Safety fence feedback sought
• By Bridget Rutherford
RESIDENTS SAY new safety
fencing to keep people out of
hazardous areas in parts of
Sumner and Redcliffs would be
too high and ugly.
The city council wants to
install 2m high safety fences
along the cliff sides of Main Rd
at Moa Bone Point, Shag Rock
Reserve and Wakefield Ave, from
Nayland to Paisley Sts.
It is looking at two different
options for the fences – mesh
fencing, or a pool-style fence.
But residents say 2m is too tall,
and want them lowered to 1.2m.
Sumner Community
Residents’ Association member
Darrell Latham said residents
believed a 2m mesh fence along
Main Rd at Shag Rock Reserve
was “totally inappropriate”.
“Our feeling is that a 1.2m
fence along the Shag Rock
Reserve section would be less
visually intrusive and our
preference is for one which is not
of mesh construction.”
He said residents believed 1.2m
high fences would be sufficient.
“Also from our perspective due
to the proximity to, and visibility
from the Coastal Pathway, it is
very important that the fence
or barrier be aesthetically
pleasing and in keeping with
the character and cultural
importance of the area.”
The city council says it is its
responsibility to make sure the
fencing is safe, and it wanted
residents’ feedback on what
option they preferred.
The fences could not be
easily climbed, and had to be
transparent.
Redcliffs Residents’
Association secretary Pat
McIntosh said a 2m high fence
“seems excessive in relation to
the risk”.
Residents have until Monday
to make submissions on the two
options.
The feedback would be
analysed by the city council
project team, which would then
make a decision on what type
would be used.
HAVE YOUR SAY: Do you
think new safety fences
to be installed on parts of
Main Rd and Wakefield Ave
will be too tall? Would you
prefer mesh or pool style
fencing? Email your views

New business premises opens
HOME: Casual and Country co-owner Jenny Turnbull says the store and its cafe, ten27, have
been busy since fully reopening.
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
• By Bridget Rutherford
AFTER FIVE years,
Ferrymead’s Casual and
Country and cafe ten27, is
fully operating out of its new
premises just in time for its 25th
birthday.
Owners Jenny and John Turnbull
set up the Ferry Rd homewares
store in August 1992.
The cafe was set up in 2002.
But when the February 22,
2011, earthquake struck, both
the cafe and store were forced
out of the building due to earthquake
damage.
The store began operating out
of the old Seventh Wave building
next to Ferrymead Bridge,
while Quake Cafe operated out
of a portacom on the original
site, and then the neighbouring
one.
Mrs Turnbull said the store
reopened in January, while
ten27 opened its doors last
month.
“Right from the first day we’ve
been completely slammed,” she
said. “It’s certainly a huge relief,
it’s everything we’ve hoped for
and more.”
She said it was always the plan
to rebuild on the original site.
“It has been enormously difficult
and enormously challenging
and not something you’re
choosing to do.”
But like other Christchurch
businesses, they had no choice,
she said.
They either left the site empty,
or they rebuilt on it.
“But it’s an opportunity to
build something which is different
then what we’ve had before
and in many ways better.”
The cafe and store now have
separate entrances, which
means the cafe can stay open
for dinners from Wednesday to
Sunday, she said.
The previous menu was
predominantly made up of
cabinet food, however, it now
had breakfast, lunch and dinner
food prepared in the kitchen.
In Brief
SUMNER FACILITY NAME
FAVOURITES
There are two frontrunner
names for Sumner’s new community
centre, library and
museum. City council acting
head of Libraries and Information
Pat Street said Tuawera:
Sumner Centre and Matuku
Takotako: Sumner Centre, were
the “frontrunners”. Because the
names had historic significance
within the area, the city council
would work with Mana Whenua
to gather a greater understanding
of the story behind them, she
said.
GUNSHOT CONCERN
Police were called to Flinders
Rd, Heathcote Valley, on Saturday
after receiving reports of
gunshots in the area. A police
spokeswoman said the call came
at about 7.20pm, with the shots
possibly coming from a park off
Bridle Path Rd. However, she
said that police did not locate
anything or anyone of concern
in the area.
NEW DEPUTY FOR BOARD
Alexandra Davids will be deputy
chairwoman of the Hagley-Ferrymead
Community Board until
October’s local body elections.
Ms Davids will replace former
deputy Islay McLeod, who has
left her role on the board to
move back to Dunedin.

Village green on the move Plans for museum
now funded
SUMNER RESIDENTS have
found a new temporary home
for their village green and skate
ramp.
They will move to the former
Ruptured Duck Pizzeria and
Bar site until a more permanent
solution can be found.
A working bee will be held
on Saturday to help move the
ramp and other items from the
green to their new Wakefield
Ave home.
The village green was set up
after the former Sumner Community
Centre, on the corner of
Wakefield Ave and Nayland St,
was demolished due to earthquake
damage.
The city council will begin rebuilding
the facility, which will
include a community centre,
library and museum, on the site
next month.
Residents have been working
with the city council and Land
Information New Zealand to try
and secure part of the former
Marine Tavern site for a village
green.
Sumner Community Residents’
Association community
development and events manager
Liz Kerslake said it was
great to have found a temporary
home.
NEW HOME: Sumner residents mark out where the skate
ramp will go at its new temporary home on Wakefield Ave.
“The village green is the heart
of the community. It’s a great
bumping space.”
She said residents were very
supportive of trying to secure
part of the Marine Tavern site
for permanent use, but this was
a temporary fix.
Coffee Culture manager Jenny
Krex said the ramp brought life
back into the village.
“I just love seeing so many
people enjoying the centre of
the village as it gives the opportunity
for the old and young
– and all those in between – to
interact. It brings life back to the
village”.
A final skate night, with
fish ’n’ chips and hot chocolate
will be held at the current
village green tomorrow from
5.30pm, before it moves on the
weekend.

