Decision looms on how
Lyttelton buildings will look
• By Bridget Rutherford
LYTTELTON COULD soon
have a panel that will help
oversee what can be built there
and how new buildings will look.
The city council will decide
tomorrow whether to approve
the establishment of a Lyttelton
Design Review
Panel for an
18-month trial
period.
It comes
after residents
Brent Stanaway
Paula Smith
Brent and Ann
Stanaway tried
to build a new
home on the
corner of Sumner
Rd and Oxford St
in 2012, but had
their design rejected
by the city
council because
it was not suitable
for the heritage precinct.
The panel would be made
up of four Lyttelton residents,
with some form of urban design
qualification, to help review
any new build resource consent
applications.
It would then write a report
on the plans, which would be
reviewed by the city council’s
Urban Design Panel.
The concept is similar to the
Akaroa Design and Appearance
Advisory Committee.
REJECTED: An artist’s impression of what Brent and Ann Stanaway’s new home on the corner of Oxford St and Sumner Rd would
have looked like. The plan was rejected by the city council in 2012.
The Lyttelton-Mt Herbert
Community Board has been
pushing for the panel to be set up
since the February 2011 earthquake,
so the community has
more say in the area’s rebuild.
Chairwoman Paula Smith
said there was a strong desire for
Lyttelton’s remaining heritage to
be restored, but residents did not
want to “recreate” what was there
before.
“The board has been aware
there is a very high level of
interest and concern in Lyttelton
about urban design issues.”
The Stanaway family were
living in the former fire station
building, and wanted to
rebuild on the site after it was
demolished due to earthquake
damage.
Mr Stanaway said he did not
know enough about the panel,
so he did not want to comment
on it.
Ms Smith said the board
hoped the panel would help new
builds reflect Lyttelton’s “character
and culture”.
“More unusual buildings may
be able to be built,” she said.
She said the board wanted to
hear from experts that would be
interested in being part of the
panel.

think Lyttelton needs a
design review panel? Would

THE IDEA of creating a second
tunnel between Christchurch
and Lyttelton has a community
board leader happy but
frustrated.
A report showed a second road
tunnel between Christchurch
and Lyttelton will be needed in
about 20 years
due to growth in
freight transport.
Lyttelton-Mt
Herbert Community
Board
chairwoman
Paula Smith said
it was about time
a second tunnel was looked at.
“There’s been a constant
increase in traffic as freight
volume increases and it creates
safety issues for people moving
through the town,” Ms Smith
said.
Lyttelton Port of Christchurch
chief executive Peter Davie said
a “guestimate” from an engineer
had put the cost of a second
tunnel in the region of $500
million and funding it would
probably fall to road control
authorities.
Mr Davie said the logical
thing would be for one tunnel
to serve port traffic, possibly
bypassing Norwich Quay in Lyttelton
and connecting directly to
the port.
“We need it as soon as possible
because for years the Lyttelton
residents have been asking to
get the heavy traffic off Norwich
Quay,” Ms Smith said.
Ms Smith was upset that a
second tunnel is only being
considered now as Sumner Rd is
being reopened to accommodate
freight traffic.
“They’re spending between
$40 and $60 million dollars to
reopen Sumner Rd as a freight
route which will only be used
by a few trucks and about less
than 300 cars a day. We couldn’t
believe it was approved because
it’s so shortsighted – it’s never
going to be a residential route,”
she said.
“Now it’s approved and
underway and they’re going to
stuff the landscape on this side . .
. only now they’re talking about
a freight tunnel? I can’t believe
it. Bring it on, we welcome it –
but why didn’t someone say this
earlier?,” Ms Smith said.
She said the Sumner Rd
reopening will help in the Lyttelton
Port’s reclamation at Te
Awaparahi Bay.
She said the excavation of
material on Sumner Rd will
be added to the extension the
company is doing to facilitate

increased trade.
“They have managed to get the
ratepayer and taxpayer to underwrite
work that they would’ve
had to have done anyway to
achieve their long-term goal,”
she said.
New Zealand Transport
Agency director southern region
Jim Harland said the tunnel
still had significant capacity to
accommodate further growth in
traffic volumes before a solution
would be needed. Increasing the
use of rail to the port would also
help.
NZTA is expected to install
a deluge system in the tunnel
by the end of next year, involving
sprinklers which could be
activated in response to a vehicle
fire.

$4 million war memorial
centre opens next month
• By Annabelle Dick
THE MT PLEASANT War
Memorial Community Centre
is one step closer to opening
after several delays under
construction.
A plaque to acknowledge the
new centre – which will open
next month – has been provided
by the Hagley-Ferrymead Community
Board.
The centre has had the opening
delayed twice due to construction
woes and the discovery
of asbestos in the ground as
the centre is built on a former
landfill.
Community centre president
Derek McCullough said the
$4 million project has taken
years to come to fruition, but
residents are excited about the
unveiling.
“The community can’t wait –
they’re busting to get in there.
They’ve seen it take shape over
the last couple of years and it’s
such an iconic, nice looking
building,” he said.
“It sits in its location really well
and reflects the history.”
The centre had to be rebuilt
after sustaining significant damage
in the February 22, 2011,
earthquake.
The facility was under-insured

