MOVING: Swimmers take the plunge at Scarborough beach following the dedication of seats installed on the Esplanade in 

memory of Paul Zarifeh and Sam Zarifeh. 

SEVERAL hundred people 

thronged to Scarborough beach 

on Sunday morning to remember 

Paul and Sam Zarifeh, the Sumner 

father and son who died last year. 

Paul died of pancreatic 

cancer on November 23 aged 

60. Three weeks later, Sam died 

after falling from a raft on the 

Landsborough River, inland 

from Haast. 

Memorial seats dedicated to 

their memory were unveiled 

on the Esplanade, opposite 

Hardwicke St at 11am. 

Staff and students from 

Christchurch Boys’ High School, 

where Sam was a teacher and 

boarding master, performed 

a haka on the beach and a 

community mid-winter swim 

followed, which attracted more 

than 100 swimmers on an 

unusually warm winter’s day. 

Organiser Julie Zarifeh, 

Paul’s widow and Sam’s 

mother, said the occasion had 

been a fabulous success and 

thanked the community for the 

“overwhelming support” shown.

people face trying to get resource

On Friday, Labour MPs Ruth 

Dyson, Duncan Webb and Poto

coastal residents and experts. 

Also at Friday’s meeting was 

Coastal-Burwood Community 

Board member Tim Sintes; Southshore 

is facing the same problems 

as Redcliffs. 

Ms Dyson said after the meeting 

the MPs were pleased to learn 

first hand of the “significant implications” 

of the District Plan. 

“We have not yet reached a view 

on what intervention, if any, is 

necessary or appropriate. We have 

agreed to do further investigations 

into the process before we 

make such a decision,” she said.

A REAL test is emerging for Government 

MPs Ruth Dyson, Duncan Webb and Poto 

Williams (see page 1). 

They met on Friday with Christchurch 

Coastal Residents’ United. 

City council rules and regulations 

regarding flood zones was the issue on Friday. It is a very complicated 

matter with the issuing of resource consents and insurance 

cover potential big problems. 

Ms Dyson told Bay Harbour News they were pleased to learn 

first hand of the “significant implications” of the District Plan. 

“We have not yet reached a view on what intervention, if 

any, is necessary or appropriate. We have agreed to do further 

investigations into the process before we make such a decision,” 

she said. 

A lot of turbulent water to go under this bridge I suspect.

BLACK CAT Cruises will 

be instructed to remove all 

non-authorised structures 

from outside their premises on 

Akaroa wharf. 

On Monday, the Banks 

Peninsula Community Board 

rejected a city council staff recommendation 

that only signs, a 

ramp and hand rails should be 

removed or cut back. 

Instead, 

they insisted 

that all nonconsented 

structures 

should be removed 

within 

three months 

– including 

seating, a 

Andrew Turner 

disability access ramp, canopies 

and supporting poles. 

The board felt the staff 

recommendation did not go 

far enough and did not reflect 

community expectations. 

It follows concerns from 

wharf users and the community 

that the structures were 

encroaching on publicly-owned 

land and creating issues with 

wharf access – including for 

emergency vehicles – and overcrowding. 

Deputy Mayor Andrew 

Turner said a deputation from 

Akaroa Fisherman’s Association 

chairman John Wright at the 

meeting was well supported by 

a “large contingent” of members 

of the public and business owners. 

“It was very clear that the 

view . . . of those attending – 

through the deputation and 

other comments made – was 

that Black Cat shouldn’t be 


Wharf structures to go 

shown any favour over the 

unauthorised structures. There 

were consenting processes 

which should have been gone 

through which weren’t followed 

. . . the view expressed in the 

deputation to the meeting was 

that all of the structures should 

be removed.” 

He said the board had placed 

“significant” weighting on the 

community’s views when making 

their decision.

The board resolved to 

instruct Black Cat to remove 

the structures within the next 

three months, so the work is 

completed before cruise ships 

begin to arrive in October.

executive Paul Milligan is out

COUNTING THE BIRDS 

Predator-free groups in Sumner, 

Mt Pleasant, Redcliffs and

ages to spend an hour in their 

gardens between today and 

Sunday, July 8, and report the 

number and type of birds to

MUSEUM VISITORS INCREASE 

A record-breaking year for 

Akaroa Museum has seen visitor 

numbers increase by 5000 on the 

previous high. Close to 30,000 

people have been through the 

museum in the 2017/18 year, 

almost double the number of 

visitors before the 2010 and 2011 

earthquakes. Cruise ship visitors 

made up 20 per cent of the total 

figure. Meanwhile, there are 

91 cruise ship visits to Akaroa 

scheduled for the 2018/19 season, 

an increase of 16 on the previous 

season. However, the number of 

“double-days” – when two ships 

harbour on the same day – drops 

from 11 to 10. On February 11 

three ships are expected to berth 

together. The largest number of 

passengers on a single day – 7816 

– is expected on December 1.

