awarded with honour
Paul Jolliffe was awarded
the French Legion of
Honour on Sunday
for the part he played
in the D-Day landing
operations in Normandy
during World War 2.
The Lyttelton resident
speaks with reporter Sarla
Donovan
PAUL JOLLIFFE was 15 years and
three months old when he joined
the British Navy.
Two years later, he was on the
bombardment ship HMS Emerald
off the shore of Normandy,
France, about to play his part in
the biggest amphibious invasion
in history – the D-Day landings.
The guns started firing at
5.30am on June 6, 1944.

FROM
THE
EDITOR’S
DESK News..................................... 3-11
PAUL JOLLIFFE was recognised
by the French at the weekend for
his part in the D-Day landings on
June 6, 1944.
On page 1 we report on Paul’s
memories of that day when he was
involved in the bombardment of
the German defences at Normandy.
With him during the interview
was his wife Ann, and there is a
nice little back story to how they
met – I’ll let you find out in the
article.
It’s great to see war veterans
continuing to get recognition. The
French are very good at remembering
those who helped drive enemies
from their country (Mururoa
and Rainbow Warrior aside).
Paul says he was just a small
cog in a very big (war) machine,
which is true. But without the Paul
Jolliffe’s of the war, the machine
wouldn’t have turned.

Skate ramp plan for old pub site
• By Sarla Donovan
SUMNER skateboarders are a
step closer to having their ramp
back.
On Monday, the Linwood-
Central-Heathcote Community
Board approved the former
Marine Tavern site at 26 Nayland
St as the new
home for the ramp,
subject to resource
consent.
The temporary
Megan
Carpenter
skate ramp at 36
Wakefield Ave
was shut down on
February 10 when
it failed to comply with the city
plan’s noise standards.
Debate over the new site,
which was proposed by city
council staff, lasted for 90min.
Most of those attending were
supporters of Sumner Green
and Skate Group, which has
been working with the city
council to find a place for the
ramp while plans for a more
permanent skate park structure
are put together.
Group member Charlotte
Hudson said Sumner youth
were becoming “increasingly
disillusioned and disappointed”
with the time it had taken to
find a suitable site.
“The closure of the last seven
SKATE RAMP: Sumner’s temporary skate ramp will go on
the site of the former Marine Tavern if resource consent is
approved.
months for them shows a lack
of urgency and (risks) a loss of
faith in the process from youth,”
she said.
Two deputations were made
against the site. Among them
was Glen Brown, whose mother
lives 100m away and is the closest
resident to the Nayland St
site.
Mr Brown said she was
worried about the noise from
skateboarders using the wooden
ramp.
The sound from the ramp was
intrusive at its original Village
Green site and Mr Brown feared
the new location would be even
louder, as noise could echo off
nearby cliffs, he said.
Sumner Re Treat Apartments
owner Roydon Smart was concerned
at the proximity to busy
Wakefield Ave.
He also suggested that in the
summer months, skateboarders
wouldn’t go home after
the ramp was locked at 9pm.
Instead, they were likely to use
the new Sumner Centre car park
opposite the site, he said. This
would create noise issues for
guests at the Sumner Bay Motel
behind the car park, he said.
City council parks recreation
planner Megan Carpenter said
as part of the resource consent,
the site would have to comply
with noise restrictions.
Community board member
Darrell Latham asked city
council staff to seek confirmation
around the safety of the
proposed site from the Christchurch
Road Policing manager.
Miss Carpenter said city
council staff could also investigate
installing a guard rail at
the edge of the half-pipe ramp to
ensure safety.
Heathcote Ward city councillor
Sara Templeton said it was
great to get the project moving
again.
In Brief
JETTY IDEAS WANTED
Ideas for the restoration of
the Governors Bay Jetty can
be submitted over the next
two weeks. A community
consultation event was held
on Sunday but the Jetty
Restoration Trust want to
hear from anybody unable to
make the event or with more
to say. The trust will compile
feedback before talking to key
stakeholders and drawing up
a brief with design engineers.
Email the trust at savethejetty@
gmail.com with your ideas for
the jetty.
SUMMIT RD FEEDBACK
Public consultation over
proposed traffic restrictions
on Summit Rd will close on
Friday. Anti-social road use
and vandalism have prompted
the city council to look at
restricting night time road
access to Summit Rd between
Rapaki and Gebbies Pass Rds
and Worsleys Rd. Proposed time
restrictions will prohibit vehicles
under 3500kg from 10pm-5am,
Thursday to Monday, and on
public holidays. The proposal
does not involve installing
physical barriers blocking access
to the road. Feedback can be
made at www.ccc.govt.nz and
closes on Friday at 4pm.

