Principal replacement deadline<br />
• By Annabelle Dick<br />
LYTTELTON PRIMARY School<br />
has to appoint a new principal<br />
by November 26 to replace the<br />
departing principal Diana Feary.<br />
Mrs Feary announced her<br />
resignation two weeks ago. The<br />
school is now looking for a successor<br />
by late November to take<br />
the reigns as principal in 2017.<br />
Mrs Feary’s last day is January<br />
26 and a new principal has to be<br />
appointed at least two months<br />
before the existing principal<br />
leaves as part of the Employment<br />
Relations Act 2000.<br />
Board of Trustees chairwoman<br />
Bridget O’Brien said they’re now<br />
in the process of searching for<br />
a new principal but the role has<br />
not yet been advertised.<br />
“We’re already under way with<br />
the principal recruitment process.<br />
The board had a meeting<br />
on Monday night to start the<br />
planning for recruiting a new<br />
principal,” she said.<br />
“We’re aiming to get it in the<br />
New Zealand Education Gazette<br />
in early October and applications<br />
will close on October 17.”<br />
Vice principal Bernice Swain<br />
is also leaving the school and<br />
handed her notice in last week.<br />
The departure of two of the<br />
school’s senior management<br />
staff has left the school with a<br />
lone vice principal Jeremy Orczy<br />
leading into next year.<br />
Mrs Feary will take a gap year<br />
while Mrs Swain will go on to<br />
teach at Haeata Community<br />
Campus in Aranui next term.<br />
Mrs O’Brien said Mrs Feary<br />
had been planning on leaving after<br />
the merger between Lyttelton<br />
Main School and Lyttelton West<br />
was complete.<br />
Said Mrs O’Brien: “Now the<br />
transition is complete she feels<br />
like now is the right time to<br />
move on and somebody else<br />
take over the reigns. She’s been<br />
planning this for over a year now<br />
that she would see it through to<br />
the end of this year.”<br />
She also said the reports of<br />
bullying at the school weren’t<br />
related to her resignation.<br />
The school won’t be replacing<br />
Mrs Swain as vice principal and<br />
her management duties will be<br />
spread across other staff.<br />
“One of the reasons we had<br />
two vice principals is because we<br />
were operating across two sites<br />
until term two this year and we<br />
needed management on both<br />
sides. Now we’re on the one side<br />
we feel that one vice principal is<br />
sufficient,” Mrs O’Brien said.<br />
Mrs Swain will finish at the<br />
end of this term and a fixed-term<br />
teacher will step in to cover.<br />

JACK LOPAS has a huge rowing<br />
future ahead of him and Bridget<br />
Rutherford profiles the Little River<br />
17-year-old on pages 10-11.<br />
He’s back from the Netherlands<br />
where he won gold at the junior<br />
world champs – just in time for<br />
his NCEA exams at Christchurch<br />
Boys’ High School.<br />
Lopas has a huge amount of<br />
natural sporting talent, and also<br />
has rowing in his genes. But what<br />
separates the champions from the<br />
pack is the willingness and determination<br />
to go that bit further in<br />
training, and of course that extra<br />
percentage up top.<br />
On another note, it appears our<br />

Hope for LIM report saga<br />
Latham to<br />
meet again<br />
with Dalziel<br />
• By Annabelle Dick<br />
Mayor Lianne Dalziel has<br />
agreed to meet further with<br />
the group campaigning against<br />
flood and erosion data on<br />
property LIM reports.<br />
She will sit down with<br />
Christchurch Coastal Residents<br />
United spokesman Dr Darrell<br />
Latham (right) within the next<br />
fortnight.<br />
Ms Dalziel has asked the<br />
group to work with the city<br />
council on changing the<br />
Coastal Hazards Assessment<br />
Report.<br />
“We had a conversation with<br />
the mayor about the whole<br />
coastal hazards process. As a<br />
result of that meeting we are<br />
now looking forward to the<br />
review of the coastal hazards<br />
chapter and working in a<br />
collaborative and consultative<br />
way with the mayor and<br />
council,” he said.<br />
The original report found a<br />
number of coastal homes are at<br />
risk of erosion and flooding<br />
and that information has<br />
gone on homeowners’ LIM<br />
reports.<br />
A review panel urged the<br />
city council to remove it and<br />
undertake more research<br />
because the maps identifying<br />
18,000 at-risk properties could<br />
be legally unsound.<br />
Dr Latham said working<br />
with the city council to change<br />
the report is a significant step<br />
forward for coastal residents.<br />
“The mayor has opened<br />
the door for us to engage in<br />
the process and wants this to<br />
happen asap and before the next<br />
scheduled city council meeting<br />
on <strong>September</strong> 22,” he said.<br />
“The reality of the situation,<br />
however, will become clear<br />
when we discuss proposed<br />
LIM wording. The devil, of<br />
course, will always be in the<br />
detail.”<br />
In Brief<br />
BUS SHELTER<br />
A bus shelter will be installed on<br />
Norwich Quay. A new bus stop<br />
location was approved in June and<br />
the shelter will now be installed as<br />
well. The bus stop and shelter will<br />
be installed adjacent to 25 Norwich<br />
Quay and will replace the existing<br />
bus stop on Norwich Quay opposite<br />
Dublin St. It will cost about $9000<br />
to build and install the shelter<br />
which should be in place within the<br />
next three months.<br />
DAMAGED WALL<br />
A structural assessment will be<br />
done on concrete blocks and fencing<br />
surrounding a damaged wall next<br />
to the Gaol Steps. The steps lead<br />
from St David St to Oxford St near<br />
Lyttelton Primary School. The<br />
obstacles take up to 50 per cent<br />
of the pavement space and it is of<br />
concern as many children go past<br />
the wall. The Ministry of Education<br />
own the damaged wall and it will<br />
be assessed before removing the<br />
concrete blocks and fence as it could<br />
be unsafe to stand uncovered.<br />
BEACHVILLE RD REPAIRS<br />
Road repairs will impact access to<br />
Beachville Rd in Redcliffs. Work on<br />
the southern corner of Beachville<br />
Rd began on Monday. There will<br />
be a road closure in place at the<br />
southern corner and access will be<br />
from the north end of Beachville Rd<br />
for the next two weeks.<br />

Court repair concerns<br />
• By Annabelle Dick<br />
NEARLY SIX years after the<br />
February 22 earthquake, the<br />
Lyttelton Tennis Club is still<br />
trying to get its damaged courts<br />
repaired and up to working order.<br />
The club has significant court<br />
surface damage and a retaining<br />
wall that needs to be fixed so the<br />
members can have proper access<br />
to the club’s facilities.<br />
Club president Jillian Frater<br />
raised her concerns to the Lyttelton-Mt<br />
Herbert Community<br />
Board about the repairs and the<br />
possibility of progressing them.<br />
“It’s been an ongoing, long<br />
process and we wanted to make<br />
sure that they were still considering<br />
it,” she said.<br />
One of the two court surfaces<br />
is cracked and the bank behind<br />
it has slumped onto the courts<br />
both as a result of the 2011<br />
earthquake and subsequent<br />
storms.<br />
The steps to the clubroom has<br />
also been fenced off for the past<br />
three years and only once the<br />
other retaining wall is repaired<br />
can work on the steps and court<br />
begin.<br />
“The retaining wall is a priority<br />
as it influences the use of<br />
the stairs. They fenced them off<br />
a couple of years ago and we<br />
haven’t been able to use them but<br />

