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

News.......................................3-8
JACK LOPAS has a huge rowing
future ahead of him and Bridget
Rutherford profiles the Little River
17-year-old on pages 10-11.
He’s back from the Netherlands
where he won gold at the junior
world champs – just in time for
his NCEA exams at Christchurch
Boys’ High School.
Lopas has a huge amount of
natural sporting talent, and also
has rowing in his genes. But what
separates the champions from the
pack is the willingness and determination
to go that bit further in
training, and of course that extra
percentage up top.
On another note, it appears our
front page article last week on the
coastal hazards LIM issue has had
an impact on city hall. They’ve
delayed their latest course of action
and will now meet with the

group fighting this huge issue. See Lyttelton residents dressed in Victorian garb to

Sara TEMPLETON
Councillor for Heathcote
Hi again – As chair of the Hagley Ferrymead
Community Board for the last three years, I have
worked hard for our communities.
I am now standing for Council as promised meaningful
engagement with communities and
local decision making have not yet happened.
It is at Council level that these changes are made.
We need strong communities for a stronger,
more sustainable and thriving Christchurch.
We need councillors with community

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

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

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

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

Big claims for mileage
• By Annabelle Dick and Bridget
Rutherford
MORE THAN $30,000 has been
claimed by city councillors and
community board members in
mileage this term and that figure
is likely to increase considerably.
Community board members
and a city councillor representing
Banks Peninsula made
up the majority of those who
claimed back their mileage costs
over the past three years.
Representatives from the
Akaroa-Wairewa Community
Board and the Lyttelton-Mt
Herbert Community Board have
claimed $33,079.31 in mileage
payment.
Akaroa-Wairewa Community
Board chairwoman Pam Richardson
got $11,468 back from the
city council, which made up a
third of the total claims.
Lyttelton-Mt Herbert Community
Board chairwoman
Paula Smith came in second at
$7819, while Banks Peninsula
city councillor Andrew Turner
claimed $6868.
City councillors and community
board members can claim
back 74c for every kilometre
they travel over 30km when they
are going to and from council
or board business in their own
vehicles.
Pam Richardson
Banks Peninsula representatives
have to drive further to
get to council-related meetings,
because the wards cover a larger
area.
As wards have changed with
the representation review, the
two Banks Peninsula community
boards will become one
and meetings will be held at Lyttelton’s
new boardroom.
Mrs Richardson, who lives
in Pigeon Bay, and serves on
the Akaroa-Wairewa Community
Board, said with the two
boards merging after October’s
elections, the amount of travel
would increase.
“For prospective members
it will be considerably more
travel,” Mrs Richardson said.
Ms Smith, who lives in
Diamond Harbour, won’t be
standing in the next local body
elections but she said mileage
costs will increase for both
the city council and the board
members.
“It will increase and so will the
cost to the elected representatives
and their families because
the rules set means you only get
reimbersed for the mileage you
do over 30km. For example I
do about $8000 worth of mileage
but there’s a big proportion
I’m paying myself because my
journeys are less than 30km,”
she said.
Remuneration and expenses,
including mileage, are set by the
Remuneration Authority and
the city council provides the appropriate
support.
Of the 28 community board
representatives and 13 city councillors
in the city, only five board
members and two city councillors
claimed their mileage back,
in total costing the city council
$33,990.
Akaroa-Wairewa Community
Board members Lyndon Graham
and Janis Haley claimed
$5431 and $1490 respectively.
OFFICIALLY OPEN: New World Ferry Rd was opened
by Port Hills MP Ruth Dyson (left) and members of the
Boock family, Oliver Gardiner, Greg Boock, Lily, Macy,
Hunter and Rebecca. The store has been built next to
the old one, near the Woolston shops. It has taken a year
to rebuild and, once the old store is demolished, there
will also be more car parks. Owner-operator Greg Boock
said the store is in “fantastic shape” and he was pleased
to open it to shoppers for the first time.

