the tsunami response<br />
debacle after last month’s<br />
7.8 magnitude earthquake<br />
caused confusion over the<br />

The meeting was initiated<br />
by the Sumner Volunteer Fire<br />
Brigade after tsunami sirens were<br />
not activated until about<br />
two hours after the November<br />
<strong>14</strong> earthquake.<br />
Hundreds of residents<br />
did not evacuate their<br />
homes until sirens<br />
sounded and the fire<br />
brigade drove the streets<br />
telling people to go to<br />
higher ground.<br />
“Do not wait for sirens<br />
and do not wait for people to<br />
tell you to leave. A strong earthquake<br />
is the only information<br />
you need to get gone,” Sumner<br />
Volunteer Fire Brigade deputy<br />
chief fire officer Darren<br />
Wright said.<br />
A national review has<br />
been promised which will<br />
look into problems like the<br />
communication failure<br />
that meant national Civil<br />
Defence was telling people<br />
along the coast to evacuate<br />
while local Civil Defence<br />
was not.<br />
It will also look into why the<br />
tsunami sirens were only acti-<br />

Community<br />
Board member Darrell<br />
Latham said it was a<br />
well-co-ordinated effort<br />
and the organisations<br />
showed a unified front.<br />
“I think as a result of<br />
the meeting people better<br />
understand and feel<br />
better prepared for any future<br />
event.”<br />

Tension at Magazine <strong>Bay</strong><br />
BAY HARBOUR<br />
In Brief<br />
PAGE 3<br />
• By Annabelle Dick<br />
A JUMPING platform has been<br />
proposed for Magazine <strong>Bay</strong> to avoid<br />
conflict between swimmers and yacht<br />
owners.<br />
Lyttelton residents Arthur Collins<br />
and son Tom Collins made a deputation<br />
at the Banks Peninsula Community<br />
Board about conflict between<br />
teenagers using the yacht club’s wharf.<br />
Both Dr Collins and his son said<br />
there had been stand-offs between<br />
the two parties as teenagers preferred<br />
using the longer private wharf instead<br />
of the short public wharf.<br />
Mr Collins suggested creating a<br />
higher jumping platform to stop<br />
swimmers using the private wharf.<br />
“Dad and I were thinking if we<br />
pushed the barbed wire gate four<br />
metres seaward then we could open<br />
up that high platform to the public<br />
and put in a ladder in that space, so<br />
swimmers could jump off and climb<br />
back up without getting in the boaties<br />
way,” he said.<br />
There are two wharfs at the bay; one<br />
is open to the public and the other is a<br />
private wharf administered by Naval<br />
Point Yacht Club.<br />
There is a wire fence blocking the<br />
taller private wharf but swimmers<br />
could still access it via a ladder at the<br />
end of the wharf near moorings.<br />
The community board made a<br />
resolution on Monday to ask the city<br />
council to undertake a report and see<br />
if it was possible to relocate the fence.<br />
Mr Collins said he’d heard yelling<br />
and cussing between teenagers and<br />
boat owners when they used the<br />
private wharf.<br />
The pair also said there had been<br />
thefts from boats.<br />
Dr Collins suggested creating a<br />
jumping platform like Wellington<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong>’s Taranaki St Wharf jump<br />
platform.<br />
He said it could stop people from<br />
accessing the private wharf and would<br />
ease the problem between mooring<br />
owners and swimmers.<br />
“It would be nice to come up with<br />
a solution here and diffuse all the<br />
tension that’s been building every<br />
summer,” he said.<br />
Senior Sergeant Stephen McDaniel<br />
said Lyttelton police were aware of the<br />
concerns people have around swimmers<br />
using the jetties at Magazine<br />
<strong>Bay</strong>.<br />
Naval Point Yacht Club commodore<br />
Dave Anderson said he was unaware<br />
of the issue but was willing to talk to<br />
concerned residents about addressing<br />
the issue.<br />
The city council feasibility report is<br />
due back in January.<br />

a jumping platform should be<br />

REVAMP FOR PARK<br />
Scarborough Park will be<br />
revamped as the city council<br />
asks residents for ideas on<br />
what to do with the recreation<br />
area. The playground at the<br />
park, on Heberden Ave, has<br />
reached the end of its lifespan.<br />
It was created in the 1960s. The<br />
city council wants residents<br />
views on the existing park and<br />
possible ideas for the draft<br />
landscape plan. It has $150,000<br />
available in the next financial<br />
year to create a development<br />
plan for Scarborough Park and<br />
construct a new playground.<br />
Any further works, once the<br />
new playground is built, will<br />
depend on future funding<br />
availability through the city<br />
council’s Long Term Plan and<br />
may be staged over future years.<br />
Submissions close tomorrow at<br />
5pm.<br />
ONE LANE FOR EVANS PASS<br />
Evans Pass Rd has been<br />
reduced to one lane due to<br />
retaining wall repairs. The<br />
route is being controlled by<br />
traffic lights and road users<br />
should expect to be stopped<br />
for lights when going either up<br />
or downhill. Contractors are<br />
expected to have finished the<br />
repairs by <strong>December</strong> 31.<br />

