Mega season ahead for yacht club<br />
HELPING HAND: Ferrymead Mitre 10 Mega’s Tony Franc with the new mainsails.<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
THE RAIN cleared to sunny<br />
skies and warm north-east<br />
winds, perfect conditions for<br />
Christchurch Yacht Club’s<br />
season opener on Saturday<br />
afternoon.<br />
The formal launch got under<br />
way at noon with an update on<br />
recent developments at the club,<br />
the raising of the club flag, a<br />
glass of champagne and a light<br />
lunch.<br />
Competition followed at 1pm<br />
with about 40 boats racing on<br />
the day.<br />
Six bright orange mainsail sets<br />
donated by Ferrymead Mitre 10<br />
Mega could be spied bobbing out<br />
on the water.<br />
The sails on the club’s optimist<br />
boats, used for learn to sail<br />
classes, were old and worn out so<br />
Mitre 10 offered to replace them,<br />
said club commodore Richard<br />
Ineson.<br />
“These new ones are nice and<br />
bright, good for training. When<br />
the boats go out, they’re easy to<br />
distinguish.”<br />
Numbers at the opening event<br />
were excellent, he said.<br />

After a fall-off in membership<br />
following the earthquakes,<br />
numbers had stabilised and were<br />
now in a growth pattern.<br />
Learn to sail classes start next<br />
week and were full.<br />
The recent success of Team<br />
New Zealand’s campaign had<br />
helped to bring the sport of<br />
yachting back to the forefront.<br />

Residents<br />
fired up<br />
over<br />
footpath<br />
parking<br />
fines<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
RICHMOND HILL Rd residents<br />
are being ticketed by city council<br />
staff for parking on the footpath –<br />
and some have taken umbrage at<br />
the move.<br />
Brian Anderson has lived on<br />
the road for 35 years and says<br />
residents have always parked on<br />
the footpath out of courtesy and<br />
necessity.<br />
He told <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News he<br />
was surprised to receive a $40<br />
ticket out of the blue last month<br />
for something he’s always done.<br />
“Everyone who lives on, or visits,<br />
the lower to middle sections of<br />
Richmond Hill Road parks on the<br />
footpath,” Mr Anderson said.<br />
“It’s too narrow not to. By<br />
parking clear of the footpath, the<br />
road is needlessly narrowed and<br />
obstructed, greatly increasing the<br />
risk of an accident.”<br />
Mr Anderson believed this had<br />
been accepted by both residents<br />
and the city council.<br />
However, earlier this month, he<br />
was ticketed twice and his neighbour<br />
also received one.<br />

WHAT AN election it’s going to<br />
be on Saturday night.<br />
The best and potentially the<br />
closest in many years, and one<br />
which will shape the country’s<br />
future for sometime.<br />
Star Media, publisher of <strong>Bay</strong><br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> News, will be following<br />
the election on our website www.<br />
star.kiwi and we’ll have reporters<br />
out on the street and bringing<br />
you latest updates through the<br />
afternoon and into the night.<br />
The Star tomorrow will also have<br />
an in-depth election preview.<br />
The polls clearly show people<br />
have shifted to voting for either<br />
National and Labour and this<br />
could spell doom for many<br />
smaller party politicians who<br />
have made it into Parliament on<br />
the back of MMP.<br />
Indications are voter turnout<br />
will be high and which ever party<br />
mobilises its supporters best on<br />
Saturday will win.<br />

Parking fines for residents<br />
•From page 1<br />
Mr Anderson believes the city<br />
council has altered its policy on<br />
footpath parking and should<br />
inform the public.<br />
However, a city council<br />
spokeswoman said there had<br />
been no recent change in its<br />
enforcement policy.<br />
City council transport<br />
operations manager Aaron<br />
Haymes said staff had visited<br />
Richmond Hill Rd this month<br />
following complaints from<br />
residents about vehicles parking<br />
on the footpath.<br />
“This issue is common,<br />
particularly in the hill suburbs,<br />
and officers try to take a<br />
pragmatic approach and weigh<br />
up safety concerns prior to<br />
issuing a notice.”<br />
Mr Haymes said the footpath<br />
on Richmond Hill Rd was<br />
designed to allow vehicles to<br />
park partially over it without<br />
obstructing either the roadway<br />
or the footpath completely.<br />
“In this instance . . . the<br />
footpath was fully blocked,<br />
preventing pedestrian access . . .<br />
(which) poses a serious risk to<br />
pedestrians as they then have to<br />
go on to the road to get past.”<br />
Mr Anderson said he was now<br />
parking half on the footpath<br />
and half on the road.<br />
FINED: Brian and Suwadee Anderson have been parking in the same spot for more than 30<br />
years on Richmond Hill Rd. Now the city council is giving their vehicle tickets for being on<br />
the footpath.<br />
PHOTO MARTIN HUNTER<br />
“However, I do not know if<br />
that is acceptable or not as noone<br />
has responded to me,” he<br />
said.<br />
“My immediate neighbour<br />
is doing much the same, but<br />
further up the hill, everyone<br />
parks hard against the rails as<br />
ever.”<br />

