Community’s online bid to 

address crime in Lyttelton 

• By Noah Graham 

LYTTELTON resident Candice 

Milner has “had enough.” 

The 18-year-old, alongside 

many others in the community, 

is fed up with the number of car 

thefts and burglaries that have 

taken place in the area. 

She has teamed up with 

another resident, Paul Dietche, 

who are collecting data for an 

online survey on Lyttelton crime 

and the possible remedies. 

In the past month there have 

been seven car thefts residents 

have reported on the ‘Lyttelton 

– ain’t no place I’d rather be!’ 

Facebook page and tension is 

rising, Mr Dietche said. 

Last year he went public in Bay 

Harbour News, calling for better 

policing and CCTV cameras to 

be placed in Lyttelton to prevent 

crime. 

The CCTV cameras have yet to 

eventuate and Mr Dietche is still 

frustrated with police responses. 

So far, the pair have collected 

100 responses to their survey 

which shows the community is 

frustrating, Ms Milner said. 

The survey currently shows 

more than 90 per cent believe 

there has been an increase in 

crime. 

Sixty-six per cent, believed 

police response to crime is 

inadequate. 

Ms Milner said the statistics

in a bid to address crime.

show people want something 

done about the issue and there 

are two options – permanent 

police or CCTV cameras. 

She said nobody wants 

cameras in their area but if the 

crime continues, something has 

to be done. 

Mr Dietche said he will take

the information to the Banks 

Peninsula Community Board in 

the hope something will be done 

about it. 

He said there was no point in 

taking the information to the 

police because he had lost faith 

in them. 

“We don’t have confidence 

going to the police.” 

When Bay Harbour News 

contacted Lyttelton police 

Sergeant Dave Knowles he 

referred all inquiries to the 

police media communications 

centre. 

Canterbury and West Coast 

area prevention manager 

Inspector Paul Reeves said 

there has been no significant 

increase in the Lyttelton area 

recently. 

“While the station operates 

from 8am to 5pm, police service 

the Lyttelton area 24/7, with 

community patrols and officers 

from other parts of the metro 

area responding to any incidents 

or crime as needed,” Inspector 

Reeves said in an email.

FROM 

THE 

EDITOR’S 

DESK 

Good local policing involves good 

communication to their respective 

community – and often the best 

medium is the local newspaper. 

But in the case of the Lyttelton 

police that isn’t so. 

Today, we again reveal frustration 

over policing in Lyttelton. 

It’s not the first time we’ve covered 

this issue. Last year residents 

went public with concerns in Bay 

Harbour News over thefts, breakins 

and petty crime. But could we 

get the local police to respond? No. 

Now residents are collecting 

crime data themselves online and 

asking for remedies from the people 

who respond. 

We again asked Lyttelton police 

for a response. 

But local police can’t respond 

directly apparently. We had to go 

through a media centre, who got 

a Canterbury-based inspector to 

comment. 

It’s about time the police got local 

again. – Barry Clarke

Residents defend gum tree 


A 90-YEAR-OLD gum tree on 

private property is being 

cut down and residents are 

upset. 

The manna gum tree’s roots 

have dug into the hillside on 

Seamount Tce, Mt Pleasant, 

since the 1920s and when 

resident Eddie du Plessis heard 

the chainsaw on Monday 

morning cutting through its 

limbs, he rushed to defend the 

tree. 

Mr du Plessis, along with 

his wife Beverly, have lived on 

Seamount Tce for more than 17 

years and are disappointed the 

tree will be cut down. 

The 20m tall tree with a 

4.5m girth was taken off the 

notable trees list by the city 

council. 

This means property owners 

are allowed to keep or cut the 

trees on their property in spite 

of its previous status. 

Mr du Plessis said he had 

contacted the owner who said 

they would think about keeping 

it but doubted he would. 

Bay Harbour News was 

unable to contact the owner of 

the property. 

Mr du Plessis said it was 

a glorious tree and the

community would not be the 

same without it. 

Some people love it and some 

hate it, but it has been in the 

area longer than most of the 

residents, he said. 

“It’s like losing the 

foreground out of a picture. 

Without a foreground, 

there is no picture,” Mr du 

Plessis said 

“It is anchored firmly in the 

ground, is in excellent health, 

touches the sea and the sky and 

belongs here.” 

Online bid to 

address crime 

•From page 1 

Mr Dietche said he was worried 

people were getting “fed up” with 

the car thefts and were wanting to 

take things into their own hands. 