Extra funding for 

multiple projects 

Multiple projects in the Bay 

Harbour News area were 

either brought forward 

or given extra funding in 

the Long Term Plan. Sarla 

Donovan reports 

•A total of $3.5 million for 

the repair and upgrade of the 

Diamond Harbour wharf has 

been set aside, and the work will 

now take place two years earlier 

than originally planned. Deputy 

Mayor Andrew Turner said 

the work was a “major capital 

project” which would make 

the wharf safer for elderly and 

less mobile people. Cr Turner 

said the money had been made 

available by extending the current 

funding time frame for the 

Naval Point Development by 

two years. “There are some big 

projects in there that will require 

quite a bit of planning and 

community engagement and 

engagement with other groups 

as well. The good news is that 

the $10.5 million remains on 

budget for that first tranche of 

work and by smoothing it over a 

longer period of time, (through 

to 2024/25 rather than 2022/23) 

we’ve been able to bring the 

Diamond Harbour wharf forward.” 

Meanwhile $10 million 

for renewal of Akaroa wharf was 

confirmed in the LTP budget 

with design work expected to 

commence this year. 

•A $10 million wastewater 

treatment scheme for Wainui 

is back on track after being 

previously removed from the 

10-year LTP. Cr Turner said he 

was pleased to see the project 

had been kept alive, after “raising 

expectations” among the 

community following consultation 

in 2015. The project is now 

scheduled for 2026-28 but Cr

Turner said he would be looking 

to advance it further during 

future LTP consultations. 

•Funding of $80,000 has been 

put in place to support a dedicated 

park ranger based in the 

Banks Peninsula reserves, along 

with $50,000 of operational 

expenditure. “Having someone 

based there will be great for 

building relationships between 

groups on the peninsula,” Cr 

Turner said. 

•Capital expenditure of $13 

million has been brought forward 

into 2026/7 and 2027/8; 

allowing the final Moncks Bay 

section of the coastal pathway 

to be completed. Heathcote 

Ward city councillor Sara Templeton 

said they were hopeful 

of getting NZTA to find up to 

50 per cent of the cost, due to 

safety issues with that section 

of pathway “and because it is 

replacement for one taken away 

due to rockfall remediation.” 

She said now the funding was 

within the city council’s 10- 

year budget, and should NZTA 

funding be forthcoming, the 

city council would have the 

option of bringing that money 

further forward again. 

•Additional funding of 

$143,000 will go towards 

surveying work and public 

consultation on the future of 

baches at Taylors Mistake beach 

and Boulder Bay. A working 

group headed by Cr Templeton 

is developing a proposal to go 

out for consultation in a few 

months. “It’s important that all 

of the information we have is accurate 

and that we go through a 

thorough process to ensure that 

any decisions we make are good 

ones,” Cr Templeton said.

Demolition work to 

start at school site swap 


FENCES ARE up and 

demolition work is imminent as 

the controversial Redcliffs Park 

and Redcliffs School site swap 

begins. 

The relocation of the school 

to Redcliffs Park has been fast 

tracked through special changes 

to the District Plan granted by 

Greater Christchurch Regeneration 

Minister Megan Woods in 

May. 

The existing school site will be 

turned into a public park. 

Redcliffs Residents Association 

acting chairwoman Christine 

Toner said like most Redcliffs 

residents and former pupils of 

the school, the 

association 

committee 

would be sad 

to see the 

“much loved” 

school buildings 

go. 

Simi Desor 

“There are 

varying views 

in the community 

about the changes but as 

with all the changes we have encountered 

since the earthquakes, 

we will move forward and get 

used to them eventually. For 

those who are directly affected, 

we hope that the Ministry of 

Education and city council staff 

will listen well and work fairly to 

minimise any negative impacts.” 

Friends of Redcliffs Park 

spokeswoman Simi Desor said it 

was not too late for a petition organised 

by the group which asks 

Parliament to enact legislation 

enabling the school to reopen on 

the former Main Rd site. 

“It’s not done yet,” Ms Desor 

said. “The petition is in place 

(until July 23) and 158 signatures 

thus far is not just a handful of 

neighbours. People should have

their voices heard, regardless of

She said the group was also 

awaiting a report from the Ombudsman’s 

office. 