In Brief<br />
COASTAL PATHWAY<br />
The Christchurch Coastal Pathway<br />
group is seeking New Zealand<br />
Transport Agency funding to help<br />
cover a $10 million shortfall for the<br />
Moncks <strong>Bay</strong>-Shag Rock section.<br />
It has asked the city council to<br />
include the pathway within the<br />
Major Cycleways Route programme,<br />
which would allow it to apply for<br />
NZTA assistance. The Linwood-<br />
Central-Heathcote Community<br />
Board is seeking clarification from<br />
city council staff this week about<br />
whether the pathway fits within the<br />
programme’s criteria.<br />
TEDDINGTON CRASH<br />
The driver of a vehicle which rolled<br />
into a ditch near the Wheatsheaf<br />
Tavern about 10.40pm on Saturday<br />
was lucky to escape without injuries.<br />
Governors <strong>Bay</strong> Fire Brigade officer<br />
in charge Ken Frost said the vehicle<br />
suffered significant damage when<br />
it went off the Governors <strong>Bay</strong>-<br />
Teddington Rd and landed in a creek.<br />
The driver, who was headed towards<br />
Governor’s <strong>Bay</strong>, was from Rangiora.<br />
MUSEUM SITE DELAY<br />
A city council decision on gifting<br />
property at 33-35 London St to the<br />
Lyttelton Historical Museum Society<br />
to rebuild the museum isn’t likely<br />
until October. The decision was to be<br />
made at a full city council meeting<br />
last week, but has been referred to a<br />
hearing panel.<br />
“Now is the moment we’ve been<br />
waiting for. It’s time. This is our<br />
opportunity to build a better, fairer<br />
future for New Zealand. To fix our<br />
healthcare, grow our economy,<br />
respect our environment and to look<br />
after our towns as much as our cities.<br />
It’s time to change things for the<br />
better. I’m ready. We’re ready.”<br />
Jacinda Ardern, Labour Leader<br />
Ruth<br />
Dyson<br />
for Port Hills<br />
As your local Member of Parliament, I listen to<br />
people, work hard and get things done. We need<br />
affordable housing, better mental health services<br />
and truly swimmable rivers and lakes. I want to<br />
be part of a Labour-led government that delivers<br />
these things for all New Zealanders.<br />

Rose McInerney<br />
Principal’s ‘excitement and relief’ over<br />
The Redcliffs community learned this month<br />
that its school will finally be rebuilt at Redcliffs<br />
Park. Principal Rose McInerney talks to Sarla<br />
Donovan about the long battle to keep the<br />
school open<br />
Congratulations Rose. How<br />
does it feel?<br />
It feels really exciting to have<br />
absolute certainly – there can be<br />
no change to the decision and we<br />
know we’re going to have a school<br />
back in Redcliffs. There’s excitement<br />
and relief, like a massive<br />
weight’s been lifted off the many<br />
shoulders that helped with this<br />
battle.<br />
Did you pop some bubbly<br />
afterwards?<br />
We did – we had a great night.<br />
We went out to a restaurant and<br />
had a lovely evening together.<br />
You’ve really got to mark the<br />
celebrations on a long journey<br />
like this.<br />
Were there ever any moments<br />
of doubt that you’d get the<br />
school back to Redcliffs?<br />
We had a lot of roadblocks<br />
along the way but there was such<br />
a determination to keep finding<br />
a way through. I wouldn’t say it<br />
was doubt. Something else would<br />
be put in our way and the many<br />
people who helped thought,<br />
‘right, what are we going to do<br />
about this?’ It was a very, very<br />
determined group with an amazing<br />
skill set.<br />
It must be a fairly unusual<br />
experience for a principal?<br />
Very. I certainly spoke to a<br />
few of the principals who had to<br />
go through the threat of closure<br />
and some that actually had to<br />
handle closure. Such empathy<br />
and shared experience, but no<br />
there wouldn’t be many that have<br />
done this.<br />
Has it changed you?<br />
I’m still the same me that I<br />
was but I’ve probably grown in<br />
strength and fortitude . . . and<br />
determination. I guess I’ve learnt<br />
to read people and situations and<br />
to really get the best out of people<br />
– that’s been a big thing.<br />
What kept you going when<br />
things got tough?<br />
People. Such a strong group<br />
who would know when it was<br />
hard and do amazingly kind<br />
things. Last year, when we were<br />
going through the waiting game,<br />
we had groups of parents arriving<br />
with morning tea and putting<br />
magazines in the staff toilets –<br />
amazing, kind gestures. Emails<br />
of support saying ‘keep going’,<br />
cards, and all of those little gestures<br />
so you knew there’s a lot of<br />
people who care about this. And<br />
RELIEVED: Rose McInerney,<br />
principal of Redcliffs School.<br />
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />
just doing it for our kids. They’ve<br />
had such a stoic, resilient attitude<br />
since we had to move three times.<br />
That sense of keeping on going<br />
and doing it for the community. I<br />
think all of us that were involved<br />
in fighting the closure knew that<br />
we had a really good chance,<br />
because we had the facts and the<br />
evidence, so you never wanted to<br />
give up.<br />
You certainly had strong<br />
support from the wider community.<br />
We did and, if I could make<br />
special mention of Ruth Dyson.<br />
Since we’ve moved she’s visited<br />
our school every single month,<br />
no matter where we were. She’s<br />
been part of the team, along with<br />
the board, that’s really helped<br />
keep our school open. Every<br />
month, without fail, no matter<br />
what was happening, she calls in<br />
and she sees the staff, the kids. I<br />
think that’s a real measure of a<br />
person.<br />
In your heart of hearts, why<br />
do you think (former education<br />
minister) Hekia Parata didn’t<br />
let you go back to the old site?<br />

