Plan to deepen harbour channel
sparks environmental concerns
BRIDGET RUTHERFORD
Plans to dig a deeper channel
in Lyttelton Harbour are
progressing, but critics are
worried about the impact on
the environment, including
endangered hector’s dolphins.
Lyttelton Port of Christchurch
wants to deepen the harbour’s
navigation channel by 2m to
accommodate larger container
vessels.
It plans to apply for resource
consent mid-way
through this year.
But University
of Otago marine
animal expert
Professor
Liz Slooten
(left) said the
dredging could
be disruptive
to hector’s dolphins living in
and around the harbour. It it
estimated there are just over
7270 left.
Professor Slooten has been
doing research on hector’s
dolphins around Banks
Peninsula, and said the
population was already under
threat from fishing.
She said dredging the harbour
floor could remove marine life
fish feed on, ultimately having

channel in the harbour.

a flow-on affect to the dolphins,
she said.
She said Port Otago was
also looking to dredge to
accommodate larger vessels.
“It doesn’t make sense
for everyone to be doing
developments, probably paid
out of taxpayer money, doing
environmental damage when
we’re not sure if these ships are
coming,” Professor Slooten said.
LPC chief executive Peter
Davie said it wanted to do the
project in order to keep up with
international shipping trends to
support the regional economy.
He said LPC was working
with independent experts to
understand effects on marine
ecologies, marine mammals and
their food sources, both inside
and outside the harbour.
MP and Rapaki runanga
member Nuk Korako said the
runanga wanted the dredged
sediment to be dumped outside
the harbour.
He said the runanga
understood it was a working
port, and if they could find a
balance, they would be happy.
Green List MP Eugenie Sage
said LPC needed to consult with
the community about its plans
before it applied for consent.
“Leaving it just to the formal
Resource Management Act
processes is not consultation,
especially given the short
time-frames under the RMA
for people to understand and
comment on complex proposals.”
Lyttelton-Mt Herbert
Community Board chairwoman
Paula Smith said the dumping of
sediment dredged up would be
the most contentious issue.
She said some people in
Sumner and Taylors Mistake had
previously been worried that the
sediment could travel north with
the sea current.

FREEDOM
Residents suggest
ways to clamp down
on boy racers
BRIDGET RUTHERFORD
Governors Bay residents have
come up with measures to try
and help police clamp down on
boy racer issues in the area.
Four community
representatives met on Monday
to discuss the progress that has
been made on the problem over
the past year.
Resident Rosie Belton said
the group decided it wanted the
speed limit lowered on Dyers
Pass Rd from 100km/h down to
70km/h.
“At the moment if they’re
going 90km/h and it’s
dangerous, police can’t do
anything because the limit is
100km/h.”
The community also wanted
more signage, including flashing
speed signs at the entry points
to Governors Bay, to make
drivers aware to slow down, she
said.
Another point raised was the
possibility of having a different
surface at the bottom of Dyers
Pass Rd to try and prevent boy

racers from doing burnouts and
donuts there.
“We just want to feel safe on
our roads.”
Lyttelton-Mt Herbert
Community Board member
Denis Aldridge, who was at the
informal meeting, would take
the issues raised to the board,
and city council.
Community board
chairwoman and Summit Road
Protection Authority member
Paula Smith said a meeting
was held about three weeks ago
to talk about how to curb the
problem.
City council staff, authority
members and community board
members came up with four
possible mitigation measures,
including possibly prohibiting
parts of Summit Rd to vehicles
at certain times.
A report would be prepared
based on those options, and
would go to the authority’s next
meeting in July to be discussed,
Ms Smith said.
Ms Belton said Governors Bay
residents would be happy for
parts of the Summit Rd to be
closed at times, because it would
stop boy racers using the route.

a lower speed limit and more

CAMPING BAN
EXTENDED
The temporary freedom
camping ban at French Farm,
Wainui and Ferrymead’s
Windsport Park has been
extended until May 31, 2017.
City council chief executive
Karleen Edwards made the
decision to extend the ban
last week. Non-self-contained
freedom campers were
allowed in five sites across
the city under a new bylaw,
however, it drew problems with
overcrowding and overuse of
toilets, forcing the city council
to put a temporary ban in place
in March. The city council
will conduct a partial review
of the bylaw this year, and an
extensive review next year.
ANDREW TURNER TO STAND
IN BANKS PENINSULA WARD
City councillor Andrew Turner
has been selected by The
People’s Choice to contest the
Banks Peninsula ward in the
upcoming local body elections.
Cr Turner said if he was reelected
as the Banks Peninsula
councillor, his priorities would
be to ensure the new community
board was a success to continue
to deliver the rebuild and
repair of facilities, ensure the
community is involved in
decision making, and make
sure the peninsula voices were
heard.

