Cause of Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
plume still a mystery<br />
• By Annabelle Dick<br />
A MYSTERIOUS black plume that<br />
invaded Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong> last<br />
week has experts confused.<br />
A dark trail of silt spotted in the<br />
harbour on Friday was mistaken<br />
for seaweed and an oil spill but<br />
initial reports from Environment<br />
Canterbury said it was coal dust<br />
from the port.<br />
But Lyttelton Port of<br />
Christchurch is unsure whether it<br />
is coal dust and ECan said it’s not<br />
100 per cent certain it’s coal either.<br />
“The plume does not match what<br />
we would have<br />
expected from the<br />
coal types stored<br />
in Lyttelton,” LPC<br />
chief executive<br />
Peter Davie (left)<br />
said.<br />
“The last coal<br />
ship in Lyttelton Port left on December<br />
14.”<br />
The long, black trail lingered<br />
around Governors <strong>Bay</strong> and the<br />
head of the harbour so residents<br />
reported it to ECan.<br />
“It was very noticeable. It seemed<br />
to increase over the weekend – I<br />
could see about four concentrations<br />
of it,” Governors <strong>Bay</strong> resident<br />
John Thacker said.<br />
ECan said it received a “few<br />
complaints” and sent someone out<br />
to investigate it that same day.<br />
“Given the nature of the dust, we<br />
can’t clean it up with a boom, and<br />
while it covers a reasonable area it<br />
is non-toxic to marine life. We are<br />
still investigating this incident,”<br />
ECan investigations and incident<br />
response regional leader Valyn<br />
Barrett said.<br />
Mr Davie said the port company<br />
is working with ECan to collect<br />
samples and have them analysed.<br />
Mr Thacker, who used to work as<br />
a biosecurity officer for ECan, isn’t<br />
happy that the black silt has been<br />
left in the harbour.<br />
“I know how ECan works and<br />
I know the whole system so I feel<br />
they’re putting their heads in the<br />
sand. If this was an oil spill they’d<br />
be out there straight away to stop<br />
it. This is having the same effect<br />
because it’s starting to wash up on<br />
beaches around the foreshore.”<br />
He’s worried about the effect<br />
it will have on the environment,<br />
humans and pets.<br />
“When I asked about pollution<br />
they said it’s not going to affect<br />
the marine life. That can’t be right,<br />
some of snails that are quite precious<br />
are in that water and siphon<br />
the water through their system.<br />
How are they going to deal with<br />
it?” he said.<br />
Test results are expected<br />
back within the next couple of<br />
days.<br />
MYSTERIOUS: A trail of black silt hung around the head of the harbour for several days.<br />

Mountain bikers gear<br />
up to ride new track<br />
A NEW mountain bike<br />
track built predominantly by<br />
volunteers has opened on the<br />
Port Hills.<br />
The 3.8km track, currently<br />
called the Montgomery Spur<br />
Loop Track until it is formally<br />
named, is the first new public<br />
track to be built on the hills in<br />
about a decade.<br />
It’s the result of work by about<br />
40 volunteers, contractors and<br />
city council staff.<br />
“It’s been 75 per cent volunteer<br />
labour, 15 per cent contracted<br />
construction and about 10 per<br />
cent council oversight, planning<br />
and helping to transport gear up<br />
there,” Christchurch Singletrack<br />
Club Port Hills track liaison and<br />
development officer Graham<br />
Allan said.<br />
He co-ordinated the team of<br />
volunteers who worked on the<br />
project over the past 18 months.<br />
He’s been a regular volunteer,<br />
helping the city council with<br />
track maintenance on the Port<br />
Hills for 10 years.<br />
The new track sits<br />
within Montgomery Spur<br />
Reserve on land that was<br />
mandated in 2010 for a mountain<br />
bike track.<br />
NEW: The Montgomery Spur Loop Track is the first public track<br />
to be built on the hills in about 10 years.<br />
It’s close to the Rapaki Track<br />
but provides an additional loop<br />
that’s designed for beginner to<br />
intermediate riders.<br />
The only access to the track is<br />
from the mid-way point of the<br />
Rapaki Track, but there are plans<br />
to introduce other access points.<br />
