FROM<br />

THE<br />

EDITOR’S<br />

DESK<br />

SLEEPY CHURCH <strong>Bay</strong> may not<br />

be so sleepy anymore.<br />

We reveal today (see page 1)<br />

plans to build a commercial<br />

development there which would<br />

include a supermarket, four shops,<br />

a coffee shop, and a 30-seat cinema<br />

behind the On the Spot store.<br />

There would also be <strong>11</strong>1 car parks.<br />

And needless to say the plans<br />

are causing a stir.<br />

If you read the feedback (see<br />

page 10) to our article last week<br />

over an idea to turn the failed<br />

Maori Village site at Ferrymead<br />

into a dog park, then it’s a nobrainer.<br />

The verdict is unanimous – dogs<br />

should be let loose on the site.<br />

Readers also have given the<br />

thumbs up to the re-opening of<br />

the Redcliffs Dairy.<br />

It’s all about the ice creams and<br />

of course Minod Vinod’s great<br />

service.<br />

Ferry parking fight continues<br />

• By Emily O’Connell<br />

MORE OPTIONS will be<br />

looked into before bus parking<br />

is decreased at the Diamond<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong> Ferry terminal in<br />

Lyttelton.<br />

It follows a decision by the<br />

Lyttelton Port Company to<br />

reduce bus parking spaces from<br />

three to one and not provide a<br />

pick-up/drop-off zone.<br />

An urgent meeting was held<br />

by the Banks Peninsula Community<br />

Board with the LPC,<br />

Environment Canterbury and<br />

the city council on Monday.<br />

It was decided<br />

at the meeting<br />

that the LPC and<br />

ECan would look<br />

into more options<br />

and come back to<br />

the board in a few<br />

weeks’ time.<br />

Peter Davie<br />

Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong><br />

Residents’<br />

Association<br />

chairman Richard Suggate said<br />

the further investigation is good<br />

but he’s not pessimistic nor optimistic<br />

about the final outcome.<br />

He said the LPC should put<br />

the public interest above their<br />

own.<br />

Community board member<br />

Jed O’Donoghue said he’s<br />

pleased other resolutions will<br />

be considered but ultimately the<br />

DECISIONS: The Lyttelton Port Company and ECan are going<br />

to look into more parking options near the ferry terminal.<br />

PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />

board don’t have the final say.<br />

“At the end of the day we can<br />

only influence them because its<br />

their land,” he said.<br />

An online petition calling for<br />

better public access to the Diamond<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong> ferry terminal<br />