A member of the group, Kevin 

Hurl, posted: 

“Can I get a serious expression 

of interest from others who 

would be keen to get up in the 

middle of the night and take a 

drive around the port and possibly 

take action if needed. 

“I’m sorry if this sounds 

extreme but this has got out of 

hand and needs to be seriously 

addressed. 

“People have the right to sleep 

contented at night and expect 

their stuff to be there in the 

morning, Lyttelton should not be 

seen as an easy target.”

Cutting edge research sheep 

LOOK CLOSELY, there is 

something unusual about Sharon 

the sheep – and it could help us 

understand what makes human 

hair curly or straight. 

Far from being just one of the 

flock, the Dunsandel Merino 

Corriedale cross is one of about 

five or six ‘mutant’ Felting Lustre 

sheep around the country which 

have been identified for study by 

AgResearch. 

Research into mutant sheep 

has AgResearch scientists hoping 

for a greater understanding 

of curly and straight hair in 

humans, and the potential for innovative 

new wool products. 

While it is not known how 

many Felting Lustre sheep there 

are, they are rare and share 

the naturally occurring trait 

of straight wool, instead of the 

usual crimped wool. 

“With these mutant sheep, 

we can for example look at twin 

lambs where one has straight 

wool and another crimped wool 

– or one animal that transforms 

from straight to crimped wool 

over time - and study the key differences,” 

scientist Jeff Plowman 

said. 

“This can then be applied to 

our understanding of the differences 

in human hair. It’s an 

opportunity we would never

The work began in 2011, when 

an Otago lamb with an unusual 

coat was brought to the attention 

of AgResearch staff involved in 

wool research. 

Its appearance was so unusual 

that the lamb was initially 

thought to be a cross between 

a sheep and a goat. Part of this 

was because the lamb’s straight 

lustrous coat was reminiscent of 

an Angora goat. 

Genetic testing showed it was

was the result of natural mutation. 

“As a result, we started trying 

to locate more of these rare 

sheep, so we could study what 

makes them different and how 

proteins in the wool affect the 

fibres,” Dr Plowman said. 

“Thanks to the assistance of 

farmers who came forward with

these sheep, we were able to do 

that. 

“We have found they show a 

radical change in wool structure 

and properties that can be tied 

into specific protein changes.” 

Sharon was bought by 

AgResearch from a North Canterbury 

farmer and now lives on 

a farm in Dunsandel.

Bid to ease dredging concerns 


PARTIES INVOLVED in the 

controversial proposal to dredge 

Lyttelton Harbour will head to a 

pre-hearing meeting. 

Environment Canterbury has 

appointed facilitator Ken Gimblett 

to try and resolve some of 

the issues before a resource 

consent hearing begins. 

Lyttelton Port Company has 

applied for resource consents 

to lengthen the Lyttelton 

Harbour’s channel by 6.5km, 

widen it by 20m and increase its 

depth by 5-6m. 

A deeper dredged channel 

would enable larger vessels to 

access Lyttelton 

Port. 

However, 

residents do not 

want the harbour 

dredged. 

There has 

Darrell 

Latham 

been opposition 

to the proposal 

with Sumner 

and Taylors 

Mistake residents saying they 

were worried the 18 million 

cu m of spoil removed during 

the process would cause a “silt 

beach” if it was dumped 6km 

offshore of Godley Head. 

ECan received 44 

submissions, with 23 submitters 

CONTENTIOUS: Lyttelton Port Company is applying to dredge the harbour so larger vessels 

can access the port, but with community members objecting, a facilitator has been appointed 

to resolve any of the issues before the resource consent hearing. 

wishing to be heard by the 

committee, with the majority of 

the submissions opposing the 

proposal. 

Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board member 

Darrell Latham said he was not 

against the idea of dredging the 

harbour but it would have to be 

done carefully. 

“I am not opposed to the 

continued Lyttelton Port 

development operations. 

However, I am concerned 

around the proposed dumping 

ground and the environmental 

impacts of dumping vast 

amounts of dredged sediments 

near the entrance to Lyttelton 

Harbour.” 

ECan has appointed Sir 

Graham Panckhurst as the 

hearing commissioner along 

with Peter Atkinson and 

Raewyn Solomon on the panel. 

The hearing and pre-hearing 

date is still to be confirmed. 

Shellfish 

safe to eat 

It is once again safe to collect 

shellfish from Akaroa Harbour 

after a health warning was lifted on 

Friday. 

The Canterbury District Health 

Board issued a warning in October 

advising people not to eat shellfish 

between Motunau Beach in North 

Canterbury and Akaroa Harbour. 