Couple escape unhurt<br />
after campervan overturns<br />
• By Annabelle Dick<br />
AN AUSTRALIAN couple had<br />
a lucky break after escaping<br />
from their campervan which<br />
overturned in strong winds on<br />
State Highway 75.<br />
The pair were travelling to<br />
Akaroa when strong gusts blew<br />
their campervan off the road last<br />
Wednesday at about 10pm.<br />
Little River Volunteer Fire<br />
Brigade chief fire officer David<br />
Irving said the couple were<br />
travelling to Akaroa on the last<br />
day of their holiday when the<br />
incident happened.<br />
“The wind caught their campervan,<br />
put it up on two wheels<br />
and they didn’t have enough<br />
road to wrestle it back down so it<br />
was blown off the road,” he said.<br />
Three volunteer fire officers attended<br />
the scene between Graylees<br />
Rd and Kaituna Valley Rd.<br />
The couple weren’t injured but<br />
the campervan has been written<br />
off.<br />

REPAIRS: City council<br />
contractors repair the<br />
retaining wall that slipped on<br />
the courts as a result of the<br />
2011 earthquake and storm<br />
events.<br />
they need to move those before<br />
they can fix the court.”<br />
City council has already spent<br />
$170,000 to repair one of the<br />
damaged retaining walls and<br />
they’ll have to spend more to<br />
complete the remaining work.<br />
Lyttelton-Mt Herbert Community<br />
Board chairwoman<br />
Paula Smith said at the time<br />
they heard from Ms Frater, the<br />
board heard from the capital<br />
programme who fix retaining<br />
walls in Lyttelton.<br />
“They agreed to go have a<br />
look at it and they’re probably<br />
going to include that in their<br />
programme but I haven’t heard<br />
a confirmation of that. But staff<br />
are now aware of the problem<br />
and are working on it,” Ms<br />
Smith said.<br />
The community board has requested<br />
city council staff update<br />
the board regularly on progress<br />
with outstanding issues raised in<br />
regards to the tennis courts.<br />

Big claims for mileage<br />
• By Annabelle Dick and Bridget<br />
Rutherford<br />
MORE THAN $30,000 has been<br />
claimed by city councillors and<br />
community board members in<br />
mileage this term and that figure<br />
is likely to increase considerably.<br />
Community board members<br />
and a city councillor representing<br />
Banks Peninsula made<br />
up the majority of those who<br />
claimed back their mileage costs<br />
over the past three years.<br />
Representatives from the<br />
Akaroa-Wairewa Community<br />
Board and the Lyttelton-Mt<br />
Herbert Community Board have<br />
claimed $33,079.31 in mileage<br />
payment.<br />
Akaroa-Wairewa Community<br />
Board chairwoman Pam Richardson<br />
got $11,468 back from the<br />
city council, which made up a<br />
third of the total claims.<br />
Lyttelton-Mt Herbert Community<br />
Board chairwoman<br />
Paula Smith came in second at<br />
$7819, while Banks Peninsula<br />
city councillor Andrew Turner<br />
claimed $6868.<br />
City councillors and community<br />
board members can claim<br />
back 74c for every kilometre<br />
they travel over 30km when they<br />
are going to and from council<br />
or board business in their own<br />
vehicles.<br />
Pam Richardson<br />
Banks Peninsula representatives<br />
have to drive further to<br />
get to council-related meetings,<br />
because the wards cover a larger<br />
area.<br />
As wards have changed with<br />
the representation review, the<br />
two Banks Peninsula community<br />
boards will become one<br />
and meetings will be held at Lyttelton’s<br />
new boardroom.<br />
Mrs Richardson, who lives<br />
in Pigeon <strong>Bay</strong>, and serves on<br />
the Akaroa-Wairewa Community<br />
Board, said with the two<br />
boards merging after October’s<br />
elections, the amount of travel<br />
would increase.<br />
“For prospective members<br />
it will be considerably more<br />
travel,” Mrs Richardson said.<br />
Ms Smith, who lives in<br />
Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong>, won’t be<br />
standing in the next local body<br />
elections but she said mileage<br />
costs will increase for both<br />
the city council and the board<br />
members.<br />
“It will increase and so will the<br />
cost to the elected representatives<br />
and their families because<br />
the rules set means you only get<br />
reimbersed for the mileage you<br />
do over 30km. For example I<br />
do about $8000 worth of mileage<br />
but there’s a big proportion<br />
I’m paying myself because my<br />
journeys are less than 30km,”<br />
she said.<br />
Remuneration and expenses,<br />
including mileage, are set by the<br />
Remuneration Authority and<br />
the city council provides the appropriate<br />
support.<br />
Of the 28 community board<br />
representatives and 13 city councillors<br />
in the city, only five board<br />
members and two city councillors<br />
claimed their mileage back,<br />
in total costing the city council<br />
$33,990.<br />
Akaroa-Wairewa Community<br />
Board members Lyndon Graham<br />
and Janis Haley claimed<br />
$5431 and $<strong>14</strong>90 respectively.<br />
OFFICIALLY OPEN: New World Ferry Rd was opened<br />
by Port Hills MP Ruth Dyson (left) and members of the<br />
Boock family, Oliver Gardiner, Greg Boock, Lily, Macy,<br />
Hunter and Rebecca. The store has been built next to<br />
the old one, near the Woolston shops. It has taken a year<br />
to rebuild and, once the old store is demolished, there<br />
will also be more car parks. Owner-operator Greg Boock<br />
said the store is in “fantastic shape” and he was pleased<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong> will be monitored<br />
before proposed dredging<br />
• By Annabelle Dick<br />
WATER QUALITY monitoring<br />
is underway for the Lyttelton<br />
Port of Christchurch’s proposed<br />
dredging project.<br />
The $3 million operation<br />
began in Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
on Friday in what is the largest<br />
environmental monitoring<br />
programme ever undertaken<br />
for a dredging project in New<br />
Zealand.<br />
LPC is proposing to dredge<br />
the shipping channel so larger<br />
container ships can visit the port.<br />
The proposal is still waiting on<br />
resource consent from the city<br />
council.<br />
LPC will install <strong>14</strong> water<br />
quality buoys and monitoring<br />
equipment on the sea floor<br />
throughout the harbour, Port<br />
Levy and offshore marine areas<br />
to capture live information.<br />
Water clarity, pH level,<br />
temperature and nutrient levels<br />
will be measured and a summary<br />
of the data will be sent to a<br />
website every 15 minutes.<br />
LPC chief executive Peter<br />
Davie said information from the<br />
sites will enable the proposed<br />
dredging operations to be<br />
constantly managed.<br />
“While the company is<br />
committed to future-proofing<br />
RESEARCH: Buoys are placed into Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong> to gather<br />
water quality information. <br />
the port to secure Lyttelton’s<br />
future as the South Island’s<br />
major international trade<br />
gateway, we will not do this at the<br />
expense of our environmental<br />
responsibilities,” he said.<br />
The buoys will collect<br />

