Effectiveness of Sumner<br />
sea wall under investigation<br />
• By Louis Day<br />
THE effectiveness of the<br />
Sumner Esplanade rock<br />
retaining wall is being<br />
investigated.<br />
The 1.2km wall extends<br />
from Cave Rock to<br />
Scarborough Beach and<br />
protects Sumner from<br />
flooding.<br />
The assessment comes<br />
six years after a report<br />
from environmental and<br />
engineering consultants<br />
Tonkin & Taylor found the<br />
condition of the rock wall<br />
left Sumner vulnerable to<br />
flooding.<br />
Linwood-Central-<br />
Heathcote Community<br />
Board member Darrell<br />
Latham said an assessment<br />
of the wall was long<br />
overdue.<br />
“The overall effectiveness<br />
of the current sea wall is<br />
questionable. As a matter<br />
of priority, Sumner residents<br />
require a functional sea wall<br />
to mitigate climate change<br />
predictions and storm<br />
surges. Funding should be<br />
allocated in the Long Term<br />
Plan to undertake this work<br />
as soon as possible,” he<br />
said.<br />

from the editor’s desk<br />
WE HAVE a great spread of photos from<br />
the various Anzac Day services in the <strong>Bay</strong><br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> News area (see pages 4-5).<br />
As usual the services were well<br />
patronised by young and old alike.<br />
It must have been a tremendously proud feeling for those who<br />
have personal ties to the services, and for those who have had<br />
family fight in long gone conflicts and wars.<br />
Sumner Redcliffs RSA’s Bernie Godden also reflects on Anzac<br />
Day in the aftermath of the city’s terrorist attack.<br />
He says: “The decision to go ahead with the Anzac Day parade<br />
was unanimous, unequivocal. Those attending were not to be<br />
bowed by the horrific events of March 15.”<br />
And thanks to the RSAs which sent in photos for our spread.<br />

Boy racers burn up Naval Point<br />
• By Louis Day<br />
BURNOUTS IN the early hours<br />
of the morning are upsetting<br />
campers and nearby residents at<br />
Naval Point.<br />
Boy racers have been an ongoing<br />
issue at Naval Point since the<br />
barrier arm was removed by the<br />
city council since in November.<br />
A nearby resident<br />
who wished to<br />
remain anonymous<br />
said the situation<br />
had been getting<br />
progressively worse<br />
since then.<br />
Andrew<br />
Rutledge<br />
“You have 20<br />
freedom campers<br />
lined up in their<br />
vans and you get two or three<br />
cars that come in and intimidate<br />
everybody, I watched one guy<br />
who burnt up so much that he<br />
blew his tyres out and drive back<br />
to Lyttelton on his rims,” they<br />
said.<br />
Sergeant Franco Lovrich said<br />
boy racers found to be causing a<br />
disturbance would be fined $600.<br />
“It is a nuisance and there is<br />
enforcement action that will be<br />
taken if those responsible are<br />
found doing it,” he said.<br />
Several reviews complaining<br />
about the behaviour of boy racers<br />
at the site have been left on the<br />

City council head of parks<br />
Andrew Rutledge said the barrier<br />
arm was removed because constant<br />
damage was costing the city<br />
council $15,000 a year in repairs.<br />
Mr Rutledge said there was a<br />
development plan under way for<br />
the Naval Point area and that<br />

Anzac Day services went ahead as usual and were well attended across the <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News area.<br />

reflects on<br />
Anzac Day in<br />
the aftermath<br />
of the March 15 shootings<br />
THE DECISION to go ahead<br />
with the Sumner Anzac Day<br />
parade was unanimous,<br />
unequivocal.<br />
Those attending were not to be<br />
bowed by the horrific events of<br />
March 15.<br />
So many familiar faces turned<br />
up and a lot of new ones too.<br />
Representatives from all the<br />
services past and present took<br />
part in the parade along Wakefield<br />
Ave to the Sumner Redcliffs<br />
RSA memorial gates, where the<br />
service was held, the reassuringly<br />
familiar laying of wreaths, the<br />
sounding of the Last Post, the<br />
lowering of the flags, followed by<br />
a minute’s silence.<br />
Then the Ode to the Fallen, recited<br />
by the president Pat Boland.<br />
The Sumner Silver Band burst<br />
forth with the Reveille as the flags<br />
go back up.<br />
The Reverend Thomas Brauer<br />
then led the Lord’s Prayer, inviting<br />
people of all faiths, and those<br />
without, to plea for peace. It was a<br />
poignant recital.<br />
The guest speaker Colonel<br />
Craig Duane, is a man with considerable<br />
military experience. He<br />
highlighted the many conflicts in<br />
which New Zealand servicemen<br />
have taken part over the years<br />
and continue to this day. They<br />
defend our principles across the<br />
globe. They have our respect. Let<br />
us not forget that many need our<br />
continuing support.<br />
Following the Thanksgiving<br />
and Benediction, the crowd<br />
joined in the singing of the<br />
National Anthems of the United<br />
Kingdom, Australia and New<br />
Zealand, bringing the event to a<br />
fitting conclusion.<br />