Harbour will be monitored
before proposed dredging
• By Annabelle Dick
WATER QUALITY monitoring
is underway for the Lyttelton
Port of Christchurch’s proposed
dredging project.
The $3 million operation
began in Lyttelton Harbour
on Friday in what is the largest
environmental monitoring
programme ever undertaken
for a dredging project in New
Zealand.
LPC is proposing to dredge
the shipping channel so larger
container ships can visit the port.
The proposal is still waiting on
resource consent from the city
council.
LPC will install 14 water
quality buoys and monitoring
equipment on the sea floor
throughout the harbour, Port
Levy and offshore marine areas
to capture live information.
Water clarity, pH level,
temperature and nutrient levels
will be measured and a summary
of the data will be sent to a
website every 15 minutes.
LPC chief executive Peter
Davie said information from the
sites will enable the proposed
dredging operations to be
constantly managed.
“While the company is
committed to future-proofing

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

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

Bodybuilder turns pro
STRIKE AS POSE: Dan
Gerrard posed on stage
to win an international
competition after only one
year on the circuit.
• By Annabelle Dick
A FERRYMEAD fitness model
has graduated from amateur to
professional competitions after
taking out his category at an
international bodybuilding event.
F45 Training Ferrymead manager
Dan Gerrard, 23, won the
fitness category at the Pan Pacific
Championships/NZ International
Pro Am and received a pro-card,
meaning he’s now considered
a World Fitness Federation pro
athlete.
“It was really interesting. I did
things a bit differently; I had a big
focus on work and the stuff I was
doing for F45 so I was just trying
to enjoy the process a lot more
and it paid off,” he said.
The competition incorporated
bodybuilding, figure and fitness
and was held in Auckland
recently.
The win now means Gerrard
will be able to compete alongside
top bodybuilders from around
the world.
“Competing as an amateur, it’s
all self-funded and you’re doing
it for yourself. Whereas, as a pro
athlete, I would only be able to
enter against other professionals
in shows and there’s more monetary
value involved,” he said.
Gerrard has been training in
the gym since he was 16 and
has spent the last year prepping
and competing in bodybuilding,
figure and fitness events as a male
sports model.
Gerrard initially trained in
karate but an injury put him out
of practice so he decided to use
fitness bodybuilding as a competitive
outlet.
“It was never a goal to get on
stage and compete, but I was
competing in karate and I got
injured in 2014 and that ended
my competing. So when I was
going through the rehab process,
setting goals to do a competition,
that was what got me motivated
and back on track,” he said.
His first show was the Christchurch
Grand Prix, where he won
his category and qualified for the
Southern Hemisphere Championships
earlier this year.
Gerrard also qualified for Mr
Universe but didn’t have the
freedom or support to go to the
United States for the competition.
His also competed in the
Southern Hemisphere Championships
on the Gold Coast in June
this year, where he came second
overall.
Gerrard plans to travel to Asia
and Australia to follow the bodybuilding
circuit.
UNKNOWN FATE: A decision on the future of Yew Cottage
has been delayed.

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

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

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

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

by mid October.
• Governors Bay water main repairs were completed in August.
• Lyttelton is still busy with ongoing retaining wall repairs, underground pipe and roading
repairs will continue through to the end of the year.
• Work on Evans Pass retaining wall has started with rock stabilisation, and will be
finished by December.

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

Dog sled statue to be unveiled
• By Mary Jamieson, Lyttelton
Lions Club secretary
WHAT FUNNY weather it
has been – some days the sun
has been shining and then
there has been a hailstorm.
It is also very cold. So
different from when I was
recently walking through
the Botanical Gardens with
the Lyttelton Walking Group
admiring the displays of
daffodils and enjoying the
early spring sunshine.
Lyttelton Lions are running
a barbecue next Sunday so I
am keeping my fingers
crossed that the
lovely spring weather
returns.
On Saturday,
October 1, at 2.30pm
there will be an
unveiling of a bronze
sled dog statue in Albion
Square.
This was commissioned by
the New Zealand Antarctic
Society’s Canterbury branch to
celebrate Lyttelton’s links with
the Antarctic.
Mark Whyte
sculpted it and a
competition was
held to name the
dog, and it was given
the name Hector by
a local student.
Lyttelton Lions were very
happy to support this and I
am really looking forward
to seeing Hector in his new
home.
We are always looking for
new members in our club. If
you are the sort of person who
enjoys making new friends,
having a social life and most
importantly giving back to
your community, why not
think about getting in touch
for a chat.
Our president can be
reached on 384 6124 or 027