has attracted more than 230<br />

signatures in two weeks.<br />

Set up by the Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong><br />

Residents Association, the<br />

petition calls on the city council<br />

and Environment Canterbury<br />

to “ensure that within 100m of<br />

the Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> ferry<br />

terminal, there is adequate bus<br />

parking on the Lyttelton wharf<br />

and that there is a drop-off/pickup<br />

zone for private vehicles.”<br />

Mr Suggate told a board meeting<br />

two weeks ago that the LPC’s<br />

refusal to provide a drop-off<br />

zone would force the infirm,<br />

disabled or with heavy parcels,<br />

to walk from Norwich Quay.<br />

Port company chief executive<br />

Peter Davie said LPC staff met<br />

with the Banks Peninsula Community<br />

Board on July 31.<br />

Mr Davie previously said the<br />

they are working with ECan to<br />

ensure it has minimum impact<br />

on current services and it will<br />

not affect ferry users at all.<br />

He said an upgrade of the existing<br />

Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> Ferry<br />

facilities will take place at the<br />

same time as the LPC staff car<br />

park is being built adjacent to<br />

Waterfront House and the work<br />

should be completed before<br />

Christmas.<br />

“We will work with Black Cat<br />

Cruises to enable people to have<br />

access. If there are particular<br />

items that require to be around<br />

50m closer to the ferry terminal<br />

than they can achieve via the<br />

stairs, then we will accommodate<br />

them through the port,’’ Mr<br />

Davie said.<br />

Black Cat Cruises chief executive<br />

Paul Milligan said they had<br />

been involved with discussions<br />

about the issue with LPC and<br />

ECan.<br />

“An ideal site is to move us<br />

down to the west end with the<br />

new marina, which will be new<br />

and there will be room for buses<br />

to move around. But we’re not<br />

going to get that in the near future<br />

so we just need to make the<br />

best of the facilities we currently<br />

have.”<br />

He said that was part of LPC’s<br />

long term plan, but would take<br />

time to come into fruition.<br />

PROPOSAL: The area where a<br />

new complex may be built.<br />

Big plans for<br />

Church <strong>Bay</strong><br />

•From page 1<br />

“Seeing something that kind of<br />

looks like a downtown shopping<br />

mall is a bit of a shock and not<br />

really what people appreciate.”<br />

Plans for the development show,<br />

once completed, it is intended the<br />

operators of the On The Spot store<br />

would become proprietors of the<br />

supermarket.<br />

Landscaping would include red<br />

beech, pohutukawa and cabbage<br />

trees. Timber fences would be<br />

built along the boundaries to<br />

reduce sound for next door<br />

Community board keeps Sumner pool afloat<br />

• By Bridget Rutherford<br />

THE SUMNER community<br />

pool committee’s finances<br />

will stay afloat after a<br />

recommendation not to give<br />

it funding for repairs was<br />

dismissed.<br />

The Linwood-Central-<br />

Heathcote Community Board<br />

unanimously decided last<br />

week to grant $4000 to the<br />

Sumner Community Pool<br />

Inc towards the cost of fixing<br />

leaks.<br />

Originally city council staff<br />

said the application requesting<br />

$6688 did not fit the criteria<br />

for the board’s discretionary<br />

response fund because it was<br />

“capital works”.<br />

Staff recommended<br />

the board decline<br />

the request. But at<br />

the board’s meeting,<br />

city councillor Yani<br />

Johanson moved a<br />

motion to grant money<br />

from the fund anyway.<br />

He said the $4000<br />

grant was in line with<br />

what the group received<br />

last year.<br />

“I am very supportive of the<br />

Sumner pool as this has been a<br />

tremendous community asset<br />

Yani<br />

Johanson<br />

over a number of years run by<br />

dedicated people in the local<br />

area.”<br />

The board also<br />

requested staff advice<br />

on the availability of<br />

chemicals for the pool.<br />

Work to fix leaks in<br />

the 25m outdoor pool<br />

would cost $6688. The<br />

pool committee would<br />

make up the shortfall.<br />

Board member<br />

Darrell Latham<br />

seconded Cr Johanson’s<br />

motion.<br />

He said in spite of the<br />

staff recommendation, the<br />

board recognised it was<br />

important for the work to be<br />

done because the pool was<br />

a “well run and widely used<br />

community asset”.<br />

“I’m thrilled with this<br />

outcome as this is such a well<br />

used community facility.”<br />

Most of the running costs<br />

for the community-owned<br />

and managed pool come from<br />

key rental, with about 360 keys<br />

available for local families to<br />

rent at $150 a season.<br />

•The pool is due to open<br />

for the summer season on<br />

November <strong>11</strong> at 7am.<br />

Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> ferry wharf injury fears<br />

