Residents want better<br />

police coverage in port<br />

• By Annabelle Dick<br />

Heathcote Valley<br />

FRUSTRATED Lyttelton<br />

residents want more police<br />

presence to deter burglars and<br />

thieves.<br />

Residents Brett Partel and Paul<br />

Dietsche addressed the Lyttelton-Mt<br />

Herbert Community<br />

Board last week after hearing<br />

concerns from other people<br />

about the increase in crime in<br />

the port.<br />

Mr Partel had his trailer stolen<br />

from his Cressy Tce property in<br />

July and said he knows of another<br />

five trailers that have been<br />

taken from the area.<br />

Mr Dietsche said residents<br />

have told him about vandalism<br />

and fuel siphoning from cars,<br />

and work vehicles that have had<br />

tools stolen from them.<br />

“It’s worrisome – we love living<br />

here and we love the community<br />

so we want to see if something<br />

can be done,” Mr Dietsche said.<br />

They want police on call in<br />

Lyttelton outside of the current<br />

8am-5pm Monday to Friday coverage,<br />

and CCTV cameras placed<br />

in the port.<br />

Police from Christchurch cover<br />

the area outside of the hours<br />

above.<br />

Five officers and a supervisor<br />

are based at Lyttelton.<br />

The pair want police to pour<br />

more resources into the community<br />

and see CCTV cameras<br />

installed to deter burglars.<br />

“I see not having a full-time<br />

police station as being an issue,<br />

I can’t get hold of them, when I<br />

have issues I have to phone up<br />

central to get put through to<br />

Lyttelton police. They don’t answer<br />

the phone, they don’t return<br />

messages,” Mr Partel said.<br />

Senior Sergeant Stephen<br />

McDaniel told the community<br />

board police had to stick to<br />

budgets when allocating resources.<br />

He said police from<br />

Christchurch can easily attend<br />

when Lyttelton-based police<br />

couldn’t.<br />

Senior Sergeant McDaniel<br />

suggested introducing CPTED<br />

(Criminal prevention through<br />

environmental design) to the<br />

area which involves retrofitting<br />

the town to make it less susceptible<br />

to crime.<br />

London St businesses including<br />

Civil & Naval, The Shroom<br />

Room and Lyttelton Coffee<br />

Company are just a few of several<br />

businesses who have been burgled<br />

in the past few months.<br />

Shroom Room staff member<br />

Lisa Isbiter said the cafe was hit<br />

twice two months ago and a till<br />

was stolen which contained a<br />

year’s tip collection.<br />

Civil & Naval had two kegs<br />

of beer stolen from their site on<br />

July 27.<br />

Owner Louis Dyer said there’s<br />

a security system installed but<br />

the kegs were situated out back<br />

away from the camera’s view.<br />

Senior Sergeant McDaniel said<br />

residents could help themselves<br />

by not becoming easy targets for<br />

burglars and thieves, like hiding<br />

trailers from sight, and locking<br />

Lyttelton<br />

BURGLARY VICTIM: Civil & Naval owner Louis<br />

Dyer says opportunists are taking advantage<br />

of local businesses. Residents want to see the<br />

police station manned longer and officers out<br />

in force more often to reduce burglaries in the<br />

area.<br />

“There’s a lot of opportunists<br />

out there – a lot of people<br />

who commit crimes aren’t out<br />

there to do it, they just see the<br />

opportunity and take it,” Senior<br />

Sergeant McDaniel said.<br />

The community board is looking<br />

to install a mobile camera to<br />

move around crime hot spots.<br />

THe police have a tough job and<br />

the community should, and do,<br />

get behind the boys, and girls, in<br />

blue who generally do a sterling<br />

job.<br />

But there are grumbles in<br />

Lyttelton because people there<br />

don’t think they are getting the<br />

service they need (see page 1).<br />

There has been a spate of thefts<br />

and burglaries in the past year,<br />

which prompted residents Brett<br />

Partel and Paul Dietsche to go<br />

to the Lyttelton-Mt Herbert<br />

Community Board to air their<br />

concerns.<br />

They want police based in the<br />

bays area seven days a week.<br />

And they don’t seem to return<br />

calls either – to the <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong><br />

News anyway. We tried to get<br />

Lyttelton police to respond to a<br />

number of questions for this issue<br />

– but they haven’t called back.<br />

The residents probably have a<br />

good case. – Barry Clarke<br />

High levels of air pollution<br />

• By Annabelle Dick<br />

AN AIR quality report shows<br />

there has been a spike in air<br />

pollution in Lyttelton during<br />

winter.<br />

The Environment Canterbury<br />

report, which measured gases<br />

and particles, showed an<br />

increase in PM10 and PM2.5<br />

particles.<br />

ECan measured air quality<br />

daily from January <strong>2016</strong> and<br />

results showed that PM10 levels<br />

breached the National Environmental<br />

Standard four times in<br />

June.<br />

PM10 are coarse particles that<br />

often come from dust and sea<br />

salt and in high concentrations,<br />

can cause respiratory health<br />

problems including coughing,<br />

wheezing, asthma attacks and<br />

bronchitis.<br />

The report also showed PM2.5<br />

levels were over the World<br />

Health Organisation’s guideline<br />

four times in June as well.<br />

PM2.5 are fine particles that<br />

come from combustion sources<br />

like woodburners and vehicles<br />

and are considered more severe.<br />

These particles can reach the<br />

deepest region of the lungs and<br />

short term exposure in high<br />

amounts can worsen lung and<br />

heart conditions and increase<br />

deaths and hospital admissions.<br />

ECan senior air quality analyst<br />

Teresa Aberkane said the<br />

spike in PM levels might have to<br />

do with weather conditions.<br />

“We do see coarse particles all<br />

time – just not the exceedances.<br />

They happen when there’s very<br />

little wind and Lyttelton is calm<br />

over winter so it might just be<br />

something that happens during<br />

that season,” Ms Aberkane said.<br />

Lyttelton-Mt Herbert Community<br />

Board chairwoman<br />

Paula Smith asked ECan specialists<br />

if they were concerned<br />

about the frequency of high<br />

levels.<br />

“It’s unusual – I haven’t come<br />

across a situation like this before,”<br />

Ms Aberkane said.<br />

Concentrations of gases and<br />

particles are measured every<br />

minute along with wind and<br />

temperature at a site on Norwich<br />

Quay.<br />

ECan analysts believe the pollution<br />

could be related to road<br />

usage.<br />

“We’re not sure what the<br />

source is . . . it could possibly be<br />

movements on the road picking<br />

up dust,” Ms Aberkane said.<br />

The New Zealand Transport<br />

Agency’s updated Lyttelton<br />

Tunnel Bylaw comes into affect<br />

on September 1 and ECan staff<br />

believe this should have an effect<br />

Teresa<br />

Aberkane<br />

AIR QUALITY<br />

WOES: PM<br />

levels have<br />

spiked in<br />

Lyttelton over<br />

winter.<br />

on the poor air quality readings.<br />

The changes mean that vehicles<br />

transporting loose material<br />

like sand, soil or fertiliser must<br />

be covered both before and after<br />

load delivery to reduce dust and<br />

dirt in the tunnel.<br />

The air quality analysts expect<br />

the bylaw will mean a drop in<br />

particular matter in Lyttelton<br />

and will publish the results in<br />

their next quarterly report.<br />

Nitrogen dioxide, sulphur<br />

dioxide and carbon monoxide<br />

concentrations were also measured<br />

and were well below the<br />

National Environmental Standards<br />

for air quality and Ambient<br />

Air Quality Guidelines.<br />

In Brief<br />

WOMAN INJURED IN CRASH<br />

A woman was left with minor<br />

injuries after a crash in Charteris<br />

<strong>Bay</strong> on Monday. The car hit a<br />

bank and was the only vehicle<br />

involved.<br />

NEW SITE FOR MUSEUM<br />

Lyttelton Historical Museum<br />

Society will be gifted a city<br />

council site to build a new<br />

museum. The society made a<br />

deputation to the city council<br />

alongside the Lyttelton-Mt<br />

Herbert Community Board<br />

which resulted in a principle<br />

decision to gift the land to the<br />

museum society after its building<br />

was lost in the February 22, 2011,<br />

earthquake. The society will build<br />

on the old service centre site at<br />

33 London St after a final report<br />

with the decision is created.<br />

FREEDOM CAMPER BYLAW<br />

The city council is asking for<br />

public feedback on proposed<br />

changes to the Freedom Camping<br />

Bylaw. The amended bylaw<br />

proposes to ban all non-selfcontained<br />

freedom camping<br />

throughout the district but the<br />

law would allow certified selfcontained<br />

camping without a<br />

time restriction in rural zones.<br />

Public feedback on the proposal is<br />

being sought until September 15,<br />

and a full review of the bylaw is<br />

scheduled for next year.<br />

(Strong Communities<br />

Paul Lonsdale<br />

St John calls for help<br />

TRACK<br />

• By Annabelle Dick<br />

THE ST John Banks Peninsula<br />

area chairman is trying to<br />

recruit residents to help in<br />

frontline emergency services.<br />

Pete Dawson made a deputation<br />

to the Lyttelton-Mt Herbert<br />

Community Board to ask for<br />

their support in getting the<br />

community involved in paramedic<br />

services.<br />

Drivers and people willing<br />

to be trained in emergency<br />

responses are being sought.<br />

Lyttelton had their two<br />

ambulances taken from the area<br />

in 2014 and earlier this year to<br />

fulfil a need for more emergency<br />

services in the city centre.<br />

The area now has a fourwheel-drive<br />

first response unit<br />

to treat patients on the ground<br />

before they’re backed up by an<br />

ambulance.<br />

Mr Dawson isn’t upset about<br />

the ambulances being removed,<br />

as the city needs them more<br />

than the harbour area does.<br />

“The workload is such around<br />

the city that there’s no<br />

justification for it to be in<br />

Lyttelton where there isn’t a big<br />

workload. They can be dealt<br />

with by an ambulance in the<br />

city or by a first response unit,”<br />

he said.<br />

FIRST RESPONSE: St John is asking for residents’ help after Lyttelton’s two ambulances were<br />