Hollywood to Redcliffs for cinema owner<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
A FORMER writer for major<br />
Hollywood film studios who left<br />
the bright lights of Los Angeles<br />
for love is getting ready to open<br />
the new Arts Centre cinema.<br />
Redcliffs resident Max<br />
Hoffman co-owns the Lumiere<br />
Cinemas with cinephile Nick<br />
Paris. It is expected to show its<br />
first film soon – although it was<br />
planned to open by Easter.<br />
“It will open<br />
very soon, within<br />
the next couple<br />
of months, but<br />
we really want to<br />
get it right.”<br />
The pair have<br />
been hands-on<br />
Max<br />
Hoffman<br />
throughout the<br />
whole process,<br />
travelling to<br />
China to work<br />
with the manufacturer on every<br />
centimetre of the Lumiere’s fit<br />
out.<br />
“We went over and sat in<br />
the chairs. You can try and<br />
order things online, but we had<br />
everything custom done.”<br />
But before moving to<br />
Christchurch after the<br />
February 22, 2<strong>01</strong>1, earthquake,<br />
Mr Hoffman worked as a<br />
screenwriter for 20th Century<br />
Fox and Disney studios.<br />
He was not credited for the<br />
AT THE MOVIES: The new Lumiere Cinemas will open soon in the Arts Centre.<br />
work, which included re-writing<br />
scripts.<br />
“I was an in-house writer with<br />
the writers’ guild for 10 years . . .<br />
it’s hard work and if I’m honest,<br />
it was thankless,” Mr Hoffman<br />
said.<br />
He left the Hollywood industry<br />
five years before moving to<br />
Christchurch.<br />
“I’d done it, it was a hard job,<br />
and as a writer, I just didn’t<br />
have anything else to say,” Mr<br />
Hoffman said.<br />
“Then I met my husband, he<br />
was a Kiwi travelling in LA.”<br />
Mr Hoffman left his<br />
home in LA to live with his<br />
husband Sebastian Stapleton<br />
in Christchurch after the<br />
earthquake.<br />
“I said I’m going to move there<br />
and help you. I’d never been here<br />
before, I didn’t know where it<br />
was, which is embarrassing to say<br />
now.”<br />
Mr Hoffman then fell in love<br />
again.<br />
“It truly is the best city in the<br />
world. There’s no better city than<br />
Christchurch.”<br />
He met Mr Paris on a visit to<br />
Christchurch’s iconic Alice in<br />
Videoland, which is where the<br />
idea for Lumiere Cinema was<br />
hatched.<br />
Mr Paris has worked in local<br />
cinema for the last 40 years -<br />
from being a cinema projectionist<br />
to helping ensure the Isaac<br />
Theatre Royal was equipped for<br />
screen movies.<br />
“I got to meet Nick, who has<br />
this incredible passion for film<br />
and my husband, and I knew we<br />
had to get behind him,” he said.<br />
“Christchurch is very fortunate<br />
to have Nick running and<br />
programming the Lumiere as<br />
his depth of knowledge in film is<br />
most impressive and people who<br />
love movies will be able to benefit<br />
from that when they talk with<br />
him.”<br />
When it opens, the cinema will<br />
feature two theatres and a bar<br />
overlooking the Botanic Gardens.<br />
Mr Hoffman said it would also<br />
host outreach programmes for<br />
prospective film makers.<br />
“They used to do that at the<br />
Arts Centre, so we want to bring<br />
it back,” he said.<br />
‘Flying boats’ part of Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong>’s past<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News<br />
reported last week on<br />
a plan to bring<br />
seaplanes to Lyttelton<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> – but it would<br />
not be the first time<br />
they have taken off<br />
in the area. Louis Day<br />
looks at previous visits<br />
PENINSULA AIR Ltd is working<br />
to bring seaplanes to the harbour.<br />
If the Rangiora-based company<br />
is successful, it would not be the<br />
first time seaplanes have operated<br />
in the area.<br />
On January 3, 1938, a flying<br />
boat from<br />
Wellington<br />
was welcomed<br />
by thousands<br />
of spectators<br />
at Lyttelton<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />
It took just over<br />
Maryanne<br />
Jackson<br />
90min for the<br />
plane to complete<br />
its journey from<br />
Wellington.<br />
The Imperial Airways flyingboat<br />
Centaurus was the largest<br />
aeroplane to enter the South<br />
Island at the time.<br />
It came from the south-west,<br />
flying swiftly over Gebbies Pass<br />
and landing near Erskine Point<br />
less than 2min after it was first<br />
spotted by the crowd standing on<br />
the port wharves.<br />
The flying boat had successfully<br />
completed what was the longest<br />
flight in the history of British<br />
commercial aviation three days<br />
before arriving in Lyttelton,<br />
making the journey from<br />
England to Wellington.<br />
Former Lyttelton resident<br />
Maryanne Jackson remembers<br />
several seaplanes coming into the<br />
harbour during the 1950s.<br />
“I would have been in primary<br />
school at the time. I remember<br />
them coming and landing, it<br />
happened a few times.”<br />
“It was quite exciting for us, we<br />
were quite young and we had not<br />
seen a plane land in the sea,” she<br />
said.<br />

gathered at<br />
Lyttelton Wharf<br />
to watch the<br />
Centaurus land in<br />
the South Island<br />
for the first time.

