her family suffers a tragedy, nine-year-old Alice Hart is forced to leave her idyllic seaside<br />
home. She is taken in by her grandmother, June, a flower farmer who raises Alice on the<br />
language of Australian native flowers, a way to say the things that are too hard to speak.<br />
Under the watchful eye of June and the women who run the farm, Alice settles, but grows<br />
up increasingly frustrated by how little she knows of her family’s story. In her early twenties,<br />
Alice’s life is thrown into upheaval again when she suffers devastating betrayal and loss.<br />
Desperate to outrun grief, Alice flees to the dramatically beautiful central Australian desert. In<br />
this otherworldly landscape Alice thinks she has found solace, until she meets a charismatic<br />
and ultimately dangerous man.<br />
Spanning two decades, set between sugar cane fields by the sea, a native Australian flower<br />
farm, and a celestial crater in the central desert, The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart follows Alice’s<br />
unforgettable journey, as she learns that the most powerful story she will ever possess is<br />
her own.<br />
Hunting El Chapo:<br />
Taking Down the World’s Most-Wanted Drug Lord<br />
by Andrew Hogan, douglas Century<br />
This is the incredible story of D.E.A. Special Agent Andrew Hogan’s seven-year-long<br />
chase to capture El Chapo, a multibillionaire drug-lord and escape-artist posing as<br />
a Mexican Robin Hood, who in reality was a brutal sociopath responsible for the<br />
murders of thousands. His greedy campaign to take over his rivals’ territories resulted<br />
in an unprecedented war with a body count of over 100,000.<br />
This intimate thriller tells how Hogan single-mindedly and methodically climbed the<br />
ladder within the hierarchy of the Sinaloa Cartel – the world’s wealthiest and most<br />
powerful drug-trafficking organization – by creating one of the most sophisticated<br />
undercover operations in the history of the D.E.A. From infiltrating Chapo’s inner circle<br />
to leading a white-knuckle manhunt with an elite brigade of Mexican Marines, Hogan<br />
left no stone unturned in his hunt for the world’s most powerful drug kingpin.<br />
Dictatorland: The Men Who Stole Africa<br />
by Paul Kenyon<br />
The dictator who grew so rich on his country’s cocoa crop that he built a 35-storeyhigh<br />
basilica in the jungles of the Ivory Coast. The austere, incorruptible leader who<br />
has shut Eritrea off from the world in a permanent state of war and conscripted every<br />
adult into the armed forces. In Equatorial Guinea, the paranoid despot who thought<br />
Hitler was the saviour of Africa and waged a relentless campaign of terror against<br />
his own people. The Libyan army officer who authored a new work of political<br />
philosophy, The Green Book, and lived in a tent with a harem of female soldiers,<br />
running his country like a mafia family business.<br />
And behind these almost incredible stories of fantastic violence and excess lie the<br />
dark secrets of Western greed and complicity, the insatiable taste for chocolate,<br />
oil, diamonds and gold that have encouraged dictators to rule with an iron hand,<br />
siphoning off their share of the action into mansions in Paris and banks in Zurich and<br />
keeping their people in dire poverty.<br />