at the time of the earthquake so
funding the $4 million cost of
the rebuild has been an uphill
battle.
The city council approved a
sum of $428,000 to complete the
repairs and landscaping, but the
association still needs to raise
nearly $500,000 to complete the
build without a loan.
The group is asking residents
to donate to the rebuild fund,
but the centre will still open next
month regardless of whether
they meet that target.
“We’ll have it ready for summer
and onwards from there
for the community to use,” Mr
McCullough said.
The community centre will
open on September 30 with an
official ceremony.
Two metre pool-type
fencing for Main Rd
• By Annabelle Dick
POOL STYLE safety fencing
will be installed along the
cliff sides of Main Rd in spite
of negative feedback from
residents.
The city council will install
2m high safety fences along the
cliff sides of Main Rd at Moa
Bone Point, Shag Rock Reserve
and Wakefield Ave, between
Nayland to Paisley Sts.
The city council was looking
at two options for the fencing –
mesh or pool-style fencing.
The proposal received 145
submissions with 59 per cent in
favour of the pool-style design
and 30 per cent in support of a
mesh style security fence.
But some residents are unhappy
with the outcome, saying
a 1.2m fence with hazard signs
will do the same job as a fence.
“The proposed prison fencing
is entirely inappropriate. A barrier
like a normal fence or wall,
or a swimming pool type fence
a metre high would be acceptable,
as would hazard warning
signs at intervals along the fence
length,” Redcliffs Residents’ Association
acting chairman Chris
Doudney said.
Sumner Community Residents’
Association member Darrell
Latham said they consulted
with the city council to see if
the height could be changed but
the 2m fence height was nonnegotiable.
But residents are confused
are receiving conflicting emails
from city council staff.
Senior planner Melinda Smith
said in an email:
“There is usually some scope
for change within a consent
and, if it were to be a wee bit
shorter or taller, that would be
unlikely to be an issue under the
Resource Management Act.”
But city services general
manager David Adamson told
residents in an email it was still
non-negotiable because the
purpose of the fence was to keep
people out and 2m is appropriate.
“We’re not prepared to compromise
safety for aesthetics,”
he said.
Residents in the affected areas
were invited to a consultation
evening by the city council to
discuss the fence options. But
the both of the residents’ associations
are unhappy with the
meeting because community
input was restricted.
Fencing will be progressively
installed as work is completed at
the three sites.
EQC has just extended its deadline
Its latest ‘reassurance’ on Limitation Act says
‘EQC reserves the right to change its approach.’
The only way to settle your claim is to sue EQC.

Iconic building may be sold
• By Annabelle Dick
CITY COUNCIL-owned Yew
Cottage in Akaroa could be sold
after a report recommended the
sale of the heritage building.
A staff report, released last
week, recommended the historic
1870s cottage be sold.
The Akaroa-Wairewa Community
Board will meet today at
9:30am in Little River to decide
the cottage’s future.
The building has been deteriorating,
with water seeping
through the roof, and the whole
structure has been in decline for
many years.
The Akaroa Civic Trust,
among others in the community,
lobbied for more than eight years
for the city council to maintain
and restore the building, with
little success.
Akaroa Civic Trust representative
Steve Lowndes said the city
council was down-playing the
heritage value of the building on
the area.
“The cottage is part of the
colonial buildings that exist in
Akaroa. We see them as a collection
and any threat to any one
is really an assault on the town’s
heritage atmosphere.”
While the city council has
managed it for the past 10 years
since absorbing the Banks
Peninsula District Council, Mr
Lowndes said their management
has been rudimentary.
“The council hasn’t been doing
enough to protect the cottage
and they’re just trying to get
it off their hands so they don’t
have to pay for it. The building
is flood-prone and a resident
has arranged to get a company
to raise the cottage pro bono,
which is a significant offer,” Mr
Lowndes said.
“The report said it will cost
about $200,000 to repair, which
isn’t out of court to bring it up
to standard I wouldn’t have
thought.”
Akaroa is home to around 280
colonial buildings.
The board has been given four
options to consider, including
selling it on the open market;
undertaking repairs and
establishing a public work for
the property; leasing the
property to a third party; or
gifting the property to a third
party.
A land covenant may also be
involved, which means the heritage
values of the cottage have to
be protected.
The trust has put forward a
proposal that the building and
property be retained for the use
of the Akaroa community and
surrounding area.

decision

THE LYTTELTON Historical
Museum Society will find out
the fate of their proposed new
premises in a city council meeting
tomorrow.
The city council will meet
to decide whether to allow the
society to take over the Lyttelton
Service Centre’s former site on 33
London St.
If the request is accepted, it
could see the museum open on
the council-owned land as early
as 2019.
The society is trying to acquire
the former service centre site after
the museum was badly damaged
in the February 22, 2011, earthquake
and had to be demolished.
The museum collection was
rescued and is currently stored
at the Air Force Museum of New
Zealand.
During the last three years,
more than 8500 items have been
catalogued and photographed and
are slowly being made available
to view online via the museum’s
website.
The Lyttelton-Mt Herbert Community
Board recommended the
site be gifted to the society.