A DECISION on the<br />
funding of Sumner’s crime<br />
cameras will not be made<br />

A key figure behind the<br />

requested the cameras be<br />
aligned with their system.<br />
This led to Safer Sumner<br />
approaching the Linwood-<br />
Central-Heathcote<br />
Community Board in<br />
December.<br />
Hills to identify properties<br />
affected by – or potentially<br />
at risk from – rockfall, cliff<br />
collapse or movement.<br />
However, the current<br />
outdated slope instability<br />
overlays are imposing unnecessary<br />
restrictions on<br />
Port Hills homeowners.<br />
Deputy <strong>May</strong>or Andrew<br />
Turner said the updated<br />
overlays would reduce<br />
restrictions on affected<br />
homeowners.<br />
“It would give the property<br />
owner more flexibility<br />
and it, therefore, means<br />
when the property is sold<br />
it gives the future owner<br />
more flexibility, which may<br />
The community board<br />
requested further technical<br />
information on the<br />
cameras following their<br />
presentation.<br />
Safer Sumner made<br />
a formal application to<br />
the Strengthening Communities<br />
Fund once the<br />
community board received<br />
the technical information<br />
which will be decided on in<br />
August.<br />
“We have had a measure<br />
to reduce crime, I have<br />
purchased the cameras,<br />
they are sitting in my office<br />
well be reflected in property<br />
values,” he said.<br />
The city council’s regulatory<br />
performance committee<br />
said without an amendment<br />
to the slope instability<br />
overlays, affected property<br />
owners would continue to<br />
have unnecessary restrictions,<br />
costs and uncertainty<br />
imposed on them.<br />
“This may result<br />
in property owners<br />
being unable to carry<br />
out activities on their<br />
properties, may hinder<br />
property sales and may<br />
be affecting property<br />
values,’’ a report from the<br />
committee said.<br />
Decision on crime cameras<br />
will be made in August<br />
Matt Wood<br />
when they could have deterred<br />
a serious amount of<br />
crime and we just continue<br />
to face red tape,” Mr Wood<br />
said.<br />
Mr Wood said Sumner<br />
desperately needed some<br />
form of crime prevention.<br />
“Criminals look for<br />
weakness and wealth.<br />
Sumner portrays wealth<br />
and the absence of cameras<br />
and a permanent police<br />
presence in Sumner is<br />
creating weakness and<br />
therefore opening ourselves<br />
up to crime.”<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
HISTORY: The footpath along the rock wall following a storm in July 1978.<br />
Sea wall investigation<br />
•From page 1<br />
Emails obtained by <strong>Bay</strong><br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> News show the purpose<br />
of the assessment was to report<br />
on the present condition of the<br />
rock wall and identify the best<br />
way to restore its effectiveness.<br />
The report from Tonkin &<br />
Taylor stated the rock wall was<br />
likely to be overtopped during a<br />
one per cent annual exceedance<br />
probability event, resulting<br />
in seawater flowing over the<br />
Esplanade and potentially<br />
flooding the first row of houses<br />
in the area.<br />
AEP is the probability of a<br />
certain size of flood occurring<br />
in a single year.<br />
A one per cent AEP flood flow<br />
has a one per cent chance of<br />
occurring in any one year and a<br />
10 per cent chance of occurring<br />
in any 10-year period.<br />
Dr Latham said the<br />
community board was not<br />
informed about the assessment<br />
before it was undertaken.<br />
“I had to hear about the<br />
project details through<br />
unofficial sources and I’m<br />
angry that the city council did<br />
not take the time to update the<br />
community board or the<br />
Sumner community about<br />
the scope and significance of<br />
the assessment before it was<br />
undertaken.”<br />
Dr Latham said he would be<br />
requesting that the findings of<br />
the assessment be made public<br />
once completed.<br />
BOOST: John McLister with a group of seafarers from the<br />
Philippines outside the Lyttelton Seafarers’ Centre.<br />
Seafarers’ centre may<br />
get more funding<br />
• By Louis Day<br />
THE LYTTELTON Seafarers’<br />
Centre could receive a boost.<br />
<strong>May</strong>or Lianne Dalziel has met<br />
with Lyttelton Port Company<br />
chairwoman Margaret Delvin to<br />
discuss ongoing funding options<br />
for the centre.<br />
The city council has also<br />
requested Christchurch City<br />
Holdings Ltd engage with LPC to<br />
support the centre.<br />
Further discussions with the<br />
Banks Peninsula Community<br />
Board will happen before a<br />
final decision is made on future<br />
funding.<br />
LPC currently gives $5000<br />
to the centre every year, while<br />
Christchurch City Holdings Ltd<br />
does not provide the centre with<br />
funding.<br />
The centre has had more than<br />
10,000 visits from seafarers since<br />
it opened three years ago.<br />
Lyttelton Seafarers’ Centre<br />
Charitable Trust chairman<br />
John McLister said more funding<br />
will allow the centre to offer a<br />
more complete service. “With<br />
the current limited funding<br />
we have, we can only be open<br />
certain nights of the week. More<br />
funding would mean we could do<br />
longer hours and provide a better<br />
service,” Rev McLister said.<br />