•From page 1<br />

Mr Milligan said they carried<br />

about 2000 passengers a<br />

week.<br />

He said they wanted a floating<br />

pontoon, like on the Lyttelton<br />

side, but he understood<br />

it wasn’t a quick fix.<br />

“We just wanted to start the<br />

conversations around it.”<br />

The board asked city council<br />

staff to look into whether any<br />

maintenance could improve<br />

safety and access.<br />

City council neighbourhood<br />

and sports parks operations<br />

manager Al Hardy said Black<br />

Cat had raised accessibility<br />

concerns about the wharf.<br />

“Council will respond to any<br />

concerns about safety as they<br />

arise.”<br />

Mr Hardy said there was<br />

$4.24 million budgeted in the<br />

long term plan to replace the<br />

wharf. But that was spread<br />

between 2022-2025.<br />

“If funds where bought<br />

forward in the long term<br />

plan, to replace the wharf, it<br />

is highly likely other projects<br />

would need to be pushed out;<br />

this is a decision for council<br />

to make during the LTP<br />

process.”<br />

He said any redesign would<br />

include maximising safety and<br />

ease of use.<br />

The city council had also<br />

received a complaint recently<br />

about the slipperiness of the<br />

dinghy ramp on the wharf,<br />

which was inspected and<br />

cleaned, Mr Hardy said.<br />

Mr Milligan said their ideal<br />

situation was for the wharf’s<br />

replacement to be brought<br />

forward.<br />

Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong><br />

Community Association<br />

chairman Richard Suggate<br />

said some people who were<br />

elderly, had young children<br />

or were disabled, chose not to<br />

take the ferry because of the<br />

access issues. He welcomed the<br />

city council looking into the<br />

issue.<br />

“It’s an important lifeline for<br />

the community.”<br />

Fun to be had at gala<br />

SPRING HAS sprung, and<br />

Heathcote Valley School is<br />

gearing up for their annual<br />

twilight gala.<br />

It’s the main fundraising event<br />

for the school and organiser Jina<br />

Russell said she’d been planning<br />

since June for a “brilliant”<br />

community get-together which<br />

usually attracted around 2500<br />

people.<br />

“I really love the atmosphere<br />

of getting it ready and everyone<br />

helping out. And just seeing<br />

kids running around having fun<br />

and families relaxing and being<br />

able to catch up.”<br />

This was her first year<br />

running the event, which was<br />

“scary, as the previous years<br />

it has been an amazing lady<br />

called Mel. I’ve got bit shoes to<br />

fill.”<br />

The Friday night timeslot<br />

made for a “relaxed, after-work<br />

environment for families,” Ms<br />

Russell said. “It’s a great way to<br />

end the week.”<br />

The evening involves games<br />

and activities to suit all ages, live<br />

entertainment and music from<br />

school and community groups,<br />

stalls, food, raffles, chocolate<br />

wheel and bake sale.<br />

A silent auction will run all<br />

night and there are mystery<br />

COMMUNITY: The Heathcote Valley School kapa haka group<br />

will perform at the opening of this year’s twilight gala.<br />

boxes to buy as well. “You are<br />

guaranteed to double your<br />

money,” said Ms Russell<br />

Local companies and services<br />

have donated over $7,000 worth<br />

of prizes for the auctions.<br />

“We have a fantastic array<br />

of craft stalls this year. (People<br />

can) support local makers and<br />

even do some early Christmas<br />

shopping.”<br />

Ms Russell is hoping the gala<br />

will raise $15,000 this year,<br />

which would go towards school<br />

repairs.<br />

Your Local Views<br />

Readers respond to the<br />

article regarding a lobby<br />

effort to get a dog park for<br />

Ferrymead<br />

Cherry Daly – Regarding the<br />

proposed dedicated dog park at<br />

Ferrymead. I agree that the eastern<br />

suburbs are in dire need of a<br />

dedicated dog park. This site is<br />

central to the region and would<br />

be absolutely perfect. Many<br />

thanks to city councillor Yani Johanson<br />

for making this proposal<br />

and hoping that the notoriously<br />

anti-dog city council will see<br />

their way clear to approving this<br />

as soon as possible.<br />

Michael Wilson – This is a<br />

brilliant idea. I live in the area<br />

and frequently take my dogs to<br />

this area for exercise. I’m sure<br />

this will go some way to controlling<br />

the rabbits and stopping the<br />

dirt bike guys being annoying<br />

early evening. Bravo to the person<br />

who thought of this.<br />

Gayel Marquet – That<br />

sounds like a fabulous idea but<br />

the reason dogs love the beach<br />

is that owners do too. Give the<br />

owners a major unique reason<br />

and features (a pond to splash<br />

in) to attract them to Ferrymead<br />

and then educate them to be off<br />

the beach and I’m all for it – and<br />

I don’t even have a dog. Also<br />

re the article next to this about<br />

skateboarding . . . here we go<br />

again, one nimby (not in my<br />

backyard) spoiling it for all –<br />

give Sumner kids a place to go.<br />

Paula Mayer and her dog<br />

Frankie – I wish to support a<br />

dog park at Ferrymead – to have<br />

an alternative to the beach.<br />

Jo Wilson – I was so happy<br />

to read the article regarding a<br />

proposal to turn the old Maori<br />

Village site at Ferrymead into<br />

a dog park. I have lived in Mt<br />

Pleasant for a number of years<br />

and have often thought that the<br />

site would be perfect for a dog<br />

park. I walk my dog around<br />

there on a regular basis and<br />

would definitely use it even<br />

more if it were made more dog<br />

friendly. The eastern and hill<br />

suburbs including Lyttelton are<br />

woefully lacking when it comes<br />

to designated dog parks and I<br />

PLAN: A report on whether the former Tamaki Maori Village site in Ferrymead could be turned<br />