Buildings and the playground 

will be cleared from the 

park from this month, while 

most of the school buildings are

Politicians called in over rising sea levels 

•From page 1 

At issue is the way sites in a ‘restricted 

unit overlay’ within the 

High Flood Hazard Management 

Area are treated by city council 

planners. 

CCRU say a restricted discretionary 

activity rule recommended 

by the Replacement District 

Plan independent hearings panel 

was left out when the plan was 

implemented last year. 

The restricted unit overlay 

comprises 1486 residential zoned 

sites within the HFMZA which 

are only at risk from future sea 

level rise – not river or tidal 

flooding. But CCRU said that 

property owners within the 

restricted unit overlay have been 

having extreme difficulty getting 

resource consent. Without the 

discretionary rule, under the 

District Plan the sites are treated 

the same as any others within 

the HFMZA, whereby “new developments 

or intensification of 

land uses in these areas are to be 

avoided.” Dr Latham said he was 

“unaware of the reason why the 

recommended rule was left out 

of the District Plan but it’s something 

we need to put right. We 

are seeking clarification as to why 

the intent of the wording does 

not match what has been put.”

Our People 

Lisa Brignull 

Marathon woman eyes up 

Sumner Running Club 

stalwart Lisa Brignull’s 

third place in the 

Christchurch Marathon 

secured her a personal 

best time of 3hr 4min and 

the Canterbury Marathon 

championship masters 

women’s title. The Boulder 

Bay Classic organiser tells 

Sarla Donovan how she 

came to New Zealand and 

is running faster than ever 

at 44 

What was it like to grow up in 

Johannesburg? 

Very different to the way of life 

over here. We lived in a residential 

area but you always knew 

that on the outskirts you couldn’t 

venture too far without danger 

being in your face. I’m very 

fortunate to live here but on the 

odd occasion I have been back to 

South Africa I would never really 

want to go back again to live. 

Did you ever experience a 

dangerous situation? 

When I was growing up, it was 

always somebody else’s family, 

but in more recent years, my 

own family have been attacked 

and it’s just a horrible situation. 

I have no real regrets leaving, 

although it was never something 

I had envisioned doing, living on 

the other side of the planet. The 

biggest thing I miss is my family 

because I have no South African 

family here at all. But my family 

were originally from Italy so I’ve 

got them scattered around the 

world. So I do miss my family 

and I miss the sunshine but we 

get to have good days here, too – 

it’s not all bad. 

Why did you leave and when? 

I left in 1997 to go and do an 

OE in London, as you do, and I 

ended up getting a nice job as a 

travel agent. I got to travel heaps 

and I just loved the atmosphere 

and got to run marathons all 

over Europe so I stayed. A few 

years before that I had met my 

now-husband on a Kontiki trip 

in Australia. When he told me he 

came from an island called New 

SUPER WOMAN: Lisa Brignull running with her dog Stella on Mt Pleasant Rd. 

Zealand, which is in the middle 

of nowhere, I immediately ruled 

it out: I said that’s ridiculous, I’d 

never go over there. We had this 

relationship going for quite some 

time and I just put it in the back 

of my head that it would never 

happen and then, eventually, he 

lured me over here to see what 

life was about and I just loved it. 

I couldn’t put it off anymore, that 

I really liked this guy. So I ended 

up coming to New Zealand and 

I’ve never looked back. 

So you shifted straight to 

Christchurch in 2004? 

Yes, it was really fortunate 

because I came over for about 

four weeks my first time and 

there was a running race called 

the Crater Rim. It was one of 

the first weekends I was here 

and everybody was so friendly I 

thought I was in running heaven. 

I said to Lee ‘I just love this place, 

why don’t we stay here?’ We got 

married in Fiji and all my new 

PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER 

running friends came to the 

wedding too. 

Which of the big marathons 

have you done? 

I did London six times, Hamburg, 

Rome, Paris. I went over to 

New York which was pretty cool. 

I did the Malta Marathon, the 

Lanzarote, one in Brussels.

it’s our 

So many I can’t remember. Quite a 

few in London itself like the Big Ben to 

Brighton ultra-marathon. We did the 

Great Wall of China Marathon after I 

shifted to New Zealand. 

Best race of all time? 

The Comrades Marathon in South 

Africa. I have only completed two comrades 

(so far) but they have honestly been 

life-changers for me. There is something 

special about running 90km with a bunch 

of like-minded people from around the 

globe. They call it the ‘world’s best ultra’ 

and I agree. 