School decision fuels debate<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
THE ARM-WRESTLE over a<br />
new site for Redcliffs School has<br />
heated up again.<br />
Last Wednesday Greater<br />
Christchurch Regeneration<br />
Minister Megan Woods has<br />
given approval for changes to<br />
the District Plan, allowing the<br />
school to be built on Redcliffs<br />
Park.<br />
Friends of<br />
Redcliffs Park<br />
spokesman<br />
Chris Doudney<br />
said the minister<br />
had got it<br />
wrong.<br />
Kate<br />
McClelland<br />
Darren<br />
Fidler<br />
“I suspect the<br />
information she<br />
was given was<br />
limited and<br />
she would have<br />
been limited<br />
as to what she<br />
could base her<br />
decision on.<br />
Very much<br />
the same as<br />
the community<br />
board hearing<br />
last August where our own<br />
submission couldn’t be received<br />
or discussed because the scope<br />
of the argument was limited to<br />
considering the school on the<br />
park.”<br />
He said they wanted to get<br />
more information about the<br />
basis for the minister’s decision.<br />
For seven years the school has<br />
been operating from the Van<br />
Asch campus in Sumner, after<br />
earthquake-generated rockfall<br />
at its former site.<br />
In March 2015 the Government<br />
proposed the school’s closure<br />
but following community<br />
outcry, it agreed in June 20<strong>16</strong> to<br />
return the school to Redcliffs –<br />
provided it be established on a<br />
different site.<br />
Deputy principal Kate McClelland<br />
was “thrilled” the school<br />
will be rebuilt at Redcliffs Park.<br />
Said Ms McClelland: “After<br />
seven years we’re very excited to<br />
be finally able to return to our<br />
home in Redcliffs. After all the<br />
work that’s been done working<br />
towards this day, we’re thrilled.”<br />
Families and pupils were<br />
notified yesterday morning,<br />
shortly after the decision was<br />
announced.<br />
Board of trustees chairman<br />
Darren Fidler was “happy and<br />
CHANGE:<br />
Greater<br />
Regeneration<br />
Minister Megan<br />
Woods has<br />
approved the<br />
rezoning of<br />
Redcliffs Park<br />
as a school.<br />
relieved” at the news.<br />
“We can finally get back. It’s<br />
been a long seven years.”<br />
He said it had been an open<br />
and transparent process.<br />
“The minister put out all the<br />
information that she used to<br />
inform her decision so the due<br />
process has been followed . . .<br />
we’re looking forward to getting<br />
back to the core business of<br />
educating kids. That’s all we’ve<br />
ever wanted to do and this has<br />
been a massive distraction from<br />
that.”<br />

Deep-bore drilling to dispose<br />
of wastewater under test<br />
A NEW method for<br />
disposing of Akaroa’s<br />
treated wastewater is being<br />
tested.<br />
Deep bore injection has<br />
been used to dispose of<br />
treated wastewater and<br />
stormwater in other parts<br />
of New Zealand, but has<br />
not been<br />
used on<br />
Banks Peninsula.<br />
The city<br />
council’s acting<br />
head of<br />
three waters<br />
Helen<br />
Beaumont<br />
and waste<br />
Helen Beaumont<br />
said it<br />
is important<br />
to test the method.<br />
“It’s not a new method<br />
– it’s been used in other<br />
places – but we need to<br />
know how it will work in<br />
the rocks specific to Banks<br />
Peninsula, and whether it’s<br />
effective, or even possible,”<br />
Ms Beaumont said.<br />
At present, treated wastewater<br />
is discharged into the<br />
harbour via an outfall pipe<br />
out from Green Point.<br />
The city council’s consent<br />
application for a new<br />
outfall to the harbour was<br />
declined in 2015. It has<br />
been exploring alternatives<br />
since then.<br />
“The topography and<br />
erodible soils around<br />
Akaroa, combined with the<br />
volume of wastewater that<br />
needs to be discharged,<br />
means that irrigating all<br />
wastewater to land is challenging.<br />
This is why we’re<br />
exploring this new option<br />
THE ANNUAL tree<br />
planting at Ferrymead’s<br />
Charlesworth Reserve is set<br />
to take place on Sunday.<br />
The event is part of the<br />
programme to restore<br />
Charlesworth Reserve’s<br />
wetland area to native<br />
bush.<br />
Trees for Canterbury,<br />
who would supply the<br />
trees for event, said the<br />
restoration programme had<br />
already improved wildlife<br />
in the area.<br />
Since the reserve opened<br />
in 2005, more 100,000<br />
plants have been planted at<br />
the site.<br />
“We have birdlife and<br />
insect life returning, flaura<br />
and fauna has changed<br />
drastically for the better,”<br />
Trees for Canterbury manager<br />
Steve Bush said.<br />
People wanting to take<br />
part in the planting event<br />
only needed to take themselves<br />
and a spade, he said.<br />
“All plants are native, all<br />
are original plants of the<br />
WASTE: Consent to discharge wastewater into<br />
Akaroa harbour expires in 2020.<br />
of deep bore injection,” Ms<br />
Beaumont said.<br />
Deep bore injection involves<br />
drilling several holes<br />
into suitable layers of rock.<br />
The treated wastewater<br />
then flows through naturally<br />
occurring fractures in<br />
the rock, and over a long<br />
period reaches the sea or<br />
harbour.<br />
The treated wastewater is<br />
contained within the steel<br />
lining of the bore until it<br />
reaches the desired dispersal<br />
depth, when the lining<br />
changes to a mesh.<br />
“During the tests,<br />
we will investigate the<br />
possibility of releasing<br />
treated wastewater into<br />
the ground below sea level,<br />
to prevent it entering any<br />
local springs – which is<br />
very unlikely because the<br />
treated wastewater would<br />
have to travel uphill,” said<br />
Ms Beaumont.<br />
It is estimated that<br />
about four bores would be<br />
needed. These would be<br />
spaced 50 to 100m apart,<br />
Christchurch area,” Mr<br />
Bush said.<br />
Support for the project<br />
came from the city council<br />
and the Avon-Heathcote<br />
Estuary Ihutai Trust.<br />
But the community<br />
support was what made<br />
continued restoration work<br />
successful.<br />
“All of these projects rely<br />
on community ownership,<br />
the community has to get<br />
behind these things,” Mr<br />
Bush said.<br />
PHOTO: STEVE WILLIAMS <br />
with a flow rate of up to five<br />
litres a second down each<br />
bore.<br />
“Treated wastewater<br />
would enter the bores either<br />
by gravity or with the<br />
assistance of a low-pressure<br />
pump,” Ms Beaumont said.<br />
Before being able to<br />
consult the community on<br />
deep bore injection as one<br />
of the options for dealing<br />
with Akaroa’s treated<br />
wastewater, the city council<br />
needs to collect data to<br />
determine whether this<br />
method is suitable.<br />
The proposed test drilling<br />
site is where the new<br />
wastewater treatment plant<br />
will be built, at the top of<br />
Old Coach Rd, with a second<br />
test drilling site across<br />
the road, alongside Old<br />
French Rd.<br />
The drill will operate<br />
between 7.30am and 6pm,<br />
six days a week, and the<br />
work is subject to the noise<br />
limits of the area and has to<br />
comply with the conditions<br />
of the regional plan.<br />