replaced by a four-wheel-drive unit.<br />

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN ​<br />

The first response vehicle acts<br />

as an ambulance but cannot<br />

transport patients to the city.<br />

But Mr Dawson said there’s<br />

no staff to drive the unit and<br />

administer first aid to residents<br />

and now he’s campaigning for<br />

community participation.<br />

“We’ve got the vehicle but<br />

not the people. Lyttelton can be<br />

completely isolated and we feel<br />

the community needs some sort<br />

of response because if there’s<br />

Sara TEMPLETON<br />

• The latest Representation Review has<br />

divided the city into 16 wards, each with<br />

a single councillor. This was in response<br />

to the call by residents for better access<br />

to their representatives.<br />

• Our city needs councillors who<br />

live in and are connected to their<br />

wards, are experienced leaders,<br />

good listeners and believe in public<br />

service. I am one of those people<br />

and need your vote to do this work.<br />

an accident and no one can get<br />

there, there needs to be people<br />

within Lyttelton who can help,”<br />

Mr Dawson said.<br />

St John cannot pay for staff<br />

as paid staff moved when the<br />

ambulances went to the city.<br />

Mr Dawson said instead<br />

St John will give people full<br />

training, ongoing support and<br />

uniforms and there’s no cost to<br />

the volunteer.<br />

He said he’s doing this to keep<br />

the resource within the community<br />

to make sure an emergency<br />

response is as close as possible.<br />

“We want to make sure that St<br />

John can continue its long history<br />

of saving lives in Lyttelton<br />

by going to the community<br />

and saying ‘we’re here to help<br />

you but you’ve got to help us as<br />

well’,” he said.<br />

St John has been serving Lyttelton<br />

and Banks Peninsula for<br />

more than 100 years.<br />

In Brief<br />

IMPROVEMENT<br />

Gravel has been laid on the Mt<br />

Vernon farm mountain bike<br />

track in the Port Hills to make<br />

it usable for residents. A spell of<br />

warm and dry weather allowed<br />

city council rangers to fix the<br />

track near Summit Rd, which was<br />

badly worn down in places and in<br />

need of maintenance. The rangers<br />

are responsible for recreation<br />

management in 40 reserves on the<br />

Port Hills and 90 different tracks<br />

that have 1.2 million visits each<br />

year.<br />

RESTORATION TOUR<br />

The McCormacks <strong>Bay</strong> Reserve<br />

Estuary Trust will provide a free<br />

guided tour of the reserve to show<br />

off the latest restoration work.<br />

Trust coordinator Tanya Jenkins<br />

has organised the tour on <strong>August</strong><br />

29 at 10.15am to show residents<br />

the work recently undertaken<br />

by the Mt Pleasant volunteer<br />

team. The tour will commence<br />

from the temporary Mt Pleasant<br />

Community Centre. Morning tea<br />

will be provided. If you would<br />

like to come along, please email<br />

coordinator@mpcc.org.nz<br />

DYERS RD DELAYS<br />

Road works on Dyers Rd may<br />

cause delays for residents. The two<br />

lanes have been maintained but<br />

temporary speed limits will be in<br />

place so expect slow traffic at peak<br />

times.<br />

earthquake. Annabelle<br />

Dick reports<br />

WYTZE HOEKSTRA has tuned<br />

the restored Steinway & Sons<br />

piano that sat in the Great Hall<br />

at the Christchurch Arts Centre.<br />

It’s been repaired following<br />

damage sustained when a block<br />

of masonry fell from the ceiling<br />

crushing the music rack.<br />

Mr Hoekstra said it was an<br />

emotional moment to see it<br />

again after he spent 15<br />

years tuning it prior to the<br />

quake.<br />

“It’s very special to see it fully<br />

restored and on stage,” he said.<br />

“Steinways are a beautiful<br />

instrument and there’s been<br />

many fond memories in the<br />

Great Hall associated with that<br />

piano.”<br />

The earthquakes damaged<br />

many grand pianos and concert<br />

venues, which meant Steinways<br />

had to be shared among the arts<br />

community.<br />

“Concert grand (pianos) travel<br />

around the city and are shared<br />

and we’d give them a fresh<br />

tune each concert,” Mr Hoekstra<br />

said.<br />

He owns and runs Hoekstra<br />

Pianos in Ferrymead, which is<br />

the only piano shop in the South<br />

Island, and he is one of only two<br />

qualified piano tuners in the city.<br />

The Netherlands native has<br />

been tuning pianos for more<br />

than 35 years and it only<br />

takes him about an hour to<br />

tune more than 200 individual<br />

strings.<br />

The piano made its return<br />

debut last Thursday at the<br />

St Andrew’s College jazz concert.<br />

Endeavour<br />

launched<br />

• By Annabelle Dick<br />

STARK BROS will launch<br />

their newest fishing trawler FV<br />

Endeavour next week.<br />

The 17.2m vessel weighs 125<br />

tonne and was designed and built<br />

by Stark Bros in their Lyttelton<br />

ship building facility for Ocean<br />

Fisheries Ltd.<br />

Stark Bros chief executive<br />

Andrew Stark said the boat is a<br />

multi-million dollar investment<br />

into one of the country’s core<br />

industries.<br />

“The sector provides the vast<br />

majority of New Zealand’s fresh<br />

fish and promotes fresh, sustainable,<br />

restaurant-quality fish for<br />

New Zealand and the world,” he<br />

said.<br />

The vessel houses an on-board<br />

salt water ice maker, split hydraulic<br />

winches and a suite of<br />

electronics.<br />

Mr Stark said the name<br />

Endeavour has strong historical<br />

links to Lyttelton and New<br />

Zealand and is the latest in a line<br />

Canterbury Business Award for<br />

its<br />

SPORTS<br />

The creative design agency is<br />

one of three small enterprises<br />

contending for the title of<br />

Champion Professional Service.<br />

Digital director Alice Moore<br />

said the company is really happy<br />

about the accolade.<br />

“It’s pretty exciting and the<br />

team is really stoked too. It’s<br />

good to have some recognition<br />

after all the hard work,” she said.<br />

“It’s a good way to get<br />

exposure.”<br />

Mint Design was nominated<br />

by a Canterbury Development<br />

Corporation employee and it<br />

will go up against two other<br />

local businesses – Go Media Ltd<br />

and Create IP for the title.<br />

Mint Design started in<br />

2010 and has 11 staff working<br />

for it.<br />

The design agency builds<br />

websites, online marketing<br />

campaigns and now makes<br />

online interactive virtual tours<br />

SCIRT programme on the home straight<br />

SCIRT’s five year programme of repairs to pipes, roads, bridges and retaining walls is<br />

almost complete and will finish in December.<br />

Most of our repairs involve fixing the city’s underground pipe networks with only small<br />

amount of our work focused on roads.<br />

Our roading work largely involves fixing where we have dug down to repair and replace<br />

the earthquake damaged pipes beneath. The result may look a little patchy but we repair<br />

roads to a reliable and serviceable standard.<br />

The City Council and NZ Transport Agency will continue completing ongoing repairs to the<br />

city's earthquake-damaged roads after SCIRT.<br />

Progress in your neighbourhood<br />

• The Beachville Road Seawall in Redcliffs is now complete with the roading due to finish<br />

next month.<br />

• Watermain repairs are progressing well in Governors <strong>Bay</strong> and will be completed this<br />

month.<br />

• Lyttelton is still busy with ongoing retaining wall repairs which are due to be completed in<br />

September, underground pipe and roading repairs will continue through in the area to the<br />

end of the year.<br />

Wednesday <strong>August</strong> <strong>24</strong> <strong>2016</strong><br />