EQC UPDATE KEEPING YOU INFORMED | DECEMBER <strong>2016</strong><br />
The year ahead<br />
A message from outgoing EQC chief executive<br />
Ian Simpson<br />
The Kaikoura Earthquake has been an unwelcome<br />
reminder of the sheer power and unpredictability<br />
of geological forces and of New Zealand’s<br />
vulnerability to these.<br />
The earthquake has also highlighted yet again<br />
the resilience of New Zealanders in the face of<br />
natural disaster.<br />
At EQC, it’s also reminded us that every natural<br />
disaster affects communities in different ways. So<br />
while we have learned a number of lessons from<br />
Canterbury 2010-2011, our response to the<br />
Kaikoura Earthquakes will be different.<br />
One of the key things we learned from<br />
Canterbury is that we should have put more<br />
time early on into building relationships with<br />
customers, community groups, local<br />
Courtesy of Tonkin + Taylor<br />
Don’t wait to hear from<br />
EQC – lodge your claim<br />
Most people seen by EQC in the first<br />
weeks since the Kaikoura<br />
Earthquake of <strong>14</strong> November have<br />
wanted help lodging their claims<br />
and advice on how to get emergency<br />
repairs underway to get them back<br />
into their homes.<br />
EQC Customer and Claims General<br />
Manager Trish Keith says that having<br />
organised three teams on rotation into<br />
the most impacted areas of Ward, Waiau<br />
and Kaikoura to help lodge claims,<br />
provide information and answer<br />
EQC-related questions, EQC is being<br />
kept up to date on customer needs.<br />
“One of the lessons out of Canterbury<br />
was that people wanted information<br />
and the opportunity to talk to someone<br />
about their issues as soon as they could<br />
after an event, so we have ensured that<br />
our response to Kaikoura includes<br />
personal contact,” Mrs Keith says.<br />
“The teams have been dealing with<br />
hundreds of customers one-on-one.<br />
Many people have been asking EQC<br />
when someone from EQC will visit<br />
them, so they will know what to do<br />
next. My advice is that they go ahead<br />
and lodge the claim first. Don’t wait for<br />
anyone to visit.<br />
“Go ahead and lodge your claim to<br />
ensure you are in the system, and any<br />
earthquake damage found later can be<br />
added. If you fail to lodge a claim<br />
before <strong>14</strong> February 2017, we won’t be<br />
able to help you so best to lodge the<br />
government, and government agencies<br />
and insurers.<br />
We are heeding that lesson as we plan our<br />
response to Kaikoura. We’ve had staff on the<br />
ground in Kaikoura, Ward and Waiau to help<br />
customers lodge their claims and answer EQC<br />
related questions. The information our people<br />
are picking up from those areas is being fed back<br />
into our planning.<br />
The work we are doing now will mean that in<br />
2017 we will be putting in place the team we<br />
need to deliver a response tailored to the needs<br />
of customers impacted by the Kaikoura<br />
Earthquake. This team will be part of the new<br />
structure we have developed to also carry on the<br />
remaining work in Canterbury in 2017.<br />
While we are working very hard on responding to<br />
Kaikoura, we also know we have to keep focussed<br />
on resolving the final Canterbury claims.<br />
I’m stepping down as EQC’s chief executive at<br />
the end of this year. I want to thank people of<br />
claim,” Mrs Keith says.<br />
The next steps about claim assessment<br />
and settlement are still the subject of<br />
ongoing negotiations with private<br />
insurers. EQC is confident it will have<br />
news on this soon.<br />
EQC has been prioritising the<br />
vulnerable and the most damaged<br />
homes for visits, as needed.<br />
All EQC teams are working out of<br />
Recovery Assistance Centres set up by<br />
Canterbury Civil Defence Emergency<br />
Management in Ward, Waiau and<br />
Kaikoura so Government agencies and<br />
non-government agencies could deliver<br />
consistently across areas of need.<br />
If you have any questions about<br />
your existing claim or want to lodge<br />
a new claim:<br />
• Visit www.eqc.govt.nz/claims<br />
• Email info@eqc.govt.nz<br />
• Phone 0800 DAMAGE (326 243)<br />
The EQC call centre is open 7am to<br />
9pm Monday to Friday, and 8am to<br />
6pm on Saturdays.<br />
To prepare for making a claim,<br />
remember to have on hand:<br />
• Information about what damage<br />
occurred<br />
• Photographs showing the damage<br />
and any urgent work that was done<br />
• Your insurance policy number and<br />
name of your insurance company.<br />
Courtesy of NZ Fire Service<br />
Canterbury for the support we have received,<br />
and at times for your patience. I acknowledge we<br />
didn’t always get everything right but we have<br />
learned from that. I also want to acknowledge the<br />
EQC staff who worked very hard to support the<br />
Canterbury recovery.<br />
Looking ahead, it’s clear 2017 will be another<br />
year of challenges. I’m confident that EQC will<br />
rise to meet those challenges.<br />
2017 changes<br />
From later this month, EQC will be the main point of<br />
contact for all customer enquiries relating to Canterbury<br />
Home Repair Programme (CHRP) repairs.<br />
Until now, customers have dealt with EQC and/or Fletcher EQR<br />
– depending on what stage their repairs have been at. But, from<br />
16 <strong>December</strong>, EQC’s 0800 number (0800 326 243) will be the<br />
main number for all customers – including those whose<br />
properties are in the current sub-floor review, who will be<br />
transferred to the Fletcher EQR staff focussing on that work.<br />
No delays are intended or anticipated, but personnel changes<br />
due to the completion of about 68,400 first-time CHRP repairs<br />
may mean some customers will have a different contact person<br />
at EQC or EQR in 2017.<br />
EQC’s General Manager Customer and Claims Trish Keith says<br />
these customers will be advised of any changes and provided<br />
with new contact details.<br />
“We don’t want customers who currently have a contact<br />
person at EQC or EQR calling us and only then finding out that<br />
someone else is looking after their claim.”<br />
She says any changes will be limited to EQC and EQR<br />
personnel, and repair work will be carried out by contractors<br />
that have already worked for the home repair programme and<br />
are familiar with EQC’s systems and quality expectations.<br />
Most CHRP contractors will finish work for the year on<br />
23 <strong>December</strong> and resume work from 9 January.<br />
EQC’s Contact Centre hours will be:<br />
• Friday 23 <strong>December</strong>: 7am-5pm<br />
• Saturday 24 <strong>December</strong> – Tuesday 27 <strong>December</strong>: CLOSED<br />
• Wednesday 28 <strong>December</strong> – Friday 30 <strong>December</strong>: 8am-5pm<br />
• Saturday 31 <strong>December</strong> – Tuesday 3 January: CLOSED<br />
• Normal hours will resume on Wednesday 4 January<br />
(7am-9pm Monday-Friday; 8am-6pm Saturday)<br />

Positive<br />
response to<br />
February <strong>2016</strong><br />
settlement<br />
process<br />
90 percent of claims from the February <strong>2016</strong><br />
earthquakes have been settled.<br />
EQC’s February <strong>2016</strong> Event Response Manager,<br />
Jayne Lapin, says of the 13,879 claims received for the<br />
<strong>14</strong> and 29 February earthquakes and subsequent<br />
aftershocks, EQC has resolved 12,440 (90 percent)<br />
by cash settlement worth a total value of $46,039,854<br />
“Customers have appreciated the approach we have<br />
developed and implemented in response to the<br />
February earthquakes.”<br />
The new approach uses both on-site and phonebased<br />
assessments, and allows customers to influence<br />
the pace of settlement by giving them the opportunity<br />
to provide earthquake damage data and<br />
photographic evidence.<br />
Thanks to a robust period of planning in advance and<br />
with customers providing information up front, claims<br />
have taken an average of three weeks to reach<br />
settlement from assessment.<br />
Customers who have been through the process have<br />
been surveyed and nearly 90 percent of those who have<br />
taken part have been positive about their experience.<br />
Ms Lapin says EQC had hoped to resolve all February<br />
<strong>2016</strong> claims by the end of the year but it has suited<br />
some customers to defer their assessment to 2017,<br />
meaning a small number remain open and will be<br />
closed early next year.<br />
Land settlements<br />
update<br />
Almost all land claims will be resolved by the end<br />
of the year but there will be some customers who<br />
will get their settlement in 2017.<br />
At the end of <strong>December</strong> <strong>2016</strong>, out of a total of<br />
approximately 73,000 green zone properties we<br />
expect to have resolved 97% of them. This means we<br />
have either made payments to customers or advised<br />
them that they don’t qualify for the types of land<br />
damage known as Increased Flooding Vulnerability<br />
(IFV) and/or Increased Liquefaction Vulnerability (ILV).<br />
“We’ve been working to get an answer to all land<br />
customers waiting to hear from us this year. While we<br />
have worked hard to ensure that customers have<br />
received their land settlement, we are conscious that<br />
some are still waiting”, says EQC’s Head of Customer<br />
and Claims Trish Keith.<br />
“These are the last of the most complex claims that<br />
we need to settle and we will do our best to continue<br />
to deliver robust settlements which can give<br />
homeowners confidence that all properties have been<br />
assessed fairly and consistently”, says Mrs Keith.<br />
“Looking back on the year, we would also like the<br />
opportunity to thank all land customers, community<br />
groups and many other stakeholders, who are also<br />
supporting our customers, for their patience and<br />
understanding as well as taking the time to come to<br />
our community meetings on land settlements or<br />
hosting us and providing us with their feedback”,<br />
concludes Mrs Keith.<br />
The EQC website remains a good source of<br />
information for land customers who want to find out<br />
more about IFV and ILV land damage, which are a<br />
world-first. Please visit www.eqc.govt.nz/IFV or www.<br />

