‘Hawke Eye’ 

farewelled 

in fitting 

manner 

• By Bridget Rutherford 

DIAMOND HARBOUR Rugby 

Football Club’s co-founder 

“Hawke Eye Hawkins” has been 

farewelled. 

Ben Hawkins, 77, died 

on June 9 after a long 

illness. His funeral was 

held on Monday at St 

Andrew’s Community 

Church. 

Mr Hawkins 

co-founded the rugby 

club with former Diamond 

Harbour chief fire 

officer Don Cameron in 1968, 

after moving to the area in 1966. 

After the funeral, his friends 

and family gathered for an “after-match” 

function, like those 

typically held after a game, where 

a lot of “humour, recollections 

and reminiscing” took place. 

Mr Cameron said he played 

for the club for many years as 

a hooker, and gained the nickname 

‘Hawke Eye Hawkins’. 

“He was a great hooker and 

was highly respected 

amongst his peers. 

He just knew his way 

around the field and 

knew what was going 

on.” 

Once Mr Hawkins 

finished playing for 

the club, he went on to 

coach the junior teams, 

and later joined the Ellesmere 

Junior Advisory Board. 

In 2000, he was named a club 

patron. 

Mr Hawkins moved to 

Christchurch from Wairoa as 

part of the Maori Affairs Trade 

Training Scheme.

HAPPY DAYS: Redcliffs Public Library sub-committee members Tuula Rapley and Jan 

McLauchlan were happy to get construction under way at the library’s sod-turning event on 

Friday. The pair spoke at the event, along with city councillor Yani Johanson, before the site 

was blessed and the sod was turned. The Main Rd library was damaged in the February 

and June 2011 earthquakes, and later demolished. City Care will build the new library, which 

is due to open before the end of the year.

THE 

EDITOR’S 

DESK News.........................3,4,5 & 6 

I’M STILL a big fan of libraries. 

Though most people now have 

those fancy Kindle reading 

machines, I’m sticking with 

paper pages. 

THerefore, I am very much 

looking forward to the day when 

I will be able to walk down the 

road and enjoy Redcliffs Public 

Library once again. The first 

sod was turned last week and 

hopefully in five months it will 

be ready to go. See the article on 

page 5. 

Green MP Eugenie Sage 

has written a great column 

this week. She talks about the 

two significant heritage sites 

Ripapa Island and Godley Head 

tracks and batteries and the 

consequences of the Department 

of Conservation being underfunded. 

Have a good week.

New life for old school 

• By Bridget Rutherford 

ONE OF Le Bons Bay’s 

community hubs will rise 

again as an education and 

cultural centre for school 

camps and activities. 

Le Bons Bay Environmental 

Education Trust and Te 

Rūnanga o Koukourarata have 

applied for resource consent 

to turn the former school site 

into an education and cultural 

centre. 

Le Bons Bay School voluntarily 

closed at the end of 2012 

because it had just four pupils. 

The Le Bons Bay Rd site is 

owned by Te Rūnanga o Koukourarata, 

after the Ministry 

of Education decided to sell it 

following the school’s closure. 

As part of the plan, the trust 

and runanga hope to use the 

site and its buildings for camp 

accommodation, community 

activities, and education on the 

area. 

They hope to renovate the 

existing buildings, so they 

could accommodate up to 40 

people for overnight stays to 

service school visits and other 

groups. 

They would also be used 

for environmental education 

programmes, as well as art and 

yoga classes. 

Alongside that, it wants to 

gain consent to use the eastern 

portion of the site for camping 

for up to 20 people during their 

stay in the summer months. 

The site could also then be 

available to be used for community 

events, market days, 

and a community hall. 

The site currently has two 

single-storey buildings, an 

indoor swimming pool and a 

playground. 

Akaroa-Wairewa Community 

Board chairwoman 

Pam Richardson said it was an 

exciting project. 

She said the buildings were 

in relatively good condition, 

and only needed to be renovated 

to bring them back up to 

standard. 

“It will be amazing.” 

HUB: The former Le Bons 

Bay School buildings will be 

renovated and used to host 

school camps, education 

and cultural classes, and act 

as a community hub. 

In Brief 

LAKE WARNING 

A health warning is still in place 

at Lake Forsyth as Environment 

Canterbury continues to monitor 

its condition. ECan surface water 

science manager Tim Davie said 

the nodularia concentrations had 

declined, but were still above the level 

at which health warnings needed to be 

in place. To remove these warnings, it 

takes two consecutive weekly readings 

at below the warning level, which had 

not happened. The lake’s quality came 

under fire in April when the algal 

bloom flared up after a run of dry 

weather. 

ECAN CANDIDATES 

Banks Peninsula water zone 

committee chairman Steve Lowndes 

will stand for the regional council in 

October’s elections. He was selected 

to stand for Environment Canterbury 

by Labour-aligned group, The 

People’s Choice. Redcliffs resident 

Dr Cynthia Roberts has also been 

named as a candidate. Under the 

new ECan structure, seven elected 

representatives would join up to six 

appointed commissioners. 

NO FIREWORKS FOR SUMNER 

Sumner will not host the annual Guy 

Fawkes’ fireworks display, which will 

remain at the New Brighton Pier. 

Sumner was mooted as a temporary 

location for the display, while the pier 

undergoes earthquake repairs. The 

city council said the display would not 

disrupt the pier’s repair programme.

Shortlist for 

library name 

NAME OPTIONS for Sumner’s 

new library, community centre and 

museum have been shortlisted to 

five. 

The names include, Matuku 

Takotako: Sumner Centre, Sumner 

Community Centre, Library and 

Museum, Tuawera: Sumner Centre, 

The Cornerstone and Surfers Peak. 

The city council received 175 

name suggestions in a competition 

which closed on June 12. A panel 

then sorted through the entries and 

selected the five finalists. 

City councillor Paul Lonsdale 

said there were clear favourites and 

common themes which ranged 

from environmental, historical, 

cultural and bilingual to functional 

names. 