Our People<br />

Programmes manager brings<br />

Naval Point Club Lyttelton programmes manager<br />

David Noakes has only been at his new job for a<br />

month. Before that he worked for Environment<br />

Canterbury, Department of Conservation and as an<br />

outdoor education teacher. Fraser Walker-Pearce<br />

talks to him about leading safaris across Africa,<br />

having Manchester United player Lee Sharpe as a<br />

cousin, and shooting travel pictures for the Sunday<br />

Telegraph<br />

Why did you take on the job at<br />

the Naval Point Club Lyttelton?<br />

One of the things we haven’t<br />

been good at is connecting with<br />

our immediate community. We<br />

have 1000 members and some<br />

local people don’t even know<br />

where our clubhouse is. We need<br />

to raise the profile of the club<br />

also. There’s a lot going on down<br />

there, but we haven’t had anyone<br />

to make the most of that.<br />

How long have you been on<br />

the job?<br />

I’ve only been here for a<br />

month. We’ve finally recognised<br />

the need to embrace other water<br />

users than sailors. We’re pushing<br />

for boating, jet skis, canoeing,<br />

kayaking, everything.<br />

Can you explain your new<br />

role?<br />

I’m responsible for the<br />

promotion, management and<br />

support of all activities for<br />

sailors, waka ama, power boats,<br />

stand-up paddle boarders,<br />

windsurfers, swimmers and<br />

other water based activities. I<br />

develop and promote junior<br />

programmes and also manage<br />

the club’s instructors. I’ve<br />

been here for a month exactly<br />

now.<br />

And what were you doing<br />

before that?<br />

I was at Environment<br />

Canterbury. I was compliance<br />

and monitoring, I ran a group<br />

of monitors who used to go out<br />

and do all the monitoring for<br />

Canterbury. I resigned in May<br />

and came here. I was no longer<br />

enjoying the job and wanted to<br />

try something new. We were the<br />

police for ECan. Nobody phones<br />

me up in the middle of the night<br />

saying my neighbour has a fire<br />

going on next door, which is<br />

nice. Before that I had a number<br />

of jobs, including being a travel<br />

photographer for the Sunday<br />

Telegraph with my partner at the<br />

time.<br />

You’re an MBA and a FRGS,<br />

what does that mean?<br />

I’ve got a masters degree in<br />

business administration. I come<br />

with a business background.<br />

I’ve been lucky with that really,<br />

CALMNESS: David<br />

Noakes has taken up the<br />

job as Naval Point Club<br />

Lyttelton’s programme<br />

manager after a long<br />

history of jobs.<br />

because it’s so general I can<br />

wealth of experience to job<br />

Good, that’s what we like to<br />

hear.<br />

Strangely, what I’ve found<br />

in New Zealand is that my<br />

qualification isn’t particularly<br />

great, which was a surprise.<br />

In America and the United<br />

Kingdom you can’t get your foot<br />

in the door without an MBA.<br />

Maybe the New Zealanders are<br />

more relaxed about it, I don’t<br />

know. The FRGS means that I’m<br />

a Fellow of the Royal Geographic<br />

Society. And that’s because of my<br />

nine years in the military. I was<br />

in the British military and also<br />

the French Foreign Legion. I was<br />

a paratrooper there.<br />

What did you do after that?<br />

I went into outdoor education,<br />

so ended up working for<br />

Outward Bound in New<br />

Zealand, Britain and Africa, and<br />

working with lots of schools<br />

around the world. And that’s<br />

what made me go to Africa. I led<br />

expeditions, 10-week expeditions<br />

in special trucks. Free camping,<br />

tents, animals, drinking, all that<br />

good stuff.<br />

What did you do when you<br />

came to New Zealand?<br />

I went to work for DoC on<br />

Raoul Island, which is the<br />

northern-most island owned<br />

by New Zealand. I worked as a<br />

WAKA AMA: The Naval Point Club Lyttelton’s new programme manager David Noakes is looking<br />