•From page 1
“I’ve never witnessed or heard
such a noise. Battleships and
rockets, everything that could
be fired was fired, Mr Jolliffe, 90,
recalled this week.
“Luckily we didn’t have to
communicate all that much – we
just got the orders and shouted
them out. It was highly organised.
We knew it was a big do.
But all we actually saw was the
plotting table.
“We had a bit of relief time
every now and then and popped
up on deck for a bit of fresh air.
There was a lot of debris and
there were bodies floating around
after the first day. After that first
period, the battleships really
did them in. It was Gold Beach
we were moored at, east of the
Americans at Omaha Beach.
“I didn’t feel scared. I was more
curious than anything.”
The junior seaman was downstairs
in the plotting room, using
data coming in from the spotter
planes to set the direction of the
guns.
Their job was to “shoot up the
Germans” so when the Allied
troops landed, they could get on
without too much bother.
“I was in a little compartment
down in the bowels of the ship.

it was a big do.’
The pair emigrated to
Christchurch in 1962 with their
two young sons, Geoffrey and
Nicholas, wanting to see some
other part of the world.
Mr Jolliffe worked at the National
Airways Corporation, which
later became Air Zealand. He and
Ann have lived in Lyttelton for the
past 38 years.
“I’m no hero,” Mr Jolliffe says,
reflecting on his medal. “I was
a small cog in a very big
machine.”
•On June 6, 1944, a huge
military machine embarked
on the invasion of Germanoccupied
France. Its target
was the coast of Normandy.
A vast armada of ships
carried more than 130,000
men. Ahead of them, planes
and gliders transported
another 23,000. This was
the biggest amphibious
landing in history, and its
aim was to end the war in
Europe and bring victory to
the Allies.
READY FOR ACTION: The HMS Emerald, a cruiser which carried
about 800 men.
•Over 425,000 Allied and
German troops were killed,
wounded or went missing
during the battle. This figure
includes over 209,000 Allied
casualties, with nearly
37,000 dead amongst the
ground forces and a further
16,714 deaths amongst
the Allied air forces.
•Paul Jolliffe was born in
Southhampton, England on
October 7, 1926.
•He enlisted with the
British forces on January 7,
1942, serving in the Royal
Navy during World War
2. He took part in naval
operations in south-east
Asia and north-west Europe,
including serving as part of
Operation Neptune on HMS
Emerald, a bombardment
ship for the D-Day landings.
•On Sunday, in his Lyttelton
home, he was awarded
the French Legion of Honour,
the highest award the
French Government can
bestow on a non-French
person, for the part he
played in D-Day. The Legion
of Honour is given to those
who have served France or
the ideas it upholds.
Permanent safety
barriers for Main Rd
• By Sarla Donovan
PERMANENT safety barriers at
the site of a fatal crash on Main

In March, Mt Pleasant resident
Maureen Imrie, 73, died
when the vehicle her husband
was driving slammed through a
wooden barrier near Shag Rock
and plunged into the sea.
The Bay Harbour News reported
on July 19 that it could
be February before permanent
safety barriers were installed.
Linwood-Central-Heathcote

Darrell Latham has now been
told by city council staff permanent
barriers will be going in
“promptly” with a completion
date anticipated before the end
of August.
The barriers are part of pipe
replacement work taking place
on Main Rd.
There have also been temporary
barriers erected at the site
in the past week.
Dr Latham said he was
pleased at the developments.
“This is a very busy transit

COUNCIL HEARING FOR
SCHOOL’S LAND SWAP
A city council hearing panel
on the proposed Redcliffs
Park and Redcliffs School
land swap will take place on
Monday. Public consultation
on the potential swap closed
in June and attracted 853
submissions. Of those, 71
per cent (602) were in favour
and 22 per cent (183) were
against. Seven per cent (60)
supported the proposal but
had some concerns. The
hearing panel will listen
to submitters at Monday’s