You ran a personal best at the 

Christchurch Marathon this year. How 

do you train? 

I have a 17km circuit that I run three 

to four times a week from home over to 

Sumner and up Evans Pass back home. 

It has an elevation gain of 430m and this 

includes a 6km climb. My Strava app (a 

running and cycling app) tells me that I 

have run this 530 times now and all my 

friends who run it call it ‘Lisa’s loop.’ On 

the other days of the week, I run a 10km 

circuit after I’ve completed a session at 

the F45 gym in Ferrymead. I am totally 

addicted to this ‘functional training’ and 

it compliments my running immensely. I 

believe that a combination of this ‘training 

smarter’ has helped me achieve PBs 

at the age of 44. I only wish I had started 

earlier. 

You also teach cycle safety for the city 

council –you must be worn out at the 

end of the day? 

I’m usually in bed and asleep by nine 

o’clock but my alarm goes off at 5.05am 

and I get at least two hours of exercise in 

before I have to put on my next cap, being 

mum or off to work. But I enjoy it, I’m 

definitely not an office worker any more, 

those days are behind me; sitting at a desk 

just makes me grumpy. Having an active 

job and an active life is what I really enjoy. 

What does your family think about 

your passion for running? 

My kids have grown up knowing that 

mum trains and works hard to do what 

she does. I’ve had both my hammies reattached 

so it hasn’t all been easy going 

but they definitely think that I’m better 

off if I’ve been for a run. They know I’m 

going to be in a good mood. If I can’t get 

out for some reason, I feel it. I suppose 

you could call it a bit of an addiction but

children, Cara (11) and Christopher (8) 

have come to so many events where they 

encourage me along the route. My son’s 

really good at passing the water or a gel. 

I guess you don’t have much time for 

hobbies? 

Not really. I’m hopeless in the kitchen, 

Cara is a much better cook than me. I’ve 

got a gorgeous dog, she’s a collie cross 

huntaway and she runs with me in the 

morning. She’s my other love, we do a lot 

together. Keeping the housework up to 

scratch, clothes washed and ironed, that’s 

my other hobby. 

What’s still on the Lisa Brignell bucket 

list? 

I would love to do the Boston Marathon 

one day, that’s one of the big ones. And 

I’d love to do something really out there, 

like the Antarctic Marathon or something 

ridiculous like that. I might have to wait 

until the children have grown a bit more 

as it’ll be really expensive. My running 

friends say ‘Lisa, you need to go under 

three hours and we’ll call it a day’. It’s only 

a few seconds per kilometre but every 

second counts. I’d love to do it though. 

I think quietly in the back of my mind, 

that will be my goal for the Capetown 

Marathon in September – all going well. It 

is supposed to be a fast course but they do 

get big numbers.

Special service to mark Armistice Day 


THE SIGNING of the armistice 

that ended World War 1 will be 

marked with a special service at 

the Akaroa War Memorial. 

Church bells rang out around 

the world on Armistice Day – 

November 11, 1918 – signalling 

an end to “one of the deadliest 

events in the 

history of 

mankind,” 

said Banks

The

planned for 

11am on 

Sunday, November 11, include 

a guest speaker, readings and 

prayers from a padre, the 

singing of hymns and laying of 

wreaths. 

At St Peter’s Anglican Church 

there will be 11 bell rings, 11 

times. 

Floral tributes will be 

comprised of white flowers, as 

would have been the case in 

1918, said Mr Tichborne. 

It’s anticipated that rolled 

oat biscuits (forerunners of the 

Anzac biscuit) will be served 

after the ceremony, along with 

tea and coffee. 

In Okains Bay, the museum 

will be holding a special lunch 

following the service. 

Almost 100,000 New 

Zealanders served overseas in 

World War 1 from a population 

of 1.1 million. 

New Zealand forces first saw 

combat in 1915, at Egypt 

and Gallipoli but were 

engaged in the war until the 

bitter end. 

Around 18,000 New

because we’re cruisers too. 

Mel Hubber Kim Beswick Melissa May 

Owner Operator Owner Operator Travel Specialist 

Exploring by sea is one of the greatest forms of travel I 

have experienced. I have sailed from France around 

Corsica and the Greek islands on a 130 foot luxury 

yacht which gave me a great insight to some of the most 

beautiful ports and marinas in the world. River cruising 

is also a favourite and I have cruised the Rhine with 

Uniworld as well as the Christmas markets from Prague 

to Vienna with Avalon waterways. I also explored the 

beautiful islands of Croatia with Katarina Lines. 