In a statement released on Friday, 

the CDHB announced the health 

warning had been removed. 

Canterbury medical officer of 

health Dr Alistair Humphrey said 

tests on shellfish samples taken 

from the region showed levels of 

diarrhetic shellfish poisoning toxins 

were within the safe limit. 

“This is great news for those of us 

who love collecting and eating our 

own kaimoana. It has been a long 

wait since the warning was originally 

issued and lovers of seafood 

in Canterbury should be commended 

for heeding the warnings 

for so long,” he said. 

Mussels, oysters, tuatua, pipi, 

toheroa, cockles, scallops, catseyes, 

kina and all other bivalve shellfish 

are now safe to eat. 

Diarrhetic shellfish poisoning 

symptoms typically appear within 

half an hour of ingestion and last 

about 24 hours. Symptoms can include 

diarrhoea, vomiting, nausea 

and abdominal cramps

High cost to clean up Lake Ellesmere 

• By Tom Doudney 

THE SECOND phase of a 

programme to clean up Te 

Waihora/Lake Ellesmere 

is expected to involve a 

substantially larger financial 

investment. 

Environment Canterbury 

briefed city councillors on 

the Whakaora Te Waihora 

programme at a 

public meeting on 

Thursday. 

A document 

initially included in 

the agenda for that 

David 

Bedford 

briefing indicated 

that the second 

phase, to be carried 

out over the next 10 years, would 

cost a total of $95 million. 

This would complement a 

“community contribution” to 

cleaning up the wider Selwyn 

Waihora catchment of $774.6 

million over the same period. 

After the Selwyn Times 

inquired about the figures, the 

document was pulled from the 

agenda and no mention was 

made of the costs at the briefing. 

The first phase of Whakaora Te 

Waihora, from 2012 to 2016, involved 

an $11 million work programme 

over three years, jointly 

funded by central Government, 

ECan, Fonterra and Ngai Tahu. 

ECan and Ngai Tahu have 

been exploring options to fund 

the second phase, including 

co-funding arrangements with 

central Government, private 

investment, and alternative 

regional council funding models. 

ECan chairman David Bedford 

confirmed that about $95 million 

in resources would be required to 

progress lake restoration actions 

over the next 10 years. 

“The Te Waihora Co- 

Governance Group is currently 

progressing the draft investment 

approach. No further detail can 

be given on investment in Te 

Waihora restoration until that is 

finalised,” he said. 

Mr Bedford said the Te 

Waihora Co-Governance 

Group, comprised of ECan, Ngai 

Tahu, the district council and 

city council, also recognised 

the commitment made by the 

community and several agencies 

in managing water in the Selwyn 

Waihora catchment. 

“This contribution has been 

estimated at $774.6 million 

over a 10-year period – an 

estimate made considering 

a number of variables and 

current community and agency 

involvement, including ongoing 

work on farms, the Central 

Plains Water scheme, restoration 

work undertaken by the 

community, volunteer hours and 

in-kind contributions.” 

ECan declined to comment 

on how much of that figure 

represented actual financial 

investment as opposed to the 

value of work done voluntarily. 

Work to be completed in 

Whakaora Te Waihora’s 

second phase includes reducing 

phosphorous and sediment in the 

lake, re-establishing wetlands, 

and enhancing riparian 

plantings in the catchment, 

among other measures. 

It is expected to take about 

another 35 years to restore 

the health of the ecologically 

significant lake. During an 

unrelated debate at Wednesday’s 

Selwyn District Council 

meeting, councillor Pat McEvedy 

BIG EFFORT: 

The Whakaora 

Te Waihora 

programme 

aims to restore 

the lake over

said discussions were underway 

on whether the Central Plains 

Water scheme could be used to 

augment flows in the stressed 

Selwyn River. 

The river, which flows into the 

lake, has just recorded its sixth 

consecutive month of record low 

flows. 

After the meeting, Cr McEvedy 

told the Selwyn Times he couldn’t 

go into further details at this 

stage

SCHOOLS 

Pupils gain confidence 

through leadership 


DIAMOND HARBOUR year 

8 pupils have had a responsible 

start to their year. 

They have attended a variety 

of meetings alongside their new 

principal, Jill Pears, to learn 

about leadership and what is 

involved. 

Not only have they attended 

meetings, the students have 

undertaken specific roles of 

leadership such sports captains, 

music leaders, technology advisers, 

event organisers and enviro 

leaders. 