into a dog park is expected to return before Christmas. ​<br />

have no doubt the Ferrymead Sarah Joseph – I think a<br />

site would be utilised by many dog park in Ferrymead is an<br />

of us dog owners on this side of excellent idea. I’ve been looking<br />

town. Let’s hope the city council for safe places to let our dog have<br />

will make it a reality.<br />

a run off the lead.<br />

Belinda Rooney – Yes, we<br />

support this.<br />

Anthea Wilson – Yes, I<br />

would definitely use it – in fact I<br />

already use it on occasion. Once<br />

it is fully fenced and some of the<br />

potholes filled it will be brilliant.<br />

About a year and half ago I<br />

emailed the city council suggesting<br />

it but never heard back. So it<br />

is a yes from me.<br />

Ann Newsom – I think its<br />

great idea to have a dog park at<br />

Ferrymead on the old Maori village<br />

site. It would be an alternative<br />

to the beach which if full of<br />

dogs at summer week ends.<br />

Jill Reesby – Excellent idea.<br />

Sounds like all of the buildings<br />

have already been removed and<br />

it is now bare land, so this would<br />

be an excellent idea as more and<br />

more restrictions on free running<br />

of dogs is implemented.<br />

Jeffrey Gibson – It already<br />

is a dog park on most weekends.<br />

Nick Stoneman – No to<br />

a dog park got lots of them<br />

already.<br />

Karen Beaumont – If is not<br />

going to be used again, leave the<br />

buildings there and turn it into<br />

a paintball adventure. At least<br />

you can still make money off it.<br />

Plenty of dog parks already, it’s<br />

called the red zone.<br />

Jenny Bradley – Can’t help<br />

thinking this will attract people<br />

who may not like seeing my dog<br />

walking around with a dead rabbit<br />

in his jaws.<br />

Pamela Dixon – I reckon we<br />

have plenty of areas for our dogs<br />

to play, how about a theme park?<br />

Way more exciting.<br />

Tess Lenihan – Best idea<br />

ever. A lot of dog walkers go here<br />

already. Plus it might eliminate<br />

the mass rabbit population up<br />

there.<br />

Anita Beukenholdt – Great<br />

idea but plant the boundary with<br />

edible fruit trees so it has more<br />

than one purpose.<br />

Margaret Nicholas – Great.<br />

We need lots more dog parks.<br />

They bring people together and<br />

are great for socialising. Make it<br />

like the Styx Park.<br />

Hazel Cain – About time our<br />

animals had a great park with<br />

plenty of different smells to find.<br />

Lisa Peters – How fantastic<br />

our dogs love it there. Nice and<br />

safe. Great place on a warm day.<br />

Readers also welcome<br />

back Vinod Manu from<br />

Redcliffs Dairy after it was<br />

closed for a revamp<br />

Mechelle Wilson – Yah.<br />

Best ice-creams ever. We called<br />

in but saw you were closed.<br />

Good excuse for another visit<br />

soon.<br />

Brydie Wolfe – The best<br />

place ever not to mention the<br />

best people who work there.<br />

Lindsey Nicole Burton –<br />

So good to have the dairy back, I<br />

told him so when I went in too.<br />

Jenny Sutherland – Yay,<br />

my very favourite ice cream<br />

shop. I was gutted when we<br />

found it closed a few weeks back.<br />

Tracey Butcher – Best ice<br />

creams and he has my favourite<br />

flavour, which most places don’t<br />

have.<br />

Sue Qunlivan – Such a hard<br />

working family, they were one of<br />

the first to open to help the community<br />

after the 20<strong>11</strong> quakes<br />

and yes – fab ice cream.<br />

Boat safety week a timely reminder<br />

Lyttelton-based<br />

navigational safety officer<br />

Gary Manch writes about<br />

Safer Boating Week which<br />

starts on Friday<br />

AS I am writing, I can see the<br />

odd pleasure boat out in the<br />

harbour making the most of the<br />

lovely day. It’s great to see people<br />

out there using our amazing<br />

coast for recreation.<br />

With Labour weekend not far<br />

away, the start of the boating<br />

season is here, and hopefully<br />

the weather will be kinder to us<br />

this season than last. To coincide<br />

with the start of the season,<br />

Maritime New Zealand is running<br />

its nationwide Safer Boating<br />

Week from Friday to <strong>October</strong> 20.<br />

I want to highlight the week for<br />

two reasons.<br />

National MP<br />

Nuk Korako<br />

writes about<br />

his plans now<br />

that he has<br />

been returned<br />

to Parliament<br />

WITH THE final election<br />

results now announced and my<br />

place back in Parliament as the<br />

National List MP based in the<br />

Port Hills confirmed, it’s time<br />

to look ahead to my priorities<br />

for the next three years. I<br />

will continue to maintain an<br />

office here in the Port Hills<br />

and be available to assist with<br />

constituent cases and concerns.<br />

But there are also some<br />

specific issues where I think I<br />

can make a difference in the<br />