tsunami warning was in place<br />
following the earthquake.<br />
Nearby Little River was out of<br />
the tsunami area, so it did not<br />
have any facilities open.<br />
The city council is looking at<br />
building Civil Defence volunteers<br />
in those areas.<br />
Banks Peninsula Community<br />
Board chairwoman Christine<br />
Wilson is pleased to see action<br />
being taken.<br />
“Around in the smaller bays a<br />
lot of residents were evacuated<br />
so there needs to be a plan in<br />
place and somewhere for them<br />
to go,” Ms Wilson said.<br />
“In Lyttelton, we work with<br />
Civil Defence so they need that<br />
scenario across the peninsula as<br />
well so there needs to be further<br />
clarity.”<br />
Outdoor eating goes<br />
UPGRADE<br />
• By Annabelle Dick<br />
AN AKAROA restaurant<br />
owner is fighting for the right to<br />
use Rue Lavaud’s footpath for<br />
outdoor seating.<br />
The Little Bistro owner Richard<br />
Uttley was told to remove<br />
the furniture outside his restaurant<br />
last Wednesday by the city<br />
council due to health and safety<br />
reasons.<br />
He’s annoyed as the restaurant<br />
has used the footpath for<br />
outdoor seating for the near<br />
25 years The Little Bistro has<br />
existed.<br />
“It’s highly disappointing that<br />
our business and our beautiful<br />
village is restricted by the<br />
stupidity of pencil pushers,” Mr<br />
Uttley said.<br />
While renewing the liquor<br />
licence for The Little Bistro<br />
on Rue Lavaud, city council<br />
staff told Mr Uttley he needed<br />
a licence agreement to use the<br />
foothpath as an outdoor dining<br />
area.<br />
“We applied for a licence and it<br />
came back is a no so we’ve had to<br />
remove them as of immediately,”<br />
Mr Uttley said.<br />
All public areas that are in<br />
private use for outdoor dining<br />
need a licence agreement.<br />
For a business to gain a<br />
PULLED: The Little Bistro can no longer offer outside<br />
dinning at their restaurant . <br />
licence, there needs to be at least<br />
3m of footpath available with 2m<br />
available for pedestrians. In areas<br />
of low pedestrian frequency<br />
it can be discretionary.<br />
There’s just under 2m of foothpath<br />
available outside The Little<br />
Bistro.<br />
“It’s detrimental from a financial<br />
point of view, especially<br />
when we’ve only got three to<br />
four months of good trading<br />
a year – those tables are pretty<br />
vital,” Mr Uttley said.<br />
Mr Uttley says the fight isn’t<br />
over yet and he’s determined to<br />
get seating back outside for the<br />
summer months.<br />
“We will either try get the<br />
lease to use the outside area then<br />
apply for a liquor licence back,<br />
or hopefully we could come to<br />
some sort of sensible solution<br />
other than just a flat no,” Mr<br />
Uttley said.<br />

The Little Bistro be allowed<br />

In Brief<br />
FOR CHURCH<br />
The city council has upgraded<br />
Lyttelton’s St Saviour’s at Holy<br />
Trinity Church heritage status.<br />
The church has been given<br />
Conservation Covenant Consent<br />
approval for Heritage New<br />
Zealand to upgrade it from a<br />
category 2 building to a category<br />
1 building. That means the<br />
church will be upgraded from an<br />
historic place with historical or<br />
cultural significance or value to<br />
being of special or outstanding<br />
significance.<br />

When to evacuate was also discussed<br />
and organisations pressed<br />
residents to take initiative and<br />
leave their home after a long or<br />
strong earthquake.<br />
“We really want to get that<br />
message across that if the ground<br />
shakes for longer than one minute,<br />
or if it’s so violent you find it<br />
hard to stand up then you need to<br />
evacuate,” Mr Wright said.<br />

Wheatsheaf Hotel flooded<br />
Author Jane Robertson talks<br />
about her magnificent book<br />
Head of the <strong>Harbour</strong>, the history<br />
of local jetties and natural<br />
disasters she discovered while<br />
researching for the book<br />
Over the five years in which<br />
I’ve been working on Head<br />
of the <strong>Harbour</strong>: A History of<br />
Governors <strong>Bay</strong>, Ohinetahi,<br />
Allandale and Teddington,<br />
I’ve interviewed local residents<br />
and ex-residents, scoured old<br />
newspapers and institutional<br />
archives and been given<br />
access to a fascinating array<br />
of letters, diaries, photos and<br />
other material from private<br />
collections. The following<br />
account, which draws on<br />
material from the book, focuses<br />
on a few of the stories relating<br />
to the jetties at the head of the<br />
harbour.<br />
Everyone knows the iconic<br />
‘long jetty’ at Governors <strong>Bay</strong>.<br />
First built as a short jetty in 1874,<br />
it was extended in 1915 and<br />
again in 1927 because increasing<br />
upper-harbour silting meant that<br />
the jetty was able to be used by<br />
steamers bringing day-trippers<br />
from Lyttelton only at high tide.<br />
At the time of the 1915 extension,<br />
Eddie Radcliffe was going<br />
to school in Governors <strong>Bay</strong>.<br />
After class the children would<br />
rush down the jetty, where there<br />
was a trolley on railway lines<br />
that transported materials to<br />
the construction end. The workmen<br />
would allow the children<br />
to get into the trolley and push<br />
themselves up and down. No<br />
health and safety to contend<br />
with then! The long jetty is soon<br />
to be rebuilt, as a local initiative,<br />
following earthquake damage.<br />
However the stories of other<br />
jetties are less well known.<br />
For example, on August 15,<br />
1868, an earthquake of about<br />
magnitude 9, offshore from the<br />
Peru–Chile border, generated the<br />
largest recorded distant tsunami<br />
to strike New Zealand. Around<br />
4.00am a wall of water surged<br />
up Lyttelton harbour. At the<br />
Head of the <strong>Bay</strong> (Teddington), a<br />
substantial 300-foot jetty, built<br />
only six years before to transport<br />
produce, particularly for the<br />
Manson and Gebbie families,<br />
DAMAGED: The ‘long jetty’ in Governors <strong>Bay</strong>, damaged and off-limits since the 2011<br />
earthquakes, will be rebuilt under the direction of the Governors <strong>Bay</strong> Jetty Restoration Trust.<br />

was completely washed away,<br />
along with the boats moored at<br />
the jetty.<br />
The most powerful earthquake<br />
of the twentieth century, off the<br />
coast of Chile on May 22 1960,<br />
measured 9.5 on the Richter<br />
scale. In the late evening and<br />
early morning of the May 23<br />
and 24, the first of many tsunami<br />
waves began to reach New<br />
Zealand’s east coast. In Teddington,<br />
about midnight, David<br />
Gebbie heard a rumble like an<br />
approaching earthquake, went<br />
outside and found water lapping<br />
around his house. Daybreak revealed<br />
the extent of the damage.<br />
Waves had travelled as far inland<br />
as St Peter’s Church. The ground<br />
floor of the Wheatsheaf Hotel<br />
was covered in three feet of water<br />
and empty beer barrels had<br />
floated away from the outhouse.<br />
The road from the bottom of the<br />
Allandale hill to the Wheatsheaf<br />
was a quagmire with receding<br />
water still running across it in<br />
places and dead and exhausted<br />
sheep lying along its length.<br />
One farmer lost about 200 sheep<br />
from paddocks on both sides of<br />
the road - the force of the tidal<br />
wave carried the animals out of<br />
their paddocks and into a nearby<br />
property. Fences were destroyed<br />
and ditches blocked. Flounder,<br />
conger eels and red cod lay in<br />
the paddocks. Dogs chained to<br />
their kennels were drowned. The<br />
Press reported the Wheatsheaf<br />
proprietor Mary Packer managed<br />
to keep up a supply of beer<br />
which was welcomed by locals as<br />
they strove to clean up the mess,<br />
though their efforts tended to be<br />
thwarted by fresh tidal surges<br />
coming through.<br />