Ferry a vital connection
Diamond
Harbour
Community
Association
chairman
Richard
Suggate says if
the Diamond
Harbour Ferry
is to be part
of an effective public transport
network, it needs to easily
connect with bus services.
The Diamond Harbour ferry
is a vital connection between
Lyttelton and the harbour’s
southern bays. During the
week it takes residents to and
from school, work and town
appointments. In the weekend
it’s popular with shoppers in the
Lyttelton market and visitors
coming to enjoy the area’s
coastal walks, cafes and beach.
Instead of keeping the ferry
berth at its current site, where
SOAP
BOX
it’s short walk to London
St and the town centre, the
Lyttelton Port of Christchurch
has approval to move the ferry
service west into Dampier
Bay. From there it’s a longer,
less convenient walk to town,
especially for parents with
push chairs, people carrying
shopping, and seniors.
The recently released Dampier
Bay draft design guide does not
show a bus turning area and
adequate car parking for ferry
users close to the proposed
Dampier Bay terminal. If the
ferry is to be part of an effective
public transport network then it
needs to easily connect with bus
services to and from Lyttelton
and the city.
The current repair work on
the bus turning area which
means buses are in Norwich
Quay and no longer close to
the ferry, shows the problem
when ferry and bus services are
disconnected. Bus timetables at
evening rush hour have become
meaningless. People miss the
ferries they want when buses
arrive late in Lyttelton because
of city traffic congestion;
blocked bus lanes in Colombo
St; and the extra distance
between the bus stop and the
ferry.
If we want reliable, wellpatronised
public transport links
between the central city, Lyttelton
and the harbour bays, then city
bus lanes needed to be policed
and kept clear for buses; the No
28 Express bus service popular
before the earthquakes reinstated;
realistic timetables prepared; and
a modern ferry terminal built
sooner rather than later.
HAVE YOUR SAY: Do you think
the Diamond Harbour Ferry
service links well with the bus
timetable? Email your views to
bridget.rutherford@starmedia.

National List MP based in
the Port Hills, Nuk Korako,
says we need to clean up our
waterways for the future:
Earlier this month I joined
roughly 1300 volunteers in
the inaugural
‘Mother of all
Clean Ups’.
Right across
Christchurch,
numerous
community
groups, residents’
associations and
individuals came
together to pick
up over twenty
tonnes of litter
from along the
estuary edge and
riverbanks.
Thank you to the Avon-
Ōtākaro Network, Ōpāwaho
Heathcote River Network
and Avon-Heathcote Estuary
Ihutai Trust for coordinating
this superb initiative, and
thank you to everyone
who took part. This was a
wonderful opportunity for
us all to reconnect with our
natural assets.
It was great to see such a
fantastic community effort
going in to cleaning up
our local waterways, but
managing our freshwater
resources is also a national
issue and one that requires
Government action.
That is why the Government
is taking steps to improve our
freshwater management. We
have already committed more
than $350 million on projects
to clean up and protect New
Zealand’s most
iconic lakes, rivers
and wetlands.
We are also
strengthening
and clarifying the
national standards
and setting limits
regionally to protect
the environment and
water users. These
steps are crucial
in making sure we
leave our rivers,
lakes and aquifers
in better shape for future
generations.
Cleaning up our rivers
and lakes is a big task and in
many cases it will take time
to see the results we need.
With both the Government
and our local communities
tackling this matter head-on,
I know we will continue to
make significant progress
in protecting this important
resource.
HAVE YOUR SAY: do you
think the Government is
doing enough to clean up
waterways? Email bridget.

