Jetty decision tomorrow

• By Annabelle Dick

IT’S A day Governors Bay

residents have waited nearly

two years for.

Tomorrow, the city council

will decide whether it will sell

the jetty to the Governors Bay

Jetty Restoration Trust.

The trust has been fighting to

buy the damaged jetty and fully

restore it to save it from being

demolished or abandoned.

Trust member Phil Jackson

said it’s been a long battle but

it’s likely the jetty will be sold to

the trust.

“We’ve been working very

hard for this – it’s an amazing

asset that we don’t want to lose

and there’s a real passion to save

it. A city council staff report

found it’s the number one

option to sell it to the trust but

everything is weighting on the

meeting,” he said.

The jetty has been closed

since the February 22 earthquake,

due to its unsafe condition,

and it’s estimated to cost

more than $3 million to repair.

The city council has been

given four options on what to

do with the jetty – sell it to the

trust to repair and buy it back,

which is the most preferred

option, abandon it, demolish it

or council to undertake repairs.

News......................3-6, 13-14

IT’S GREAT to see a community

group taking charge of its situation.

I’m talking about the Governors

Bay Jetty Restoration Trust which

hopefully tomorrow will be able to

buy the earthquake damaged jetty

for $1.

The trust has ambitious plans to

take control of the jetty, raise the

bulk of the $3 million plus needed

to repair it and then sell the jetty

back to the city council for $1.

The city council will then maintain

it in the future.

It’s a fantastic plan by the trust.

The jetty is a real drawcard for the

bay.

The trust has been fighting to buy

the damaged jetty and fully restore

it to save it from being demolished

or abandoned.

You have to applaud them for

that.

It’s a no brainer that the

city council accepts the dollar

tomorrow. – Barry Clarke

In Brief

VACANT: Redcliffs Pharmacy owner Daryl Sayer has an empty car park behind his business, which can’t be accessed due to

the closure of Beachville Rd as a result of road works.

Parking nightmare for businesses


A PUBLIC car park closure

on Beachville Rd has made

parking a nightmare for

Redcliffs businesses and

customers.

The closure of Beachville Rd

due to road works has blocked

access to the main car park

used by nearby businesses.

SCIRT is working on kerb

and channel installation and

sealing the carriageway at the

southern end of the road.

The car park on Beachville

Rd is the main parking option,

but now people can only park

on Main Rd or elsewhere if they

want to access shops.

Redcliffs Pharmacy owner

Daryl Sayer said the repairs

have been a big hassle to businesses

and people trying to

access them.

“We’ve got a fairly sizeable

car park at the back of the

pharmacy that services the

pharmacy, the fashion shop and

the cafeteria, but that’s inaccessible,”

he said.

The car park behind the Main

Rd shops has room for about 15

to 20 cars.

Mr Sayer said not having

anywhere to park has turned

people away from coming into

their stores.

“We’re suffering as a result, as

people have nowhere to stop,”

he said.

Redcliffs New World has

tried to remedy the problem by

allowing people to park in their

car park while the work takes

place.

Mr Sayer posted on the pharmacy’s

Facebook page to let

people know the supermarket

is an option if they struggle to

find parking.

“Some people have been

(parking there), but some feel

they can’t so I told people we

had (New World’s) blessing to

do that,” he said.

SCIRT is repairing the southern

corner but the northern

intersection was supposed to be

open to traffic.

Instead, SCIRT has closed

both ends of the road making it

inaccessible.

“They said the Beachville Rd

section should be open, but

they’ve totally closed it off, so

there’s no parking there at all,”

Mr Sayer said.

The repairs are expected to

finish around Monday, September

26, and the intersection will

be reopened.

SCIRT will then move onto

repairing the north end of

Beachville Rd and northern access

will be closed.

INJURED PASSENGER

One person was injured and two

others escaped relatively unscathed

after a car accident in Rapaki on

Sunday night. The car rolled on

Governors Bay Rd coming into

Rapaki at about 9pm. The injured

passenger was taken to hospital by

ambulance with light to moderate

injuries. The scene was cleared 30

minutes after the accident.

TSUNAMI TEST SIREN

A tsunami warning siren test will be

held this Sunday at 11am along the

coastline from Brooklands to Taylors

Mistake. The city council tests the sirens

on the first Sunday of April and

the last Sunday of September each

year. The sirens will last about three

minutes. A network of sirens warn

the public to evacuate coastal areas

when there is a tsunami coming from

a long distance.

ELECTRIC CAR CHARGE

The Hagley-Ferrymead Community

Board will decide whether an electric

vehicle charging station will be

installed on Nayland St in a board

meeting today. If the proposal is

accepted, parking on the south side

of Nayland St will be restricted to

a 60 minute time limit and will

be reserved for electric vehicles to

charge their batteries. In October

2015, the city council adopted the

Christchurch Energy Action Plan,

which targets the uptake of electric

vehicles.

Voting in the local body elections closes on October 8. Bay Harbour News asked candidates to send

in why they should get your vote. Bay Harbour News area is covered by two wards – Heathcote

and Banks Peninsula. A city councillor is elected from each, except for Banks Peninsula where city

councillor Andrew Turner stands unopposed. Two people will be selected from the Heathcote ward

to be on the Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community Board. Two people will be selected from the

ashion

Akaroa subdivison for the Banks Peninsula Community Board, but not in the Lyttelton subdivision

where Jed O’Donoghue and Christine Wilson stand unopposed, the Mt Herbert subdivision where Felix Dawson and John McLister stand unopposed

and the Wairewa subdivision where Tori Peden stands unopposed.