BAY HARBOUR<br />
PAGE 7<br />
after powerful earthquake<br />
At Sandy <strong>Bay</strong>, Graeme Small<br />
saw the harbour empty out:<br />
“I was about 11 or 12 … I<br />
looked out – hmmm, it’s a low<br />
tide, there’s no water. And it<br />
was right out as far as the end<br />
of Quail Island. Quail Island<br />
was high and dry… I rushed<br />
inside and said, ‘Oh, there’s no<br />
water.’ ‘What d’you mean?’ I<br />
said, ‘There’s no water in the<br />
harbour, it’s all gone.’ They said,<br />
‘Rubbish.’ They came out and,<br />
‘Oh, where’s it gone?’… Woooof,<br />
back up it came. I took the day off<br />
school – I bunked it. My parents<br />
didn’t know until late in the day.<br />
I took a sugar bag … down to<br />
Māori Gardens. There were fish<br />
stranded on the beach. I took the<br />
sugar bag and got flounders and<br />
sole…”<br />
Seeking a deeper water access<br />
to Governors <strong>Bay</strong>, where steam<br />
craft such as the John Anderson<br />
could berth, the Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
Board built another wharf,<br />
in March 1883, at Percevals Point<br />
(now the point off Sandy <strong>Bay</strong>).<br />
This jetty was known variously as<br />
Small’s jetty, Percevals Point jetty<br />
and Sandy <strong>Bay</strong> jetty. Today only<br />
the piles remain. The narrow<br />
track that now runs from Sandy<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> round to the remaining jetty<br />
piles was once a busy official<br />
road providing access to the bay<br />
for cargo and visitors. However<br />
HISTORIC: Visitors enjoying the Governors <strong>Bay</strong> foreshore. The<br />
Sandy <strong>Bay</strong> jetty can be seen in the distance.<br />
PHOTO: CORAL ATKINSON<br />
the jetty was dismantled in 1938<br />
following a tragic incident.<br />
Two young Christchurch boys<br />
were fishing from the jetty. One<br />
lad, walking backwards while<br />
unwinding his lines, fell in. Local<br />
resident Angus Small pulled him<br />
out of the water but the boy died.<br />
His family attempted to sue the<br />
Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong> Board because<br />
the jetty had been constructed<br />
without railings at the end so that<br />
cargo could be loaded.<br />
Accidents of a different sort<br />
could occur on the harbour.<br />
Gladys Robertson recalled a<br />
frightening childhood experience<br />
when she and her sisters were<br />
returning from Lyttelton in January<br />
1907:<br />
“Margaret wanted to come<br />
home on Purau but I loved John<br />
Anderson and insisted on going<br />
on her. I think the Captains must<br />
have had an argument on who’s<br />
boat could go the fastest. Well<br />
we got out the moles, with Purau<br />
hot on our stern. John took a<br />
straight line for the short wharf<br />
and we expected Purau to go to<br />
the long wharf, but she got up a<br />
great speed and took off for Quail<br />
Island. We sat on the seat and<br />
watched and when she swung<br />
round and faced us her bow was<br />
right out of the water with speed,<br />
FLOODED: The effects of the May 1960 tsunami can be seen<br />
here at Teddington. The old Blacksmith’s shop, adjacent to the<br />
Wheatsheaf Hotel and now restored and operating as a smithy,<br />
can be seen on the right.<br />
she came straight at us, but poor<br />
kids we thought she would turn<br />
off, but a deck hand rushed along<br />
& pitched us along to the cabin &<br />
told us to go in the cabin quickly<br />
and stay there. With that there<br />
was a splintering crash & poor<br />
old John lay on her side with<br />
Purau half over us. She slid back<br />
into the sea & backed off & set<br />
off happily for her destination.<br />
Our engines were not damaged &<br />
we crawled in to the short wharf<br />
w[h]ere we were hurried off.”<br />
The need for sea transport<br />
waned as road access to the head<br />

of the harbour improved. Of the<br />
approximately seven jetties that<br />
were once in use between Teddington<br />
and Sandy <strong>Bay</strong>, only the<br />
long jetty remains, earthquake<br />
damaged and marooned at midlow<br />
tide. The rebuilding of this<br />
jetty will restore a much-loved<br />
piece of maritime history to the<br />
local community and the citizens<br />
of Christchurch.<br />

Controversial<br />
bus stop<br />
approved<br />
A CONTROVERSIAL bus stop<br />
outside Wakefield Ave businesses<br />
will be installed in spite of pleas<br />
from business owners.<br />
The Linwood-Central-<br />
Heathcote Community Board<br />
approved to move the existing<br />
southbound bus stop on the<br />
bend of Marriner St and<br />
Wakefield Ave to 1, 5, 7 Wakefield<br />
Ave.<br />
It was due to sit outside Sumner<br />
Pharmacy as part of the Sumner<br />
Village Centre Master Plan but<br />
businesses owners contested it as<br />
it would effect parking and create<br />
more noise.<br />
The city council generated a<br />
report in response and suggested<br />
another six options but listed<br />
relocation 50m north as the<br />
preferred option.<br />
That will see the bus stop<br />
moved in front of other<br />
businesses – Beachside<br />
Convenience, Stoked Surf Shop,<br />
IndiMex Restaurant and Retreat<br />
Apartments.<br />
The bus stop installation will<br />
see the removal of three on-street<br />
car parks outside the stores.<br />
Construction is proposed to<br />
start in March and will take<br />
about five months.<br />
Fence draws criticism<br />
• By Annabelle Dick<br />
REDCLIFFS residents are<br />
angered over ‘prison-type’<br />
fencing that’s been installed<br />
along Moa Bone Point Cave.<br />
The city council installed a 2m<br />
safety fences along the cliff side<br />
of Main Rd to keep people out of<br />
the dangerous rockfall area last<br />
month.<br />
Redcliffs Residents Association<br />
says the spear posts make it<br />
look aggressive and obtrusive.<br />
“It’s unnecessary. This strikes<br />
us as complete overkill and they<br />
had the choice to do something<br />
a little less aggressive,” secretary<br />
Pat McIntosh said.<br />
Fencing has been installed at<br />
Moa Bone Point, and will also<br />
be installed at Shag Rock Reserve<br />
and Wakefield Ave, from<br />
Nayland to Paisley Sts as part of<br />
the Sumner Lyttelton Corridor<br />
project.<br />
Residents have fought the<br />
fence installation since the<br />
project’s designs were released<br />
as they felt a 2m fence was too<br />
imposing.<br />
The residents association<br />
instead fought for a 1.2m poolstyle<br />
fence with hazard signs<br />
instead of the proposed fence.<br />
After public consultation<br />
in June, the city council went<br />
ahead with installing the 2m<br />
pool-style design in spite of<br />
submissions against it.<br />
City council general manager<br />
city services David Adamson<br />
said the consultation was only<br />
on the style of fencing, and the<br />
decision on the spear top was<br />
made after consultation.<br />
But Dr McIntosh says the city<br />
council didn’t indicate spears<br />
would be a part of the design.<br />
“The consultation process<br />
looks like sham because they’ve<br />
put up a different style fencing<br />
from what they pictured in the<br />
consultation,” Dr McIntosh said.<br />
Mr Adamson said the aluminium<br />
spear top pool-style fencing<br />
was chosen as the rod top poolstyle<br />
fencing wasn’t available<br />
from a local manufacturer.<br />
“Local manufacture is important<br />
as we may need to replace<br />
panels in the future due to damage<br />
and we needed to be able to<br />
quickly source matching panels<br />
to ensure the area remains safe<br />
with people not able to easily<br />
access the hazardous areas,” he<br />
said.<br />
He added it wouldn’t be feasible<br />
to remove it due to the cost.<br />
The residents association has<br />
written to the Linwood-Central-<br />
CORDONED<br />
OFF: A 2m<br />
fence is being<br />
installed along<br />
the Sumner<br />
Lyttelton<br />
Corridor to keep<br />
people out of<br />
the rockfall<br />

been called<br />
an eyesore by<br />
residents.<br />

DONE AND DUSTED: Shipping containers have been removed<br />
at Peacocks Gallop on Main Rd. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />
Main Rd now free<br />
from containers<br />
SHIPPING CONTAINERS that<br />
have lined the route to Sumner<br />
for the past five years are finally<br />
gone.<br />
The last container of about 160<br />
at Peacocks Gallop was removed<br />
on Monday.<br />
Shipping containers were<br />
placed at Peacocks Gallop and<br />
several other sites after the<br />
February 22, 2011, earthquake<br />
to protect road users from slope<br />
instability hazards from the cliff<br />
face.<br />
The city council said remediation<br />
works have been completed<br />
to a stage where the containers<br />
are no longer needed.<br />
The road was protected by<br />
containers until high-grade mesh<br />
wire could be installed to mitigate<br />
rockfall risk.<br />
The mesh acts as a curtain<br />
draping over the cliff and in the<br />
event of rockfall, it will fall underneath<br />
into a catch pit instead<br />
of towards the road.<br />
The remediation works were<br />
done by Land Information New<br />
Zealand as part of the Sumner<br />
Lyttelton Corridor re-opening<br />
programme.<br />
A 2m fence will also be<br />
installed next year at Peacocks<br />
Gallop to keep people out of the<br />
hazardous rockfall area.<br />
SUMMIT: Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong>’s Korimako and Kotuku classes reached the summit after a four<br />
hour trek uphill. <br />
Hot, hilly trek for pupils<br />
DIAMOND <strong>Harbour</strong> School’s<br />
year 5 Korimako class joined<br />
the Kotuku class for a trek up<br />
Mt Herbert.<br />
It began as a hot morning<br />
and the pupils faced a long day;<br />
beginning at 8.30am and not<br />
returning until 4.30pm.<br />
It was a long and steep walk<br />
that took four hours to ascend<br />
to the summit and 3.5 hours to<br />
descend.<br />
The climb started at Orton<br />
Bradley Park and they took<br />
a new track created by Pete<br />
Ozich.<br />
On the way down, some students<br />
chose to take the<br />
gorse route down, however,<br />
this was proven not to be a<br />
shortcut.<br />
To end the journey pupils<br />
encountered ongaonga and<br />
muddy tracks with no dry way<br />
around – and most of them had<br />
a cold dip in the stream to wash<br />
the mud off.<br />
It doesn’t cost the earth<br />