It takes about 25 minutes to<br />
ride, but Mr Allen said the track<br />
provided a lot of variety and<br />
challenges without too much<br />
risk.<br />
“The scenery looking out over<br />
the city is amazing. It has really<br />
filled that niche of a track that<br />
helps people get from the flat<br />
lands up on to the hills because<br />
there are no steep drop-offs. It<br />
gives them a bit of playground<br />
where they can ride without<br />
fear of taking a tumble because<br />
there’s nothing to fall on but<br />
tussock,” he said.<br />
“We’re really pleased to see<br />
it open and being discovered<br />
and enjoyed by a wide range of<br />
riders.”<br />
Cabbage trees destroyed<br />
• By Annabelle Dick<br />
CABBAGES TREES hacked in<br />
half along the coastal pathway<br />
is believed to be an act of<br />
‘vandalism’ by a resident.<br />
Three trees planted by volunteers<br />
in the first coastal pathway<br />
planting were cut and left to die<br />
on the causeway on Main Rd<br />
late last month.<br />
Christchurch Coastal Pathway<br />
secretary Tim Lindley said he<br />
doesn’t think it was mindless<br />
vandals, but someone from<br />
within the community with<br />
a personal dislike for cabbage<br />
trees.<br />
“It is deeply disappointing<br />
that someone in our community<br />
feels they have a right to destroy<br />
publicly planted cabbage trees<br />
because they personally don’t<br />
like them – it seems very much<br />
like ‘spoilt child behaviour’, presumably<br />
from an adult,” he said.<br />
The first trees were planted in<br />
2013 and more were planted in<br />
the next section of the pathway<br />
up to Scott Park. Some of the<br />
newer plants were found ripped<br />
out and thrown onto nearby<br />
rocks.<br />
Dr Lindley said during the<br />
consultation process, some<br />
residents were vocal about not<br />
wanting cabbage trees in the<br />
planned nature reserve opposite<br />
Redcliffs Park.<br />
The $25 million pathway,<br />
SABOTAGED: Maturing<br />
cabbage trees have been<br />
culled along the coastal<br />
pathway <br />
that will span from Ferrymead<br />
Bridge to Scarborough Beach,<br />
relies on a large amount of volunteer<br />
work.<br />
The act of sabotage has angered<br />
Dr Lindley for that reason.<br />
“It’s made us very upset with<br />
whoever who would do that,” he<br />
said.<br />
“To get the coastal pathway<br />
project this far had taken<br />
thousands of hours of voluntary<br />
work, and many other volunteers<br />
work on local projects to<br />
restore wetlands, bring native<br />
bush back into to the gullies,<br />
and eradicate pests.”<br />
Dr Lindley said the incident<br />
hasn’t put the pathway group<br />
off planting cabbage trees in the<br />
next stages of the project.<br />
In spring, planting will occur<br />
at the planned nature reserve on<br />
Beachville Rd.<br />

FIRE RESTRICTIONS<br />
Fire restrictions are being<br />
imposed across Banks<br />
Peninsula due to concern<br />
about dry weather conditions.<br />
The wider Christchurch and<br />
peninsula area is experiencing<br />
deep-seated drought. From<br />
midnight tonight anyone<br />
wanting to light a fire will<br />
need a permit from the city<br />
council. City council rural fire<br />
officers will be available to issue<br />
permits and requests can be<br />
made through the city council<br />
call centre on 941 8999.<br />
BID TO CLEAN RIVER<br />
A new $1.5 million filtration<br />
system could help clean up the<br />
Heathcote River and reduce<br />
flooding. The filtration device<br />
could reduce dissolved metals by<br />
up to 25 per cent and sediment<br />
by 40 to 50 per cent. Zinc from<br />
tyres and copper from brake<br />
pads that gets washed off the<br />
roads when it rains is one of the<br />
principal sources of contaminants,<br />
along with sediment, in<br />
our waterways. It is planned to<br />
locate the filtration device at the<br />
planned new pump station in<br />
Richardson Tce.<br />
ROAD WORKS<br />
Traffic will be affected on Mt<br />
Pleasant Rd due to underground<br />
work. Connetics will be<br />
doing cable work from near the<br />
intersection of Mt Pleasant Rd<br />
and Moncks Spur Rd for about<br />
seven weeks from <strong>January</strong> 19.<br />

Don’t be a fool on water<br />
• BY GARY MANCH,<br />
NAVIGATIONAL SAFETY OFFICER,<br />