Heathcote ward – city councillor

Paul Lonsdale

I have served three years as councillor

for the Hagley-Ferrymead ward. We

have been busy with a lot of planning

Gardening

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. We have come a long way from

three years ago and I believe consistency will be essential

in the coming term to continue on the solid path we have

created.

Craig Todd

Having lived in the Heathcote ward the majority

of my life I have been lucky to enjoy the benefits

this community has to offer. With greater powers

for decision making being handed to community

boards, if elected I would work hard, listen to and

make sure the community voice is heard in regards

to facilities and infrastructure to achieve the best outcome for all.

I believe I have the passion and experience to make a valuable

contribution to the well-being and benefit of our community.

After six years of Government-appointed commissioners

at the helm, people can once again cast a vote for

representation onto the Environment Canterbury. The

area is represented by the Christchurch Constituency, with

four candidates to be elected.

Dr Cynthia

Roberts

(People’s

Choice):

I am an ecologist

and I live on

the estuary. I

am passionate

about protecting Canterbury’s

drinking water, our waterways

and our coastline. Like us,

our native species depend

on a healthy, flourishing

environment to thrive. In

standing for ECan, I want to

use my scientific skills to find

Previously

United Travel

solutions to more sustainably

managing our environment

including improving our

public transport. I bring to

the role skills and qualities

gained as a parent, a teacher, in

tertiary management, running

an ecotourism business and as

a science advisor for DOC.

In the

lead-up

to the

local body

elections,

Bay Harbour News asked city councillor candidates

their views on a topical issue within the community. This

week, we ask Heathcote ward city council candidates

what they think the city council should do in response to

homeowners’ pleas to remove coastal hazard information

the Coastal Hazards Assessment Report.

Elections 16

City councillor Paul Lonsdale: Residents and ratepayers need

to be assured that I am working at city council level on this issue. It

was very positive that the mayor met with members of Christchurch

Coastal Residents United recently. We are now working together

around the whole issue of coastal hazards going forward. The issue

of coastal hazards is a serious one for Christchurch and coastal

residents. The Tonkin & Taylor report was subjected to a second

expert peer review which found problems with aspects of the report

and recommended changes be made. It is clear that the scientific

experts believe that the report as it currently stands requires further

research and work. We need to ensure that the information that we

use is the correct information and currently this is not the case. I

am committed to working towards ensuring that any coastal hazard

information used is the correct information.

City councillor Sara Templeton: Climate change and

subsequent impacts of sea level rise are going to be one of the most

important issues for the next city council to address. Open and

transparent communication with the wider community is going to

be essential. While there is vocal opposition to the information being

on LIMS there are also many thousands of people who haven’t had

the chance to express an opinion and there are many who realise that

issues such as coastal inundation and erosion cannot be ignored.

I have not seen the current wording, but the city council is legally

obliged to identify a hazard on a LIM if it is aware of one. This is to

protect future owners of properties. Coastal hazards are an issue

around the country and a more consistent approach is needed. A

National Policy Statement should be in place and the Government

need to step up and start discussions on one.

Jetty decision

tomorrow

• From page 1

“The trust is proposing we

rebuild the jetty in the same

position and in the same manner

that it would be a completely

new structure on top of the old

one. It would have significant

advantages like it will need less

maintenance in the years to

come,” said Mr Jackson.

The city council has no money

to undertake the repairs so

residents requested city council

support to restore the jetty in a

community-led project.

The trust was set up in April

last year with a panel including

a land surveyor, a civil engineer

and a lawyer who are investigating

methods of restoring the

jetty and a fundraising strategy.

“The make up of the trust is

what gave council the confidence

in the first place to back it,” he

said.

If the preferred proposal is

accepted, the trust will buy the

jetty off the city council for $1,

undertake the restoration, before

selling it back to the city council

for $1.

The city council has attributed

$535,000 to go towards the cost

of fixing the jetty.

If the proposal to sell the jetty

is approved, the trust will then

look at fundraising the remaining

cost of the restoration.

Bid to stop river rubbish

Teenager injured in

Cave Rock fall


A YOUNG man has been left

seriously injured after falling off

Cave Rock on Saturday night.

Two young men climbed the

off-limit rock before one fell at

about 11.30pm.

St John and the Sumner

Volunteer Fire Brigade attended

the scene to help rescue the man

who was stuck between the rock

and containers.

The teenager was unable to

walk and had to be carried out

by emergency services.

“The fall was about seven metres

and as far as his health was

concerned he was conscious but

he had to be lifted out,” chief fire

officer Daryl Sayer said.

Cave Rock has been closed

off since January 2012 due to

rockfall risk and is undergoing

repair work.

Mr Sayer said there was dozens

of teenagers hanging around

the area that night, but he didn’t

notice any of them drinking on

the beach as he was tending to

the injured man.

“There was lots of kids around

but there’s always kids around

playing Pokemon GO,” he said.

Mr Sayer said this is the first

time they’ve seen someone fall

off the rock and he hopes people

are more careful as we head into

summer.

Work on Cave Rock will

continue and it is expected to

open again about Christmas

time.

RIVER HEALTH advocates

want to see rubbish nets installed

to fix an ongoing littering

problem in the lower Heathcote

River and Avon/Heathcote

estuary.