“The shortlisted Te Reo names 

reflect Sumner’s historical Māori 

links with some really nice 

meanings behind them, while 

others draw inspiration from the 

coastal landscape.” 

The winning name will be 

announced in July, and the results 

will go to the Hagley-Ferrymead 

Community Board for the final 

decision. 

The community now has until 

July 3 to go online and vote for their 

favourite name at www.yourvoice.

Storage facility for The Loons 

A 20FT shipping container 

has been transformed into 

a storage facility for The 

Loons Theatre Company 

thanks to Lyttelton Port of 

Christchurch. 

The shipping container was 

donated by LPC as part of its 

commitment to the Harbour 

Basin community in which it 

operates. 

The Loons celebrated the 

opening of its new theatre 

and teaching venue called the 

Lyttelton Arts Factory with a 

two-night cabaret show at the 

weekend. 

The theatre company is 

sharing a school hall with 

Lyttelton Primary School on 

Oxford St. 

Factory manager Darryl 

Cribb said the biggest challenge 

of the LAF’s new base 

was the lack of storage on site. 

“The shipping container 

created the perfect opportunity 

for us to maximise the 

dead space behind the school 

hall by constructing a unique 

storage facility that could 

house our essential production 

items from sets to stage 

props and the scissor lift,” Mr 

Cribb said. 

“We wouldn’t have been 

able to purchase the extra 

storage space and modify the 

container to fit the site without 

the support of Lyttelton 

Port company. This donation 

makes on site storage viable 

for us and I don’t know what 

we would have done with out 

it.” 

The container was modified 

by Christchurch-based 

manufacturing firm Galbraith 

Engineering to create two 

rectangular storage units. The 

units were delivered on site 

last Tuesday by NZ Express 

Transport free of charge. 

“It took two trucks and 

three staff to shoehorn the 

containers into the space, and 

one of the containers 

had a 10mm 

clearance. Even just 

having this modicum 

of space means we 

can function as a 

professional theatre 

venue,” Mr Cribb 

said. 

The Loons is 

now preparing 

for its first official 

theatre production 

– a 10-night run of 

British play Road in 

July.

Work begins on library 

• By Tania Green 

CONSTRUCTION OF the new 

Redcliffs Public Library is now 

under way. 

The Redcliffs community 

went along to the Main Rd site 

for the sod-turning ceremony 

on Friday. 

Redcliffs Public Library 

patron and former city councillor 

David Cox turned the first 

sod, with the help of children 

Andrew and Nao McLauchlan 

after the land was blessed. 

City councillor Yani Johanson 

spoke at the event, along 

with library sub-committee 

members Jan McLauchlan and 

Tuula Rapley, and president 

Rosemary Sladen. 

The old library was badly 

damaged in the February and 

June 2011 earthquakes, and 

later demolished. 

Ms McLauchlan said it was a 

relief to get to this point. 

“We’ve been fighting for five 

years to get to this stage and it 

means quite a lot. And it means 

a huge amount for the whole 

community because they lost 

their library and for five years 

people have been saying when 

do we get a new library? And 

now they can see something is 

happening, and it’s very exciting.” 

City Care will build the onestorey 

library, which will have a 

reception, children’s library and 

community break out space. 

City councillor Paul Lonsdale 

said Redcliffs Tennis Club had 

housed the library for the past 

five years. 

“So it just shows the community 

can pull together and 

actually deliver an outcome 

that still delivers a service in 

a way that actually is community-minded.” 

Construction is expected to 

take about five months.

Fitting farewell 

for ‘Hawke Eye’ 

•From page 1 

He worked as a mechanic in 

Christchurch and Culverden, 

North Canterbury, before moving 

to Diamond Harbour to work at 

Mr Cameron’s garage in Church 

Bay in 1966. 

He then went on to become a 

diesel engineer for Lyttelton Port 

of Christchurch. 

During his time in Diamond 

Harbour, Mr Hawkins joined the 

volunteer fire brigade, serving for 

22 years. 

Mr Cameron said he was a 

“humble man”, and a “top bloke”. 

“He knew what he wanted and 

what to be. He was Maori and had 

great mana, and with that comes 

respect.” 

Quake damage 

valuations 

Banks Peninsula property owners 

with unrepaired earthquake 

damage are being asked to report 

it, so it can be taken into account 

when they are revalued this year. 

The city council has contracted 

Quotable Value to revalue more 

than 160,000 properties. It is urging 

people to register the damage 

so the new rating valuation is “fair 

and accurate”. The new values 

will apply to rates from July next 

year. People can report damage on 

QV’s website.

The company has been recognised 

in the sales and marketing 

category. 

It is a 2015 Deloitte Fast 500

“It’s also one of the very few 

Google certified and trusted

to create Google Street 

View tours. 

Mint Design director Alice 

Moore said it was an honour to 

have been a finalist. 

“We’re just a local web-design

Christchurch going up against 

some major players from Auckland

Move forces resignation 

• By Tom Doudney 

HAGLEY-Ferrymead 

Community Board deputy 

chairwoman Islay McLeod has 

resigned because she is moving 

back to Dunedin. 

Ms McLeod was critical of 

the performance of her board 

which she said suffered from 

a lack of local government 

experience. 

Her departure will not trigger a 

by-election this close to elections 

in October and Ms McLeod said 

she had checked to make sure 

this was the case before resigning. 

“A lot of people in good faith 

voted for me and I would be 

letting them down if I cost the 

ratepayers anything or if there 

was anything significant coming 

up,” she said. 

“There are not a lot of major 

issues coming up. The Annual 

Plan is all sorted, the Replacement 

District Plan is pretty well 

sorted.” 

Asked if her second term 

on the board had been a good 

experience, Ms McLeod said “not 

particularly.” 

“My first term was good 

because there were good steady 

hands with very experienced and 

practised people like Bob Todd, 

who was the chair, and David 

Cox,” she said. 

“In this latest term, out of the 

seven of us, four had no local 

government experience at all.” 

