No extra<br />

proposed<br />

Summit Rd<br />

restrictions<br />

• By Sarla Donovan<br />

PLANS TO put the brakes on<br />

boy racers on the Summit Rd are<br />

likely to fail because police won’t<br />

have the resources to enforce new<br />

rules.<br />

Police have confirmed there<br />

won’t be any extra police to<br />

enforce proposed night-time<br />

restrictions on Summit Rd.<br />

Senior Sergeant Kelly Larsen<br />

told <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News police had<br />

to send staff where they were most<br />

needed.<br />

“We have finite resources and<br />

have to determine where to deploy<br />

staff. Most fatal accidents are on<br />

highways and rural open roads. In<br />

terms of risk, that’s where there is<br />

most need.”<br />

Senior Sergeant Larson said<br />

the primary role of police was the<br />

preservation of life.<br />

The city council has proposed to<br />

restrict night-time road access to<br />

Summit Rd and Worsleys Rd after<br />

concerns about anti-social road<br />

use, safety, damage, vandalism,<br />

fire and rubbish.<br />

The time restrictions would<br />

prohibit vehicles under 3500kg<br />

between 10pm to 5am, Thursday to<br />

Monday, and on public holidays.<br />

THE<br />

EDITOR’S<br />

DESK News.......................3-8, 11-14<br />

THERE WAS one very happy chap<br />

at the Sumner Rugby Club awards<br />

on Friday night – Johnny Wood.<br />

Life membership was bestowed<br />

on Woody, and as you will see<br />

from our coverage (pages 1, 5), it<br />

came right out of the blue.<br />

Woody has been part of the club<br />

for more than 20 years, and is<br />

one of those characters every club<br />

needs.<br />

He leads the singing on a Saturday<br />

and enjoys the social side of<br />

rugby at Sumner.<br />

Woody, 41, has been involved<br />

with the club since the mid-90s<br />

while he was at Shirley Boys’ High<br />

School.<br />

“We went down after school<br />

and I’ve never looked back,” said<br />

Woody.<br />

“It’s very family-orientated, a<br />

nice small community and I just<br />

love that.”<br />

And that sums up Sumner<br />

rugby.<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong> land could be sold<br />