LYTTELTON<br />
THE HOLIDAY period is a<br />
busy one for our office as the<br />
waterways are at their peak with<br />
everyone making the most of<br />
the summer break.<br />
However, I sometimes<br />
wonder whether people leave<br />
their brains at home when they<br />
finish work for the holidays as<br />
this is the time of year I get the<br />
most complaints about poor<br />
behaviour on the water.<br />
While holidays are there for<br />
rest and relaxation, they are<br />
also times when, if we let our<br />
guard down, injury or death is<br />
a sad result of poor behaviour<br />
on the water. It does not take a<br />
brain surgeon to realise that if<br />
you are speeding on your boat<br />
near people or other boats, and<br />
you make a mistake, then the<br />
chances of losing control or<br />
hitting someone or something<br />
are higher than if you had been<br />
obeying the rules.<br />
THe Maritime Rules and<br />
Navigation Safety Bylaw 2016<br />
are there for one thing and<br />
one thing only – to make our<br />
waterways safe. They are not my<br />
rules, but ones I have the task<br />
of getting all of you out there in<br />
boats – no matter whether it’s a<br />
Pirate’s Corner<br />
STAY SAFE: Have fun on the<br />
water but make sure all on<br />
board wear a life jacket.<br />
dingy, kayak or powerboat – to<br />
comply with through education<br />
and enforcement.<br />
As I have said thousands of<br />
times, my aim is not to stop<br />
you having fun on the water,<br />
but my job is to make sure that<br />
everyone on a boat uses it safely<br />
and does not put either the<br />
skipper, crew or other users at<br />
risk.<br />
THis season we will be having<br />
unannounced no-excuse<br />
enforcement days where we will<br />
be targeting boaties who are<br />
breaking the rules by travelling<br />
in excess of the five knot rule<br />
or not wearing life jackets. My<br />
hope is that we do not have to<br />
issue any infringements and<br />
people comply with the relevant<br />
bylaws and navigation rules.<br />
So to put it in a nutshell,<br />
be considerate to each other,<br />
respect the areas that have<br />
various rules regarding speed<br />
and, lastly, wear your life jacket<br />
on any vessel 6m or less, which<br />
includes paddleboards and<br />
kayaks.<br />
Something to be proud of<br />
Port Hills MP<br />
Ruth Dyson<br />
talks about<br />
achievements<br />
within the<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
community<br />
HAPPY NEW Year to you and<br />
I trust that you have had a bit of<br />
a break from your routine and<br />
been able to spend time with<br />
family and friends. I hope that<br />
<strong>2017</strong> is good to you.<br />
Just before Christmas,<br />
Kiwibank announced the 10<br />
finalists in each category under<br />
their New Zealander of the Year<br />
Award.<br />
There are several different<br />
categories in addition to the<br />
actual New Zealander of the<br />
Year.<br />
The event actually starts with<br />
local heroes leading to an overall<br />
winner in this category, and<br />
Young New Zealander of the<br />
Year, Senior New Zealander of<br />
the Year, New Zealand Innovator<br />
of the Year, New Zealand Community<br />
of the Year.<br />
The description for the Community<br />
of the Year title is pretty<br />
awesome. It says that they have<br />
to have shared a strong sense of<br />
community spirit or played a<br />
vital role in enhancing the social,<br />
economic, cultural or environmental<br />
prosperity of their<br />
region.<br />
It is important to recognise and<br />
encourage these groups as their<br />
efforts make our communities<br />
stronger and more vibrant and<br />
promote true community spirit<br />
for this and generations to come.<br />
Amazing words!<br />
So here’s something to be really<br />
proud of in our area. Out of<br />
the 10 finalists in this community<br />
category, two are from your<br />
neighbourhood!<br />
One is the 0800 Hungry<br />
Ministries Trust, which provides<br />
food parcels for thousands of<br />
Cantabrians who are in need of<br />
support.<br />
The other is the Redcliffs community.<br />
We all witnessed the<br />
strength and unwavering<br />
commitment this community<br />
gave in the battle to keep our<br />
school. And it succeeded, even<br />