Options investigated to<br />
deal with slow tourists<br />
• By Annabelle Dick<br />
AKAROA residents frustrated<br />
by tourist drivers may get<br />
some relief soon as options are<br />
investigated for slow vehicles.<br />
The New Zealand Transport<br />
Agency is looking at locations for<br />
pull-off areas and slow vehicle<br />
bays near the Hilltop area after a<br />
petition was sent to the agency in<br />
a bid to make State Highway 75<br />
more user-friendly.<br />
Petition organiser Marie Haley,<br />
of Goughs <strong>Bay</strong>, said residents<br />
have endured years of frustration<br />
over road conditions and slow<br />
drivers between Akaroa and Little<br />
River.<br />
“It came about because each<br />
summer there’s a lot of very slow<br />
tourists on the roads. There’s a lot<br />
of tourist buses and vehicles on<br />
State Highway 75 and nowhere<br />
for them to pull over and let people<br />
pass,” Ms Haley said.<br />
Residents want to see sealed<br />
shoulders and driving courtesy<br />
signs introduced to allow tourists<br />
to pull over and let others pass.<br />
NZTA traffic and safety manager<br />

recognised residents’ frustration,<br />
drivers should be aware that<br />
this is a route often travelled by<br />
tourists.<br />

30 minutes, with 85 per cent of<br />
journeys completed under 37<br />
minutes. This is considered a<br />
safe and reasonable journey time<br />
given the hilly terrain and need<br />
for all drivers to take care,” he<br />
said.<br />
“We understand that local<br />
drivers who know this road well<br />
sometimes get held up behind<br />
people who are new to this part<br />
of the country, or who may be<br />
diverted by the scenery. While<br />
this can be frustrating, it is<br />
relatively temporary and for<br />
everyone’s safety and enjoyment<br />
of the Banks Peninsula area, we<br />
encourage all drivers to slow<br />
down and be patient.”<br />
The Akaroa-Wairewa Community<br />
Board is backing the petition<br />
and the city council will discuss<br />
it at its <strong>September</strong> 15 meeting.<br />
It may be true that there are fewer buyers and sellers in<br />
the winter marketplace but the ones that are there are<br />
serious and have a sense<br />
of urgency to purchase.<br />

Bodybuilder turns pro<br />
STRIKE AS POSE: Dan<br />
Gerrard posed on stage<br />
to win an international<br />
competition after only one<br />
year on the circuit.<br />
• By Annabelle Dick<br />
A FERRYMEAD fitness model<br />
has graduated from amateur to<br />
professional competitions after<br />
taking out his category at an<br />
international bodybuilding event.<br />
F45 Training Ferrymead manager<br />
Dan Gerrard, 23, won the<br />
fitness category at the Pan Pacific<br />
Championships/NZ International<br />
Pro Am and received a pro-card,<br />
meaning he’s now considered<br />
a World Fitness Federation pro<br />
athlete.<br />
“It was really interesting. I did<br />
things a bit differently; I had a big<br />
focus on work and the stuff I was<br />
doing for F45 so I was just trying<br />
to enjoy the process a lot more<br />
and it paid off,” he said.<br />
The competition incorporated<br />
bodybuilding, figure and fitness<br />
and was held in Auckland<br />
recently.<br />
The win now means Gerrard<br />
will be able to compete alongside<br />
top bodybuilders from around<br />
the world.<br />
“Competing as an amateur, it’s<br />
all self-funded and you’re doing<br />
it for yourself. Whereas, as a pro<br />
athlete, I would only be able to<br />
enter against other professionals<br />
in shows and there’s more monetary<br />
value involved,” he said.<br />
Gerrard has been training in<br />
the gym since he was 16 and<br />
has spent the last year prepping<br />
and competing in bodybuilding,<br />
figure and fitness events as a male<br />
sports model.<br />
Gerrard initially trained in<br />
karate but an injury put him out<br />
of practice so he decided to use<br />
fitness bodybuilding as a competitive<br />
outlet.<br />
“It was never a goal to get on<br />
stage and compete, but I was<br />
competing in karate and I got<br />
injured in 20<strong>14</strong> and that ended<br />
my competing. So when I was<br />
going through the rehab process,<br />
setting goals to do a competition,<br />
that was what got me motivated<br />
and back on track,” he said.<br />
His first show was the Christchurch<br />
Grand Prix, where he won<br />
his category and qualified for the<br />
Southern Hemisphere Championships<br />
earlier this year.<br />
Gerrard also qualified for Mr<br />
Universe but didn’t have the<br />
freedom or support to go to the<br />
United States for the competition.<br />
His also competed in the<br />
Southern Hemisphere Championships<br />
on the Gold Coast in June<br />
this year, where he came second<br />
overall.<br />
Gerrard plans to travel to Asia<br />
and Australia to follow the bodybuilding<br />
circuit.<br />
UNKNOWN FATE: A decision on the future of Yew Cottage<br />
has been delayed.<br />

Brakes put on sale<br />
of Yew Cottage<br />
• By Annabelle Dick<br />
A DECISION on the fate of Yew<br />
Cottage has been delayed yet<br />
again to give city council staff<br />
more time to explore uses for<br />
the building.<br />
The matter was discussed last<br />
Thursday at a city council meeting<br />
where the Akaroa-Wairewa<br />
Community Board put forward<br />
their recommendation of retaining<br />
the building for community<br />
purposes.<br />
The property’s condition is<br />
deteriorating and needs about<br />
$200,000 of work done.<br />
City council staff had proposed<br />
consulting the public<br />
about selling the building on the<br />
open market, with a covenant<br />
on the property to protect its<br />
heritage values, but the community<br />
board was reluctant to take<br />
that step.<br />
The board instead recommended<br />
the city council delay a<br />
decision until city council staff<br />
have worked with the Akaroa<br />
community and groups to identify<br />
future uses for the building.<br />
The city council accepted the<br />
board’s recommendation.<br />
Yew Cottage dates back to<br />
1877. It was bought by the<br />
former Banks Peninsula District<br />
Council in 1981 to ensure it was<br />
not demolished.<br />
Akaroa is home to around 280<br />
colonial buildings.<br />

MARKET MILESTONE: It’s been 11 years since the Lyttelton Farmers’ Market<br />
began and the affair was celebrated in style with a steampunk-themed<br />
market. Residents were invited to come to the market in full steampunk or<br />
Victorian costume on Saturday, <strong>September</strong> 3. The market began in 2005 and<br />
is a not-for-profit enterprise run by Project Lyttelton and volunteers. More than<br />
40 vendors operate at the market, supplying the area with fresh fruit, veges,<br />
baked goods, craft beer, fish, poultry and game.<br />