Rotary sells daffodils and prints<br />
Lyttelton Rotary Club<br />
member Barry Toomey<br />
provides readers with an<br />
update of what has been<br />
happening at the club<br />
LYTTELTON Rotary has been<br />
blooming daffodil bulbs as our<br />
first fundraising project of the<br />
year.<br />
Thank you to all of you who<br />
have purchased our quality<br />
bulbs – we are aiming to make<br />
this an annual fundraiser as it<br />
has been a sell-out this year.<br />
We will be blooming again<br />
next year so come to us for your<br />
supplies in March or April.<br />
Lyttelton Rotary’s 2<strong>01</strong>9<br />
Rotary Youth Leadership Award<br />
candidate was Candice Milner,<br />
an enterprising young Lyttelton<br />
woman who is really going<br />
places.<br />
Candice reported at our<br />
last meeting that she had a<br />
great time at the RYLAs and<br />
was inspired by the speakers,<br />
activities and super group of<br />
participants she meet there.<br />
The club currently also has a<br />
limited amount of numbered<br />
prints of Lyttelton 1987 for sale.<br />
This was a commissioned<br />
painting by Roger Haynes<br />

AS I DELIVER my valedictory<br />
speech in Parliament today<br />
and sign-off from my role as an<br />
MP, it is with a sense of pride<br />
that I write my last article as<br />
a Parliamentarian who has<br />
worked for our Port Hills<br />

As autumn descends, the days<br />
shorten, and the temperature<br />
HISTORY: Long-serving Lyttelton Rotary Club members Ray<br />
Adams and Dick Brown with a limited Lyttelton 1987 print.<br />
brought up to date for 1987.<br />
The Lyttelton Rotary Club is<br />
privileged to have Ray Adams, a<br />
true Lytteltonian, as one of our<br />
members.<br />
Ray’s local knowledge is<br />
amazing, and he spent time<br />
researching the changes which<br />
occurred over the century since<br />
the Gibbs painting was done.<br />
lowers I feel the same sense of<br />
‘change’ for my own political<br />
career. But while this is the<br />
autumn of my political career,<br />
it is in fact the spring of my new<br />
life.<br />
I could in this article<br />
talk about all the amazing<br />
experiences I have had.<br />
I could write about my<br />
accomplishments.<br />
But this article is about you –<br />
my Port Hills community. What<br />
an honour to have worked for<br />
you and with you, and to have<br />
had your support.<br />
We have been through so<br />
much together. From the<br />
hardships of the earthquakes,<br />
Each print sold has a copy of<br />
this attached for your own<br />
reference. The port landscape<br />
has changed again, though, with<br />
the earthquakes and the changes<br />
which have followed from this in<br />
the area. At $50 per print, this is<br />
a great deal when you consider<br />
the relevance this artwork has to<br />
Lyttelton.<br />
To purchase one of these<br />
numbered, limited edition prints<br />

me a call on 027 479 9678.<br />
the tragedy of the Port Hills<br />
fire, through to the horrors of<br />
the attack on our Christchurch<br />
Muslim community – we have<br />
walked the path together.<br />
We in the Port Hills are<br />
defined by the multitude of<br />
individuals that make up our<br />
wonderful electorate.<br />
And that is no better<br />
illustrated than by our local<br />
community organisations<br />
and businesses, driven by<br />
hardworking people.<br />
As an early morning person,<br />
I have met many of those<br />
hardworking people, from the<br />
tradies, health workers, business<br />
owners, council workers and<br />
New activities, events<br />
to lift visitor numbers<br />
at Lyttelton rec centre<br />
THE LYTTELTON Recreation<br />
Centre is offering a fresh<br />
programme of events, classes<br />
and activities.<br />
It comes after the city council<br />
partnered with Project Lyttelton<br />
to revitalise the centre.<br />
City council head of<br />
community support,<br />
governance and partnerships<br />
John Filsell said he felt<br />
the centre could be put<br />
to better use if it was<br />
actively managed by a<br />
community group.<br />
“Since reopening in<br />
2<strong>01</strong>6, it was clear the<br />
centre wasn’t achieving<br />
the numbers it had<br />
enjoyed pre-quake,” he<br />
said.<br />
“We reached out to<br />
Project Lyttelton to see<br />
if they’d be interested to form<br />
a partnership to activate and<br />
manage the centre.”<br />
Project Lyttelton chairwoman<br />
Margaret Jefferies said the<br />
partnership would help bring<br />
the community together.<br />
“The Lyttelton Recreation<br />
Centre is the largest facility<br />
available for community use<br />
Korako bids farewell to life as a Port Hills list MP<br />
many more at the Hoon Hay<br />
BP Station, when I too wait in<br />
line for my morning caffeine fix,<br />
being served by the night shift<br />
of Nepalese, Pakistani, Indian,<br />
Sri Lankan, Filipino, Maori, and<br />
pakeha.<br />
We are all just New Zealanders<br />
getting on with making<br />
Christchurch and the Port Hills<br />
a great place to live.<br />
What unites us is that we<br />
sit as one family in the Port<br />
Hills, irrespective of where our<br />
heritage might once have come<br />
from. That is who we are.<br />
That is the Port Hills I chose to<br />
work for.<br />
I may be retiring from<br />
in Lyttelton. In years past, it<br />
had high use for recreational<br />
sport, community groups and<br />
occasional hire. Many a child’s<br />
birthday party was held at the<br />
rec centre.”<br />
“We’re delighted to partner<br />
with the city council and<br />
the Lyttelton community to<br />
transform our much-loved<br />
recreation centre into a<br />
thriving, self-sustaining<br />
hub.”<br />
Project Lyttelton has<br />
been funded through the<br />
city council’s resilience<br />
partnerships fund to<br />
manage the reactivation<br />
of the centre.<br />
The reactivation<br />
John Filsell<br />
project was started last<br />
year with a programme<br />
of new, regular activities,<br />
and has already seen a 53 per<br />
cent uptake in users from last<br />
year.<br />
The recreation centre project<br />
is the first partnership of its<br />
kind as city council explores<br />
ways to give communities a<br />
bigger role in the long-term<br />
management of their local<br />
facilities.<br />
Parliament, but there is much<br />
more that I want to do, especially<br />
for our Maori people, and I plan<br />
to spend more time with my<br />
whanau.<br />
I was privileged to be a<br />
Parliamentarian and will hold<br />
the experience as a milestone in<br />
my life. Thank you to those who<br />
supported me and to those who<br />
did not but gave me the reason<br />
why that was so. I always enjoyed<br />
listening to all sides.<br />