• By Sarla Donovan<br />

THERE ARE no guarantees<br />

a valuable piece of land in<br />

Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> won’t be<br />

sold as part of a city council<br />

property review.<br />

The land contains two gullies<br />

that have been extensively<br />

planted by community groups,<br />

along with a footpath linking<br />

Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> School and<br />

Waipapa<br />

Ave which<br />

provides offroad<br />

Andrew Turner<br />

Association<br />

chairman<br />

Richard<br />

Suggate last week called for<br />

assurances Morgan’s Gully and<br />

Sam’s Gully be reserved and<br />

walking access retained should<br />

there be any sale of the land.<br />

Previous attempts at having<br />

the gullies reserved have been<br />

rejected by the city council.<br />

It was purchased some years<br />

ago to provide land for housing.<br />

Banks Peninsula Community<br />

Board member and city council<br />

Deputy Mayor Andrew Turner<br />

said he couldn’t give assurances<br />

as the land was subject to a<br />

city council decision-making<br />

process.<br />

However, he would not be<br />

supporting the sale of any land<br />

which had value and use to the<br />

community, he said.<br />

In the event a property was<br />

to be sold but there were areas<br />

of community value, the city<br />

council could put conditions<br />

on the sale, such as easements<br />

guaranteeing public access.<br />

Board chairwoman Christine<br />

Wilson said she was personally<br />

in favour of the land being kept<br />

in the community.<br />

Board member Paul McLister<br />

said if there was a genuine need<br />

for housing in Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong>,<br />

it might make sense to<br />

sell it, but there were currently<br />

subdivisions which weren’t full.<br />

“I’m always reluctant to see<br />

alienation of public land to private<br />

ownership. It’s a slippery<br />

slope,” Mr McLister said.<br />

Residents<br />

are calling<br />

for Morgan’s<br />

land it sits on<br />

The property review process<br />

will take six months, but that<br />

won’t start until the community<br />

board has held a workshop on<br />

the issue.<br />

Almost 30 properties across<br />

Banks Peninsula, with a value<br />

of close to $6m, were up for<br />

review.<br />

There would be a “strong<br />

focus” from the board on<br />

establishing present or<br />

potential community use, Cr<br />

Turner said.<br />

In Brief<br />

LPC CONSENT APPEALED<br />

Ngāi Tahu has lodged an appeal<br />

against resource consents granted<br />

last month allowing Lyttelton Port<br />

Company to deepen the harbour<br />

channel, enabling larger ships to<br />

enter the port. The appeal, based<br />

on environmental and cultural<br />

concerns, is supported by the<br />

Surfbreak Protection Society.<br />

WHARF SOLUTIONS<br />

Solutions to the issue of nonauthorised<br />

structures and<br />

improvements on Akaroa wharf<br />

will be presented by city council<br />

staff at the next Banks Peninsula<br />

Community Board meeting on<br />

<strong>August</strong> 14. The board resolved in<br />

June to require non-authorised<br />

structures and furnishings to be<br />

removed from the city councilowned<br />

part of the wharf unless an<br />

acceptable negotiated settlement<br />

could be brought back for board<br />

approval.<br />

CLARIFICATION<br />

Last week’s <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News<br />

included an article about Lyttelton<br />

resident Paul Jolliffe receiving<br />

the French Legion of Honour for<br />

the part he played in the D-Day<br />

landings at Normandy, France. It<br />

should have also said the medal was<br />

No extra police on Summit Rd<br />

•From page 1<br />

Governors <strong>Bay</strong> writer Rosie<br />

Belton believes the measures won’t<br />

reduce anti-social behaviour<br />

because there won’t be enough staff<br />

to police them.<br />

“Nobody’s going<br />

to take any<br />

notice. It boils<br />

down to a Government<br />

issue.<br />

Give us more<br />

police resources.<br />

Staff are overwhelmed,<br />

no<br />

matter how hard<br />

Rosie Belton or well-meaning<br />

they are.”<br />

Ms Larsen said while she sympathised<br />

with Ms Belton’s concerns,<br />

the city council’s proposal was “the<br />

best solution we can offer. It might<br />

have an impact and has the least<br />

negative effect.”<br />

She said there was an “unrelenting”<br />

demand for police services<br />

and there was no guarantee more<br />

resources would result in extra<br />

policing of the Summit Rd, due to<br />

demands from other areas.<br />

“Personally, I’m not sure (the<br />

restrictions) will achieve what<br />

we want it to. There’s nothing<br />

to stop them using alternative<br />

routes.”<br />

But she said the option of putting<br />

a barrier across the road<br />

DAMAGE: Skid marks where boy racers have congregated on<br />

Summit Rd.<br />

would negatively impact on people<br />

who had a valid reason for accessing<br />

the area, such as photographers<br />

and cyclists.<br />

“It’s trying to find a compromise.<br />

It’s a really challenging issue and<br />

we’re trying to work cooperatively.”<br />

She said if the proposal goes<br />

ahead, there might be extra police<br />

in the area initially, to educate<br />

drivers about the changes.<br />

Ms Belton said she wasn’t surprised<br />

to hear there wouldn’t be<br />

extra policing.<br />

“It’s exactly what I would have<br />

imagined. How can they? They<br />

don’t have the resources. You have<br />

to ask yourself, what’s this exercise<br />

about? For many years, people<br />

have tried to (solve this problem).<br />

Huge resources have gone into this<br />

city council proposal and where<br />

does it end up?”<br />

The city council is currently<br />

seeking feedback on the proposed<br />

night-time traffic prohibitions<br />

on Summit Rd. Go to the city<br />

council’s website www.ccc.govt.nz<br />

before <strong>August</strong> 25. More than 750<br />

submissions have been received so<br />

far.<br />

think traffic restrictions will<br />

solve the problems on Summit<br />

been one of the options?<br />

Pavement repairs<br />

hit a brick wall<br />

• By Sarla Donovan<br />

REPAIRS TO damaged pavers<br />

in Akaroa have still not been<br />

completed, in spite of city<br />

council promises they’d be<br />

fixed by the end of July.<br />

Resident Sue Stewart tripped<br />

over cracked and<br />

uneven tiles in<br />

Beach Rd back<br />

in May.<br />

The city council<br />

undertook<br />

to fix them and<br />

Sue<br />

contractors<br />

have started the<br />

repairs but they<br />

Stewart<br />

remain unfinished.<br />

Deputy mayor and Banks<br />

Peninsula Community Board<br />

member Andrew Turner told<br />

<strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News on July 4<br />

that contractors were waiting<br />

on a series of fine days before<br />

the work could resume, and<br />

then it would be completed<br />