Opawaho Heathcote River

Network co-chairwoman Helene

Mautner and Avon-Heathcote

Estuary/Ihutai Trust member,

Tanya Jenkins presented a deputation

to the city council about

re-installing booms in the rivers

to stop so much rubbish and debris

from being left in the rivers.

Booms are nets that allow the

water to run through them but

catch rubbish and stop it from

flowing down the river. Dr Mautner

wants to see them placed in

rivers throughout the city.

“It’s important to us to get the

rivers around the city clean again

and booms will start helping

with that process,” Dr Mautner

said.

The lower Heathcote River

and the estuary are of particular

concern as they are one of the

biggest problem areas for litter.

Last year alone, more than

three tonnes of rubbish was

collected from the lower

Heathcote over a five kilometre

distance.

RUBBISH: The lower Heathcote River has become a problem

area with volunteers collecting more than three tonnes of

rubbish over five kilometres.

Earlier this year, 20 tonnes

of rubbish was collected over

186km of river bank throughout

the city.

In both 2015 and 2014, the

Heathcote catchment also recorded

the poorest water quality

of all the catchments in Christchurch.

Avon-Heathcote Estuary/

Ihutai Trust co-ordinator Tanya

Jenkins said the city council need

to target the lower Heathcote as

that’s where the rubbish gathers.

“Everything that comes down

the river from all over the city

goes to the lower Heathcote and

we have the opportunity to catch

it before it goes into the estuary,”

she said.

“It’s our main concern because

everything goes into there where

we have all this wildlife and it

ends up in the ocean where we

have marine life and sea birds

who eat it and it kills them.”

City council land drainage

manager Keith Davidson said

staff are happy to investigate

booms but, at the moment, there

was no money allocated for their

re-installment.

“There would be a capital cost

of stabilising the banks and

reinstating the booms, perhaps

in the order of $50,000 each,

together with increased annual

operational costs that are not

currently planned or provided

for,” Mr Davidson said.

Following city council staff investigations,

a recommendation

of installing the booms will be

passed on to the city council so it

can look at allocating funding in

the next long term plan.

Strengthening Our Communities

Our Communities

For a stronger, more resilient

Christchurch we need thriving

communities. We need places for

people of all ages to connect; local

facilities and businesses; a healthy

environment – and to be engaged

meaningfully, in the regeneration

of our city.

We have many connected, strong

neighbourhoods in the Bays area.

However, over the last three years

I have also worked in Linwood,

Woolston, Phillipstown and

Bromley where their communities

are struggling. There are fantastic

community groups working in

these areas, with passionate

volunteers and a vision for their

neighbourhoods, but they need the

local facilities, policy framework

and financial support to enable

them to grow their capacity and

reach.

How do we best support our local

independent businesses?

When you elected me in 2013

I was excited. Councillors had

made promises of greater local

decision making and earlier, more

meaningful engagement with

communities. However, this hasn’t

happened. Community Boards

have fewer delegations now than

they did when we started and

engagement has been poorly

resourced and patchy.

Christchurch has many diverse

communities, but little diversity

in representation and decision

making. With diverse experience

comes a wider range of

viewpoints and a more robust,

thorough discussion of the issues.

Council currently struggles in its

understanding of and engagement

with the community and a

community perspective is needed

around the table to change this.

Redcliffs Community come together to

protest for retaining the local school.

Our schools are important parts of our

communities and need safe travel routes

for our children to walk and bike to.

One of the projects I’m most proud

of this term is Chairing the Victoria

Square Independent Reference

Group as we oversaw CERA’s

consultation process. It was a

diverse group and we worked hard

to ensure that the public’s desire

for a restored Victoria Square was

upheld.

I love where I live in Heathcote

Valley at the centre of our new

ward. Our family have lived here

almost 20 years, during which time

we have been involved in many of

the community groups throughout

the area.

I am a founding member of the

Heathcote Village Project and

Heathcote Village Garden and am a

Justice of the Peace and a member

of the Bridge to Rocks Timebank.

Our Environment

Two of the long term issues facing

Christchurch are water quality and

the impacts of climate change.

Fresh water is one of our most

precious resources and needs

protecting. In Christchurch our

urban rivers, the Heathcote/

Opawaho and Avon/Otakaro are

both polluted and in need of

more care. We also need robust

national water quality standards

that ensure rivers are clean and

healthy enough for us to swim in,

and greater protections for our

aquifers.

Council needs to start engaging

with our communities over sea

level rise and how we collectively

adapt to it. It needs to be a

meaningful conversation with

good information, so that we can

make decisions together about

how we approach it. We also need

to start mitigating our impacts

on the climate by measuring our

carbon footprint as a city and

setting clear goals to reduce it.

Safe and sustainable transport

options are one of the best ways

to start reducing our impact on the

environment. I’ve started cycling

again this year for the first time

since university and am keen to

see the major cycleways projects

and Coastal Pathway completed to

ensure others can too.

I had a career in teaching prior

to having children and was a

small business owner before the

earthquakes – at which point I sold

it to concentrate on the recovery of

my community.

My connections to the ward

have been developed over many

years and it’s important that our

representatives are accessible. It

shouldn’t take a drive across town to

catch up with your councillor.

Planting fruit trees in Birdsey Reserve.

Reforestation of our hills and gullies is

also happening in some places – more

would be great!

Your Vote Counts

Chairing the Hagley-Ferrymead

Community Board for the

last three years has given me

the governance experience

and community relationships

necessary to be an effective

councillor best able to represent

our ward.