THE LYTTELTON-MT Herbert<br />
Community Board has moved to<br />
its new premises but it’s not all<br />
new – the board room features a<br />
piece of Banks Peninsula history.<br />
The board formally opened the<br />
new Lyttelton community board<br />
room and a big oval table used by<br />
the former Banks Peninsula District<br />
Council takes centre stage.<br />
Board members farewelled the<br />
old room at 15 London St. They<br />
held a walking parade on the way<br />
to the new room at 25 Canterbury<br />
St last Wednesday.<br />
The board has been using the 15<br />
London St room to hold meetings<br />
since earthquake damage forced<br />
the closure of the Lyttelton Service<br />
Centre.<br />
The new room was blessed and<br />
a speech was given by the board’s<br />
longest standing member, Ann<br />
Jolliffe.<br />
The room also hosts a sideboard<br />
and a Maori carving which<br />
belonged to the Banks Peninsula<br />

Our People<br />
World champion junior rower<br />
Little River’s Jack Lopas has just returned from the Junior World Rowing<br />
Championships with a gold medal hanging around his neck, and he is straight into<br />
NCEA exams. Bridget Rutherford spoke to him about beating his crewmate at<br />
Maadi Cup, and holding the unofficial national record for his 2km ergometer<br />
ACHIEVEMENT: Jack Lopas, 17, has represented New Zealand<br />
in rowing twice and hopes to compete at the Olympics.<br />
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />
So you’ve just won gold in the<br />
double sculls– how does it feel<br />
to be a world champion?<br />
I’ve actually been asked that a<br />
lot, but it’s kind of hard because<br />
it doesn’t really feel that much<br />
different. It’s a funny feeling<br />
thinking you’re the top in the<br />
world in your event.<br />
Can you run me through the<br />
race?<br />
It was really rough at race<br />
time, so we had to take that into<br />
account. We’ve always been a bit<br />
slower off the start, so we just<br />
stuck to our guns and focused on<br />
our middle kilometre. We took<br />
the lead in the third 500m just<br />
after the 1km mark, which<br />
is where we wanted that to happen.<br />
What was running through<br />
your mind at the start line, were<br />
you nervous?<br />
I was the most nervous in the<br />
heats because you don’t know<br />
what to expect. I was a bit shaky,<br />
and with the rough conditions<br />
it was another thing resting on<br />
your mind.<br />
What about when you crossed<br />
GOING FOR GOLD: Jack Lopas and Lenny Jenkins racing in the<br />
Junior World Rowing Championships.<br />
PHOTO: ROWING NEW ZEALAND<br />
the finish line?<br />
It was a huge relief for all that<br />
stress to be over and not having<br />
to worry about the result. It was a<br />
pretty unreal feeling. It’s painful<br />
during the race but after winning<br />
you feel like it wasn’t too bad and<br />
it was all worth it.<br />
So this is your second year of<br />
competing at juniors?<br />
Yep, I was in the reserve double<br />
last year. We still raced and got<br />
second in the B final. It was<br />
good motivation to come back<br />
this year, and it makes it a lot<br />
easier racing once you’ve done<br />
it already. You have a bit more<br />
experience.<br />
When did you begin rowing?<br />
I started at the end of third<br />
form. I’ve done four years of it<br />
now.<br />

has eye on future Olympics<br />
So you were at Lincoln<br />
High School before shifting<br />
to Christchurch Boys’ High<br />
School, why the shift?<br />
It was for the rowing – I was<br />
the only rower at Lincoln, so I<br />
was doing it once a week down<br />
at Kerrs Reach with one other. I<br />
started at boys’ high in 2013 – in<br />
year 10. My mum and dad both<br />
rowed and I have a couple of<br />
uncles who did, and my granddad<br />
rowed for New Zealand. So<br />
I thought I might do it. I enjoyed<br />
doing it by myself, but I felt like<br />
I needed to be doing it with a<br />
group. My parents both rowed<br />
at club level and got a couple of<br />
national medals.<br />
And you would have been to a<br />
couple of Maadi Cups, how did<br />
you go in those?<br />
I’ve been to three. I didn’t make<br />
Maadi in my first year. But in<br />
my first season competing I got a<br />
bronze in the under-16 quadruple<br />
sculls and then the next year I<br />
got silver in the under-17 double<br />
sculls, under-17 quadruple sculls<br />
and in the under-18 quadruple<br />
sculls. In my last season this year,<br />
I got gold in the under-18 single,<br />
double and quad, and a bronze in<br />
the under-18 eight.<br />
At Maadi the under-18 eights<br />
are the big races to win – which<br />
medal did you enjoy winning<br />
the most?<br />
I think the quad. I was the most<br />
excited after winning it because<br />
it’s a group of four mates who<br />
train together the whole season.<br />
And you’re the national record<br />
holder for your age group<br />
for the 2km erg, that’s pretty<br />
impressive, what was your time?<br />
I don’t know if it’s actually official,<br />
but I pulled 5min 57sec. I’ve<br />
always progressed with each erg,<br />
I’ve never gone backwards.<br />
You beat Olympic champion<br />
Hamish Bond’s time didn’t you?<br />
I pulled faster than Hamish<br />
Bond’s time when he was my age.<br />
I think Eric Murray and Hamish<br />
Bond pull around the 5min 42sec<br />
mark.<br />
So you’re from Little River<br />
aren’t you?<br />
Yes, I live about 4km from the<br />
township on a lifestyle block. I<br />
actually went into Little River<br />
School when I got back, because<br />
my mum teaches there and had<br />
been keeping the kids updated.<br />
I went in and had a chat to all<br />
the kids and took in my medal. I<br />
went there from year 1-8, and my<br />
younger brother is still there.<br />
How many siblings do you<br />
have?<br />
I’ve got an older sister and three<br />
younger brothers. We are quite a<br />
big rugby family, all of my brothers<br />
made Ellesmere representative<br />
teams and two of them made<br />
Canterbury Country teams.<br />
Do you play rugby yourself?<br />

ROWING NEW<br />
ZEALAND<br />
I used to play, last year was the<br />
first year since I was four that I<br />
haven’t played because I couldn’t<br />
due to juniors. I did miss it, I<br />
was watching all of my brothers’<br />
games. I was playing prop in the<br />
boys’ high 16As before I stopped<br />
playing.<br />
And by the sound of your<br />
training schedule you will be<br />
eating your mum out of house<br />
and home, how much do you<br />
have to eat to fuel your body?<br />
She does notice the difference.<br />
But I have three brothers<br />
so they eat a lot too. You just<br />
have to chuck in more pasta and<br />
potatoes. Up north we would eat<br />
two breakfasts and a full lunch<br />
and a big dinner, then a couple<br />
of extra bits in the middle, like a<br />
banana and honey sandwich or<br />
something.<br />
So what about your double<br />
partner, did you know him<br />
before this year?<br />
I met him last year at Maadi,<br />
he beat me in all three of those<br />
events I got silver in. He was in<br />
juniors last year as well. But I<br />
versed him this year at Maadi<br />
and beat him in all three events<br />
and he got silver in all of them.<br />
So it was quite funny.<br />
What are your goals with<br />
rowing?<br />
I think one day I do want to<br />
compete at Olympics but that’s<br />
quite a few years away and there’s<br />
a long road ahead.<br />
So you’re in your last year<br />
of school currently, have you<br />
decided what you will do when<br />
you finish?<br />
I think I’ll focus on this next<br />
rowing season, and make a decision<br />
then.<br />
And when you’re not rowing,<br />
or training or at school, what<br />
you like to do in your spare time?<br />
I do a lot of work for granddad<br />
in Clarkville, just helping him<br />
out. And hanging out with my<br />
brothers – I try to get to as much<br />
of their sport as I can, because<br />
they make it to mine. But between<br />
school and rowing, there’s<br />
not a lot of spare time.<br />
SCIRT programme on<br />