Mid-<strong>May</strong> was the best<br />
time of year to plant the<br />
trees, he said.<br />
“The plant can get settled<br />
and the roots can get good<br />
moisture. By summer,<br />
when the ground dries, the<br />
plants will have got a good<br />
hold on the ground,” Mr<br />
Bush said.<br />
The planting is scheduled<br />
between 10am and noon<br />
and people are encouraged<br />
to take along family and<br />
friends.<br />

Sandy <strong>Bay</strong> cyclist, 84, takes on Budapest<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
FOR MOST 84-year-olds,<br />
clocking up 100km a day<br />
on a bike would be a tough<br />
ask, especially after two knee<br />
replacements and a hip pin.<br />
Not so for Sandy <strong>Bay</strong>’s Eric<br />
Hunter.<br />
Age is no barrier for this<br />
former Liverpudlian, and he’s<br />
delighted to be amongst a group<br />
of 17 mostly-kiwis taking a 13-<br />
day bike tour of Budapest in July.<br />
“You have to bear in mind it’s<br />
not a race,” he says. “You’ve got<br />
all day to do 100km so you can<br />
stop for coffee and lunch and<br />
afternoon tea and then arrive<br />
at the day’s destination by 4pm<br />
usually.”<br />
He’s already pretty fit, clocking<br />
up around 250km a week on his<br />
trusty yellow Carrerra road bike.<br />
These days the steep uphill<br />
climb from Governors <strong>Bay</strong> to<br />
Summit Rd gets a pass.<br />
Instead, he prefers to drive<br />
over to Princess Margaret Hospital<br />
and ride out from there with a<br />
couple of pals.<br />
“My racing days are over so I<br />
don’t have to do those steep rides<br />
anymore.”<br />
Eric Hunter was born in Liverpool<br />
and rode for England in the<br />
early 1950s, including the multistage<br />
Tour of Ireland and the Isle<br />
of Man International Road Race.<br />
He was also a non-travelling<br />
reserve for the 1956 Melbourne<br />
Olympics.<br />
Though he started riding for<br />
England at around age 19, it<br />
turned out to be only a threeyear<br />
stint when his work as an<br />
ON YA BIKE:<br />
86-year-old<br />
Eric Hunter is<br />
heading off to<br />
a two-week<br />
cycling tour of<br />
Budapest.<br />
apprentice chef demanded he<br />
make a choice.<br />
“I was told I needed to make<br />
my mind up whether I wanted to<br />
be a chef or a cyclist.”<br />
Knowing cycling wouldn’t<br />
last forever, he eased back and<br />
concentrated on a career in the<br />
kitchen.<br />
Back in those days, you had to<br />
do an apprenticeship before going<br />
into hotel management.<br />
In 1962 he married cycling<br />
enthusiast Maureen, a loyal supporter<br />
of the Merseyside Wheelers<br />
Cycling Club.<br />
Eric himself rode for the Melling<br />
Wheelers, which later became the<br />
Kirkby Rd Cycling Club.<br />
The pair came to New Zealand<br />
in 1964 to manage hotels.<br />
But it was a culture shock for<br />
Eric, who’d been used to England’s<br />
residential hotels.<br />
“New Zealand hotels were<br />
more like pubs back then – and<br />
they were drinking pubs. Remember<br />
the days of six o’clock<br />
closing? I’d never had anything<br />
to do with that (sort of thing.)<br />
And I was surprised to find the<br />
Tourist Hotel Corporation were<br />
the only ones allowed to build<br />
hotels but they could only do so<br />
in national parks.”<br />
Eric and Maureen worked at<br />
the Chateau Tongariro on Mt<br />
Ruapehu and newly-opened<br />
Avon Motor Lodge in Christchurch,<br />
before returning to England<br />
in 1966.<br />