BRIDGET RUTHERFORD
Lyttelton firefighters braved the
cold on Saturday to unveil the
original foundation stone where
their new station will be built.
The foundation stone came
from Lyttelton’s original fire station
on the corner of Oxford St
and Sumner Rd, which the brigade
moved out of in 1967.
It had been in storage until it
was installed at the Oxford St
site at the weekend, alongside
a new plaque explaining its significance.
The volunteer fire brigade’s
Oxford St station was badly
damaged in the February 2011
earthquake and later demolished.
Work to build a new station
on the site has begun, and is expected
to be completed by December.
Chief fire officer Mark Buckley
said brigade life member and
former chief fire officer John
Fogarty who received a Queen’s
Fire Service Medal, unveiled the
foundation stone.
He said it was a symbolic
day.

fire officer John Fogarty unveils

The brigade had to move to the
Lyttelton Port of Christchurch
car park following the quakes,
before moving back into temporary
premises on Oxford St,
and then into its current home on
Norwich Quay.
“It’s great to see some forward
movement on the station,” Mr
Buckley said.
Water levels
being
monitored
BRIDGET RUTHERFORD
Banks Peninsula’s stream levels
are being monitored this week
to see whether water restrictions
need to be put in place.
City council reticulation manager
Rob Meek said the city council
was investigating the introduction
of water restrictions in Banks
Peninsula.
Following the rainfall over the
weekend, the city council was going
to monitor the situation over
the week to give it a better idea of
whether the restrictions needed to
be imposed.
The networks most at risk were
Duvauchelle, Takamatua and
Akaroa, he said.
“We are currently working out
the stream flows for all streams
in Banks Peninsula to decide
whether restrictions are needed.’’
Banks Peninsula Water Zone
Committee chairman Steve
Lowndes said the area was particularly
exposed in dry weather
because it was not connected to
Christchurch’s aquifers.
But he said it was not a one-off,
rather the beginning of an ongoing
trend as a result of climate change.
“We all must start to change our
attitude to the way we consume
and conserve water.”

Glen Walker
Firefighter takes up challenge
On Saturday, Lyttelton’s volunteer firefighter Glen
Walker will tackle the gruelling Sky Tower Stair
Challenge “one last time”. Bridget Rutherford spoke
to the 62-year-old about the mental and physical
challenge of running up 1103 stairs in full kit, his
most memorable call outs, and losing his daughter.
So you are competing in
this month’s Sky Tower Stair
Challenge, when do you start
training for it?
Well the event is so popular,
entries for it open in November
each year. So I always start
training then to ease into it. It’s
quite hard to ration training for
six months, but it’s just something
you have to do. Living in
Lyttelton is great because you
just go out your back door and
there are steep places. Going
up Bridle Path is good. You’ve
got to train on stairs with some
weight on to get your body used
to climbing. As you get closer
to the time, you start going out
full kit to get used to climbing
with the equipment. Every year
we do the Rendezvous challenge,
which is about 20 floors.
It’s about the tallest building in
Christchurch now. That was in
early April, and the Lyttelton
team won the volunteer brigade
prize.
So how many times have you
taken part in the Sky Tower
challenge?
This will be number six. The
first time I did it was the year of
the February 2011 earthquake.
We were in training and then
the quake hit. The Lyttelton
brigade camped at the station for
about six weeks. We cancelled
and some of Auckland brigades
called us and paid for our airfares
to still take part. I got third
in the over 50s category that
year.
Can you fill me in on what it
involves?
Well you start at five or six
floors below the street level at
the Auckland Sky Tower. And
everyone goes off about every
30 seconds starting at 7.30am.
And they keep going every 30
seconds until mid-afternoon.
Everyone is dressed in full kit,
so it’s just a case of trying to
judge the pace, the air in your
cylinder, and you go round and

just turned 62 and I can still beat
some of the younger guys.
What is your best time?
I did 12 minutes 26 seconds.
That was three years ago when I
won the over 50s. Winning or trying
to win is a great motivation.
How many are in the Lyttelton
team?
We have eight in our team this
year from early 20s through to
me. We’ve raised nearly $21,000
so far and we’re right up there
among the top fund raising
teams in the country. Two of our
team members, Peter and Craig,
are right up there for the highest
individual fund raiser so that’s
pretty amazing.
You mentioned you’ve done
lots of cycle races and runs,
how does the challenge stack
up against those?
Out of all the things I’ve done,
half marathons and cycle races,
this is the only one that’s made
me just about physically sick. It
is so extremely tough that when
you get to the top, and even
up to half an hour later, you’re
trying to stop yourself heaving
into a nearby rubbish bin. That’s
part of the mental challenge, it’s
not just about the physical challenge.
And you’ve won a couple of
titles haven’t you?