recommendation to the city

ANOTHER heritage landmark
is set to reopen in Lyttelton.
The Lyttelton Harbour Board
building, on the corner of
Norwich Quay and Oxford St
has undergone extensive renovations.
The building was damaged
in the February 22, 2011, earthquake.
The upper storey, including
the parapet and the roof, had
to be removed.
Brothers Aaron, Tim and
David Donaldson’s property
company Water Qual bought
the building in November 2010.
Though unaffected by the
September 4, 2010, earthquake,
the damage wrought on February
22, 2011, has cost $2 million
to fix.
Builders started work on the
restoration in January last year,
and two weeks ago the leasing
sign went up.
Aaron Donaldson said the top
floor office space was already
spoken for by “port support
entities” and there were several
parties interested in the ground
floor space – suited to hospitality,
offices retail.
“We are confident of getting
tenants, Lyttelton is highly
sought after.”
RESTORED: Aaron Donaldson’s property company Water Qual
bought the historic harbour building in November 2010. It has
been repaired after it was badly damaged in the February 22,
2011, earthquake.
A lot of effort had gone into retaining
heritage features, he said.
“We’ve kept the wooden features
in the interior and outside,
a lot of work’s gone into pinning
and supporting the historic brick
facade, putting up eyebrows and
moulding over the windows.”
Mr Donaldson said it was
guidance and support from city
council heritage officer Brendan
Smyth and a $333,548 city council
heritage grant that had made
the restoration feasible.
Although retaining historic
features while also meeting city
council compliance standards
had been a costly and at times
“almost impossible” task, Mr
Donaldson said they had developed
a “marvellous partnership”
with the city council.
“It’s a crying shame that
some make the effort to build
sympathetically while others
build monstrosities,” he said,
citing the new Lyttelton Primary
School as an example.
“I think any government
department should build sympathetically.
(The school rebuild)
would have been a prime opportunity
to complement the
heritage character of the area.”
The Lyttelton Harbour Board
occupied 5 Norwich Quay
from 1880 until 1962. During
that time, the ground floor had
a reading room for visiting
captains and the first floor contained
the board room.
After moving out in 1962, it
was used first for storage by the
railways before being renovated
in the mid-1980s for commercial
use. In the years immediately
prior to the February 22, 2011,
earthquake, it was home to a
cafe and offices.

NEW AMENITY:
Sumner’s new
community
centre and
library is set to
open on August
Celebrations planned for
community centre opening
• By Sarla Donovan
SUMNER’S NEW
community centre and
library will officially open
on August 19.
Celebrations begin at
1.30pm with the library
opening from 3pm.
The $10 million Matuku
Takotako: Sumner Centre
houses a library, meeting
room and community
room on the ground floor
and a hall, activity rooms,
kitchen and museum on
the first floor.
As of last week, 14 groups
had confirmed bookings
to use the spaces. These
included yoga and fitness
classes, music, writing and
photography workshops,
as well as social groups for
seniors, under-fives, children
and young people.
Lester Wolfreys, city
council head of community
support, governance and
partnership, said the number
of bookings had exceeded
expectations, given
the facility was still several
weeks from opening.
Costs for individuals
and groups to book the
community hall and stage
or the activity rooms range
from $10.50 per hour for
not-for-profit community
programmes, to $92 per
hour for commercial
events.
City council staff will
manage the centre for the
first six months to ensure
the building is operating as
expected, Mr Wolfreys said.
“(We need) to understand
the dynamics
between different users and
how they’re using the facilities.
This will inform the
most appropriate partnership
management model.”
A 20-space car park is
being built behind the
centre on Nayland St.

Conservationist calls for
the protection of gullies
Richard
Suggate,
chairman of
the Diamond
Harbour
Community
Association, writes
about a recent Bay
Harbour News story
on the review of city
council-owned land
on Banks Peninsula
• By Sarla Donovan
NUMBERS OF titi, or
sooty shearwater, continue
to rise on Banks Peninsula.
The efforts of the Banks
Peninsula Conservation
Trust have seen numbers
of nesting adults double in
just a few years.
In 2010, there were 27
adult pairs nesting. Now
that figure is up to 50,
thanks in large part to a
predator-proof fence.
Formed in 2001, the trust
arose out of a project called
Wildside, which was set
up by farmer Mark Armstrong
25 years ago.
There was only one pair
of titi left in Canterbury
in 1995, so Mr Armstrong
built a chicken wire fence
around the remaining two
birds and also established
a dense defence of predator
traps.
This was enough to
ensure the pair’s survival
and six years later the first
chick fledged.
By 2009, there were 21
adult pairs nesting and
The article on July 19
refers to the city council
consulting with the Banks
Peninsula Community
Board on the sale of city
council freehold land in
Diamond Harbour. The
most significant area is the
land between the existing
housing and Bay View Rd,
between Te Papau Cres and
Hunters Rd.
This 38ha block was
bought many years ago by
an earlier city council to
provide land for housing.
In recent years, a group of
local conservationists have
started a native plant restoration
programme in two
of the gullies that bisect the
property (Morgan’s and
Sam’s). The restoration in
Morgan’s Gully has been
supported by an Environment
Canterbury Immediate
Steps grant. In addition,
the local community has
built a path linking Waipapa
Ave and Diamond
Harbour School to provide
off-road access behind the
township.
During the District Plan
process, the Diamond
Harbour Community Association
and Paula Smith
unsuccessfully sought the
protection of the three
gullies that run through
the area.
The hearing panel rejected
initial submissions
because they were lodged
at the ‘wrong’ stage in the
process. A subsequent proposal
backed by city council
planners for the three
gullies to be reserved from
housing in any subdivision
was also rejected by the
panel. Direct approaches
to the city council for the
gullies to be reserved were
rejected by the property
section, as it would reduce
the value of any sale of the
land.
The community would
like assurances from the
city council that any sale of
the land results in the three
gullies being reserved, and
one chick fledging. The
following year, 27 adult
that the walking access
which has been created
will be retained in public
ownership. There are many
other matters that also
need to be considered,
including roading access,
provision of amenities and
services, and the current
use of the land for back access
to existing properties.
A careful and thorough
community consultation
process is required.
The current valuation of
$1.4 million is well below
its (goldmine) market
value. Considering the
number of sections that
can be created from the
land, it would be shortterm
folly for it to be
disposed to one developer
who, over many years, can
make a fortune from its
subdivision and sale. The
city council would achieve
greater return on its asset if
it sells it over time in three
distinct blocks (the three
ridges) as demand grows
for additional housing.
As for the use of funds
from any sale, it would be
good to see them committed
to purchasing key
pieces of coastal land in the
harbour basin to improve
public access to beaches,
or spent on providing for a
community facility on the
Godley House site.