Filtration plan for Heathcote
• By Annabelle Dick
A PROPOSED $1.5 million
new filtration system could help
improve water quality in the
Heathcote River.
City council staff have presented
a report to the Infrastructure,
Transport and Environment
Committee which recommends
piloting a stormwater filtration
device.
The device would be installed
at a new pump station which
will be built next year on Richardson
Tce to reduce flooding in
Woolston.
Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai
Trust chairman Bill Simpson said
it was good to see the city council
trying to improve the Heathcote
catchment.
“It’s good news hearing this
will reduce zinc, copper and
heavy metals as well as general
contamination and sediments in
the waterway,” he said.
The Heathcote River catchment
recorded the poorest water
quality of the five catchments
sampled over the last two years.
The others sampled were
the Avon, Halswell, Styx and
Otukaikino rivers.
Zinc from tyres and copper
from brake pads that gets washed
off the roads when it rains is one
of the principal sources of contaminants,
along with sediment,
in the city’s waterways.
The filtration device was expected
to significantly reduce the
amount of contaminants entering
the Heathcote.
Figures suggested it could
reduce dissolved metals by up to
25 per cent and sediment by 40 to
50 per cent.
POOR
CONDITIONS: The
Heathcote River
catchment has
the worst water
quality out of all
five catchments
measured.
PHOTOS: GEOFF
SLOAN
But water quality isn’t the only
problem for the area, residential
waste has been plaguing the
banks and waterways for many
years.
In May this year close to 1300
people collected just over 20
tonnes of rubbish from the banks
of the Avon and Heathcote rivers
and the edge of the estuary.
Mr Simpson said the trust was
one of several working groups

Community cleans
up esplanade
Sumner
Community
Residents’
Association
member
Michelle
Quin helped
organise the
community esplanade clean
up. She writes this week’s
soap box on keeping the
sea-side suburb tidy
On a stunning wintery Sunday
morning more than 40 people
turned out to take part in the
first of a series of city councilsupported
working bees. The
working bees, organised by the
Sumner Community Residents’
Association, aimed to tidy up and
maintain the gardens along the
Esplanade Reserve and walkway.
Under the guidance of experts
from the city council, the local
park rangers led the gardening
and tree pruning effort.
Residents were out in force,
as well as community board
member Sara Templeton,
councillor Paul Londsdale and
National MP Nuk Korako.
Gym members from F45, which
recently opened in Ferrymead,
also chipped in to lend three sets
of helping hands.
With two hours available, the
focus of the working bee was
on the Hardwicke St area of the
esplanade.
The collective passion and
community spirit saw results that
were immediate and positive.
Crews cleared pathways, pruned
trees, removed deadwood to allow
light and space in overgrown
areas as well as improve the
health of plants.
There is a master plan for
the gardens in the area and the
Sumner Community Residents’
Association is delighted to be
working closely with the council
to ensure ongoing maintenance
of these special gardens for the
benefit of all.
With each successive working
bee, a different area of the
esplanade will be given attention
so that the entire stretch is a
wonderful environment for
residents and visitors.
Thank you to all involved.
The next working bee will be in
September, with the date to be
confirmed.
A working bee at the Esplanade last weekend got the community out on the streets tidying up the
sea-side area. The clean up effort aimed to beautify the waterfront and prune overgrown plants
in the area. Residents, city councillors and community board members teamed up to make for a
succesful day.
MUCKING IN: Volunteers brought out their shovels
to tidy up the esplanade on Sunday morning.
COMMUNITY EFFORT: Community representatives
also gave a helping hand.
SHARING THE LOAD: Residents aimed to
beautify the main drag.
KEEP IT GREEN: Nearly 50 people turned
up to the clean up.

Cashless trading proves
popular in Ferrymead
• By Annabelle Dick
THE TIMEBANKING initiative
of paying for goods and services
with time is increasing in
popularity.
Ferrymead-based
Bridge2Rocks Timebank has seen
its membership double in the past
six months, and has welcomed its
100th member.
Members freely exchange
knowledge and resources in
exchange for a time credit.
Those credits can be used to
purchase someone else’s time,
knowledge or resources.
Bridge2Rocks TimeBank
coordinator Liz Kerslake said the
group is trying to recruit more
residents to join the TimeBank
strategy, which is aimed at building
strong, resilient communities.
“In June, Mt Pleasant School
signed up to the TimeBank and
have used the scheme to loan a
vintage bike,” she said.
“A member in Heathcote also
sourced a disco ball for her
daughter’s birthday and our
youngest member got help
making a ‘disgusting birthday
cake’.”

New probus group
• By Annabelle Dick
ROTARY IS pushing for a
probus club to be created to fulfil
a need in the Lyttelton area.
Rotary Probus chairman David
Drake said the area doesn’t
have a place for retirees and
semi-retirees to get together.
“We’re trying to survey the
need for one,” Mr Drake said.
There are probus clubs in Diamond
Harbour, Ferrymead and
Sumner, but none in Lyttelton.
The proposed group would
service the Lyttelton area and
also Governors Bay.
The club would be called the
Lyttelton Harbour Probus Club.
“Anybody can come along.
There’s a free ferry service from
Diamond Harbour to Lyttelton
for people with gold cards which
people in probus would have,”
Mr Drake said.
Probus clubs were started 42
years ago in Kapiti as a social
organisation for people who are
retired, semi-retired or soon-toretire.
“More and more people are
retiring nowadays so it would
be good to get one out there,” he
said.
Residents are being invited to
an interest meeting being held
today at Union Chapel Hall,
Winchester St at 1.30pm.
Thanks Canterbury