‘Tis the Season<br />
Market Comment with Craig Prier<br />
In a flash Christmas is almost upon us. That time of<br />
year when everything must be done with a cut-off<br />
date in mind before businesses close down and<br />
families go on well-deserved holidays.<br />
It’s been a year with all the usual twists and turns<br />
and the real estate market has been no exception.<br />
Changes in LVR’s, a further reduction in the OCR, a<br />
softening of the rental market have all played their part in<br />
shaping the market to what we have today. Throw in a serious earthquake and<br />
some initial concerns around insurance cover then it’s not hard to realise we<br />
live and work in an ever-changing environment.<br />
Our hearts and thoughts go out to the families of North Canterbury who have<br />
been so devastatingly affected by the events of the November <strong>14</strong> earthquake.<br />
It’s a tough time for so many people especially leading up to Christmas.<br />
Ray White Ferrymead would like to thank you for your business this year, and<br />
wish you and your families happy holidays and safe travels if you are getting<br />
away over the festive season. We look forward to the challenges that 2017<br />
will bring, and hope wherever you are it’s with great friends and family. Merry<br />
Christmas!<br />
A Little Ray of<br />
Giving - please<br />
donate to our tree<br />
We have begun our collection<br />
for A Little Ray of Giving this<br />
year, and have had some<br />
fantastic community support<br />
already! Sumner, Redcliffs<br />
and Mt Pleasant Schools<br />
are all working towards<br />
collecting together with us,<br />
and helping to teach children<br />
in our community about<br />
the gift of giving, as well<br />
as receiving at this time of<br />
year. Any gifts are gratefully<br />
received from now until Dec<br />
20th in our office, and until<br />
the last day of school on Dec<br />
16th, if dropping off there.<br />
We warmly welcome new agents to our office...<br />
Eddie Spry has worked in our office for the<br />
past few months, gaining his real estate license.<br />
He brings with him a wealth of customer<br />
service experience working within the butchery<br />
industry for the past ten years. Eddie has been<br />
a dedicated surf lifesaver for the past seven<br />
years, he is now a member of the Sumner<br />
Surf Lifesaving Club and looks forward<br />
to spending time in and around the<br />
community over the coming months.<br />
Dan Newburgh is the newest member of our team, he<br />
has been working alongside Matt Clayton, one of our top<br />
performing agents, gaining valuable insight into how to<br />
achieve premier status, and consistently achieve 10/10<br />
service. Dan has substantial work experience, with his<br />
last role as a general manager of a successful South<br />
Island commercial cleaning company. Dan’s natural<br />
enthusiasm for property is infectious, and he is<br />
excited to be able to provide top level customer<br />
service to his clients.<br />

ASSET: Deputy mayor Andrew Turner speaks at the<br />
hand-over of the new fire tanker. <br />
Firefighters receive<br />
new tanker<br />
A NEW fire tanker that can<br />
handle Banks Peninsula’s roads<br />
has been given to the Governors<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> Rural Fire Force.<br />
The tanker was commissioned<br />
by the city council’s Rural Fire<br />
Authority and has been purpose-built<br />
to suit the Port Hills<br />
and Banks Peninsula terrain.<br />
The tanker replaces an old<br />
appliance that was used in<br />
Governors <strong>Bay</strong> for almost 16<br />
years and was handed over by<br />
deputy mayor Andrew Turner<br />
last Sunday.<br />
City council principal rural<br />
fire officer Darrin Woods said<br />
the new tanker would be used<br />
for emergencies not only in<br />
Governors <strong>Bay</strong> but throughout<br />
the wider Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
Basin and Banks Peninsula<br />
areas.<br />
“As we head into the summer<br />
months it is a great to know the<br />
that Governors <strong>Bay</strong> Voluntary<br />
Rural Fire Force has a fit-forpurpose<br />
tanker in their arsenal<br />
of fire-fighting equipment,” Mr<br />
Woods said.<br />
KIND GESTURE: Countdown Eastgate customer service<br />
manager Jenny Small and Salvation Army’s Major Paul<br />
Herring have teamed up to make Christmas easier for<br />
struggling families. They have joined forces to help<br />
Christchurch families by providing vital food assistance as<br />
part of the Christmas Food Rescue Appeal. The supermarket<br />
is urging shoppers to help feed local families in need<br />
by making a food donation in-store in specially marked<br />
Christmas food rescue trolleys, a cash donation at the<br />
checkout or an online donation at The Foodbank Project.<br />
Countdown Eastgate also donated $500 worth of groceries.<br />
Gifts wanted<br />
for needy<br />
families<br />
AT A time of year when the gift<br />
of giving is in the spotlight, the<br />
team at Ray White Ferrymead<br />
are doing their bit to help<br />
out families who are in a less<br />
fortunate situation than others.<br />
It’s the second year they are<br />
taking part in the community<br />
charity initiative ‘A Little Ray<br />
of Giving’ and they’re aiming<br />
to making this year bigger than<br />
last!<br />
“We’re partnering again this<br />
year with Christchurch City<br />
Mission to distribute gifts,” said<br />
Ray White Ferrymead principal<br />
Craig Prier.<br />
“With the outstanding support<br />
from the beach, hill and harbour<br />
suburbs last year our office collected<br />
the most gifts of any Ray<br />
White office in New Zealand!<br />
This year we’re aiming to keep<br />
that top spot and are once more<br />
calling on the local community<br />
to embrace the giving season<br />
and dig deep for those who need<br />
it most.”<br />
To help spread the Christmas<br />
cheer, it’s as simple as taking<br />
something suitable for a child or<br />
teenager into the Ray White Ferrymead<br />
office until <strong>December</strong><br />
22, and stashing it under the<br />
Christmas tree.<br />

Having travelled extensively I<br />
thoroughly enjoy immersing<br />

any destination I get the<br />
opportunity to visit. Travel is<br />
my passion & I love helping<br />
clients create an unforgettable<br />

I have travelled to over 35 different<br />
countries and my “to-do” list is<br />

its history and culture is a<br />
definite favourite of mine.<br />
For me, travel is inspiring<br />
and transformative - it allows<br />
you to learn more about the<br />
world around you, and in<br />
the process, more about<br />
yourself.<br />
I love travel- to enjoy different cuisine,<br />
culture, history, scenery, people<br />

sense of richness of a culture,<br />
especially accessing places<br />
that are so remote and<br />
untouched. Sports games<br />
are a highlight of most of my<br />
holidays as well as exploring<br />
national parks!<br />