Having worked on cruise ships for 8 years my first hand 

cruise experience & knowledge is extensive. I have 

literally cruised to all oceans and continents around the 

world, on large, medium and small sized ships. Favourite 

cruise destinations for me are the Caribbean, Norwegian 

Fjords, Mediterranean and Antarctica. Recently I have 

also experienced a river cruise on the Rhine with Avalon 

Waterways & am looking forward to returning to Alaska 

this year and revisiting my first ever cruise region. 

Cruising is one of my favourite ways to holiday as it allows 

you to do as much or as little as you like and getting the 

variety of visiting a range of destinations without the 

hassle of changing hotels and catching flights. I have been 

lucky enough to cruise on a few different cruise lines to a 

few different destinations, however one of my favourites 

is cruising in the South Pacific. You can board the ship in 

Auckland or Australia and get to visit some untouched 

tropical Islands that you may not normally be able to get to.

I love cruising! I’ve been fortunate enough to go on a 

few cruises, including a P&O one up the East Coast of 

Australia and one around the Greek Islands and Turkey. 

However, my favourite trip onboard a boat was a Sail 

Croatia trip. This was great way to travel! I really liked 

that you only had to unpack once, got to swim and relax 

during the day, and at night you could go and explore 

one of the various islands. I have a huge passion for 

travel and love exploring new destinations. 

I was lucky enough to sail the seven seas as a working 

crew member on board various size ships around the 

world for 5 years, to then be a guest onboard a Turkish 

Gulet sail trip along the Turquoise Coast to most recently 

an ocean cruise travelling solo in the Caribbean. Cruising 

offers something for everyone and now I get to inspire 

people to choose the right Cruise for them. To me travel is 

addictive, it’s an awe inspiring journey of discovery which 

fuels the soul & makes you richer. 

Cruising is a fantastic way to see the world! I love 

both the small ship experience, on board a yacht 

round the coast line of Croatia, as well as the bigger 

ship I was fortunate enough to enjoy up in the 

Baltics. Nothing beats unpacking once and arriving at 

a new destination each morning, relaxed and ready 

to explore. Travel is my passion & I love helping 

clients create an unforgettable experience that is 

uniquely their own!

Young chefs earn place in competition 


TWO PUPILS from Heathcote 

Valley School have won a 

place in a nationwide cooking 

competition with a creole dish 

from Reunion Island, east of 

Madagascar. 

The pair qualified for the Root 

to Tip final in Wellington next 

month where chef Al Brown will 

feature as head judge to crown 

this year’s winners. 

The Root to Tip competition 

has gone national after last year’s 

trial in Canterbury proved a 

roaring success. 

Otis Swallow and Noah Cobby 

from Diamond Harbour School 

won the inaugural competition. 

Year 6 pupils Nia McDonald 

and Jean Taylor competed 

against six other teams from 

Canterbury to take the regional 

crown with their choko gratin 

and rhubumble crumble. 

The pupils had to grate, slice, 

cook and plate a creative and 

delicious vegetable-based meal 

from ‘root to tip’ – leaving little 

or no food waste. 

Team manager and number 

one fan Rosamund McDonald 

will accompany the pair to Wellington 

where they’ll go head to 

head with 20 other budding food 

enthusiasts from around the 

country. 

Ms McDonald said the gratin 

recipe came through the mother 

WINNERS: Nia McDonald and Jean Taylor in action at the regional finals of the Root to Tip 

cooking competition. 

of a friend from Reunion Island, 

an elderly lady in her 90s. 

“Creole cooking uses lots of 

garlic and thyme and choko is 

very common there. Ours actually 

came from Gisborne because 

the season here was cut short 

with all the rain. Everything else 

was sourced from our gardens as 

much as possible.” 

The rhubumble crumble was 

an all-local seasonal affair made 

from the next door neighbour’s 

rhubarb, apple, lemons and 

Heathcote honey. 

They were ecstatic about the 

win after practising hard all 

week, Ms McDonald said. 

SCHOOLS 

TASTY: The winning dish – 

choko gratin. 

“I’ve just been so proud of the 

girls because they’ve worked so 

hard. To have this sort of success 

it’s got them really excited and 

confident.” 

The final is on August 2 

with the winning pupils each 

receiving a $1000 account with 

RaboDirect, plus one-year free 

membership to the Garden 

to Table programme for their 

school and a range of other 

kitchen items.

TRASH LAB has arrived at 

Redcliffs School. 