AKAROA MUSEUM now has
the money it needs to complete
the refurbishment and fit-out of
its exhibition spaces.
The Rue Lavaud museum
was closed in June 2012 after a
post-earthquake engineering
investigation revealed issues
with the structural strength of
the building.
But a year later, part of the
building was allowed to re-open.
Since then the museum, which
attracts about 25,000 visitors a
year, has had to make do with 30
sq m of exhibition space.
The limited space meant it
could only display a fraction of
its collection, which includes
about 20,000 objects relating to
the history of Akaroa and Banks
Peninsula.
Repairs have now been
completed, and the city council
has allocated $250,000 to the
museum to fit-out the remaining
270 sq m of exhibition space.
Akaroa Museum director
Lynda Wallace said the money
meant the museum could finally
implement the design plans it
had for its three large galleries.
“It means we will be able to
showcase more of the wonderful

can now fit-out its exhibition
space after a $250,000 grant
from the city council.
objects we have and tell more
stories about Akaroa and Banks
Peninsula’s history,’’ Ms Wallace
said.
“We’re really looking forward
to sharing more of the collection
with visitors and our community.’’
Ms Wallace said the fit-out of
the exhibition spaces would be
done progressively over the next
year with the aim of having all
the work completed by this time
next year.
Akaroa-Wairewa Community
Board chairwoman Pam Richardson
said it was fantastic news
and would come as a big relief to
the community.

Bid to improve tunnel air
New monitoring
equipment
being installed
• By Bridget Rutherford
LYTTELTON TUNNEL is
having new equipment installed
to monitor air quality, after
more trucks began using it
following the earthquakes.
New Zealand Transport
Agency maintenance contract
manager Barry Stratton said the
current air monitoring equipment
only monitored carbon
monoxide levels.
The new equipment would
also monitor nitrogen dioxide
levels in the tunnel, he said.
It comes after concerns were
raised about more trucks having
to use the tunnel following the
February 2011 earthquake because
of the closure of Sumner
Rd.
“This was more generated
from the dust/ particulate in the
tunnel as a result of all the extra
truckloads of demolition material
since the earthquakes. The
purpose of the new equipment
is to improve the monitoring

within the tunnel as part of our
national guidelines for transport
agency-managed tunnels,” Mr
Stratton said.
Cleaning the tunnel has had
to increase from once a month,
to three times a week, following
the quakes, he said.
It has also led to the Lyttelton
Tunnel Bylaw changing, which
will make it mandatory for all
trucks with loose bulk loads to
be covered.
It is expected to come into
force this month.
The work has meant the
tunnel has been restricted to
one lane, between 9pm and
6am for four days last week, and
continues to be restricted until
Friday.
Other work had included
replacing the centre line studs,
and cleaning and replacing tunnel
lights.
Environment Canterbury has
been monitoring air quality
through a station on the corner
of Norwich Quay and Canterbury
St since January.
Mr Stratton said ECan was
interested to see the NZTA’s
results.

School’s long wait over
Redcliffs
School
principal
Rose
McInerney
talks
about how
it felt to
hear Education Minister
Hekia Parata announce
the school would remain
open
It’s quite hard to explain the
feelings of an interminable
wait that was finally coming to
an end.
The Redcliffs board of
trustees had now had quite a
few meetings with Minister
Hekia Parata to meaningfully
engage on the importance of
our school remaining open but
this was to be the mother of all
meetings.
So much preparation had
gone into what this day would
reveal and there was a strong
weight of responsibility in my
heart and I’m certain in the
hearts of those with me.
Half of the board – Kent
France, Mark Robberds, Steph
Grieve and I met at the airport
bright and early and ready to
go. We faced the very interested
media with our ongoing
positive approach to how well
we had problem solved the
Minister’s concerns and felt
hopeful for a change in decision
for the Redcliffs School
community. This issue had
now reached out to all New
Zealanders and we knew many
had a deep interest in what
Thursday’s result would be.
We travelled to Wellington
leaving our children in the
confident and professional
hands of our staff and the other
half of the board of trustees.
They carried on their school
day as normally as they possibly
could, while we boarded
our flight with the promise of
any news coming straight to
them the minute that we had
it. So much invested in this
process and so many people
willing us to have good news
for our community’s future.
On arrival in Wellington
we taxied to Parliament, had
a quick coffee, and again were
met by more media going in to
the Beehive.
We announced our arrival
at reception and sat down to
have our last chat about our
approach for the two potential
outcomes. So much time
had been given to this final
submission and it was truly
crunch time.
Before long we were welcomed
into the Minister’s
office with her large team of
advisers and we waited for
Minister Parata’s response
with baited breath.
While we had been banking
on a positive decision when it
actually came through there
were enormous hugs both in
Wellington and soon after in
Christchurch.
A united team of problem
solving, invested, tenacious,
determined individuals had
come together and saved our
Redcliffs School from closure.
A feeling I will never forget
and so proud to share in that
piece of very important history.

think moving Redcliffs
School to Barnett Park
would work? Email

Massive effort
pays off
Green MP
Eugenie
Sage says the
Redcliffs School
decision was
great news
Congratulations
to everyone in the
Redcliffs School community for the
sustained and successful advocacy
to keep Redcliffs School as a local
school. Standing up for what you
believe in helps create change in
politics.
Overturning Education Minister
Hekia Parata’s interim decision last
November that Redcliffs School
would close by the end of this year
has taken a massive effort. It has
involved inspired leadership from
the school board of trustees, a determined
effort by parents, energy
from students and creative engagement
with the media and the wider
community.
The Minister’s decision will
ensure that Redcliffs School, either
on the Main Rd site or another site
such as Barnett Park, remains the
hub of its community.
Elsewhere in education, the news
has been less welcome. In a surprise
Budget move, the Government decided
to freeze funding for schools’
operational grants.
This means there will be more
pressure on parents to “donate”
even more for their children’s education.
This puts quality education
under strain and erodes the right to
a free education.
Operational funding goes into
essentials such as heating, computers
for students, learning support,
property maintenance, and relief
teachers.
We need regular funding increases
to keep up with increased
costs. Between 2010 and 2014
parents forked out $791.3 million to
subsidise their children’s education
with donations.
Redcliffs School Fair is one of
the largest and most successful in
Christchurch in raising funds to
help students learn. Lower decile
schools will suffer the most, as
their ability to fundraise is more
constrained.
As well as protecting the right of
students to be able to attend their
local neighbourhood school, we
need to ensure that funding for
education keeps up with inflation.