Your Local Views<br />
Library back in business<br />
Redcliffs<br />
Volunteer<br />
Library subcommittee<br />
member Jan<br />
McLauchlan<br />
talks about<br />
the opening<br />
of the new facility after<br />
the original library was<br />
damaged in the 2011<br />
earthquake<br />
The new Redcliffs Library<br />
building was opened by the<br />
Mayor of Christchurch Lianne<br />
Dalziel on <strong>December</strong> 2 and the<br />
first customers were welcomed in<br />
last week.<br />
Library staff have been<br />
delighted to see many familiar<br />
faces coming in to look through<br />
the distinctive new building that<br />
they’ve watched take shape over<br />
the last few months.<br />
The opening was the culmination<br />
of 5½ years of perseverance<br />
by a small but determined group<br />
of volunteers, led initially by Jan<br />
McLauchlan then for the last two<br />
years by Tuula Rapley, and including<br />
at various times Suzanne<br />
Craig, Nicola Holdaway, Eddie<br />
Hayes, Rose Phillips, Bronwyn<br />
Goldschmidt and Pauline Peterson,<br />
always with the support of<br />
local MP Ruth Dyson, the rest<br />
of the library committee and a<br />
team of over 30 librarians.<br />
At first the library planned<br />
to relocate a house and develop<br />
it but the involvement of the<br />
city council (thanks to Cr Yani<br />
Johanson who has supported our<br />
project from day one – without<br />
him the project would not have<br />
happened) meant a purpose-built<br />
facility could be constructed.<br />
The building, owned by the<br />
city council but an autonomous<br />
volunteer facility, was designed<br />
by Greg Young and built by City<br />
Care Ltd whose attention to detail<br />
and pride in their work was<br />
outstanding.<br />
The library has a great stock of<br />
books including new releases each<br />
month and there is a special focus<br />
on children’s and young adults’<br />
reading. There are comfortable<br />
chairs and beanbags where customers<br />
can relax and read.<br />
We welcome new customers to<br />
become members of the library<br />
– there is just a small charge<br />
for adults’ books which may be<br />
borrowed for three weeks or for<br />
DVDs for one week. The librarians<br />
are all volunteers and are<br />
happy to recommend books for<br />
you.<br />
Everyone involved is excited to<br />
have the library back in the heart<br />
of the community and we look<br />
forward to many more people<br />
sharing this stunning new facility<br />
with us.<br />
$500 donation from Lions<br />
THE FERRYMEAD Lions<br />
Club has contributed towards<br />
the building of the new<br />
Redcliffs Library.<br />
Club members presented a<br />
$500 cheque to library staff at<br />
a ceremony last month.<br />
Redcliffs Library subcommittee<br />
members Jan<br />
McLauchlan and Tuula Rapley<br />
accepted the cheque and also<br />
spoke about the rebuild.<br />
“The team have worked<br />
extremely hard,” Lions club<br />
member Neville Barrie said.<br />
Redcliffs Library was officially<br />
opened on <strong>December</strong><br />
2 by city councillors Yani<br />
Johanson and Sara Templeton,<br />
Port Hills Labour MP Ruth<br />
Dyson, library patron David<br />
Cox, library sub-committee<br />
members Jan McLauchlan<br />
and Tuula Rapley and Mayor<br />
Lianne Dalziel.<br />
Mr Barrie is also inviting<br />
community-minded people<br />
to join the Ferrymead Lions<br />
Club by phoning him on 384<br />
4558.<br />
THANKFUL: Ferrymead Lions<br />
Club member Russ Fergus gifted<br />
a $500 cheque to Redcliffs<br />
Volunteer Library sub-committee<br />
members Jan McLauchlan (left)<br />

CELEBRATION: The opening of the Redcliffs Library.<br />
Plenty to celebrate<br />
Port Hills<br />
Labour MP<br />
Ruth Dyson<br />
talks about<br />
projects<br />
wrapping<br />
up in the<br />
community<br />
There have been so many<br />
celebrations within our communities<br />
over the last couple of<br />
weeks. I think it will send us into<br />
Christmas in exactly the right,<br />
positive frame of mind – well I<br />
certainly hope so!<br />
Recent events have included<br />
the opening of the beautiful<br />
Beachville seawall. Fantastic<br />
crowd of people and local<br />
students with both stalls selling<br />
their own goods and busking!<br />
The local construction team,<br />
Seipp Construction won not just<br />
one but two awards for this work<br />
– best in their category as well<br />
as best overall in the Canterbury<br />
Contractor of the Year award.<br />
Well done!<br />
And nearby Redcliffs Park<br />
hosted home all the runners and<br />
walkers in the Summer starter –<br />
great to see so many people just<br />
having a good time – and raising<br />
money for excellent causes as<br />
well!<br />
The proposal for the park to be<br />
the site of Redcliffs School came<br />
as a shock to nearby residents<br />
who are very supportive of the<br />
school returning to Redcliffs but<br />
did not expect the park to be the<br />
site.<br />
I have asked the Ministry of<br />
Education and the council to<br />
“join up” rather than run two<br />
separate processes, because<br />
people need all the information<br />
so that they can contribute to the<br />
process in the best way possible.<br />
If they get just slices of information<br />
at a time, it is much harder<br />
to make that contribution.<br />
My suggestion has been accepted<br />
and I look forward to<br />
a comprehensive community<br />
briefing about the entire process<br />
and options in the near future.<br />
And of course we have had<br />
the opening of both Redcliffs<br />
Library and Heathcote community<br />
centre and library, both<br />
significant assets and a real tribute<br />
to the input and tenacity of<br />
local people working alongside<br />
the council. And in Lyttelton, a<br />
lovely celebration of the Sumner<br />
Rd retaining wall – yes it has<br />
been a long time but it was a really<br />
big job!<br />
It is the silver lining from the<br />
quakes and assets we can be<br />
proud of going into the future.<br />

• By Katherine Fitch<br />
THE KEPLER Challenge is<br />
one of New Zealand’s draw<br />
card events and typically sells<br />
out within minutes of online<br />
entries opening.<br />
The strength and talent of<br />
the Sumner Running Club<br />
was demonstrated by the<br />
number of club runners who<br />
competed in both events and<br />
the high-ranking places that<br />
they achieved.<br />
In the 60km Kepler Challenge<br />
event, Vajin Armstrong,<br />
who was competing in the<br />
event for the fifth time, was<br />
the first of the Sumner Running<br />
Club members to cross<br />
the line, taking out second<br />
place overall in a blistering<br />
time of 5h 1m. Next across<br />
the line in 13 th place overall<br />
and first in the 40+ age group<br />
was David Fitch, who was<br />
competing in his first Kepler<br />
Challenge and ultra-distance<br />
race in a time of 5h 49m.<br />
Hot on his heels was Simon<br />
Wooding, who put in a very<br />
solid run crossing the line in<br />
17 th place overall in a time of<br />
5h 57m. David Slater crossed<br />
the line in 28 th place overall in<br />
a respectable time of 6h 20m.<br />
Slater declared not long after<br />
finishing the event that he already<br />
had his eye set on a subsix<br />
hour goal for next year.<br />
John Fitch, who made his<br />
return to the Kepler after an<br />
absence of 10 years, completed<br />
the event in 6h 41m taking<br />
out first place in the 50+ age<br />
group. The two Fitch brothers<br />
took out first place in the 40+<br />
and 50+ age groups.<br />
Lisa Brignull was the only<br />
female Sumner Running Club<br />
member in the 60km race.<br />
Brignull put in an outstanding<br />
performance, completing the<br />
distance in 6h 45m, which<br />
placed her seventh women<br />
overall and second in the 40+<br />
age group. Brignull’s run was<br />
made all the more remarkable<br />
given she had three days<br />
notice before the race that she<br />
had won a place to run in the<br />
event.<br />
Across in the 27km Luxmore<br />
Grunt, there was a tough<br />
battle being fought for the top<br />
three places. Last year’s winner<br />
and Sumner Club member,<br />
Tane Cambridge, put in<br />
a very strong performance to<br />
cross the line in fourth place<br />
this year sneaking just under<br />

VICTORIOUS:<br />
Sumner Running<br />
Club members<br />
Nathan Jones, John<br />
Fitch, David Fitch,<br />
Katherine Fitch,<br />
Lisa Brignull, Vajin<br />
Armstrong and Simon<br />
Wooding made a<br />
strong impression at<br />
the Kepler Challenge. <br />
the two hour mark in 1h 59m.<br />
Nathan Jones and Katherine<br />
Fitch also completed the<br />
Luxmore Grunt, having both<br />
changed to this shorter event<br />
as a result of injury. Nathan<br />
was 45 th overall and Katherine<br />
63 rd overall.<br />
The strong Sumner Running<br />
Club presence in this<br />
highly-competitive and sought<br />
after event continues the long<br />
history of solid performances<br />
by club members, both past<br />
and present, at the Kepler<br />
Challenge.<br />