Banks Peninsula’s volcanic soil
They may be small,
but Banks Peninsula
vineyards are starting
to show they can
match it with the
big players. Bridget
Rutherford reports
TUCKED INTO the hillside in
Charteris Bay is a little vineyard
– a vineyard that’s making a
name for itself.
But it’s not the only one.
What started as a hobby has
turned into success for Neil
and Jill Pattinson, with their
vineyard Whistling Buoy taking
out the top award at this year’s
Wines of Canterbury awards.
Their Whistling Buoy Kokolo
Pinot Noir 2015 won the game
trophy and a gold medal.
It was later named champion
wine.
Its Kokolo Chardonnay 2015
and Kokolo Pinot Noir 2016 also
earned bronze medals.
Dr Pattinson, who is president
of Wines of Canterbury, said
there are four main vineyards
that sit within the craters of
Lyttelton and Akaroa harbours –
and all were proving their worth.
He said Banks Peninsula was
an emerging sub-wine region.
But he said it was a given
the area should produce nice
wines – the very earliest plantings
in New Zealand were in
Akaroa in 1840 when the French
settlers arrived.
“What’s unique about Banks
Peninsula is the soils, the aspect,
particularly north-facing
slopes and basically being close
to large bodies of water being
Akaroa and Lyttelton harbours,
which help mitigate the ultraextremes.”
He said the sea air didn’t seem
to have any impact on the wine
and they rarely suffered frosts.

and Neil Pattinson prune the

Akaroa’s Meniscus Wines had
success at the same awards.
For the second year in a row,
its 2015 pinot noir won the best
pairing wine with lamb and got a
silver medal. Its 2016 riesling and
2016 pinot noir also got bronze
medals.
Owner David Epstein said they
were thrilled, especially with the
lamb trophy.
He said Banks Peninsula wines
had certain characteristics that
were starting to be recognised.
“It just shows there must be
something special in the terroir
here in the ground that is very
good for the grapes and the
growth,” he said.
“The volcanic soil that exists
here from years back is giving a
special character.”
They produce pinot noir,
riesling and pinot gris from the
vines on the 2.4ha block which
sits on the south edge of Akaroa.
They make between 4000-6000
bottles each year.
Mr Epstein said all the grapes
are picked by hand before being
sent to Waipara to be produced.
Major upgrade to Russley Road/Memorial Avenue intersection
The Russley Road/Memorial Avenue temporary roundabout will be removed
in early August and replaced with a new intersection with traffic lights.
EXPECT
DELAYS
4-6 AUG
The permanent change means traffic will be able to
travel to and from Christchurch International
Airport, under the new Gateway Bridge, for the first
time. It will also allow the project team to complete
the new road on top of the bridge, bringing them a
step closer to completing the upgrade.
New road signage
People travelling through the intersection will
need to pay close attention to the new signage
to ensure their vehicle is in the right lane.
Please be courteous to other drivers who will
also be getting used to the change.
Lengthy delays at Russley Road/Memorial Avenue intersection
While this is an exciting milestone there will be delays
of up to 20 minutes while the changes take place on
4-6 August.