to expand the club into different sports such as waka ama.<br />

team leader which was one of the<br />

highlights of my career so far. It’s<br />

the second largest marine in the<br />

world, and it’s an active volcano.<br />

When did you decide to settle<br />

down and get a normal job?<br />

I was living in Havelock North<br />

for a while, and then saw this<br />

job advertised on the internet.<br />

I thought it looked really<br />

interesting and wanted to be<br />

involved in the rebuild. After the<br />

work with ECan, I moved down<br />

with my former partner and our<br />

10-year-old daughter and, no<br />

regrets, absolutely none.<br />

Did your partner at the time<br />

and your daughter enjoy it<br />

down here?<br />

My ex-partner goes back and<br />

forth from Amsterdam and every<br />

time she comes back she tells me<br />

how good it is to be back here,<br />

they both love it. They both want<br />

to stay.<br />

Do you have family still in<br />

England?<br />

Yes, my father and sister are<br />

still there. They’ve got that great<br />

fighting British spirit.<br />

How many countries have<br />

you lived in?<br />

I grew up in Malaysia in<br />

the 1960s, just outside Kuala<br />

Lumpur. I spent my formative<br />

years there, then went to<br />

Germany and Belgium and then<br />

Cyprus. So I got back to England<br />

as a 13-year-old and joined the<br />

army at age 15. I was accepted at<br />

17, then off I went to Germany,<br />

lots of countries in Africa, then<br />

Central America, got married in<br />

Australia and now I’m here.<br />

So it’s fair to say the only<br />

continent you haven’t been to is<br />

Antarctica?<br />

Apart from South America<br />

yes. I’d actually love to spend a<br />

winter in Antarctica, that’s on my<br />

bucket list. What an adventure<br />

that would be.<br />

What schools did you go to?<br />

Yes. Most of them were<br />

‘military’ schools. They weren’t<br />

military schools where you<br />

learn to be a soldier, it was for<br />

the children of soldiers in the<br />

army. Then eventually I went to<br />

the University of Manchester<br />

and the University of Waikato,<br />

and completed my masters in<br />

Liverpool.<br />

So if you’re from all over<br />

effectively, do you have a<br />

football team that you support?<br />

Yes, Chelsea. But the<br />

Chelsea from the 1970s when<br />

you could actually pronounce<br />

all of the players’ names, unlike<br />

today.<br />

That would have been<br />

interesting when you were in<br />

Manchester and Liverpool?<br />

The whole household are<br />

Manchester United fans because<br />

of my cousin Lee Sharpe.<br />

Your cousin is Lee Sharpe?<br />

Yes. He’s a great lad. He’s still<br />

over in England but we’re trying<br />

to bring him out here.<br />

What are your hobbies?<br />

I’ve kind of fallen off<br />

photography nowadays. My<br />

biggest passion is my 10-year-old<br />

girl. But my biggest interest<br />

now is getting this yacht club<br />

rocking. We’ve got so much to<br />

offer, so it’s my job to get that<br />

happening.<br />

Thanks Canterbury<br />

for your continued support

Tunnel cycleway idea<br />

gains momentum<br />

• By Tom Doudney<br />

A SUGGESTION that the<br />

Lyttelton Tunnel’s ventilation<br />

shaft could be opened up to<br />

cycle and pedestrian traffic is<br />

generating some interest among<br />

local cyclists.<br />

The idea was floated by<br />

Hillsborough resident Simon<br />

Dyer who said many people like<br />

himself would like to cycle to<br />

Lyttelton and the surrounding<br />

bays but weren’t up to going over<br />

the hill.<br />

“That tunnel is almost under<br />

utilised in so much as having a<br />

nice thoroughfare through there<br />

for bikes. I think the technical<br />

challenge is exciting,” Mr Dyer<br />

said.<br />

New Zealand Transport<br />

Agency maintenance contract<br />

manager Barry Stratton said the<br />

idea of a cycleway through the<br />

shaft had been raised before and<br />

was ruled out.<br />

“The dual ventilation shaft<br />

system within the Lyttelton Tunnel<br />

– in the ceiling area above<br />

the road tunnel – relies upon<br />

two large metal bulkhead doors<br />

in the middle of the tunnel to<br />

build the pressure needed for the<br />

ventilation exhaust removal and<br />

fresh air system to work,” Mr<br />

Stratton said.<br />

“Without these bulkhead<br />

doors, which effectively cut the<br />

tunnel into two halves, there will<br />

be no ventilation system.”<br />

Cashmere resident Roger<br />

Woods said he had suggested<br />

the same idea four years ago but<br />

dropped it after he and Deputy<br />

Mayor Vicki Buck, who wasn’t<br />

on the city council at the time,<br />

BOLD VISION:<br />

Hillsborough<br />

resident Simon<br />

Dyer supports<br />

a cycleway<br />

through the<br />

Lyttelton<br />

Tunnel.<br />

visited the shaft and realised the<br />

challenges.<br />

While he believed the technical<br />

problems could be solved, it<br />

was likely to be expensive and<br />

unlikely to be a popular route<br />

due to noise and vibrations from<br />

the traffic below. Health and<br />

safety in the event of a fire or<br />

some other accident in the tunnel<br />

would also be a concern.<br />

Traffic engineer Glen Koorey<br />

said Spokes Canterbury had also<br />

looked into the idea about 14<br />

years ago but it stalled.<br />

Economic indicators<br />

positive for Canty<br />

THE OUTLOOK for<br />

Christchurch’s economy<br />

remains positive with<br />

high levels of activity being<br />

forecast even as rebuild activity<br />

plateaus.<br />

Economic indicators in<br />

Canterbury Development<br />

Corporation’s latest<br />

Christchurch and Canterbury<br />

Quarterly Economic Report<br />

found that the economy<br />

remained in a transition<br />

phase as stimulus from<br />

rebuild activity was continuing<br />

to ease.<br />

Canterbury has had a run<br />

of several economic indicators<br />

well above their historic<br />

average levels, but several are<br />

now starting to move towards<br />

national trends.<br />

CDC chief executive Tom<br />

Hooper said it was important<br />

to focus on the high levels of<br />

activity still occurring around<br />

the city and region, in spite of<br />

GDP growth levels being lower<br />

than recent years.<br />

“Construction activity will<br />

remain high for some time to<br />

come, although it will no longer<br />

drive growth in the economy,”<br />

he said.<br />

Christchurch’s GDP growth<br />

in the year to March was 0.5<br />

per cent, with activity valued at<br />

$18.8 billion.<br />

Non-residential construction<br />

remained steady at 43 per cent<br />

of all construction activity<br />

in the March quarter, and<br />

was expected to be buoyed by<br />

upcoming projects such as the<br />

Convention Centre.<br />

The report showed the local<br />

housing market had been<br />

relatively cool compared to the<br />

rest of the country.<br />

Rents had continued to<br />

fall, with private sector mean<br />

rents at $383 in June <strong>2016</strong> –<br />

seven per cent lower than June<br />

last year. House prices have<br />

increased modestly, with a<br />

median sale price of $440,000<br />

in Christchurch compared to<br />

$500,000 nationally.<br />

“Lower housing prices<br />

combined with modest salary<br />

increases, on average, is driving<br />

an improvement in housing<br />

affordability which is great news<br />

for Christchurch,” Mr Hooper<br />

said.<br />

The most unsettling psychological thriller<br />

you’ll read this year<br />

A chilling psychological thriller about friendship, deception, betrayal and<br />

violence. Perfect for fans of THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN and GONE GIRL.<br />

Before, Edie is the friend that Heather has always craved. But<br />

one night, it goes terrifyingly wrong. And what started as an<br />

Sixteen years later, Edie is still rebuilding her life. But<br />

Heather isn’t ready to let her forget so easily. It’s no<br />

most. Now Edie or Heather? Heather or Edie? Someone<br />

Market Stays Strong<br />

Market Update News from Craig Prier<br />

It’s that time of year again when we see a genuine lift in properties coming to the market. Even<br />

though this winter has been particularly mild we find many home owners generally hold off<br />

bringing their property to the market until September as the days get longer and blossoms<br />

start to appear. Our office is getting huge numbers through the properties currently on the<br />

market, demonstrating there is still very high demand for property in the hill and seaside<br />

areas.<br />

Always worth considering before coming to the market are the three P’s of selling.<br />

Price, Presentation and Promotion. All three are tantamount to helping you achieve<br />

the result you are after, as is your choice of agent. Our team are well versed to offer<br />

you the right advice when it comes to working out the right way to present and promote<br />

your home as well as providing relevant market information in order for you to have the<br />

right price expectations. We have a current winter market update available for your interest.<br />

Just drop into our office on Humphreys Drive to pick one up, or we can happily post one straight<br />

to you. Call us today. We’re here to help.<br />

Top 5 interior trends that are making a come back<br />

this Summer.<br />

Brass Think a softer, antiqued version appearing on mirror<br />

frames, and fixtures rather than the shiny brass look back in<br />

the 90’s.<br />

Blue and White Simple, fresh and elegant, Apply it to modern<br />

patterns as part of an electric design scheme.<br />

Wall Paper Geometrics, modern florals or simple colour<br />

blocking will update the look of any room in the house.<br />

Orange A splash of orange here and there (careful not to go<br />

overboard) next to crisp whites and doses of bright blues.<br />

Accompanied by plenty of wood surfaces and natural textures<br />

to erase any hippie or disco vibes.<br />

Wood panelling Not just for mountain lodges and run down retro homes! Now days wood lined walls add<br />

interest and dimension to your favourite rooms. A demonstration of this is our latest listing 79 Clifton Terrace<br />

which has crisp white painted wood paneling which has effectively added timeless style and sophistication<br />

Giving back – a humbling experience<br />

Our day to day business activities involve helping people achieve their real estate aspirations, but we<br />

also take an active role in engaging with our local community. This year one of those events was the<br />

“Strictly Sumner Dance Event”. As a participant my chosen charity was the Sumner Community Residents<br />

Association, however we also wished to donate some of the money raised to the Christchurch City Mission.<br />

Last week Kathryn Cross (The Cornershop Bistro, Sumner) and I met with City Missioner, Michael Gorman<br />