though the school is now to be<br />
on a different site – it’s still in<br />
Redcliffs.<br />
We won’t know the overall<br />
winner for another couple of<br />
weeks, but 0800 Hungry and<br />
Redcliffs community deserve a<br />
huge shout out for making it into<br />
the final 10.<br />
Well done! You have earned<br />
the recognition this placing gives<br />
you.<br />

Readers respond to our<br />
article about the city<br />
council making design<br />
changes to St Andrews<br />
Hill Rd intersection after<br />
engineers found its layout<br />
is dangerous<br />
Ann Carey – Not good<br />
enough. That intersection has<br />
been in a repair state for years<br />
and years, finally get it finished<br />
and an idiot could tell that it is<br />
not functioning properly. Who<br />
signed off on that?<br />
Helen Wood – Why does<br />
it take two years for the powers<br />
that be to accept they have made<br />
a mistake? Beyond belief! Well,<br />
I suppose it’s being sorted next<br />
year, so thumbs up. Have to get<br />
Christchurch back.<br />
Scott Nelson – Simple fix –<br />
painted roundabout opposite St<br />
Andrews Hill Rd, to give them<br />
priority when there’s no southbound<br />
traffic on Bridal Path Rd<br />
travelling through the lights<br />
along with no U-turn signs on all<br />
approaches or at least for those<br />
heading southbound on Bridal<br />
Path Rd.<br />
Adelle Simpson – If<br />
Christchurch City Council<br />
designed it then they should pay<br />
for it to be fixed not the taxpayer.<br />
The residents told them it was<br />
badly designed but did they<br />
listen?<br />
Geoff Carter – Just wasting<br />
more taxpayers’ money . . . and<br />
then they will say that rates will<br />
go up again.<br />
Trish Feeney – Typical!<br />
Some of these “designer” geezers<br />
need to resit their so called<br />
degrees.<br />
Nicholas Smeaton – I<br />
think sacking the person responsible<br />
might motivate the other<br />
council mandarins into lifting<br />
their game.<br />
Olivia Gwen Murtagh – A<br />
very educated person found<br />
a way to spend lots of Kiwi’s<br />
money on the design and will<br />
get paid big time to put it back to<br />
how it was.<br />
Cheryl Morrison – At least<br />
they have stopped worrying<br />
about the colour of the Mitre 10<br />
building. On to the next thing.<br />
Nelson Yorke – Even I could<br />
see this was poorly designed and<br />
I used to drive buses through<br />
there.<br />
Dean Buckeridge – Almost<br />
got taken out by a bus while on<br />
the bike myself there this morning.<br />
Madeleine Hurricks –<br />
Turning into Durham St from<br />
Lichfield and Oxford Tce at the<br />
same time is another lights problem<br />
that awaits them.<br />
Janet Dean – It is a shocker<br />
of a design. I avoid it every day.<br />
If we can put a rover on Mars<br />
surely we can design a simple<br />
roundabout at the base of St<br />
Andrews Hill.<br />
Andrew Palliser – Probably<br />
the same clown that changed<br />
the lovely flowing Riccarton Rd/<br />
Deans Ave roundabout into traffic<br />
lights.<br />
A reader responds to<br />
Mt Pleasant resident<br />
Allan Williams gifting<br />
his well-known vessel<br />
Nautilus to Maritime New<br />
Zealand.<br />
Alison Ross, Lyttelton:<br />
Further to your article on<br />
the MV Nautilus (New Life<br />
for harbour icon, November<br />
16, 2016). The Nautilus carried<br />
the first three year’s tree<br />
supply to Otamahua/Quail<br />
Island for restoration planting,<br />
commencing in 1998 until<br />
the Lyttelton Port Company<br />
undertook the transport with a<br />
larger vessel.<br />
Such was the loading that<br />
the little ship resembled<br />
the maritime equivalent of<br />
Shakespeare’s concealed army<br />
forest moving from Birnam<br />
Wood to Dunsinane.<br />
She is a superb vessel on which<br />
the Otamahua/Quail Island<br />
Trust relied for many years<br />
for transport of both trees and<br />
volunteers to the island.<br />
However much as I enjoyed<br />
numerous trips to Quail Island<br />
and around the harbour, the real<br />
hero is Allan Williams.<br />
The former honorary German<br />
consul in Christchurch, Allan<br />
has given of his time unstintingly<br />
for public benefit, both for island<br />
transport as well as providing<br />
transport for the Department<br />
