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

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.

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 


PERMANENT safety barriers at 

the site of a fatal crash on Main 

Rd will be installed by the end of 

the month. 

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 

Community Board member 

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

Landmark building to reopen 

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 

meeting before making a 

recommendation to the city 

council. 

NEW CAFE TO OPEN IN 

ORTON BRADLEY PARK 

A new-look cafe will open 

at Orton Bradley Park in 

October, replacing the former 

Victorian-themed tea rooms 

which closed over summer. 

Co-managers Maria Lee 

and Ursina Riederer say 

they plan on using locally 

grown produce. They want to 

engage children at Diamond 

Harbour School and local 

residents in growing food 

for the cafe, which will serve 

“innovative, wholesome 

food,” Ms Lee said. 


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.

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 


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.

News 

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

Whistling Buoy.

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 

are used to 

help maintain 

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:

Buoy owner 

Neil Pattinson 

says they were 

thrilled with 

their honours

of Canterbury 

awards.

HUNTER 

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.

Bays claim reserve league title

Saturday. 

Lopas takes gold at world rowing champs 

LITTLE RIVER’S Jack Lopas 

has helped his crew power their 

way to gold in the under-23 

rowing world championships in 

Plovdiv, Bulgaria. 

The former Christchurch 

Boys’ High School student was 

a member of the men’s coxless 

quad which won an exciting and 

nail biting final. 

The crew of Lopas, Jack 

O’Leary, of Central, Ollie 

Maclean, of Auckland, and 

Jordan Parry, of Waikato, fought 

back through the field to take 

victory over Russia by 0.22sec. 

At the 500m mark, the crew 

was sitting in fifth position, 

but then powered over the next 

1000m to push into second place 

at the 1500m mark. 

The late burst of strength saw 

them push into first place with a 

time of 5min 41.85sec 

Russia were second with a 

time of 5min 42.07sec, and Italy 

took bronze with a time of 5min

- Changing STorieS - 

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 

Juliet 

A NEW BALLET 

by Francesco Ventriglia 

Isaac Theatre Royal 

25 – 26 August 

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.’’