Our city needs councillors who

are connected to their wards

and have a vision for the city,

who understand both the value

of community and have a head

for business – I am one of those

people and I need your vote to do

this work.

From John Denver to Sumner

Canadian Eddie Simon has

lived in Sumner for 11 years.

He has played alongside

country music icon John

Denver and is a New

Zealand Gold Guitar winner.

Annabelle Dick talked to

him about his experience

in the industry and a

new programme he has

launched to get local talent

into the recording studio.

So you’re a musician by trade

Eddie, is that right?

Yeah that’s right – I’m a professional

musician, recording artist

and I’ve worked as a music producer

and sound engineer.

How long have you been a

musician?

Pretty much all my life, really.

I started back in the music business

in 1970 at the age of 12. I’m

from Saskatchewan, Canada, so

I started back there. I grew up in

a musical family and we sang at

home and at church and school

and community events, and it

just evolved from there to getting

into concerts and television, radio

and into the recording studio

in my teens.

Wow, you’ve spent a long time

PERFORMER: Singer-songwriter Eddie Simon works from his studio at his home in Scarborough

Hill.

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN

in the industry – what are some

of the highlights?

There’s many. One of the biggest

ones for me was when I was

in concert with John Denver

– that was back in the mid 90s.

I had performed at a helicopter

skiing resort in British Columbia

in the Rocky Mountains in

Canada, and Mike Wiegele, who

ran the helicopter ski resort,

organised for John Denver and

I to do a show together. So we

played for all the skiers, staff and

all the people who lived in Blue

River, British Columbia. We did

a show for about and hour and a

half together and there was only

about 150 people in this big lodge

so it was an incredible intimate

setting and I was smiling from

ear to ear. He was the nicest guy

and we got to hang out for four

days and I got to know him and

he’s such a story teller – everyone

would just sit there and listen

to him tell these incredible stories.

We had banter and chatted

back and forth and shared casual

beers together so it was pretty

cool.

That sounds amazing! I’ve

heard you’ve worked with some

other high-profile figures as

well?

I’ve been on stage with a lot of

other celebrities. I worked with

Alan Thicke – he had his own TV

show, the Alan Thicke Show, in

Vancouver, and he’s also noted

for Family Ties and Growing

Pains. I knew his wife Gloria

Loring – we’d done telethons

together . . . I worked with a lot

of artists at telethons. But Alan

came and performed five songs

with me on stage with my band.

I worked with John Conlee out

in Nashville. I’ve worked with

Kevin Churko and Cory Churko

and they’ve been on all of Shania

Twain’s CDs. Kevin’s producing

stuff with Ozzy Osbourne and

Cory’s now working with Kelly

Clarkson, Elton John and Justin

Timberlake and the list goes on

and on. It’s hard to remember

everything, but when you’ve

done it for so many years, it just

becomes part of what you do.

Can you tell me about yourself

as a musician?

I grew up playing country,

blues and gospel music, so that

was a lot of the festivals and

shows I did. I played piano when

I was younger and then I got into

guitar playing and never looked

back. •Continued on page 10

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.

The City Council and NZ Transport Agency will continue completing ongoing

repairs to the city's earthquake-damaged infrastructure after SCIRT.

Progress in your neighbourhood

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

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.

• The large project in Mt Pleasant and Heathcote repairing wastewater, storm water

and roading is due to be completed by November.

Your support is helping us to get the job done. Thank you from the SCIRT team.

Eddie Simon

•Continued from page 9

I played in my first band at

12-years-old and kept on from

there. I play several instruments

now, including guitar and piano,

of course, and ukulele, mandolin,

bass guitar, so I’m a bit of a

multi- instrumentalist. Then I

got into music producing

in Canada and

I had a studio

there and a

couple of studios

here in New

Zealand now.

So I was not

only producing

my own music,

but I ended up

producing

stuff

for

television, radio and film, and

other people’s CDs and voice

overs. I played with Lone Star

Cattle Company, which is a

country rock recording group in

Canada. They’ve had a number of

hits out so I was the lead guitarist

and one of the lead singers for the

band. One of the biggest shows

we did was Expo in Vancouver

in 1986 – we performed to

well over 100,000 people. I

also used to sing the

national Canadian

anthem at the big

stadiums for the football,

soccer and also baseball

games, and you get about

50,000 to 60,000 people in

the stadiums there. I

also had my own TV show in

Canada, it was a blues music

show called Blues on White. I also

had my own radio show here in

Christchurch on Plains FM for

a short time called Boomers Bay,

which was aimed towards the

baby boomers, so music from the

50s, 60s and 70s era.

How did it feel performing

in front of tens of thousands of

people? That must have been

pretty nerve wracking?

When you get in front of a

big crowd like that, well, for me

personally, it’s just such a natural

high and it’s definitely a big buzz.

It’s really exciting and you can

feel the adrenaline going . . . it’s

hard to put into words sometimes.

What about your family –

were they very musical?

There was 11 kids and mum

and dad. Out of that, just three of

us ended up performing professionally,

so myself and my two

sisters, Margaret and Pat. We

did some recording together and

did some TV shows and festivals

etc etc, and basically, if anything

came along, whether it be a wedding

or community event, we

were there so we got to be quite

well known and respected. My

sisters went on to being awardwinning

singers in Canada and

they were asked to be on TV and

go into studios and do back up

vocals on other people’s CDs.

As a Canadian native, what

prompted the move to New

Zealand?