within a week.<br />

Ms Stewart said on Monday<br />

they had dug up around the<br />

trees and lifted the “offending”<br />

concrete but work had<br />

“stalled” a fortnight ago.<br />

“They started off with great<br />

gusto.”<br />

City council road maintenance<br />

manager Mark Pinner<br />

said after removing the unsafe<br />

pavers and placing topsoil, city<br />

council arborists assessed the<br />

tree roots to determine the<br />

best solution to maintain tree<br />

health and provide a “safe and<br />

useable” surface around the<br />

trees that would limit potential<br />

trip hazards.<br />

“A gravel, resin-based material<br />

will be used to form a flexible<br />

surface that will require<br />

minimal maintenance, and<br />

this work will be done as soon<br />

as possible,” said Mr Pinner.<br />

Ms Stewart said it was important<br />

the job was finished,<br />

as all it would take would be<br />

for some “poncy American”<br />

to take a tumble and the city<br />

council would be sued.<br />

Woody gets life membership<br />

• By Gordon Findlater<br />

WHEN SUMNER win they<br />

sing.<br />

For more than 20 years<br />

Johnny Wood has been the<br />

man leading the Wave’s victory<br />

anthem and on Saturday he was<br />

made a life member at the rugby<br />

club.<br />

Wood, 41, has been involved<br />

with the club since the mid-90s<br />

while he was at Shirley Boys’<br />

High School.<br />

“We went down after school<br />

and I’ve never looked back,” said<br />

Wood.<br />

“It’s very family-orientated, a<br />

nice small community and I just<br />

love that.”<br />

The diehard Wave supporter<br />

has been part of management<br />

for the clubs’ teams over the<br />

years and has recently started<br />

helping with the coaching of a<br />

junior side. However, the recognition<br />

for his life membership<br />

came from his dedication to<br />

embodying the Sumner culture.<br />

“I’m just going down to have<br />

a drink with my mates. To be<br />

recognised for something like<br />

that is incredible. They say I<br />

respect the culture and maybe I<br />

do,” said Wood.<br />

Former team manager Tim<br />

Cronin was on hand to give a<br />

speech at the awards evening<br />

HONOURED: Johnny Wood, has been made a life member of<br />

the Sumner Rugby Club.<br />

PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />

and reflected on Wood’s dedication<br />

to the club over the years.<br />

“He does everything from getting<br />

gear to the ground, turning<br />

up to training early to help the<br />

kickers practice<br />

and running water<br />

on a Saturday,” said<br />

Cronin.<br />

“He’s really<br />

become a players’<br />

confidant and he’s a really good<br />

personality around the club.”<br />

The new life member was<br />

bought to tears by the occasion<br />

‘When we win we sing,<br />

and when we lose we<br />

booze.’ – Johnny Wood<br />

on Friday night which was kept<br />

a surprise.<br />

“I absolutely had no idea.<br />

There were so many of my<br />

friends there and I should have<br />

clicked,” said<br />

Wood.<br />

“My sister<br />

came down<br />

from Wellington<br />

and<br />

my mum was there as well, that<br />

meant the world to me.”<br />

In his early days the Sumner<br />

premier team played in division<br />

two and at one stage were<br />

relegated to division three.<br />

“It was never about the rugby<br />

back in the day. We weren’t that<br />

good and we just liked having a<br />

good time with our mates,” said<br />

Wood.<br />

One of Wood’s favourite<br />

memories over the years is when<br />

Sumner were promoted from division<br />

two into the division one<br />

competition at the end of 20<strong>09</strong>.<br />

“Going up to division one and<br />

proving everyone wrong was<br />

great. I still like the fact that we<br />

do that now. There are still clubs<br />

out there that don’t think we<br />

should be up there,” said Wood.<br />

He has played for Sumner<br />

but may hold the record for the<br />

club’s shortest playing career.<br />

Wood came on as a substitute<br />

at halfback for the division two<br />

side in the mid-90s and played<br />

the final 5min against Marist<br />

Albion. He plans to keep leading<br />

the division one side in song for<br />

seasons to come, giving the boys<br />

an extra reason to achieve victory<br />

every Saturday.<br />

“When we win we sing, and<br />

when we lose we booze,” said<br />

Wood.<br />

“I love getting into the changing<br />

room to lead that song, the<br />

boys get into it and it’s always a<br />

great feeling.”<br />

SEVENTEEN properties along<br />

the Sumner-Lyttelton corridor,<br />

acquired by the Crown as part of<br />

the residential red zone recovery,<br />

have now been transferred to city<br />

council ownership.<br />

“The transfer marks another<br />

milestone in the repair and regeneration<br />

of the Port Hills area,”<br />

Minister supporting Greater<br />

Christchurch Regeneration Nicky<br />

Wagner said.<br />

The properties, on Wakefield<br />

Ave, Nayland St, Clifton Tce,<br />

Main Rd and Balmoral Lane,<br />

were red-zoned following the<br />

February 22, 2011, earthquakes.<br />

Extensive rock fall mitigation<br />

has been done to them, including<br />

the installation of bunds and barriers<br />

to protect the roads below,<br />

and nearby properties.<br />

One property, at 8A Balmoral<br />

Lane, incorporated Moa Bone<br />

Cave – an archaeological site.<br />

The city council will be responsible<br />

for future use and maintenance<br />

of the land.<br />

The original was burnt<br />

when the courthouse<br />

almost caught alight in<br />

January 1962 when a fire<br />

at the Metropole Hotel<br />

threatened to spread to<br />

neighbouring properties.<br />

“It’s great to see the<br />

finial restored and the<br />

courthouse looking as it<br />

would have when it was<br />

originally built,’’ said<br />

Akaroa Museum director<br />

Lynda Wallace.<br />

“The courthouse is<br />

one of Akaroa’s largest<br />

remaining 19th century<br />

public buildings and a lot<br />

of work has been put in<br />

over the past 12 months<br />

to ensure its preservation.<br />

We’re thrilled with the<br />

result and are pleased to<br />

be able to again welcome<br />

visitors through its doors,’’<br />

Ms Wallace said.<br />

The courthouse dates<br />

back to 1880 and was used<br />

for hearings until 1979.<br />

It has been part of<br />

Akaroa Museum since<br />

1990. In recent years, it has<br />

been used by the museum<br />

to screen an audio-visual<br />

presentation on Akaroa to<br />

New life green cafe<br />

• By Sarla Donovan<br />

ORTON BRADLEY Park’s<br />

cafe will reopen in October<br />

and the new managers hope to<br />

involve local school children in<br />

supplying the produce.<br />

Co-managers Maria Lee and<br />

Ursina Riederer want to purchase<br />

supplies for the cafe from<br />

local gardeners, and that includes<br />

children from Diamond<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong> School.<br />