young men wish you, your<br />
friends and whanau the very<br />

Balancing sugar intake<br />
I HOPE you’ve all had an<br />
awesome Easter break and<br />
ate more chocolate than I<br />
did.<br />
Not that I didn’t have<br />
heaps, I’m just generous<br />
with my hopes.<br />
<strong>May</strong>be it’s because she’s<br />
our first child but Laura<br />
and I are pretty strict on<br />
how much sugar we let<br />
Vittoria have. If we’re<br />
having something sweet to<br />
eat in front of her, she’ll get<br />
a wee bit to taste, but we<br />
don’t normally give her one<br />
of her own.<br />
Secretly, I think we<br />
limit it so that she might<br />
continue being a healthier<br />
eater than us for her<br />
lifetime.<br />
Long story short, Vittoria<br />
did not get an Easter egg.<br />
However, she did eat<br />
a lot of good food at<br />
multiple family meals and<br />
even scoffed a few pieces<br />
of Laura’s mum’s famous<br />
italian prune cake (once<br />
erroneously translated<br />
as “mum’s sweet affair of<br />
prunes” by Facebook).<br />
Her other little Easter<br />
treat was getting to take<br />
one of mum’s new dogs<br />
for a walk to work off the<br />
meals. She was super cute<br />
leading the wee pooch<br />
about with the lead.<br />
Didn’t last a whole walk,<br />

she eventually just got over<br />
it and dropped the lead.<br />
Recently, we’ve begun<br />
noticing a new behaviour<br />
in Vittoria; jealousy –<br />
especially of Laura.<br />
If I’m holding Vittoria<br />
and Laura comes up for a<br />
hug too, Vittoria pushes her<br />
hand into her face to shove<br />
her away.<br />
Last week, Laura and I<br />
were sitting and chatting,<br />
Laura leaning into me. All<br />
of a sudden, Vittoria gets<br />
all whingy, runs over,<br />
jumps onto me and starts<br />
VITTORIA<br />
& Matt<br />
WALKIES:<br />
Petal<br />
on the<br />
lead with<br />
Vittoria.<br />
shoving Laura away all over<br />
again.<br />
It’s pretty cute and funny<br />
for me, but I can only<br />
imagine that it must hurt<br />
Laura a little.<br />
Hopefully, Vittoria start<br />
realising that her mum isn’t<br />
stealing her daddy away<br />
from her. Or at least stop<br />
shoving her in the face.<br />

Big first-up test for Lincoln Combined<br />
• By Jacob Page<br />
Tom<br />
Hooper<br />
LINCOLN COMBINED will<br />
start their UC Championship<br />
rugby campaign with a tricky<br />
home assignment on Saturday.<br />
Under new coach Tom Hooper,<br />
they will take on last year’s semifinalists<br />
Rangiora High School.<br />
Lincoln Combined had their<br />
most successful season in the<br />
competition last year, finishing<br />
seventh but challenging for a<br />
top-four spot over<br />
the majority of the<br />
season. They were<br />
also undefeated<br />
at their Lincoln<br />
High School-base<br />
during the roundrobin.<br />
Lincoln<br />
Combined beat<br />
Waitaki Boys’<br />
High School 17-7 on Saturday in<br />
their final preseason game.<br />
Hooper, who takes over from<br />
Mike Wilson, said he is happy<br />
with the squad’s preseason<br />
work, which has seen them train<br />
together for the past eight weeks<br />
and get a 37-0 win over Mid-<br />
Canterbury Combined.<br />
The squad has 15 players<br />
returning from last season,<br />
including captain and playmaker<br />
Wil Gualter.<br />
Hooper said with the cyclical<br />
nature of secondary school rugby<br />
teams, he is keen to focus on<br />
what his team does well to get off<br />
to a strong start this season.<br />
TEAM: Lincoln Combined are looking to improve on last year’s UC Championship rugby<br />
campaign in which they finished seventh.<br />
“Overall, I’m really pleased<br />
with how the preseason has<br />
gone,” he said.<br />
“The squad is fit and any<br />
preseason niggles we had are<br />
clearing up and we have a good<br />
base of players in our squad to<br />
start the season,” he said.<br />
He said it will be important<br />
for his team to make the most of<br />
their home games this season.<br />
Hooper said if any teams<br />
underestimate them, particularly<br />
in the forwards where they have<br />
been traditionally under-size, he<br />
will welcome the challenge.<br />
“We’ll be going into every<br />
game respecting the teams we’re<br />
playing and expecting to come<br />
up against some really good<br />
sides. We wanted to have a squad<br />
that we felt could go the full<br />
70min and we are confident we<br />
have that.”<br />
Hooper said he hopes the<br />
boys who have returned from<br />
last season have learnt from<br />
their experiences playing<br />
against traditional competition<br />
heavyweights, like Christchurch<br />
Boys’ High School and Christ’s<br />
College, to improve their play in<br />
crucial moments.<br />
The team will face several<br />
road trips this season with two<br />
to Timaru to take on Roncalli<br />
Combined on <strong>May</strong> 18 and<br />
Timaru Boys’ High School on<br />
July 6.<br />
They’ll also head to Ashburton<br />
to play Mid-Canterbury<br />
Combined on June 1, and play<br />
their penultimate round-robin<br />
fixture in Nelson against Waimea<br />
Combined on July 27.<br />
Saturday’s game against<br />
Rangiora High School at Lincoln<br />
High School kicks-off at 2.30pm.<br />