Ms Pears said giving the 

pupils these type of roles helps 

them learn and appreciate the

school values of manaakitanga, 

Whanaungatanga, kaitiakitanga, 

maramatanga and hauora. 

She said the school was hoping 

to build up the pupils’ confidence 

as they would all be doing 

presentations to the rest of the 

school later on in the term. 

To help with their public 

speaking skills, they were 

treated with talks from Dallas 

Leigh-Martene, a multi-award 

winning keynote speaker and 

speech writer from the United 

Kingdom. 

Ms Pears said the pupils had 

learned a lot and hoped it had 

given them more confidence 

with their public speaking skills. 


THE NEW Diamond Harbour 

School principal is finding the 

job busy, but rewarding. 

Jill Pears is in her third week 

as head of the school and knows 

it will come with its challenges, 

but she is enjoying the role. 

“I’m absolutely loving it. 

“I couldn’t be happier. They’re 

really lovely students,” she said. 

Ms Pears said the staff were 

welcoming and she has spent the 

first couple of weeks getting to 

know everybody. 

Before she took the role as 

principal, she was associate principal 

at Sumner School. 

Ms Pears said she has been in 

the education environment for 

more than 34 years as a piano 

teacher. 

However, when her children 

reached primary school, Ms 

Pears decided she wanted to embrace 

the teaching life fully and 

she trained to enter the school 

office permanently. 

Since then, Ms Pears has spent 

16 years working in school and 

loves the daily challenges it brings. 

HAPPY: The 

new Diamond 

Harbour 

School 

principal Jill 

Pears has had 

a busy couple 

of weeks so far 

but is looking 

forward to the 

challenges. 

New principal settles in 

As a teacher who has always 

had an interest in technology, 

particularly coding, Ms Pears 

is looking forward to next year 

when digital technology will be 

fully-integrated into the classroom. 

She said it is a completely 

different way of teaching from 

when she started but one that 

is exciting and challenging to 

implement. 

Ms Pears said she wanted to 

create an environment where all 

the teachers are capable at teaching 

coding to the children.

SKILL: Seven-year-old Charlie Hatley on the Sumner skate 

ramp for final time last Thursday. The Wakefield Ave skate 

ramp will be locked until Sumner Green and Skate Group 

find another site to build a ramp. 

Event farewells skate ramp 


MORE THAN 150 people 

celebrated the closing of the 

controversial Sumner skate 

ramp last Thursday night. 

With more than 70 children 

strapping on the knee and 

elbows guards and riding down 

the half pipe, the community 

came together one last time 

before the Wakefield Ave facility 

was permanently locked. 

The Sumner Green and Skate 

Group decided to close the 

skate ramp last week after local 

business complained it was 

causing too much noise and city 

council noise level tests showed 

it exceeded city plan noise 

standards. 

Sumner Green and Skate 

Group member Kimberly Mossman 

said the night was “bitter 

sweet”, but a lovely community 

event. 

She said the group would continue 

to work with city council 

to establish another skate ramp 

elsewhere in the community, 

preferably at 26 Nayland St. 

We said: 

The Sumner Green and 

Skate Group has closed 

down the Wakefield Ave 

skate ramp after it failed 

the city council’s noise 

level tests. 

You said: 

Michelle Hardy – Insulation 

under it will make it quieter, 

that’s what they did to the ramp 

in Methven, then put no skating 

after 10pm ( I think, could be 

9.30pm) stop taking things away 

from kids. Solutions are better 

than removal. 

Betty Campion – Is it close 

to houses? You will always get 

whingers who don’t like to see 

young people enjoying themselves. 

Maybe if a poll was taken 

this idea would not be supported! 

Rachel Crawford – I have 

to admit I agree with this. A 

neighbour four houses away had 

a skate ramp in their garden and 

it was super noisy, day and night. 

It sounded like someone was 

dragging a rubbish bin back and 

forth, day and night. I’m all for 

community gatherings and kids 

having somewhere to go, but if 

the actual sound of the skating 

could be minimised (insulation) 

in the first place, it would help all 

of the neighbours and businesses 

nearby stay sane. I’m guessing 

it was the sound we were hearing, 

the grating etc, that led to 

it being closed, not the actual 

people using it (like the sound of 

laughter and talking etc). 

Stewart Poi Kaa – So why 

not suggest insulation under the 

ramp? Surely we want to encourage 

our youth to be more active 

and outside enjoying themselves. 

If the location is the problem , 

can’t all parties find a solution. 