to climb Sky Tower for charity
The first year I was third in the
over 50s, and the following year
I was second, then the year after
I won the over 50s. Then they
created the over 60s category, so
more older people are doing it.
I think this will be the last one,
your heart rate gets so high you
have to wonder if someone my
age should be doing it (laughs).
How long have you been a
firefighter?
I started in Governors Bay in
2002, and I’ve been with Lyttelton
since 2007.
What would have been the
toughest thing you have encountered
through your role as
a firefighter?
I think dealing with medical
calls, if there is someone injured
or very sick. We’re lucky in
Lyttelton we don’t get too many
accidents like other brigades.
There are a lot of physical challenges,
sometimes you can be up
on the roof in gale force winds
trying to bolt down a piece of
tin. It’s not just fires, you’ve got
to be quite resourceful and solve
problems.
What are some of the quirkier
call outs you’ve been to?
People often joke about getting
cats out of trees, and that
does happen. You might have
to quietly get the hose out and

Sky Tower Stair Challenge.
spray them so they come down.
Someone once said, you’ll never
find a cat’s skeleton in a tree,
they always come down. Those
are the stranger ones, animals
getting stuck somewhere.
Is there any rescue or fire
that you were called out to that
sticks in your mind?
Probably the recent one where
there was a fire at the top of a
steep road. It was a huge physical
effort. It was in the middle of
the night and turned out to be an
abandoned house fire way up in
the trees. That, and some of the
ships fire are probably the most
interesting ones.
And can you tell me a bit
about your family?
My wife’s name is Katharin,
and we have three children, they
have left home now. We lost
a daughter in 1996. She was
13 and died suddenly, cause
unknown. They didn’t find
anything wrong with her heart
or brain, she was perfect, she
just collapsed one day. We’ve
been pushing a lot for people
and organisations to get defibrillators
and I think it’s a much
bigger thing now. She could
have possibly been saved if they
had been available at the time.
We’ve only sort of recovered
from that. Grief is unusual thing
to go through, it can make you
stronger but it can knock you
down, too. Georgia was a good
little dancer, she was always
keen to go to Ireland for the
Irish Dancing Championships.
She would have been 21 in
about 2003, and my wife took
her ashes to Ireland, climbed a
sacred mountain and scattered
them there. Once we get our
house back, we would like to go
back to Ireland and visit her.

Lauryssens, Kevin Hurl and Andrew Legge all ran last year’s The Star
City2Surf 6km event in full kit.

And when you’re not working
or out on call outs, what
do you like to do in your spare
time?
We do a lot of DIY at home
and a lot of gardening. We always
love a project, but we’re in
a rental in Heathcote, so once we
get back into our home once our
insurance is sorted, we will get
into some more projects. .

Community centre name wanted
Lyttelton gears
up for festival
COMMUNITY INPUT: The new Sumner community facility needs a name – and you can make your
suggestions.
Calling all creative Sumner
residents – the new community
centre, library and museum
needs a name.
The Hagley-Ferrymead Community
Board discussed the best
way to name the new facility in
March and now the city council
is asking residents to submit their
ideas.
From there, the best suggestions
will be voted on by the public,
and a winner announced in
July, before construction is due
to begin in August.
Suggestions opened on Monday
and will continue until June
12.
The two-storey, 1200 sq m facility
will be built on the corner
of Wakefield Ave and Nayland
St, where the former community
centre sat.
It is expected to take 10 months
to build.
Communities, housing and
economic development committee
chairman Andrew Turner
said the name was one of the last
things to fall into place.
“We are looking for something
that will capture the elements
of the Sumner community
and all that the centre will offer
– a library, museum, meeting
rooms and large hall with a
stage.”
A similar campaign was used
to name Te Hapua: Halswell
Centre, and drew a number of inspiring
and amusing suggestions,
he said.
The winner would receive $50
credit at Christchurch City Libraries.
The city council earmarked
$10 million for the facility in the
2009-2019 Long Term Plan, and
the Sumner Redcliffs Historical
Society is contributing $50,000
for the construction of the museum.
Name suggestions can be made
online at www.yourvoice.ccc.
govt.nz/sumnercentre or at drop
boxes at Sumner School, The
Hub Sumner, Linwood Library
and South Library.