of Conservation when required,<br />
assisted for many years by the<br />
late Mike Read, his indefatigable<br />
captain.<br />
He has been the patron of<br />
the Otamahua/Quail Island<br />
Conservation Trust since its<br />
incorporation in 1998 and for<br />
those who have enjoyed a stroll<br />
on the island over the summer<br />
I am sure they would have<br />
appreciated the five magnificent<br />
seats spread round the island,<br />
designed by Allan’s son Paul,<br />
which Allan personally funded<br />
to around $15,000.<br />
I shall miss the little ship,<br />
now owned and operated by the<br />
New Zealand Maritime Museum<br />
in Auckland, but it is in good<br />
hands for the next generation of<br />
sailors and sailing enthusiasts as<br />
well as those working to preserve<br />
New Zealand’s maritime<br />
heritage, thanks to Allan’s<br />
generosity.<br />
And let’s not forget that a small<br />
group of generous liked-minded<br />
philanthropic individuals<br />
from Auckland recently gifted<br />
Heritage NZ $1 million towards<br />
the restoration of the Timeball<br />
tower in Lyttelton.<br />

‘thank you’ to the <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
News staff for the role it plays<br />
in uniting our communities. It<br />
delivers the news and issues to<br />
us without fear or favour.<br />
Traditionally, <strong>January</strong> is a time<br />
when we kick back, relax and recharge<br />
our batteries. It is a time<br />
of dual purpose where we reflect<br />
on the past as well as focus on<br />
our future aspirations.<br />
Exactly the same for me too. It<br />
has been about 100 days (sounds<br />
better than three months), since<br />
I was elected as a community<br />
board member so the break has<br />
been an opportune time for me<br />
to reflect on what it is all about.<br />
My first reflection relates to<br />
community stalwarts.<br />
Those unwavering and courageous<br />
individuals in our communities<br />
who will not take “no”<br />

SLOAN<br />
for an answer.<br />
You know who they are. They<br />
have been the driving force behind<br />
getting our new community<br />
centres, libraries and schools<br />
back into our communities.<br />
I have recently had the pleasure<br />
of attending several openings<br />
of these wonderful new<br />
community facilities. Without<br />
fail a key driver has been the<br />
committed persons who have<br />
challenged processes, stood tall<br />
and who have fought resolutely<br />
for the redevelopment of their<br />
libraries, community centres<br />
and schools.<br />
My second reflection is that in<br />
achieving new or rebuilt community<br />
facilities, stalwarts have<br />
worked collegially. However, in<br />
achieving success more often<br />
than not they have thumped<br />
tables and banged heads while<br />
challenging council processes.<br />
Moral of the story: Don’t take<br />
“no” from your council as final<br />
answer. Stand up for what you<br />
believe in.<br />
To the community stalwarts I<br />
say: “Very well done and I salute<br />
you!”<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 />
and their language. You feel a<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 />

Crummer looking forward to reunion<br />
Annie Crummer found<br />
fame with hits such as<br />
Language and See What<br />
Love Can Do. She spoke<br />
to Tom Doudney about<br />
working on new material<br />
and seeing dyslexia<br />
as a blessing, ahead<br />
of her performance<br />
with Debbie Harwood,<br />
Margaret Urlich and<br />
Sharon O’Neill at<br />
Lincoln’s Selwyn Sounds<br />
concert in March<br />
IT HAS been a long time since<br />
we’ve heard anything new from<br />
Annie Crummer but the singer<br />
is hopeful her fans won’t have to<br />
wait too much longer.<br />
Crummer hasn’t released a full<br />
album of original material since<br />
1996’s Seventh Wave. Since then<br />
fans have had to make do with<br />
a best of collection in 2002 and<br />
three songs released in 2010 as<br />
singles only.<br />
While she is reluctant to talk<br />
about release dates, she has been<br />
working on songs for an album<br />
which has a working title of Project<br />
Annie C.<br />
“I have got a bunch of songs<br />
that I am dying to get out of the<br />
demo situation and get into the<br />
studio and smash that stuff out,<br />
