PAGE 2 BAY HARBOUR Wednesday August 17 2016 Inside FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK News................. 3, 5, 6 & 12 IT IS that time in the three-year cycle where we exercise our democratic vote to decide who will be our representatives on the city council – well almost. THis time around we won’t need to vote for the role of city councillor because Cr Andrew Turner was the only person running for Banks Peninsula, meaning he gets in uncontested. Be interesting to see if the boundary changes in the ward played a part in this, or if it is because the ward is happy with Cr Turner’s performance. Sumner artist Anneke Stewart is “Our People” this week. Interestingly, she failed university entrance for art so she took a year off, snowboarded by day and painted by night then got into the Elam School of Fine Arts – a great example of pursuing your dream no matter the obstacles you face. – Shelley Robinson Stars on the rugby field punch above their weight SPORT 16 Your Local Views.........4 Our People...................10,11 Schools....................................8 Local Sport.....................16 Bridal Show.......................21 Community Events.....23 Health & Beauty.........24 Real Estate........................ 25 GET IN TOUCH General Enquiries Ph 379-7100 Classified Advertising Ph 379-1100 starmedia.kiwi Annabelle Dick. 03 364 7497 annabelle.dick@starmedia.kiwi NEWS SPORTS ADVERTISING ADVERTISING Fraser Walker-Pearce.

Wednesday August 17 2016 News No contest for candidate in Banks Peninsula Ward • By Annabelle Dick Andrew Turner Sara Templeton Paul Lonsdale Elections 16 ANDREW TURNER won’t have to campaign for re-election in the local body elections in October – no one is standing against him in the Banks Peninsula Ward. The sitting city councillor will be elected unopposed. There will also be other walkovers. In the Lyttelton subdivision, Jed O’Donoghue and Christine Wilson (Independent) will be elected unopposed for the two vacancies. In the Mt Herbert subdivision, Felix Dawson (Independent) and John McLister also fill the vacancies unopposed. Tori Peden is the only candidate for the Wairewa subdivision of the board. But there will be a contest in the Akaroa community subdivision, with Janis Haley, Keith Molloy and Pam Richardson vying for the two positions. Meanwhile, the Heathcote Ward sees sitting city councillor Paul Lonsdale (Independent), Sara Templeton (Strong Communities for a Stronger Christchurch) and Malcolm George Davis (Independent) vying for a seat at the council table. Running for the newly-formed Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community Board are: Darrell Latham (Independent), Tim Lindley (For Communities You’ll Love To Live In), Rosemary Neave (The People’s Choice – Independent) and Una O’Grady (The People’s Choice) will all vie for the two positions in the Heathcote Ward. Voting is by postal ballot with forms being sent out on September 16, the polls close at noon on October 8. For a full list of who is running for other wards and community boards visit www.electionz.com/ LGENominations/ELT60CC16_ candidates.htm A DELUGE system is expected to be installed in Lyttelton Tunnel early next year to improve safety in the event of a fire. The system will help control and prevent the spread of fire and reduce heat damage to the tunnel. It will also protect the lives of anyone in the tunnel and tunnel control staff. Currently, the Lyttelton Tunnel does not have an automated fire control system and New Zealand Transport Agency think a deluge system will mitigate the risk. “A deluge system has been identified as an appropriate way to improve our ability to control a fire, improve safety and protect the tunnel,” said NZTA state highway manager Colin Knaggs. One of the main fire risks is fuel-carrying tankers that now travel through the tunnel, as the previous dangerous goods route, Evans Pass, was closed after the 2011 earthquake. Hazard materials often see the tunnel closed for short periods of time, but that will become less frequent. “It is intended that once Evans Pass is reopened then BAY HARBOUR PAGE 3 Deluge system to improve tunnel safety dangerous goods will revert to using this route,” Mr Knaggs said. Three rows of nozzles will be installed along the length of the tunnel roof and tunnel-use restrictions will be in place while the work is carried out. The agency will work with the community to find ways to limit tunnel closing times. “We want to close night-times to minimise the disruption for everyone. Residents will be advised of closures and one-way nights well in advance of these happening,” Mr Knaggs said. Emergency services will be guaranteed full access during the closures and opening will coincide with shift changes at the port. The work is estimated to take 18 months to complete. TREE TROUBLE?