Aaron's Surf Report<br />
A PROLONGED flat spell<br />
through the school holidays<br />
was broken just in time for the<br />
Exit Surf Canterbury men’s surf<br />
championships over the weekend.<br />
THe contest started in 60cm<br />
waves at New Brighton and was<br />
moved to Taylors Mistake for the<br />
finals day. This was the first time<br />
the event had been at Taylors for<br />
many years and it was great to<br />
see New Zealand’s top surfers<br />
ripping it up on our beach.<br />
After a messy and windy start<br />
to the day, conditions turned<br />
it on for the finals with winds<br />
swinging offshore and a low tide<br />
creating punchy, peeling left and<br />
right-handers across the bay.<br />
Gisborne’s Maz Quinn put<br />
on a clinical display of high<br />
performance surfing to win<br />
the open men’s. Local surfers<br />
performed well, too, with Rodney<br />
Somogyvari (Sumner) winning<br />
the over-30s, Mike Oakely (New<br />
Brighton) winning the over-45s,<br />
and young Jack Tyro (Sumner)<br />
winning the under-14s. Hugh<br />
Ritchie (New Brighton) won the<br />
longboard division with a great<br />
mix of traditional and modern<br />
longboard surfing. With this<br />

newly-formed Southern Wahine<br />
Boardriders club. More than 64<br />
entrants came from all across the<br />
South Island to compete in more<br />
than 10 divisions.<br />
Alethea Lock (Sumner) made<br />
her comeback to competition,<br />

surf championships were held<br />
in Dunedin over Easter, which<br />
attracted a strong field from all<br />
over New Zealand.<br />
Sumner surfers performed<br />
well, with Estella Hungerford<br />
winning the open women’s,<br />
and Donna Henderson the<br />
women’s longboarding. Hugh<br />
Ritchie (New Brighton) won<br />
the longboarding and managed<br />
to knock himself out of the<br />

head-butting the sand on the<br />
shallow inside section. Luckily<br />

Looking ahead, the Joyce and<br />
Co Winter Freeze will be held<br />
at Waikuku Beach on <strong>May</strong> 11<br />

scholastic surf championships on<br />
<strong>May</strong> 19. The South Island surfing<br />
circuit concludes with the grand<br />
finale in Kaikoura over Queen’s<br />
Birthday weekend.<br />
Wave wise <strong>May</strong> can be one of<br />
our best months for surf. The<br />
water temperature is still hanging<br />
in there with a reasonable 15 deg<br />
C. This should drop gradually<br />
through <strong>May</strong>. A large high<br />
pressure system is dominating<br />
the weather this week and we<br />
should enjoy some nice little<br />
north swells from the current<br />
weather pattern before the winter<br />
southerlies really kick in.<br />
Sea People, The Puzzle of Polynesia<br />
by Christina Thompson<br />
For more than a millennium, Polynesians occupied the remotest islands in the<br />
Pacific Ocean, an enormous triangle stretching from Hawaii to New Zealand to<br />
Easter Island. Polynesians today can trace their roots back to a group of epic<br />
voyagers who first explored this vast expanse Sailing in large, double-hulled<br />
canoes, they were the first and, until the era of European discovery, the<br />
only people ever to have reached this part of the globe. Today, they<br />
are widely acknowledged as the world’s greatest navigators.<br />
But how did these ancient mariners find all these islands?<br />
How did they reach them? Diving deep into the history of the<br />
Pacific, Christina Thompson uncovers who these voyagers<br />
were, where they came from, and how they managed to<br />
colonise every habitable island in Remote Oceania. A thrilling<br />
intellectual detective story, Sea People combines the thrill of<br />
exploration, the wonder of pursuit, and the drama of a gripping<br />
historical puzzle.<br />

Big blow to<br />
Sumner’s<br />
metro rugby<br />
top six hopes<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
A PLACE IN the top six appears<br />
to be out of reach for Sumner<br />
after they fell to their fifth<br />
straight defeat in the premier<br />
metro rugby competition.<br />
Sumner once again conceded<br />
a flurry of late tries at the<br />
weekend to go down 15-37 to<br />
Belfast at Sheldon Park. They<br />
now head into Saturday’s match<br />
against competition frontrunners<br />
Lincoln University<br />
without a win.<br />
Sumner trailed by just one<br />
point at half-time against Belfast<br />
after tries to Alistair Crossdale<br />
and Eiji Kaneda. However, they<br />
were only able to amass an<br />
early penalty in the second half<br />
before Belfast retook the lead<br />
and never relinquished it.<br />
Sumner coach Martin<br />
Dodgson said they will now<br />
readdress their goals for the<br />
season with a top six place all<br />
but out of reach.<br />
However, Sumner’s division<br />
two side won their first match<br />
in almost two years when they<br />
claimed the ‘golden jandal’ from<br />
Suburbs in a 40-14 win at Hoon<br />
Hay Park.<br />