Our People
Singer-songwriter has
Sumner singer-songwriter Asti-Loren Newman might only be 18, but she has
already travelled the world and attended the same school as Amy Winehouse.
Annabelle Dick talked to Asti-Loren about her new album, Psychedelic Rose, and
getting barred from the school choir thanks to a questionable comment about her
teacher’s facial hair.
So as a singer-songwriter,
when did you get into music?
I’ve always had a massive
passion for music. When I was
about 11-years-old, I joined
the Christchurch City Chorus,
which is like a 150-person barbershop.
We went to New York
and sung when I was 13, which
was awesome. I worked with
Nolan from the Christchurch
School of Rock in Sumner and
would perform at the Headless
Mexican. I’d also do busking
along the esplanade.
I tried
TALENTED:
Asti-Loren
busked her way
through Europe at
17-years-old.
to join the school choir but got
turned down in year 6, 7 and 8,
because apparently I couldn’t
sing in tune, but I think it was
because I told my music teacher
she had a moustache in front of
the whole class. I told her my
mum is a beauty therapist and
she should go to her and I think
she held that against me. It was
a pretty rude thing for me to say,
but I was only nine-years-old at
the time, so I didn’t know any
better. I was pretty upset about
it so I went to the principal and
told them, ‘I’m setting up my
own barbershop; I’m getting my
own teacher to come and teach it
and I’m going to teach it as well’
and I had more people auditioning
for it than the school choir.
I’ve always been the kind of
person that, if things don’t go my
way, I’m going to make it happen
for myself.
You attended the same music
school as Amy Winehouse –
how did that come about?
When the February 2011
earthquake happened, I was off
school, our house was quite
damaged and my mum
lost her business as well. I
watched the film Fame one
day and I knew I wanted
to go to stage school.
So without telling my
parents, I researched the
best stage schools across
the United States and
the United Kingdom
and I randomly
chose one to
apply for.
I heard
MENTOR: Asti-Loren mentoring Selwyn House Girls School
children last year.
back four days later from the
Susi Earnshaw Theatre School
with a letter of acceptance. Here’s
14-year-old me going, ‘oh no,
what have I done’, so I had to tell
my parents and they were really
supportive. I don’t know many
parents who would let their
14-year-old daughter go to the
UK by themselves.
What was it like attending the
school?
It was awesome. I was the first
person they’d ever had from
Australia/New Zealand. There
was three days a week of dance,
tap, jazz singing, theatre singing,
pop singing, all sorts really. The
teachers were great and really
young, too. One of my teachers
was a back-up dancer for Justin
Bieber and he’d also won
Britain’s Got Talent. I studied
there for two years and then
I got offered a development
contract with a label
in Soho and that’s how I met
my producer Chris Hall who
helped me create my album
Psychedelic Rose. I got to record
in the same vocal booth as Pink
Floyd.
How did it feel living in London
by yourself as a 14-yearold?
That must’ve been a pretty
scary experience?
It wasn’t too scary . . . but
being so young and moving to
another country was a bit of a
culture shock. I had an apartment
just down from school and
I made friends really fast. There
was always people I knew around
me like my uncle in Sweden and
my cousin came through when
he was on his O.E. I wasn’t really
naughty I always had so much
to do. I would go to the London
Central City Library and read
books on Woodstock. I went
to an Audrey Hepburn exhibition
and I’d often go to the East
London markets at the end of
the day and they’d give me free
donuts. They knew when I was
coming and give me all this free
food and I’d walk home with all
my groceries.

the world at her feet
And you travelled a bit from
there?
I’m really spontaneous so I
decided to do a busking tour
around Europe. So I contacted
Interrail and Eurail to see if it
was something they were interested
in – they bought it. So they
gave us a 12-day rail pass and we
went from London to Stockholm
to Copenhagen down to Warsaw
in Poland and then to Prague
then Munich, Salzburg, Venice,
Asti, Monte Carlo, Nice and
then Amsterdam all in 12 days
with my best friend who’s a New
Zealand windsurfer. While this
was happening I was only 17. I
have about 50,000 fans online so
I’d post each day were I was and
I’d have all these people turn up
– I didn’t really expect it at all. I
made about €200 (euro) busking
in each city.
So tell me about your
music and your new album
Psychedelic Rock which you
recently released?
The music I’ve established as
my brand is more electronic.
This album is influenced by
the 60s and 70s Americana,
Woodstock and that whole
hippy movement. I love the
era. I watched Jim Carroll’s The
Basketball Diaries and read a
novel he wrote . . . it’s really raw.
This album draws a lot from that.
This album is a concept album
I’ve written myself. It goes from
dark to light as I have this thing
called synaesthesia where I see
music and colour so it helps a
lot with my writing, it’s a bit of
a blessing. I wrote the album’s
track names before I wrote the
songs. I’ve written a novel to
go along with the album and
eventually I want to make it into
a short film. People can interpret
my music any way they want.
They’re not pop songs – it’s a
lot more than that. I don’t just
sit back and let other people
do things for me, I’m a really
involved person in my career so
I do a lot of promoting myself,
I keep up my social media
following and I edit my own
videos.
Do you have any influences
that you draw on when creating
your sound?
I listen to Lana del Rey, The xx,
Haim, Taylor Swift, Marina and
the Diamonds, Fleetwood Mac,
PERFORMING: Asti-Loren’s new album Psychedelic Rose was released on Saturday.
The Zombies, Dire Straits and
Pink Floyd – a real variety really.
I’ve taken different influences
from the greats of each genre and
incorporated them into my work
– whether it’s lyrically, musically
or the way I present myself.
Tell me a bit about growing
up – what’s you’re family like?
I grew up in a house on the top
of Scarborough Hill. I went to
Selwyn House and then St Andrew’s
College. My mother owns
a salon Yazu Hair Salon. She’s
incredibly talented. She’s been
on the L’Oreal creative team and
a part of New Zealand Fashion
Week. She was actually teaching
hairdressing in Asia while
she was eight months pregnant
with me which was pretty crazy.
She’s heavily driven . . . I think
that’s where I get it from. My
mum and my dad met at 15 and
started the business together. He
was going to be a mechanic, but
he’s technically a hairdresser by
trade. They separated when I was
nine so he went to the Caribbean
to buy a boat and sailed it
back to New Zealand to set up a
charter business. So, when I was
younger, I grew up in a boat. I
lived on it in Diamond Harbour
and the Lyttelton marina. I used
to go to school in a dingy. We
had five dalmatian dogs and we’d
be in a five-metre dingy with one
of our dogs at the front and my
brother and I in our posh private
school uniforms. We’d sail from
Diamond Harbour to Lyttelton
and we’d arrive at school soaked.
My little brother Lucca is 16 and
he’s the total opposite of me. He’s
blue-eyed, blonde and tall, while
I’m 1.49m and brunette. We were
both named after towns in Italy.
He’s really into skiing, inventing
and downhill mountain biking.
He made a flame thrower the
other day. I have a weird family.
It sounds like you’ve had an
insanely interesting upbringing!
What else do you love
outside of music?
I love going to the beach and I
love skiing. I did ski racing from
about seven-years-old at Mt
Hutt. We used to go skiing every
single weekend in winter from
when I was seven to 12. I did it
competitively and placed third
in the South Island when I was
younger.
Where to next for you? Where
do you want to end up?
I’m going to the US to film
a music video for my album
next month, then London for
a month, Ho Chi Minh City in
Vietnam after that, and then Bali
all before the end of the year.
Eventually I want to be able to
tour with my albums. I’ve
started on my second album
which is going to be completely
different with a different vibe. To
be a musician as a full time job
is the goal. I’m always aiming
for the top, I’m just that kind of
person. I’ve always written for
bigger things because if you don’t
think you’re going to be big or
don’t have that in your mind,
how are you ever going to get
there?