Local Automotive Business Takes On New Direction
Geographic and demographic changes in the
east of the city have led to many businesses
shifting with many people needing to find new
service providers.
It is nice to know that some businesses are still
there and one example is Gainsborough Auto.
They have a long established history of providing
automotive repairs for people living or working
in the east.
This business, which has been based on its
existing site for many years, recently came under
new management and with it a new direction
has been set to serve the growing needs of its
customers.
New manager, Chris Low and Office Manager,
Tracey Sheehan have been working on initiatives
to take the business through this transitional time
so a more diverse range of automotive repairs
can be delivered. Their aim is to ensure that a
consistently high level of reliable automotive
repairs and friendly service is offered to
customers at all times.
Historically, Gainsborough Auto has had a
reputation for providing the complete package.
Their experienced and skilled team can handle
any automotive repair or servicing job, taking
away any need to travel into or across town to

tools that read dashboard faults, along with other
equipment such as their brake testing and rolling
road machine which simulates a car driving on
the road. They also have a transmission flush
machine along with an air conditioning service

Lifesavers take silver
at world champs
• By Fraser Walker-Pearce
TOP FEELING: Seb Johnson (second from left) with team
mates Zac Reid, Lewis Clareburt and Hamish Miller after
taking out silver in the Oceanman Relay.
SUMNER’S SEB Johnson and
coach Jonelle Quane came close
to earning world champion
status when the Junior Black Fins
finished second at the Lifesaving
World Championships.
The biannual event was held in
the Netherlands over the weekend,
with New Zealand’s senior
team, the Black Fins, winning
the world title on Monday.
The championship is the
largest international lifesaving
competition in the world.
The senior squad won the
national teams’ title for the third
time in a row after first prising
the title from Australia in Adelaide
in 2012, and then winning
again in France in 2014.
Competitors earned points
depending on their placing in
each event. The junior team
finished with 735. But their rivals
Australia ended up trumps with
926. Italy finished third on 546
points.
Johnson’s competition was
highlighted by strong performances
throughout.
He was part of the team that
won gold in the tube rescue and
silver in the Oceanman Relay.
Quane was head coach of the
Junior Black Fins during the
competition, and said the breakthrough
performance of captain
Hamish Miller helped the team
along the way.
“Team captain Hamish Miller
led the team from every possible
angle and was relentless,” she
said.
“His performances resulted in
two individual bronze medals in
the men’s board race, Oceanman
race and was part of our silver
medal [winning] Oceanman
relay team with Seb Johnson,
Lewis Clareburt and Zac Reid,”
she said.
Quane said another top performance
came from Jamie Gedye
in the bleach flags event, when
she fought for third place.

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

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

Bush Inn Centre: 348 7867
Commit to the add, modify, delete plan for 30 days. Once that all becomes a habit –
start a new add, modify, delete plan.
When you do steps incrementally like that, it creates new habits. You won’t feel
overwhelmed and it feels really manageable. Like magic, it all starts to become a
lifestyle that you LOVE and that are you motivated to sustain.

