No extra<br />
police to<br />
enforce<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 />

Community<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 />

PLANTING:<br />
Residents<br />
are calling<br />
for Morgan’s<br />
Gully to be<br />
protected if<br />
land it sits on<br />
is sold.<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 />

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 />
Rd? Should a barrier have<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 />

of 17<br />
properties<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 />

RESTORED: The<br />

Courthouse decoration<br />
back 55 years after fire<br />
KEEN OBSERVERS may<br />
notice a new addition to<br />
the Akaroa Courthouse.<br />
The decorative finial<br />
missing from the historic<br />
building’s front gable for<br />
more than 55 years has<br />
been replicated and put<br />
back.<br />
The finial was returned<br />
as part of the recent<br />
work done to restore<br />
the building and fix the<br />
damage caused by the<br />
earthquakes.<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 />
to buy hydroponic lettuces off<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 />

on the panel for<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 />

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 />

they used to learn how to print<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 />

great reviews.<br />
“Anna is a very nice teacher<br />
who lets us experiment with lots<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 />