The Black Widow by Daniel Silva
No. 1 New York Times bestselling author Daniel Silva delivers another spellbinding
international thriller - one that finds the legendary Gabriel Allon grappling with an
ISIS mastermind. A network of terror. A web of deceit. A deadly game of vengeance.
Legendary spy and art restorer Gabriel Allon is poised to become the chief of Israel’s
secret intelligence service. But on the eve of his promotion, events conspire to lure him
into the field for one final operation. ISIS has detonated a massive bomb in the Marais
district of Paris, and a desperate French government wants Gabriel to eliminate
the man responsible before he can strike again. They call him Saladin…
He is a terrorist mastermind whose ambition is as grandiose as his
nom de guerre, a man so elusive that even his nationality is not
known. Shielded by sophisticated encryption software, his network
communicates in total secrecy, leaving the West blind to his
planning-and leaving Gabriel no choice but to insert an agent into
the most dangerous terrorist group the world has ever known. The
Black Widow is a riveting thriller of shocking prescience. But it is
also a thoughtful journey into the new heart of darkness that will
haunt readers long after they have turned the final page. ‘Literate,
top-notch action’ Kirkus Reviews ‘Forget James Bond - Gabriel Allon is
the killer you’d want on your side’ Australian Women’s Weekly ‘Allon is a
great political operative, but Silva is an even greater writer’ Huffington Post.
The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo
by Amy Schumer
Amy Schumer. Frank, fearless and so freaking funny. Her story. In her own words.
‘I’ve only had one one-night stand in my life. Yes, one. I know, I’m so sorry to
disappoint anyone who thinks I walk around at all times with a margarita in one hand
and a dildo in the other.’ In The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo, Amy shares stories
about her family, her relationships, her career, good – and bad – sex, recounting the
experiences that have shaped who she is today: from the riches to rags story of her
childhood to her teenage quest for popularity (and boys) to becoming one of the most
sought-after comedians on the planet and an outspoken advocate for women’s rights.
Whether she’s experiencing lust at first sight in the queue at the airport, discovering her
boot camp instructor’s secret bad habit, or candidly discussing her father’s multiple
sclerosis, Amy Schumer proves to be a fearless, original, and always entertaining
storyteller. Her book will move you, make you laugh, catch you completely off guard,
and answer this burning question: is it okay for a 35-year-old woman to still sleep
with her childhood teddy bears? “Amy’s got your back. She’s in your corner. She’s
an honesty bomb. And she’s coming for you.” - Actress Tilda Swinton, Trainwreck
co-star “A powerful feminist voice.” - Guardian “Equal parts naughty cheerleader,
self-deprecating Everywoman and fearless truth-teller, Ms. Schumer connects with
women and men alike.” - New York Times “Wickedly funny and brilliantly talented.
Amy Schumer is everything right now.” - Glamour

who were not even known to
them. This relief was turned to
sadness when the news emerged
that a person had in fact died
in this fire. He was living –
unbeknownst to the two women
– in a shed at the back of the
otoring
property.
For me, it was a tragic reminder
of two things – firstly,
the need for people to be housed
in safe homes and secondly, the
need for us all to look out for
TRAGIC: One person died in the Woolston fire.