On Tuesday and Thursday 

the court area at the school was 

alive with children creating 

items out of cardboard boxes, 

plastic, ribbon, and what you 

would generally consider junk. 

Pupils of all ages are getting 

creative and building treasure 

out of trash. 

The older kids help the juniors, 

and share ideas with one 

another. 

It engages an element of collaborative 

learning, while helping 

the environment by reusing 

things and using imagination. 

Said senior pupil Martina: 

“It’s amazing what you can 

make out of a few boxes and 

some sellotape. Now there’s no 

excuse to be roaming around 

bored at lunchtime.”

THE JAMES Street Preschool 

and Nursery in Redcliffs held 

their yearly Matariki Lantern 

Walk recently. 

The children, including Marsaili 

(top left), Jessica, Cian and 

Hunter, used lanterns that they 

made at the pre-school and the 

nursery in the weeks leading up 

to the event. 

The walk finished with a hot 

chocolate in the car park. 

Many families took the opportunity 

to get together at preschool 

and catch up over a takeaway 

dinner before the walk.

A LOSS to seaside rivals 

New Brighton means it’s 

now do or die for Sumner 

if they are to make their 

first play-off appearance 

for the Hawkins Trophy. 

Saturday’s 19-40 loss 

means that Sumner are 

now sixth and three points 

off the fourth semi-final 

position with two rounds 

of the metro premier 

competition remaining. 

They play fourth-placed 

Sydenham on Saturday at 

Sydenham Park and will 

need a victory to have any 

chance of making the top 

four. Sumner will take 

confidence from their 

meeting earlier in the year 

which saw them record 

their first ever win over 

Sydenham in the premier 

grade 35-20. 

They will also have a 

chance to claim the DCL 

Shield for the first time 

since 2016 after Sydenham 

SCHOOLS 

defeated Christchurch 25-3 

to claim the shield at the 

weekend. 

After a nervous start to 

Saturday’s game against 

New Brighton, Sumner 

found themselves trailing 

0-10 following a penalty 

conversion and penalty 

try. However, when New 

Brighton No 8 Aaron 

McCoy was red-carded at 

half-time for an alleged 

head-butt, Sumner sensed 

an opportunity with the 

one-man advantage. 

They would struggle to 

take advantage of numbers 

though, with New 

Brighton continuing to get 

the better of them in the 

second 40 to widen their 

winning margin. 

“They just wanted it 

more,” said Sumner coach 

Martin Dodgson.

TAYLORS Mistake surf 

lifesaver Louis Clark 

has been selected in the 

New Zealand water polo 

team for the youth world 

championships in Hungary 

in August. 

The 16-year-old impressed 

selectors at a 

national selection camp in 

Auckland three weeks ago. 

“It was a new environment 

for me, those trials, 

and I was a little nervous to 

start with, but I felt better 

the longer it went and to 

be selected is such a huge 

honour,” he said. 

Clark said he followed 

his older brother into the 

sport at the start of high 

school and has loved it ever 

since. 

“I’ve always loved being 

physical in sports and 

water polo is like rugby in 

water,” he said. 

Clark also splits his 

time between competitive 

swimming and surf 

lifesaving at the Taylors 

Mistake club. 

Between his three sporting 

ambitions, he has 12 

regular trainings a week 

which doesn’t leave room 

for much else. 

He said being able to 

have the right balance 

between power and agility 

was crucial for water polo. 

While Europe tends to 

dominate the scene, Clark 

said he and the rest of the 

New Zealand team are 

eager to test themselves 

against the world’s best. 

“It will be good to see 

where we are at and test 

ourselves against the best

“They grew an arm and

Dodgson admitted to 

trying a few new things 

with his team selection 

for Saturday which didn’t 

pan out as hoped. He 

also heaped praise on 

the performance of New 

Brighton first-five Stefan 

Moir. 

“That was probably the 

best performance from 

a 10 I’ve seen all season,” 

said Dodgson. 

“He could have kicked 

with his head and they 

probably still would have 

gone over.” 

St Leonards Park was 

also packed as they 

celebrated ladies day which 

also doubled as the final 

game for Otago bound No 

8 Dylan Nel. 

“The majority of us 

bowled around to his flat 

after the game . . . it’s fair 

to say we definitely sent 

him out in style,” said

he represented the New

FROM THE PRINCIPAL 

A highlight this term has been the Academic Colours Assembly which 

celebrate the success of our senior students in NCEA. Colours acknowledge 

ability, hard work and an understanding of our school values – commitment, 

perseverance and courage. One of my favourite sayings is ‘Excellence is 

not a singular act, but a habit. You are what you repeatedly do’. All of us 

are capable of making hard work a habit, in order to achieve to the best of 

our ability. 