Follow election<br />
the<br />
www.star.kiwi<br />
decision to rebuild school in Redcliffs<br />
I THINK she was genuinely<br />
worried about returning us<br />
to that site. She found it hard<br />
to accept that it was right<br />
for our school to return to<br />
there. She wanted to keep<br />
the school open and she did<br />
listen to how important it was<br />
for the community, so we’ve<br />
compromised on this new site.<br />
But the most important thing is<br />
that we’ve kept our school open.<br />
Is there a moment that stands<br />
out over this whole time of battling<br />
to stay?<br />
One of the biggest days was<br />
July last year when (Hekia<br />
Parata) said she was going to do<br />
more work but that our school<br />
was going to stay open. As a<br />
leader, you always hope for the<br />
best and prepare for the worst. I<br />
guess I was mentally preparing,<br />
while still very hopeful, and it<br />
was such an amazing day to hear<br />
the news that our huge amount<br />
of work on submissions and petitions<br />
and going for visits with her<br />
regularly had paid off. That was<br />
huge, because otherwise we were<br />
facing the prospect of closing at<br />
the end of the year, having to put<br />
our kids in different schools and<br />
tell the staff they had no jobs.<br />
That was a huge day. November<br />
was big because we found out we<br />
were moving sites. And then last<br />
week was the final certainty – the<br />
city council agreed to the land<br />
swap and we had a site to go to.<br />
Three big moments.<br />
When did you win the competition<br />
to get Ed Sheeran to visit?<br />
Just after we heard the news<br />
that we were going to close was<br />
when the Ed Sheeran competition<br />
came around. Our entire<br />
staff, who’d just found out they<br />
FIT: As well as<br />
regular early<br />
morning runs,<br />
Rose McInerney<br />
competed in<br />
the 48km Big<br />
Easy Marathon<br />
in Wanaka.<br />
were potentially losing their jobs,<br />
our entire staff and community<br />
put their heart and soul into winning<br />
that competition. So when<br />
we won, we were completely<br />
under threat of closure and it<br />
was such a proud moment that<br />
everyone had put aside their concerns<br />
and achieved something<br />
really positive for the kids. We<br />
did Edcliffs News, we changed<br />
the words to his songs, we had an<br />
Edcliffs mufti-day, and went all<br />
out making it a good time for the<br />
kids. It exemplifies how the staff<br />
operate when under hardship<br />
– turning something really bad<br />
into something awesome. Then<br />
we won and he came to visit the<br />
kids, which just lifted everyone’s<br />
spirits, as well as raising the profile<br />
of what was happening with<br />
the school.<br />
You must feel like you live<br />
and breath your job sometimes?<br />
What do you do to relax?<br />
I’m really lucky. I’ve got three<br />
boys and a very understanding<br />
husband and we definitely have<br />
family time on the weekend. I<br />
run every morning, around the<br />
neighbourhood, often with my<br />
dog Dibley – he’s a spanador<br />
(spaniel/labrador cross). I play<br />
netball for the Kia Toa club. So<br />
I do things to switch off from<br />
school. The boys are 17, 13 and 8.<br />
My husband is awesome; he’s got<br />
a massive job, too, as a national<br />
manager for NZI Insurance.<br />
You got your teaching degree<br />
from Victoria University – are<br />
you a Wellingtonian?<br />
No, I grew up in Nelson, Tahunanui,<br />
by the beach. Dad worked<br />
for a legal firm and mum was<br />
a nurse. My husband got a job<br />
here and we moved here from the<br />
North Island about 16 years ago.<br />
Is teaching in your blood?<br />
Not from mum and dad, but<br />
I’ve got three sisters who are<br />
teachers – one in early childhood,<br />
one in primary and one in<br />
secondary. I’m actually from a<br />
family of six girls, three of us live<br />
here. It was awesome growing up<br />
with five sisters; you learn a lot<br />
of problem-solving skills when<br />
you’re part of a big family – how<br />
to argue well and how to bounce<br />
back from things. I’m the second<br />
youngest. I met my husband<br />
through teachers college – I was<br />
there with his sister, we used to<br />
play squash together.<br />
If I asked one of your<br />
colleagues to describe you, what<br />
do you think they’d say?<br />
Energetic, fair, hopefully<br />
supportive, inclusive (laughs).<br />
My deputy principal’s sitting here<br />
telling me things. It’s hard saying<br />
things about yourself.<br />
There’s only a couple more<br />
weeks until the October<br />
holidays – do you have any<br />
plans?<br />
My family and I are going to<br />
Vietnam – all of us, my husband<br />
and my three lads. A little bit<br />
of adventuring but quite a lot<br />
of beach-time I think. We’ve<br />
worked pretty hard this year so<br />
I’m ready for a bit of a breather.<br />

My Life in a Religious Cult<br />
By Lilia Tarawa<br />
This personal account, Lilia Tarawa exposes the shocking<br />
secrets of the cult, with its rigid rules and oppressive<br />
control of women. She describes her fear when her<br />
family questioned Gloriavale’s beliefs and practices.<br />
When her parents fled with their children, Lilia was forced<br />
to make a desperate choice: to stay or to leave. No<br />
matter what she chose, she would lose people she<br />
loved. In the outside world, Lilia struggled. Would she<br />
be damned to hell for leaving? How would she learn<br />
to navigate this strange place called ‘the world’? And<br />
would she ever find out the truth about the criminal<br />
convictions against her grandfather.<br />

By Libby Weaver<br />
For so many people today, food is complicated.<br />
They’re told to make `healthy’ choices yet this could<br />
include anything from an apple to a packet of<br />
sugar-free biscuits. They have lost touch with how<br />
much to eat, how often and how their food choices<br />
are impacting on their health - and then there are<br />
those all-consuming moments when they feel like<br />
no amount of food could satisfy their hungry hearts.<br />
The latest book by ten times number one best-selling<br />
author Dr Libby Weaver, What am I Supposed to Eat?,<br />
puts the reader back in control of their food choices.<br />

Call for longer library hours<br />
But don’t<br />
expect it<br />
this year<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
IT COULD be next year<br />
before the opening hours<br />
at Sumner’s new library are<br />
reviewed.<br />
Residents have complained<br />
about the limited weekend<br />
operation, with Saturday,<br />
10am-1pm, the only time it<br />
opens its doors.<br />
Sumner<br />
Residents<br />
Association<br />
spokeswoman<br />
Kimberley<br />
Mossman said<br />
Kimberley<br />
Mossman<br />
many locals<br />
had been<br />
“surprised and<br />
disappointed” at<br />
the opening hours.<br />
“Most we have spoken with<br />
would like the Saturday hours<br />
increased and for the library<br />
to open on Sunday, too,” Ms<br />
Mossman said.<br />
“It’s an issue the association<br />
hopes to resolve with council.”<br />
LYTTELTON<br />
City council head of<br />
libraries and information<br />
Carolyn Robertson said the<br />
operating hours of the city’s<br />
libraries varied according to<br />
demographics.<br />
“Larger-sized library<br />
facilities with extended<br />
collections, services, staffing<br />
and hours of operation<br />
are generally situated in<br />
communities that draw on a<br />
greater population base,” she<br />
said.<br />
“This includes Te Hāpua:<br />