to present him a cheque. What went from a ten minute meeting turned<br />

into a complete tour of the City Mission and it’s facilities.<br />

What an amazing and humbling experience. With such a passionate<br />

and dedicated leader at their helm Christchurch is fortunate to have<br />

such an incredible facility available to those living with far less than<br />

most. This is a facility that relies almost entirely on funding and help<br />

from the community and we quickly realized that the money we gave<br />

was literally a drop in the ocean compared to what they need every day,<br />

and every year. I have no doubt that as a business and as a community<br />

we can easily do more. Whether it’s a couple of tins of food, a couple<br />

of hours volunteering in the kitchen or a monetary donation, this truly is<br />

an organisation that hangs on to the saying that “every little bit helps”.<br />

With Christmas now only 4 months away one small way you can help is<br />

to donate a good quality pre-used or new toy for a child or adult in our<br />

Ray White Little Ray of Giving Campaign starting in December.<br />

<strong>Bay</strong>s’ big season finish<br />

• By Fraser Walker-Pearce<br />

FERRYMEAD BAYS will look<br />

to end their season on a high<br />

when they face Coastal Spirit in<br />

the English Cup final.<br />

At the start of the season,<br />

first team head coach Danny<br />

Halligan said he was aiming for<br />

a top three finish. But with only<br />

one league game left, the best<br />

the team can hope for is fourth<br />

spot.<br />

Halligan admitted it had been<br />

a bumpy season, but said the<br />

team prioritised this weekend’s<br />

final league match against Western<br />

before they would focus on<br />

competing for silverware.<br />

“Yes, we missed out on the top<br />

three spot and we’re now focussing<br />

on finishing the league<br />

season strongly. Then we can<br />

look forward to the English Cup<br />

final (Saturday, September 3),”<br />

he said.<br />

Halligan said losing key<br />

players to injury and even rival<br />

teams hadn’t helped the side’s<br />

momentum.<br />

“I think we’ve got stronger<br />

as we’ve gone on, we had a<br />

poor start and lost a number of<br />

players either to injury or other<br />

reasons and we never got that<br />

consistency that we needed,” he<br />

said.<br />

<strong>Bay</strong>s were holders of the English<br />

Cup in both 2012 and 2013,<br />

but Western and Cashmere<br />

Technical have taken the honours<br />

for the last two seasons.<br />

Halligan said his side have a<br />

“good chance” of taking away<br />

the cup, as Coastal have never<br />

taken the title.<br />

“We have a good team and,<br />

if we perform, we can beat any<br />

team, and we’ve proved that this<br />

season,” he said.<br />

Coastal has played <strong>Bay</strong>s three<br />

times this season, winning each<br />

time.<br />

They beat <strong>Bay</strong>s 3-0, 5-3, and<br />

1-0 over the season, leading into<br />

the final next Saturday.<br />

TIME TO SHINE: Ferrymead <strong>Bay</strong>s’ fullback Preston Bell in<br />

action against Nelson Suburbs earlier in the season. ​<br />

Ferrymead <strong>Bay</strong>s’ end-of-season run<br />

•July 30: win 3-0 against FC2011<br />

•<strong>August</strong> 13: draw 4-4 against Nelson Suburbs<br />

•<strong>August</strong> 20: draw 0-0 against Universities<br />

•<strong>August</strong> 27: Final league match v Western<br />

•September 3: English Cup final v Coastal Spirit<br />

School teacher Rebecca<br />

Waters writes about<br />

historical figures visiting<br />

the classroom for a lesson<br />

in New Zealand’s past<br />

HISTORIC New Zealanders that<br />

are on our bank notes came to<br />

visit our pupils on Wednesday.<br />

We had a visit from the wonderful<br />

Claire at Rutherford’s Den<br />

and she bought with her three<br />

famous New Zealanders – Ernest<br />

Rutherford, Kate Sheppard and<br />

Apirana Ngata.<br />

The children had an interactive<br />

morning learning about historic<br />

moments and the people behind<br />

them.<br />

They learned about Ernest Rutherford,<br />

his Nobel Prize and all<br />

about the atom; they completed<br />

some weaving and mapped out to<br />

scale a Maori kite with Apirana<br />

Ngata; and stepped into Kate<br />

Sheppard’s wardrobe to try on<br />

her biking bloomers.<br />

They also tried on a graduate<br />

gown and experienced what<br />

holding a Nobel Prize was like.<br />

Along the way, they joined in<br />

with the history by signing the<br />

petition for women to vote with<br />

a calligraphy pen and checked<br />

gravity was still working.<br />

LITTLE EINSTEIN: Noah re-enacts Ernest Rutherford’s<br />

acceptance of the Nobel Prize in 1908.<br />

The pupils had a great morning,<br />

which I hope gave them<br />

some inspiration to put their own<br />

mark on the world.<br />

AIR TIME: Heathcote Valley Primary School pupils will travel<br />

to Hokitika after being named one of the winners of the<br />

Air New Zealand Airpoints for Schools competition. The<br />

class met a target of 1920 airpoints to be one of 10 schools<br />

nationwide to go on a class trip by plane. The pupils will<br />

travel to Hokitika to monitor and compare new spawning<br />

grounds for whitebait as part of a new initiative, Whaka<br />

Inaka: Causing Whitebait, which has been created through<br />

EOS Ecology, DOC and the University of Canterbury.<br />

Learning to grow food<br />

DIAMOND <strong>Harbour</strong> Primary<br />

School has joined a nationwide<br />

growing and cooking their own<br />

The Garden to Table programme<br />

encourages Kiwi kids to<br />

learn about the process of planting<br />

and harvesting crops.<br />

The programme for seven to<br />

12-year-olds has been running<br />

for eight years and is aimed at<br />

changing the way children approach<br />

and think about food.<br />

Last week Fiesta, which has<br />

teamed up with Garden to<br />

Table, shipped packs of their<br />

Learn rules of the water<br />

• BY GARY MANCH,<br />

NAVIGATIONAL<br />

ews<br />

SAFETY OFFICER,<br />

LYTTELTON<br />

I was thinking the other day<br />

about boating in general, and<br />

the people who use various types<br />

of vessels ranging from paddle<br />

boards through to yachts and<br />

power boats.<br />

Then I thought I wonder how<br />

many of these people had done<br />

any form of training in relation to<br />

even the basic stuff like learning<br />

ashion<br />

the navigation rules, what the<br />

bylaw rules are in the area that<br />

they are using their boat, and I<br />

came to the conclusion that it was<br />

most likely a small amount.<br />

I bet at this point you are<br />

thinking how did he come to this<br />

conclusion, and I have to admit<br />

it’s not through any expensive<br />

Gardening<br />

survey, but through talking to<br />

people on the ramps and out in<br />

the water when they have done<br />

something wrong.<br />

An example may be going too<br />

fast within 200m of the shore or a<br />

structure (it’s a 5 knot speed limit<br />

within 200m of the shore unless<br />

the area is posted as an open<br />

speed limit) the answer I get is<br />

otoring<br />

”sorry I did not know” if I had a<br />

dollar for every time this was said<br />

to me, I would be a very wealthy<br />

man.<br />

Currently there is no<br />

compulsion for boaties to learn<br />

the rules, anyone can buy a boat,<br />

take it out on the water, if it is<br />

a power boat then the person<br />

operating must be 15 or older,<br />

unless closely supervised by a<br />

person over 15 years who is in<br />

immediate reach of the controls.<br />

I will tell you a story that occurred<br />

recently in Kaikoura at<br />

the public boat ramp, it was a<br />

busy day, and there were boats all<br />

waiting to come into shore, the<br />

weather was fine but there was a<br />

strong wind blowing towards the<br />

port side (left side for you landlubbers)<br />

of the vessels coming<br />

into the ramp.<br />

A late model stern drive <strong>Bay</strong>liner<br />

was coming in towards the<br />

boat ramp, and was attempting<br />

to get on the boat trailer, every<br />

time he got close he let the power<br />

off and drifted away, after several<br />

attempts and a crowd of people<br />

watching, some not being very<br />

complementary at all, one of his<br />

mates released the winch rope<br />

on the trailer to its full extent,<br />

walked out into the water chest<br />

deep and attached the rope to<br />

the bow, and then wound the<br />

boat in.<br />

Due to the fact this was a very<br />

unsafe way to bring the boat in, I<br />

spoke to the skipper, it turns out<br />

he had purchased the boat privately<br />

the day before, had never<br />

driven a boat before and was told<br />

that it was easy to operate, well<br />

how wrong he was.<br />

This was a disaster waiting to<br />

happen, not only for the other<br />

boaties in the area but also the<br />

chap in the water trying to<br />

connect the winch rope, as a<br />

result the new boatie was advised<br />

to get someone to teach him to<br />

use the boat correctly and also<br />

do a minimum day skipper<br />

course.<br />

The point I am making is that<br />

if you are going to use any form<br />

of water craft, learn the rules, and<br />

learn how to operate it properly,<br />

then there will be no issues, take<br />

care.<br />

<strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News asked its<br />

readers what they thought<br />

of a Lyttelton Design<br />

Review Panel being set up<br />

to help decide what could<br />

be built there, and what<br />

buildings could look like.<br />

Nichola Shanley – I recently<br />

resigned from my position as<br />

head of art at Burnside High<br />

School, in part because I could no<br />

longer bring myself to drive past<br />

the mushrooming “beds are us”<br />

mentality of the rebuild through<br />

the tunnel.<br />

Most people approach design,<br />

aesthetic, style in a herd-like<br />

mass-produced, throwaway, stick<br />

another louvre on it dumbness.<br />

You only have to visit Dunedin<br />

and witness the elegant, clever<br />

integration of historical and<br />

contemporary renovation to see<br />

what we are capable of in New<br />

Zealand. Why are we getting it<br />