makes for great winemaking
He and his wife Gay bought
the vineyard, formerly known
as Vanstone Estate, and Crater
Rim, at the end of 2008 and
moved over from Australia.
Previously, it was owned by
Akaroa businessman Graham
Vanstone, who disappeared
without a trace in September
1999, before his first vintage was
picked.
After his disappearance, Mr
Vanstone’s family rallied to
produce Vanstone Estate’s wine
before leasing the vineyard. They
then sold to the Epsteins.
Mr Vanstone was never found.
Police say his missing person file
has been referred to the coroner,
who will make a ruling on his
death.
“It’s just one of the mysteries of
SPECTACULAR:
At Whistling
Buoy, sheep

the grass and
leaves, while
Meniscus Wines
looks out over
Akaroa Harbour.
Akaroa,” Mr Epstein said.
The Epsteins also run a tasting
lounge for their wines on Rue
Lavaud, but come October, they
will open it on site at Meniscus.
He hoped Banks Peninsula
would become recognised as a
fine wine growing area.
The Pattinsons planted grapes
into their 2023 sq m Charteris
Bay property in the early 2000s.
They went for the pinot noir
vines to match the clay-based
soil.
The name, Whistling Buoy,
was derived from the marker
buoy that used to direct vessels
into Lyttelton Harbour.
Dr Pattinson said originally it
was a hobby, but when they produced
their first vintage in 2005
and 2006, they knew they were
onto something.
So when a neighbouring property,
Kokolo, came up for sale at
Teddington about four and a half
years ago, they decided to buy it.
The 4ha site was already planted
with pinot noir, chardonnay,
and pinot meunier grapes, which
produced wine that was exported
to Japanese restaurant chains.
Dr Pattinson said they ripped
out the pinot meunier vines to
focus on the other two.
The pinot noir grapes at
Kokolo are also used to produce
Whistling Buoy’s rose.
All the grapes are sent to Greystone
Wines in Waipara to be
produced, but Dr Pattinson said
they had a lot of input into the
winemaking process.
Because of the sloping hills
the vines are planted on, and the
small distance between each,
everything is done by hand –
with a little aid.
Their next door neighbour,
Speaker of the House David
Carter, often brought his sheep
into the vineyard during leaf
plucking to maintain the grass
and leaves.
Whistling Buoy viticulturist
Cliff Wood is into his fourth
season at Whistling Buoy. Last
week, he was out pruning and
tying down the vines before they
begin to grow again.
“It’s pretty labour intensive.”
Dr Pattinson said they knew
the 2015 pinot noir had all the
right elements – warm weather,
low disease pressure, good
vineyard management and good
fruit.
“This particular wine’s had 10
months on oak and there’s new
oak in that not just old oak.”
But this year they weren’t so
lucky.
They didn’t harvest because
it was too wet for the grapes to
ripen.
“So in the end, we just had to
walk away from it, which is quite
a big hit.”
But it won’t hamper the wine
stocks at supermarkets and local
restaurants.
“We’ve got the 2015 and the
2016 has just been released, so
we’ve still got plenty of wine.
I’d need to sell three cases of
wine a day to sell what we produce.”

Neil Pattinson
Making good wine a labour of love
Neil Pattinson and his wife Jill planted grapes on their
Charteris Bay property to see if they could make nice
wine. Now, more than 10 years on, Bridget Rutherford
speaks to him about producing award-winning wines
under the Whistling Buoy label
Whistling Buoy’s 2015 pinot
noir was named champion wine
at the Wines of Canterbury
awards. Were you expecting it?
Of course (laughs). I’m very
pleasantly surprised, we knew it
was a good wine. I was absolutely
thrilled we got a gold medal,
then actually won best match
with game so, to me, that was
reward enough. But to actually
then be named champion wine
of the competition at the very
end, that’s just the icing on the
cake.
What do you think made this
wine so good?
I think it’s a vintage, so it was a
really good year and the disease
pressure was relatively low. It was
also warm so it had all the right
elements. Obviously, you’ve still
got to put in a lot of viticulture
to manage the site. You’ve got to
get good air flow and good light
penetration. So I think it was
good vineyard management, it
was a good vintage, and then
taking really good fruit and
turning it into really exquisite pinot
noir. It’s all the elements that
make a really good wine. Our
winemaking is done up at Greystone
in Waipara, so we don’t
do it on site. So at harvest point,
it’s shipped up to Greystone. But
we do have lots of input on the
style we want and the amount of
oak and oak exposure and that
comes to the sorting of the fruit
and the whole process. It’s not
hands-off. This particular wine
has had 10 months on oak and
there’s new oak in that not just
old oak.
It’s the second year a wine
from Banks Peninsula has
taken out the award, isn’t it?
We got second last year.
Meniscus Wines in Akaroa were
the top pinot noir. The three top
pinot noirs got the top three in
that category – there was Meniscus,
Tussock Hill and ourselves.
Ours was the top chardonnay
last year. I think that’s the thing
about the peninsula, because
it’s on clay-based soil and pinot
noir does particularly well and
chardonnay grape does as well. If
you’re going to pick wine varieties
Banks Peninsula exemplifies,
it would be pinot noir, pinot gris
and chardonnay.
And being so close to the
water in Lyttelton Harbour, do
you still get any frosts?
We do right in the middle
of winter, but not during the
important growing season or the
early start to the year. In places
like Waipara and central plains,
you’ve got to have frost protection
and we don’t have to bother
with that. We have planted in
that French-style, the spaces
between vines and rows are quite
small. So it does mean it’s very
hard to mechanise and also we’re
on sloping sites, everything’s
SUCCESS:

done by hand. So part of that
is you’re in the vineyard all the
time, you’re constantly monitoring,
you’re constantly tuning, so
it’s a bit labour intensive, but it
means that labour of love transforms
into really good quality
fruit.