Warm greetings to<br />

It is with pleasure that am able to report to our<br />
community that Linwood College has had a<br />
most positive year.<br />
It has been a year of significant busyness<br />
reflecting the growth and positive nature<br />
of the wider environment: significantly<br />
increased academic achievement, community<br />
consultation for our redevelopment and<br />
whole-school rebuild, our third year of<br />
providing education at Year 7-13, curriculum<br />
and teaching changes for a connected and<br />
pathwayed curriculum, digital learning<br />
and the daily bedrock practices of positive,<br />
learning-focused relationships. At Linwood<br />
College the individual matters.<br />
Education is a vast field and terms<br />
like ‘modern’ and ‘innovative learning<br />
Six Duke of Edinburgh Gold Awards<br />
This year has been an extremely successful<br />
year at Linwood College for many of senior<br />
students who have completed their Duke<br />
of Edinburgh Hillary Gold Award, a highly<br />
distinguished achievement and one which<br />
represents a culmination of many years of<br />
effort, both physically and mentally.<br />
Gold Awards were presented by the<br />
Governor-General of New Zealand -<br />
Right Honourable Dame Patsy Reddy<br />
environments’ and ‘21st Century learning’ are<br />
being regularly used in the media. Linwood<br />
is clear-eyed about the forms of education<br />
that work for our students. We are focusing<br />
on ‘flexible learning environments’ so that<br />
learning can be individualised and students<br />
see pathways for themselves that engage and<br />
inspire. It is not about ‘traditional’ or ‘modern’,<br />
but personalisation so the systems adapt to<br />
the learner, not the other way round.<br />
Common sense and formal research are<br />
united and very clear on the attitudes,<br />
skills and knowledge that lead secondary<br />
school students on to a successful postschool<br />
pathway, both in tertiary study and in<br />
employment, and it is the daily focus on these<br />
attributes, principally through our SEaRCH<br />
values – Service, Excellence, Respect,<br />
Curiosity and Honesty – that is at the heart of<br />
our school.<br />
Nga mihi nui and best wishes for the festive<br />
season and summer holiday.<br />

Our People<br />
Tasman Gillies<br />
Maori environmentalist follows<br />
Tasman Gillies, 27 of Ngāi Tahu (Ngāti Wheke), is a third<br />
generation tāngata tiaki and guardian of Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />
Annabelle Dick talked to him about his work and how he<br />
almost followed a completely different career path<br />
You work for Ngāi Tahu, can<br />
you tell me about what you do?<br />
I’m an environmental advisor<br />
– mahinga kai monitoring and<br />
enhancement for Ngāi Tahu.<br />
You’re also tāngata tiaki –<br />
what does that mean and what<br />
do you do in that role?<br />
Tāngata tiaki are guardians<br />
responsible for managing fisheries<br />
resources. In regards to<br />
my role as tāngata tiaki, it’s an<br />
ongoing thing. It’s the legislative<br />
side so it’s a ministerial appointment.<br />
Effectively we manage<br />
the mātaitai (an identified<br />
traditional fishing ground with<br />
special status) and issue customary<br />
fishing permits for the ngāti<br />
wheke area. In the harbour, ngāti<br />
wheke is a representative on the<br />
Whakaraupo/Lyttelton Catchment<br />
Management Plan so I’m<br />
the science advisor for that.<br />
You’re a third generation<br />
tāngata tiaki, can you tell me<br />
about your family and their<br />
involvement?<br />
My pōua was involved in<br />
the establishment of the first<br />
mataitai reserve at Rapaki. The<br />
whole purpose is a recognition<br />
of rangatiratanga and the<br />
relationship with the traditional<br />
fishing grounds and customary<br />
fishing management within the<br />
mataitai. They were made the<br />
first ever tāngata tiaki.<br />
Did having the family connection<br />
prompt you to follow it<br />
as a career?<br />
It definitely influenced it, but I<br />
didn’t go to university intending<br />
to study it or come out involved<br />
in this area. My Dad’s a GP so<br />
I went down to study medicine<br />
and in the first year I knew it<br />
wasn’t for me. I’m not sure if I<br />
would’ve got into my second<br />
year, but regardless, I didn’t want<br />
to do it. Funnily enough, I told<br />
my dad and he laughed and said<br />
“good, because I didn’t think<br />
you wanted to do it, but I didn’t<br />
want to influence your decision.”<br />
I laugh at that because I could’ve<br />
saved myself a year but, at the<br />
same time, I had to realise it.<br />
I changed course and ended<br />
up gravitating towards marine<br />
LEGACY: Tasman Gillies is continuing his family legacy as a<br />
third generation tangata tiaki.<br />
PHOTO: NGĀI TAHU<br />
science and work associated with<br />
mahinga kai.<br />
Did you learn a lot about your<br />
family in the process?<br />
Yes. You start to run into<br />
people that used to know my<br />
pōua and talk to them. The<br />
people I work with now at Ngāi<br />
Tahu worked with him when<br />
he was alive and, being an iwi,<br />
some of them are related to him<br />
as well so you hear stories. You<br />
definitely learn the technical<br />
things like dates and specific<br />
legislative parts and what<br />
mātaitai is and taiapure.<br />
Considering the involvement<br />
your pōua had, do you feel any<br />
pressure to live up to his name?<br />
Not at all – if anything it’s<br />
more understanding about what<br />
he wanted. The process that him<br />
and Henry Couch were involved<br />
with, and what they did to get<br />
the mātaitai in place, it was a<br />
lengthy process. For me, it’s<br />
about understanding what he<br />
wanted to achieve because Ngāi<br />
Tahu always uses the saying<br />
“Mō tātou, ā, mō kā uri, ā muri<br />
ake ne,” which means “for us<br />
and our children after us.” It’s a<br />
pretty straightforward concept.<br />
Knowing my pōua was involved<br />
in that whole process, and being<br />
third generation tāngata tiaki, it’s<br />
quite a literal thing for me. In his<br />
mind, he wanted to sustain the<br />
fisheries and have management<br />
over it so our generation could<br />
too. It comes back to the concept<br />
of kaitiakitanga, or kaitiaki,<br />
which means guardianship<br />
or stewardship over the<br />
environment. Ngāti Wheke<br />
is my hapu, so that’s Rāpaki.<br />
Our area is Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
or Whakaraupo and because<br />
I whakapapa back to there,<br />
kaitiaki or guardianship is also<br />
a responsibility – so our world<br />
view is we have a responsibility<br />
to take care of it as well.<br />

The Pilgrim: Soldier. Hostage. Survivor.<br />
by Colin Maclachlan<br />
I was naked, handcuffed, and blindfolded. All around me, the<br />
voices of my captors shouted continuously in my ear – a stream<br />
of Arabic I couldn’t understand. It became an endless mantra<br />
as I struggled to work out what had gone wrong – what had<br />
happened that landed me up in this horrible situation. I could feel<br />
warm blood running down the back of my head, mixing with the<br />
sweat and dust that already caked my body. My head throbbed<br />