I’d gone through a divorce, and

I’m a spiritual person, so I said a

little prayer and I wanted to find

another partner and I said, even

if I have to go to the ends of the

earth to find her, I will and she

ended up being in New Zealand.

Her girlfriend had moved to

Canada and I ran across her

when I was out for coffee and

we got chatting and she said: “I

have the perfect person for you

in Christchurch, New Zealand,

and her name is Tracy.” Anyway,

she put us in touch and we hit it

off and next thing you know I’m

selling everything in Canada and

moving to New Zealand. I’ve just

celebrated 11 years being in New

Zealand now.

How are you enjoying life in

Christchurch?

It’s pretty special living here.

I like how everybody’s really

friendly and you get to know

your neighbours. I’ve liked becoming

a part of the community

and getting involved in the local

church and events. The response

from people has been absolutely

fantastic and the community

have been very supportive of my

career throughout Christchurch.

I’ve had the chance to travel

around the country and do some

gigs so overall it’s been a positive

move and I’m excited to be here.

I’m ready to take it to the next

level with my business.

So what is it like being a musician

in New Zealand?

It’s great. I’ve been to Hanmer

Springs, Lake Tekapo, Queenstown

. . . I’ve been to the West

Coast, Hokitika, Napier, Wellington

and I’ve got a show coming

up in Auckland. I was in Stars in

Their Eyes TV show in 2008 here

in New Zealand as Leo Sayer. In

Gore in 2008, I won three Gold

Guitar awards for top instrumentalist

and for being one of the top

three in the vocalist and song

writing category.

Tell me about your studio you

run from home.

I have a studio called Acoustic

Wave at my home. I’ve been

working at the Rockshop store

for nine and a half years and a

short time after I’d been there,

they asked me to be an acoustic

guitar specialist and I got really

into acoustic instruments. I also

live out on Scarborough Hill

by the sea, so Acoustic Wave

just seemed to fit. So I’ve been

doing that and I’ve also got into

video production and digital

photography. My focus is to

leave a legacy and I’m trying to

help up-and-coming artists. So

I’m reaching out to singers and

songwriters and acoustic guitar

players who are trying to make

something of their career and, if

there’s something I can do with

all the experience I have to help

out, then I’m down.

Spring Is In The Air

Market Comment with Craig Prier

Well Spring has definitely sprung! After a steady winter our phones are now red hot with both

buyers and sellers deciding to make a move. In fact the last few years have shown us that

September through to November is traditionally one of the busiest parts of the year. And it’s

easy to see why. Warmer weather, longer days, blossoms and fresh growth on the trees, the

sound of lawnmowers and the tantalising smell of backyard bbq’s. Yes, it’s a great time

of year.

Add to the mix low interest rates and a city that is in full growth mode with low

unemployment and a positive outlook then it’s easy to understand why people want

to be part of it. Our open homes over the past few weeks have been incredibly busy.

Some of our agents are reporting dozens of buyers turning up to view either at open

homes or by private appointment. Well done to the property owners who have invested in

great marketing programmes. It certainly makes a difference with the type of response you can

expect and just goes to show, “you can’t sell a secret”. The owners who have taken the time to

prepare their property for sale, invested in great photography and marketing plans are certainly

getting the attention and results they deserve. It’s an important point when you are in competition

with other property listings. It’s good to give your property the best opportunity of being seen.

Talk to any of our agents today if you would like to find out more about how our marketing plans

will shine a spotlight on your property!

DEVELOPMENT of the

given the go ahead after

receiving a donation of

Prior to drawing up concept

The reserve design had been

The final plan represents the

SCIRT spends

less in peninsula


BANKS PENINSULA has

received the least funding

for infrastructure repairs out

of any ward in the city from

the Stronger Christchurch

Infrastructure Rebuild Team.

While SCIRT only has five per

cent of its infrastructure repair

work to go, they have released

information on where the $2.2

billion has been allocated within

the city.

The Banks Peninsula Ward has

received $52m, the lowest amount

allocated to any ward, while the

Hagley-Ferrymead Ward has

received $544m – the second

highest in the city.

In Banks Peninsula, retaining

walls have eaten up $43m of the

$52m spent.

The biggest cost driver in

Hagley-Ferrymead has been

wastewater infrastructure which

has cost $350m.

SCIRT puts Banks Peninsula’s

small expenditure in comparison

to other wards down to

population.

About 8580 people live in

Banks Peninsula, compared to

49,000 in the Hagley-Ferrymead

Ward.

SCIRT said there are fewer

underground pipes in the Bank

Peninsula Ward because there are

fewer people living there than in

other city council wards.

Also, before the earthquakes,

there had been an infrastructure

renewal programme in the Banks

Peninsula Ward by the city

council.

More than half of SCIRT’s

work has been in the Burwood-

Pegasus Ward, where damage to

wastewater pipes and

pump stations was more

extensive, ultimately amounting

to $680m.

When SCIRT finishes the citywide

infrastructure repairs, the

city council and the New Zealand

Transport Agency will carry out

the remaining road work.

SCIRT is in its final three

months of work.

Restoring Port Saddle


DOZENS OF school children,

volunteers and Lyttelton Port of

Christchurch staff turned their

fingers green for a restoration day

on Port Saddle.

The school pupils weeded,

mulched and planted in the newly-established

lizard habitat area,

while other volunteers helped

with gorse control and weeding

on the lower slopes.

Herpetologist Marieke Lettink

was also on-site to speak about

the lizards that live in the area

and their habitat.