each other. This man lost his
life because he was not living in
a safe home and no one knew he
was there.
For those of us who are
fortunate enough to have
a home, we still need to do
everything we can to make our
homes as safe as possible. That
includes making sure that we
have smoke alarms and, if they
are not wired into your home,
that they have batteries that
work!
Some people find it helpful
to change batteries on a given
weekend – like Easter and Labour
weekend. I am amazed at
how many people hear the beeping
of a flat battery and take the
smoke alarm down and put it on
the bench with the battery out.
It won’t work like that!
We are so fortunate to have
our dedicated firefighters – both
volunteers and professional –
who use their skills and courage
day after day to rescue people
from fires. Let’s make their
job easier and our lives safer
by getting those smoke alarms
installed – with live batteries!
And thanks to all our firefighters
for all that you do – you
don’t do it for thanks but you
certainly deserve it!
Take care of each
other on the waters
• BY GARY MANCH,
NAVIGATIONAL SAFETY OFFICER,
LYTTELTON
AS I am sitting at my desk
writing this article, the winter
has arrived, there is a dusting
of snow on Mt Herbert and it’s
raining, but the funny thing is,
the harbour is still a beautiful
place even on the cold miserable
days.
For those of you, who are
hardy enough to carry on boating
throughout the year, remember
to wear appropriate warm
and waterproof clothing. Cold
weather can affect your body in
different ways. Your body can
also lose heat faster than you can
produce it.
The result is hypothermia,
or abnormally low body temperature.
It can make you sleepy,
confused and clumsy. Because
it happens gradually and affects
your thinking, you may
not realize you need help. That
makes it especially dangerous.
Anyone who spends much time
outdoors in cold weather can get
hypothermia.
So if you are out on the boat,
keep an eye on each other and
if you see the conditions I have
mentioned, get the person into a
sheltered area, keep them warm
and dry and seek medical help
urgently.
During the winter, my job
changes slightly and I spend
more time catching up on
paper work from the summer,
completing maintenance of our
signs, buoys and posts throughout
the region, so they are spick
and span for the oncoming
season, some of our signs are
getting a little old, and I can
assure you there is a replacement
programme in progress for
them, we have put off some work
until the current Navigation
Safety Bylaw review is complete,
as I certainly do not want to be
spending ratepayers’ money on
signage, only to have to replace
it again with a sign that reflects
changes, if any to the new bylaw.
If you are out and about and
do see a sign that relates to our
Navigation Safety Bylaws, that
has been damaged or vandalised,
please let me know so I can
arrange a replacement.
Lastly as I am in a
philosophical moment,
remember this “someone who
views the world the same at 50 as
he did at 20, has wasted 30 years
of their life,” (Muhmmad Ali).
Be careful out there.

A reader responds to a
letter from another reader
regarding littering and dog
faeces issues at Lyttelton
Recreation Ground
News
Cherry Daly:
In response to Joanne
Dunningham regarding dogs in
public areas.
I am fascinated to know just
precisely how Ms Dunningham
and her ilk would like dog
owners to clean up after their dog
urinates in the park (or anywhere
else for that matter). Tiny catheter
bags, perhaps? And while we’re at
Fashion
it, what about colostomy bags for
all dogs so their owners have to
clean up after them?
Facetious, yes! And I clean up
after my dog scrupulously and
often collect other dog’s leavings as
well and, yes, I do find it frustrating
that people won’t clean up after
their dogs. But personally I think
Gardening
that dogs are absolutely entitled to
equal time in parks as children –
they are beloved family members
just the same and entitled to
exercise and play in the open air as
are the human variety. And believe
me I have seen children perform
their natural functions in parks as
well – I hope my dog doesn’t catch
anything!
Motoring
This is a light-hearted letter
about a serious problem, and I
am not talking about dogs and
their functions. I think people are
far too precious about their little
angels these days – I would like
a dollar for every dog dropping I
stepped into as a child and I seem
to have attained the age of 58
quite healthily! If that is the worst
thing that ever happens to your
child, consider yourself lucky in
this day and age.
There will always be dogs and
people who love dogs in society
and long may they all prosper, in
spite of the haters.
A reader responds to
Eugenie Sage’s column
Robert Patterson:
I fail to reconcile with the
eastern vision on the future of the
Avon River residential red zone as
mentioned by Eugenie Sage.
What with global warming, the
loss of the land for open space
which could be better used for
agriculture/horticulture etc. All
what they are proposing will create
more problems let alone costs
to the ratepayers than they would
have imagined.
What’s required is a decentsized
channel for sporting
and recreational use, with the
excavation spoils creating stop
banks as walkways, landscaped
in exotics which have far more
character and pleasing to the
eye rather than natives, where
nothing grows under them but
mosquitoes, vermin, dumping
ground for rubbish etc, even
bodies.
Also with global warming the
last thing we want is swamps full
of the likes of mosquitoes.
This is Christchurch and
Canterbury, is it not.
A reader responds to last
week’s article on the Moa
Cave pedestrian access
Chelsea Halliwell:
I’m just reading your article in
Bay Harbour News about the Moa
Cave footpath, I was pleased to
read that other residents are also
concerned, and I really don’t thing
it’s good enough that there will
not be a safe access point for the
many children who get to school
that way.
I sent the email below to the
city council last week after talking
to their call centre, but I haven’t
heard back. This is a real concern
for those of us with young children
who will need to cross that road,
particularly as there are sunstrike
issues on that road for much of the
year in the afternoon.
With the amount of remediation
work currently being
undertaken on the rocks above
that footpath, it won’t take much
more to reinstate the footpath.
Take a look at the work being
done for Peacocks Gallop for an
example of what is possible in the
name of safety.
The residual risk would be
all but removed but the risk of
crossing that busy road will be
real every day. Thanks for your
support.
Rotary award for
Sumner lifesaver
• By Barbara Crooks
ONE OF Sumner’s brightest
surf lifesavers has earned a
major Rotary award for his
leadership and role-modelling
skills.
Ferrymead Rotary presented
Seb Johnson with a Yong Totara
award in recognition of his
leadership in the Sumner Surf
Lifesaving Club, and in the surf
lifesaving movement.
He is involved in the training
and development of junior lifesavers
and is recognised as an
excellent role model. He is also
a peer leader at his secondary
school.
Seb has been chosen in
New Zealand’s 12-strong (six
males and six females) team to
compete in the world under-19
surf lifesaving championships
in the Netherlands.
The Young Totara award is an
initiative of Rotary New Zealand.
Rotary clubs are encouraged
to seek out young people
who display strength of character,
courage of conviction, care
of community and pursuit of
excellence. Rotary believes that
WELL-EARNED: Ferrymead
Rotary president Kathryn
Tovgaard and Russell Irving,
with Seb Johnson at the
presentation of his Young
Totara award.
recognising young people with
these qualities can promote and
encourage positive role models
for their peers.
As well as a certificate,
recipients receive a totara tree
which is seen as an appropriate
symbol of leadership and
strength. The totara is one of
New Zealand’s largest native
trees, and its timber was prized
by Maori as the best for building
their massive war canoes.
Maori also speak of the totara
and its common ancestry with
the people. They consider it a
living elder and therefore, a
sacred tree symbolising respect.