Learn the boating rules<br />
• BY GARY MANCH,<br />
NAVIGATIONAL SAFETY<br />
OFFICER, LYTTELTON<br />
THIS IS probably the quietest<br />
time of the year on the<br />
recreational boating front, and<br />
at the risk of repeating myself<br />
a thousand times it becomes<br />
harder and harder to write<br />
something that you may be<br />
interested in.<br />
However, as I never have<br />
been known to be short of<br />
words, I thought this week we<br />
would talk about something<br />
close to my heart and you will<br />
hopefully go away thinking<br />
“you know he is right”.<br />
When I retired from my<br />
old job and started with the<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong>master as navigation<br />
safety officer, I had this vision<br />
that I would be out there on<br />
a mission to get people to<br />
comply with our boating rules<br />
and reduce deaths, injuries,<br />
and complaints, and it would<br />
be easy.<br />
Well, guess what, it wasn’t,<br />
like anyone contemplating a<br />
mission you need to get your<br />
ducks in row first and figure<br />
out how the campaign is going<br />
to commence.<br />
I can honestly say when I<br />
started that I did not realise<br />
Pirate’s Corner<br />
how many waterways and<br />
water users we have in Canterbury,<br />
our region is over 25,000<br />
sq km, and we have many<br />
lakes, foreshores and rivers<br />
that in excess of 11 per cent of<br />
New Zealand’s recreational<br />
boat users enjoy.<br />
Up to 48,000 Cantabrians<br />
use some form of vessel in my<br />
area.<br />
So, getting back to the<br />
mission in hand, my aim<br />
was and still is, to reduce the<br />
amount of deaths, injury and<br />
reported incidents on our<br />
waterways.<br />
However, the job is bigger<br />
than I thought initially, I<br />
have two ways to achieve this,<br />
education, or enforcement, research<br />
shows that in any form<br />
of compliance work education<br />
does not always work alone<br />
and you need an enforcement<br />
component to go with this.<br />
Enforcement can range from<br />
warnings to hefty fines.<br />
I would love to prove to the<br />
researchers that education can<br />
work alone, and this is where<br />
you guys and girls come in.<br />
Learn the boating rules,<br />
comply with them, then I<br />
won’t get complaints or people<br />
hurting or even worse killing<br />
themselves or others, it is a<br />
really simple solution but hard<br />
to achieve, as we still have<br />
people in everything from<br />
rowing skiffs to powerboats<br />
who either think the rules, like<br />
wearing lifejackets, keeping<br />
our speed down, do not apply<br />
to them, in turn putting either<br />
themselves and their passengers<br />
or crews at risk.<br />
I think that it’s a no-brainer,<br />
learn the rules and be a safe<br />
boat user, bloody simple<br />
really.<br />
Have a great day.<br />
A reader responds to<br />
an article two weeks<br />
ago in <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
News on the changes<br />
to the Wairewa/<br />
Lake Forsyth<br />
catchment plan<br />
Bill Patterson –<br />
There are three things<br />
wrong with Lake Forsyth<br />
including Lake Ellesmere.<br />
1 – Too many cooks.<br />
2 – Failed to control the wild fowl<br />
who excrete far more than the stock<br />
over or in the lakes. No doubt stock<br />
excrete more on the land which is<br />
washed into those streams, waterways<br />
and rivers with the Peninsula<br />
having more than enough rainfall,<br />
besides stock spend little time at the<br />
lakes edge.<br />
3 – Can`t read the weather patterns,<br />
thus failing to keep the lakes<br />
open and give them a decent clean<br />
out.<br />
Professor Skelton is correct in<br />
his analysis, but has this governing<br />
body looked at the human effluent<br />
from septic tanks from Little River<br />
which has had a number of floods<br />
over the last five years, all emptying<br />
out into Lake Forsyth?<br />
Has the earthquake added<br />
damage to the field drains and<br />
Birdlings Flat for example. And<br />
finally what about the wild fowl that<br />
you frequently see grazing in large<br />
numbers on fields around the lake<br />
frontages and inland?<br />
A reader responds to the<br />
article on the new dog control<br />
bylaw<br />
Jenny Warmington – I have<br />
just read about these new bylaws<br />
where you can, or rather, can’t, take<br />
dogs now, in <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News.<br />
I think they are just ridiculous –<br />
what it actually says is that you can’t<br />
take your dog anywhere now. I live<br />
on Banks Peninsula and we take<br />
our small dog with us everywhere.<br />
He can be leashed if need be, but<br />
he does no damage, chases nothing<br />
or no one, just enjoys being out and<br />
about with us.<br />
This is a very unfriendly dog<br />
country we live in.<br />
If the dog is under complete control<br />
and you pick up after him/her<br />
then what is the problem?<br />
Overseas, notably the United<br />
Kingdom where we come from, you<br />
can take your dog absolutely everywhere.<br />
And everyone loves it.<br />
And NZ calls itself an animal loving<br />
country. I don’t think so.<br />

Dog sled statue to be unveiled<br />
• By Mary Jamieson, Lyttelton<br />
Lions Club secretary<br />
WHAT FUNNY weather it<br />
has been – some days the sun<br />
has been shining and then<br />
there has been a hailstorm.<br />
It is also very cold. So<br />
different from when I was<br />
recently walking through<br />
the Botanical Gardens with<br />
the Lyttelton Walking Group<br />
admiring the displays of<br />
daffodils and enjoying the<br />
early spring sunshine.<br />
Lyttelton Lions are running<br />
a barbecue next Sunday so I<br />
am keeping my fingers<br />
crossed that the<br />
lovely spring weather<br />
returns.<br />
On Saturday,<br />
October 1, at 2.30pm<br />
there will be an<br />
unveiling of a bronze<br />
sled dog statue in Albion<br />
Square.<br />
This was commissioned by<br />
the New Zealand Antarctic<br />
Society’s Canterbury branch to<br />
celebrate Lyttelton’s links with<br />
the Antarctic.<br />
Mark Whyte<br />
sculpted it and a<br />
competition was<br />
held to name the<br />
dog, and it was given<br />
the name Hector by<br />
a local student.<br />
Lyttelton Lions were very<br />
happy to support this and I<br />
am really looking forward<br />
to seeing Hector in his new<br />
home.<br />
We are always looking for<br />
new members in our club. If<br />
you are the sort of person who<br />
enjoys making new friends,<br />
having a social life and most<br />
importantly giving back to<br />
your community, why not<br />
think about getting in touch<br />
for a chat.<br />