Ms Lee runs the Garden to<br />

Table initiative at the school,<br />

helping the pupils grow vegetables,<br />

fruit and herbs, as well as<br />

tending to a flock of chickens.<br />

Once a week she also comes in<br />

and cooks with the children using<br />

the produce they’ve grown.<br />

She’s hoping to bring them on<br />

board to help supply the cafe,<br />

along with local residents who<br />

have a garden glut or excess<br />

produce.<br />

“We’ll be offering people<br />

in the area market rates for<br />

produce that’s either grown especially<br />

for the cafe or resulting<br />

from a glut of fruits or vegetables<br />

in the garden.”<br />

The most commonly used supplies<br />

are lemons, apples, lettuces,<br />

salad greens, tomatoes, spinach,<br />

garlic, onions, plums, apricots,<br />

peaches, pears, beetroot and<br />

carrots.<br />

FRESH: Ursina Riederer and Maria Lee are co-managers of a<br />

new cafe opening at Orton Bradley Park. ​<br />

It will be the second time<br />

around for the park’s cafe after a<br />

Victorian-themed establishment<br />

closed in May after just one<br />

season.<br />

Park manager Ian Luxford<br />

said the decision to close was<br />

made because the cafe wasn’t<br />

financially viable.<br />

Ms Lee expects the new model<br />

will be more sustainable.<br />

“We’ll be using locally<br />

sourced, seasonal produce,<br />

which means our menu will<br />

change throughout the season<br />

to showcase the freshest ingredients.<br />

We will employ locally<br />

and utilise local talents, as well<br />

as growing much of our own<br />

produce and working hard to<br />

minimise waste. Every weekend<br />

the cafe will have a local guest<br />

baker create a cake that has history<br />

and meaning for them.”<br />

The cafe will hold two taster<br />

evenings in September before<br />

opening for business in the<br />

first weekend of October. It will<br />

initially be open Wednesday to<br />

Sunday.<br />

Parking meters that give<br />

back to the community<br />

CHARITY PARK: A parking<br />

meter to collect donations for<br />

community groups could be<br />

trialled in Sumner. ​<br />

• By Sarla Donovan<br />

A COMMUNITY parking<br />

meter in Sumner could help raise<br />

money for local projects.<br />

Heathcote Ward city councillor<br />

Sara Templeton wants to install<br />

a re-purposed parking meter in<br />

the city council’s new Nayland<br />

St car park behind the Matuku<br />

Takotako: Sumner Centre.<br />

She raised the idea at a recent<br />

Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />

Community Board meeting after<br />

seeing the re-purposed meters<br />

online.<br />

People who parked in the<br />

metered space could voluntarily<br />

donate money and get a parking<br />

ticket showing the donation.<br />

The money would then go to a<br />

local community group to help<br />

with projects.<br />

United States cities like San<br />

Diego, Pasadena and Pensacola<br />

have been putting parking meters<br />

to work for several years, collecting<br />

donations for charity.<br />

Specially painted meters were<br />

installed in Pensacola, Florida, in<br />

2015, as an alternative to giving<br />

directly to homeless on the street.<br />

Said Cr Templeton: “I can see<br />

it working in all sorts of areas for<br />

different groups and, hopefully,<br />

Sumner will be the first of many.”<br />

Sumner Residents’ Association<br />

spokeswoman Kimberley<br />

Mossman was positive about the<br />

suggestion. “It sounds quite a<br />

gorgeous, fun idea, and a great<br />

way of engaging people with the<br />

community.”<br />

Joe’s Garage co-owner Callum<br />

Brownlee said it was a “neat idea”<br />

and something definitely worth<br />

trialling.<br />

Urban regeneration group Gap<br />

Filler were working on a community<br />

car parking project at the<br />

moment, and Cr Templeton said<br />

she was also hoping to do something<br />

similar in suburban areas.<br />

City council staff are looking<br />

into the donation meter proposal<br />

and will report back to the board.<br />

Stock up on fresh cereal<br />

• By Sarla Donovan<br />

ROSE LINDLEY is an unlikely<br />

entrepreneur.<br />

At the age of 63, you might<br />

expect she’d be easing her way<br />

into retirement after a long nursing<br />

career.<br />

Instead, she’s been busy growing<br />

her own breakfast cereal<br />

company, called Mumma Bear,<br />

after a nickname her children<br />

gave her, all the while continuing<br />

to nurse part-time.<br />

Along with selling cereal<br />

from stalls at the Lyttelton and<br />

Christchurch farmers’ markets<br />

over the past three years, Mrs<br />

Lindley has just opened a full<br />

commercial kitchen and shop<br />

on Soleares Ave, along the road<br />

from her and husband Tim’s<br />

house. A trained food scientist,<br />

Mr Lindley helps ensure Mumma<br />

Bear’s recipes are nutritious<br />

and healthy.<br />

Mrs Lindley now cooks 12<br />

batches of her granola, muesli<br />

and porridge from there, instead<br />

of loading up the car and making<br />

a weekly trek out to a commercial<br />

kitchen in Lincoln.<br />

The self-confessed foodie says<br />

the business developed naturally<br />

after a life-time fascination with<br />

food.<br />

“It’s always been a thing in<br />

our family; I used to do courses<br />

teaching bread-making out<br />

in Lincoln. Then, after the<br />

earthquakes, the people I used<br />

the Mt Pleasant Market. I was at<br />

the very first market day and I<br />

worked there as a volunteer for<br />

the next two-and-a-half years.”<br />

Eventually, juggling nursing<br />

with volunteering at the market<br />

meant making the hard decision<br />

to give it up.<br />

“I loved it. I think it’s in my<br />

bones, there’s a wee bit of Italian<br />

in my background and it comes<br />

out now and then.”<br />

After a while, missing the<br />

market vibe, she looked around<br />

for a product she could sell<br />

and settled on breakfast cereal.<br />

Our People<br />

Ben Brown<br />

From being bullied into reading books to<br />

Lyttelton’s Ben Brown<br />

has been a writer and<br />

publisher since 1992.<br />

In that time, he has<br />

published 17 books for<br />

children and in 2011<br />

was awarded the Maori<br />

Writers’ Residency<br />

at the Michael King<br />

Writers’ Centre. He<br />

talks to Sarla Donovan<br />

about life and writing<br />

Were you always a writer or<br />

did life make you into one?<br />

It’s interesting. I grew up on<br />

a farm in Motueka and didn’t<br />

have much time for books as a<br />

kid, but my dad was a voracious<br />

reader. He’d bully me into<br />

reading books, and when I<br />

started, it was awesome. At the<br />

same time, I developed a knack<br />

for writing at school. That was<br />

my favourite subject at school,<br />

the bit where they’d let you go<br />

and write stories. My dad used<br />

to wander around the farm<br />

muttering poetry to himself.<br />

He was something special.<br />

A tobacco farmer. He was a<br />

labourer in his early 20s, then<br />

got an offer for a block of land he<br />

couldn’t refuse. He could turn<br />

his hand to anything.<br />

When your children were<br />

young, did you tell them<br />

stories?<br />

We (former partner and illustrator<br />

Helen Taylor) bounced<br />

a lot of stories off them and read<br />

a lot to both our children right<br />

up until they were 12 or 13. We<br />

got some good advice off the<br />

two of them. My son is now into<br />

computer software. He’s 20 and<br />

finishes his degree this year. My<br />

daughter is an extremely good<br />

writer. When you look back<br />

on it, they both have a creative<br />

element and both kids value an<br />

artistic approach to things. But<br />

they’ve seen too much of the<br />

struggle for artists. They want<br />

salaries. My son told me a joke,<br />

it’s the only poet joke I know.<br />

‘What’s the difference between<br />

a park bench and a poet? A park<br />

bench can support a family. He<br />