The Port Saddle project covers

a 17ha area of LPC-owned land

backing onto Urumau Reserve,

above the eastern edge of Lyttelton

township.

The land has been identified

for community recreational

use, ecological protection and

enhancement of the indigenous

flora and fauna.

This long term project is being

undertaken by LPC with the

Banks Peninsula Conservation

Trust which works to protect and

enhance indigenous biodiversity

found on Banks Peninsula.

“I’m very pleased to see our

biodiversity enhancement, and in

cycle and walking tracks within

the area, will provide a great environment

and better connectivity

for Lyttelton locals – human and

fauna. This is something that the

community clearly told us they

Unique leather accessories

handcrafted in Heathcote studio

The beauty and authenticity of

handcrafted leather is becoming

increasingly sought after, as people

tire of cheaper, massproduced

items and look for accessories that

can express their individuality.

Recognising this changing

mood, craftsman Peter O’Brien set

up his Village Leather Craft studio in

Heathcote Valley. Having learnt his craft in

the heydays of the late 1970s, Peter has always

retained a passion for working with leather,

making a few belts from time to time, while

quietly confident that he would return to it more

fully one day.

After moving up from Ashburton with his

wife Marie, he is settled in Port Hills Road where

he is enjoying designing and crafting a range of

unique leather belts, bags, satchels, wallets and

more recently adding to the range with guitar

straps, wine bags, sunglasses cases and dog

collars to meet the resurgence in interest.

For Peter, what he finds especially satisfying

is working with clients to come up with one-off

designs. So, while he has a stock of sample belts

and bags that show different styles and colours,

Peter O’Brien

the experience he wants to offer people

is the opportunity to choose their

own design, colour and style,

making the item unique to their

taste and requirements.

He doesn’t use chemicals – all

items are made from vegetabletanned

leather and he has recently

sourced a supplier of water-based dyes,

stains and finishes. Every item is handcrafted

and the bags are stitched or laced by hand.

Peter has a large range of quality buckles and

clasps, or clients can provide their own.

Weather is unpredictable –

ews

• BY GARY MANCH,

NAVIGATIONAL SAFETY OFFICER,

LYTTELTON

SPRING IS such a delightful

time of the year.

The blossom trees are

blooming and daffodils are

standing tall in lush, green

ashion

fields. It makes you feel grateful

to be alive as we enjoy better

weather and longer days.

However, this nirvana I speak

of can change very quickly.

When I was driving to work last

week, there was a thick, low fog

with visibility to almost 50m.

This made me think about

how quickly weather can

Gardening

change. It can be perfect one

minute and rubbish the next.

I’ve never been caught out by

bad weather in a boat but I have,

on the odd occasion, had to

ride my motor-cycle home in a

southerly downpour. This is not

much fun, I can tell you.

The beauty of riding my

motor-cycle during bad weather

otoring

is that if I’m caught the rain,

I can usually find a place to pull

over until it subsides. There is

usually a coffee shop or tea room

nearby.

Pirate’s Corner

The same cannot be said for

those who get caught in bad

weather while boating. We

boaties don’t have the luxury of

being close to a spot where we

can moor up, grab a coffee and

wait for the squall to pass.

Checking the weather and

conditions before heading out

on the ocean, lake or river is

absolutely crucial. Every water

body has its own hazards

which need to be reviewed

properly before heading out for

the day.

Here’s a scenario to consider:

A jet boater decides to go up

river without checking the

weather or mountain forecast.

The river is initially low, but as

the jet boater heads up the river,

the water flow increases due to

snow melt from previous days

and heavy rain.

Water levels become

unmanageable and the jet

boater is stuck on a bank in the

middle of nowhere, calling for

help. This hypothetical situation

could have been avoided. The

skipper just needed to spend five

minutes checking the weather

and river forecasts.

Preparing well before your

day on the water means you

will avoid an incident and

happily drive back home on one

of Canterbury’s calm, spring

afternoons.

I’ll leave you with this

thought: “We make a living by

what we get, but we make a life

by what we give.” – Winston

Churchill.

Levy on sugary soft

drinks should help

Green MP Eugenie

Sage talks about fastfood

outlets in the city

and their impact on

community health and

obesity rates

THERE IS increasing community

concern about the number of fastfood

outlets around local schools

such as Linwood College because

of the message it sends children

about poor food choices. I’m

interested in community views on

whether there should be a levy on

sugary soft drinks to encourage

students and parents to make

healthier choices.

Obesity is overtaking tobacco

as the major cause of preventable

illness and death in New

Zealand. One in four adult New

Zealanders either has type two

diabetes or has pre-diabetes

and is at risk of getting type two

diabetes.

By 2021, the cost of treating

type two diabetes is expected to

be more than $2 billion. This will

swamp our health services and

swallow a chunk of the current

annual $15 billion health budget.

Sugar is driving our obesity epidemic

and damaging the health

of Kiwi kids in Christchurch and

across the country.

We know there is a problem

with sugary drinks. A

levy on sugary soft drinks

should help reduce sugar

consumption and obesity

rates. The revenue it generates

could be ploughed back into

health promotion programmes.

Our smoking rates have declined

with Government action

to change environmental factors

around tobacco. These have

included higher excise taxes on

tobacco, and the Smoke-free Environments

Act which restricts

where and how tobacco can be

sold and outlaws tobacco advertising

and sponsorship.