Bay Harbour News asked its
readers what they thought of
Banks Peninsula Community
Board members being paid
half of what city board
members will be paid following
October’s elections
Jeremy Agar – I was on the
Lyttelton-Mt Herbert Community
Board in 2006 when we merged with
Christchurch and our pay was set at
a much lower level than that of our
colleagues in the city.
The then chair of the Remuneration
Authority, whose name I have forgotten,
deigned to meet us. Then, as now,
the word was that the decision was
based on a ‘formula’ to do with population,
but in spite of our repeated
attempts to get him to elaborate, he
was unable to advance a single rationale
in support of his ‘formula’. He did
not try to hide his boredom.
It needs to be remembered that the
Remuneration Authority used to be
known as the Higher Salaries Commission,
one of the designers of the
managerial culture which thinks that
town clerks and top executives need
to be paid ridiculously large sums.
They’re not keen on lower salaries,
which they associate with obsolete
notions like local democracy.
Prue Kennard – I just want to
add my voice to the plea for our
Banks Peninsula Community Board
members to receive exactly the same
remuneration as all the others regardless
of the population involved.
Their work is basically the same
and what’s more, their travel time
Proudly
supported by
must be much higher. It seems an insulting
and ridiculous move to reduce
their pay by this amount.
Charlotte Orr – Reading the local
body pay ‘ludicrous’ article, I totally
agree with the title. Even though I
grew up in Lyttelton, I am still anti
bias to contrary.
I strongly agree with the movement
that the Banks Peninsula Community
Board members should definitely
be paid the same as the city boards.
I can’t work out in my head how
smaller the Banks Peninsula area is
in comparison to Linwood-Central-
Heathcote.
But I can imagine it covers Lyttelton,
Diamond Harbour, Governors
Bay, Cass Bay and I’m sure to have
missed some.
However, I believe the Banks Peninsula
Community Board should get
paid parity with the city boards.
Port Hills Labour MP Ruth
Dyson responds to the
announcement that Redcliffs
School would remain open:
How fantastic is this news! I am
just so proud of the board, the staff,
the pupils and the community with
the way that they have professionally
and competently answered every
question to the Minister’s satisfaction.
I really look forward to this saga
closing and Redcliffs getting its
school back again. I understand that
the pupils were raising the classroom
roofs with their cheering! They deserve
to be happy and this news will
certainly make them happy!

OFFICER, LYTTELTON
I JUST spent a week at home
feeling sorry for myself with a
serious drop of man flu.
Having had the flu
injection a week previously,
you sometimes have to
wonder, however, my GP did
say it was bad luck, and not
the flu injection that was the
cause of my demise.
It’s funny though, we try
hard to look after ourselves
and get this injection to
prevent this, and take these
pills to prevent that, and we
still can get sick.
And, yes, some of you can
see where I am going with
this, the same applies to our
cars, boats, and motor-cycles,
no matter how well prepared
we are, sometimes things fail.
In my case, the solution
was easy, feel sorry for myself,
keep warm and hydrated and
sit the week out so I did not
infect the rest of Canterbury.
Yes, it was that bad believe
me, man flu is the worst.
However, if we are on the
water and in spite of our
Pirate’s Corner
best preparations we end up
breaking down. And while I
am generally talking about
powerboats, non-powered
vessels can also have issues.
THe first thing is before
going out make sure we
have our two forms of
communication, ideally a
VHF radio and cellphone,
going a step further, flares
and a torch, a personal
locater beacon. All are there
to ensure your safety.
Having broken down, and
ensuring that we are safe, if
you are on vessel that is 6m
or less then you will already
have your lifejacket on.
If you are on one that is
over 6m then the first thing
we need to do is put our
lifejackets on then we need
to assess how we are going to
get back to shore. If you are
close enough, then you may
be able to use your alternative
propulsion, be it the oars or
auxiliary motor.
If this is not possible, use
your cell phone to call one
of your boating mates or
the VHF radio and call for
assistance.
Hopefully, another boatie
will be nearby and they may
be able give you a tow. If you
are a coastguard member you
can call them and they will
assist for no charge.
THere may be a charge if
you are not a member. So
not only is it worthwhile
supporting the Coastguard,
for a small fee you have
something similar to the
Automobile Association.
Well worth considering.
THat’s it from me this week,
stay warm and safe.

Dangers of plastic bags highlighted
PEOPLE WHO went to
Lyttelton Farmers’ Market on
Saturday were reminded of the
dangers plastic bags have on
the environment.
Members of the Plastic Bag
Free Lyttelton group were at
the market with cloth bags,
information, and stickers to remind
people to be wary when
using plastic bags.
While it appeared lighthearted,
the message was
deadly serious, and illustrated
by a fish puppet with a plastic
bag stuck in its gullet.
Primary school pupils sung
anti-waste songs, and spot
prizes were donated by Waste
Matters, Lyttelton’s wastebusting
team.
Plastic Bag Free Lyttelton
co-ordinator Juliet Neill said
the number of responsible
shoppers using re-usable bags
was growing.
“Plastic Shopping Bag Free
Lyttelton has been going for a
year now, with its aim being
to eliminate plastic shopping
bags from the town. Since its
inception, the local branch of
the vege co-op has partially
converted to using cloth bags
and the local supermarket has
converted to a more biodegradable
form of bag.”
She said more people were
bringing their own cloth bags
to the market, and the group
would like all retailers to convert
to reusable bags.
“We’d love to see the whole
of Christchurch, and indeed
the whole of New Zealand,
convert to sustainable packaging,
but we believe that starting
small with Lyttelton is a great
beginning. Plastic in our
oceans and in our landfills is a
hideous problem, but we must
tackle the problem in a positive
manner and keep smiling.”

miniature schnauzers
and their owners went to
Barnett Park on Sunday
for their monthly stroll. The
group, Miniature Schnauzers
of Christchurch, organises
monthly walks in different dog
parks across the city. Its first
event was a mini schnauzer
picnic in November. Next
month’s walk will be held at
The Groynes.