admires what we do, though.<br />

What were your first jobs?<br />

We did lots of things before<br />

we had kids. I was a tobacco<br />

worker straight out of school, a<br />

forestry worker, and did labouring<br />

over in Australia – a whole<br />

bunch of different labouring and<br />

hospitality jobs – and tutoring<br />

in the 90s. And I wrote all the<br />

way through it, but only really<br />

started to knuckle down when<br />

I was at Canterbury University<br />

doing law. The first manuscript<br />

I ever submitted I wrote in a law<br />

lecture. I wasn’t disciplined when<br />

it came to study. Couldn’t see the<br />

point of being an average lawyer,<br />

and looking down the barrel of a<br />

four-year degree, I sort of knew I<br />

wasn’t up to it. Then I met Helen.<br />

That first book I wrote was The<br />

Penguin Who Wanted to Fly.<br />

You’ve now published 17<br />

books for children – do you<br />

have a favourite?<br />

That first one is my favourite<br />

in a lot ways because it’s what<br />

got us started. We self-published<br />

for the first eight years. Literally<br />

sitting at the table cutting and<br />

pasting, getting bromides made,<br />

trundling off down to the printers.<br />

Independent publishing it’s<br />

called now. But that was the first<br />

manuscript we started submitting<br />

and it kind of kept us going<br />

because we got really nice rejection<br />

letters, which made us stick<br />

at it. We published four titles<br />

ourselves and sold about 16,000<br />

copies. They helped us tick over<br />

financially. We had our kids over<br />

that time. We were always looking<br />

at the struggle and wondering<br />

if it was worth it.<br />

So what got you picked up by<br />

a publisher?<br />

About the time we stopped<br />

self-publishing, we were noticed<br />

by Reed, which at the time was<br />

New Zealand’s oldest publisher.<br />

They picked up an ABC wall<br />

chart that Helen did, then took<br />

The Thief of Colours. After that,<br />

we did about two books a year<br />

with them, including A Booming<br />

in the Night, (Best Picture Book,<br />

New Zealand Post Children’s<br />

Book Awards 2006.) That’s probably<br />

been our best seller.<br />

Has it ever been lucrative?<br />

It’s a struggle to be honest,<br />

unless you write a best-seller. I<br />

tend to write what I want rather<br />

than what I should. I’ve done<br />

mostly poetry and short fiction<br />

writing for adults in the last few<br />

years and there’s absolutely no<br />

market for that, unless you get<br />

out and perform and do things<br />

like that.<br />

Looking back on your work,<br />

are there any themes that keep<br />

cropping up?<br />

Definitely in my poetry. I deal<br />

in reality, don’t really do pretty,<br />

evocative language. I’m street<br />

level – coming of age, dysfunction,<br />

life struggles – I try to keep<br />

it real. With kids books I try to<br />

make it light and fun; mischief<br />

and mayhem at a childhood<br />

level. I don’t want to see blood on<br />

the floor, not in a children’s book<br />

anyway.<br />

Helen illustrated many of<br />

your children’s books – what’s<br />

it like working with a family<br />

member?<br />

We’d have a lot of fun. I used<br />

to giggle away to myself writing<br />

some stories, thinking how is she<br />

going to illustrate this. We had a<br />

rule – I don’t interfere with your<br />

work, and vice versa. That’s the<br />

joy actually, is seeing how others<br />

interpret your work. Helen’s an<br />

easy person to work with. We<br />

still sit down and come up with<br />

ideas and I write introductions<br />

to her books.<br />

Sumner family’s historical<br />

So do you work at home or<br />

have an office somewhere?<br />

A little while ago an office<br />

came up at the Loons – it’s cool,<br />

you have to get up and go out<br />

to work! But for nearly 30 years,<br />

I’ve worked at home. For me it’s<br />

a job – I have to write a certain<br />

amount each day and<br />

generate material. I<br />

work five to six days<br />

a week. Also do a<br />

bit of tutoring and<br />

other side activities,<br />

but they have to have<br />

something to do with<br />

writing. I like to have<br />

at least two different<br />

projects on the go.<br />

Writing can be<br />

pretty sedentary.<br />

What gets you out and<br />

about?<br />

I walk – Lyttelton is a walking<br />

town. I’m getting old and a bit<br />

broken so walking’s about as far<br />

as I’ll go with physical exercise.<br />

But I like it a lot. I don’t do the<br />

tracks, I just wander the hills<br />

around home. I used to do the<br />

tracks but some of them are a bit<br />

rugged and a bit busted up.<br />

Do you have any favourite<br />

haunts in Lyttelton?<br />

I usually kick off the day with<br />

a coffee and cigarette at the<br />

Lyttelton Coffee Company.<br />

What projects do you have on<br />

the go right now?<br />

There’s a play I’m<br />

working on and I’m<br />

also trying to finish<br />

a book that was<br />

due last year, a mix<br />

of poetry and nonfiction.<br />

I’m also<br />

connection to Rangi Ruru<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

EVIE LAIDLAW is 12 and she<br />

doesn’t know a world without<br />

mobile phones, Facebook and<br />

the internet.<br />

But Evie, who lives in Sumner,<br />

is part of a legacy that dates back<br />

to when her school, Rangi Ruru<br />

Girls’ School, opened in 1890.<br />

Through her father Robert<br />

Laidlaw and grandfather<br />

John Laidlaw, who also live<br />

in Sumner, Evie is a direct<br />

descendant of the Gibson family<br />

who opened Rangi Ruru in 1890.<br />

The school celebrated<br />

Founder’s Day last week.<br />

Three generations of the<br />

Laidlaw family were at the<br />

school to mark the occasion and<br />

Evie was asked to light a candle<br />

during the service.<br />

“It was a really special service<br />

for Evie,” said Robert Laidlaw.<br />

Captain Frederick Gibson<br />

built the school and his<br />

daughters Helen, Mary, Beatrice,<br />

Alice, Lucy, Ethel, Ruth and<br />

Winifred ran the school for<br />

nearly 60 years.<br />

The Gibson sisters were Evie’s<br />

grandfather’s great aunts.<br />

But just about every woman<br />

on both sides of Evie’s family<br />

have worn the Rangi Ruru<br />

uniform as students at the<br />

school, including her mother<br />

Lucy, both grandmothers and a<br />

myriad of aunts.<br />

Her grandfather married<br />

his wife Judy in St Andrew’s<br />

Church, which is now on the<br />

school’s grounds, in 1965.<br />

Robert Laidlaw said the family<br />

connection comes out through<br />

the family tree and is reflected in<br />

their family values.<br />

“The school really reflects our<br />

family traditions and values, so<br />

it’s really good to see Evie going<br />

there,” he said.<br />

At 12, this is Evie’s first year<br />

at the school. Until now<br />

she hasn’t understood the<br />

importance of the family’s<br />

historic connection.<br />

“I think she’s just starting to<br />

THREE GENERATIONS: Evie Laidlaw with her father Robert<br />

and grandfather John – all descendants of Rangi Ruru<br />

founders, the Gibson family. (Below) Evie lighting the candles<br />

during the Founder’s Day service. ​<br />

realise the importance of the<br />

school to the family and she’s<br />

making the most of it,” he said.<br />

The family pulled out all the<br />

stops to get her there.<br />

“We were fortunate enough to<br />

have the opportunity to send her<br />

to the school and she knows it’s a<br />

privilege,” he said.<br />

The entire family is<br />

very proud, especially her<br />

grandfather who is thrilled his<br />

granddaughter will be carrying<br />

on the traditions of the past.<br />

Pupils take to the hills to help<br />

restore native vegetation<br />

• By Sarla Donovan<br />

LYTTELTON’S HILLS will soon<br />

be alive with the sound of spadewielding<br />

school children.<br />

At a planting day planned<br />

for <strong>August</strong> 18, pupils from<br />

Heathcote and Lyttelton primary<br />