On siting matters, the Catholic Diocese of Christchurch is investigating 

sites which could be suitable for our new school and is actively considering 

a number of options. We are excited about the future of Marian and are

MERCY CUP SPIRIT 

Teams of Marian College students 

competed in the Mercy Cup 

Tournament in Timaru recently. The 

annual winter event is held between six 

Catholic schools in the region and each 

take turns hosting. The schools send 

their best football, hockey and netball 

teams to compete and enjoy the spirit 

of competition, collegiality and shared 

Catholic special character and values. 

WELLBEING TEAM 

As winter settles in, the Marian 

College Student Wellbeing Team has 

been bringing sunshine and light into 

the school. 

The team includes students across all 

year levels and is headed by senior 

leaders Megan White and Mia Blyth. 

“Every week two girls pair up – a 

senior and junior student who might 

not know each other – and come up 

with a project drawn from the Hauora 

model of wellbeing,” Megan explains. 

“The topics are physical wellbeing, 

mental and emotional, as well as social 

and spiritual wellbeing.” 

Projects include signing a pledge 

t-shirt against bullying, stress-relieving 

colouring in activities, crafts a ‘shout 

out board’ where compliments are 

shared and a performance by the ‘I am 

Unbreakable’ world hip hop champion 

dance crew (pictured). 

WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING 

We wanted a college that could meet the spiritual and cultural needs of our 

girls. We liked the sense of community, that expects and models caring for 

each other. 

Chris and Angela Rewha 

Marian offers a supportive and nurturing environment where our daughters 

are known and not lost in the crowd.

BIG SING 

Marian College’s talented senior choir Messa Di Voce performed in the Big Sing 

- the secondary schools choral festival - at The Piano recently. Messa Di Voce 

received an award for outstanding performance of a Māori song – Tīhore Mai. 

At Marian our daughters have not only thrived academically, they’ve 

received a well-rounded education with a strong understanding of 

community and service.

News 

Audiologist gets Rotary award 

YEARS OF dedicated effort on 

behalf of intellectually disabled 

athletes has been recognised 

with a special Rotary award for 

Mt Pleasant resident Jeanine 

Doherty. 

Ferrymead Rotary presented 

her with Rotary International’s 

highest award, the Paul Harris 

Fellowship for outstanding 

voluntary contribution to the 

community. 

Mrs Doherty, an audiologist, 

became involved with disabled 

athletes after suffering a major 

head injury herself. 

Ferrymead Rotary members 

felt her work embodied the key 

criteria of the Paul Harris award 

– “tangible and significant assistance 

given for the furtherance 

of better understanding and 

friendly relations among peoples 

of the world.” 

Andrew Oswin, who has 

won two gold medals in World 

Games for the Disabled competition, 

was at the Rotary presentation. 

He described Mrs Doherty 

as “a wonderful advocate 

for special Olympians,” with the 

ability to provide screening in “a 

fun and welcoming way”. 

Mrs Doherty is the health 

representative on the Special 

Olympics New Zealand board 

of trustees, and an international 

trustee of Olympics New Zealand 

and numerous other related 

organisations. 

Special Olympics New Zealand 

organises sports for people 

with a range of disabilities, 

among them intellectual, hearing, 

dental, obesity, sight, down 

syndrome and autism. 

The Special Olympics aims 

to help foster “joy, courage and 

empowerment” among competitors. 

Internationally, the movement 

involves nearly five million 

people in 172 countries, and 

more than a million volunteers. 

RECOGNITION: Jeanine 

Doherty (left) celebrates her 

award win with World Games 

for the Disabled medalist 

Andrew Oswin, as well as 

Sandra Knight, Ferrymead 

Rotary president Roger 

Chapman and Russell Irving, 

who also has a Paul Harris 

Fellowship. 

As well as competition and 

friendship, Special Olympics offers 

athletes a screening service. 

Mrs Doherty has been one 

of the health professionals who 

have provided their services free 

to screen athletes for hearing, 

sight, dental, infections, and 

deformities. Screening is offered 

at world, national and some 

regional events. 

She is also heavily involved 

with the Special Olympics 

New Zealand healthy athletes 

programme for healthy hearing, 

and has sought to extend this to 

the broader, disabled community. 

Through her Christchurch 

clinic, she organises screening 

for athletes from around the 

South Island. 