Port Hills, particularly within<br />

the environmental area.<br />

In my last column, I talked<br />

about the set up of Te Tapuwae<br />

o Rakau Trust, which is<br />

now working on developing<br />

a structured approach to<br />

replanting the Port Hills. I<br />

believe leading the set up of<br />

this trust is one of the most<br />

important contributions I<br />

First, it’s a timely reminder<br />

to get you thinking about your<br />

preparation for the upcoming<br />

boating season. That means<br />

making sure your vessel has<br />

been serviced, making sure all<br />

the safety equipment is still in<br />

good working order, and making<br />

sure you have two forms of communication<br />

ready to take out on<br />

the water. It also means checking<br />

that lifejackets are the right size<br />

and, in the case of inflatable<br />

ones, checking the cylinders are<br />

working and manually blowing<br />

the lifejacket up, and leaving it<br />

overnight to check there are no<br />

leaks.<br />

Second, it’s a good time to<br />

make sure you know the boating<br />

rules for where you are going to<br />

be. In Canterbury, for example,<br />

you must have an identifying<br />

have been able to make to our<br />

electorate, and I look forward to<br />

seeing the work the trust does<br />

and assisting where I can.<br />

Another area of real<br />

environmental importance here<br />

in the Port Hills electorate is<br />

the Heathcote River and Ihutai<br />

Estuary. This is something I<br />

was involved with even before<br />

becoming an MP, in my role as<br />

chairman of Te Ihutai Trust.<br />

One of the greatest<br />

community initiatives we have<br />

in our electorate is the annual<br />

Mother of All Clean Ups, and<br />

I’ve always enjoyed getting in<br />

and helping to clean up the<br />

name or number on both sides<br />

of your boat. Check out our<br />

Navigation Safety Bylaw 2016<br />

(item 20) for full details on<br />

identification. It’s available at<br />

Korako’s environmental focus<br />

UNSIGHTLY:<br />

About 720<br />

volunteers,<br />

including<br />

Environment<br />

Canterbury<br />

councillor<br />

Cynthia Roberts,<br />

helped with the<br />

annual Mother<br />

of All Clean Ups<br />

this year.<br />

rubbish which pollutes the<br />

waterway and its banks.<br />

It’s a privilege to live in close<br />

proximity to such a beautiful<br />

landmark as the Heathcote<br />

River. But winding through<br />

residential areas carries risks for<br />

water quality. There are many<br />

issues around silt, chemicals<br />

and run-off from metal building<br />

products ending up in the river.<br />

These are issues that will require<br />

ongoing attention from local<br />

authorities and from central<br />

Government. I am committed<br />

to using my position to leave a<br />

Thanks for voting<br />

Labour MP<br />

Ruth Dyson<br />

is humbled<br />

to have been<br />

re-elected<br />

to represent<br />

the Port Hills<br />

electorate<br />

I SPOKE to a Mt Pleasant<br />

woman who is in her 90s during<br />

the week.<br />

“This has been the most exciting<br />

election since I was a young<br />

girl,” she said.<br />

And it certainly has been<br />

exciting.<br />

The final make-up of the<br />

Government won’t be known<br />

for a little while but we can be<br />

satisfied the MMP system will<br />

deliver us a Government of our<br />

choosing, given that the party<br />

vote determines how many MPs<br />

each party ends up having.<br />

I have been re-elected to<br />

represent the constituents of<br />

Port Hills in Parliament and I<br />

feel humbled at the support I<br />

received and want to express<br />

my thanks to each and every<br />

one of you – not just those that<br />

supported my re-election, but<br />

questions or queries, I am always<br />

available to help at gary.manch@<br />

ecan.govt.nz. Be safe out there<br />

and respect each other on the<br />

water.<br />

everyone who participated in<br />

our democratic process.<br />

Some countries don’t have the<br />

right for citizens to vote and we<br />

really should appreciate it more<br />

than many do.<br />

We should make it as easy as<br />

possible for people to vote and<br />

I do hope that the technology<br />

develops soon so that people<br />

will have confidence in online<br />

voting.<br />

The advance voting was<br />

certainly popular this year and<br />

is a step in the right direction of<br />

making voting more accessible.<br />

There are many issues that<br />

need support and attention in<br />

our electorate and I give you my<br />

commitment that I will continue<br />

to work hard for you, listen to<br />

what locals are saying and get<br />

things done for the benefit of our<br />

communities.<br />

We can face our challenges<br />

together and get through difficult<br />

times as we have shown in<br />

the past. But we’re not there yet.<br />

There is still much to do before<br />

we can truly say that we are on<br />

the road to recovery.<br />