WELL DONE: Heathcote Valley pupil Sophia Clark was presented with her Sir Peter Blake
Young Leader Award on Friday in front of her grand-mother Bev Martin (left), father Andy,
mother Sue and other grand-mother, Jackie Clark.
Young leader recognised
A HEATHCOTE Valley School
pupil has been recognised for
her leadership qualities.
Sophia Clark, 8, was presented
with a Sir Peter Blake Young
Leader Award on Friday.
The young leader awards, in
association with Westpac, acknowledge
young people whose
outstanding leadership uplifts
the school community.
The head girl got her award
for being caring, respectful,
positive, empathetic and hard
working.
She organised a fundraiser
for Vanuatu after it was hit by
Cyclone Pam.
Sophia also won the school’s
senior speech competition,
which was about Syrian refugees
and why we should be doing
more.
Sir Peter Blake Trust chief
executive Shelley Campbell said
Sir Peter showed that with great
leadership, extraordinary things
could be achieved.
“This award aims to nurture
and celebrate leadership in our
young people,” she said.
“The qualities these children
display – humility, humour,
inclusiveness, positivity and a
team approach – were all shown
by Sir Peter himself.”
Sophia would receive a prize
pack, certificate and Sir Peter
Blake Medal.
Each young leader was nominated
by either their class or a
teacher.
BILINGUAL: Amiria and Matakaea Tikao helped supermarket
customers celebrate Maori Language Week.
Pupils teach Te Reo
TWO SISTERS were the voices
behind a supermarket initiative
to celebrate Maori Language
Week.
Amiria Tikao, 12, and her
younger sister Matakaea, 9,
had their voices professionally
recorded in a sound studio to
help SuperValue and FreshChoice
customers better understand the
Maori language.
The sisters were recorded pronouncing
items such as apples,
mushrooms, fish, milk, meat,
kiwifruit and cheese, along with
many others.
Amiria said it was a fun project
to be involved with.
“It was really cool. It took about
45mins, so not very long . . . we
got most of the words first time,
which was good,” she said.
Local SuperValue and Fresh-
Choice supermarkets then put
posters up around their stores,
with a QR code that customers
could scan with their cell phone.
The code led to a website where
they could hear the two pupils
correctly pronounce the word.
Amiria said she had not yet
tested out the posters, but she
would think about going in later.
SuperValue and FreshChoice
brands manager Liz de Lange
said that when the campaign was
run last year, the QR codes were
used thousands of times.

Our People
Juliet Neill
Having fun with puppets but with
Juliet Neill is the co-ordinator of Plastic Bag Free Lyttelton, which aims to
raise awareness on the impacts the bags have on the environment. Bridget
Rutherford spoke to her about how it all began, moving to Lyttelton, and
being a puppeteer
CLEVER: Juliet Neill wrote and performed The Pirates of Corsair
Bay in 2012.
Juliet, Plastic Bag Free
Lyttelton has begun to take off,
can you fill me in on how it all
started and why?
It was about a year ago and
Denise Roche, a Green Party
politician, was spearheading a
campaign on Plastic Bag Free
New Zealand. She was going
around doing talks and organising
a petition and letters to
Parliament and that sort of thing.
I organised for her to come and
speak at Lyttelton Top Club and
we got a reasonably good turnout
and lots of enthusiasm. Is not a
Green Party initiative but that
was just what kicked it off.
So the group makes bags and
people can buy them to use for
their shopping?
Yes, we had them at the farmers’
market, and we just ask for koha
to cover our costs. They are all
made out of end of line fabrics,
so we don’t have to go out and
buy stuff, but there are costs of
running a campaign. SuperValue
helps us out. They have the bags
there all the time, and whatever
they make they just give back
to the campaign. They have also
converted to using biodegradable
bags, instead of using straight
plastic bags. We label the bags
and put information about the
campaign inside them. We’ve
also got the vege co-op partially
converted to cloth bags too.
And are a lot of people starting
to jump on board?
It’s just recently grown. It
started with a mad rush of
enthusiasm but when people
see what we’re doing they have
supported us.
I remember there was a Lyttelton
campaign to stop using coffee
cups because they were not
recyclable, did you have much to
do with that?
That was Waste Matters. We do
tie in with them, they are great.
It’s a small community so people
get involved.
Speaking of small communities,
when did you move to
Lyttelton?
I’ve been living here since 1995.
I was living in Christchurch and
I was looking for a place to live. I
didn’t mean to buy here, but I was
brought up on Otago Peninsula,
and it felt like home. Sea and hills
are very good for the soul.
What is it about Lyttelton that
you love?
It’s the community and the
scenery. It’s a good place living
on your own, you walk down the
street and bump into people you
know and have a conversation. It’s
the sort of place you can actually
get initiatives going off your own
bat. There’s more freedom.
And where on the Otago Peninsula
did you grow up?
Macandrew Bay. We came out
from Northern Ireland when I
was five. We had two years in
Christchurch and then lived
down there from when I was
seven-years-old. My father had
been in the army, and there was
a family business in Dunedin
which was ailing, and he moved
from the army to do that.