Cycling challenge for 84-year-old<br />
•From page 8<br />
“Then I had a call from Maurice<br />
Carter, the father of David<br />
Carter. I’d been very close to that<br />
family and they asked me if I’d<br />
be interested in coming back. So<br />
I did and I managed the Avon<br />
and the following year (the family)<br />
built the George Hotel, in<br />
about 1968.”<br />
When the Avon was sold,<br />
he and David Carter bought<br />
the historic Coachman Inn on<br />
Gloucester St.<br />
There was always the cycling<br />
though, and running too.<br />
He started that because it took<br />
up less time than cycling.<br />
In 1983, Mr Hunter won the<br />
teams section in the first ever<br />
Coast-to-Coast and went on to<br />
complete the teams event a further<br />
10 times, gaining another<br />
first and two seconds.<br />
“It was a lot harder in those<br />
days,” he says. “In 1983 the run<br />
over the Mingha-Deception (Goat<br />
Pass) route didn’t have the boardwalks<br />
so you had to go over the<br />
gullies on your backside.”<br />
The last time he raced was<br />
about four years ago aged 79.<br />
Race founder Robin Judkins<br />
confirmed he was the oldest person<br />
ever to complete the 243km<br />
event.<br />
He said he wasn’t at all<br />
alarmed by Eric’s age.<br />
“The oldest guy before him<br />
SPEED: Eric Hunter racing in Liverpool in 1956, at 22.<br />
was 77 and his partner was 75 so<br />
having really old people in the<br />
event, when they’re doing it in a<br />
team (wasn’t a problem.) He did<br />
the things which he’s very good<br />
at, the mountain run and the<br />
bike ride . . . he’ll go on doing<br />
these things until he’s 100. He’s<br />
extremely fit and very determined,”<br />
said Mr Judkins.<br />
Eric himself is more circumspect<br />
as far as hanging up the lycra<br />
goes: “I don’t know. I still go<br />
canoeing because I live in Sandy<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> and my driveway goes down<br />
to the beach. And apart from going<br />
on the bike five times a week<br />
I also play golf on a Thursday. So<br />
I don’t know – when the good<br />
Lord decides enough’s enough.”<br />

Property Management<br />
Opportunity<br />
We’re on the lookout for a Business Development Manager to join our Property Management<br />
team. In a country renowned for our “can-do” Kiwi attitude it’s not always best to manage your<br />
own rental property. There’s a lot that can go wrong, particularly dealing with the introduction<br />
of new rules around insulation and asbestos as well as increased awareness of issues<br />
regarding methamphetamine along with a myriad of other problems that can occur with a<br />
rental property. Relieving yourself of the ongoing hassle and disruption of this can be quite<br />
a weight off your shoulders. In our experience investment property owners who engage the<br />
use of a professional property manager are often a lot more relaxed about their investment<br />
property than the owner who may be at the ongoing beck-and-call of their tenants.<br />
With this in mind we’re keen to hire a Business Development Manager to our team.<br />
Someone who can go out and speak to private landlords about the advantages of having their<br />
investment property managed as well as being able to attract new business. If you think this is<br />
something you could be interested in give me a call to arrange an interview.<br />