But we know we can do it<br />

Ferrymead Rotary grants<br />

behind community projects<br />

Ferrymead Rotary<br />

Club member Barbara<br />

Crooks writes about<br />

neighbourhood inititives<br />

which the club supports<br />

ONE OF the few positive<br />

outcomes of the February<br />

22, 20<strong>11</strong>, earthquake, was the<br />

reinforcement of the value<br />

of neighbours. Several major<br />

donors gave funds to Rotary<br />

to help neighbourhoods come<br />

together and to support local<br />

community projects.<br />

Further donations have<br />

allowed Rotary’s neighbourhood<br />

committee to continue to<br />

support community activities<br />

and projects at a local level.<br />

These grants are channelled<br />

through local Rotary clubs.<br />

Ferrymead Rotary has been<br />

involved in a dozen or so of<br />

these. The club has two on the<br />

go right now – the Mt Pleasant<br />

Response and Resilience<br />

team and the South Brighton<br />

Residents’ Association.<br />

Robin Arnold, who coordinates<br />

Mt Pleasant Response<br />

and Resilience, says the grant<br />

will be used primarily to<br />

assemble community emergency<br />

supplies, which will be kept at<br />

Mt Pleasant School.<br />

IMPROVED: Rotary grants were used to fund native planting<br />

on Rocking Horse Rd.<br />

She has a group of local<br />

volunteers working to set up a<br />

core community response group<br />

with relevant knowledge, or<br />

access to it. This also involves<br />

developing a basic emergency<br />

plan and broadening the role of<br />

neighbourhood support groups<br />

beyond crime watch to include<br />

emergency procedures.<br />

In South Brighton, the<br />

residents’ association is using its<br />

grant for planting on Rocking<br />

Horse Rd. It’s a two-year project<br />

to plant natives in beds on<br />

street corners down both sides<br />

of the road and along the<br />

central island. “The road had<br />

become sad and neglected,” said<br />

association vice-president Lynda<br />

Burdekin, who is co-ordinating<br />

the project.<br />

“It’s such a nice place to live,<br />

we want to make the road really<br />

nice as well. “<br />

•Ferrymead Rotary meets<br />

at Speights Ferrymead at<br />

5.45pm on Tuesdays. For<br />

more information, get in<br />

Ellesmere algal bloom<br />

health warning lifted<br />

THE ALGAL bloom health<br />

warning on Te Waihora/Lake<br />

Ellesmere has been lifted,<br />

more than three years<br />

after it was put in place.<br />

Recent water testing<br />

by the Canterbury<br />

District Health Board<br />

has shown the quantity<br />

of potentially toxic bluegreen<br />

algae (planktonic<br />

cyanobacteria) in the lake<br />

has decreased.<br />

Concentrations are<br />

now below the levels that were of<br />

concern to public health.<br />

The warning was issued in<br />

February 2014.<br />

Canterbury medical officer<br />

of health Alistair Humphrey<br />

Alistair<br />

Humphrey<br />

said Environment Canterbury’s<br />

sampling of the lake would<br />

continue on a monthly<br />

basis.<br />

“The public will be<br />

informed when testing<br />

shows that concentrations<br />

have increased and there<br />

is a risk to public health<br />

again, which is likely to be<br />

in the summer months,” he<br />

said.<br />

Exposure to algal bloom<br />

can cause skin rashes,<br />

nausea, stomach cramps,<br />

tingling and numbness around<br />

the mouth and fingertips.<br />

When a warning is in place,<br />

people should not touch the<br />

water or drink it at any time.<br />

First Crater Rim Ultra a unique marathon<br />

• By Gordon Findlater<br />

SOME OF the country’s top<br />

long distance and trail runners<br />

will tackle a picturesque yet<br />

unforgiving 50km course from<br />

Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> to Hansen<br />

Park on Sunday.<br />

The inaugural Crater Rim<br />

Ultra will be a unique event.<br />

It will be one of the few ultramarathons<br />

in the world were the<br />

athletes are taken to the start<br />

line not only by bus but also by<br />

boat – cruising from Lyttelton to<br />

Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />

The Crater Rim Ultra will<br />

see competitors start at the<br />

Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> rugby<br />

grounds at 7.15am and head to<br />

the summit of Mt Herbert, 919m<br />

above sea level.<br />

They will then continue on a<br />

track to the top of Gebbies Pass<br />

and along the summit through<br />

to the top of Briddle Path. They<br />

will then loop back to the top of<br />

Rapaki Track before descending<br />

Rapaki to the finish line at<br />

Hansen Park.<br />

“We recognised that there’s so<br />

much potential there because we<br />

have the crater rim trail track<br />

which is already there and it’s<br />

such an iconic view to see all the<br />

different scenery from different<br />

angles the whole way around,”<br />