I’m the only one stopping me,”<br />
she said.<br />
“I’ve got a lot more to say musically,<br />
I will just have to get over<br />
myself and get on with it.”<br />
Crummer said that while she<br />
was known more as a singer than<br />
a songwriter, she had become<br />
more confident dabbling in song<br />
writing.<br />
“Melodies come really good to<br />
me but the way I write lyrics is<br />
quite odd because I am fully dyslexic<br />
so the way I explain things,<br />
I don’t think it’s the same as a<br />
non-dyslexic song writer.”<br />
Crummer only discovered she<br />
was dyslexic well into her adult<br />
years but the revelation came as a<br />
big relief.<br />
“When I look back I think: ‘Oh,<br />
I have been blessed with dyslexia,<br />
that’s all.’ I just learn things differently,”<br />
she said.<br />
“I forgave myself for feeling<br />
so dumb all these years because<br />
I left school really early and<br />
now when I look back at all the<br />
subjects I took it had nothing to<br />
do with anything technical, it all<br />
had to do with creative stuff.”<br />
Those subjects included<br />
classes on art, Maori culture and,<br />
perhaps surprisingly, typing –<br />
because she could just copy the<br />
patterns without thinking about<br />
the words.<br />
That ability to recognise patterns<br />
helped her land a leading<br />
role in the Australian version of<br />
Ben Elton’s hit musical-theatre<br />
production We Will Rock You,<br />
based on the songs of British rock<br />
band Queen, in 2003. To get the<br />
part of Killer Queen, Crummer<br />
had to audition in front of Queen<br />
guitarist Brian May and drummer<br />
Roger Taylor.<br />
“I had to learn the English phonetically<br />
and that is actually how<br />
I learn music too, I listen to where<br />
heart is needed and where anger is<br />
needed and all the emotions, I just<br />
SONGSTRESS: Annie<br />
Crummer has been working<br />
on material for her first album<br />
of original material in two<br />
decades.<br />
emulate those inflections without<br />
really knowing what I am talking<br />
about, but I have just fooled everyone,”<br />
she said.<br />
“I can’t believe I got that role, if<br />
only they knew how I did it. But<br />
it did catch up on me a couple of<br />
times on stage where I’d fumble<br />
BEST OF FRIENDS: From left, Margaret Urlich, Debbie Harwood<br />
and Crummer will perform together at Selwyn Sounds, along<br />
with Sharon O’Neill (not pictured).<br />
over a word because I didn’t fully<br />
understand it and I had to dig my<br />
way out of it, live.”<br />
She said that while the way<br />
dyslexic people figured things out<br />
might be different, the outcome<br />
could be incredible.<br />
Crummer, who lives in<br />
Auckland, said she loved that<br />
performing enabled her to travel.<br />
She always looked forward to<br />
playing with Harwood, Urlich<br />
and O’Neill, sometimes joined<br />
by Shona Laing, with the singers<br />
typically doing about three or<br />
four shows together a year.<br />
She was looking forward to<br />
reuniting with them for Selwyn<br />
Sounds.<br />
“I’m a huge fan of theirs and we<br />
have the utmost respect for each<br />
other so it’s a joy all round, a real<br />
buzz.”<br />
The concert will also feature<br />
Kiwi rock heavyweights Mi-Sex,<br />
Dragon, The Jordan Luck Band<br />
and Jason Kerrison.<br />
When she was not performing<br />
with Harwood and co or<br />
going solo, she often joined her<br />
father’s band, Will Crummer<br />
and the Rarotongans, playing<br />
songs which mostly sung in Cook<br />
Island Maori. Crummer took a<br />
more low key role in the band,<br />
playing the pahu and putting in<br />
some occasional backing vocals.<br />
She didn’t mind stepping back<br />
from the spotlight and credited<br />
her father with setting her on the<br />
path to stardom.<br />
“He gave me the gift of music,”<br />
she said.<br />
“I do count my blessings, that’s<br />
a daily ritual for me, the fact that<br />
I can do music and have never<br />
had a job.”<br />
•Selwyn Sounds will be held<br />
on March 4, from <strong>11</strong>.30am-<br />
8.30pm. Tickets can be<br />
purchased via Ticketek and<br />
buyers will be able to prepurchase<br />

BIG WIN: Coupland’s Bakeries<br />
managing director Lance<br />
Coupland presents the keys<br />