‘You don’t want to be so large you lose your focus’
•From page 13
What were you doing before
you decided to put grapes in?
I’m a clinical biochemist by
training, so I worked at the
hospital for about 14 years. Ivan
Donaldson was starting up
Pegasus Bay at the time, I also
worked with a gastroenterologist
– Bruce Chapman – and they
own Terrace Edge; they put in
some olives and grapes later on.
So every medical conference
you go to – a lot are overseas
in beautiful places like France,
Switzerland and Germany – then
obviously part in parcel with
that are the evening dinners and
concerts and, of course, they’re
all served with beautiful wine.
You couldn’t not have an interest
in wine.
When did you decide to put in
grapes?
We had about 2ha of land at
Charteris Bay and we had sheep.
We’d gone through the typical
lifestyle block, so we started with
sheep, then we had a goat, and
our daughter had a pony. Then I
thought, why not put vines in?
Did you ever think you would
get to this point where you have
award-winning wines?
Yes and no. The initial reality
was just: Can we grow some good
grapes and produce good wine,
mainly for our own consumption
LOCAL: The grapes for Whistling Buoy’s awardwinning
2015 pinot noir were grown at the Kokolo
site, which overlooks Lyttelton Harbour.
and friends and family? But
certainly, when you produce wine
you want it to be really good,
you don’t want people thinking,
oh, Neil’s bringing out his home
brew again. I didn’t want to
make rubbish wine, we did at
that time contract a really good
winemaker – Grant Whelan
from Kaituna Valley. So basically,
it was good grapes and a really
good winemaker and the rest is
history.
What do your kids do?
Tony is in Coolangatta (Gold
Coast). He’s just set up a pizzeria.
He’s been over there for six
or seven years.
He started off in
Tasmania with a
restaurant called
Restaurant Red,
then he came to
Brisbane and met his partner
and now they’re in Coolangatta.
They are going to have our wine
at the restaurant. Our daughter
Kate is trained as a teacher, and
she’s working at Manuwera
Institute of Technology as a
departmental manager. And our
other son Chris is a winemaker.
He’s now working for Sherwood
Estate in Waipara, I’m wanting
him to take
charge of the half
acre.
So before you
turned your focus
to Whistling Buoy,
where else had you
been working?
After the
hospital, I joined
a biotechnology
company called
Life Technologies,
then I became
chief executive
of Canterbury
Scientific. I resigned
from that a year
ago to focus on
building the brand
and establishing a sales
network for Whistling
Buoy. But I chair the
board of a start up
biotech company called
AuramerBio out of Victoria
University. And I’ve been
doing some consulting work
at Canterbury University for
the Canterbury Development
Corp. I’m just about to start a
job at ChristchurchNZ as its
senior adviser of innovation and
commercialisation.
You mentioned everything is
done by hand. Do you have a bit
of help to pick the grapes?
It’s a social occasion. Here at
Kokolo, the picking, it’s three
consecutive days. We have about
25 people and we fill about 10 big
400kg bins.
I hear your wife Jill does a lot
of maintenance around here?
She has her own mower, she
gets upset if I jump on it. But we
do use sheep up on the vineyard,
I do use the mulching mower, but
we have sheep as well.
Do the sheep damage the
vines at all?
You’ve got to be careful. There’s
nothing on the vines at the
moment so they’ll just chew up
the grass. But during the season,
you don’t want them on bud set,
the only time you really bring
them in is when you want to leaf
pluck so when you’ve got fruit
set, but the berries are really hard
and green. The leaves are green
they will probably have a crack
at one or two bunches but they’ll
think that’s rubbish.
Do you hope to expand
Whistling Buoy?
If we can successfully establish
the brand and get a really good
route to market then, yes, it
would certainly be quite nice
to build it. But there’s a balance
there, too, you don’t want to be so
large you lose your focus. Being
boutique is good.