Health
Tips
Protect yourself for up to 3 months from
cold & flu
It’s coming into the time of year to be thinking about prevention of
colds & flu. Buccaline is an oral antibacterial prophylaxis for the
prevention of secondary bacterial infections associated with cold
and flu. Buccaline provides active immunisation against bacterial
colds. Illnesses of the upper respiratory are often caused by bacterial
infections. Viral and influenza-like illnesses are frequently made worse
by an additional bacterial infections and take longer to recover from.
Immunology investigations show that Buccaline significantly improves
resistance to colds and flu. Protection becomes effective after taking
the last set of tablets. To maintain effectiveness as well as taking
Buccaline at the beginning of the cold season take it again in the
middle of the cold season. Tablets should be swallowed whole with
some liquid one-hour before breakfast or lunch.

LYTTELTON TUNNEL NEWS
SOUTH ISLAND’S ECONOMIC LIFELINE
Since the February 2011 earthquake, Lyttelton
Tunnel has become even more of an economic
lifeline for Canterbury and the South Island. It is
critical for getting fuel supplies to Christchurch
and beyond and for exporters to get their
product to markets.
The long-term closure of Evans Pass because of
rockfall means the tunnel will remain the only
viable access route for freight vehicles to get to
the Lyttelton Port of Christchurch until late 2017/
early 2018 when it is expected Evans Pass will
re-open.
While Dyers Pass Road and Gebbies Pass can
be used by some heavy vehicles, these are not
preferred routes because of the greater safety
issues relating to steep grades and narrow,
windy roads.
The additional freight vehicles through
the tunnel, which includes those carrying
demolition rubble to the Port for its reclamation
programme, are contributing to the sometimes
general lack of cleanliness of the tunnel, i.e.
grime on the white tiles.
Up to eight tonnes of dirt and dust can be
removed from the tunnel every month. This
compares with 235kg a month before the
earthquakes, sweeping of the tunnel having
increased from once a month to three times a
week.
Cleaning of the tunnel often came second in
the early days following the earthquakes, with
the tunnel being kept open for freight vehicles,
particularly dangerous goods, which require the
tunnel to be closed to all other traffic, including
the cleaning machines, for periods of up to
10 minutes. Dangerous goods vehicles include
tankers carrying petrol, gas and other highly
flammable goods.
On average, 600 tankers travel through the
tunnel each month and up to 30 on some nights.
This means the tunnel can be closed for several
hours a day as the tankers arrive at varying
times, depending on schedules, the number of
closures differing each hour. These closures,
however, are at night, from 6.30pm to 7am.
The NZ Transport Agency works hard to
balance the needs of everyone who requires
access through the tunnel, keeping delays to a
minimum but always being mindful of the need
to undertake regular maintenance to protect the
51-year-old structure.
Lyttelton Tunnel bylaw
The NZ Transport Agency is bringing in a revised bylaw to better manage Lyttelton Tunnel
and ensure the safety of all users.
The biggest change under the revised bylaw will be mandatory covering of truck and
trailers carrying bulk goods through the tunnel. This is a result of dust and dirt from these
vehicles which has become both a safety and maintenance issue.
While the Land Transport Act requires all vehicles secure their loads, the new bylaw
specifies that all loose bulk loads must be covered in a way that minimises dirt and
material escaping.
The area over which the bylaw can be enforced is also being extended to cover State
Highway 74 from the intersection of Norwich Quay and Oxford Street, in Lyttelton, to the
old layover bay, 200 metres north, of the Bridle Path Road on-ramp on the Heathcote side.
For safety, the revised bylaw reconfirms that dangerous goods and over dimension
vehicles will not be allowed to use the tunnel. This will be enforced once Evans Pass reopens
late 2017/early 2018.
Under the revised bylaw, the maximum height and width limits for the tunnel will be:
• Any vehicle more than 2.6m wide needs permission to enter the tunnel
• No vehicles more than 4.27m in height can use the tunnel.
The new bylaw will come into effect 28 days after it is advertised in the NZ Gazette,
which is likely to be next month.

