SURFING CLASSIC: Open men’s finalist Dylan Barnfield was among the many who converged on Midway’s Pipe break on Saturday for the 26th Makorori First Light Longboarding Surf Classic. The event — the oldest longboarding contest in the country — attracted its largest-ever field, including an excellent response from female surfers. It was changed from Makorori to Midway because of conditions. While it is a contest and there are winners, organisers have always stressed it is more like a festival and the communtity atmosphere underlined this. STORY ON PAGE 2 Picture by Paul Rickard

A MOTORCYCLIST died of his injuries in Gisborne Hospital last night after crashing on Lavenham Road yesterday afternoon. Police, Fire and Emergency NZ and St John Ambulance were called to the crash site at about the midway point of Lavenham Road at around 4.30pm. “The bike rider, aged in his 30s, went off the road and crashed into a ditch,” an emergency services spokesman said. “He had suffered critical injuries and was transported to Gisborne Hospital by ambulance.” Police said the man died later in hospital, with family at his bedside. “We can confirm he was from Gisborne.” Police have yet to release the man’s name as they continue to notify all next-of-kin. “A serious crash inquiry has CONCERNED CITIZEN: Brett Lysaght has told Gisborne district councillors that speediing drivers use Stout Street as a “rat run” commenced into the cause of to avoid the Ormond Road roundabout and the Ballance Street Village, and do not concentrate on the seven intersections along the tragedy,” police said. “No Stout Street that are used by many school children.

CHRISTCHURCH — Known as the quake generation, Canterbury youth have had anything but an easy childhood, with a decade of earthquake- related trauma. Since February 2011, more than 30,000 earthquakes went on daily until mid-2012. Children have faced a “tsunami” of trauma from the quakes, and that has only worsened with natural disasters like the Port Hills fires, flooding, a terrorist attack and a global pandemic resulting in a lockdown. However, 10 years on from the February 22 Christchurch quake, many children seem to be much stronger and battle- ready, University of Canterbury child health researcher Associate LOWERING CHILDREN’S PTSD SYMPTOMS: Associate Professor Professor Kathleen Liberty said.