schools will hike up to the Port<br />

Saddle along with members of<br />

the Banks Peninsula Conservation<br />

Trust.<br />

The 17ha Port Saddle lies<br />

on Lyttelton’s eastern hill side<br />

between the city council-owned<br />

Urumau Reserve and DOC<br />

reserve land at Buckleys <strong>Bay</strong> and<br />

Tauhinu-Korokio.<br />

Lyttelton Port Company owns<br />

the land and is working with<br />

the trust to restore the site by<br />

controlling weeds and pests and<br />

planting natives.<br />

Trust volunteer co-ordinator<br />

Sophie Hartnell said by bringing<br />

local school children on board<br />

early on in the project, they<br />

would be more inclined to feel a<br />

sense of ownership and want to<br />

continue being involved into the<br />

future.<br />

“Both schools are very close<br />

and, as this is intended to be a<br />

recreational area for all, we want<br />

to create a sense of belonging.<br />

Hopefully, they will then be<br />

COMMUNITY: Two planting days will be held at the Port Saddle<br />

above Lyttelton on <strong>August</strong> 18 and 19. ​<br />

more likely to use it and look<br />

after it.”<br />

As of last week, 40 pupils had<br />

registered for the expedition.<br />

Along with planting trees and<br />

shrubs, DOC staff will speak to<br />

them about pest management<br />

and the predator-free Banks<br />

Peninsula initiative.<br />

On <strong>August</strong> 19, trust volunteers<br />

and locals will head up the hill<br />

for another burst of planting.<br />

Mrs Hartnell has emailed the<br />

trust’s database of about 100<br />

volunteers asking for helpers.<br />

She will also drop fliers around<br />

Lyttelton letting residents know<br />

about the planting day.<br />

Ngaio, akeake, kanuka,<br />

matagouri and broadleaf grew<br />

on the saddle originally. Now,<br />

only exotic grasses and woody<br />

weeds, pines and eucalypts<br />

remain.<br />

LPC and the trust hope<br />

that enhancing the land<br />

through planting, walkways<br />

and cycle tracks will help<br />

provide accessible recreational<br />

opportunities close to Lyttelton.<br />

The plants are being funded<br />

by LPC.<br />

The role of pine in<br />

preventing rockfall<br />

Dorothea<br />

Herron’s<br />

involvement in<br />

native planting<br />

restoration<br />

at Urumau<br />

Reserve goes back 20<br />

years. She writes about the<br />

vital role historic pine trees<br />

are still playing on the<br />

steep-sided terrain<br />

Those pine trees on the hillside<br />

up behind Foster and Gilmour<br />

Tces are just low-value pests,<br />

right?<br />

Wrong. The trees, known<br />

as The Plantation, were<br />

planted back in the 1880s, when<br />

residents recognised the rockfall<br />

hazard that the bare hill presented<br />

to Lyttelton’s inhabitants.<br />

Since then, the pine trees have<br />

helped to keep the rocks at bay<br />

and now they are providing shelter<br />

to regenerating native plants.<br />

Under the protection of the<br />

plantation pines, native plants<br />

are quietly regenerating.<br />

They’re not show-offs like the<br />

in your face pine trees, but they<br />

are coming along nicely. You<br />

need to look to see them, but<br />

they’re there doing their thing.<br />

These natives are special<br />

because they are self-introduced<br />

from the immediate ecological<br />

area and, one day, these upstarts<br />

will take over the job of<br />

protecting the town from those<br />

unstable rocks. And they’ll do<br />

something that the pine trees<br />

can’t – provide food and habitat<br />

for other natives.<br />

So the next time you’re walking<br />

or scrambling around in The<br />

Plantation, take some time to see<br />

what’s really growing on.<br />

to begin public consultation<br />

Art courses popular<br />

Maggie Craw, 13, lives in<br />

Raupo <strong>Bay</strong> and is in year 8<br />

at Selwyn House School.<br />

She has chosen journalism<br />

as her Passion Project,<br />

where students immerse<br />

themselves in something<br />

they are really interested<br />

in. The projects could be<br />

anything from baking cakes<br />

and selling them to raise<br />

money for cancer research<br />

to designing a house and<br />

making a 3D model. As<br />

part of her project, Maggie<br />

has written an article<br />

about an art course in<br />

Duvauchelle run by Anna<br />

Dalzell. She asked if it could<br />

be published in the <strong>Bay</strong><br />

happy to oblige<br />

On July 19 in the Duvauchelle<br />

Plunket rooms, Anna Dalzell<br />

held another one of her popular<br />

art courses for the children of<br />

Banks Peninsula.<br />

This course was a leaf and<br />

flower printmaking course. The<br />

children were asked to take their<br />

bestselling author Sam Bourne, in which Maggie<br />

Costello uncovers an assassination plot to kill the<br />

tyrannical new president. If the president is out of<br />

controlWho will take the ultimate step?The unthinkable<br />

has happened. The United States has elected a volatile<br />

demagogue as president, backed by his ruthless chief strategist, Dan<br />

Mullan.When a war of words with North Korea’s ruler spirals out of control<br />

and the President comes perilously close to launching a nuclear attack,<br />

it’s clear someone has to act, or the world will be reduced to ashes.Soon<br />

Maggie Costello, a seasoned Washington operator with liberal sympathies,<br />

discovers the plot to kill the President – and faces the ultimate moral<br />

dilemma. Should she save the President and leave the free world at the<br />

mercy of a crazed tyrant, or commit treason against her commander in<br />

chief and risk plunging the country into a civil war?<br />

The children gave the class<br />

great reviews.<br />

“Anna is a very nice teacher<br />

who lets us experiment with lots<br />

fun doing it,” said Molly Oborne.<br />

There is always a lot of interest<br />

Retired fire officer<br />

saves house from blaze<br />

• By Sarla Donovan<br />

DIAMOND HARBOUR’S chief<br />

fire officer Bob Palmer says the<br />

quick actions of a knowledgeable<br />

neighbour helped save a Port<br />

Levy home.<br />

Mr Palmer said the brigade<br />

received a call from Lyttelton’s<br />

retired chief fire officer Alan<br />

“Goodie” Goodmanson just<br />

after 11pm on July 30.<br />

His wife, upon hearing some<br />

“unusual sounds” had opened to<br />

curtains to see red flames shooting<br />

up the back of the house<br />

opposite.<br />

Mr Goodmanson immediately<br />

called the Fire Service before<br />

zooming across the road in his<br />

night attire.<br />

Luckily the owner, who lives<br />

in Christchurch, had left on the<br />

power which controls the water<br />

pump, so Mr Goodmanson<br />

was able to use a garden hose to<br />

douse the back of the house.<br />

By then, another neighbour<br />

had come out.<br />

“Between them, they smashed<br />

a window and sprayed water<br />

into the house which was well<br />

involved, with fire going up the<br />

inside wooden walls and into a<br />

bathroom,” Mr Palmer said.<br />

“It was Goodie’s efforts that<br />

saved the house, no doubt about<br />

it. I wouldn’t expect to arrive<br />

and find a minor fire . . . we are<br />

about 30 minutes away. It was<br />

the fantastic work of old Goodie<br />

that saved the day.”<br />

The fire was caused by hot<br />

ashes close to the house, Mr<br />

Palmer said.<br />

The Good Daughter<br />

by Karin Slaughter<br />

’Karin Slaughter’s most ambitious, most emotional, and best novel. So far,<br />

anyway.’ James Patterson<br />

The stunning new standalone, with a chilling edge of psychological<br />

suspense, from the bestselling author of Pretty Girls.<br />

Two girls are forced into the woods at gunpoint. One runs for her life. One<br />

is left behind ...<br />

Twenty-eight years ago, Charlotte and Samantha Quinn’s happy smalltown<br />

family life was torn apart by a terrifying attack on their family home. It left<br />

their mother dead. It left their father - Pikeville’s notorious defence attorney<br />