environmental issues in mind
How does Dunedin stack up
against Lyttelton?
I love Dunedin, through
circumstances I ended up in
Christchurch. I would have
moved back to Dunedin after the
earthquakes if it weren’t for my
lovely friends and my daughter.
It’s those long term connections
that make the difference.
And I hear you were a teacher,
what did you teach?
I was a teacher of drama, but I
finished that in early 2000s. I’m
also a puppeteer. I still perform
as a puppeteer, and until recently
I wrote murder mystery parties.
I’m just finding more time now
to do my own creative thing I
do a bit of art work, as well as
getting involved in environmental
issues, which I think are very
important.
How did you get into puppeteering?
It was when I was first teaching,
primary teaching, and then I had
done amateur theatre. I’d made
puppets with the kids and then
after adopting a daughter, I began
developing shows, going around
schools and performing them
around Canterbury. Then life
took other turns then I got back
into it in 2000s. I wrote the puppet
shows and performed them.
BAG LADIES: Juliet Neill and her puppet ‘Daphne’ raising awareness for Plastic Bag Free
Lyttelton at the farmers’ market. (Right)Juliet likes to get political with her puppets. This is Roger
Sutton and Gerry Brownlee who were part of a post-earthquake show about insurance battles.
How do you decide what the
puppets will look like?
My puppets evolve. The show
I’m doing at the moment is based
on Beatrix Potter’s Peter Rabbit so
I’ve based the puppets on those
characters. A couple of weeks
ago I organised a day of puppetry
performing on the first day of the
Lyttelton Festival of Lights.
And do you keep all of the
puppets that you make?
I’ve got boxes of them in my
garage, heaps of them! I’ve made
some on commission, caricatures
of some people. I did work with
community house and made the
first giant puppet that we use for
the festival of lights. There’s also
a giant fish, a phoenix bird that
rose from the rubble after the
earthquakes and there’s also a
huge character which is a sort of
volcano thing. I used to run mask
workshops for the festival parade,
because I used to organise the parade
for about six or seven years,
but I stopped that about three
years ago.
Wow, that must have taken a
lot of organising.
You just learn by trial and error,
but it was a lot of work.
And what do you like to do in
your spare time?
I do a bit of painting, gardening,
and I also like singing.
And does your daughter live
in Lyttelton too?
Yes she lives in Lyttelton. She is
a bit of an artist, and she managed
Lyttelton Coffee Company.
So what is your ultimate goal
for Plastic Bag Free Lyttelton?
Well wouldn’t it be lovely if
the whole of New Zealand went
plastic bag free? It is such a huge
environmental problem. It would
be good if people began to take
global warming seriously as well.
Both of these things come down
to economics, as well as trying to
make the world a better place.
What do you think it was
that made you more concerned
about environmental issues?
I don’t know. My parents had
a love of the land and animals.
My father changed from being
a National party voter to being
quite an environmentalist, and
he joined Greenpeace in his later
years. And I guess just from
reading and life experiences.
So you were out and about at
Lyttelton Farmers’ Market on
Saturday with the Plastic Bag
Free campaign?
We were just talking to people
in the street and giving information.
A lot of people are right
behind it. There’s been a huge
uptake of people using reusable
bags at the market now. After
local body elections it would be
nice to establish a dialogue with
the council about it.
And what else have you been
involved with during your time
in Lyttelton?
I used to do voluntary work at
the Lyttelton Information Centre
for three or four years. And we
have a tree planting initiative at
Urumau Reserve. I’ve sort of just
this year got involved with planting
and watering.

“It was exciting when I first
found out I got it,” she said.
“It’s something I’ve been determined

the senior room so I’m very happy
to have received it.
“I’m most proud of being part
of the special choir for four years,
winning a New Zealand writing

at the zone swimming sports
and joining the bulletin team.
“It’s definitely a good thing to
strive for and such a great feeling
when you know you’ve achieved
it.”
Diamond Harbour School pupils celebrated their own
book week. As part of the week, the pupils shared bedtime
stories and hot chocolate, and received a visit from author
Bill Nagelkerke. They also held a bumper literary quiz,
community-wide book swap and a dress-up parade. Not
only did the tamariki enjoy dressing up, but staff also went all
out to make the day a memorable one.
CELEBRATION: Visiting author Bill Nagelkerke (above)
entertained with his stories and magic tricks. Diamond Harbour
staff (below) dressed up as part of the school’s book week.
Pupils on
recycling
adventure
DIAMOND Harbour’s Kotuku
class went on an adventure to
learn about recycling, waste
and what to do with unwanted
items.
Pupils went to the recycling
centre, EcoDrop, on Parkhouse
Rd to see what happens to
recycling after it is collected.
After that, they drove around
EcoDrop to see the different
types of things people dropped
off.
This included car batteries,
furniture, household chemicals
and scrap steel such as washing
machines.
The next stop was the Eco-
Shop, where the group bought
all the necessary items they
would need for a future flat,
with a $500 budget.
Next, the group headed to
Fendalton Open-air School to
have a look at its sound garden,
which was made out of unwanted
materials.
The sound garden contained
instruments made out of old
violins, bamboo sticks, tin
cans, pots and pans. The pupils
could make noises with the
instruments.
They then headed to the Gap
Filler sound garden on Peterborough
St. The pupils went
home with lots of inspiration to
make their own sound gardens.
Final countdown for SCIRT programme
SCIRT’s five year programme of repairs to pipes, roads, bridges and retaining walls
is now 91% complete and will finish in December.
Almost 80% of our repair programme is focused on the city’s underground
pipe networks.
SCIRT has replaced 715km of pipes – the distance of a return trip between
Christchurch and Dunedin. These pipes are now invisibly doing their important job
below ground.

Redcliffs School pupils learned how to
be safe around large trucks. The school
got a visit from the New Zealand Trucking
Association last week. Pupils got to climb
into the big trucks and learn about air
turbulence and blind spots for the drivers.
Principal Rose McInerney said it was a really
important lesson for the pupils, as there
were a lot of trucks in the area.