so wrong in Christchurch and<br />

Lyttelton?<br />

I adore Lyttelton and will no<br />

doubt die an old lady here. But<br />

now I have to be very careful<br />

about where I walk. For example<br />

if I turn a particular corner and<br />

see the “ministry of non-education’s”<br />

building I want to faint in<br />

anger and disgust. This mistake<br />

will be with Lyttelton for a long<br />

time. It is a perfect example of<br />

mindless, fad-driven, insensitive<br />

architecture. It is a disruption<br />

to the environment it occupies.<br />

It occupies like an enemy army<br />

rather than dwelling naturally<br />

FISHERMAN’S<br />

WHARF<br />

within the landscape. It attempts<br />

to be arty but is busy and lacking<br />

in basic design principles. The<br />

clumsy graphics or typography<br />

of the signage only reinforces the<br />

lack of refinement of the overall<br />

design.<br />

Architecture should become<br />

an heirloom. Architecture should<br />

be intelligent. Architecture and<br />

interior design influence our<br />

wellbeing. No, I do not think we<br />

need quirky buildings except perhaps<br />

in a childrens’ playground,<br />

we need intelligent design.<br />

Does Lyttelton need a design<br />

review panel? Tricky, how would<br />

this be any different to a panel<br />

which approves of a person’s fitness<br />

to parent?<br />

Heritage was once a new build.<br />

What we build today will become<br />

our heritage. In 100 years would<br />

we be proud of the plastic painted,<br />

cookie cutter tilt slab, louvre<br />

drenched, faddish structures<br />

popping up overnight?<br />

I was excited by the Stanaways<br />

proposal. I cried and cried the<br />

day they killed the Shadbolt<br />

building. I believe buildings and<br />

gardens have a soul. The day<br />

they fenced off our wharves from<br />

the public was the day Lyttelton<br />

began to fade.<br />

A ‘gold mine’<br />

of footwear<br />

for all ages<br />

The Footwear Factory in Garlands Road<br />

Woolston has been a part of the Christchurch<br />

retail scene for more than a quarter of a century.<br />

Over that time thousands of people have<br />

flocked to the store to find bargains and<br />

good deals in quality footwear, ranging from<br />

children’s shoes, sandals and school shoes to<br />

men’s and women’s fashion and causal shoes,<br />

outdoor and sports shoes, bowls shoes, slippers,<br />

and safety footwear for the workplace.<br />

Launched in a small shop in Papanui, the<br />

business later operated in Riccarton for 12 years<br />

before moving to Garlands Rd 13 years ago.<br />

Owned by Russ and Jude Day, there you<br />

will find shelves lined with footwear in a huge<br />

variety of styles and colours for men, women<br />

and children – a ‘gold mine’ for shoe-seeking<br />

shoppers.<br />

The footwear is brought in from all over the<br />

world, as well as coming from New Zealand<br />

manufacturers, and includes ends of lines and<br />

other well-priced items.<br />

Four main brands are carried – the New<br />

Zealand made McKinlays range of children’s<br />

school shoes, as well as men’s and women’s<br />

styles. The well-known Hi-Tec range of outdoor<br />

footwear and tramping, New Balance sports<br />

shoes and a range of Keens sandals and outdoor<br />

footwear. These known brands cover all ages.<br />

New styles arrive almost every day, so there<br />

are always more to try on, while Russell and his<br />

second-in-charge Karen are happy to advise on<br />

styles and sizing.<br />

Located on a high-profile site at 47C Garlands<br />

Rd, (next to Flags Tyre’s), the Footwear Factory<br />

is easy to find, and there is off-street parking<br />

available.<br />

They are open seven days a week – 9.30am-<br />

5pm Monday to Friday, and 10am-2pm<br />

Saturday and Sunday. Phone 389-3431.<br />

Fashion<br />

City models at big event<br />

• By Annabelle Dick<br />

THREE Christchurch models<br />

will show their stuff this week<br />

at New Zealand’s most popular<br />

fashion show in Auckland.<br />

Rebecca Dore, Georgia Greig<br />

and Lucy Wyma will walk the<br />

catwalk in the New Zealand<br />

Weddings Magazine Show<br />

at New Zealand Fashion<br />

Week.<br />

Portfolio Model Agency director<br />

Mel Radford Brown said<br />

the three girls are some of the<br />

top within the agency and they<br />

reflect the talent Christchurch<br />

has to offer.<br />

“This speak volumes of portfolio<br />

models and the calibre<br />

of our models,” Mrs Radford<br />

Brown said.<br />

Rebecca Dore, 21, of<br />

Burnside, is Portfolio Model<br />

Agency’s booker and a model<br />

for the business.<br />

This is her fourth time walking<br />

at NZFW and she said<br />

she’s thrilled to be a part of one<br />

of the more extravagant shows<br />

of the week.<br />

“I did the wedding show<br />

last year and it was beautiful,”<br />

Miss Dore said.<br />

She has also walked in<br />

Australia’s premier event, the<br />

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week,<br />

in Sydney.<br />

Miss Greig, 19, formerly of<br />

Timaru, only stepped onto the<br />

modelling scene a year ago after<br />

a friend urged her to enter a<br />

competition.<br />

She’s excited to show at New<br />

Zealand’s premier fashion<br />

event, especially considering<br />

she didn’t even attend the casting<br />

for the event.<br />

“It’s pretty overwhelming<br />

to be chosen because, being<br />

a student, it was financially<br />

unviable to attend casting so<br />

I just hung back and let them<br />

know I was available,” she said.<br />

Miss Greig is studying<br />

design and wants to get a<br />

qualification behind her before<br />

jumping into what can be a<br />

shaky industry.<br />

Miss Wyma, 20, of Papanui,<br />

will also model at the annual<br />

event alongside Miss Greig and<br />

Miss Dore.<br />

The young model was<br />

recently signed to the IMG<br />

International agency, which<br />

has the likes of Gisele Bundchen,<br />

Miranda Kerr and Kate<br />

Moss on its books. The models<br />

will walk in the wedding show<br />

today and Saturday.<br />

BREAK OUT: Georgia Greig will model in fashion week<br />

after only a year in the industry. ​<br />

Bridal Show<br />

Take the stress out – plan your honeymoon<br />

THE COST and time it takes<br />

to organise a honeymoon<br />

can often be underestimated<br />

when couples are planning<br />

their weddings.<br />

But at Sunday’s With This<br />

Ring Bridal Show, there will<br />

be a number of exhibitors<br />

there to take the stress out<br />

of it.<br />

Hello World Travel’s<br />

Rangiora and Rolleston<br />

branches will be at the show,<br />

with a group of experts<br />

to talk to people who are<br />

looking into the planning.<br />

Rangiora branch managing<br />

director Liz Ditmer said<br />

often people had unrealistic<br />

expectations of how much<br />

honeymoons could cost.<br />

She said people also had to<br />

start planning their trips well<br />

in advance, and their teams<br />

would be at next Sunday’s<br />

show to help people do so.<br />

“We’re just there to start<br />

pointing them in the right<br />

direction,” she said.<br />

“We can make<br />

appointments and sit down<br />

with them at a later time to<br />

talk in more detail.”<br />

This year’s show will have<br />

85 exhibitors ranging from<br />

wedding and bridesmaid<br />

gowns, photography,<br />

honeymoons, flowers,<br />

stationary, caterers, venue<br />

hire and many more.<br />

On top of that, there will<br />

be more than $22,000 of<br />

prizes to be won.<br />

A wedding and<br />

honeymoon at Norfolk<br />

Island will be up for grabs, as<br />

well as a honeymoon at The<br />

Edgewater Resort and Spa in<br />

Rarotonga.<br />

Venue hire up to the value<br />

of $4050 for Wigram Base<br />

will be up for grabs, along<br />

with many more prizes and<br />

giveaways.<br />

Two fashion catwalks will<br />

be held, one at 11am and the<br />

other at 2pm, showcasing<br />

wedding gowns and mother<br />

of the bride outfits.<br />

•The With This Ring Bridal<br />

Show will be held at the<br />

Air Force Museum of<br />

New Zealand, Wigram,<br />

on Sunday (<strong>August</strong><br />

28), from 9.30am-4pm.<br />

aspect of Transform Clinic’s therapy<br />

options, with skin rejuvenation and skintightening<br />

treatments designed to improve<br />

skin quality as well as enhance self-esteem.<br />

be combined to achieve the desired results.<br />

Travel<br />

Relive the West Coast’s gold rush days<br />

• By Mike Yardley<br />

HEMMED IN by the Tasman<br />

Sea and the serrated peaks of the<br />

Main Divide, there really is no<br />

region in New Zealand quite like<br />

Westland.<br />

After tootling from Christchurch<br />

to Greymouth on the<br />

TranzAlpine, I swapped the rail<br />

tracks for the roadway to freeroam<br />

the West Coast’s delights.<br />

My first stop was Shantytown, a<br />

faithfully re-created 1860s goldmining<br />

town, complete with pub<br />

and post office.<br />

Highlights include the cluster<br />

of 30 gold rush era buildings,<br />

painted in the bright colours of<br />

boiled sweets. Enjoy a tipple in<br />

the evocative Golden Nugget<br />

Hotel, learn the art of gold panning<br />

and enjoy the short movie<br />

in the opulent Victorian-themed<br />

theatre.<br />

Heading further south on SH6,<br />

I went as far as Ross, a cute-as-abutton<br />

settlement, with a storied<br />

past in gold mining. The historic<br />

village of glories lost sports a cluster<br />

of colonial buildings, including<br />

the old Ross jail and miners’<br />

cottages.<br />

From Ross, I ventured back up<br />

SH6, to take in Treetops walk,<br />

traversing the canopy of the<br />

NATURAL: The turquoise colour of the Hokitika Gorge is<br />

caused by glacial flour seeping into the water.<br />

podocarp forest by Lake Mahinapua.<br />

Twenty-five metres above<br />

the forest floor, the mesh-steel<br />

gantry leads you through a dense<br />

vista of native forest, with giant<br />

specimens of rimu, kamahi and<br />

matai, interspersed with tree<br />

ferns, orchids, liverworts and<br />

fellow forest floor residents. www.<br />

treetopsnz.com<br />

Follow the signposts to Kokatahi<br />

and Kowhitirangi. The<br />

West Coast’s multitude of vivid<br />