Local Automotive Business Takes On New Direction<br />
Geographic and demographic changes in the<br />
east of the city have led to many businesses<br />
shifting with many people needing to find new<br />
service providers.<br />
It is nice to know that some businesses are still<br />
there and one example is Gainsborough Auto.<br />
They have a long established history of providing<br />
automotive repairs for people living or working<br />
in the east.<br />
This business, which has been based on its<br />
existing site for many years, recently came under<br />
new management and with it a new direction<br />
has been set to serve the growing needs of its<br />
customers.<br />
New manager, Chris Low and Office Manager,<br />
Tracey Sheehan have been working on initiatives<br />
to take the business through this transitional time<br />
so a more diverse range of automotive repairs<br />
can be delivered. Their aim is to ensure that a<br />
consistently high level of reliable automotive<br />
repairs and friendly service is offered to<br />
customers at all times.<br />
Historically, Gainsborough Auto has had a<br />
reputation for providing the complete package.<br />
Their experienced and skilled team can handle<br />
any automotive repair or servicing job, taking<br />
away any need to travel into or across town to<br />
have a particular repair carried out.<br />
“Whether it’s the teenager’s manual Honda or<br />
the family sedan we can repair them, including<br />
European and BMW. We have the experience,<br />
expertise, technology and facilities to look after<br />
any make or model of motor vehicle, including<br />
diesels,” advises Tracey.<br />
Their workshop has the latest diagnostic scan<br />
tools that read dashboard faults, along with other<br />
equipment such as their brake testing and rolling<br />
road machine which simulates a car driving on<br />
the road. They also have a transmission flush<br />
machine along with an air conditioning service<br />
that will flush out the system, cleaning out all the<br />
vents while sprucing up the carpets and seats so<br />
only clean fresh air comes out when you turn on<br />
the air conditioning.<br />
Located in a heavy commercial area,<br />
Gainsborough Auto also repair light commercial<br />
and service fleet vehicles for many major<br />
businesses based nearby, while also taking care<br />
of smaller repairs such as fixing the trailer. They<br />
also carry out Warrant of Fitness inspections and<br />
sell a full range of tyres, fit tyres and carry out<br />
puncture repairs.<br />
If needing wheels while your vehicle is being<br />
serviced, then a loan car is available and if<br />
choosing to wait, there is a comfortable, warm<br />
and welcoming waiting room complete with<br />
coffee machine, washroom and a friendly smile.<br />
Gainsborough Auto is particularly handy for<br />
people living in the south east whether in<br />
Bromley, South Brighton, Ferrymead, Mount<br />
Pleasant, Redcliffs or Sumner.<br />
To book in your vehicle for a WOF or repairs, give<br />
the friendly team at Gainsborough Auto a call<br />
on 03 384 4957. They are located at 281 Dyers<br />
Road, on the corner of Dyers Road and Francella<br />
Street, right next to Dyers’ Road ITM in Bromley.<br />

Lifesavers take silver<br />
at world champs<br />
• By Fraser Walker-Pearce<br />
TOP FEELING: Seb Johnson (second from left) with team<br />
mates Zac Reid, Lewis Clareburt and Hamish Miller after<br />
taking out silver in the Oceanman Relay.<br />
SUMNER’S SEB Johnson and<br />
coach Jonelle Quane came close<br />
to earning world champion<br />
status when the Junior Black Fins<br />
finished second at the Lifesaving<br />
World Championships.<br />
The biannual event was held in<br />
the Netherlands over the weekend,<br />
with New Zealand’s senior<br />
team, the Black Fins, winning<br />
the world title on Monday.<br />
The championship is the<br />
largest international lifesaving<br />
competition in the world.<br />
The senior squad won the<br />
national teams’ title for the third<br />
time in a row after first prising<br />
the title from Australia in Adelaide<br />
in 2012, and then winning<br />
again in France in 20<strong>14</strong>.<br />
Competitors earned points<br />
depending on their placing in<br />
each event. The junior team<br />
finished with 735. But their rivals<br />
Australia ended up trumps with<br />
926. Italy finished third on 546<br />
points.<br />
Johnson’s competition was<br />
highlighted by strong performances<br />
throughout.<br />
He was part of the team that<br />
won gold in the tube rescue and<br />
silver in the Oceanman Relay.<br />
Quane was head coach of the<br />
Junior Black Fins during the<br />
competition, and said the breakthrough<br />
performance of captain<br />
Hamish Miller helped the team<br />
along the way.<br />
“Team captain Hamish Miller<br />
led the team from every possible<br />
angle and was relentless,” she<br />
said.<br />
“His performances resulted in<br />
two individual bronze medals in<br />
the men’s board race, Oceanman<br />
race and was part of our silver<br />
medal [winning] Oceanman<br />
relay team with Seb Johnson,<br />
Lewis Clareburt and Zac Reid,”<br />
she said.<br />
Quane said another top performance<br />
came from Jamie Gedye<br />
in the bleach flags event, when<br />
she fought for third place.<br />

• By Fraser Walker-Pearce<br />
NICK JONES has only taken<br />
part in three jet ski races – but<br />
has already won two, including<br />
one on Saturday.<br />
Jones, an Ohoka plumber,<br />
was one of nearly 40 endurance<br />
riders to take part in the<br />
Lyttelton to Akaroa event last<br />
weekend.<br />
The initial race course had to<br />
be modified due to 2-3m swells<br />
at Godley Head. It was changed<br />
to two laps, starting from the<br />
harbour to Port Levy and back<br />
around Quail Island to the<br />
finish.<br />
Canterbury Jet Sports Club<br />
president Glenn Chisholm said<br />
safety had to come first when<br />
deciding on the course.<br />
“It was a compromised beginning,<br />
but when you have 2-3m<br />
swells it’s just not safe for the<br />
support boats to be out there in<br />
that . . . we were looking every<br />
half a day, constantly monitoring<br />
it for health and safety. They<br />
still did the whole course probably<br />
between 40-something and<br />
50 minutes,” he said.<br />
The overall distance covered<br />
in the race was 78km, which<br />
Jones completed in 42m 31s.<br />
“I’m stoked. Throughout the<br />
SPORTS<br />
Ohoka plumber<br />
wins jet ski race<br />
race I kept looking around to<br />
see if I was actually going in the<br />
right direction. I was actually<br />
more stoked with my average<br />
speed through the race, which<br />
was about 112km/h,” Jones said.<br />
Mr Chisholm said the club<br />
was given the choice on whether<br />
to run the original planned<br />
event, but went with the safe<br />
option so no one was injured.<br />
“The coastguard gave us that<br />
responsibility. They were happy<br />
for us to run because their boat<br />
can handle it, but I was more<br />
concerned for our support<br />
boats,” he said.<br />
“There were no injuries, we<br />
had one ski blow up, but they<br />
are machines, they do that. It<br />
was the only two stroke there.”<br />
The club is now moving into<br />
their summer season and will<br />
be hosting events around the<br />
city, including races at Lake<br />
Roto Kohatu, Harewood, and<br />
New Brighton.<br />