Sugar is robbing our children

of their health and knocking

years off their life expectancy.

We could follow UK’s lead and

put children’s health and wellbeing

ahead of the interests of the

junk food industry.

The governments of the UK,

Mexico, France and Norway all

have such a levy. A tax on sugary

drinks is supported by the New

Zealand Medical Association and

the World Health Organisation.

It would be a simple step to

help protect the health of a

generation of children.

Roald Dahl

Diamond Harbour School celebrated the 100th birthday of Roald

Dahl who was a British novelist, short story writer, poet, screenwriter,

and fighter pilot. His books have sold more than 250 million copies

worldwide. He died in 1990. The children made play dough sweets

from Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory, made curled paper beards for

Mr Twit, drew around each other to make BFG’s and enjoyed a quiz.

Pupils enjoy skiing and snow

IT’S BEEN a busy week for Our

Lady Star of the Sea School pupils.

The year 5-8 pupils went on

their annual ski trip to Mt Hutt.

The children go on a ski trip

every year from year 5 through to

year 8. The weather was magical,

with great snow and everyone

had a blast.

Year 7 pupil Lucy Walker

also organised a Mufti Day

for Maddie. Maddie is from

Christchurch who is raising

money for a kidney transplant.

This was totally generated by

pupils and led by Lucy.

LYTTELTON Primary School

has been fitted out with a new

playground after officially

opening its school premises in

June.

The playground was opened

on September 12 by pupils who

sung the school waiata.

Principal Diana Feary said the

playground has been covered

with busy and active children

since it was officially opened.

“They love it. After school it’s

just as busy as it is during school

time,” she said.

The playground includes

slides, tight ropes and a climbing

frame.

“From where the seats come

around to the astro turf it’s

designed to replicate the taniwha

look. We have the blue to show

SNOW DAY: Georgie Powell, Alex Cutforth and Katie Hygate.

New playground proves popular

the sea and then when the slide

is built green it will be a reference

to the hills around us,” Mrs

Feary said.

Naylor Love Construction

headed the project and the cost

came under the whole building’s

budget of about $15 million.

SCENIC:

The new

playground is

said to signify

the sea and

the hills of

Lyttelton.

Ms Feary has resigned as

principal but will stay in the role

until January 26, 2017.

The school is searching for a

replacement who has to be appointed

by November 26 as part

of the Employment Relations

Act 2000.

THRILLED: Lyttelton Football Club players Tane Gunn, Isaac Warren, Connor Buckley and Sayyad Mille look forward to

trading in their old soccer gear for new equipment.

Port gives to football club


IT WAS a case of out with the

old and in with the new for

Lyttelton Football Club after

the port company funded

the purchase of new sporting

equipment.

The club developed a

programme in 2012 to teach

young children about the game

and Lyttelton Port of Christchurch

sponsored the purchase

of sporting gear to cater for

increasing numbers.

Club head coach Mick

Stephenson said world famous

football players like Lionel

Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo

were driving young people to

the sport.

“Until now we’ve been running

the programme using

secondhand equipment and

make-shift goal posts, so we

haven’t had the resources to

really excel,” he said.

“The equipment LPC funded

has been the best thing to happen

since we started. We now

have almost 100 children registered

so we’ve decided to run

the programme throughout

the school term.”

The Introduction to Football

course teaches youngsters,

aged eight to 13, the rules of

the sport and helps them develop

the basic skills a beginner

footballer needs.

“We’ve seen an increase in

young girls keen to take up the

sport,” Stephenson said.

“Football is a great way to

bring people together.”

Six senior club players, eager

to help the next generation

develop their skills, volunteer

their time to run the sessions.

LPC chief executive Peter

Davie said the sponsorship was

part of the company’s ongoing

commitment to the harbour

basin community.

“It’s great to see so many

local youngsters developing

an interest in sport and we’re

pleased that our sponsorship

has had such a positive impact

on the programme,” he said.

The programme is held three

times a week at the Lyttelton

Primary School and the Lyttelton

Recreation Centre.

The Health effects

of sugar

Should we be alarmed or is this

likely to be another area that

science backtracks on?

The answer to that question is

Yes, we should be worried, there are real

problems caused by the volume of sugar

being consumed by the average person

and when look back over the last decades

the problem is getting worse, not better.

Developments in research and

understanding the fields of nutrition and

food safety change how we view products

we consume and patterns of consumption

can make the negative effects of foods

more pronounced.

While these advances should be

embraced, as each development leads

to better understanding and health

outcomes it can also be frustrating to the

average consumer who can feel like just

when they ‘get’ a good healthy eating plan

together, the rules change.

The recommendations for sugar are a

good example of how information can

be confusing, some sources encourage

the complete ban on all sugar containing

products and others, such as the heart

foundation recommend a reduction

rather than complete removal.

It’s not so confusing though really, at

no time in history has sugar ever been

presented as a healthy food, but as in the

past it took more effort to consume sugar

it was less of a problem, we could ‘get

away with it’.

In the past sugar was something that

you could control through how much you

added, in baking and to your cup of tea.

This knowledge then transferred into the

first generation of convenience food, if it

was sweet, it had sugar in it.

What we now face as a challenge is

not that suddenly sugar is bad, but that

it is added, often quietly, to many of the

processed foods we consume, even when

they aren’t sweet.

The availability and often-reduced price

of these foods compared to healthier

option make them an easy choice to the

time poor or uneducated consumer.