of a new Volkswagen Polo to<br />
Louisa Sinclair, the winner of a<br />
Coupland’s competition. While<br />
Mrs Sinclair, 34, described the<br />
win as an “amazing Christmas<br />
present”, she will be trading<br />
the car valued at $25,000 to<br />
support a trip to her homeland,<br />
Northern Ireland, next April.<br />
Living in Dunedin for the past<br />
seven years, Mrs Sinclair, her<br />
husband and two daughters<br />
will travel to Bangor for the<br />
first time since she moved<br />
to New Zealand. Mrs Sinclair<br />
won the competition through<br />
Coupland’s Bakeries at<br />
Andersons <strong>Bay</strong>, South Dunedin.<br />
She said the bakery is a regular<br />
stop for milk and thickly<br />
sliced white bread, while her<br />
favourites from the bakery are<br />
citrus truffles.<br />

Progress on farm environment plans<br />
• By Tom Doudney<br />
ABOUT A third of 900<br />
Selwyn Waihora Zone<br />
farmers who need to obtain<br />
a farm environment plan in<br />
the<br />
next six months have done so.<br />
Under Plan Change 1 to the<br />
Land & Water Regional Plan,<br />
farms not supplied by the<br />
Central Plains Water scheme,<br />
about 900 in total, will need<br />
to obtain land use consent.<br />
Having an audited farm environment<br />
plan will be a key<br />
part of that process and about<br />
300 of these farms already have<br />
theirs.<br />
The requirement to have a<br />
land use consent took effect<br />
from <strong>January</strong> 1 and farmers<br />
will have six months to lodge<br />
their application.<br />
Farm environment plans<br />
identify on-farm environmental<br />
risks and how they will be<br />
managed.<br />
Environment Canterbury’s<br />
Selwyn Waihora Zone team<br />
manager Michaela Rees said it<br />
was pleasing that many farms<br />
already had theirs.<br />
ECan would work with<br />
the others to make sure they<br />
could meet the six-month<br />
deadline.<br />
“In this catchment particularly,<br />
the community expects<br />
that we will take action where<br />
compliance is not being<br />
achieved – and that’s what we<br />
will do where necessary,” Ms<br />
Rees said.<br />

Sign of the Kiwi cafe returns<br />
• By Caitlin Miles<br />
AFTER NEARLY six years,<br />
the Sign of the Kiwi will reopen<br />
later this month.<br />
The building at the top of<br />
Dyers Pass Rd was closed following<br />
the September 4, 2010,<br />
earthquake. It suffered further<br />
damage on February 22, 20<strong>11</strong>.<br />
Before it was closed, it had a cafe<br />
and shop.<br />
The cafe will reopen on<br />
<strong>January</strong> 23 after more than<br />
$600,000 in strengthening<br />
work.<br />
The Sign of the Takahe,<br />
another protected heritage<br />
building, was also closed for<br />
repair work following the<br />
February 20<strong>11</strong> earthquake.<br />
Work on the building began in<br />
2015 and it is set to open next<br />
month.<br />
City council heritage rebuild<br />
programme manager Richie<br />
Moyle said the Sign of the Kiwi<br />
building was a piece of “old<br />
world heritage.”<br />
“The Sign of the Kiwi is a<br />
treasure of national significance,”<br />
he said.<br />
The Category 1 listed heritage<br />
building was built in 1916 and<br />
1917.<br />
During its restoration and<br />
repair work, contractors found<br />
song lyrics scrawled on the roof<br />
from an Eileen Barton song,<br />
which was released in the<br />
1950s.<br />
The message read: “If we had<br />
of known you were coming we’d<br />
of baked a cake.”<br />
City council heritage adviser<br />
Gareth Wright said it was<br />
likely the message was written<br />
by tradespeople when they battened<br />
the roof of the Sign of the<br />
Kiwi in the 1950s.<br />
Cashmere Ward city councillor<br />
Tim Scandrett said it will be<br />
exciting to have the cafe open<br />
again so locals and visitors can<br />
take in the views.<br />
“It will be great to be able to sit<br />
up there, enjoy an ice cream and<br />
the weather, and just look at one<br />
of the best views in Canterbury,”<br />
Cr Scandrett said.<br />
OPENING: The<br />
Sign of the<br />
Kiwi cafe will<br />
reopen this<br />
month after<br />
being closed<br />
for nearly six<br />
years. Views<br />
like the one<br />
below from<br />
Dyers Pass Rd<br />
can be seen<br />
from the cafe’s<br />
window.<br />