James St Pre-school had a very exciting morning last Friday when they inspected bugs. One
pupil’s parent, Regan Courtney, came to pre-school to talk about his job. He is an entomologist,
and he brought several insect displays for the children to look at. These displays contained a
huge variety of bugs, ranging from lady-bugs, mosquitos and monarch butterflies to a tarantula
and an enormous moth. Mr Courtney also brought a container with mosquito larva in water, and
all the children were given the opportunity to suck a larva out of the water with a pipet and squirt
it in a small jar. The children got to take their little jars home so they could watch the larva turn
into a mosquito.

NEW HEIGHTS: Our Lady Star of the Sea’s year 7 and 8
rugby team is taking their grade by storm having only lost
one of their matches this season. The team is made up of an
assortment of talented hockey, soccer, ice hockey and rugby
players. At the beginning of the year many of these boys had
never played rugby before but wanted the chance to play
together in the same team at the Canterbury Primary Rugby
competition each Friday.
VICTORIOUS: The Ferrymead Bays masters division 1 football
team, Baby Blues, took out the league competition. This

difference of 40 goals.

A LITTLE River resident
will travel to Rotterdam,
Netherlands, to compete
in an international rowing
championship this month.
Jack Lopas, 17, will compete as
part of the double sculls team.
“Both my parents, uncles and
grandad rowed so I got into it
through them. My grandad and
dad took me out on a single one
day to have a go and I really
enjoyed so it went from there,”
Jack said.
He started rowing at 14 and
moved from Lincoln High
School to Christchurch Boys’
High School and joined the rowing
squad soon after.
There he teamed up with
fellow student Angus Foster to
create a title-winning duo.
“This year at club nationals
we won the under-19 double
sculls and at Maadi we won the
under-18 double. There we were
also a part of teams that won
the under-18 quad and placed
third in the under-18 eight,” Jack
said.
He also won the under-18 single
and was selected to trial with
the New Zealand junior rowing
squad.
During his trial, he managed
to beat Olympic medallist Hamish
Bond’s 2km rowing machine
record he set while trialling for
the New Zealand squad.
“The record was 6.03 seconds
and I got 5.57 seconds,” he said.
STROKE OF SUCCESS: Jack Lopas, 17, is off to an international
rowing championship this month.
This is the second time he’s
made the junior team having
been selected last year, but he
and Angus only made it as the
reserve duo for the competing
duo.
“It was an experience but we
were in as reserves. But this year,
we’re the top double so it’s a
chance to go out there and
do the best we can. We’ve got
good potential this year,” Jack
said.
He trains at least seven times a
week often peaking at 12 trainings
a week.
His schedule consists of lots of
early mornings, gym sessions,
on-water trainings and rowing
machines.
“It’s very intense.”
Jack and Angus will fly out
this Friday in preparation for the
competition taking place August
21-28.
“It’s pretty exciting. It’s been
quite a long time coming and
we’re definitely ready for this.”

Music-inspired design takes award
Gardening
• By Annabelle Dick
A GOVERNORS Bay resident’s
collection based on a Miles
Davis album has taken away
top spot in menswear design at
the Hokonui Fashion Design
Awards with his jazz-influenced
collection.
Will Roper, 19, of Ara Institute
Motoring
of Canterbury, entered two looks
into the menswear category the competition Gore at the
weekend.
The fashion school’s secondyear
students swept up all the
awards for the menswear section
with Pera-Kate May, second,
Rachel Bell, third, and Merrin
Tasty
Mortimer, fourth.
Bites
Mr Roper said it was a big
shock and he was really stoked
with the result.
“I was really surprised, I’ve
never won any awards,” he said.
His winning look was a pair of
mid-calf, tailored trousers with a
double pleated front, turtle neck
jumper and oversized doublebreasted
wool suit jacket.
Money
His collection ‘Sanctuary’
is based Miles Davis’ 1970
album ‘Bitches Brew’.
In the late 60s-early 70s Davis
started to move away from pure
jazz that made him famous and
he started to experiment with
different sounds.
“He was one of the first people
to add different instruments into
jazz so when people think of jazz
they think of horns, saxophones,
drums and double bass - but he
added in electric guitars, marimbas,
synthesizers and all different
sorts of things,” Mr Roper said.
“His music still took its influence
from jazz but it’s not jazz
anymore it’s something different
he created. I wanted to take the
same concept and apply it to
tailoring – tailoring is a very
traditional aspect of clothing
just like jazz and they’re both
considered quite fancy. I wanted
to add new media to my clothes
like he added new instruments