LYTTELTON TUNNEL NEWS
Restoring access
via Evans Pass
Work is underway to get earthquake-damaged Evans
Pass re-opened by late 2017/early 2018. This will enable
dangerous goods and over dimensional vehicles to
be re-routed via Evans Pass, reducing the number of
closures of Lyttelton Tunnel.
Work began repairing the road and retaining walls and
reducing the risk to road users of geotechnical hazards
at the end of last year and is progressing well.
This work, being undertaken by the Christchurch City
Council, will cost $40 to $60 million. The NZ Transport
Agency is funding 83 per cent of the cost, recognising
the importance of Sumner Road/Evans Pass as a lifeline
route and in getting freight to the Port of Lyttelton.
Work underway includes scaling to remove loose
surface materials; blasting to remove boulders and
outcrops; and earthworks including the engineered
removal of soil and rock to reshape the land. Bunds may
also be required to contain any future rock fall.
Keep up-to-date with this work by signing up for the
Christchurch City Council’s newsletter by emailing:
slcorridor@ccc.govt.nz
MAINTENANCE PROGRAMME
Lyttelton Tunnel celebrated its 50th birthday in 2014 and cosmetically the tunnel is
beginning to show its age.
Following the earthquakes, regular cleaning of the tunnel came second to keeping the
road open in the early days, in particular to provide access for freight vehicles to the
Port of Lyttelton.
In the last two years, the NZ Transport Agency has reinstated its regular cleaning
programme. To lessen the disruption for everyone, this is now going to be mainly on
Thursday nights from 9pm to 2am. That’s so everyone knows when there are likely to
be delays and to plan their journeys. What will impact on this timing, will be when bulk
ships are in Port and unload their cargo around the clock.
During the next couple of months, we will also be replacing the cat’s eye lights in the
centre of the road. This will be done at night and reduce the tunnel to single lane.
Vehicles will be escorted through during this time and there could be delays. These
delays will be advertised.
Towards the end of this year, the Transport Agency is looking to begin installing a
deluge system which will activate sprinklers in the tunnel in the event of a fire. This
work could result in the need for some lengthy closures but it is critical to improve
safety within the tunnel. The Transport Agency is currently working through ways to
minimise closures and keep everyone moving during this time.
HOW DO YOU KEEP INFORMED?
Closures of Lyttelton Tunnel can be frustrating for all users.
The NZ Transport Agency does work to minimise the disruption
and make it easier for everyone to get to where they need to
go on time.
Regular planned maintenance work is carried out throughout
the week, usually on a Thursday night from 9pm to 2am when
access is single-lane and vehicles are escorted through; other
closures are limited to 10 minutes for dangerous goods vehicles
to travel through the tunnel.