Nothing prickly about Citroen’s Cactus<br />
Motoring<br />
Ross Kiddie<br />
WHEN CITROEN’S Cactus<br />
first made its way onto the<br />
global market it raised eyebrows<br />
everywhere with its styling.<br />
The cheeky five-door hatchback<br />
was unorthodox, to say the least,<br />
with its heavy frontal styling and<br />
controversial bubble wrap-type<br />
Airbumps on the doors which<br />
protected the bodywork from<br />
damage. Nevertheless, buyers<br />
warmed to the Cactus, and it has<br />
been pretty much a success in all<br />
of the markets it’s been sold in.<br />
In New Zealand Citroen isn’t<br />
a big player, but if you study the<br />
product line-up you’ll find practical,<br />
affordable vehicles which are<br />
thoroughly appealing through<br />
design flair. I guess, you’d expect<br />
nothing less from this French car<br />
maker which has had a reputation<br />
for bold styling cues as they are a<br />
considerable part of the appeal.<br />
A new Cactus has just been<br />
released, and while it incorporates<br />
the styling elements of its predecessor,<br />
it is a little more orthodox<br />
and gone are the Airbumps which<br />
were a major talking point on the<br />
original.<br />
That’s a bit of a disappointment<br />
to me, I liked the concept,<br />
and anything practical on a car<br />
that keeps it looking fresh and<br />
dent-free certainly finds favour<br />
with me.<br />
Gone, too, is the predecessor’s<br />
diesel engine, the Cactus arrives<br />
here in just one specification and<br />
it gets a 1.2-litre turbocharged<br />
three-cylinder engine which is also<br />
used in Citroen’s C3 and Peugeot’s<br />
2008. I’ve experienced this engine<br />
before in both those cars and can<br />
safely say it is one of my favourite<br />
engines of this design, it is quiet,<br />
smooth, and doesn’t overly let<br />
the occupants know of its design<br />
through the harmonics often associated<br />
with its three-pot layout.<br />
The twin-camshaft petrol<br />
engine is listed with a 81kW<br />
and 205Nm rating, these are<br />
healthy outputs, and if you take<br />
into account the light weight of<br />
the Cactus at just 1090kg, it is<br />
a lively model under acceleration.<br />
Citroen claim a standstill to<br />
100km/h time of 10.9sec which<br />
is all the acceleration you need in<br />
today’s motoring environment.<br />
Drive is channelled through a<br />
conventional six-speed automatic<br />
transmission, together there is<br />
reasonable harmony and gearing<br />
CITROEN CACTUS: Economical three-cylinder engine.<br />
which manufactures that lively<br />
performance along with healthy<br />
fuel economy.<br />
The latter is listed by Citroen<br />
at 5.3-litres usage per 100km<br />
(53mpg) on a combined cycle<br />
average. The evaluation car’s dash<br />
display was constantly sitting<br />
around 6.7l/100km (42mpg).<br />
If you also take into consideration<br />
the Cactus’ weight, then it<br />
has benefits in all areas, the engine<br />
isn’t working hard to maintain<br />
momentum, hence the light fuel<br />
load, and there is a feel through<br />
the chassis and suspension that<br />
promotes a sporty sensation.<br />
The suspension deserves a worthy<br />
mention. Anyone familiar with<br />
Citroen product will relate to the<br />
hydropneumatic and air suspensions<br />
systems of eras gone by.<br />
The Cactus doesn’t get anything<br />
quite to sophisticated; however, it<br />
• Price – Citroen C4 Cactus,<br />
$35,990<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
4170mm; width, 1710mm;<br />
height, 1480mm<br />
• Configuration – Threecylinder,<br />
front-wheeldrive,<br />
1199cc, 81kW,<br />
205Nm, six-speed<br />
automatic.<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 10.9sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 5.3l/100km<br />
does get what Citroen describe as<br />
magic carpet ride engineering.<br />
Put simply, what appear to be<br />
conventional shock absorbers<br />
actually incorporate two hydraulic<br />
stops, one for compression and<br />
one for decompression, they dissipate<br />
energy from road bumps,<br />
helping to create a smooth ride.<br />
In effect, the ride is well cushioned,<br />
I had an errand to run<br />
over the far east side of the city,<br />
and broken roads on that journey<br />
were a good test for the suspension,<br />
the Cactus has a controlled,<br />
comfortable ride. It can also<br />
attack corners, there is strong<br />
steering feel, turn-in is also direct<br />
and precise.<br />
In my introduction I mentioned<br />
the Cactus’ styling. It isn’t<br />
radical as it could be, but it is a<br />
departure from the norm. The<br />
interior is modernistic and minimalist<br />
in its detailing, however,<br />
it all works cosmetically. You can<br />
also mix and match with interior<br />
trim colours and materials.<br />
I particularly like the permanently<br />
exposed panoramic roof<br />
which is out-of-the-ordinary but<br />
also adds to the character of the<br />
car, it was a $1500 option, but it<br />
represents the ideology of Cactus.<br />
In terms of specification, the<br />
Cactus is also well appointed. You<br />
get all of the kit you’d expect on a<br />
$35k car with many of the functions<br />
operated by voice recognition<br />
technology. I guess one omission<br />
is the lack of tachometer.<br />
That aside, the Cactus<br />
incorporates all things practical<br />
in a modern, stylish package. It’s<br />
a compact five-seater, but also a<br />
funky purchase for anyone who<br />
dares to be different. The last<br />
model sold well in New Zealand,<br />
and I’m expecting the newcomer<br />
to be just as popular.<br />

