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

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

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

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

Permanent safety<br />
barriers for Main Rd<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
PERMANENT safety barriers at<br />
the site of a fatal crash on Main<br />
Rd will be installed by the end of<br />
the month.<br />
In March, Mt Pleasant resident<br />
Maureen Imrie, 73, died<br />
when the vehicle her husband<br />
was driving slammed through a<br />
wooden barrier near Shag Rock<br />
and plunged into the sea.<br />
The <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News reported<br />
on July 19 that it could<br />
be February before permanent<br />
safety barriers were installed.<br />
Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />
Community Board member<br />
Darrell Latham has now been<br />
told by city council staff permanent<br />
barriers will be going in<br />
“promptly” with a completion<br />
date anticipated before the end<br />
of <strong>August</strong>.<br />
The barriers are part of pipe<br />
replacement work taking place<br />
on Main Rd.<br />
There have also been temporary<br />
barriers erected at the site<br />
in the past week.<br />
Dr Latham said he was<br />
pleased at the developments.<br />
“This is a very busy transit<br />
area for both vehicles, cyclists<br />
and pedestrians and while there<br />
are some site and construction<br />
SAFETY: Temporary safety<br />
barriers have gone up at the<br />
site of a fatal crash on Main<br />
Rd, Sumner. Permanent<br />
barriers will be installed by<br />
the end of <strong>August</strong>. <br />
challenges along this section of<br />
road, public safety has to be our<br />
number one priority.”<br />
Aaron Haymes, city council<br />
transport operations manager<br />
said they would put further<br />
temporary barriers in place on<br />
the city side of Shag Rock corner<br />
“wherever practicable” as the<br />
works along Main Rd progress.<br />

Landmark building to reopen<br />
COUNCIL HEARING FOR<br />
SCHOOL’S LAND SWAP<br />
A city council hearing panel<br />
on the proposed Redcliffs<br />
Park and Redcliffs School<br />
land swap will take place on<br />
Monday. Public consultation<br />
on the potential swap closed<br />
in June and attracted 853<br />
submissions. Of those, 71<br />
per cent (6<strong>02</strong>) were in favour<br />
and 22 per cent (183) were<br />
against. Seven per cent (60)<br />
supported the proposal but<br />
had some concerns. The<br />
hearing panel will listen<br />
to submitters at Monday’s<br />
meeting before making a<br />
recommendation to the city<br />
council.<br />
NEW CAFE TO OPEN IN<br />
ORTON BRADLEY PARK<br />
A new-look cafe will open<br />
at Orton Bradley Park in<br />
October, replacing the former<br />
Victorian-themed tea rooms<br />
which closed over summer.<br />
Co-managers Maria Lee<br />
and Ursina Riederer say<br />
they plan on using locally<br />
grown produce. They want to<br />
engage children at Diamond<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> School and local<br />
residents in growing food<br />
for the cafe, which will serve<br />
“innovative, wholesome<br />
food,” Ms Lee said.<br />

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

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

Conservationist calls for<br />
the protection of gullies<br />
Richard<br />
Suggate,<br />
chairman of<br />
the Diamond<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong><br />
Community<br />
Association, writes<br />
about a recent <strong>Bay</strong><br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> News story<br />
on the review of city<br />
council-owned land<br />
on Banks Peninsula<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
NUMBERS OF titi, or<br />
sooty shearwater, continue<br />
to rise on Banks Peninsula.<br />
The efforts of the Banks<br />
Peninsula Conservation<br />
Trust have seen numbers<br />
of nesting adults double in<br />
just a few years.<br />
In 2010, there were 27<br />
adult pairs nesting. Now<br />
that figure is up to 50,<br />
thanks in large part to a<br />
predator-proof fence.<br />
Formed in 2001, the trust<br />
arose out of a project called<br />
Wildside, which was set<br />
up by farmer Mark Armstrong<br />
25 years ago.<br />
There was only one pair<br />
of titi left in Canterbury<br />
in 1995, so Mr Armstrong<br />
built a chicken wire fence<br />
around the remaining two<br />
birds and also established<br />
a dense defence of predator<br />
traps.<br />
This was enough to<br />
ensure the pair’s survival<br />
and six years later the first<br />
chick fledged.<br />
By 2009, there were 21<br />
adult pairs nesting and<br />
The article on July 19<br />
refers to the city council<br />
consulting with the Banks<br />
Peninsula Community<br />
Board on the sale of city<br />
council freehold land in<br />
Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong>. The<br />
most significant area is the<br />
land between the existing<br />
housing and <strong>Bay</strong> View Rd,<br />
between Te Papau Cres and<br />
Hunters Rd.<br />
This 38ha block was<br />
bought many years ago by<br />
an earlier city council to<br />
provide land for housing.<br />
In recent years, a group of<br />
local conservationists have<br />
started a native plant restoration<br />
programme in two<br />
of the gullies that bisect the<br />
property (Morgan’s and<br />
Sam’s). The restoration in<br />
Morgan’s Gully has been<br />
supported by an Environment<br />
Canterbury Immediate<br />
Steps grant. In addition,<br />
the local community has<br />
built a path linking Waipapa<br />
Ave and Diamond<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> School to provide<br />
off-road access behind the<br />
township.<br />
During the District Plan<br />
process, the Diamond<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> Community Association<br />
and Paula Smith<br />
unsuccessfully sought the<br />
protection of the three<br />
gullies that run through<br />
the area.<br />
The hearing panel rejected<br />
initial submissions<br />
because they were lodged<br />
at the ‘wrong’ stage in the<br />
process. A subsequent proposal<br />
backed by city council<br />
planners for the three<br />
gullies to be reserved from<br />
housing in any subdivision<br />
was also rejected by the<br />
panel. Direct approaches<br />
to the city council for the<br />
gullies to be reserved were<br />
rejected by the property<br />
section, as it would reduce<br />
the value of any sale of the<br />
land.<br />
The community would<br />
like assurances from the<br />
city council that any sale of<br />
the land results in the three<br />
gullies being reserved, and<br />
one chick fledging. The<br />
following year, 27 adult<br />
that the walking access<br />
which has been created<br />
will be retained in public<br />
ownership. There are many<br />
other matters that also<br />
need to be considered,<br />
including roading access,<br />
provision of amenities and<br />
services, and the current<br />
use of the land for back access<br />
to existing properties.<br />
A careful and thorough<br />
community consultation<br />
process is required.<br />
The current valuation of<br />
$1.4 million is well below<br />
its (goldmine) market<br />
value. Considering the<br />
number of sections that<br />
can be created from the<br />
land, it would be shortterm<br />
folly for it to be<br />
disposed to one developer<br />
who, over many years, can<br />
make a fortune from its<br />
subdivision and sale. The<br />
city council would achieve<br />
greater return on its asset if<br />
it sells it over time in three<br />
distinct blocks (the three<br />
ridges) as demand grows<br />
for additional housing.<br />
As for the use of funds<br />
from any sale, it would be<br />
good to see them committed<br />
to purchasing key<br />
pieces of coastal land in the<br />
harbour basin to improve<br />
public access to beaches,<br />
or spent on providing for a<br />
community facility on the<br />
Godley House site.<br />
Titi population on the rise<br />
CHICK:<br />
A sooty<br />
shearwater<br />
chick just<br />
about to<br />
fledge. A<br />
300m-long<br />
fence is<br />
helping the<br />
recovery<br />
of their<br />
numbers<br />
on Banks<br />
Peninsula.<br />
pairs nested with 20 chicks<br />
fledging.