Time to check your
personal flotation device
BY GARY MANCH, NAVIGA-
TIONAL SAFETY OFFICER,
LYTTELTON
I thought our boating season had
come to an end, but the long fine
weather spell continues.
It’s great to see everyone out
there making the most of the fantastic
weather, long may it continue.
But like most things, all
good things come to an end, and
I guess old man winter wants his
bite of the cherry.
One thing I want to mention is
personal flotation devices or life
jackets as they are commonly referred
to.
Many of us out there have the
inflatable types, some are selfinflating.
In our office our PFDs
are sent away every year to be
checked and made sure they
are safe. Then each time we put
them on we have a visible check
for safety first.
How many of you out there
have had your PFD checked by
an expert, or at least completed a
self-check yourself?
Here are some tips:
Check the gas cylinder for corrosion.
If it has corrosion, return
the jacket to your local boat store
and ask them to replace the gas
cylinder.
Make sure the cylinder is
screwed in firmly, this should be
Pirate’s Corner
checked every time you use the
PFD.
Check the outer cover for
holes, signs of wear or deterioration.
If the PFD is in this state,
chuck it out and get a new one.
Orally inflate the bladder and
leave it inflated for 24 hours. If
the bladder deflates, get an authorised
repair person at your local
boat shop to repair or replace.
In relation to wearing inflatable
PFDs, here is some further
advice:
Adult inflatables should never
be worn by children 12 years old
or less.
Always use a crotch strap. This
prevents the PFD slipping over
your head if you fall in the water.
You don’t grow into a life
jacket, they should fit comfortably.
No more than three fingers
should be able to be placed under
shoulder straps, and the straps
should be firmly fastened.
Lift you or the child’s
arms above the head, lift the
shoulders of the jacket. If it
raises above the chin the jacket
is too large.
Many years ago the helmet
manufacturer Bell had a saying,
“if you have a $10 head wear a
$10 helmet.”
This saying can be applied to
life jackets and PFDs as well.
Always buy safety standard approved
PFD or life jacket fit for
purpose, and maintain the piece
of equipment to the manufacturers
standard and advice given
above.
You never know, it may come
in really handy. Oh and I forgot,
it won’t save you from drowning
if it’s still in the boat under the
bow, think about that as well.
This is my last Pirates Corner
for a few weeks as I am taking
a well-earned (well some would
disagree) break, take care.

has sent them $US100,000 so
hopefully that will help with the
rebuild.
A new community centre
opened in Aranui last week – the
Aranui Wainoni Community
Centre will serve a great need
in that area. Christchurch Lions
used earthquake donations to
help fund this project to the tune
of $45,0000. Where there is a
need there are Lions is a most
appropriate motto.
On the local Lyttelton scene
the community van used by
Community House and the
Youth Centre died and could not
be revived at the beginning of
this year.
This van is used not just by
the youth for camps, outings and
sporting activities but also by
Community House to take the
elderly shopping, to take them to
medical appointments and hospital
visits, delivery of meals to
housebound to name just a few.
The walking group also used
the van to access areas around
Christchurch. So you can see it
is an essential part of the community.
Community House is
organising a fundraiser to buy
a new or good, secondhand 10
to 12 seater van. At the Festival
of Lights in Lyttelton on June
24 the Youth Centre, Rotary and
Lions will be holding a bucket
drop and we ask for a gold coin
donation. Local businesses are
promising help.
We intend to make this a
project for the community by
the community. So Lyttelton do
come on board. If you can offer
any support at all please phone
Christine Wilson at Community
House on 328 7427 or 741 1427.
Keep busy.

LIKE FATHER LIKE SON: Greg and Sam Boss
suit up to brave the waves.
FRASER WALKER-PEARCE
When some sports teams
were warm inside after their
weekend’s matches were called
off, the Sumner Longboarders
braved the bitter wind and rain to
run a competition.
The club organised an event
on Sunday morning in the hopes
that it would be a clear, warm
day with a good swell for surfing.
But when the keen surfers
gathered, they were met with a
“howling” wind and constant
rain on a day that registered just
11 deg C as its high.
Sumner Longboarders
president Shane Austin said
there was a great turnout for the
FIGHTING THE COLD: Nick Begg placed fourth
in the competition.
Surfers brave weather
event, in spite of the “atrocious”
weather.
“Even with the howling
southerlies and snow on the
mountains we had 14 people turn
up, which was amazing. So we
had about six heats before the
finals,” he said.
The brave surfers took to the
waters of Scarborough for the
monthly competition, which was
organised by the club.
Mr Austin said the surfers
could deal with the driving
rain, the “real killer” was the
wind.
“To tell you the truth the conditions
were really good. The
water is fresh but the wind was
the real killer,” he said.
First place went to club captain
Luke O’Neill, then Mark Robberds,
Russell ‘Rusty’ Johns,
and Nick Begg rounded out the
top four.
Mr Austin said everyone enjoyed
themselves, in spite of the
weather, and the barbecue at the
end of the competition was well
worth the wait.
“Overall it was really good,
and the barbecue went well. The
judges of the competition were
club members, as well. We figure
if you’re not competing, you’re
judging,” he said.
Mr Austin said the club is
looking forward to the next
event in Kaikoura on June 19.
The “classic one wave” competition
against Kaikoura Surf Lifesaving
Club.