Equine<br />
Community<br />
has made a<br />
submission<br />
on the city<br />
council’s<br />
Long Term<br />
Plan in a bid<br />
to establish<br />
a Lyttelton<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong><br />
Equine Hub. <br />
• By Emily O’Connell<br />
A SUBMISSION on the city<br />
council’s Long Term Plan<br />
could see the establishment of<br />
a multipurpose riding arena at<br />
Allandale Domain.<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> Equine Community<br />
co-ordinator Laila Aldridge has<br />
made a submission on behalf of<br />
the group to establish a Lyttelton<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> Equine Hub, and will<br />
speak to city councillors about<br />
the proposal tomorrow.<br />
The group said its vision was to<br />
establish the hub by building an<br />
all-weather, covered riding arena.<br />
The equine community wants<br />
the city council to<br />
continue to fund drainage<br />
and existing riding<br />
facility upgrades at the<br />
domain over the next<br />
three years.<br />
Its submission said<br />
the domain and horse<br />
paddock had “deteriorated<br />
heavily” since the<br />
earthquakes.<br />
The group puts the<br />
deterioration down to poor<br />
drainage and weather exposure.<br />
But it believes the proposed facility<br />
would be beneficial.<br />
“The hub would provide the<br />
necessary infrastructure to grow<br />

THE LYTTELTON Recreation<br />
Ground reserve management<br />
committee is hoping to re-turf<br />
its rugby field and wants funding<br />
from the city council’s Long<br />
Term Plan.<br />
It comes after the Lyttelton<br />
premier reserve team gained<br />
approval to enter division one<br />
of the Hawkins Metro Premier<br />
Reserve competition.<br />
Committee chairman David<br />
Sanders said the move is “exciting,<br />
not just for the rugby club,<br />
but the entire community.”<br />
However, the Canterbury<br />
Rugby Football Union is asking<br />
for a high standard of support<br />
facilities, including the grounds.<br />
Mr Sanders spoke at a submission<br />
hearing on Monday about<br />
the committee’s plan to either<br />
re-turf or re-sow the field and establish<br />

Funding needed to re-turf<br />
Lyttelton rugby ground<br />
programme.<br />
“The original turf is some<br />
decades old and a re-turf of the<br />
complete ground will provide<br />
an improved playing surface for<br />
many years to come.”<br />
Mr Sanders said all playing<br />
surfaces require a re-turf at some<br />
time.<br />
He asked that funding be<br />
granted for an independent<br />
review by a turf specialist to<br />
provide estimated costs and the<br />
best solution for the job.<br />
“Alternatively, at the very least,<br />
if a re-turf is not supported then<br />
a re-sow of the entire ground<br />
would be a good second option,”<br />
he said.<br />
To maintain the new turf, a<br />
seasonal fertiliser and irrigation<br />
programme would be needed to<br />
ensure it is kept to a high quality.<br />

Keep Redcliffs Park and the school too<br />
Friends of<br />
Redcliffs Park<br />
spokesman<br />
Chris Doudney<br />
writes on<br />
behalf of the<br />
group about<br />
the decision to<br />
rebuild Redcliffs School on<br />
the park<br />
REDCLIFFS SCHOOL proudly<br />
thrived at the centre of our<br />
community from 1907 until the<br />
February 22, 2011, earthquake.<br />
With closure threatened,<br />
intensity of protest ensured that<br />
a decision was taken to return<br />
the school to Redcliffs but, in<br />
an apparent twist of spite, to<br />
another flood-prone site.<br />
The board of trustees that<br />
had so stalwartly fought for the<br />
school, and had so fully justified<br />
the safety of the school site,<br />
found itself forced into a corner.<br />
The then Minister of Education<br />
Hekia Parata gave it only two<br />
choices: A school on Redcliffs<br />
Park, or no school in Redcliffs,<br />
even though there was ample<br />
evidence that the existing school<br />
site was safe.<br />
There is no cogent reason for<br />
abandoning the present school.<br />
So why did the Ministry of<br />
Education want to spend $15<br />
million on a new school and<br />