The 3 Step Plan to Make<br />
Healthy Habits Stick<br />
Health and Wellness Coach Annabelle Matson gives us her 3 step<br />
plan on how to make healthy habit stick. Add, modify and delete,<br />
it’s as easy as ABC<br />
When it comes to eating<br />
habits and making<br />
improvements to our<br />
health in general, trying<br />
to change absolutely everything about<br />
our lifestyle overnight, very rarely<br />
works. We often think: “if I can’t eat /<br />
do things perfectly, I shouldn’t bother<br />
at all”. As a recovering perfectionist I<br />
totally get that. However this clearly<br />
doesn’t support success. It just keeps us<br />
stuck right where we are, on the dieting<br />
roller coaster, never seeing results for<br />
the long term.<br />
I always say to my clients, “overtime<br />
not overnight”. We want to do things<br />
gradually, because that’s what results in<br />
permanent change. Why weight loss and<br />
many health programs often don’t work,<br />
is because we go from eating whatever<br />
we want, to restricting everything.<br />
So instead of drastically restricting<br />
everything, use my 3 step tool – add,<br />
modify and delete.<br />
A: Pick one thing you want to add<br />
Your Local<br />
Friendly<br />
Dental<br />
Team<br />
B: Pick one thing you want to modify<br />
C: Pick one thing you want to delete<br />
For example:<br />
Add: A morning meditation to centre<br />
you for the day.<br />
Modify: Refined sugar intake. Alcohol<br />
is a huge source of sugar – so instead of<br />
drinking during the week, stick to a few<br />
just on the weekends.<br />
Delete: Eating after 8pm.<br />

Commit to the add, modify, delete plan for 30 days. Once that all becomes a habit –<br />
start a new add, modify, delete plan.<br />
When you do steps incrementally like that, it creates new habits. You won’t feel<br />
overwhelmed and it feels really manageable. Like magic, it all starts to become a<br />
lifestyle that you LOVE and that are you motivated to sustain.<br />

BAY HARBOUR<br />
REAL ESTATE<br />
Birdling’s Flat – something completely different<br />
$179,000<br />
2 bedrooms | 1 bathroom | 900 m2 Land Area - Freehold Tenure<br />
What a fascinating property and a true reflection<br />
of the vendor’s vision and hard work. The vendors<br />
have turned this bare piece of land into something<br />
quite special. They have fully fenced this level 900m2<br />
property, then proceeded to add so much value.<br />
Two very tidy caravans, roofed and with indoor/<br />
outdoor living areas attached. Wonderful BBQ and<br />
entertaining areas, numerous useful sheds and a<br />
container. Mains water and power, shower-room and<br />
bathroom, composting toilet, very nicely planted and<br />
landscaped and the quality of the builders work is<br />
superb. Cleverly done so there is still room to build<br />
a house if desired and the icing on the cake is that it<br />
comes fully furnished and decorated, nice artwork,<br />
seating, BBQ, quad bike. Six wheel Argo ATV, jet-ski,<br />
aluminium boat and outboard etc etc. Just move in<br />
and enjoy this unique property, such good value here.<br />
For a private viewing, contact Tim Dunningham<br />
of Min Sarginson Real Estate (Licensed Agent<br />
REAA 2008), phone 027 651 5474 or 329 4161<br />

Paul Lonsdale Councillor for Heathcote<br />
Consistency will be Essential
Paul Lonsdale<br />
Co<br />
I am a Cantabrian who is independent and not aligned to any<br />
political party or local candidate group.<br />
I am married to Denise and together we<br />
have three children.<br />
I have served three years as Councillor<br />
for the Hagley Ferrymead ward, which is<br />
arguably one of the most affected in the<br />
city. It has been a very busy time with<br />
a lot of planning and decision-making<br />
around building resilience for the future<br />
and working closely with the affected<br />
communities on how we achieve that.<br />
Throughout this term I have always been<br />
accessible even during times of heavy<br />
workload. This has enabled me to develop<br />
an intimate knowledge and understanding<br />
of all the local issues.<br />
With the changes to the wards boundaries,<br />
I am standing for the new Heathcote ward.<br />
I am committed to the area being at the<br />
I now carry a large<br />
amount of knowledge<br />
setting me<br />
apart from other<br />
candidates.<br />
early planning stages of building our new<br />
family home in Heathcote.<br />
I came into council knowing that this term<br />
would not be easy but wanted to be a<br />
part of working with the community to<br />
develop a new future for this city. We have<br />
worked hard to get our finances in order<br />
and we have worked hard to build back<br />
trust with the government. Most of all we<br />
have worked hard to build back trust with<br />
our community. We have come a long way<br />
from when I took office three years ago.<br />
Over this term I have been involved in all<br />
aspects of the council and its subsidiaries. I<br />
believed this necessary to give me a better<br />
understanding of how the council works<br />
and the ability to influence their direction.<br />
I now carry a large amount of knowledge<br />
setting me apart from other candidates.<br />
Safer Christchurch<br />
I have a bold vision that Christchurch is the safest city in New Zealand<br />
I remember the day Christchurch first<br />
received accreditation as an international<br />
safe city; at the time I was the manager of the<br />
Central City and a big part of my role was to<br />
help reduce the anti-social behaviors.<br />
I worked with a number of agencies including<br />
the police and the city council to reduce inner<br />
city issues and just prior the earthquakes<br />
the police were about to release their latest<br />
statistics highlighting we had radically<br />
reduced anti social behavior.<br />
Christchurch was the first large city in New<br />
Zealand to receive safe city accreditation<br />
from the World Health Organization and this<br />
accreditation helped dispel the popular belief<br />
- fueled by the media - that Christchurch was<br />
an unsafe city.<br />
When I became chair of Safer Christchurch<br />
in March last year I was disappointed to see<br />
that our safe city accreditation had been<br />
suspended.<br />
I worked with our staff and strategic partners<br />
to refresh our safe city strategy which<br />
we completed June this year along with<br />
regaining our accreditation.<br />
Having the feeling of safety is a basic human<br />
right so I have a bold vision that Christchurch<br />
is the safest city in New Zealand<br />
When you have strong communities you have<br />
a strong city so this strategy aims to ensure<br />
that all community members, including those<br />
who are disadvantaged and vulnerable feel<br />
safe and welcome and are able to participate<br />
in city life.<br />
To achieve this we have identified some key principles and<br />
priorities to get us to our goal:<br />
Priority 1: Proactive partnerships that<br />
have a shared commitment to a safe city<br />
Priority 2: Reducing and preventing<br />
injuries<br />
Injury in New Zealand both intentional<br />
and unintentional is the leading cause of<br />
death among people aged 1 – 34<br />
Priority 3: Reducing and preventing the<br />
incidence and effects of crime<br />
We will to work with key stakeholders<br />
to identify and respond to crime, fear of<br />
crime, and antisocial behavior issues.<br />
Priority 4: Enhancing safety on our roads<br />
Between 2010 and 20<strong>14</strong>, 53% of crashes<br />
in Christchurch occurred at intersections.<br />
So we will support the implementation<br />
of the road safety action plan for<br />
Christchurch city.<br />
Priority 5: Building in safety<br />
We have the best opportunity to build in<br />
safety while we are rebuilding our roads,<br />
footpaths and buildings. This will support<br />
making the city and neighborhoods<br />
vibrant, safe and inclusive.<br />
Paul Lonsdale Councillor for Heathcote<br />
Consistency will be Essential