Sometimes, I have to wonder 

how the city council operates or 

maybe it has offered alternatives 

and the article hasn’t covered 

those points. 

Lynn Wood – Summer you 

are too precious for sure . . . 

maybe some did a spot of whinging 

. . . and lo and behold the 

council are onto closing it down. 

Like I said Sumner, you are too 

precious and the council, well 

enough said. Are there not more 

important things to worry about? 

Ann Mason – For goodness 

sake can we stop all this. It is 

like people buying houses near 

the airport and then complaining 

about the noise. Too many 

whingers. 

Heather Wilkins – Michelle 

Hardy’s suggestion seems good. 

All you need is one or two people 

to complain and whacko it’s shut 

down. People need to get a life. 

I don’t see them complain about 

child poverty. 

Jo Garrick – From the article 

I read, the city council approved 

it being there in the first place. 

Now it says it has to go. So 

insulation is the key and no skating 

after 9.30pm to appease the 

whingers. 

Tiffany Burke – If this is 

the case maybe the city council 

should test my neighbours, and 

then take them away too, I bet 

they make more noise than 

happy kids playing on a ramp. 

Gary Fox – Kids these days 

don’t go outside like they used 

to . . . moments later “oh no, 

they’re making noise, shut it 

down!’’ 

Penny Conaghan – That 

is just so pathetic. Some people 

just need something to complain 

about because they don’t have a 

life.

Your Local Views 

Jamie Fowler – Bahah, 

because there so many houses 

around it . . . pc world and you 

wonder why kids do nothing 

outdoors these days. 

Brenda Te Koeti – Recover 

in something else? Seems 

a shame to shut it down. It’s not 

like there’s a multitude of things 

for kids to do. 

Bobby Derek Pokoina – 

Give the kids another reason to 

play up on the streets. Stupid 

decision by a stupid city 

council. 

Moira Norton – Nimbys or 

front yard in this case. 

Anja Hansen – For god sake 

lets punish the kids why don’t 

we, find a solution instead of taking 

it away. 

Paul Jordan – Shocking turn 

of events. Very sad. 

Cathryn Lucy – Can’t it be 

moved somewhere less disturbing? 

Jan Johnson – Even swimming 

pools are noisy. Kids 

screaming etc. 

Troy Gearry – Get some 

earplugs. 

Corey Archer – Put it at the 

school. 

Tash O’Connor – Buzzkill. 

Lynn Mortlock – Another 

stupid council decision. 

David Carpenter – Good 

job. Other benefits besides eliminating 

noise. 

Brian Skinley – Get over it 

let the kids have fun a little bit of 

noise isn’t a major. 

Greg Longmuir – Let the 

kids have fun. 

FAREWELL: 

Skateboarders 

waiting for a 

turn on the ramp 

during the final 

event. 

PREFERRED: A computer-generated image of what the St Andrews Hill, Bridle Path and Main 

Rds intersection will become if option two is the final decision. 

Not enough intersection options 

Port Hills MP 

Ruth Dyson 

talks about the 

much-discussed 

Ferrymead 

intersection and 

how council has 

let the residents down. 

I remember the heated 

discussions that St Andrews 

Hill residents had with city 

council staff when the Main Rd 

intersection was first proposed. 

They said that it would be a 

shambles. 

The staff dismissed their views 

as being poorly informed. 

Well, guess what, it has turned 

out to be a shambles. The staff are 

now back out in the community 

holding consultation meetings 

about the options to fix the problems. 

So there is a pretty strong 

message there to be learnt about 

listening to locals from the start. 

But the consultation meetings 

and the options raise another 

couple of issues for me. 

The first is the time of the 

meetings. One was at Mt Pleasant 

Memorial Community Centre 

from 4.30–6pm. The second was 

at Heathcote community Centre 

from 5–6.30pm. 

Those are difficult times for 

people who are working in town 

or people who have young children 

who might be having their 

dinner at that time. 

Sure, people can submit without 

going to a meeting, but they 

are designed to give people information 

so their submission can 

be based on this information. 

A lot of people attended both 

but I am sure that a lot more 

people couldn’t make it. 

My second concern is about the 

narrowness of the options. 

The three options are – intersection 

as is, new traffic signals and 

new pre-signals and the third is 

no right turn from Bridle Path 

Rd to Main Rd towards Sumner 

unless you are coming from St 

Andrews Hill. 

I think there should always be a 

fourth option of – any other suggestions. 

With the three options 

we have been given, two of them 

will be pretty unacceptable – the 

intersection as it is which is causing 

so much frustration and risk, 

and the no right turn option. 