said event organiser Jamie<br />

Hawker.<br />

This year’s event is somewhat<br />

of an experiment. From next<br />

year, the event has hosting rights<br />

A 16-STRONG team from<br />

Sumner and a team of three<br />

from Taylors Mistake travel to<br />

Auckland this week for the 15th<br />

annual Surf Life Saving New<br />

Zealand pool championships.<br />

The championships, which<br />

start on Friday, will be the first<br />

national event of the <strong>2017</strong>/18 surf<br />

lifesaving season. The event at Sir<br />

Owen G Glenn National Aquatic<br />

Centre, Albany, has attracted<br />

entries from 687 athletes – 70<br />

more than last year.<br />

A total of 31 New Zealand<br />

clubs have entered, along with a<br />

team of 19 representing Surf Life<br />

Saving Australia and another 12<br />

from Surf Life Saving New South<br />

from Athletics New Zealand<br />

to call it the New Zealand trail<br />

running championships.<br />

“They are also going to use the<br />

2018 event as a trial to assist with<br />

the selection of the New Zealand<br />

men’s and women’s team to<br />

Wales. There will be about 400<br />

races contested across age groups<br />

from 10 years through to the<br />

masters section.<br />

Specific team events will<br />

provide an opportunity for the<br />

teams to go head-to-head in the<br />

4x50m obstacle relay, 4x25m<br />

manikin relay and 4x50 medley<br />

relay.<br />

“Unlike being out in the surf,<br />

competitors can watch the action<br />

more closely and clubs can<br />

compete together and cheer<br />

each other on in a stadium-like<br />

environment,” said Surf Life Saving<br />

New Zealand sport manager<br />

Mike Lord.<br />

“Many of our members spend<br />

SPORTS<br />

compete at the 2019 world trail<br />

running championships,” said<br />

Hawker.<br />

“The potential for this is huge.<br />

We can see the country’s top<br />

runners and a large number of<br />

internationals competing in the<br />

Sumner, Taylors Mistake teams off to lifesaving pool champs<br />

the cooler winter months training<br />

for surf-based rescues in a<br />

more controlled environment<br />

and this is a great way to demonstrate<br />

where they’re at ahead of<br />

the new summer patrol season.”<br />

Points will be allocated for<br />

each individual and team race<br />

and will then be added together<br />

to show the top clubs.<br />

WARMER WATERS: Sumner<br />

and Taylors Mistake surf<br />

lifesaving members will hit<br />

the pool this weekend to take<br />

on the country’s best.<br />

BATTLE: Competitors will be tested by the Port Hills<br />

undulating trails in all three races on Sunday. The 50km<br />

ultra-marathon promises spectacular views of Mt Herbert<br />

(above).<br />

future.” The event also has 10km<br />

and 21km distance races which<br />

both start and finish at Hansen<br />

Park.<br />

There will also be two<br />

children’s events at Hansen Park.<br />

The inaugural ultra-marathon<br />

has more than 60 entrants signed<br />

up to compete, while the more<br />

traditional 21km and 10km<br />

events have close to 200.<br />

The 50km event on Sunday<br />

will also act as a build-up to the<br />

60km Kepler Challenge through<br />

Fiordland National Park in<br />

December. The Kepler Challenge<br />

has become the country’s<br />

premier trail run and attracts<br />

about 500 athletes, including a<br />

large number of international<br />

competitors.<br />

The top runners in the 50km<br />

ultra-marathon are expected to<br />

finish in under five hours.<br />

The event will be followed by<br />

a presentation with place prizes,<br />

spot prizes and a great morning<br />

tea for all competitors.<br />

Happy Birthday to us.<br />

House of Travel Ferrymead, One year<br />

anniversary in our new store!<br />

House of Travel Ferrymead are celebrating one year in their new premises at 987 Ferry Road. Owners Mel Hubber and Kim<br />

Beswick are delighted to see many new tenants opening in the new business hub and love the variety and revitalisation it<br />

is bringing to an already popular area and complementing existing businesses. House of Travel Ferrymead has technically<br />

been operating for 27 years, originating as House of Travel Linwood on Buckleys Road where it specialised in Pilgrimage<br />

tours and holiday packages before relocating to Ferry Road and rebranding as House of Travel Ferrymead.<br />

The new business move has seen the team and customers alike embrace their new concept store which looks just like<br />

your favourite coffee shop. Customers are greeted with offers of tea or coffee from the nespresso machine and can relax<br />

and view inspirational material until their agent comes to sit with them with their mobile laptop. This new space creates<br />

a relaxed and informal environment where conversations flow easily about the purpose of their travel plans. Kim & Mel<br />

have both worked at House of Travel Ferrymead for a combined 18 years and believe their team is one of the most well<br />