There are some simple tips you can

follow, including reading food labels;

consuming as much food as possible

in a state close to its natural form and

avoiding sugary drinks. Consumers also

need to be aware of marketing claims that

do not provide the full nutritional picture

of a product.

A sensible place to start is by combining

a diet low in processed food and sugar

combined with regular activity as the

path to long-term health.

What we now face as a challenge

is not that suddenly sugar is bad,

but that it is added, often quietly

to many of the processed foods

we consume, even when they

aren’t sweet.

For more advice and direction to

improve your health talk to your

registered exercise professional, they

can offer some advice and are able to

refer you to sources of information and

other nutritional professionals that you

can trust.

Red Herring

by Jonothan Cullinane

Murder, political intrigue, bent cops and the fate of a nation - a thriller set in the

murky underworld of 1951 New Zealand. A man overboard, a murder and a lot of

loose ends ... In Auckland 1951 the workers and the government are heading for

bloody confrontation and the waterfront is the frontline. But this is

a war with more than two sides and nothing is what it seems.

Into the secret world of rival union politics, dark political

agendas and worldwide anti-communist hysteria steps

Johnny Molloy, a private detective with secrets of his own.

Caitlin O’Carolan, a feisty young reporter, is following her

own leads. Together they begin to uncover a conspiracy

that goes to the heart of the Establishment - and which

will threaten their own lives in the process. Filled with

memorable characters, including many colourful real-life

figures from recent New Zealand history, Red Herring is the

stunning debut from a vibrant new voice in New Zealand fiction.

Closed Casket:

The New Hercule Poirot Mystery

by Sophie Hannah

Hercule Poirot returns in another brilliant murder mystery that can only be solved

by the eponymous Belgian detective and his ‘little grey cells’. ‘What I intend to say

to you will come as a shock . . .’Lady Athelinda Playford has planned a house

party at her mansion in Clonakilty, County Cork, but it is no ordinary gathering.

As guests arrive, Lady Playford summons her lawyer to make an urgent change

to her will – one she intends to announce at dinner that night. She has decided

to cut off her two children without a penny and leave her fortune to someone who

has only weeks to live . . . Among Lady Playford’s guests are two men she has

never met – the famous Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot, and Inspector Edward

Catchpool of Scotland Yard. Neither knows why he has been invited . . . until Poirot

starts to wonder if Lady Playford expects a murderer to strike. But why does she

seem so determined to provoke, in the presence of a possible killer? When the

crime is committed in spite of Poirot’s best efforts to stop it, and the victim is not

who he expected it to be, will he be able to find the culprit and solve the mystery?

Following the phenomenal global success of The Monogram Murders, which

was published to critical acclaim following a co-ordinated international launch in

September 2014, international best-selling crime writer Sophie Hannah has been

commissioned by Agatha Christie Limited to pen a second fully-authorised Poirot

novel. The new book marks the centenary of the creation of Christie’s world-famous

detective Hercule Poirot, introduced in her first book The Mysterious Affair at Styles.

Enjoy unique shopping to be found at Women’s Expo

With over 200 sites to browse, unique businesses to discover,

shopping, bargains and laughter, the Expo is the ultimate day

out for every woman.

One of the appeals the Expo has to

visitors is the variety of companies

involved with everything from

jewellery and shoes to activewear

and fitness to skincare and health

products to gourmet food and wine

and even a company offering plantbased

cooking classes for Kids &

Adults. There really is something for

everyone and all ages.

Renee Murray from NZME Events,

organiser of the Expo says “Our

aim is to have as wide of a range

of companies involved with the

Expo as possible. Women are all

different and their individual interests

are so diverse. One woman

may love the latest in makeup or

skincare but the woman beside

her may be more interested in

cycling the Otago Central Rail Trail

or sampling handmade cheese.

It’s great on the weekend to see

all the various women visit the

show, from teenagers to business

women, mothers to grandmothers

and friends simply enjoying each

other’s company. It’s becoming

more common for us to see three

generations visit the Expo together

as well, with the daughter, mother

and grandmother all enjoying the

show and spending the day with

each other.”

Brandhouse will exhibit at the Expo

for the first time with their range of

champagne, vodka, port and wines.

Popular at other Expo’s this year

has been the Royal Dragon’s elite

flavour vodka collection with some

flavours selling out. Introducing

the most tantalizing and unique

flavoured vodka collection of its time

flavours include Watermelon, Green

Apple, Passion Fruit, Chocolate and

Lychee… A great vodka collection

to enjoy neat, on the rocks or in

your favourite cocktail! Visit the

large Brandhouse site at the show

to sample from their fabulous range

and take home what you love.

Christinz Clothing will visit the show

for the first time, travelling from

Balclutha to showcase her selection

of Designer Clothing including;

pants, stunning tops, skirts, base

layers and jackets. A popular

item are her batwing sleeve tops with a

flattering shape through front to suit all

sizes and with pink, gold, navy, black

and silver in the colour range these tops

look great with jeans, skirts or leggings.

Christinz Clothing are located in the Expo

Fashion Zone.

The High Protein Breakfast Company

will travel all the way from Auckland with

their exclusive High Protein Muesli. Not

available in store yet this range of muesli

not only tastes great but helps with weight

management, health and fitness. Without

many of the sugars or fillers that so many

processed breakfast foods contain these

mueslis will keep you fuller for longer and

with flavours including

Berry, Peach &

Nectarine and Feijoa

you will want to buy

them all. Visit the High

Protein Breakfast

Company in the Expo