She said at times the board had 

not been proactive enough when 

it came to taking a stand on local 

issues, such as the date for building 

a Linwood-Woolston pool 

continually being delayed. 

“Just putting in a submission 

like everybody else isn’t the way,” 

she said. 

“I think the board could have 

and should have had a more 

powerful and vocal say on what is 

happening in our ward.” 

Board chairwoman Sara Templeton 

said she didn’t think that a 

lack of experience was evident on 

the board. 

“I think this board has actually 

been incredibly passionate and 

vocal about a range of different 

issues and has taken it to council 

on many occasions and pushed 

for things.” 

Ms McLeod will also step 

down from the Christchurch 

West Melton Zone Committee. 

She moved to Christchurch 12 

years ago to be close to her mother 

who had health problems. Her 

mother passed away at the end of 

last year.

Heathcote Valley School hall was transformed into a winter wonderland to raise money for the school 

pool. Parents Cheryl Bryant and Georgie Brook organised a ball to raise money for the remainder of the 

school pool rebuild. It is the second year they have organised a parents ball, and they hope to continue 

doing so to pay for the pool’s maintenance. The final tally raised had not been done yet, but was 

estimated to be about $6000.

EQC UPDATE KEEPING YOU INFORMED | JUNE 2016 

EQC begins settling ILV land damage claims 

Head of Canterbury Land Settlement for EQC, 

Keith Land 

The Earthquake Commission has begun 

settling claims for Increased Liquefaction 

Vulnerability (ILV) land damage. 

Keith Land, Head of Canterbury Land 

Settlement, says that the settlements will go to 

4,400 customers whose properties have 

qualified as having an increased vulnerability to 

liquefaction following the 2010-2011 

Canterbury earthquakes. 

“Each qualified property is being assessed and 

will be cash settled on a case-by-case basis as 

we have done to date with other forms of land 

damage resulting from these earthquakes. 

Similar to Increased Flooding Vulnerability (IFV) 

land damage, settlement of ILV land damage is 

a world-first. This type of land damage has not 

been covered by insurance anywhere else, so 

Fulbright-EQC Award recipient to study 

seismic performance of high-rise walls 

The Fulbright-EQC Graduate Award’s newest recipient, Alex Shegay, 

is looking into the reasons behind unexpected failures of reinforced 

concrete walls and ways in which performance can be improved. 

Mr Shegay, 24, has been granted the 2016 Fulbright-EQC Graduate 

Award in Natural Disaster Research and soon will be heading to the 

University of Washington on his exchange. 

In the US, he will research the seismic performance of high-rise structural 

walls and use experimental data to create validated computer models. 

The research will go towards his PhD in Structural/Earthquake 

Engineering at the University of Auckland. 

“Structural engineers have significant social responsibility to protect 

civilians even in the most devastating circumstances. The 2010/2011 

Canterbury Earthquakes were an example of one such catastrophic event, 

producing ground accelerations never before recorded in an urban 

environment. 

“Many concrete buildings in Christchurch that relied on reinforced 

concrete walls for seismic resistance were severely damaged to the 

point that it was fortunate to find them still standing. It’s crucial to learn 

from the Canterbury earthquakes and improve building design and 

construction practice.” 

considerable work was required to get the 

engineering and valuation methodologies 

right,” said Mr Land. 

“We want to make sure that the final settlements 

are based on a robust and appropriate 

settlement process so that customers can have 

confidence their claims for ILV land damage 

have been paid consistently and fairly.” 

EQC expects at least two thirds of ILV 

customers will receive settlements based on 

the reduction in their property’s market value 

caused by ILV, also known as Diminution of 

Value (DOV). 

“This is because generally, there are no 

available ground improvement methods to 

address ILV damage on a property where 

a house has remained in place since the 

earthquakes,” says Mr Land. 

The remaining third of ILV customers are being 

assessed for a settlement based on the cost to 

repair the ILV land damage. This will generally 

be in situations where the house has already 

been, or will be, rebuilt or removed due to the 

earthquake damage.” 

Customers receiving a ‘cost to repair’ 

settlement will be individually case-managed, 

as the situation for each of them varies. Before 

it can be confirmed that these customers will 

receive a repair cost settlement, more 

information is needed to understand their 

property’s current situation. 

Mr Land says that settlements for DOV 

customers began this month and EQC also 

started contacting repair cost customers. 

EQC has resolved nearly 90% of properties 

with land claims resulting from 2010-2011 

Canterbury earthquakes, and expects to 

resolve the remainder of the land programme 

by the end of 2016. 

EQC will also hold six ILV meetings from July to 

November for customers whose settlements are 

based on DOV. The purpose of the meetings is 

for customers to ask questions and hear from 

EQC and its valuers about what’s been involved 

in ILV settlement decisions.

The Fulbright-EQC Graduate Award in Natural Disaster Research 

facilitates research that reduces and prevents natural disaster damage. 

It is part of $16 million granted by EQC each year to high quality research 

that builds knowledge about New Zealand’s natural disasters. 

Progress report 

on EQC remedial 

programme 

The Earthquake Commission has received 8,337 

remedial enquiries of which 2,211 have been resolved 

as of 27 May 2016. This leaves 6,126 enquiries 

remaining. 

The amount recorded as being spent on remedial work to 

May 2016 was $7,068,833. However it has not been possible 

to separate out all remedial costs from other work streams. 

The total cost of the remedial repairs will never be finally 

known until we have resolved all the outstanding claims. 

There are still a number of unknowns and it’s also too early 

to say exactly what the final figure will be for the remedial 

programme. However, EQC expects the final cost could be 

in the region of $60 million to $70 million, which is covered 

by our existing liability estimates. To put this estimate in 

context it would account for less than 3% of the approximate 

$2.5 billion cost of the Canterbury Home Repair Programme 

to date. 

The level of remedial work for the Canterbury Home 

Repair Programme is well within industry norms for the 

national construction sector. 

EQC has prioritised first time repairs, although it has carried 

out urgent remedial work for vulnerable customers or where 

the work is needed to make a house safe, secure and/or 

sanitary. 