- devastated. And it left the family fractured beyond repair, consumed by<br />

secrets from that terrible night.<br />

Twenty-eight years later, and Charlie has followed in her father’s footsteps<br />

to become a lawyer herself - the archetypal good daughter. But when<br />

violence comes to Pikeville again - and a shocking tragedy leaves the<br />

whole town traumatised - Charlie is plunged into a nightmare. Not only<br />

is she the first witness on the scene, but it’s a case which can’t help<br />

triggering the terrible memories she’s spent so long trying to suppress.<br />

Because the shocking truth about the crime which destroyed her family<br />

nearly thirty years ago won’t stay buried for ever ...<br />

International funding by Rotary<br />

Barbara<br />

Crooks writes<br />

about the<br />

important role<br />

played by the<br />

international<br />

branch of<br />

the Rotarian<br />

movement in supporting<br />

communities and initiatives<br />

around the world<br />

Ferrymead Rotary raises<br />

money in the local community<br />

to spend in the local community.<br />

But these funds don’t go far<br />

enough to do all we’d like to in<br />

helping young people and community<br />

activities.<br />

So, we look to the Rotary<br />

Foundation, an international<br />

charity funded by donations<br />

from Rotarians, Rotary clubs<br />

and individuals. Each year, the<br />

foundation returns half of Rotary<br />

contributions for use at the local<br />

level.<br />

This year Ferrymead Rotary<br />

was granted foundation money<br />

to send Israel Lochhead to a<br />

week-long, live-in youth leadership<br />

course held at College<br />

House, University of Canterbury.<br />

The course, run by Rotary for 18<br />

to 25-year-olds, provided a mix<br />

of expert speakers, outdoor rope<br />

exercises, group-project work,<br />

and plenty of opportunity to get<br />

to know one another.<br />

Last year Ferrymead used a<br />

grant to help provide a Healthy<br />

Heroes programme in a local<br />

school. This is designed to help<br />

primary school pupils develop<br />

a balanced lifestyle – eat well,<br />

sleep well, exercise regularly, read<br />

or learn something new, and do<br />

LEADERS:<br />

Rope exercises<br />

were part of a<br />

live-in youth<br />

leadership<br />

course run by<br />

Rotary earlier<br />

this year. ​<br />

something to help someone else.<br />

The Rotary Foundation is an<br />

endowment fund established in<br />

1917. It received its first donation<br />

in 1926 – US$26.<br />

Right now, the foundation has<br />

captured international attention<br />

through its 35-year campaign<br />

to rid the world of polio. The<br />

United Nations, governments,<br />

major international donors, and<br />

health professionals have joined<br />

rotary’s drive to eradicate polio.<br />

Just a few cases in a few countries<br />

remain.<br />

Last year the foundation gave<br />

more than US$100 million<br />

in grants towards promoting<br />

world understanding and peace<br />

through humanitarian and educational<br />

programmes.<br />

Projects include saving mothers<br />

and babies, providing clean<br />

drinking water, supporting<br />

education, helping develop local<br />

economies, and fighting disease.<br />

It is supported by donations from<br />

Rotarians and friends around the<br />

world.<br />

National<br />

List MP for<br />

Port Hills<br />

Nuk Korako<br />

reflects on the<br />

response from<br />

civil defence<br />

emergency management<br />

during the recent flooding<br />

event in the city<br />

July was a month of extreme<br />

weather in the Port Hills, with<br />

high rainfall causing flooding in<br />

many parts of our district.<br />

My thoughts are with those<br />

who had to be evacuated and I<br />

hope that any damage to your<br />

properties has been minimal. It<br />

was a challenging few days for<br />

many people, and I want to recognise<br />

the tireless efforts of all<br />

those who contributed to local<br />

and regional responses.<br />

When the state of emergency<br />

was declared in Christchurch, I<br />

visited the Civil Defence centre<br />

at Linwood College.<br />

It was great to see how proactively<br />

and decisively Civil Defence<br />

emergency management<br />

groups acted to keep people and<br />

property out of harm’s way and<br />

it was a pleasure to lend them<br />

a hand at the Linwood centre,<br />

which had been set up for flood<br />

evacuees and any residents feeling<br />

unsafe due to the flooding.<br />

It’s always hard to see the<br />

damage that flooding can do to<br />

people’s homes and livelihoods,<br />

but it is communities like ours<br />

in the Port Hills which embrace<br />

a firm can-do attitude, are<br />

staunch, resilient, and humble.<br />

On July 24, Youth Minister<br />

Nikki Kaye announced the<br />

opening of applications for the<br />

$100,000 Youth in Emergency<br />

Preparedness Fund, which supports<br />

national programmes run<br />

collaboratively with the Ministry<br />

of Youth Development and<br />

the Ministry of Civil Defence<br />

and Emergency Management.<br />

I’d encourage any relevant<br />

local groups to apply – it’s a<br />

fantastic opportunity for our<br />

young people to get involved in<br />

Civil Defence and emergency<br />

services, develop new skills,<br />

potentially find a new career<br />

path and, of course, contribute<br />

to their communities in a positive<br />

way.<br />

I’ve had a busy few weeks at<br />

Parliament and in the Port Hills.<br />

A real highlight was being a<br />

guest speaker at the Cholmondeley<br />

Children’s Foundation<br />

event on July 27. Cholmondeley<br />

Children’s Centre offers original<br />

and specialised services for children<br />

affected by family crisis,<br />

and gives them the chance to see<br />

the light, feel the warmth and<br />

reach their potential.<br />

Looking towards the<br />

future of Whakaraupō/<br />

Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong><br />

PHOTO: KELVIN MCMILLAN<br />

Improving the health of the harbour is a goal<br />

we can all strive for and contribute towards.<br />

Yvette Couch-Lewis<br />

<strong>August</strong> marks the one<br />

year anniversary since<br />

Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke,<br />

Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu,<br />

Environment Canterbury,<br />

Christchurch City Council,<br />

and the Lyttelton Port<br />

Company signed a<br />

Memorandum of Understanding committing<br />

to work together to create an action plan<br />

for restoring the cultural and ecological<br />

health of Whakaraupō.<br />

The need for these organisations to work<br />

together on creating a Whakaraupō/Lyttelton<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong> Catchment Plan was identified<br />