Anything You Can Imagine:<br />
Peter Jackson and the Making<br />
of Middle-earth<br />
by Ian Nathan, Andy Serkis<br />
The definitive history of Peter Jackson’s Middle-earth saga,<br />
Anything You Can Imagine takes us on a cinematic journey across<br />
all six films, featuring brand-new interviews with Peter, his cast & crew.<br />
From the early days of daring to dream it could be done, through the highs and lows of<br />
making the films, to fan adoration and, finally, Oscar glory.<br />
Anything You Can Imagine tells the full, dramatic story of how Jackson and his trusty<br />
fellowship of Kiwi filmmakers dared take on a quest every bit as daunting as Frodo’s,<br />
and transformed JRR Tolkien’s epic tale of adventure into cinematic magic, and then did<br />
it again with The Hobbit.<br />
Enriched with brand-new interviews with Jackson, his fellow filmmakers and many of the<br />
films’ stars, Ian Nathan’s mesmerising narrative whisks us to Middle-earth, to gaze over<br />
the shoulder of the director as he creates the impossible, the unforgettable, and proves<br />
that film-making really is ‘anything you can imagine’.<br />
Cross Her Heart<br />

wants is a quiet life with her daughter, Ava. And when she meets a new man, things<br />
seem to be falling into place. But Lisa is hiding a secret so momentous it could shatter<br />
her entire world…<br />
Is it Ava? - When sixteen-year-old Ava saves a young boy’s life, she becomes a local<br />
hero. But never in a million years could she have anticipated the fallout of her actions…<br />
Is it Marilyn? - Marilyn has the perfect life. Her husband, her job, her house-she seems<br />
to have it all. But she could never admit to her best friend Lisa the lies she tells herself to<br />
get through the day…<br />
One moment will change these three women’s lives forever. And the secrets they’ve been<br />
keeping could destroy them all.<br />

to the school because of rockfall<br />
risk”, even though consultants<br />
had confirmed there was no<br />
such risk, and he expressed<br />
doubt about risks of flooding at<br />
Redcliffs Park (it flooded twice<br />
in 2017) and even, bizarrely, cast<br />
doubt on climate change as being<br />
accepted science.<br />
Redcliffs Park was to be<br />
sacrificed for no good reason in<br />
this game of political football.<br />
It was always a wetland, which<br />
is why it was never built on and<br />
was set aside as a park. It is so<br />
low-lying that it regularly<br />
floods, is right beside the estuary<br />
with all its dangers to small<br />
children, and is at risk from a<br />
Canterbury tsunami (which we<br />

properly consider the overall<br />
proposal.<br />
Thus the city council was<br />
persuaded to give away its<br />
only waterfront park with no<br />
consultation on the alternatives<br />
for the school. And the Minister<br />
for Greater Christchurch<br />
Regeneration Megan Woods<br />
was persuaded to permit the<br />
Ministry of Education to proceed<br />
without full consultation<br />
required by the RMA (which<br />
would have required the<br />
ministry to give proper reasons<br />
for taking the park).<br />
Meanwhile, the cycleway is<br />
increasingly used by residents<br />
and visitors alike, and the park<br />
used more and more.<br />
We must ensure that the<br />
school is reinstated at its present<br />
excellent site, happily in a<br />
matter of months, without the<br />
additional expense, delays and<br />
disruption of a new school build.<br />
Time for a rethink and a<br />
return to sanity.