Now that EQC is down to the last of the first time repairs, 

focus has increased on resolving remedials. 

EQC is confident it has the processes and teams in place to 

address the issues. EQC has been expanding the remedial 

team since September 2015 and more staff are being added 

as first time repairs near completion. 

EQC does not have a projected date to stop receiving 

remedial requests but will continue working with customers 

until their claims are resolved. 

One of the reasons for starting the Canterbury Home Repair 

Programme was to ensure customers would have the 

assurance that any issues with their earthquake repairs 

would be addressed. 

Currently around 100 remedial requests are being received 

a week. 

Customers can follow the progress of their 

claim through a series of EQC letters with a tick 

diagram. Each new tick means the customer 

is closer to receiving their settlement. 

Processing 

starts for 

Feb 2016 

quakes 

EQC aims to complete assessments 

more quickly for the February 2016 

Canterbury earthquake claims using 

customer-provided information for 

desk-based assessments. 

Onsite assessment visits to customers’ 

properties will be the exception for cases 

where there is extensive damage, claims 

are complex or individual circumstances 

require it. EQC claim managers have 

been calling customers to get 

information and documents – such as 

specific damage measurements and 

photos – before deciding whether a 

phone or on-site assessment works best. 

Claims processing is well underway 

with over 685 claims paid so far out of 

the total 13,134 received. Priority is 

given to vulnerable customers, followed 

by claims in the order in which they 

were lodged. 

“Customers who have had their claims 

settled so far have told us that the new 

approach is working better for them. 

Before starting to settle claims, EQC 

proactively talked with customers about 

different ways of doing things, using 

their feedback to design our approach 

for this event,” says EQC Manager of 

the February 2016 Event, Jayne Lapin. 

“Most of the damage suffered is 

cosmetic, so EQC won’t manage a repair 

programme this time but, customers 

who need assistance to organise repairs, 

can contact our Community Contact 

Team in Christchurch. The team has 

strong links with support agencies who 

can help. Call EQC on 0800 DAMAGE 

(0800 326 243) to book an appointment 

with the Community Contact Team, if 

support is needed. 

“For customers whose 2010/2011 

Canterbury earthquake claims are still 

open, EQC aims to resolve their February 

2016 claim together with their 

2010/2011 claims. We want to make 

sure all outstanding issues for their 

properties are on track for resolution by 

the end of 2016,” Ms Lapin says. 

At this stage, EQC expects to resolve 

the majority of February 2016 

earthquake claims by the end of 

December 2016.

SUMNER SCHOOL pupils got a 

taste of what it’s like for overseas 

refugees at the weekend, raising 

nearly $3000 in the process. 

About 60 pupils and parents 

took part in a fundraising walk 

on Saturday, as part of the World 

Vision 40-hour for refugee children 

backpack challenge. 

The group walked from St 

Martins New World to Sumner 

School, collecting money along 

the way. 

New Zealand actress Kimberley 

Crossman, Shortland Street actor 

Jayden Daniels, World Vision 

New Zealand chief executive 

Chris Clarke and World Vision 

representatives Harley Hamilton 

and Simon Day joined in on the 

walk from Redcliffs New World. 

Mr Clarke spoke to the pupils 

HAPPY: Organiser Jenny 

Cunningham and her son 

Calum Barrie taking part in the

about the size of refugee camps 

and what they’re like. He said the 

money would go towards building 

a school for Syrian refugee 

children in Jordan. 

Following the walk, a refugee 

dinner was held at the school hall. 

About 20 pupils and parents had 

a sleep-over in the hall that night. 

The pupils stopped at The Tannery, 

Woolston village, the shops 

in Ferrymead and Redcliffs New 

World to get donations, raising 

about $600. 

An online donations page has 

gathered $2700 so far, and will 

remain open for donations until 

July.

HEALTH HELP: Ferrymead Rotary has helped Bromley 

School pupils to become healthy heroes. The club gave 

pupils juggling balls so they could complete the first three 

weeks of the Rotary Healthy Heroes challenge. Each day 

for nine weeks, the pupils had to do at least 30 minutes of 

exercise, eat five or more vegetables a day and get 8-10 

hours sleep each night. Pupils say the most challenging 

aspect was getting the right amount of sleep. Barbara Crooks, 

of Ferrymead Rotary, said it was a delight to see the children 

involved in the programme.

Your Local Views 

CONCERN: The wharf at Ripapa Island was 

damaged by the earthquakes. 

Underfunding 

of heritage sites 

Green MP 

Eugenie Sage 

says we can’t 

afford to lose 

any more of 

our heritage 

CONGRATULATIONS TO 

the recent winners of the 2016 

Canterbury Heritage Awards, 

which recognise outstanding 

work in conserving and 

retaining distinctive buildings 

and creating future heritage. 

It was good to see the 

voluntary commitment of 

heritage advocates such as 

Ross Gray and Lynn Lochead 

recognised with the Heritage 

Tourism Award going to Shop 7 

in the central city. 

Shop 7 has told the stories of 

the more than 250 significant 

heritage buildings we have lost 

in the central city and beyond 

as a result of the earthquakes 

and the CERA’s zeal to authorise 

demolition. 

More than five years after the 

earthquakes it’s disappointing 

that two significant heritage 

sites, Ripapa Island and Godley 

Head tracks and batteries remain 

closed by the Department 

of Conservation. Ripapa Island 

in Whakaraupo/Lyttelton Harbour 

was originally the site of a 

significant Ngāi Tahu pa, it has 

been a quarantine station, and 

was used to imprison members 

of the Parihaka settlement in 

Taranaki who resisted the surveying 

and selling of their land. 

During World War 1, Fort 

Jervois was built on Ripapa as 

part of a nationwide coastal 

defence network to protect 

Lyttelton Harbour. Ripapa has 

many stories to tell but with the 

wharf severely damaged by the 

earthquakes there is no access to 

the island. 