THIS BOOK<br />
from the repeated pistol barrel and rifle butt jabs. It felt like the onset<br />
of a migraine, that kind of numbing pain that lets you know the fun’s<br />
about to really start. Things took the express lift from bad to absolutely<br />
horrendous… there seemed a real finality in the tone of what they said. My stomach sank…<br />
Colin Maclachlan is instantly recognisable as the granite faced Scot who formed part of the<br />
elite ex special forces team in the hit Channel 4 TV series SAS: Who Dares Wins. During his<br />
22 years in the armed services, he faced danger and death on many occasions and The<br />
Pilgrim is his action-packed autobiography. Growing up with an abusive parent, he was<br />
forced to sign up for the army at the age of 15. After 10 years in the Royal Scots, he was the<br />
first in his regiment in 20 years to pass the selection process for the SAS. Over the next 12<br />
years he established a reputation as one of the most talented members of the elite special<br />
force. He worked alongside MI5, MI6, <strong>14</strong> Int, GCHQ, SBS, CIA, Delta Force and Seal Team<br />
6 – one of the few to have contact with all these departments. As a trained hostage negotiator<br />
and rescuer, he was part of the notorious Operation Certain Death in Sierra Leone and was<br />
the first sniper on the scene of a hijacked flight at Stansted. He was then on the other side of<br />
a rescue mission when he was taken hostage in Basra in 2006 and brutally beaten before<br />
being rescued by British troops. The Pilgrim is more than just a Boy’s Own story. It is a<br />
heartfelt exploration of what it means to be a modern soldier, to work in the SAS, to have a<br />
gun held to your head, to see your friends die beside you – all in the line of duty.<br />
I Won’t Be Home for Christmas<br />
by Amanda Prowse<br />
Romance blossoms in New Zealand when a lonely mother visits her grown up daughter<br />
at Christmas.<br />
While her free-spirited daughter travels the world, Vivienne prepares for a lonely Christmas in<br />
Bristol, with her best friend Ellen and her ancient dog Bob. Then a letter arrives that changes<br />
everything. Vivienne’s daughter is getting married in New Zealand, and she wants her mum and<br />
Ellen by her side. But out on the rugged coast of Tutukaka, the sea sparkles, romance beckons<br />
– and Vivienne falls under the spell of another life. Will she leave everything she holds dear for<br />
a chance at happiness? Or will her daughter be the only one to fall in love this Christmas?<br />

in his grandfather’s footsteps<br />
HOME: Tasman Gillies is at home in the harbour.<br />
Being tāngata tiaki is not so<br />
much about continuing his<br />
legacy – it’s more what I should<br />
be doing anyway. The kaitiaki<br />
concept isn’t exclusive to Maori,<br />
I think people should have a responsibility<br />
towards the environment<br />
and take care of it because<br />
we’re being trusted to take care<br />
of it while we’re here for future<br />
generations.<br />
Did you grow up at Rāpaki?<br />
We moved to Rāpaki when I<br />
was nine. I was born in Australia<br />
and lived in a little town called<br />
Alstonville near Byron <strong>Bay</strong>. Both<br />
of my parents are Kiwi and I<br />
have two older sisters. We kind<br />
of grew up in the bush – we<br />
lived in a big valley and the next<br />
neighbour was a kilometre away<br />
so we had all the room to play<br />
around but we had to be careful<br />
because it was Aussie. We knew<br />
we were Maori but, in Australia,<br />
we were absent from the culture<br />
in a sense. When I moved here, it<br />
was a big learning curve. I think<br />
that was why our parents wanted<br />
us to move back to see those<br />
things.<br />
What does your family do?<br />
My mum and dad still live<br />
in Rāpaki – he’s a doctor. My<br />
sister works for the Ministry of<br />
Education, but she was previously<br />
a Maori teacher at Lincoln<br />
High School. My other sister is a<br />
dentist in Masterton.<br />
What was it like moving to<br />
Rāpaki?<br />
It was a shock initially. You<br />
can know you’re Maori but then<br />
someone goes “oh you’re Maori,<br />
do you want to be in the Kapa<br />
Haka group?” I didn’t even know<br />
what that was. People look at<br />
you funny because they know<br />
things about your culture that<br />
you don’t. But in saying that, my<br />
sister became a Maori teacher.<br />
It’s been a massive learning<br />
curve but also a really good one.<br />
It’s more than the acknowledgement<br />
I’m Maori now. Now I’m<br />
part of it.<br />
Where did you go to school?<br />
I went to Lyttelton West then<br />
Cashmere High School.<br />
I heard you were head boy,<br />
too? You kept that one quiet.<br />
Yeah I was . . . that was a laugh.<br />
Do you have any hidden<br />
talents?<br />
I won the dance competition<br />
at the work Christmas function<br />
out of like 300 people. I don’t<br />
know what kind of dancing I<br />
was doing and when and where I<br />
picked it up . . . I just free-styled.<br />
I think I picked it up from those<br />
Step Up films from years ago. I<br />
was dressed as The Wiggles with<br />
a few of the guys from work.<br />
What do you do for fun?<br />
I love surfing and skiing and I<br />
used to do waka ama, too, which<br />
is outrigger canoeing.<br />
Have you travelled overseas?<br />
In 20<strong>14</strong>, after I had submitted<br />
my masters thesis, I went to<br />
Canada. I lived in Whistler for a<br />
year working at the bar and on<br />
the mountain and just skied and<br />
had fun. I had a good time and,<br />
by the end of the year, I came<br />
back wanting to make use of my<br />
degree and be more involved in<br />
something besides living paycheck<br />
to paycheck.<br />
Were there any bear encounters?<br />
Yeah, walking through the<br />
village early morning and I was<br />
still quite tired and went through<br />
the forest section in the valley.<br />
I looked up and there’s a beer<br />
standing just in front of me. He<br />
didn’t really care so I just turned<br />
around cause I didn’t want to<br />
deal with it. You get them everywhere.<br />
They’re quite clever so a<br />
lot of the door handles are knobs<br />
because they know how to open<br />
the levers. Stuff like that I wasn’t<br />
used to. The raccoons were<br />
hilarious but they’re the weirdest<br />
creatures that waddle around.<br />

Meditation and Buddhism<br />

Today, 7.30pm-9pm<br />
Each class consists of a guided<br />
meditation and a talk based on<br />
Buddhist wisdom. Classes are<br />
suitable for everyone. Join in any<br />
week, booking is not required.<br />
This course will help you to<br />
experience mental clarity and<br />
inner peace by meditating on<br />
the mind itself. Meditating on<br />
our own mind has many benefits<br />
from calming our mind and<br />
helping us to dissolve away distractions,<br />
worry and delusions,<br />
to improving our concentration<br />
and mindfulness.<br />

REAL ESTATE<br />
Experience the magic of Clifton<br />
22 Tuawera Terrace, Sumner<br />
4 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms | 2 living areas | 1 car-garage | 2 off-street parks | Listing # FM5018<br />
Homes like this on the lower slopes of<br />
Clifton Hill are seldom available, especially<br />
ones so tastefully revitalized.<br />
Nestled in a family-friendly street, this<br />
property really sings with an uplifting<br />
seaside energy. Crisp, clean lines and<br />
interesting angles feature throughout the<br />
thoughtfully configured house. Beautifully<br />
polished floors, new carpets, and fresh<br />
colours complement the dynamic and<br />
breathtaking views over Pegasus <strong>Bay</strong> and<br />
the city, across to the alps and Kaikouras.<br />
Large, sun-soaked living areas flow onto<br />
multiple sea-facing decks offering plenty<br />
of options for family time and year-round<br />
entertaining. Four north-facing bedrooms,<br />
two with ensuites, give you the option of<br />
either guest accommodation or a work<br />
from home scenario with the lower level<br />
having separate access, ensuite and private<br />
deck. The sunny, contemporary kitchen has<br />
views to the ocean and cleverly connects to<br />
the dining/living area.<br />
The expansive, flat lawn and established<br />
sub tropical garden with mature<br />
native trees, offers a private, sheltered<br />
microclimate with spaces for all the family<br />
to enjoy. As well, a large internal access<br />
garage has excellent storage capacity and<br />
an adjoining study nook is ideal for office<br />
or hobbies.<br />
The location is superb with the wonders of<br />
the ever-developing Sumner and Redcliffs<br />
at your doorstep. Only a few minutes walk<br />
down handy tracks and you’re at the beach<br />
and Sumner Village, with its eclectic mix<br />
of cafes and restaurants, beach culture<br />
and highly desirable school options. Don’t<br />
miss this property that has been a muchloved<br />
family home for 22 years. Now is the<br />
time to pounce on a true piece of Clifton<br />
paradise.<br />