But is option two the best of the 

three? 

It seems like it will win by 

default rather than because it really 

fixes the problem in the best 

possible way.

Look after roses during hot weather 

It’s hot out there! 

Rachel Vogan has 

tips to keep your 

roses performing at 

their best in summer 

conditions 

ROSES JUST say: “Look at me!”, 

and why wouldn’t you look at 

them? Coming in a tapestry 

of shapes, colours and sizes, it 

shouldn’t be any surprise they 

are the world’s most popular 

flower. 

One of the best things about 

roses is they have a very 

generous spirit and, even better, 

a forgiving nature. They just 

want to please, so if you don’t 

have the time or inclination to 

do anything with your roses at 

the moment, don’t panic, they 

are still going to grow – but if 

you do spend some time and 

energy on them, the rewards will 

speak for themselves. 

WATERING 

To keep roses at their best water 

deeply and avoid getting any 

water on the flowers or foliage. 

I know this sounds pedantic, 

but if you want a flawless flower 

that’s the best tip I can give you. 

Drop the hose nozzle down onto 

the ground and enjoy the plant’s 

beauty for 10 or 20 seconds, then 

move on to the next plant. If you 

do this twice a week, they will 

love you for it. 

Water on the leaves and flowers 

can cause all sorts of problems, 

especially fungal and disease 

issues, like black spot, mildew 

and rust. Prevention is far easier 

to manage, hence my suggestion 

to keep the water at ground 

level. When water sits on the 

petals overnight, especially as 

summer changes to autumn, the 

night air gets much cooler and 

the droplets can burn the petals 

leaving freckle-like spots on the 

flowers. 

BLOOMS: To create a new flush of stems like these 

(left), deadhead on a regular basis. Rose ‘Playboy’ is 

a real attention-getter with its colourful display; 

MULCHING & FEEDING 

Roses are hard-working plants, 

and they can chew through the 

soil’s nutrients quickly during 

hot periods. An application of 

rose fertiliser now and a thick 

layer of rose mulch will replenish 

the soil’s fertility and give it a 

welcome boost. If you did this 

back in spring, you can hold off 

until autumn, but if you missed 

this step do it now. The mulch 

helps keep the roots cooler and 

enables the soil to hold onto 

more moisture. Look for rosespecific 

fertiliser and mulch 

because it does the best job, and 

if you are feeling generous, a 

drench of seaweed tonic or liquid 

plant food won’t go unrewarded 

with bigger and better blooms. 

STAKING & TRAINING 

Staking is a good way to support 

standard roses from being 

thrown around in the wind. Use 

a thick stake, and tie the trunk 

to it with some sort of soft tie 

or stocking. With climbers, the 

stems are quite pliable when they 

are young. On a regular basis, 

secure the new stems while they 

are still malleable to whatever 

structure you are growing them 

up. Cable ties are easy to use and 

blend into the background. 

DEADHEADING 

Deadheading is an easy job. By 

doing it on a regular basis, it 

speeds up the repeat flowering 

and makes for a tidier plant. 

Either remove the dead flower 

head or cut the stem down to 

the first or second set of leaves. 

When you are doing this, also 

consider the overall shape of the 

plant and trim longer branches 

back to encourage a bushier 

plant and to even up the growth 

habit. 

CUT FLOWERS 

Keep picking roses. The best 

time of day to pick them is first 

thing in the morning. Plunge 

them straight into a bucket of 

water to the neck of the bloom. 

They will happily sit like this for 

hours if you don’t have time to 

make an arrangement straight 

after cutting them. Place them 

somewhere cool away from 

direct sunlight. 

PROBLEMS 

Pests and diseases often appear 

at this time of year due to the 

hot temperatures and 

inconsistent watering. If 

problems occur, spray as soon 

as you spot a problem. Again, 

prevention is better than cure, 

so a regular spray programme 

to prevent issues is always best.

Memorial matches on Sunday 

Craig anderson 

Goldsmith 

has moved 


THIS SUNDAY will mark five 

years of hitting the pitch hard 

and playing off the right foot in 

memory of a Sumner sporting 

legend. 

Sumner Cricket Club will 

host its annual three T20 games 

one after another from 9am at 

St Leonards Square. 

The first game will be a junior 

and coaches match, followed by 

Sumner Wave against Sumner 

Invitational XI, with the Club 

Captain’s XI against President’s 

XI finishing the day. 