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

Paul Lonsdale Councillor for Heathcote
Consistency will be Essential
Paul Lonsdale
Co
I am a Cantabrian who is independent and not aligned to any
political party or local candidate group.
I am married to Denise and together we
have three children.
I have served three years as Councillor
for the Hagley Ferrymead ward, which is
arguably one of the most affected in the
city. It has been a very busy time with
a lot of planning and decision-making
around building resilience for the future
and working closely with the affected
communities on how we achieve that.
Throughout this term I have always been
accessible even during times of heavy
workload. This has enabled me to develop
an intimate knowledge and understanding
of all the local issues.
With the changes to the wards boundaries,
I am standing for the new Heathcote ward.
I am committed to the area being at the
I now carry a large
amount of knowledge
setting me
apart from other
candidates.
early planning stages of building our new
family home in Heathcote.
I came into council knowing that this term
would not be easy but wanted to be a
part of working with the community to
develop a new future for this city. We have
worked hard to get our finances in order
and we have worked hard to build back
trust with the government. Most of all we
have worked hard to build back trust with
our community. We have come a long way
from when I took office three years ago.
Over this term I have been involved in all
aspects of the council and its subsidiaries. I
believed this necessary to give me a better
understanding of how the council works
and the ability to influence their direction.
I now carry a large amount of knowledge
setting me apart from other candidates.
Safer Christchurch
I have a bold vision that Christchurch is the safest city in New Zealand
I remember the day Christchurch first
received accreditation as an international
safe city; at the time I was the manager of the
Central City and a big part of my role was to
help reduce the anti-social behaviors.
I worked with a number of agencies including
the police and the city council to reduce inner
city issues and just prior the earthquakes
the police were about to release their latest
statistics highlighting we had radically
reduced anti social behavior.
Christchurch was the first large city in New
Zealand to receive safe city accreditation
from the World Health Organization and this
accreditation helped dispel the popular belief
- fueled by the media - that Christchurch was
an unsafe city.
When I became chair of Safer Christchurch
in March last year I was disappointed to see
that our safe city accreditation had been
suspended.
I worked with our staff and strategic partners
to refresh our safe city strategy which
we completed June this year along with
regaining our accreditation.
Having the feeling of safety is a basic human
right so I have a bold vision that Christchurch
is the safest city in New Zealand
When you have strong communities you have
a strong city so this strategy aims to ensure
that all community members, including those
who are disadvantaged and vulnerable feel
safe and welcome and are able to participate
in city life.
To achieve this we have identified some key principles and
priorities to get us to our goal:
Priority 1: Proactive partnerships that
have a shared commitment to a safe city
Priority 2: Reducing and preventing
injuries
Injury in New Zealand both intentional
and unintentional is the leading cause of
death among people aged 1 – 34
Priority 3: Reducing and preventing the
incidence and effects of crime
We will to work with key stakeholders
to identify and respond to crime, fear of
crime, and antisocial behavior issues.
Priority 4: Enhancing safety on our roads
Between 2010 and 2014, 53% of crashes
in Christchurch occurred at intersections.
So we will support the implementation
of the road safety action plan for
Christchurch city.
Priority 5: Building in safety
We have the best opportunity to build in
safety while we are rebuilding our roads,
footpaths and buildings. This will support
making the city and neighborhoods
vibrant, safe and inclusive.
Paul Lonsdale Councillor for Heathcote
Consistency will be Essential
uncil
Experience. Passion. Commitment.
Our Waterways
I want to see us continue to improve
the quality of our waterways.
Because good water quality is essential for
supporting ecosystems, recreation, cultural values
and the health of our residents.
Through the development of our long-term plan
we have budgeted for upgrading our wastewater
and stormwater infrastructure, which will reduce
contaminants getting into our waterways.
However, we need to continue our programme of
waterway and wetland plantings and also working
with community groups and others to protect our
waterways.
We need to harness
modern technology to help us
monitor not only our water but
also our air quality.
When I get time I like to get out and help support
the local groups like the Mahoe-nui bush restoration
project and local rubbish cleanups. It is a great way
for me to help out and get some exercise in.
However, we also need to continue to build the
knowledge of our waterways through monitoring.
To do this, Christchurch joined other major New
Zealand cities as partners in the NEC, which aims to
enable New Zealand to become a smart nation.
We need to harness modern technology to help us
monitor not only our water but also our air quality.
This term’s involvements
Over this term I have been involved in all aspects of the
council and its subsidiaries.
This has not only given me a greater understanding of the council and the
community, it has also given me a huge amount of knowledge to assist the
community to drive progress, which sets me apart from other candidates.
I am also on six boards and all my directors’ fees have been donated to the
mayoral relief fund. However, I still carry the workload and the liabilities that
come with those appointments.

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

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