travelled in the business.<br />

Mel Hubber<br />

Owner Operator<br />

“These days it’s about ensuring we<br />

are with our clients on their journey<br />

every step of the way – from the<br />

initial searching out options phase, to<br />

the anticipation phase, then the actual<br />

travelling phase, and then returning home with<br />

feedback and booking the next one phase!”<br />

Kim Beswick<br />

Owner Operator<br />

“We believe strong relationships with clients<br />

and suppliers are key to success in the travel<br />

industry and believe each of the team have a<br />

strong work ethic and values that compliment the<br />

House of Travel philosophy of enriching people’s<br />

lives through travel’. ‘ In fact many clients make the<br />

HEALTH & BEAUTY<br />

Love your dentures<br />

Is it time to swap your generic denture appearance<br />

for a beautiful, natural looking smile?<br />

Internationally renowned dental<br />

technician Richard Greenlees,<br />

PGDipCDTech (University of Otago) of<br />

Lovebite is the person to call.<br />

His special point of difference is<br />

rebuilding what he calls the Oral<br />

Architecture, the structure and shape of<br />

a patient’s face that is often lost following<br />

years of wearing dentures.<br />

Lovebite dentures address problems<br />

that can arise due to years of the patient<br />

wearing incorrectly fitting or poorly<br />

functioning dentures, such as poor<br />

occlusion (the way the teeth come<br />

together), aesthetics, function and<br />

hygiene.<br />

An intricate knowledge and<br />

understanding of facial features allows<br />

Richard to return facial tissues back to the<br />

correct position, reform lips, and restore<br />

beauty and confidence.<br />

Richard provides a friendly, discreet<br />

service and personally guides his patients<br />

through the transformation process to<br />

create teeth with small nuances in the<br />

fabrication, colour and shape.<br />

Carmen, a recent patient said in a<br />

thank you letter to Richard, “I highly<br />

recommend your craftsmanship to anyone<br />

wanting a natural looking smile. Because<br />

you do your work in front of your client,<br />

one is able to see how meticulous and<br />

dedicated you are to ending up with a top<br />

class result. My dentures are amazing.<br />

They look like one’s own natural teeth. So<br />

much time, effort and energy went into<br />

the end result. Simply the best.”<br />

Richard’s patients have varying needs,<br />

from full denture replacement, to first<br />

time immediate dentures, implant<br />

supported dentures and metal partial<br />

dentures.<br />

Since he started making teeth in<br />

1980 Richard has travelled extensively,<br />

accumulating vast knowledge through<br />

training and working in Japan, and<br />

running his own practice in the<br />

prestigious Harley Street, London for 15<br />

years. He continues to teach his world<br />

leading techniques globally.<br />

Richard also creates porcelain crowns<br />

and veneers, working with like-minded<br />

dental professionals.<br />

A beautiful new Lovebite smile<br />

resembles nature and reflects the patient’s<br />

character. It boosts confidence and helps<br />

patients to look and feel years younger.<br />

of stunning Lovebite dentures, visit<br />

BEFORE<br />

AFTER<br />

These before and after photographs<br />

perfectly highlight the facial<br />

rejuvenation that can be achieved<br />

with a Lovebite denture (right).<br />

The patient’s facial structure and<br />

shape have been restored, with her<br />

beautiful new smile transforming<br />

the way she looks and feels.<br />

STUNNING: A beautiful new denture for<br />

a young female patient<br />

These stunning lovebite full upper and<br />

lower dentures have been expertly crafted by<br />

internationally-recognised dental technician<br />

Richard Greenlees at his Christchurch studio.<br />

The combination of Richard’s skill, experience<br />

(including 15 years in London’s prestigious<br />

Harley Street) knowledge and revolutionary<br />

techniques allow him to create beautiful<br />

bespoke false teeth that truly resemble those<br />

in nature and reflect each patient’s individuality<br />

and unique character.<br />

LUTHER AND LLOYD:<br />

TWO OUTRAGEOUS HERETICS?<br />

SIX-WEEK COURSE<br />

This year marks the 500th Anniversary of Martin Luther<br />

nailing his thesis to the church in his German town of<br />

Wittenberg (<strong>October</strong> 31). An action that unexpectedly<br />

sparked the Reformation. This year also celebrates the<br />

50th Anniversary of the heresy trial of Lloyd Geering<br />

here in Aotearoa New Zealand. An event that was most<br />

divisive for many of our churches.<br />

This course will examine the huge impact of the two<br />

men in their time, noting their significance for today.<br />

Attention will be drawn to the different theological<br />

perspectives involved.<br />

Six-week course of 2 hour sessions<br />

held on Thursday afternoons 2pm - 4pm<br />

commencing on 19 <strong>October</strong> <strong>2017</strong><br />

The course will be co-facilitated by Charles Manning and<br />

Reverend Rodney Routledge. The course will draw on the<br />

latest scholarship and will be interactive in format.<br />

VENUE: Iona House, Aranui<br />

Enrolments by 15 <strong>October</strong> by email to<br />

stgmin@gmail.com or 3812536<br />