greens comes into sharp focus<br />

as you wend your way through<br />

the fertile farmland. From here, a<br />

short gravel road leads you to one<br />

of my favourite New Zealand settings,<br />

the ravishing granite ravine<br />

of Hokitika Gorge, deep in the<br />

Whitcombe Valley.<br />

Right by the alpine fault, surrounded<br />

by dense native bush,<br />

thronging with native birds, the<br />

turquoise water is so absurdly<br />

vivid and otherworldly, it looks<br />

photo-shopped. (It’s due to the<br />

glacial flour seeping into the<br />

water.)<br />

But after heavy rain, the water<br />

turns a soupy grey, so you will be<br />

at the mercy of the weather gods.<br />

RESTORED: The Theatre<br />

Royal Hotel in Kumara first<br />

opened in 1876.<br />

Complete your valley circuit<br />

by shadowing the eastern side<br />

of Lake Kaniere and the lusty<br />

waterworks of Dorothy Falls.<br />

From there, a plethora of lakeside<br />

spots beckoning you to pause,<br />

before completing the circuit in<br />

Hokitika.<br />

You’d be hard pressed to find<br />

any other town or city in New<br />

Zealand with more galleries,<br />

studios and arty types. I spent all<br />

day admiring the studios, talking<br />

to the painters, glass blowers,<br />

craftspeople and pounamu carvers.<br />

For a legendary West Coast<br />

hospitality experience truly out of<br />

the box, you must stay a night at<br />

the resplendently restored Theatre<br />

Royal Hotel in Kumara. Handily<br />

located half way between Greymouth<br />

and Hokitika, this grand<br />

old hotel first opened its doors in<br />

in 1876, at the start of the Kumara<br />

gold rush.<br />

The current owners Kerrie<br />

and Mark Fitzgibbon bought the<br />

derelict hotel in 2010, spending<br />

nearly three years to restore it.<br />

You’ll enjoy a heady dose of<br />

Kumara’s community spirit in the<br />

bar and dining area every night,<br />

which spills forth with vintage<br />

West Coast conviviality. I feasted<br />

on fresh turbot in beer batter,<br />

while for dessert, don’t go past the<br />

apple crumble and custard.<br />

Unsurprisingly, the hotel is<br />

repeatedly showered with awards.<br />

You must experience it. www.<br />

Hyundai’s Elantra stands test of time<br />

• By Ross Kiddie<br />

HYUNDAI’S Lantra, or Elantra<br />

as it is now known, is one of<br />

the company’s most successful<br />

nameplates.<br />

It was first introduced as a midsize<br />

sedan in 1990, and has progressed<br />

through five generations;<br />

the latest all-new, sixth-generation<br />

variant has just been released<br />

onto the New Zealand market.<br />

The Elantra arrives in two<br />

specifications, both with the<br />

one body style, bearing in mind<br />

that previous generation models<br />

have had station wagon options.<br />

I guess with the way the station<br />

wagon market has given way to<br />

sport utility vehicles, Hyundai<br />

would still be comfortable with<br />

just the one variation.<br />

Elsewhere, the concept of<br />

Elantra hasn’t changed, it captures<br />

all of the features which has<br />

made the model so successful, yet<br />

packages them in a functional,<br />

appealing package.<br />

The evaluation car was badged<br />

Elite specification and lists at<br />

$39,990, an entry-level model sits<br />

$4000 below that.<br />

Under the bonnet sits a<br />

2-litre, twin-camshaft, petrol<br />

engine which is a relatively new<br />

design for the Korean company.<br />

Rated with power outputs of<br />

112kW (6200rpm) and 192Nm<br />

ELANTRA ELITE: .Important part of the Hyundai line-up.<br />

(4000rpm) it is a free-revving<br />

unit which drives through a sixspeed<br />

automatic gearbox, incidentally<br />

it is the only transmission<br />

in the range.<br />

Hyundai also claim a 7.2-litre<br />

per 100km (39mpg) combined<br />

cycle fuel usage rating for the<br />

Elantra. During my 150km road<br />

evaluation the fuel usage readout<br />

was listing constantly at around<br />

8.6l/100km (33mpg) which sat<br />

well with Hyundai’s claim. At<br />

100km/h on the highway the<br />

engine is turning over at just<br />

2100rpm in top gear providing a<br />

5l/100km (56mpg) instantaneous<br />

return.<br />

Hyundai have long had a reputation<br />

for building high quality<br />

vehicles, and those which provide<br />

its occupants with comfort and<br />

an easy driving experience. The<br />

Elantra doesn’t dip out on those<br />

facets.<br />

I drove my usual test route<br />

through the Canterbury high<br />

country. It cruises quietly on<br />

the long straights and has direct<br />

steering into a corner.<br />

The suspension is a mixture of<br />

McPherson struts up front and<br />

a torsion beam rear. As much as<br />

I like fully independent designs,<br />

the simplistic system in the<br />

Elantra is well located and movement<br />

isn’t compromised greatly.<br />

It isn’t overly firmed through<br />

the spring and dampers, absorption<br />

over Christchurch’s ruts and<br />

FUNCTIONAL: Apple<br />

CarPlay will allow on-screen<br />

infotainment from your<br />

iPhone.<br />

bumps is arrested, and when you<br />

push into a corner it is composed<br />

through the underpinnings with<br />

balanced body movement.<br />

Providing the grip are Koreanmade<br />

Hankook Ventus tyres<br />

(225/45 x 17in). They are sticky<br />

compound, and issue the driver<br />

with solid feedback as to how<br />

they are reacting to cornering<br />

pressure.<br />

Add to that the solid flow<br />

of power that arrives from the<br />

engine and you have a vehicle<br />

that could easily be classed as a<br />

sports sedan. Sure, its demeanour<br />

doesn’t suggest that it is truly<br />

exotic, but what its performance<br />

translates into is a responsive,<br />

dynamic car which is at home<br />

on the twisty nature of New<br />

Zealand’s roads.<br />

• Price – Hyundai Elanta<br />

Elite, $39,990<br />

• Dimensions – Length,<br />

4570mm; width, 1800mm;<br />

height, 1440mm<br />

• Configuration: Fourcylinder,<br />

front-wheel-drive,<br />

1999cc, 112kW, 192Nm,<br />

six-speed automatic.<br />

• Performance – 0-100km/<br />

h, 9.4sec<br />

• Fuel usage– 7.2l/100km<br />

In terms of specification, the<br />

Elantra arrives with a host of<br />

features for comfort and convenience<br />

and, of course, safety. Some<br />

of the major items of fitment<br />

include full leather trim with<br />

heated front seats, touch screen<br />

display with Apple CarPlay, keyless<br />

entry and ignition, cruise<br />

control and dual-zone climate<br />

control.<br />

I’ve written many times in the<br />

past about the direction Hyundai<br />

is taking as a company. It has<br />

high aspirations and the model<br />

line-up is vast.<br />

Hyundai has done the hard<br />

yards in establishing itself as a<br />

globally recognised manufacturer<br />

of first-class vehicles, and it’s fine<br />

cars like the Elantra that will keep<br />

those loyal to the brand entertained<br />

and satisfied for many<br />

years to come.<br />

Davis Cup event returns to Christchurch<br />

The New Zealand Davis<br />

Cup team are heading back to<br />

Christchurch to take on Pakistan in<br />

the Asia-Oceania Group 1 second<br />

round playoff. The Tie is being<br />

held from Friday 16 September to<br />

Sunday 18 September, indoors at<br />

Z Energy Wilding Park.<br />

Kiwi Olympians Michael Venus<br />

and Marcus Daniell ranked 41<br />

and 58 respective in the world<br />

for doubles have been named<br />

alongside Finn Tearney ranked<br />

381, Rubin Statham at 444 in<br />

singles. If Statham takes the court<br />

he will beat Onny Parun’s New<br />

Zealand Davis Cup record of the<br />

most ties played for his country of<br />

25 ties.<br />

It is likely Pakistan will select<br />

their doubles expert Aisam<br />

Qureshi who is 36-years-old and<br />

ranked 48th in doubles. Aqeel<br />

Khan is another likely veteran<br />

who should be selected.<br />

New Zealand lead Pakistan<br />

3-1 in head-to-head clashes. The<br />

last time the two sides clashed it<br />

was a 4-1 win for New Zealand<br />

in Myanmar in 2013 which was<br />

abandoned.<br />

Christchurch has been the home<br />

of Davis Cup ties since 2014, with<br />

a win against Chinese Taipei in<br />

2014 and a close 3-2 loss to India<br />

in the 2015 semi-finals. Tennis<br />

Canterbury is extremely excited<br />

to host yet another Davis Cup tie<br />

for the third consecutive year. This<br />

is a return to the glory days that<br />

has seen Tennis Canterbury host<br />

numerous Davis Cup ties against<br />

some of the superpower of world<br />

tennis.<br />

Z Energy Wilding Park is one<br />

of the oldest sport venues still in<br />

operation in all of Canterbury.<br />

It has played host to Davis<br />

Cup matches as far back as the<br />

1910’s and 20’s. Much like many<br />

of Christchurch’s other most<br />

important sporting facilities<br />

Wilding Park was severely<br />

impacted by the Christchurch<br />

Earthquake impacted in both<br />

September 2009 and February<br />

2010.<br />

The rebuilding process has<br />

been a long one. Mixed emotions<br />

were felt at the demolition of the<br />

iconic Memorial Stands, host to<br />

numerous Davis Cup Tie and other<br />

International Tennis Federation<br />

events. However it was also the first<br />

bit of tangible progress in relation<br />

to the redevelopment of Wilding<br />

Park and proved to generate<br />

some real excitement amongst the<br />

tennis community. Strengthening<br />

work on the facility’s structural<br />

steel and refurbishment of the<br />

administration and function<br />

space erased any signs of the<br />

earthquake damage and provided<br />

the wider community with some<br />

great function space.<br />

The final stage of development<br />

will see the reinstatement of<br />

six additional outdoor courts,<br />

the development of a grassy<br />

embankment for spectator viewing<br />

and social spaces, including a<br />

barbeque area. The facility will<br />

continue to be available to the<br />

local communities, including<br />

school, charitable organisations<br />

and, in some cases, other sports<br />

outside of normal hours. The<br />

final stage of development work<br />

is scheduled to be gin in the<br />