Community and School<br />
Library, Linwood Library and<br />
New Brighton Library.”<br />
Ms Robertson said the<br />
opening hours at Sumner<br />
were based on the needs of<br />
a “smaller community”, and<br />
what was in place prior to the<br />
previous library’s closure.<br />
“Any increases to library<br />
hours . . . would have financial<br />
implications and would need<br />
to go through the Annual Plan<br />
or Long Term Plan process<br />
and include community<br />
consultation,” she said.<br />

BOOKWORM:<br />
Sumner<br />
resident Lucy,<br />

of the first<br />
customers<br />
to visit the<br />
new Sumner<br />
library, which<br />
is open from<br />
10am-1pm on<br />
Saturday.<br />
councillor Sara Templeton said<br />
she would raise the matter at<br />
the next Linwood-Central-<br />
Heathcote Community Board<br />
meeting.<br />
People were disappointed<br />
that the library wasn’t open<br />
for very long on weekends, she<br />
said.<br />
“It’s a fantastic new library,<br />
in a beautiful building and<br />
it’s important that we get the<br />
budget to make it as accessible<br />
as possible.”<br />

Yacht club<br />

•From page 1<br />
“It’s not an automatic effect<br />
but there are things happening.<br />
Grant Dalton and some of the<br />
Team New Zealand crew are<br />
coming down for a fundraising<br />
event next month,” Mr Ineson<br />
said.<br />
“They are supporting the<br />
Pleasant Point Yacht Club<br />
rebuild. It’s all part and parcel of<br />
promoting yachting and we<br />
hope it will have ongoing<br />
benefits.”<br />
Sailing from Moncks <strong>Bay</strong><br />
since 1891, Christchurch Yacht<br />
Club is one of the oldest in the<br />
country.<br />
It famously produced New<br />
Zealand’s first Olympic sailing<br />
gold medallists, Peter Mander<br />
and Jack Cropp, in Melbourne in<br />
1956, and in 1992 Lesley Egnot<br />
won a silver in Barcelona.<br />
A new $1.17 million boatshed<br />
is set to be completed by<br />
Christmas, replacing the one<br />
demolished in June, <strong>20</strong>11.<br />
NEVER IN his wildest dreams<br />
did Christ’s College Old Boy<br />
Hamish Thomas think he would<br />
be awarded a scholarship to<br />
Cambridge University.<br />
But in just a few weeks time<br />
the 18-year-old will be at Corpus<br />
Christi College, studying<br />
physics, mathematics and chemistry<br />
on a three-year Girdlers<br />
Scholarship for undergraduate<br />
study.<br />
“Throughout the whole application<br />
process, I never, ever<br />
thought I would win the thing.<br />
I couldn’t believe it when I was<br />
told earlier this year,” says Hamish<br />
who completed year 13 last<br />
year, and will leave Christchurch<br />
on Saturday.<br />
From Mt Pleasant, Hamish<br />
went to Redcliffs School and<br />
Cathedral Grammar before<br />
winning a Somes Exhibition<br />
Scholarship to Christ’s College,<br />
where maths and sciences<br />
proved his specialty areas.<br />
Those same disciplines will be<br />
his focus while on the Girdlers<br />
Scholarship, one of which<br />
is provided annually for an<br />
outstanding New Zealand applicant.<br />
The Worshipful Company of<br />
Girdlers has had an association<br />
with New Zealand since 1933<br />
and in 1950 at the instigation of<br />
the 3 rd Viscount Brentford, the<br />
company established a scholarship<br />
for an outstanding New<br />
Zealander to go to England to<br />
study for a degree.<br />
“I’m looking forward to the<br />
challenges and changes ahead<br />
and can’t wait to meet the diverse<br />
and brilliant people studying<br />
and working at Cambridge,”<br />
Hamish says.<br />
“I think I was chosen because<br />

SKILLS: Former Christ’s College and Redcliffs School student<br />
Hamish Thomas has won a three-year scholarship to study<br />
maths and sciences at Cambridge University in England.<br />
I excelled in different areas. The<br />
combination of my academic<br />
and cultural strengths possibly<br />
made me a unique candidate.<br />
“The selectors showed great<br />
interest in theatresports, which<br />
fosters creative and flexible<br />
thinking. I suggested these were<br />
very important skills for a scientist<br />
and I think they agreed.”<br />
Hamish’s theatresports team<br />
from Christ’s College won the<br />
South Island competition and<br />
the debating team he took part<br />
in from years 10-13, won the<br />
Russell McVeagh Canterbury<br />
Regional Competition last year<br />
and came second in the interschool<br />
competition.<br />
For Hamish, the move to Britain<br />
and into one of the world’s<br />
most prestigious universities, is<br />
still slightly unreal.<br />
“I’ll start studies on October 3<br />
and because I’m living in a normal<br />
university hall of residence,<br />
I imagine it’s going to be fairly<br />
easy to meet other students and<br />
make friends.<br />
The style of lecture delivery is<br />
going to be different from what<br />
he experienced earlier this year<br />
when completing a semester<br />
in health sciences at Otago<br />
University.<br />
“There were hundreds in some<br />
of those lectures, but I think at<br />
Cambridge there will be lots of<br />
tutorials with teaching fellows<br />
and professors.”<br />
With a brother at Auckland<br />
University studying animation<br />
and design, a father who is a<br />
civil engineer and a mother who<br />
is head of english at Christ’s<br />
College, Hamish says he will<br />
miss family, friends and the<br />
New Zealand connection.<br />

our community<br />
Spring is here<br />
By the time this edition prints it will be less than a week until the beginning of Daylight Savings! With<br />
<strong>September</strong> – November being a peak selling period in NZ there is a surge in property listings as owners<br />
want to sell and make new plans as they approach the end of the year. If you are preparing to sell your<br />
home these simple tips will help you secure top dollar. It’s the combination of every component of the<br />
sale process that contributes to a premium result.<br />
• Clear kitchen benches of all clutter, pop toasters and kettles on a tray that can be moved in<br />
and out of the cupboard with ease<br />
• Take magnets, and paperwork off fridges<br />
• Clear away clutter from bedroom side tables, leaving only bedside lamps and one accessory<br />
• Tidy linen cupboards and kitchen cupboards, if they are bulging at the seams it gives the<br />
buyer an impression of less room<br />
• Get rid of all unnecessary cables, wires, cords and chargers. If they have to be seen, invest in<br />
cord organisers to keep them together as one unit<br />
• Invest in a few cute baskets that you can bundle loose items into and pop onto a shelf in the<br />
garage or cupboard for open homes<br />