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

and Neil Pattinson prune the<br />

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

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

At Whistling<br />

are used to<br />
help maintain<br />

leaves, while<br />

looks out over<br />
Akaroa <strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />
Akaroa,” Mr Epstein said.<br />
The Epsteins also run a tasting<br />
lounge for their wines on Rue<br />
Lavaud, but come October, they<br />
will open it on site at Meniscus.<br />
He hoped Banks Peninsula<br />
would become recognised as a<br />
fine wine growing area.<br />
The Pattinsons planted grapes<br />
into their 2<strong>02</strong>3 sq m Charteris<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> property in the early 2000s.<br />
They went for the pinot noir<br />
vines to match the clay-based<br />
soil.<br />

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

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

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

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

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

- Changing STorieS -<br />
Both Tim Wraight and Ché Vincent live in the Motueka region in the top of the<br />
South Island, an area of diverse landscapes and environments from which to<br />
draw inspiration for their work.<br />
Tim’s carved wooden work for ‘Changing Stories’ exhibition explores the<br />
traditions associated with the reverence given to relics and remains, using<br />
the cultural practices of making intricate containers that different cultures<br />
fashion to hold these precious objects, Maori wakahuia (treasure boxes)<br />
and wakatupapaku (bone boxes) and European reliquaries which held the<br />
bones of saints, are the starting point for these pieces. Found remains of<br />
creatures and objects from the natural environment in his home area. Tim<br />
has constructed stories around fictional and whimsical; taking an object and<br />
giving it a new narrative and honouring its previous existence.<br />
Ché’s work for this exhibition is formed by his<br />
passion for botany and natural processes;<br />
exploring the patterns created by plant forms<br />
by the way water changes and repeats a flow<br />
pattern by decay and renewal. He uses recycled<br />
copper panels through a process of serendipitous<br />
experimentation. Ché has developed a fluid and<br />
intuitive approach and has developed methods of<br />
‘Edges’ by Ché Vincent from the<br />
exhibition ‘Changing Stories’ at<br />
Little River Gallery from <strong>August</strong> 5th<br />
melting, beating, bending, and fusing copper into organic forms. Copper is a lovely<br />
metal to work with; malleable and enduring with a beautiful cast of warm colours.<br />

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

THE RYMAN HEALTHCARE SEASON OF<br />
Juliet<br />
A NEW BALLET<br />
by Francesco Ventriglia<br />
Isaac Theatre Royal<br />
25 – 26 <strong>August</strong><br />
ARTISTIC DIRECTOR: PATRICIA BARKER
FALL IN LOVE<br />
THIS WINTER<br />
WITH THE ROYAL<br />
NEW ZEALAND<br />
BALLET’S<br />
W O R L D<br />
PREMIERE OF<br />
R O M E O A N D<br />
JULIET<br />
A sunlit piazza, the candlelit corner of<br />
a noble ballroom, a moonlit balcony…<br />
when young lovers meet, the world is<br />
stilled… then changed forever.<br />
Italian choreographer Francesco Ventriglia creates<br />
a new production of Shakespeare’s great love story,<br />
especially for the Royal New Zealand Ballet. This<br />
brand new ballet, with exquisite sets and costumes<br />
by Oscar-winning designer James Acheson (The Last<br />
Emperor, Dangerous Liaisons) brings to life all of<br />
the splendour and seduction of Renaissance Verona,<br />
swept up in Prokofiev’s exhilarating, passionate<br />
score. Join us as we follow the Montagues and<br />
Capulets in Shakespeare’s original tale of two starcrossed<br />
lovers though desire, struggle and tragedy.<br />
Sure to be the highlight of the <strong>2017</strong> arts calendar<br />
this is a production not to be missed.<br />

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