Club captain Dan Vann 

said the games are played to 

commemorate “the legend” Des 

Lyons who passed away in 2012 

at the age of 71, and his role 

within the community. 

The second game will feature 

players invited from Sumner 

clubs which Lyons contributed 

to, and the Sumner rugby team. 

Since 1956, when 15-year-old 

Lyons first joined the SCC, 

he had played and worked 

continuously for the club and 

maintained the St Leonards 

Square ground while also 

contributing to the community 

through other Sumner sports. 

Lyons looked after the St 

Leonards Square wicket and 

ground, was a surf lifesaver and 

was involved with tennis, golf, 

squash, water polo, hockey, 

bowls and rugby clubs. 

Vann said the day was a good 

way to remember Lyons and his 

efforts, while also a chance to 

raise money for the club to keep 

it improving. 

Each player in the last game 

of the day will be sponsored by 

a local business with the money 

going to the SCC. It will be a 

great day for families with 

food and drink available, Vann 

said.

Purchase Pitfalls 

– LIMs and Meth Tests 

ADVERTORIAL 

When purchasing a property a sale 

and purchase agreement will often 

include a number of purchaser’s 

conditions giving purchasers the 

opportunity to carry out and be 

satisfied with their due diligence 

before they are required to 

commit to the purchase. Common 

conditions relate to checking 

the legal title, the Council’s 

Land Information Memorandum 

(LIM), obtaining engineering, 

geotechnical or other professional 

reports, a building report, finance 

and insurance and general due 

diligence. 

Although the above conditions 

are important considerations, 

this article will focus on just two 

of them: obtaining your own LIM 

and the relatively recent condition 

relating to methamphetamine 

testing of a house. 

LIMs 

LIMs provide a summary of 

the Council’s information on 

the property and include rates 

information, resource consents 

issued, building consents and 

permits issued, potential land 

contamination, zoning information, 

and now more recently, notification 

if a property has been tested and 

identified as being the subject of 

methamphetamine contamination. 

There is a widely accepted practice 

for real estate agents to purchase 

LIMs on behalf of their vendor 

clients in order to supply copies to 

prospective buyers. This has the 

obvious advantage of being able 

to provide this information from 

the outset before an agreement is 

even formed. Even though many 

purchasers would be wise to have 

their lawyer consider the LIM, the 

vendor providing it cuts down 

the time required to then order it 

from the Council. This is especially 

common in auctions, where bidders 

are bidding to purchase on an 

unconditional basis. 

The problem with relying on a LIM 

supplied to someone else (the 

agent or the vendor or even a 

previous purchaser on a collapsed 

sale) is that there is no direct 

relationship/contract with the 

Council, meaning that if you did not 

order and pay for the LIM you will 

have no claim against the Council 

if there is inaccurate information 

in that LIM. It is important to 

note that it is also common for 

other property reports (building, 

engineering, valuations) to 

specifically exclude any liability to 

third parties who have not ordered 

and paid for the relevant report. 

If you intend to be able to rely on 

the information provided in a LIM, 

then you may wish to ensure that 

you order your own LIM. 

Meth Testing 

This is more of a recent concern 

to home buyers and has been 

highlighted in the media with 

stories of first home buyers 

having to spend thousands on 

repairing their meth-contaminated 

homes. The remediation of 

meth-contaminated homes is 

not usually covered in residential 

insurance policies. For this reason 

it is becoming increasingly more 

common to have conditions in an 

agreement for sale and purchase 

for the carrying out of meth-testing. 

The “cooking” of 

Methamphetamine, a Class 

A controlled drug, in houses 

produces a toxic waste, which 

can contaminate the interior of 

a home. There are currently no 

agreed safe levels when measuring 

contamination in a home, but at 

present, a standards committee 

is working on developing a 

new standard which will cover 

the testing and remediation of 

contaminated houses. 

There are a number of protections 

for the unsuspecting purchaser. 

Although a vendor warrants in the 

fine print of an agreement for sale 

and purchase that they will declare 

if they have received any notice or 

requirement or have knowledge 

of any outstanding order from a 

council or other statutory body, 

including any tenant, such warranty 

does not extend to previous owners 

of the house. 

A real estate agent must disclose 

any known information and may 

be prosecuted if they don’t and 

continue to market a property with 

the knowledge that the property 

was used for the manufacture of 

methamphetamine. 

Landlords, agents and property 

managers also have statutory 

obligations under the Health Act 

and the Building Act to rectify any 

chemical hazards on a property 

they own, or act as agent for the 

owner. 