LPC’S new staff car park<br />
by the Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
ferry will reduce bus<br />
parking to one space and<br />
remove the informal drop<br />
off area for ferry users.<br />
You said:<br />
YOUR SAY: What do you think of<br />
port car parking. Send your views to sarla.<br />
donovan@starmedia.kiwi<br />
Mark Watson – Lyttelton<br />
Port Company car park to<br />
leave only enough space for<br />
one bus at the wharf? This is<br />
nothing short of LPC sabotaging<br />
public transport in Lyttelton.<br />
If there’s only enough<br />
space for one bus at the wharf<br />
there will be chaos down there.<br />
Both the 535 and the 28 service<br />
the ferry at the wharf. It’s the<br />
end of the trip for the 28 bus,<br />
so it has to wait there between<br />
dropping off passengers for the<br />
ferry, and picking up passengers<br />
from the ferry. The buses<br />
taking passengers home after<br />
work often get held up in traffic,<br />
so it can’t be predicted exactly<br />
when each bus will arrive<br />
at the wharf. It’s not unusual<br />
for two 28 buses to arrive at<br />
the wharf at the same time, or<br />
for the 535 and two 28s to be<br />
there all together. LPC could<br />
have put the car parking for<br />
its new headquarters in many<br />
other places. But it chose to<br />
stick it in the middle of the access<br />
way between the ferry and<br />
Lyttelton town. The comment<br />
from Mr Simmers says it all:<br />
providing an extra bus parking<br />
space “wasn’t a good utilisation<br />
of the land area.” So providing<br />
private car parks for the headquarters<br />
is better utilisation of<br />
that land?<br />
Marcia Bryant – City<br />
Council transport operations<br />
manager says Lyttelton Port<br />
Company headquarters car<br />
park may mean ferry passengers<br />
will have to use the<br />
bus stop on Norwich Quay. No<br />
way. For people who struggle<br />
with stairs, and families with<br />
young children and buggies,<br />
that’s like being dropped off<br />
on Moorhouse Ave to get a<br />
bus from the interchange.<br />
Come on city council ECan,<br />
and LPC – someone please use<br />
some common sense, act with<br />
decency, and ensure there’s<br />
fair public access between the<br />
buses and the ferry.<br />
Kim Glennie – There<br />
should be a quick pick-up/<br />
drop-off zone. I pick up and<br />
drop off my 10-year-old<br />
daughter and I don’t like her<br />
to walk around the edge of the<br />
port by herself. Sometimes I<br />
am delayed by up to 15min<br />
by a red light on the tunnel.<br />
I do park illegally by the bus<br />
stop and run to get her. When<br />
my children were young I<br />
found it difficult to negotiate<br />
the old stairs and overhead<br />
bridge with two pre-schoolers,<br />
a buggy and two car seats. I<br />
can imagine some of the older<br />
generation would appreciate a<br />
close pick up as well. We use<br />
the ferry connecting bus service<br />
on a regular basis and find<br />
its close proximity works well,<br />
especially when it’s raining.<br />
Ann Thornton – I am an<br />
82-year-old Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
resident. I make frequent use<br />
of the ferry and bus to save me<br />
driving into Christchurch and<br />
to provide me with contact<br />
with my neighbours. I also<br />
have a young grandchild who<br />
proudly travels on the ferry on<br />
his own to visit having been<br />
dropped off by parents on<br />
the town side to the service. I<br />
advocate strongly for a modest<br />
sized drop-off/pick-up space<br />
on the Lyttelton jetty. I also<br />
advocate for the retention of<br />
the bus service to the jetty and<br />
space for two buses as the area<br />
is serviced by both 28 and 535<br />
buses.<br />

•From page 11<br />
Alison Ross – I acknowledge<br />
Richard Suggate’s concerns<br />
over the Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
ferry access but he appears to be<br />
unacquainted with important<br />
background detail. In the political<br />
and social maelstrom following<br />
9/11 US Homeland Security<br />
released a series of non-negotiable<br />
security requirements to all ports<br />
worldwide which trans-shipped<br />
goods directly across the United<br />
States border.<br />
Unless security management<br />
was brought up to the required<br />
level ports would be permanently<br />
excluded from all future direct<br />
trans-shipping operations. The<br />
proposed, and since confirmed,<br />
security perimeter includes the<br />
present site of the ferry services,<br />
sounding the inevitable death<br />
knell to all future ferry operations<br />
from that site.<br />
Lyttelton Port Company,<br />
cognisant of potential real and<br />
emotional disruption to residents<br />
consequent to the major security<br />
perimeter changes allowed the<br />
ferry operations to continue on<br />
the site as a temporary measure.<br />
It was my opinion at the time<br />
that although the company was<br />
attempting to ease the public into<br />
accepting the security changes, by<br />
not grasping the nettle it created<br />
a false sense among Diamond<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> residents that this could,<br />
with lobbying, ensure the ferry<br />
site would remain permanently<br />
below Oxford St.<br />
LPC would have been better to<br />
announce a planned move of the<br />
ferry operations to the west of the<br />
inner harbour at Dampier <strong>Bay</strong><br />
immediately as talks were already<br />
under way to develop that area<br />
as a dedicated public recreation<br />
area, with yacht berthing facilities,<br />
food services and a ferry/bus<br />
terminus along with a covered<br />
walkway from the ferry.<br />
I note that discussions on the<br />
bus service included continuing<br />
the circular route around the Lyttelton<br />
commercial centre either<br />
before or after the terminus pickup/drop-off.<br />
The present situation<br />
has not been helped by a less than<br />
objective intransigence by certain<br />
of the former Lyttelton/Mount<br />
Herbert Community Board to the<br />
necessary and inevitable changes.<br />
Had the proposed ferry terminal<br />
changes been announced earlier<br />
they could have been included<br />
in phase one of the Dampier <strong>Bay</strong><br />
redevelopment. I continue to be<br />
disappointed when hearing complaints<br />
from Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
residents about having to walk<br />
from Dampier <strong>Bay</strong> to London St<br />
in the future.<br />
They need to recognise the<br />
importance of Port Lyttelton to the<br />
whole of Canterbury. The physical<br />
centre of the port is around<br />
Dampier <strong>Bay</strong>. Ferry patrons should<br />
be aware that residents from West<br />
Lyttelton have been walking to Lyttelton’s<br />
commercial centre without<br />
complaint for over 100 years.<br />