The lack of any progress in 

repairing the heritage structures 

at Ripapa and re-opening the island 

to the public is yet another 

example of the severe underfunding 

of DOC by the current 

government. Since coming to 

power in 2009 the National Government 

has spent $379 million 

less in real terms over the last 

eight years. 

That has major impacts not 

just for built heritage but also 

our natural heritage, including a 

raft of threatened species. Since 

2009, 142 species have been 

classified as closer to extinction, 

including the kea, flesh-footed 

shearwater and the wandering 

albatross. 

Part of DOC’s work is to retain 

New Zealand’s historic heritage. 

Clearly in Canterbury, where 

we have lost so much heritage. 

DOC’s underfunding means we 

may lose even more. 

Community work important 

• By Mary Jamieson, secretary of 

the Lions Club of Lyttelton 

HELLO AGAIN. It is a bright 

sunny day as I write this but it is 

not exactly warm. 

As I am enjoying being cosy in 

my cottage I do spare a thought 

for those sleeping in cars and 

caravans. Hopefully, the city 

council will find a solution for 

this problem. 

The Lions Club of Lyttelton 

ran a publicity campaign on Saturday 

morning at the Lyttelton 

Markets. We met a lot of lovely 

people and told them about 

the work we do in the community 

and have a prospective new 

member! 

On Wednesdays I help out at 

the Kidsfirst Kindergarten in 

A reader responds to Green 

MP Eugenie Sage’s May 6 

column calling for Lyttelton 

Port of Christchurch to 

turn its no. 4 wharf into a 

community space 

Carolyn Nicol, Diamond Harbour 

– I was pleased to see Eugenie 

Sage’s article about how the 

Lyttelton Port of Christchurch 

has had a huge advantage from 

the Christchurch earthquakes 

in being able to get large areas of 

land reclaimed without following 

the usual due process that allows 

for public input. 

My understanding is that they 

were also able to get the ferry terminal 

shift forced through under 

the special powers given to Gerry 

Brownlee, even though the people 

reviewing the Lyttelton Port 

Recovery Plan recommended 

the shifting of the ferry was not 

required to be handled under the 

port recovery process. 

As a Diamond Harbour 

resident, when this shift does 

happen, it will be a sad loss of the 

ability to make quick one-hour 

trips to Lyttelton to get supplies. 

And for longer visits to Lyttelton, 

the loss on a further 20-30min 

travelling time will make the 

trip less appealing. It appears the 

small business owners of Lyttelton 

have not been able to have 

Winchester St. From 12.30pm 

to 2.30pm there is a drop-in 

playgroup for mums with babies 

and toddlers. 

This is a great opportunity for 

mums new to Lyttelton to meet 

other mums and their babies. It 

is also a good way to meet Cathy, 

Lisa and Kym who run Kidsfirst 

their say in this process either. 

I too want the port company 

to run a profitable business, 

but I also want it to have some 

sympathy for the community it is 

part of. 

Bay Harbour News asked 

its readers what changes 

they would like made to the 

St Andrews Hill and Bridle 

Path Rds intersection: 

Maxwell Joines, Mt Pleasant – 

I travel down through this intersection 

from Major Hornbrook 

Rd every day, sometimes twice as 

I am retired. But I’m doing some 

casual and voluntary work so my 

times are variable throughout the 

day and night. 

I do not find it very difficult but 

would like to see a speed bump 

installed and a sign “slow down” 

on Ferrymead Tce about at the 

bend which I think about 50m 

before the intersection. I 

believe this would make it 

safer as the traffic coming from 

Heathcote Valley approaches 

at great speeds causing vehicles 

crossing from St Andrews Hill 

Rd to brake on the lane going 

up Ferrymead Tce, opening up a 

potential dangerous situation for 

a collision. 

Worth consideration as a much 

cheaper option? 

and find out about the help they 

can give you. 

Also Zumba Gold has started 

in Lyttelton at the lovely refurbished 

Recreation Centre 

in Winchester St. It runs on a 

Friday from 11.30am to 12.30pm 

and I can tell you it is a lot of fun 

and another way to get to know 

people in the Lyttelton and bay 

area. 

The street party for the Festival 

of Lights is on Friday. Please pop 

a gold coin in the buckets being 

held on the night by Lions, Rotary 

and the Community Youth 

Centre people. Your donation 

will go towards the purchase of a 

community van in Lyttelton for 

use by all the community. 

Plenty of activities to keep us 

warm. 

Bay Harbour News asked its 

readers what they thought 

of Kidsfirst Kindergarten 

rebuilding in Mt Pleasant 

after some residents complained 

it would block their 

estuary view, and would 

make McCormacks Bay Rd 

busier. 

Annette Rotherham, of Mt 

Pleasant – In regards to the 

rebuild of Mt Pleasant kindergarten. 

A huge number of families 

support this rebuild which is essentially 

the same place it was for 

over 25 years pre-2011. 

This kindergarten has nurtured 

our tamariki and provided an 

amazing start in life. My children 

have their fondest childhood 

memories and firm friendships 

from their time at this remarkable 

kindergarten. 

The dedication of the staff to 

endure a temporary location for 

the past five and a half years is 

testimony to their commitment 

to see this kindergarten rebuilt in 

its original location. 

The residents who have concerns 

about their views need to 

remember that they only have the 

view due to demolition. 

If this argument was used for 

the city’s rebuild we would get 

nowhere.

Our People 

Keeping the community entertained 

Heathcote Valley resident Harley Williams 

entertains people at his lounge nights at The 

Tannery. Bridget Rutherford spoke to him about 

his musical background, creating music videos 

and television commercials for work, and 

where the lounge night idea came from 

Can you tell me a wee bit 

about yourself? 

Well I live in Heathcote, and 

for a crust I am part-owner 

of a business called Ruffell 

Productions. We create television 

commercials, music videos and 

promotion videos. We have our 

office here at The Tannery, not 

far from where I have lounge 

nights. We’ve owned that now 

for a good four years. I’ve been 

working as a video editor for 

about 12 years now. I’m what you 

call a part-time musician. I used 

to be in a band The Tiny Lies, 

mostly when I lived in Lyttelton. 