Dreaming of a plastic bag-free world
GOVERNORS BAY School
pupils won a competition aimed
at decreasing the use of plastic
shopping bags.
The school made cloth bags from
recycled fabric to be used as alternatives
to single use plastic bags.
The competition was organised
by Plastic Bag-Free Christchurch
to mark International Plastic Bag-
Free Day on July 3.
The school’s 66 pupils made
111 bags, some from singlets and
T-shirts.
One pupil made eight bags.
Governors Bay won a prize of
$100 and received a certificate.
World-wide, about a trillion single
use plastic bags are produced
every year, with only one to three
per cent recycled.
Plastic bags are used for a short
period of time before they are
discarded.
They often end up in the ocean,
affecting marine life.

Take a star-studded tour of
• By Mike Yardley
HOLLYWOOD DRIPS with
international glamour.
But how can you break through
the Tinsel Town mystique and
bask in the stardust?
On my most recent visit, I set
myself the mission of staking
out some old-school glamour,
celeb-heavy haunts and trending
hotspots.
All roads lead to the Hollywood
Strip, or “the boulevard of broken
dreams”, as my Red Line walking
tour guide, Michael, preferred to
call it.
Red Line’s Behind the Scenes
tour has become part of Hollywood
folklore, expertly narrated
and spiriting you into many
storied nooks and crannies, that
most tourists miss. www.redlinetours.com/la
After admiring some of the
legendary names lining Hollywood
Boulevard’s Walk of Fame,
Michael ushered us in what I
think is the most unsung vestige
of Hollywood glam: the Egyptian
Theatre.
Extensively restored and earthquake
re-strengthened in recent
years, this picture palace was the
birthplace of the movie premiere
and the movie star.
Built by Sid Grauman in 1922,
GLAM: You never know who you will bump into in the lobby of the Redbury Hotel. Each room comes complete with record
players and vinyl.
he used search lights for a premiere
and it was where red carpet
was first rolled out all the way to
the street.
Egyptian music and incense
wafted through the courtyard,
adding to the Egyptian motif,
which was all the rage, given the
epic excavations and discovery of
King Tut’s tomb.
Inside the theatre, I admired
the two Egyptian dog statues, gifted
by 20th Century Fox, which
featured in Cleopatra, starring
Elizabeth Taylor. The Red Line
Tour is a great way to get inside
this heritage-studded shrine.
Five years later, Sid Grauman
launched another lavish movie
palace, the Chinese Theatre,
which continues to host more
world premieres than any other
theatre on the planet.
I’ve often wondered how the celebrity
hand, and footprints, immortalised
in the forecourt, first
came about. Red Line’s Michael
had the good oil.
Sid Grauman created the first
footprints by mistake – stepping
into wet concrete as his theatre
was being constructed.
The foreman remarked:
“Those footprints are going to
be there forever,” and the rest is
history.
Pop into the Hollywood
Museum, housed in the 1930s
Max Factor building, where
so many screen legends were
transformed in the famous
make-up rooms. Lucille Ball,
Rita Hayworth, Judy Garland
and Elizabeth Taylor were all
primped and styled here – as was
Marilyn Monroe. It was here that
the brunette became the blonde
bombshell.

Tinsel Town
Pop into the landmark Hollywood
Roosevelt Hotel, which
is where Shirley Temple learnt
to tap dance and where Marilyn
Monroe’s first magazine shoot
took place, shot by the Tropicana
pool.
That location is now a top celeb
hideaway that you can gain access
too. A true Hollywood oasis, the
poolside Tropicana Café & Bar is
a seductive all-day retreat.
Enjoy a late breakfast or cheeky
cocktail here. A star-studded
haunt for close celebrity encounters
– and the permanent presence
of paparazzi, is The Ivy in
Robertson Boulevard.
It’s a great spot for breakfast or
lunch: order up the cheap and
cheerful homemade buttermilk
pancakes and fresh ginger tea.
If you notice swarms of tourists
photographing the fast food joint,
El Pollo Loco, on the corner of
Serrano Ave and Sunset Boulevard,
the reason is this is where
a struggling young actor named
Brad Pitt, would beckon customers
into the store, dressed up as a
chicken on the roadside. Nearby,
on the Sunset Strip, pop into the
auction house, Bonhams.
They stage regular auctions and
the loot inside this place rivals
a museum. It is the number one
clearing house for second-hand
celebrity goods.
I had a major star moment, in
the elevator of my hotel, The Redbury.
Cyndi Lauper swept into
the lift with her entourage, chatty,
charming and looking half of
her 62 years of age. The Redbury,
a boutique all-suites hotel, sits
across the road from the iconic
Capitol Records building.
Glamorous, colourful and spacious,
the 57 guest suites come
complete with record players and
vinyl collections. I played Duke
Ellington on repeat.
The quirky and eye-catching art
pieces, sprinkled throughout the
property are pure escapism.
I loved the hip Middle Easterninspired
Cleo restaurant and
the indoor-outdoor library for
handcrafted cocktails. Plus there’s
a complimentary BMW house car
available for pick-up or drop-off
within three miles.
Accommodation rates are not
eye-watering – and you never
know who you’ll bump into.