Calder Green Reserve opened<br />
THE HISTORY of Calder Green<br />
Reserve is now on display for all<br />
to see.<br />
A new sign explaining the significance<br />
of the lower Heathcote<br />
reserve was unveiled recently.<br />
Formerly known as Devils<br />
Elbow, Calder Green Reserve is<br />
a salt marsh and riparian area<br />
lying between Ferry and Tunnel<br />
Rds.<br />
Forest and Bird maintains the<br />
area with input from the city<br />
council and community groups.<br />
Heathcote ward city councillor<br />
Sara Templeton was at the opening<br />
of the project.<br />
Her daughter has been involved<br />
through her local guide<br />
group, which has planted swathes<br />
of ngaio over the past few years.<br />
She complimented Forest and<br />
Bird on the work done so far.<br />
“I’m looking forward to all<br />
the groups working together on<br />
a range of challenges including<br />
educating dog owners and the<br />
wider public about the native<br />
wildlife present in the area and<br />
how to protect it.”<br />
Mick Ingram the volunteer<br />
manager of the Calder Green Reserve<br />
project is designing habitat<br />
to suit all the wildlife of the area<br />
and has a particular soft-spot for<br />
lizards.<br />
He’s hopeful that as people visit<br />
OPEN: Sara Templeton, Mick Ingram, and Colleen Philip cut<br />
the ribbon at the opening of Calder Green Reserve.<br />
the reserve and learn more about<br />
the area, “they will come to love<br />
its quiet serenity as I do.”<br />
“The hope is more people will<br />
become kaitiaki (caretakers) of<br />
this stretch of river and help its<br />
wildlife thrive into the future,”<br />
Mr Ingram said.<br />

NEW!<br />
CONSERVATION: Lyttelton Primary School pupils Maia, Rose, Zoey and<br />
Ridley with some of the traps they received from DOC and the Lyttelton Port<br />
Company.<br />
New traps, bait helps<br />
pupils control pests<br />
TRAPS AND bait costing<br />
about $8000 will help<br />
reduce rat, possum and<br />
stoat populations on<br />
Banks Peninsula.<br />
The Little River Trap<br />
Library and Lyttleton<br />
Primary School have been<br />
given more than 50 traps<br />
by the Department of<br />
Conservation.<br />
Conservation Minister<br />
Maggie Barry and<br />
Associate Conservation<br />
Minister Nicky Wagner<br />
presented the traps at a<br />
Predator Free <strong>20</strong>50 event<br />
last week.<br />
Lyttelton Primary<br />
School received 15 traps,<br />
including five possum<br />
traps, from the Lyttelton<br />
Port Company.<br />
The school plans to start<br />
trapping on land above<br />
the township that’s owned<br />
by LPC.<br />
Said Ms Barry: “The<br />
easy-to-use traps will<br />
enable the school children<br />
to take their conservation<br />
work to the next level.”<br />
The Little River Trap<br />
Library was the first of<br />
its kind in New Zealand<br />
and lends traps for free to<br />
people wanting to protect<br />
wildlife on their properties<br />
It was given 40 traps<br />
and bait, enabling it to<br />
continue its work.<br />
Ms Barry said the two<br />
projects were examples of<br />
“collaboration and tireless<br />
dedication,” helping to<br />
eradicate predators and<br />
create pockets of safe habitat.<br />
Ms Wagner said there<br />
were signs the programme<br />
was already having an<br />
impact.<br />
“Tui are beginning to<br />
prosper on the peninsula<br />
and the white-flippered<br />
penguin colony in Flea<br />
<strong>Bay</strong>/Pohatu has doubled<br />
in size since this work<br />
began,”<br />
“Eventually, I believe<br />
these predator-free areas<br />
will expand to cover<br />
the whole of Lyttelton,<br />
Banks Peninsula, wider<br />
Christchurch and<br />
beyond,” Ms Wagner said.<br />
“I’m confident that by<br />
<strong>20</strong>50 we’ll have a rat, stoat<br />
and possum-free New<br />
Zealand.”<br />
Artist’s uses rural artefacts to<br />
raise funds for children’s home<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
LYTTELTON artist<br />
Lisa Patterson has fond<br />
memories of fossicking<br />
through old farm sheds<br />
and barns to find faded<br />
certificates, tarnished<br />
medals and dented<br />
trophies.<br />
She said the objects<br />
symbolise past successes<br />
at A&P shows, dressage<br />
events, best bull and other<br />
farm day achievements.<br />
“I like trophies. I sometimes<br />
go to farms and I’m<br />
drawn to the certificates,<br />
plaques, cups and awards<br />
that line walls or shelves,<br />
seemingly forgotten,” Lisa<br />
says.<br />
Such memories have<br />
inspired the Lyttelton<br />
artist’s contribution to this<br />
year’s Sculpture on the<br />
Peninsula – a collection<br />
of trophies carved out of<br />
local oak with lead and<br />
plaster elements.<br />
She’s hoping her work<br />
will be displayed in the<br />
stables at Louden Farm,<br />
Teddington, where the<br />
biennial fundraiser for<br />
Cholmondeley Children’s<br />
Home will be held in<br />
November.<br />
Contributors are encouraged<br />
to produce site<br />
specific works to display in<br />
the paddocks, sheds, farm<br />
buildings and among the<br />
trees on the farm’s varied<br />
landscapes.<br />
From 95 submissions,<br />
Christchurch Art Gallery<br />
curator Lara Strongman<br />
and landscape architect<br />
Dany Kamo chose about<br />
62 works, with artists<br />
including Paul Dibble,<br />
Cheryl Lucas, Mark<br />
Whyte, Hannah Kidd,<br />
Aaron Te Rangiao, Alison<br />
Erikson and Sam Mahon.<br />
Materials range from<br />
dead animal carcasses to<br />
bronze, steel and ceramics,<br />
and prices go from $100<br />
up to about $30,000.<br />