Nel plans to make it in red and black
From metro
MVP to
Mitre 10 Cup
• By Gordon Findlater
SUMNER’S DYLAN Nel will
now turn his attention to proving
himself in a red and black jersey
after dominating in the division
one metro competition.
Nel, 25, not only won this
year’s MVP medal race, he
completely dominated it,
winning by the largest margin
in the award’s history. The South
African No 8 finished with 27
points, 11 ahead of University No
8 Brad Hemopo in second.
The Sumner player also
finished as the leading try scorer
in the competition with 16, four
more than any other player.
“It’s all guns blazing, the
body’s feeling good. I just want
to take the momentum from the
club season into the Mitre 10
Cup,” said Nel.
Nel is expected to be part of
the Canterbury squad which
will defend the Ranfurly Shield
against Mid-Canterbury in
Ashburton on Friday. He started
at No 8 and scored a try for
Canterbury in their 71-5 win
over Wanganui at AMI Stadium
in June.
He has already been part of
the Crusaders environment
after being called into the
squad earlier this year as injury
replacement for Kieran Read.
His long term goal is to secure
a permanent position in the top
flight, something he would like
to do in his adopted home, rather
than in South Africa.
“Definitely the Crusaders,
one hundred percent. The
environment in that team is
amazing,” said Nel.
While has Nel captured plenty
of personal accolades, his club
were unlucky not to finish the
season with silverware.
A penalty kick on full-time
was the only thing which
separated Sumner from New
Brighton in their 17-19 plate final
loss at Rawhiti Domain.
New Brighton held a 16-10
advantage late in the game before
a drama-filled final five minutes.
“We ended up going down
their end and getting a penalty
try to go a point ahead with only
a couple of minutes left,” said
Sumner coach Martin Dodgson.
“They kicked off, we tried to
hold on to the ball in our own
half and then we conceded a
penalty. The guy slotted it and
that was full-time.”
Dodgson described the
team’s overall play as a one of
their poorer days at the office.
However, with their two tries
being penalty tries, there was one
highlight for Sumner.
“Our scrum was phenomenal,”
SPORTS
NEXT STEP: Dylan Nel earned his second cap for Canterbury last month and is hopeful of becoming a regular in this year’s Mitre
10 Cup squad. Sumner first-five Nik Cumming (right) also had a great club season as the metro competition’s second highest point
scorer with 151.
PHOTOS: MARTIN HUNTER AND ROZELLE MAY
said Dodgson.
The usually robust New
Brighton pack was dominated
throughout, resulting in referee
Blair Barclay awarding the two
penalty tries at scrum time.
Like his team, Sumner first-five
Nik Cumming came within a
whisker of a season to remember,
finishing second in the leading
points scorer race with 151. He
finished just one point behind
Christchurch’s Dan Dorgan.

Both Tim Wraight and Ché Vincent live in the Motueka region in the top of the
South Island, an area of diverse landscapes and environments from which to
draw inspiration for their work.
Tim’s carved wooden work for ‘Changing Stories’ exhibition explores the
traditions associated with the reverence given to relics and remains, using
the cultural practices of making intricate containers that different cultures
fashion to hold these precious objects, Maori wakahuia (treasure boxes)
and wakatupapaku (bone boxes) and European reliquaries which held the
bones of saints, are the starting point for these pieces. Found remains of
creatures and objects from the natural environment in his home area. Tim
has constructed stories around fictional and whimsical; taking an object and
giving it a new narrative and honouring its previous existence.
Ché’s work for this exhibition is formed by his
passion for botany and natural processes;
exploring the patterns created by plant forms
by the way water changes and repeats a flow
pattern by decay and renewal. He uses recycled
copper panels through a process of serendipitous
experimentation. Ché has developed a fluid and
intuitive approach and has developed methods of