Experience. Passion. Commitment.<br />
Our Waterways<br />
I want to see us continue to improve<br />
the quality of our waterways.<br />
Because good water quality is essential for<br />
supporting ecosystems, recreation, cultural values<br />
and the health of our residents.<br />
Through the development of our long-term plan<br />
we have budgeted for upgrading our wastewater<br />
and stormwater infrastructure, which will reduce<br />
contaminants getting into our waterways.<br />
However, we need to continue our programme of<br />
waterway and wetland plantings and also working<br />
with community groups and others to protect our<br />
waterways.<br />
We need to harness<br />
modern technology to help us<br />
monitor not only our water but<br />
also our air quality.<br />
When I get time I like to get out and help support<br />
the local groups like the Mahoe-nui bush restoration<br />
project and local rubbish cleanups. It is a great way<br />
for me to help out and get some exercise in.<br />
However, we also need to continue to build the<br />
knowledge of our waterways through monitoring.<br />
To do this, Christchurch joined other major New<br />
Zealand cities as partners in the NEC, which aims to<br />
enable New Zealand to become a smart nation.<br />
We need to harness modern technology to help us<br />
monitor not only our water but also our air quality.<br />
This term’s involvements<br />
Over this term I have been involved in all aspects of the<br />
council and its subsidiaries.<br />
This has not only given me a greater understanding of the council and the<br />
community, it has also given me a huge amount of knowledge to assist the<br />
community to drive progress, which sets me apart from other candidates.<br />
I am also on six boards and all my directors’ fees have been donated to the<br />
mayoral relief fund. However, I still carry the workload and the liabilities that<br />
come with those appointments.<br />

Key Pieces of work<br />
this term:<br />
Chair of Safer Christchurch<br />
Interagency Group.<br />
The city had lost its safe city<br />
accreditation so when I took over<br />
chairing the group in March last year;<br />
my goal was to regain accreditation as<br />
an International Safe City. I achieved<br />
that result in June this year along with<br />
a refreshing Safer Christchurch Strategy<br />
and remodeling the governance group.<br />
Worked with the building<br />
control group to help<br />
formulate what is now<br />
known as the “end to end”<br />
process.<br />
I was involved in setting up the pilot<br />
programme, which now has become<br />
synonymous with best practice.<br />
Chair of the Capital<br />
Endowment Fund Working<br />
Group.<br />
Looking at ways to maximize the $100<br />
million dollar fund’s returns to the<br />
council.<br />
Reforming the delivery and<br />
management of the Council<br />
Social Housing<br />
with the set up of the housing<br />
management board through to<br />
establishing a new trust to take over<br />
and manage the councils social<br />
housing. This has been a massive piece<br />
of work of which the value cannot<br />
be underestimated as currently the<br />
portfolio losses $680k a month.<br />
Worked closely with the<br />
Christchurch Adventure Park<br />
to find a funding source so Christchurch<br />
did not lose that opportunity. The<br />
council committed to investing $2m into<br />
the project late last year.<br />

Annual Plan<br />
Through this last annual plan process I was<br />
very pleased to see that our careful hand and<br />
conservative approach in developing and setting<br />
the long term plan direction has provided some<br />
good news for Christchurch.<br />
We have enabled lower borrowing, lower rate increases and a delay<br />
in the capital release programme.<br />
This will give us time to consider more innovative ways we can fund<br />
our future borrowing to ensure we bounce forward as a city.<br />
These changes are largely due to a higher growth rate than was<br />
expected within the city’s rating base, an $80m greater insurance<br />
payout than was budgeted for through the long term plan.<br />
Obviously the major contributor to this good news was the<br />
insurance settlement prior to Christmas delivering an $80m<br />
decrease to what we had budgeted for in our long-term plan.<br />
I am also pleased to see we are taking a more realistic approach to<br />
our capital programme, but I am also mindful that we have a lot of<br />
work to do in this space and if there were ways we could speed this<br />
up that we would look for ways to make this happen.<br />
We need to continue to streamline our processes and prudent<br />
financial management of our operational expenditure so we can<br />
deliver greater savings without the loss of quality of service.<br />
We often get complaints about the state of our road-side gardens,<br />
weeds in road median strips, so I want to see the council hold our<br />
contractors accountable and ensure they are delivering what we are<br />
paying for.<br />
This will give us time to<br />
consider more innovative ways we can<br />
fund our future borrowing to ensure we<br />
bounce forward as a city.<br />
Obesity Issue<br />
We need to get more people<br />
walking, cycling and using<br />
public transport.<br />
I was astonished to learn that New<br />
Zealand has one of the worst obesity<br />
rates in the world. We need to get our<br />
people walking and cycling more to help<br />
reduce this obesity issue.<br />
The proportion of residents who believe<br />
we are a cycle friendly city has fallen<br />
from a low 54% to a ridiculously low<br />
27%. So we need to stay committed to<br />
building our major and local cycle ways.<br />
We need to commit to completing<br />
leisure walkways like the coastal<br />
pathway and get on and repair our<br />
footpaths and create pedestrian areas<br />
that are safe and attractive to walk<br />
around.<br />
We also need to assist getting<br />
commuters out of their cars and onto<br />
our public transport system. However,<br />
we need to make sure that our public<br />
transport system is efficient, safe and<br />
dependable.<br />
If we don’t – there will be 70,000 more<br />
car trips through the city on a daily basis.<br />
Our roads just will not be able to cope.<br />
I have observed<br />
Paul Lonsdale mature as a City<br />
Councillor since he was elected.<br />
He is thoughtful in debates and<br />
a good listener. He is a strong<br />
advocate for his constituents and<br />
I would have been delighted to<br />
have him as a member of any<br />
City Council I presided over.<br />
~ Garry Moore, former mayor<br />
of Christchurch<br />
Every election is important and just as important is your<br />
vote. The city is now halfway through its rebuild and we<br />
need you to provide direction, so make your vote count.<br />
I have served this community for three years now and<br />
want to continue to do so for another term. I have<br />
represented this community well and we have got a lot<br />
over the line, including funding for the Coastal Pathway,<br />
Scarborough Paddling Pool, Sumner Library, Museum<br />
and Community Centre, Redcliffs Volunteer Library, Mt<br />
Pleasant Community Centre and Heathcote Volunteer<br />
Library just to name some of the more significant<br />
projects.<br />
Some of the issues<br />
council should address<br />
in the next three years:<br />
• Improving the quality of our waterways<br />
• Get more people walking, cycling and using<br />
public transport<br />
• Reduce natural hazard risk and improve our<br />
ability to respond<br />
• Increase our sense of belonging<br />
• Revitalise our central city<br />
• Speed up repair of our roads and footpaths<br />
• Continue to strengthen local communities<br />
by empowering them with a hand up, not a<br />
hand out approach to the way we deliver local<br />
outcomes<br />
• Reduce the need for rate rises through<br />
prudent financial management<br />