Time to take care of your boat<br />
Lyttelton-based<br />
navigational safety officer<br />
Gary Manch gives a few<br />
boat maintenance tips<br />
WE’RE WELL into autumn now<br />
with trees dropping their leaves<br />
everywhere, weather getting<br />
colder and not as many people<br />
out and about on the water.<br />
This is the right time to consider<br />
what maintenance your<br />
boat requires. It doesn’t matter<br />
whether it’s a paddleboard or a<br />
10m power boat, all watercraft<br />
require maintenance.<br />
The first question you must<br />
ask yourself is: Do I have the<br />
right equipment and expertise to<br />
work on my boat? If the answer<br />
is no, then the best thing is to<br />
book your boat into your local<br />
boat dealer for a service and<br />
check-up. They have qualified<br />
people who will ensure everything<br />
is shipshape.<br />
If you are going to do your<br />
own maintenance over the winter,<br />
below is a list of questions<br />
I recommend asking yourself.<br />
They may not all apply to your<br />
vessel.<br />
Are the rigging, lines and sails<br />
in good order with no signs of<br />
tearing, wearing or damage?<br />
Is the exterior of the vessel in<br />
good shape, with no dings or<br />
Pirate’s Corner<br />
damage? Has the inboard or<br />
outboard motor (including any<br />
auxiliary) been serviced? Have<br />
you checked the propeller for<br />
damage, made sure there are no<br />
oil leaks from the motor when<br />
it’s running, and put the battery<br />
on charge over the winter?<br />
Is all the safety equipment on<br />
board in good order? Have you<br />
got a bailer, flares, a torch and<br />
two types of communication<br />
appropriate for your vessel? Is<br />
your first-aid kit current and in<br />
a waterproof container? Are all<br />
the cables and wiring in good<br />
condition and waterproofed<br />
where required?<br />
Have all lifejackets been<br />
checked for damage, especially<br />
ones that may sit in the locker<br />
or front of the boat and not get<br />
used regularly? Have inflatable<br />
lifejackets been manually<br />
inflated and checked? Have the<br />
cylinders been checked for corrosion?<br />
Are your anchors and<br />
anchor lines all in good condition?<br />
Have you checked all the<br />
shackles and ensured the pins<br />
are melded or have a cable tie<br />
locking them in place? Does the<br />
vessel comply with the new rules<br />
in relation to identification? It’s<br />
easier than you think, and winter<br />
is a good time to get it sorted<br />
while your boat may not be used<br />
as frequently. See ecan.govt.nz/<br />
navsafety for information.<br />
If the boat is towed by a trailer,<br />
does it have a current warrant of<br />
fitness? Are the wheel bearings<br />
in good condition? Is the tow<br />
connection sound, with security<br />
chains working?<br />
If you can say yes to all the<br />
above, well done and safe boating.<br />
One final reminder is to<br />
always clean the hull and trailer<br />
wheels when going into different<br />
waterways, especially freshwater<br />
ones. This stops the spread of<br />
horrible things like lagarosiphon<br />
and didymo.<br />
Kairuri Lane is the new<br />
name for a private right of<br />
way in Heathcote, instead of<br />
the developer’s first choice<br />
of Reynard<br />
Kit Chambers – I totally<br />
agree with the sentiments of (developer<br />
David Fox) being outfoxed<br />
by city councillor Sara Templeton<br />
and the community board. It is<br />
my understanding the wording<br />
‘kai’ is Maori for food, food gathering,<br />
or food<br />
source and<br />
has little if<br />
any reference<br />
to ‘surveying’<br />
in the area.<br />
‘Kairuri’ is a<br />
boys school<br />
in Kenya or<br />
village. It is interesting to note<br />
in Paul Corliss’s book In the<br />
Shadow of the Rock, the property<br />
mentioned was purchased by the<br />
Myers family in 1937 from Edwin<br />
Mouldey and was established<br />
and managed by the Chambers<br />
family from 1948 as initially a<br />
vineyard and then a stone fruit<br />
orchard, and the official name for<br />
that property was known as Villa<br />
Nova.<br />
Perhaps a more appropriate<br />
name in keeping with tradition of<br />
the valley such as Flinders, Rollin,<br />
Martindales, Flavell, Marsden etc<br />
– all names from the early settlers<br />
who passed by Villa Nova on their<br />
weary trek over the Bridle Path in<br />
the 1850s from the first four ships