Horotane Valley’s biggest National fan $100,000<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
IF YOU’VE seen a friendly<br />
looking chap parked on the<br />
side of the road with a National<br />
Party sign waving to motorists<br />
– that’s Rae Mills.<br />
The 76-year-old has been<br />
sitting on the side of busy roads<br />
at peak travel times promoting<br />
National every election for the<br />
last decade.<br />
The Horotane<br />
Valley resident<br />
has been volunteering<br />
for the<br />
party for much<br />
longer.<br />
Mr Mills (left),<br />
who moved to<br />
Christchurch in 1984, wasn’t<br />
always a National supporter.<br />
He switched from Labour<br />
about 40 years ago when he was<br />
chairman of Southland’s Otatara<br />
Kindergarten committee.<br />
National had been in Government<br />
and told Mr Mills it had<br />
pledged money towards a loan<br />
for the kindergarten.<br />
But when Labour won the<br />
1972 general election, Mr Mills<br />
was told the Government<br />
did not have the money in its<br />
budget.<br />
Mr Mills said he then<br />
marched into National’s Wallace<br />
MP Brian Talboys’ office to<br />
see if he could help.<br />
“He said I’ll sort that out for<br />
you,” Mr Mills said.<br />
“Eleven days later I got a reply<br />
from Education Minister Phil<br />
Amos, saying approval has been<br />
granted for your loan.<br />
“I was quite impressed, because<br />
I was Labour.”<br />
He has been volunteering for<br />
National ever since.<br />
Mr Mills has been parking<br />
on the side of Ferry Rd in Ferrymead,<br />
Halswell Rd and State<br />
Highway 1 between Christchurch<br />
and Amberley waving to<br />
passersby since July.<br />
He does it on weekdays for a<br />
couple of hours in the mornings<br />
and evenings.<br />
“About 80 per cent of people<br />
wave,” he said.<br />
“I believe in what I’m doing, I<br />
know it’s working.”<br />
His role was to encourage<br />
people to party vote National,<br />
followed by its candidate for<br />
each electorate, he said.<br />
DEDICATED:<br />
Rae Mills, of<br />
Horotane Valley,<br />
spends a couple<br />
of hours in<br />
the morning<br />
and evening<br />
promoting<br />
National for<br />
the general<br />
election.<br />
PHOTO: MARTIN<br />
HUNTER<br />
“It really is about people ticking<br />
both boxes.”<br />
He said the outcome of the<br />
<strong>September</strong> 23 election would be<br />
tight – but he hoped National<br />
would come out on top.<br />
Mr Mills, who is a former<br />
builder and now works at Mitre<br />
10 Mega Ferrymead, said he was<br />
happy to continue volunteering<br />
during election time if his wife<br />
Pat says it’s okay.<br />
“I’m still fit and well and able<br />
to do it.”<br />
plan for<br />
Allandale<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
A $100,000 regeneration project<br />
around the headwaters of the<br />
Allandale Stream is starting to show<br />
positive results.<br />
The Allandale Stream Reserve<br />
Project aims to regenerate native<br />
bush and riparian vegetation at the<br />
stream headwaters to provide good<br />
habitat for native fish, birds and<br />
invertebrates.<br />
Since <strong>20</strong>11 more than 4.5km of<br />
livestock fencing has been installed<br />
to keep stock out of the stream and<br />
about 12,000 trees, shrubs and native<br />
grasses planted.<br />
Project manager Denis Aldridge<br />
is the general manager at Living<br />
Springs Camp and Conference Centre,<br />
which sits on 400 hectares of<br />
land and which includes Allandale<br />
Stream.<br />
“It’s a big project to plant that<br />
many plants,” he said. “We’ve had<br />
the limited service army volunteers,<br />
various youth groups, holiday camp<br />
groups, prison groups.”<br />
The Banks Peninsula Water Zone<br />
Committee have funded $115,141<br />
towards the project.<br />
Values-wise, says Mr Aldridge,<br />
this is where he wants Living<br />
Springs to go.<br />

