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 />

year is generally associated<br />

with warmth, camaraderie and<br />

goodwill. On that note, as a<br />

community board member, a big<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 />

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 />

Travel for me has been a way of life over<br />

a twenty year career. I consider<br />

my travel style to be ‘active<br />

relaxation’ and love beaches,<br />

mountains and different<br />

cultures in particular Europe.<br />

I love local cuisine, markets<br />

and historical sites.<br />

I have a wealth of knowledge<br />

to help put the pieces of<br />

a complex travel jigsaw<br />

Having travelled extensively I<br />

thoroughly enjoy immersing<br />

any destination I get the<br />

my passion & I love helping<br />

I have travelled to over 35 different<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 />

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 />

News<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 />

a return bus ride<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 />

Living in Dunedin for the past<br />

seven years, Mrs Sinclair, her<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 />

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 />