Experience expert
dental care
Six fabulous years and still going strong!
The team of Fendalton Dental Surgery
takes this opportunity to thank their
loyal patients, the supportive Canterbury
dental fraternity and the wonderful local
community. They celebrate yet another
glorious anniversary after being forced
to relocate to this premises after the
earthquakes in 2011. It used to be called
Cambridge Dental Surgery while they
were in the CBD but since moving to this
lovely Fendalton suburb in July 2011.
Fendalton Dental Surgery, on the
high profile corner of Idris & Glandovey
Roads has been looking after the dental
needs of the local community as well
as the wider Christchurch area since
2011. Dentists Keith Chiang and Zohnia
McNeill and Oral Health Therapist, Amy
Lee offer a complete range of dental
and oral care services, all in a very calm
and relaxed environment. Supporting
them are dental nurses Simone and Jola
and the ever-efficient highly organised
practice manager, Aysha who bring with
them their very own style and range of
competencies in each and every aspect.
“We listen carefully to what our patients
tell us so we can address each of their
dental problems and help them achieve
good oral health,” says Keith.
A major component of Keith’s work
is under IV sedation, which is available
for people that are very nervous about
visiting the dentist. He has performed
more than 2000 Intravenous sedation
procedures and the clinic is equipped
with the latest advanced equipment for
sedation monitoring. He has a special
interest in Oral Surgery, Impacted
wisdom teeth, surgical extractions,
Placement of Implants and Intra venous
sedation.
For people with damaged or missing
teeth, Zohnia will discuss with them the
options of having crowns, permanent
implants or dentures fitted, all of which
have the added advantage of helping
clients regain their functional bite as
well as improve their smile and overall
confidence. She has a special interest in
Cosmetic dentistry, Root Canals and
Geriatric dentistry. Her calm approach
and special individual attention to detail
has helped deal with most common dental
issues in her patients.
Amy Lee, our Oral Therapist and
Hygienist specialises in the overall
maintenance of healthy teeth and gums.
She educates her patients on how to look
The team at Fendalton Dental Surgery
after their oral health, which if not taken
care of can have detrimental effects on
their overall health. The gum disease,
Gingivitis is one of the main reasons
why people lose their teeth and can be
a social stigma with bad breath, while
research also indicates that gum disease
or otherwise called Gingivitis in pregnant
women can mean a higher chance of
premature birth and low birth weight.
Dry mouth or reduced salivary flow,
which is caused by certain medications
that people take can also lead to gum
problems and tooth decay. By visiting the
hygienist regularly, gum problems can be
prevented, and consequently tooth decay
as well as more serious health issues can
be avoided.
Fendalton Dental Surgery will soon add
to its suite of advanced dental equipment
with a state-of-the-art 3D CT scanner,
which will be used to scan jaws, enabling
the dentists to give a better diagnosis of
clients’ dental problems.
The Fendalton Dental Team invites
you and new patients to visit their
practice and experience Expert Care as
being one of their valued patients. Easily
accessible, highly visible and with plenty
of on-site parking, Fendalton Dental
Surgery, on the corner of Glandovey and
Idris road, is open Monday to Friday
8.30am-5pm. Phone 351 1188 for an
appointment, or simply call in.

THE RYMAN HEALTHCARE SEASON OF

A NEW BALLET

ARTISTIC DIRECTOR: PATRICIA BARKER
FALL IN LOVE
THIS WINTER
WITH THE ROYAL
NEW ZEALAND
BALLET’S
W O R L D
PREMIERE OF
R O M E O A N D
JULIET
A sunlit piazza, the candlelit corner of
a noble ballroom, a moonlit balcony…
when young lovers meet, the world is
stilled… then changed forever.
Italian choreographer Francesco Ventriglia creates
a new production of Shakespeare’s great love story,
especially for the Royal New Zealand Ballet. This
brand new ballet, with exquisite sets and costumes
by Oscar-winning designer James Acheson (The Last
Emperor, Dangerous Liaisons) brings to life all of
the splendour and seduction of Renaissance Verona,
swept up in Prokofiev’s exhilarating, passionate
score. Join us as we follow the Montagues and
Capulets in Shakespeare’s original tale of two starcrossed
lovers though desire, struggle and tragedy.
Sure to be the highlight of the 2017 arts calendar
this is a production not to be missed.

ACCOMPANIED BY THE CSO
The RNZB is absolutely thrilled to have the musicians
of the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra joining
us once again for our Christchurch performances.
Christchurch born Hamish McKeich will conduct as
the CSO brings Prokofiev’s beautiful ballet score
to life, filling the Isaac Theatre Royal with the
unbeatable sound of live orchestral music.
Choreographer Francesco Ventriglia, dancer Madeleine
Graham and Leading Guest Artist Sir Jon Trimmer at
Ryman Healthcare’s Anthony Wilding village.
Ryman Healthcare is thrilled to once again
be associated with the creation of a major
production for the Royal New Zealand Ballet.
Ryman Chief Executive Gordon MacLeod said
residents and staff were planning a whole
lot of Romeo and Juliet-themed events to
celebrate the season.
“We’re delighted to be able to support the
RNZB’s production of Romeo and Juliet. We
think our residents – and the rest of New
Zealand – are in for a real treat. Our ballet
company is a national treasure and it is a
pleasure to be able to support the company
as they take their performance nationwide.’’
Mr MacLeod said staff at Ryman’s 30 villages
had a whole lot of events lined up to make
sure everyone gets into the swing of things.
Activities planned include balcony decorating
competitions, a grand masquerade ball in
the style of the Capulet house, Shakespeare
quizzes and residents would be encouraged
to recount their own memories of young
romance.
As part of the partnership with RNZB
members of the company visit Ryman’s
villages to meet residents unable to get out
to the performances.
“Romeo and Juliet is doubly exciting because
Madeleine Graham – who we have sponsored
for a number of years – is dancing the role of
Juliet! We feel like she’s part of the family.’’