I chose ‘The Anatomy of Melancholy’<br />
as the title for the trilogy because I<br />
feel that it best represents my work<br />
and the person I am.<br />
*Melancholy: a feeling of pensive<br />
sadness, typically with no obvious<br />
cause.<br />
Part I: Identity 2<strong>01</strong>8<br />
Part II: Dissectum 2<strong>01</strong>9<br />
Part III: Lost & Found 2020<br />
Dissectum means ‘deeply cut’ and<br />
in its original meaning refers to the<br />
deep cuts in foliage. For me the<br />
deep cuts are not just the ones we<br />
need to make to understand the<br />
workings of an organism but also<br />
the potential deep cuts we need to<br />
consider when we have to make<br />
big decisions (as in: ‘Murderous<br />
Intent’). To be deeply cut can also<br />
be the result of our experiences in<br />
life. And with deep cuts comes the<br />
need to heal, to find ways to put<br />
what is left back together again or to<br />
form a ‘new’.<br />
The exhibition is in two parts –<br />
the front of the gallery is ‘The<br />
Wunderkammer*’ where various<br />
objects, boxes and other curios are<br />
shown.<br />
*Wunderkammer: A cabinet of<br />
scientific curiosities, especially<br />
during the Renaissance<br />
In the back of the gallery I am<br />
exhibiting a series of, mainly<br />
charcoal drawings, all working with<br />
or referring to ‘Dissectum’, plus<br />
4 small bird paintings embellished<br />
with embroidery.<br />
Simon van der Sluijs is an artist<br />
of Dutch descent and traditional<br />

His themes are deeply personal,<br />
unconventional, dark, humorous and<br />
disturbing.<br />

This 1980’s Governor’s <strong>Bay</strong> charmer, set on<br />
a 1000m2 section occupies a prime position<br />
right in the heart of the bay with stunning<br />
harbour and hill views. This is a serious<br />
opportunity for the astute buyer to snap up<br />
something wonderful. Opportunities like<br />

history and ample options to add value<br />
whenever suits whilst still being completely<br />
practical for everyday living now.<br />
Last on the market in 1948, this was home<br />
to one of our much loved local identities.<br />
This comfortable family home offers 3<br />
bedrooms, wood-burner and heat-pump,<br />
large open-plan living to wrap-around<br />
verandah, a quirky retro bathroom and a<br />

fit. Plus there is easy, sealed access to a<br />
detached double garage, carport and ample<br />
outbuildings including a woodshed. Title for<br />
the property still to issue.<br />

Time for Pre-winter<br />
Plumbing & Gas Check<br />
With winter coming, the<br />
professionals at Laser Plumbing<br />
Christchurch East in Ferrymead<br />
suggest that now is a good time to<br />
prepare by ensuring that your gas<br />
appliances are safe and in good<br />
working order.<br />
Leaks can happen over time causing<br />
a reduction in efficiency of the<br />
appliance, more gas to be used and,<br />
most importantly, create a danger to<br />
those living in the home.<br />
For your safety they recommend<br />
annual servicing and a safety<br />
inspection of:<br />
• Gas fires<br />
• Gas water heaters<br />
• Gas hobs<br />
• Outdoor fires and BBQ’s<br />
This can be done quickly and<br />
efficiently by Laser Plumbing’s<br />
qualified technicians.<br />
The business is owned and<br />
operated by Sumner locals Chris<br />
Dick and his wife Carol McCann.<br />
Chris has 40 years’ experience in<br />
the industry, and as he says, a small<br />
amount of time spent now can help<br />
to avoid nasty surprises later on.<br />
“The last thing you want are issues<br />
mid-winter when you need hot<br />
water and heating the most.”<br />
In fact, if you have any plumbingrelated<br />
concerns around your home,<br />
give Chris a call. He will be happy<br />
to offer advice and sort out the<br />
problem, which may very well be a<br />
simple job.<br />
WINTER ChECkLIST<br />
1. Gas appliance check.<br />
2. Drains – if you have an older<br />
home with ceramic pipes<br />
and you haven’t had a free<br />
drainage check yet, make sure<br />
you call and book this in. EQC<br />
are still covering the cost of<br />
earthquake-damaged drainage<br />
repairs and Laser Plumbing<br />
are experts at helping clients<br />
deal with the EQC process and<br />
making it all seem very easy.<br />
3. Gutters and downpipes –<br />
autumn leaves can get caught<br />
in guttering and downpipes,<br />
which can cause water leakage<br />
into your home. To prevent<br />
this from happening, they<br />
recommend clearing these<br />
out at least once a year. If you<br />
need help to do this, give<br />
them a call.<br />
CLIENT fEEDBACk:<br />