Bays’ hopes diminish
• By Fraser Walker-Pearce
DANNY HALLIGAN’S dream
of a top three finish was dashed
on Saturday, as his Ferrymead
Bays team went down 1-0 to
Coastal Spirit.
At the start of the season, Halligan
said that Bays were not in
the Mainland Premier League
to make up the numbers, and
that “third (place) would be the
minimum” expectation.
“We’ve been building and improving
so I think third would
be the minimum expectation
and we’ll do everything we can
to get that title,” Halligan said in
the pre-season.
Although it’s still mathematically
possible for Bays to finish
third, they would have to win
all five remaining games in the
league, and Nelson Suburbs
would have to lose all five of
their matches as well.
Bays last five matches include
playing against league leaders
Cashmere Technical and thirdplaced
Nelson Suburbs.
Bays currently sit in fourth
place, 13 points behind Nelson,
making their clash on August 13
at Ferrymead Park all the more
important.
It could get worse for Bays, too,
if FC2011 beat Universities on
Saturday and Bays lose to Cash
Tech, they will drop below FC on
the ladder and have no chance of
reaching third.
Halligan could not be reached
by Bay Harbour News for comment.
Bays’ end of season run
July 23 v Cashmere Technical
(home); July 30 v FC2011

in McCaffrey’s 100th
• By Fraser Walker-Pearce
SUMNER No 10 Nik Cumming
put on a classy performance
against High School Old Boys
to help his side celebrate centre
Reece McCaffrey’s 100th game
for the club.
Sumner mounted a come back
to win the game at St Leonard’s
Square 23-17 after being down
14-12 at half time.
McCaffrey led the team onto
the field and captained the side
for the game in recognition of
his milestone game.
Cumming said the team
pulled together and played hard
for their skipper on the day.
“It was a good moment for
him, he’s a huge part of the club.
I work with him and he was a
big part of me coming over, and
the boys wanted to perform for
him,” he said.
But Cumming stole the show
by scoring all Sumner’s points
– three tries, a conversion, and
two penalty kicks.
Cumming now leads the
Hawkins Division 1 Cup for
most points scored.
He has a total of 179 points
with one match to go – a point
ahead of Old Boys first fiveeighth
Jarred Percival.
Percival did not take to the
field against Sumner because of

his trial for the Southland ITM
Cup squad.
Cumming said he was glad
not to have Percival on the field,
as he has been key to Old Boys’
success this season.
“I’m sort of happy, I guess,
that he wasn’t playing.
“He’s a good player and makes
a big difference in the way they
play. They tend to run a bit of
their game off him,” Cumming
said.
With just one game remaining
in the season before the
play-offs, Sumner sit in third
place in the section two table,
with three wins from the last
four matches.
Their final match will be
played away against Belfast on
Saturday and is a must win if
they hope to make the ‘middle
four’ semi-finals.
The semi-finals will see the
bottom two teams from section
one playing off against the top
two from section two.
POWERING ON: Lyttelton’s Timm Hunter (right) on the charge
during Saturday’s match won by New Brighton 15-10.
Lyttelton’s bitter pill
• By Fraser Walker-Pearce
LYTTELTON’S TOP side may
be out of contention for the
Hawkins Division 2 Cup, but
they won’t stop fighting for the
best finish they can get.
Lyttelton’s 15-10 loss against
New Brighton on Saturday
means they are in fifth place
heading into the season’s knockout
stages.
The club’s rugby development
officer Clint Williams said it was
a gut-wrenching end to a solid
season.
“To be honest, I think that was
the end of our season, that loss to
Brighton. We’ll end up playing
for fifth and sixth now I think,
which is a bit tough to swallow
because we played so well,” he
said.
On looking at the start of the
club’s season, Mr Williams said
injuries to key members of the
team led to a tough tournament.
“I’m not making excuses for
the boys at all, but if you looked
at the team we had at the start of
the season, we’ve had a massive
struggle with injuries.
“Our captain and about five of
the team’s leadership group were
all injured.
“One injury came in the first
two minutes of the season’s
opening game, and that was his
season over,” he said.
Lyttelton will face Linwood
in the final game of the normal
season, before going into the
knockout stage.

Motoring
Skoda Fabia wagon a good value purchase
• By Ross Kiddie
THE JUNE 23 referendum
which resulted in Great Britain’s
withdrawal from the European
Union has taken the world by
surprise.
There will be a long period
of global financial uncertainty
before stability returns and that
will also affect many aspects of
our down under economies.
In the short term, imported
goods will most certainly rise,
including motor vehicles, especially
those sourced from Europe.
That being the case, there’s
probably no better time to buy a
European car, and if your budget
is a little restricted but you need
a reliable practical car, Skoda has
the answer.
A new Fabia has just landed
and it lists from $19,990. It
arrives here in three variants,
and I was lucky enough to land
a drive in the range-topping station
wagon which, incidentally,
lists at an amazing $26,990,
making it, what I believe to be
one of the bargain purchases in
today’s new car market.
The Fabia wagon, or Combi,
as Skoda badge it, is powered
by a 1.2-litre, four-cylinder
engine. Before you scoff at its
meagre displacement, bear in
mind that it produces 81kW
and has a healthy 175Nm of
SKODA FABIA COMBI: Volkswagen-based engineering.
torque thanks to turbocharged
boost. If you take into account
the areas where peak power and
maximum torque are developed
(4600rpm-5600rpm and
1400rpm-4000rpm respectively),
there is an unimpeded supply of
power from very low in the rev
band, providing a spirited drive
through a seven-speed direct
shift automatic gearbox.
If fuel usage is also an important
buying criteria, the Fabia
Combi is listed with a 4.8-litre
per 100km (58mpg) combined
cycle average.
You don’t have to try hard to
replicate that, I wasn’t gentle
with the throttle during my time
in the test car, yet it was easy to
have the fuel usage readout listing
around 6l/100km (47mpg),
that along with an instantaneous
readout of 4.6l/100km (62mpg)
on the highway cruising a
steady 100km/h (engine speed
2050rpm).
I’ve often written about the
Czech Republic’s engineering
prowess, and if you combined
that with Volkswagen’s manufacturing
ideology of quality and
efficiency you won’t be disappointed
with Fabia. The entire
package is one of practicality
and functionality.
Take it’s 505-litre load space
for example, extending to
1370-litres, the wagon section
is cavernous for what is
deemed to be a small car. That
doesn’t come at the cost of rear
occupant space, the Fabia can
still be considered a marginal
five-seater, head and leg room is
satisfactory.
Up front it is the same, the
seating position is constantly
comfortable, and the controls
fall readily to hand. It’s fair to
say the Fabia isn’t overly complicated,
there aren’t a lot of
functions to speak of, but the
essentials are there, and there is
enough kit to still consider the
purchase a bargain.
I took the test car on my usual
high country drive beneath the
Malvern Hills and found it to
be a spirited, well-handling car
which quickly endears itself.
Handling-wise it is directional
with quick turn-in and positive
steering feel. Providing the grip
are 215/45 x 16in Bridgestone
Potenza performance tyres, what
they lack in size they make up
for in quality, they are sticky yet
also quiet.
There aren’t any surprises
within the suspension, but
if you take into account that
the floorpan is essentially
Volkswagen Polo-based, you can
guarantee a sophisticated ride
along with spring and damper
rates that arrest body movement
when confronted with a quick
corner or two, and if you really