to his music.”
Mr Roper has a big love for
music, art history, psychology
and science - he often draws on
his interests by including aspects
of them in the collections he
creates.
His next collection is based on
Miles Davis’ 1959 album ‘Kind
of Blue’ where he experiments
with the colour blue, blues
music, modern artists use of blue
and comfort wear.
He is also reading a paper on
abstract algebra which he hopes
to draw on for future looks.
“I think that would be really
cool to apply to a collection. I
want to have all the patterns and
measurements have significance
like have all the measurements
be the golden ratio or pi.”
Mr Roper is in his second year
at Ara’s fashion school gaining a
Bachelor of Design.
He hopes to create his own
label in the future.

once you have done so.

loosely in foil and leave them to

Mix the mustard and
mayonnaise, then spread across
the upper side of the meat.
Salad: Cook the broccoli in
boiling salted water for about 4
minutes, then drain and set aside
in a warm bowl.
Chop and seed the tomatoes,
then add to the broccoli. Chop
the garlic and tarragon finely,

lengths.
Mix the herbs with the oil,
lemon juice and almonds, then

HealTH & BeauTY
Keeping TracK
Of YOur HealTH
Lets take a look at the new fitness sensation Fitbit. What is it and
how does it work? Most importantly,
how do we incorporate it into our fitness regime?
Fitbit consists of a family of products
designed to track every part of your day
– including activity, exercise, food, weight
and sleep – to help you stay motivated,
and see how small steps make a big
impact. There’s something for every taste,
budget and technical requirement from
the everyday category of wrist bands to
performance-specific watches.
All Fitbit products track steps, distance,
calories burned and active minutes. All
but the most basic Fitbit also track sleep
patterns. At the performance end of the
range you’ll also have access to things
like heart rate and GPS tracking. All of
the products feature wireless syncing and
online and mobile tools, such as the Fitbit
app to help track your exercise, sleep,
hydration and food, and connect with
friends.
Seeing your progress can really help
you realise what’s possible, and investing
in a Fitbit may help to take you on the
next step of your health and fitness
journey.
Fitbit was built on the premise that
fitness is not just about gym time; it’s
about all the time. So, it can be a great
addition to your fitness regime.
There are many things to consider when choosing a
health and fitness regime to follow through with.
for example:
• What type of exercise to choose: indoor, outdoor or a mixture of both? Running, walking,
cycling, swimming, yoga, pilates, dancing, group fitness, a team sport, or something else?
• Who to exercise with: just yourself, with a buddy, in a group, or to enlist the help of a
personal trainer?
• What nutrition guidelines to follow: enlist the help of a nutritionist, or just cut back on
processed food, for example?
• Balance: how will you ensure you get a good balance of enough rest and recovery as well as
the right frequency, duration and intensity of exercise?
• Motivation: how will you motivate yourself to get out the door in the first place?!
Professional advice from a registered exercise professional should always be your first port
of call. They can help get you set up with an appropriate personalised programme, help you
with exercise techniques, and help you stay accountable to your goals.
Once you’re in the swing of things you may find you want some extra assistance to ramp
up your progress towards your goals. investing in a Fitbit could help you to achieve this,
especially if you’re a ‘details’ person who likes to be well organised and able to measure
progress from
each and every workout. Similarly, if you find you’re in a bit of a rut and could do with a
mini accountability ‘buddy’, then a Fitbit could be
just the ticket.

Experts restore that
“winning smile”
Meeting people for the first
time, interacting with others on social
occasions, going for a job interview – in
all these situations your smile is the most
important part of you.
or perhaps, on a lighter note, you
might be scaring yourself with your ‘selfie’
because your smile is not as attractive as it
should be, due to missing or broken teeth.
perhaps it’s time for a visit to Denture
South in Barrington, where the experts
can give you that winning smile back.
Clinical technician Andrew Johnson
and his team of clinical and lab
technicians are fully focused on providing
customised service at their Barrington
clinic, and will take all the time needed
to fulfill your partial or full denture
requirements whether you want an even,
bright smile or a more natural-looking
one.
For people who have had dentures for a
while and are finding they frequently need
to buy denture adhesive to keep them in
place, Andrew advises having the dentures
relined so they will fit better. As he points
out, the money spent on denture adhesive
over 12 months would easily cover the
cost of having your dentures refitted.
Denture South has been providing a full
range of denture services for the residents
of Christchurch for over 13 years. These
services include first-time immediate
dentures, full replacement dentures,
partial plates and sports mouth-guards.
Many Denture South clients come
through word-of-mouth referral, an
indication of the level of satisfaction that’s
provided there. Friendly, approachable
and highly skilled, the Denture South
team enjoys helping people with all their
denture fitting, ongoing care and denture
maintenance requirements.