Can you tell me about The 

Tiny Lies? 

We made a couple of albums 

and toured the nation a while 

back and I’ve been playing in 

bands throughout my life. The 

Tiny Lies finished about mid- 

2014 or15. We were an old folk 

duo, myself and Charlotte Ivey 

who is an exceptional singer. We 

were two friends who randomly 

met online and saw what we 

could come up with. Lyttelton 

Records was the label we 

recorded with. 

So now you’re doing lounge 

nights at Blue Smoke at The 

Tannery, how did that begin? 

I’d always remembered back 

when I was a student living 

near the Provincial Hotel on 

Cashel St. It’s not there anymore, 

but they used to hold a lounge 

night. Students came out of the 

woodwork and it was a really 

fun night out. About four years 

ago I contacted an old friend 

and asked if he would become 

a lounge night DJ with me. The 

only guidelines were to dress 

up like a swinger from the 50s 

and 60s and play old retro visual 

clips. We made martinis on stage 

and dressed the stage up with pot 

plants and things we could find 

that might have come from that 

era and played live percussion. 

Myself and Tim Ferguson both 

know enough to keep a beat. We 

wanted to make it a bit more 

interesting. It’s been really fun 

for me. 

And how long have you been 

doing them for? 

I’ve been doing them regularly 

at Blue Smoke for about three 

months, but on and off for a 

couple of years. We would do a 

lot more but my DJ partner just 

recently had a baby so have had 

to put it on hold for a little bit. 

My kids are a bit older now and I 

live about 2km from Blue Smoke 

so it’s a bit easier for me. 

And you mentioned you used 

to go along to lounge nights 

when you were a student. What 

were you doing back then? 

At one point I was in a punk 

rock band and then I think was 

studying a jazz course at Hagley 

and graphic design. 

What sort of work does 

Ruffells Production carry out? 

Is it more national, or local? 

Well we go through waves of it 

really. We’re doing a lot of work 

for a company in Wellington 

and we’ve done some work for 

Deloitte in Auckland. Then we 

also get local one man band 

businesses coming in from say 

Cashmere. It’s a real range of 

different things and different 

budgets. 

And Ruffells did the MyTax

Production, which makes television commercials, music videos 

and promotion videos. 

advertisements, with the wellknown 

slogan ‘Money on your 

Mind?’ Did you guys come up 

with that? 

Yes, my business partner and 

managing director Tim McInnes 

conceived the slogan “Money 

on your mind?” as part of the 

creative development of the 

commercials. 

What is your favourite work? 

Well I can answer this easily. It’s 

music videos for me. It makes 

sense. Music is my passion, 

when I get to interpret a song 

visually as well as orally it’s 

really rewarding to come up 

with something that’s interesting 

to watch. It’s hand’s down my 

favourite. 

How do you come up with 

music videos? 

It’s always slightly different. 

Sometimes we get an artist come 

in and they say do what you 

want, which can be awesome, 

but then it can make it difficult 

because it doesn’t narrow the

brief but it can give you great 

freedom. Some go I want it to 

look like this, and we go sweet. 

The best would be if someone 

came in with a little bit of an idea 

of what they want, but they say 

you guys can embellish it. 

And you used to live in 

Lyttelton? 

I did live in Lyttelton. I moved 

out about three months before 

the September earthquake 

in 2010. I still really like 

Lyttelton and don’t want to live 

too far away from there. My 

social life links are over there as 

well because I have family and 

friends there. I think Lyttelton is 

a great community, I just wish it 

had a lot more sun. 

Lyttelton has such a good 

reputation on the music 

scene, with the likes of Marlon 

Williams. What do you think it 

is about Lyttelton that inspires 

musicians? 

I have thought about this and 

I can’t come up with any reason. 

It’s just one of those things and 

it probably happens once every 

20-30 years. They were all living 

in the same place at the same 

time and into the same thing and 

collaborated easily. It just totally 

randomly happens. 

Can you tell me a bit about 

your kids? 

They are six and nine. At 

the moment my son River, is 

really into soccer, as I was, and 

my daughter Ella is really into 

singing. They got all the good 

looks from their mum really 

(laughs). 

And when you’re not working 

or entertaining, what do you 

like doing? 

I still play indoor soccer and 

try and get as much exercise 

as possible. But I mostly listen 

to music. If I could get paid to 

listen to music that would be 

my dream job! I wish I went to 

a chess club or was part of some 

medieval club – but I’m not.

Postal and banking 

services now 

offered in Ferrymead 

Residents from Woolston through to 

Sumner now have the benefit of local NZ 

Post and Kiwibank services seven days a 

week, thanks to Take 

Note in Ferrymead. 

The popular book and stationery store 

has taken on the franchise for the postal 

and banking services, with the new 

franchise operation, Take Note Ferrymead 

PostShop and Kiwibank, open for business 

as of May 19. 

“Being open seven days a week means 

we’ll be available when people need us,” 

says PostShop manager Carrie. 

“By opening at the weekend we’re 

catering to working people who can’t 

get to the bank or Post Office during the 

week.” 

Carrie brings 11 years’ experience 

managing PostShops to her new 

Ferrymead role, while her two assistants, 

Kim and Sharmaine, are also experienced 

PostShop staff. 

Take Note owners Barry and Kerry 

moved their business from neighbouring 

premises into the former Video Ezy site 

several months ago in preparation for 

setting up the NZ Post and Kiwibank 

franchise, as they were keen to provide 

an even wider range of services for their 

customers. 

PostShop facilities include bill paying 

for telco companies, power companies 

and The Press, vehicle registration and 

diesel miles. Kiwibank customers can 

set up bank accounts, automatic bill 

payments and deposit and withdraw cash, 

while those wanting to enquire about 

obtaining a Kiwibank mortgage can have 

an appointment arranged with a mobile 

mortgage manager at a time to suit. 