But even in standard form the

Becasue the engine develops
its power low in the rev band
and the constant supply of gearing
there is a seamless flow
of energy. It is responsive and
willing, easily offering the performance
needed for a highway
overtake or a quick burst on a
hilly incline.
The Fabia Combi really

you hop into it. I’m hoping that
amidst all the uncertainty in

cars like it, and the hundreds
of others which find their way

Zealand, won’t be affected by
Britain’s decision to go it alone.

No Man’s Land by Simon Tolkien
From the slums of London to the riches of an Edwardian country house;
from the hot, dark seams of a Yorkshire coalmine to the exposed terrors of
the trenches, Adam Raine’s journey from boy to man is set against the
backdrop of a society violently entering the modern world. Adam
Raine is a boy cursed by misfortune. His impoverished childhood
in the slums of Islington is brought to an end by a tragedy
that sends him north to Scarsdale, a hard-living coalmining
town where his father finds work as a union organizer. But it
isn’t long before the escalating tensions between the miners
and their employer, Sir John Scarsdale, explode with terrible
consequences. In the aftermath, Adam meets Miriam, the
Rector’s beautiful daughter, and moves into Scarsdale Hall, an
opulent paradise compared with the life he has been used to before.
But he makes an enemy of Sir John’s son, Brice, who subjects him to
endless petty cruelties for daring to step above his station. When love and an
Oxford education beckon, Adam feels that his life is finally starting to come
together – until the outbreak of war threatens to tear everything apart.

English yoke, dreaming of independence. And finally it looks as though the
charismatic Owain Glyndwr may be the man legend tralks of. In the walls of
Sleeper’s Castle, Catrin finds herself caught in the middle of a doomed war as
she is called upon to foretell Wales’s destiny… And what she sees, is blood
and war coming closer…Hay, 2015. Miranda has moved to Sleeper’s Castle
to escape and grieve. Slowly she feels herself coming to life in the solitude of

vivid. And she makes a connection with a young girl, who’s screaming, who’s
reaching out… who only Miranda can help. Is she losing herself to time?

How To Avoid Back Pain
In 3 Easy Steps
Back pain affects 80% of adults,
statistics say that at any given
time 47% of adults are suffering
back pain.
Admittedly the range is from
stiffness through to major back pain, but
these statistics shouldn’t frighten, but help
you understand how to avoid back pain.
Okay, so what steps can you follow to
avoid back pain?
Step One: Recognise that most back
pain is not from falls or major injuries.
The vast majority of back pain comes
from small injuries.
The lifting of your child, gardening,
shifting a chair or even bending, twisting
or moving without any effort at all.
A study showed that of all the injuries
that people listed as the cause of their
pain, 92% of these were not severe enough
to cause any pain at all. Why?
it is the accumulation of many small
injuries over time that cause pain. So how
can you stop these?
you can’t, you have to live life after all.
But what you should do is recognize the
first signs that these are accumulating.
That morning stiffness when you get out
of bed. The tightness when you move.
These are the times to take action and
make sure your muscles and joints are in
balance. even going for a long walk can
help ease some of this tension. But this
leads us to step two.
Step two: if it doesn’t ease, then time
generally won’t help. if pain is present for
more than a few days, then it is unlikely
to completely ease by itself. Sure pain may
disappear but most often you are left with
some lingering issue.
This is one of the reasons that as we age
we feel tighter, less able to move and more
general aches and pains. All these little
injuries that have never completely healed.
So if pain persists (as those ads say on tV),
seek help. Which leads to the final step.
Step Three: here in the lovely bay
harbour area, we are blessed with many
great Chiropractors, Physiotherapists and
massage Therapists.
So there is no need to put up with pain. And even if the pain is minor, now is the best
time to remove it before it becomes chronic and you spend your days not moving as
freely as you should. Keeping your joints and muscles in good balance will help prevent
joint issues as you age.
it is that simple … an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. take action now
and feel free to call for a consultation so you can see how we can get you moving freely
again. The Clinic is open for new clients again, so call on 3840-160 if you feel you need
help with any pain, no matter how small.

Retaining Wall
When considering a retaining wall,
Solveig Construction can advise the
best solution based on the structural
requirements and aesthetic needs.
The main function of retaining wall
systems is to create a strong wall
structure to contain and stabilise soil
and rock behind the wall system to
stop erosion on steep and sloped
landscapes.
The other advantage is for their decorative appeal that will transform any landscape setting
to look attractive and create visual interest. Retaining walls can be constructed from various
building materials such as, concrete blocks, natural stone blocks, bricks, poured in concrete
and timber.
Before choosing the look of the wall you want on your property, you must seek professional
advice. With our expertise and knowledge, Solveig Construction can suggest the best type
of wall design and the most suitable material appropriate to your needs.
Contact Dougall Patchett to discuss options for your retaining wall design.
Phone 027 431 5289.
Parklands Drive – Concrete block and timber walls with steps
As the house is at the bottom of a sloping section, the homeowner required clear access
around the front of the home. The solution is a concrete block retaining wall topped by a
landscaped terrace edged with a small timber wall. Steps allow access from the lawn to the
front entry.

alongside kids their age. We aim to get them

bond and play together, or we can take care of
them while you run errands or have some time
to yourself!

them express themselves through hip hop dance.