Final days for 

Freemans 

Dining Room 


A MUCH-LOVED Lyttelton 

restaurant will close its doors for 

good on Sunday. 

Freemans Dining Room has 

become an institution in the port 

town over the past 12 years. 

It continued to give diners a 

warm Freemans welcome and 

serve up authentic Italian pizza 

and pasta, even as Christchurch 

reeled after the earthquakes. 

Co-owner Sarah Freeman 

announced the move last week. 

“Thanks for an amazing journey 

Lyttelton,” she said in a Facebook 

post. “After 12 years Freemans 

in Lyttelton will be closing. New 

owners will take the reins in the 

coming month, rebranding a new 

food offering for Lyttelton. For us 

our time has come to an end as 

we continue our journey at The 

Birdwood.” 

Freemans opened in April 2006 

and Ms Freeman said they had 

loved operating in the port town. 

“Lyttelton is an amazing community 

full of wonderful people. 

They are warm, colourful and 

vibrant people. (The dining scene 

here) for us has got better and better.” 

Sunday will be the last day of 

operation. 

Since the early ‘80s, artist Ashley Smith has lived and worked 

from a crumbling, windswept headland on the North Canterbury 

coast. He bought the land after discovering, during the course of 

a six year global odyssey, that his juices liked being near the sea 

and were most stimulated by his home region’s crazy weather 

patterns. 

“The sudden shifts of life’s flow passing through and around us; 

culturally, meteorologically, personally, always have the power 

to surprise. 

You’re an island nation of pristine waters and clamorous birdcall 

when a sail broaches the horizon… 

You glance up from an endless summer to find a rampaging 

southerly bearing down on you. …A young family-man, raising a 

home on a rural headland, a moment’s distraction and suddenly 

you’re an old, bald bloke rummaging for the car keys and your 

friend’s name…” Ashley Smith 

Ashley Smith hopes these paintings, from a milestone period of 

his life will, like life’s gearshifts, have the power to surprise.”

BAY HARBOUR 


Thank you for 

helping your 

Fall Zones 

community 

To all of you who have had your 

trees trimmed before they became 

a problem, thank you for keeping all 

the families in your community warm, 

happy, healthy and connected. 

You can be proud of the fact that you have allowed your 

neighbours to stay warm, cook dinner and even charge 

their mobile phones. You may not have realised that what 

you’ve done has had much impact, but from all of us here 

at Orion, we just want to say thank you. 

Notice and Growth limit zones

Power line voltage A. Growth limit zone B. Notice zone 

66,000 volts 4.0m 5.0m

11,000 volts 1.6m 2.6m 

400/230 volts 0.5m 1.5m 

We’re not exaggerating. 

On our network, 10-20% of all unplanned power outages are 

caused by trees — including vegetation — coming into contact 

with power lines. Other than this, fire damage to property from 

branches sparking in dry conditions and serious injury from 

electrocution from contact with trees touching power lines are 

also possible consequences of not maintaining your trees. 

How close is too close? 

While most damage is caused by trees falling on power lines, 

significant risk exists from trees merely touching them. This risk 

increases the higher the voltage of the power line. 

The minimum distances that must be maintained between trees 

and power lines, as defined in the Electricity (Hazards from 

Trees) Regulations 2003, are outlined in the diagrams above. 

All vegetation should be kept out of the growth limit zone and 

preferably the notice zone. 

Sometimes it may not be practical to have a tree trimmed at the 

rate at which it grows and unfortunately, this means it may need 

to be removed. Other situations may require trees to be removed, 

most commonly when they are at a high risk of falling due to 

disease or adverse weather events. 

Where do I start? 

Before you begin, remember to keep yourself, and those around 

you, safe. We recognise that not everyone is experienced in tree 

trimming and are happy to advise you on what to do. We can arrange 

for trees near power lines to be trimmed at your expense, however 

we recommend you hire professionals to safely carry out the work. 

If you or someone working for you intends to work within four 

metres of power lines, a close approach consent is required from 

Orion before you start. As a tree owner, you may be liable for any 

damage caused by carrying out trimming or felling of trees. 

Will I be fined if I don’t comply? 

If a cut or trim notice is given to you and you fail to have the tree 

trimmed and/or advise us of the time and location of the trim 

without a reasonable excuse, this is an offence. This will make you 

liable for a fine not exceeding $10,000. If the offence continues, 

you will be liable for a further fine of not more than $500 for every 

day or part day during which the offence continues. 

More info can be found on our website and if 

you have any questions or notice any trees 

touching power lines in your area, please call 

us on 03 363 9898 or 0800 363 9898.