Since establishing Take Note Ferrymead 

(formerly Paper Plus Ferrymead) 14 years 

ago, 

Barry and Kerry have built up a strong 

and loyal customer base from across the 

Bay Harbour News readership area by 

offering friendly service and an extensive 

selection of books, magazines, stationery, 

toys, gifts, greeting cards and wrapping 

paper. 

The wide range of book titles includes 

travel books, recipe books, novels 

and children’s books. Home and once 

stationery supplies include everything 

from printing paper and ink cartridges 

to notepads and exercise books, filing 

systems and paper clips. 

Customers can browse through an 

attractive range of gift items, including 

locally manufactured items, or 

alternatively there are gift cards and 

Prezzy Cards in a range of values. 

Ferrymead is one of the city’s fastestgrowing 

retail and business areas, and

other business outlets including hardware, 

supermarket, cafes and professional 

services. There is extensive off-street

Cool weather – big waves 

• By Aaron Lock, surf coach, 

Sumner 

The weather has definitely 

changed a lot in the last four 

weeks, with rain, wind and snow, 

along with some frosty clear days 

as well. The cooler weather has 

also brought some epic waves. 

The biggest swell since Cyclone 

Pam rolled through mid-May and 

produced over a week of great 

surf. All the local beaches were 

firing at various times throughout 

the week. Since then, there has 

been some great south swells up 

the coast and a few fun days on 

the city beaches, too. The water 

is chilling down to about 11 deg 

C, but it hasn’t stopped people 

getting out there with some days 

in the water as busy as summer. 

The Whale Watch Kaikoura 

Coldwater Surf Classic scored 

perfect conditions over Queen’s 

Birthday weekend. Three days 

straight of clear frosty weather 

and perfect 1.2m to 1.8m surf at 

the meatworks break. 

Local surfers 

performed well 

against a field of 

New Zealand’s 

best. The competition 

attracted more 

than 120 entries 

from throughout 

the country. 

Rodney Somogyvari (Sumner) 

impressed the judges with his 

smooth but radical turns to place 

fourth in the classic open. 

Harrison Whiteside (Redcliffs) 

blitzed the field in the junior final 

to win, and then placed second 

the Kaikoura junior final. Alan 

Temoananui (Redcliffs) was 

in good form, his style suiting 

the powerful waves to win the 

seniors, second in the long-board 

and third in the masters. 

Lucy Temoananui (Redcliffs) 

was third in the senior women’s 

and fourth in the open women’s. 

Neill Robb was fourth in the 

masters. 

The Kaikoura event was the

final competition of the South 

Island surfing circuit for the year. 

Local board-riders’ club, the 

Point Surf team finished third 

overall. Harrison Whiteside won 

the junior circuit. Ben Rees was 

second in the seniors. Neill Robb 

was second in the grand masters. 

Lucy Temoananui was third on 

the open women’s circuit. Mike 

Willman was third on the longboarding 

circuit. 

So, as we head into the worst of 

winter, frosty wetsuits, ice cream 

headaches and numb toes, at least 

the good waves should keep on 

pumping through to make it all 

worth while.

Food 

Motivated by great taste 

• By Gabrielle Stuart 

SIMO ABBARI lost each of 

his three businesses in the 

earthquakes – a cooking school 

and two restaurants. 

“I lost the first one, and I 

thought, oh well. Then I lost 

Cashel St, and I thought, ok, I can 

still go on. Then I lost the third. 

One, two, three, from hero to 

zero,” he said. 

He said he thought about leaving 

the city at that point. 

“You wake up in the morning 

with no income, with nine 

people working for you, chasing 

after insurance companies. But I 

thought, we built it once, we can 

build it again. 

“I didn’t pack my suitcase, because 

I thought look at what they 

have given you, shame on you if 

you leave at the time when they 

need you.” 

He was already familiar with 

starting from nothing. 

He was brought up in Morocco, 

and worked his way up through 

kitchens across the world, from 

restaurants in Africa to Yugoslavia, 

doing everything from 

working in cargo ship kitchens to 

creating airline menus. 

By the time he moved to New 

Zealand in 1994, he had more 

than a decade of experience as 

a chef and in management but, 

once again, he found he had to 

start from the bottom. 

“As an immigrant it doesn’t 

matter about your experience, 

you start from zero. It was hard 

as a foreigner, because you have 

to work twice as hard to prove 

yourself.” 

He entered a culinary competition 

the year after he arrived, and 

finished second to last. 

“But I realised the food was not

EXPERIENCE: 

Although 

Simo Abbari 

lost his three 

businesses 

in the 

earthquakes, 

he said his 

experiences as 

an immigrant 

learning to 

adapt and 

start from the 

bottom helped 

him get back 

on his feet.

GEOFF SLOAN 

the problem, it was the presentation. 

The other 12 candidates had 

all cooked the same food, and 

presented it the same way. Back 

home the taste was everything, 

it didn’t matter if it was plated in 

gold.” 

The next year he entered again, 

and came first. “You start learning 

to adapt,” he said. 

He said the willingness of New 

Zealanders to try different foods 

was something he loved. 

“It’s what makes New Zealand 

cuisine special, it belongs to everyone. 

In New Zealand, you go 

to the supermarket and there are 

special items and all kinds of food 

on the shelves.” 

In 2002, he opened his first 

Moroccan restaurant. 

“It was my way of saying thank 

you to the community. But I 

realised I had just stabbed myself 

in the head by having a business. 

Work for 16 hours a day became 

24 hours a day.” 

But, in spite of the long hours, 

he said the restaurant was a huge 

success, and was named Outstanding 

South Island Restaurant 

of the Year in 2004. 

Losing it was a big blow, but he 

worked his way back, opening 

Mosaic by Simo’s in Addington, 

launching his Simo’s line of bottled 

zest and marinades, teaching 

classes, and last year starting in 

his role as Continental executive 

chef. 

The role means he is responsible 

for all the Continental menus, 

from Maddison’s Restaurant at 

the Heritage Christchurch Hotel, 

to the tram and gondola restaurants, 

to the ALFF – Allergy Free 

Foods. 