Even with these statutory 

protections, a purchaser may 

still be wise to carry out testing 

before going unconditional on 

their purchase. This is particularly 

so where a property is or has 

been a rental property, has been 

frequented by many different 

visitors, has high fences, security 

systems and curtains drawn during 

the day. Physical aspects of the 

property such as stained concrete 

surrounding drains, different 

ventilation systems, discoloration of 

benches and ceilings and corrosion 

of fittings around taps, sinks and 

stove tops, may also indicate 

contamination has occurred. 

If you are purchasing a new 

property, I would be happy to assist 

you in ensuring your agreement 

to purchase includes conditions 

to protect you. Each property 

is unique and each purchaser is 

unique. It is important that the 

conditions in an agreement for sale 

and purchase are drafted in a way 

that reflect your position.

MORE THAN 30 competitors 

will grab their kiteboards to 

ride the waves and wind at the 

16th Canterbury Kiteboarding 

Championship this weekend. 

Kiteboarders from around the 

South Island will brave the Avonhead 

Estuary to display their 

talent in the annual competition. 

The competition consists of 

two divisions – freestyle and 

foiling – where the kiteboarders 

will compete in four-man heats 

for 10 minutes at a time. They 

perform tricks and are judged on 

the power, height and technical 

difficulty and overall appearance 

of the trip. 

From each heat, two people go 

through to the final. 

Canterbury Windsport Association 

president Martin Harris 

said it was a great way to spend 

an afternoon, although it can be 

a bit cold. 

“It’s a cool sport to watch as 

you’re close to the action but it’s 

a cold sport to watch. People will 

need to bring a coat,” he said. 

The competition will run from 

about 2-6pm on Saturday and 

Sunday, but could change depending 

on the wind speed. 

Harris has competed in the 

competition for 10 years and said 

SPORTS 

Kiteboard championship 

rides into Avonhead 

AIR: Brad Wang, 17, will 

compete in the men’s 

division of the Canterbury 

Kiteboarding Championship. 

it will go ahead if the wind speed 

reaches 15knots, about 30km/h. 

Harris said there are men’s, 

women’s and under-18 categories. 

Everyone is welcome to enter on 

the day if they are a member of 

the Canterbury Windsport Association 

along with a $15 entry fee. 

Last year, Jackson Mills won 

the men’s title for the fifth time 

in a row and is looking for his 

sixth this year. Brad Wang won 

the under-18 men’s title and Ariana 

Smith won the women’s. 

Harris said if people came 

and watched, they would not be 

disappointed. 

Redcliffs’ mother wins 

ninth windsurfing title 


MERIVALE HOUSE of Travel 

owner Annie Crombie is 

revelling in her success after 

winning a national windsurfing 

championship for the ninth 

time. 

Crombie faced five other 

competitors and battled through 

10 rounds of races to finish with 

seven wins and three seconds on 

the clock, which secured her another 

Boardstore New Zealand 

Windsurfing Slalom Nationals 

title. 

She said the competition was 

tough and made her “puff a lot,” 

but it was the first time since 

she started windsurfing competitively 

that she did not have 

nerves before the race in spite of 

the strong competition. 

The 49-year-old has windsurfed 

for more than 25 years 

and started competing in 2007. 

The races were harder this 

year than they ever had been, 

Crombie said. 

She said 19-year-old Lyttelton 

resident Fenella Bowater raced 

alongside her and pushed her to 

her limits. Bowater won three of 

the races. 

The competitors this year were 

exceptional both on and off the 

water as they got along well inbetween 

races, often talking and 

having some fun, Crombie said. 

SUCCESS: Redcliffs’ mother Annie Crombie claimed her ninth 

national windsurfing title recently. 

In the under-20 women’s 

event, Bowater took first 

spot and another Lyttelton 

competitor, Meg Rennie, 15, was 

second. 

In the under-20 men’s event, 

former Christ’s College student 

Thomas O’Neill and current 

student Ben Davie took second 

and third. 

Terry Crombie, Annie’s 

husband, also competed in the 

men’s open and was winning 

for two days before Maui’s Peter 

John came from behind. 

Annie Crombie said windsurfing 

runs through her family’s 

genes. Her 15-year-old daughter, 

Kate, is also a keen windsurfer. 

Crombie said her family was 

incredibly proud of her and she 

was proud of herself as well. 

“I feel stoked, I feel proud. I 

raced at national level and it’s 

really satisfying to do.” 

She said the 10th title is in her 

sights but Bowater will not make 

it easy.