Sumner cut loose in Brighton<br />
to take first victory at ‘sandpit’<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
SUMNER’S 61-14 victory over<br />
New Brighton on Saturday was<br />
the club’s first ever premier grade<br />
win against their rivals at the<br />
sandpit.<br />
In doing so, Sumner also captured<br />
the Falton Shield, which is<br />
played for annually between the<br />
two clubs.<br />
Fresh off their 51-26 win over<br />
University a week earlier, Sumner<br />
continued their rich vein of form<br />
to establish early dominance.<br />
“It was a good day at the office,<br />
the boys were hissing like<br />
cut snakes,” said Sumner coach<br />
Martin Dodgson.<br />
“We were really up for it; we<br />
had a good week of prep. It was<br />
probably the most concentrated<br />
I’ve seen the boys. It was kind of<br />
like a perfect storm, everything<br />
that could go right did go right.”<br />
It was also a good day at the<br />
office for former New Brighton<br />
SPORTS<br />
player Filimoni Waqainabete.<br />
The Sumner back ran in three<br />
tries on the wing. Meanwhile,<br />
Japanese flanker Hiroki Yamamoto<br />
grabbed a double. There<br />
were also tries for Dylan Nel,<br />
Tatsuki Tomuroand, Josh Toy<br />
and Tom Ziolo.<br />
Dodgson had some sympathy<br />
for New Brighton coach Scott<br />
Pawson who was missing several<br />
key players. He also heaped<br />
praise on the opposition coach<br />
for being gracious in defeat.<br />
“He had a whole lot of young<br />
boys playing and his top boys not<br />
released from the Crusaders,”<br />
said Dodgson.<br />
“They’re obviously a mightily<br />
proud club. If plans go the way<br />
we want then hopefully we’ll<br />
meet up with them again later in<br />
the year and I’m sure we’ll feel<br />
the back hand of that.”<br />
The chances of that happening<br />
are high with both clubs on track<br />
to qualify for the top six.<br />
Sumner’s bonus point win<br />
moves them to third in the<br />
Hawkins Metro Premier Cup,<br />
while New Brighton drop to fifth.<br />
Just three rounds remain until<br />
the competition is split into the<br />
top and bottom six for the business<br />
end of the season.<br />
Sumner travel to Burwood<br />
Park to take on 11th-placed<br />
Shirley on Saturday.<br />
Hawkins Metro Premier Cup<br />
standings:<br />
Lincoln University 33pts, 1;<br />

Big night for surf lifesavers<br />
THE SUMNER and Taylors<br />
Mistake clubs have finalists<br />
in the <strong>2018</strong> Surf Life Saving<br />
Canterbury-Tasman awards of<br />
excellence.<br />
Both clubs are up for nine<br />
awards on Saturday night.<br />
Every year, regional awards of<br />
excellence ceremonies are held<br />
around the country to officially<br />
recognise SLSNZ members for<br />
their work and dedication.<br />
The Canterbury-Tasman<br />
awards will be held at Sixty6<br />
in the Christchurch Casino.<br />
They will also feature lifeguards<br />
from the South Brighton,<br />
New Brighton, North Beach,<br />
Waimairi, Spencer Park,<br />
Waikuku, Rarangi, Nelson,<br />
Buller, Nelson and Kotuku clubs.<br />
The night will begin with the<br />
presentation of service awards,<br />
followed by the top junior and<br />
senior age group awards.<br />
Then all the champions’<br />
trophies will be presented from<br />
the Canterbury championships<br />
held during the past season,<br />
followed by the presentation of<br />
major sporting and lifesaving<br />
awards, such as the lifeguard<br />
of the year and volunteer of the<br />
year.<br />
The evening will conclude<br />
with the announcement of<br />
club of the year. The winners<br />
of each category are then<br />
automatically selected as finalists<br />
in the national SLSNZ awards of<br />
excellence in September.<br />

Protect Against Chlorinated Water<br />
As the city is now chlorinating our drinking water you may be thinking about filtered water. The taste is definitely<br />
different, reminding us of the local swimming pool rather than something we want to gulp down. At Laser Plumbing<br />
Christchurch East, we specialise in installing whole house or partial home water filter systems.<br />
toP tiPs for A home WAter<br />
fiLter system:<br />
1. What water do you want to filter?<br />
If just drinking water look for a filter with a separate tap or a tap<br />
that you can switch between filtering or not. This allows the filter<br />
to last longer.<br />
Whole kitchen system? Look for a filter you can use with your<br />
existing tap. This will filter all your water through the tap and<br />
require more frequent replacement.<br />
Whole house system? This allows for great tasting water from<br />
any tap in the house as well as it will protect your fittings from<br />
hard water issues and give you nice soft water in your shower.<br />
2. Speed of the water flow. Filling your water bottle can be very<br />
slow with some water filters.<br />
3. How often do the cartridges need to be replaced? It is a bit like<br />
printers yeah sure you can buy them pretty cheap, but you’ll<br />
spend a heap replacing the cartridges.<br />
4. Looking for something that doesn’t cost too much but does<br />
the job? Look for a bench top filter. The filter sits on your bench<br />
rather than underneath out of sight.<br />
5. Looking for a filter that doesn’t need an extra tap on the<br />
bench? Look for a filter that uses your existing tap or a system<br />
with a tri flow tap that gives you 3 options hot/ cold/ cold<br />
filtered water.<br />