That meant he spent more time 

managing and problem solving 

than he did as a chef, although he 

still regularly cooked at the Maddison’s 

Dine with Simo evenings 

and taught classes. 

He met his wife at the classes, 

who he said was also incredibly 

passionate about food. 

“I had never seen anyone with 

more cook books than me, until I 

met my wife,” he said. 

“I’m not allowed in the kitchen 

at home, because she doesn’t 

like me to criticise. But I am so 

fortunate, because my wife is an 

amazing cook. My table is always 

full of the best kind of food.” 

He wanted to see more emphasis 

on service in Christchurch 

restaurants, and hoped the trend 

toward natural and local food 

would grow. 

“We need to think differently, 

and eat real food, not food which 

is frozen and full of chemicals. 

We used to have many local 

butchers, but now they are nearly 

all gone.” 

He said serving great food and 

inspiring people to create their 

own was what motivated him. 

“I feel this is a responsibility, I 

don’t see it as a job. We wake up 

every morning and say how can 

we share and make people feel 

special, even in this broken city.”

Fortuner boosts Toyota’s SUV range 

• By Ross Kiddie 

THERE’S NO shortage of sport 

utility vehicles in the Toyota 

stable. 

However, what Toyota New 

Zealand do very well is plug gaps 

and it has vehicles to suit every 

budget and purpose. 

Recently, Toyota launched a 

newcomer to its line-up – the 

Fortuner. It is a large, seven-seat, 

sport utility vehicle which sits 

alongside the Highlander and the 

Land Cruiser series for buyers 

who just can’t step up to Prado or 

who don’t want the petrol-fuelled 

Highlander. 

The Fortuner is a diesel-powered 

model only, it is the newgeneration 

engine which sits in 

Prado and Hilux, and there are 

many other similarities to Hilux 

as well, the Fortuner sits on the 

chassis and underpinnings which 

has made Hilux so successful as a 

light commercial ute. 

That concept isn’t new in SUV 

manufacture – Ford’s Everest 

utilises the Ranger platform, and 

Holden’s Colorado7 is an extension 

of the Colorado ute. 

However, there is one significant 

difference between the 

Fortuner’s suspension and that 

of the Hilux, while both have a 

live rear axle, the Fortuner has 

coil springs as opposed to a leaf 

TOYOTA FORTUNER: Capable off-road. 

spring set-up which is common 

practice with this type of SUV. 

Elsewhere, the Fortuner doesn’t 

rely heavily on the appeal of 

Hilux. Yes, the doors and bonnet 

are the same, but the Fortuner 

has styling cues less aggressive 

and more akin to what you would 

find in a family station wagon. I 

really like the shape of Fortuner, 

it is classy and curvy, disguising 

well its relationship to Hilux. 

The Fortuner lands here in 

three grades. The entry-level GX 

model lands at $70,990 and is 

a manual gearbox model, automatic 

transmission on GX adds 

$2000. The test car was the GXL 

automatic at $75,990, while a 

Limited sits at $78,990. 

Each is equipped well for its 

• Price – Toyota Fortuner, 

$75,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4795mm; width, 1855mm; 

height, 1835mm 

• Configuration: Fourcylinder, 

four-wheel-drive, 

2755cc, 130kW, 450Nm, 

six-speed automatic. 

• Performance – 0-100km/h, 

12.8sec 

• Fuel usage – 8.6l/100km 

price, the test car boasted satellite 

navigation, paddle-shift gear 

selectors, powered tailgate, nice 

wood and leather steering wheel, 

cruise control, and reversing 

camera. 

As mentioned, the Fortuner 

gets Toyota’s new-generation 

2.8-litre, four-cylinder diesel 

engine. It is a stunner in terms 

of refinement and mechanical 

ability, it pumps out a beefy 

130kW and 450Nm while 

capable of returning a 8.6l/100km 

(33mpg) combined cycle fuel 

usage average. 

During my time with the test 

car the trip computer was constantly 

sitting around 10l/100km 

(28mpg) with 8l/100km 

(35mpg) listing instantaneously 

at 100km/h (engine speed 

1800rpm). 

The engine responds willingly 

to throttle pressure and works 

smoothly under pressure. That’s 

something I’ve commented on 

every time I’ve experienced the 

new engine, it has refinement 

uncharacteristic for a big four-pot 

diesel. 

Power is harnessed gently 

through a six-speed automatic; 

the gearbox is also reasonably 

new for Toyota, well it’s certainly 

new for Hilux, and Fortuner gets 

the benefit of the low and close 

ratios, immediate acceleration is 

forceful, while the ratios broaden 

to provide the lethargy for open 

road cruising. Bearing in mind 

that Fortuner is aimed at families 

who will want to drive long 

distances on the open road, fuel 

economy is an important ingredient 

of that. 

Yet, the Fortuner is also the 

capable off-road charger. Its fourwheel-drive 

system is engineered 

for rough conditions, it can 

most certainly be described as a 

serious off-roader. It has ground 

clearance of a healthy 279mm, 

and the driveline has a low ratio 

transfer case so that slow speed 

momentum can be initiated for 

when obstacles are presented. 

I took the test car on a piece 

of dirt that encompassed several 

mounds and descents, I can report 

it has suspension which absorbs 

the rough stuff, providing the 

occupants with a well-cushioned 

ride in those conditions. 

As well as the Fortuner is 

engineered for life off-road, it is 

still the easy-to-drive city slicker. 

Sure, at 4.8m there is a lot of 

vehicle to get into a metered 

car park, but it has adequate 

manoeuvrability considering its 

size, and good visibility. 

As an organisation, Toyota 

isn’t shy about introducing vehicles 

for an intended audience. 

The Fortuner fits into the vast 

model line-up perfectly, and will 

be joined in other models soon 

which will expand the SUV market 

even further. 

The Fortuner is there for those 

who understand the ability of 

Hilux yet need something just a 

little more family-friendly.