coming month with a completion<br />

date of mid November, just in<br />

time for the Summer of Tennis.<br />

This development will allow<br />

Canterbury to again host National<br />

Age Group events, International<br />

Events and, of course, future<br />

Summer Davis Cup ties.<br />

This year’s Davis Cup tie is a<br />

three day event. Two singles will<br />

be played on Friday, doubles on<br />

Saturday and the two reverse<br />

singles on Sunday. Matches are<br />

the best of five sets. Tickets and<br />

Corporate Boxes are available.<br />

Cantabrian Tennis Player USA Bound<br />

On the 1st June <strong>2016</strong>, Jack Tiller<br />

signed a national letter of intent<br />

with Southeastern Oklahoma State<br />

University, located in Durant,<br />

Oklahoma, USA.<br />

From the age of 15 Jack’s overall<br />

goal in tennis was to gain a<br />

scholarship to train, play and study<br />

in the United States of America.<br />

Through taking part in Canterbury<br />

Performance squads since the age of<br />

12, he constantly saw older players<br />

being granted scholarships and<br />

given opportunities to experience<br />

American lifestyle through<br />

tennis while gaining invaluable<br />

experiences. Seeing others excel<br />

in the college tennis system<br />

encouraged him to start<br />

preparation for enrolment in<br />

Fall <strong>2016</strong>.<br />

In October of 2015, Jack<br />

got in contact with John<br />

Gardner, the head coach in<br />

the Nelson/Marlborough region<br />

and his company, Inspire Sports.<br />

John’s expertise guided Jack<br />

through a comprehensive checklist<br />

of what he needed to achieve to<br />

reach his ultimate goal of signing<br />

with a college that fitted in well with<br />

what he wanted. John’s personalised<br />

programme was a great help. It<br />

began with initial meetings with<br />

Jack and his father so John could<br />

understand what they were looking<br />

for in a college. John then set out a<br />

‘Plan of attack” on how they would<br />

go about getting a contract. They<br />

began working together through<br />

each stage, which included NCAA<br />

registration, skills video, personal<br />

website, SAT and GPA results and<br />

working through what colleges Jack<br />

wanted to contact. Jack believes that<br />

it would not have been possible for<br />

him to work through everything<br />

that needed to be done without<br />

John’s outstanding expertise and<br />

knowledge. Jack found John’s<br />

attention to detail and reliability to<br />

be outstanding.<br />

Jack began talks with the coach<br />

from Southeastern Oklahoma State<br />

University in March of this year. The<br />

coach expressed his interest in Jack<br />

joining the college team and, after<br />

talking through email, the college<br />

made an offer for Jack to attend<br />

their college and become part of the<br />

Savage Storm athletic family. After<br />

the initial paper work, Jack signed a<br />

national letter of intent, committing<br />

Jack to attending the university.<br />

Through his years of training,<br />

Jack’s ultimate goal was to get to<br />

university. Jack is a self-professed<br />

‘late bloomer’ in tennis. During his<br />

junior years, he describes himself as<br />

a mediocre player who was always<br />

outside the top player category.<br />

Through growth, maturity and the<br />

help of the Canterbury training<br />

programme, he was able to play<br />

smarter tennis and achieve positive<br />

results. Coaching by Alistair Hunt<br />

and Matt Meredith has afforded<br />

Jack the opportunity to learn from<br />

the best and use their expertise on<br />

court, creating a huge advantage.<br />

Jack has represented Canterbury<br />

in multiple ties including<br />

Canterbury vs Marlborough,<br />

City vs Country, Canterbury<br />

team’s event and also the<br />

Canterbury men’s team. In 2015<br />

he won the under 18 Canterbury<br />

Championships, a great result to put<br />

on his college application form.<br />

Jack has always loved the fact that<br />

tennis is mostly an individual sport,<br />

results are based on a player’s own<br />

ability and there are no excuses. Jack<br />

has always enjoyed competing in<br />

Canterbury Interclub representing<br />

his club of Elmwood. He is grateful<br />

to Ashley Forbes for giving him<br />

the opportunity to play top level<br />

tennis in the premiere grade against<br />

great players like James Meredith,<br />

Remi Fennon and other top rated<br />

players in the region. Jack feels that<br />

it through playing top level players<br />

that he has learned the most, even if<br />

it involved losing.<br />

During tennis season, Jack trains<br />

or plays every day of the week. Each<br />

week also includes four sessions of<br />

hitting, two fitness sessions and two<br />

days of interclub matches on the<br />

weekends. During the off season<br />

Jack keeps training with hitting<br />

three days a week and a fitness<br />

session and match play on the<br />

weekends.<br />

Jack chooses to keep his future<br />

goals simple. His immediate goal<br />

is to do the best he can to prepare<br />

for college and to give himself the<br />

best chance of success. For Jack,<br />

this means being fit and healthy,<br />

requiring him to train as well as he<br />

can every time he gets on the court.<br />

Over the long term, Jack plans to<br />

take every opportunity he can at<br />

Southeastern Oklahoma State in<br />

order to reach his full potential<br />

whilst there, not just in tennis, but<br />

also in academic life.<br />

For younger players aspiring to<br />

play college tennis, Jack’s advice is<br />

to never give up. Jack recalls many<br />

moments in his time of playing<br />

tennis when he thought he wasn’t<br />

good enough, or wasn’t able to<br />

compete to his full potential. Not<br />

TENNIS CANTERBURY <strong>2016</strong> / 2017 CALENDAR<br />

being the best player in the region<br />

or the nation is not a problem;<br />

it’s a challenge. By embracing<br />

that challenge, working hard and<br />

training, it is possible to shorten the<br />

gap between the different levels in<br />

order to compete in top level tennis.<br />

Have a goal and go for it!<br />

Jack invites anyone interested in<br />

college tennis to feel free to ask any<br />

questions. He will be happy to try<br />

and answer!<br />

Tennis Canterbury names Redcliff’s Club<br />

President as Volunteer of the Year<br />

Redcliffs Tennis Club’s president, Di France, has been named Tennis<br />

Canterbury’s Volunteer of the Year.<br />

Following the February 2011 earthquake, Redcliffs Tennis Club was faced<br />

with uninsured damages estimated at $200,000. Di France, a former president<br />

of the club from 1981-1983, heard rumours that the troubled club may be forced<br />

to close and to sell its grounds. After a 22 year hiatus from tennis, Di stepped<br />

forward as voluntary project manager to rescue the tennis club on behalf of her<br />

community. She singlehandedly applied for community grants to reinstate the<br />

damaged courts, then project managed the repair work. This involved digging up<br />

the courts, relaying with a base then a temporary surface, and finally a finish of<br />

Synpave.<br />

Di was once again elected President of the Redcliff ’s Tennis Club when the club<br />

reopened in May 2013. Under her supervision, the club has grown from 40 junior<br />

and 22 senior members to 132 juniors and 35 affiliated senior members.<br />

Di continues to be the driving force behind the tennis club. She has established<br />

junior tennis coaching, first by engaging Stu Chalmers as junior coach for the<br />

2013/2014 season, then by organising for Evie Ruegg to take on the Head Coach<br />

role. Di also established social senior club tennis on Tuesday and Friday mornings,<br />

which she herself attends. Along with her husband, Roger, Di undertakes regular<br />

maintenance of the courts, club house and hall.<br />

Redcliffs Tennis Club now enjoys a renewed place in the community. The club<br />

leases its hall to the displaced Redcliffs Public Library. Using networks she has built<br />

throughout Redcliffs, Di encourages strong community and family participation<br />

in club events. She regularly offers her own services to club activities, cooking<br />

sausages and preparing afternoon teas for prize-givings and end of season parties.<br />

Redcliffs Tennis Club offers club, interclub, social and casual tennis.<br />

Have Fun and Get Fit<br />

with Cardio Tennis<br />

Looking for a way to get fit, have fun and<br />

meet new people? Cardio Tennis is a fitness<br />

programme offered at tennis clubs across<br />

Canterbury. Combining the best features of<br />

tennis with cardiovascular exercise, Cardio<br />

Tennis delivers a fun, full-body, calorieburning<br />

aerobic workout ¬– even if you have<br />

never played tennis before.<br />

Cardio Tennis uses low-compression tennis<br />

balls which travel at a slower speed, making<br />

it easier for a beginner to hit the ball. More<br />

advanced players will be challenged by a<br />

range of activities that cater to all skill levels.<br />

Cardio Tennis works by raising participants’<br />

heart rates into their aerobic training zone. At<br />

the beginning of each session, participants<br />

are equipped with heart rate monitors before<br />

exercising to music and using a variety of<br />

modified equipment to elevate the heart<br />

rate. Like interval training, periods of high<br />

intensity are followed by short periods of rest.<br />

Cardio Tennis combines fun with<br />

spectacular success. Women can burn up to<br />

500 calories in a 60 minute workout. Men<br />

can burn up to 800 calories. Cardio Tennis<br />

coaches are Tennis NZ registered and trained<br />

to ensure that participants get a great workout<br />

while improving their tennis skills.<br />

Even if you’re not good at tennis, Cardio<br />

Tennis can provide a fun, social way to keep<br />

fit. Contact Tennis Canterbury to find a<br />

Cardio Tennis programme near you.<br />

60 minutes. NZPTHS coaching<br />

Play is designed to give kids<br />

the chance to have a hit in a<br />

emphasis is on fun, not coaching.<br />

is conducted in clubs and centres<br />

New Zealand-wide by parents,<br />

club volunteers and NZPTHS<br />

coaches.<br />