Taking gourmet duck to the next level
BRIDGET RUTHERFORD
Hunters were not the only ones
who had been looking forward
to duck shooting season.
Chefs from an Akaroa and
three Christchurch restaurants
have been working to come up
with signature duck dishes to
perfectly compliment the 2013
Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir.
It is part of the sixth Cloudy
Bay Pinot and Duck Tasting
Trail, which launched in
Christchurch on May 6 to tie
in with the beginning of duck
hunting season.
The specialist dishes will be
served until the end of May.
Chefs from Empire and
Baretta, on St Asaph St,
Merivale’s JDV and The Little
Bistro in Akaroa, have each
experimented and come up with
dishes to perfectly compliment
the pinot noir.
Baretta will serve an entrée
of confit duck leg, herb spatzle,
duck liver parfait, compressed
pear, orange and cress for $33.
Empire will have the option of
saikyo miso duck breast, candied
kumara, braised daikon, goji
berries and yuzu pinot sauce for
$35.
The Little Bistro has gone for
a French style dish of braised
duck leg crepes, anise poached
blueberries, and parfait jus for
$30, while JDV will serve confit
duck leg, quince, celeriac, white
bean cassoulet and orange jus for
$55.
All dishes have a glass of 2013
Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir included
in the price. Restaurants from
across the country are taking
part in this year’s trail.
Cloudy Bay senior brand
manager Ali Campbell the idea
was all about eating seasonally
which paired well with the
beginning of duck hunting
season.
The trail allowed people to
go along to any of the four
Christchurch restaurants to
try duck, which they may not
have tried before, and the wine
together, she said.
Cloudy Bay Estate director
Ian Morden said the grapes
ON OFFER: Empire head chef Tadayuki Kuroiwa plating up the confit duck leg, herb spatzle, duck liver parfait, compressed pear, orange and
cress, which will be served at Baretta with Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir.
PHOTOS: JOSEPH JOHNSON
for the pinot noir were grown
in the Southern Valleys in
Marlborough, in clay based soil,
and paired perfectly with duck.
“With meat as gamey as duck,
it is important to have a wine
that has a soft touch of acid to
cut through the richness and
strong enough flavours that do
not get lost in its earthy gusto.”
•As part of the trail, people
are invited to share their
experience on Facebook to be
in to win a restaurant voucher
to the value of $200 for any
participating restaurant in
their region. They can upload
a photo of their favourite duck
dish to Facebook and tag it
with #pinotandducknz and
#cloudybaynz to go in the draw.
TASTY: Chefs Shawn Cassidy and Tadayuki Kuroiwa serve up the
confit duck dish.
PERFECT MATCH: Empire will be serving up a saikyo miso duck
breast dish (left), matched with a glass of Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir
throughout May.

DEALER FINANCE LIMITED
Dealer Finance Limited and the Commerce Commission have entered into a settlement agreement relating to
overcharged interest on loans. This resulted from Dealer Finance not crediting part repayments made by borrowers
against the unpaid balance of the loan as soon as practicable, and as a consequence, overcharging interest to the
borrower.
If you purchased a vehicle through one of the car dealers listed below between April 2005 and April 2015, which was
financed through Dealer Finance, you may be entitled to a refund of any overcharged interest, together with a 5%
uplift payment.
Dealer Finance has recently sent notification to all affected clients by mail. If you have not received this notification
please contact Dealer Finance by email on enquiries@dfl.co.nz to find out whether you are entitled to a refund.
Please include your full name, current and previous addresses, and if known, the car dealer you purchased your car
through and the vehicle registration number.
PLEASE NOTE - NO contact is required from you:
• if you still have a current open loan(s) with Dealer Finance; or
• if you have previously repaid a loan(s) with Dealer Finance (taken out between above dates) but have a current
loan(s) with Dealer Finance,
as we will be crediting your open loan or we have made or are in the process of making appropriate internal
adjustments.
A copy of the settlement agreement can be found on www.comcom.govt.nz