during the Lyttelton Port Recovery Plan<br />

hearings in 2015 when many members<br />

of the community and Ngāti Wheke<br />

asked for a long-term and coordinated<br />

commitment to improving the health of<br />

the harbour by looking at all activities<br />

happening in the catchment.<br />

And so for the past 12 months, we’ve had<br />

numerous people from each of these five<br />

organisations working hard to develop a plan<br />

which we hope will resonate with you and<br />

one that future generations will be excited<br />

to see come to fruition.<br />

We’ve sought advice from many different<br />

sources, including scientists who provided<br />

advice on the gaps in understanding and<br />

monitoring of Whakaraupō; Ngāti Wheke<br />

along with the other partners have provided<br />

us with ideas on potential projects we could<br />

include in the plan; and the community<br />

who have told us what matters most to<br />

them in the area.<br />

Thank you to everyone who has assisted<br />

us during this time. We’re now at a point of<br />

drafting a long-term catchment management<br />

plan which will look toward 2040.<br />

Looking that far ahead is no easy task and<br />

the governance group is keen to see a<br />

mixture of long-term projects and practical<br />

actions that everyone can contribute to now.<br />

Suggestions we’ve received range from<br />

the installation of educational interpretation<br />

panels to large-scale, long-term projects such<br />

as restoration of the head of the harbour.<br />

The final plan will include immediate<br />

restoration actions, ongoing monitoring<br />

and reporting, co-ordinated science to<br />

improve understanding, and looking at how<br />

we as partners coordinate and align our work<br />

programmes for the benefit of harbour health.<br />

We will also consider the existing regulatory<br />

framework and if it supports our goals or if<br />

changes are needed.<br />

Improving the health of the harbour is a goal<br />

we can all strive for and contribute towards.<br />

Through this plan, we want to ensure that<br />

you as residents and businesses feel a<br />

connection and know how you too can help<br />

improve the harbour for future generations.<br />

We hope that as a result of this work, we<br />

will once again be able to hear the morning<br />

chorus, to catch a fish or collect shellfish with<br />

our children to provide a meal for the family.<br />

On raining days when the streams are rushing<br />

out into the harbour, we hope to look out and<br />

not see the sediment plume and ultimately<br />

we hope to see the native species of the<br />

catchment increase and return.<br />

We will be engaging with communities<br />

and stakeholder groups on the draft<br />

plan in October. Keep an eye out on<br />

Plenty of space for all to enjoy<br />

Regional <strong>Harbour</strong>master<br />

Jim Dilley writes about<br />

trot moorings, safety<br />

patrols and how lifejackets<br />

can make the difference<br />

between life and death on<br />

the water<br />

Gary Manch is off swanning<br />

around in the sun and it’s very<br />

quiet in the office without him.<br />

He’s left me a long list of stuff<br />

to cover in these write-ups but<br />

I’ll just ignore those and claim<br />

ignorance when he returns.<br />

There are a few things<br />

happening around the Peninsula<br />

at present. In Akaroa, we will<br />

be installing a series of trot<br />

moorings – basically a long<br />

chain between two large blocks<br />

on the seabed. This has short<br />

ropes/chains coming up from it<br />

and a buoy to mark them.<br />

It is hoped these will provide a<br />

method of mooring small boats<br />

over the summer period without<br />

taking up lots of space.<br />

Once they are in position, we<br />

will let you know where they are<br />

located and how people can use<br />

them.<br />

Gary has been setting his<br />

schedule for boating safety<br />

education and patrols over the<br />

coming summer period (yes, I’m<br />

sure the warmer weather will<br />

come eventually). We will have<br />

Cabin Boy’s Corner<br />

staff on the water on our patrol<br />

personal watercraft and on the<br />

boat ramps in various locations<br />

and times.<br />

We are focused on education<br />

instead of fines; it’s about letting<br />

people know there may be a<br />

better place to do something, or<br />

that water-skiing in a swimming<br />

area is not a good idea.<br />

There is plenty of space for<br />

everyone to enjoy, as long as<br />

we each think about what is<br />

going on around us and act<br />

reasonably.<br />

If you do have concerns while<br />

out on the water, we have a duty<br />

officer who can help you resolve<br />

possible issues. Just phone 0800<br />

EC INFO (0800 324 636) and<br />

follow the voice prompts for the<br />

harbourmaster’s office and duty<br />

officer.<br />

A recent court case found a<br />

boatie guilty of manslaughter<br />

after his boat capsized and his<br />

passenger drowned. The owner<br />

and skipper of the boat went to<br />

sea in rough conditions with<br />

neither himself or his crew<br />

wearing a lifejacket. Even worse<br />

there were no lifejackets on<br />

board the vessel.<br />

Unfortunately, the vessel<br />

capsized and the passenger died.<br />

“If you are the skipper you are<br />

legally responsible for the safety<br />

of the boat and all on board.<br />

You can be prosecuted for<br />

breaching safety rules” said<br />

Maritime New Zealand director<br />

Keith Manch.<br />

We all know lifejackets save<br />

lives. I can only imagine the<br />

distress this has caused to all<br />

those involved. Please save<br />

your loved ones from having to<br />

deal with the loss of you at sea.<br />

Wear a correctly fitting lifejacket<br />

and come home safe from<br />

boating.<br />

I often get things wrong (as my<br />

good lady reminds me on many<br />

occasions). I just hope I have<br />

the sense to listen to others and<br />

realise my mistakes before I do<br />

something wrong that endangers<br />

myself or others on the water.<br />

If I do get it wrong with a<br />

lifejacket on I won’t drown,<br />

and with two types of<br />

communication I can tell<br />

someone where I am so I can be<br />

rescued.<br />

Questions need answering<br />

Port Hills MP<br />

Ruth Dyson<br />

questions<br />

whether<br />

measures to<br />

mitigate flood<br />

risk on the lower Heathcote<br />

River will be sufficient<br />

The recent flooding – just three<br />

years after the last substantial<br />

floods – has caused damage and<br />

distress to local residents and<br />

their homes, many of which<br />

have already been through so<br />

much – quakes, floods, fires<br />

and now more floods. And the<br />

overwhelming reaction from<br />

these people was to look out for<br />

other people and offer help. It really<br />

makes me proud to be a New<br />

Zealander.<br />

But there are questions that<br />

need answering and I really want<br />

the city council to meet with all<br />

the affected residents, hear their<br />

views and answer their questions.<br />

I know that there is lots of<br />

valuable local knowledge held<br />

by people who live alongside the<br />

river. Many live there because<br />

of the river and know it and its<br />

patterns well.<br />

We all know that there is a lot<br />

of work under way to mitigate<br />

the flood risk on the lower<br />

Heathcote. There are four flood<br />

basins in the Upper Heathcote<br />

planned. Only one is operating<br />

so far, one is under construction<br />

and two will have construction<br />

starting over summer. They<br />

will hold 800,000 cu m of water.<br />

The new pumping station on<br />

Richardson Tce is well under way<br />

and two large flood basins are<br />

planned to take water in the Bells<br />

Creek catchment in Woolston.<br />

Is this enough? And what<br />

about the significant new subdivisions<br />

planned for Cashmere<br />

and above Hoon Hay Valley Rd?<br />

What impact will their run-off<br />

have on the river? And what can<br />

be done to stop the silt run-off<br />

from the fire-damaged areas<br />

which further clogs up the river?<br />

Should the river be dredged?<br />

And how can the city council<br />

support local residents to better<br />

protect their own homes?<br />

We can always learn from each<br />

other and I look forward to this<br />

exchange of information so that<br />

we can really reduce the risk of<br />

flooding in the future.<br />

Finally, thanks to the many<br />

volunteers who opened the<br />

evacuation centre at Linwood<br />

College, who took the rescue<br />

boats out to stranded locals, who<br />

knocked on doors providing<br />

such reassurance and who helped<br />

with the big cleanup. You did it<br />

not for praise, but for the good of<br />

others, but you deserve heaps of<br />

praise as well – thank you.<br />