Planned approach to replanting<br />
As National<br />
Party MP<br />
Nuk Korako<br />
writes, Te<br />
Tapuwai o<br />
Rakau Trust<br />
will leave<br />
a legacy<br />
for future<br />
generations<br />
It is three days until the election.<br />
This will be a busy three days<br />
as my team and I take our last<br />
chance of getting our message<br />
out there – that only National<br />
can continue the strong growth<br />
in the economy that allows us<br />
to improve public services and<br />
support our most vulnerable<br />
New Zealanders into better<br />
lives.<br />
Many people like having multiple<br />
MPs serving the Port Hills<br />
electorate, so we are making sure<br />
they know that the best way to<br />
keep an MP in both Government<br />
and opposition is to give<br />
their electorate vote to me, Nuk<br />
Korako.<br />
But today I want to talk about<br />
something local, and very close<br />
to my heart. That is the replanting<br />
of the Port Hills.<br />
After the fires earlier this year,<br />
what became really apparent<br />
to me was that there are many<br />
groups doing an awesome job of<br />
HELP: Replanting efforts on the Port Hills need to be<br />
co-ordinated.<br />
providing trees and getting volunteers<br />
to replant the damaged<br />
areas of our hills.<br />
But to date there hasn’t been<br />
a structured approach to ensure<br />
that we replant the Port Hills<br />
in a way that meets cultural<br />
and ecological best practice.<br />
So I have been working with a<br />
group of like-minded and very<br />
passionate people to establish<br />
a trust that can assist with cocoordinating<br />
planned cultural<br />
and ecological reforestation<br />
programs.<br />
That work came to fruition<br />
earlier this month, with the<br />
launch of Te Tapuwae o Rakau<br />
Trust (The Tree Footprints<br />
Trust.) The trust was launched<br />
with the symbolic planting<br />
of a tree at the Christchurch<br />
Adventure Park, and is now<br />
working with already established<br />
organisations, Ngai Tahu and<br />
landowners to plan the first<br />
planting.<br />
I believe that this co-ordinated<br />
approach by the trust, to engage<br />
with all groups, can only enhance<br />
the great work done by all.<br />
We have the opportunity to<br />
leave a legacy of replanted and<br />
new native forests that match the<br />
ecological and cultural footprint<br />
of the Port Hills, and encourage<br />
our native plants and wildlife to<br />
flourish.<br />
Akaroa go from film<br />
sets to the stage<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
FROM DESIGNING costumes<br />
to fit Orlando Bloom to helping<br />
create blockbuster film sets –<br />
Akaroa’s John Harding and<br />
Lesley Burkes-Harding know<br />
how to transform a show into a<br />
full visual experience.<br />
Audiences at the<br />
Isaac Theatre Royal<br />
have been seeing an<br />
endless stream of<br />
costumes embedded<br />
Lesley<br />
Burkes-<br />
Harding<br />
John<br />
Harding<br />
with sequins and<br />
neo-Gothic style<br />
sets designed by the<br />
Akaroa couple in<br />
Showbiz Christchurch’s<br />
latest production<br />
of Sister Act.<br />
Hundreds of costumes<br />
were designed<br />
by Burkes-Harding<br />
for the show, while<br />
her husband created<br />
the set which has<br />
toured all over the country.<br />
Between them, they have 65<br />
years of experience working in<br />
television, consortium productions<br />
and major films including<br />
Avatar, King Kong and The Lord<br />
of the Rings.<br />
While working on The Hobbit,<br />
Burkes-Harding designed<br />
the costumes for Bloom in his<br />
role as the elf Legolas.<br />
Like most of the productions<br />
the couple have worked on, the<br />
design for Sister Act has been a<br />
large undertaking.<br />
“It is always a big job . . . there<br />
are many hundreds of sequin<br />
fabrics that I bought for that<br />
show,” Burkes-Harding said.<br />
She said in theatre, costumes<br />
need to be sturdy and well<br />
designed to suit the different<br />
people who wear them.<br />
It is similar for Harding, who<br />
said every set he designs needs<br />
to be “elastic” to adapt to each<br />
venue on which it is staged.<br />
“One of the first things was<br />
solving how to do multiple scene<br />
changes, so I came up with the<br />
idea of a double conveyor belt,”<br />
he said.<br />
Other key elements in the set<br />
include the use of LED lighting<br />
to recreate the “exquisite” quality<br />
of the stained-glass church<br />
windows, and a narthex that he<br />
found in a recycling yard near<br />
Rangiora, which came from<br />
church rubble after the February<br />
22, <strong>20</strong>11, earthquake.<br />
•The show ends on<br />
Saturday<br />
Expect night-time traffic delays at the Lyttelton Tunnel<br />
If you are driving at night through the Lyttelton Tunnel,<br />
expect occasional delays from later this month through<br />
until December <strong>20</strong>18.<br />
For a few nights each month, just one traffic lane in the tunnel will be open and on<br />
occasions both traffic lanes will need to be closed.<br />
These traffic lane closures are required as work begins on a $28.7 million fire<br />
protection upgrade inside the Lyttelton Tunnel, to increase the safety and<br />
resilience of this essential freight route for both Christchurch and Canterbury.<br />
A project of this scale and complexity makes some traffic lane closures inside the<br />
tunnel unavoidable. They are needed so hundreds of water nozzles that are an<br />
integral part of the fire protection upgrade can be installed in the tunnel ceiling.<br />
To minimise disruptions for tunnel users, the work will be done at night when<br />
traffic flows are lightest.<br />
HOW TO PLAN FOR THESE DELAYS<br />
• A three-monthly calendar for all planned night-time single lane closures<br />
and full closures will be available at nzta.govt.nz/projects/lyttelton-tunnel/<br />
• Lane closure details will be displayed on electronic message boards at the<br />
tunnel at least two days before they happen.<br />
• Closures are planned to the best of the project team’s ability, but may be<br />
subject to change.<br />
• Allow extra time for tunnel travel on these dates.<br />
• Emergency access through the tunnel will still be provided during all<br />
traffic lane closures.<br />
• Most full tunnel traffic lane closures will be from March <strong>20</strong>18.<br />
• Real-time traffic information for the Lyttelton Tunnel area can be found<br />
at www.tfc.govt.nz<br />
For more information about the Lyttelton Tunnel fire protection upgrade, go to www.nzta.govt.nz/projects/lyttelton-tunnel/<br />
Find up-to-date information on road conditions, delays and closures at www.nzta.govt.nz/traffic and on the Transport Agency’s<br />
official Twitter and Facebook pages www.nzta.govt.nz/contact-us/connect-with-us/.<br />

This term pupils from the junior syndicate, Te Kohanga, at Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> School have been working on their poetry writing<br />
and performance skills. They have been writing rhyming poems, acrostic poems, list poems and Who Am I? riddles.<br />
Pupils performed their work to a supportive audience at the school’s performance cafe.<br />
Standing on the stage and speaking into the microphone allowed them to work on their volume, clarity, fluency, expression and<br />
posture. The teachers and the audience thought they were amazing.<br />
