Worry over firefighting capacity
• By Sarla Donovan
FIREFIGHTERS and residents
are worried the Little River Fire
Brigade won’t have enough water
to fight blazes this summer.
The brigade’s modern fire tanker
was replaced with a smaller,
30-year-old vehicle when Fire
and Emergency New Zealand
replaced the New Zealand Fire
Service on July 1 this year.
“Some city council assets were
taken from (rural) stations so
that Christchurch would retain
its best assets,” said Little River
Fire Brigade chief fire officer
David Irving.
Little River’s “practically new”
water tanker was replaced with a
30-year-old one which is slower
and carries less water.
“We take the vehicle as our
water supply but we now have decreased
capacity – 1500 litres less –
and we can’t get it there in a timely
fashion . . . I don’t know if it’s the
gearbox ratios or the engine, or its
weight, but the combination of all
of those – it’s not an emergency
tanker, it’s a tanker.”

COMMUNITY concern over
a shopping and entertainment
complex in Church Bay has
forced a rethink on how it will
look.
Spence Developments wants
to build a supermarket and
111-space car park, four shops, a
cafe and a 30-seat cinema at 139-
143 Marine Drive, behind the On
the Spot store.
The Church Bay
Neighbourhood Association
has expressed misgivings
about whether the building
would fit in to the semi-rural
environment.
Corrugated iron, timber
or stone were suggested as
alternatives to the proposed
tilt-slab construction
materials.
Association secretary Pat
Pritchett said they had been in
touch with Spence Developments
to give their feedback.
She was pleased at the designs
would now be revisited.
“I hope they’re looking at not
using tilt slab as part of that. It’s
good to know they’ve listened to
the community and I hope they
continue to do so,” she said.

FROM
THE
EDITOR’S
DESK
LITTLE RIVER locals have
every reason to be worried about
their ability to fight blazes this
summer (see page 1).
So they are doing everything
in their power to get a tanker
which can hold more water.
The Little River brigade covers
a big catchment and it needs the
equipment to do the job.
The city council has taken a
modern tanker from the Little
River brigade, saying it is needed
elsewhere – Christchurch.
The city council must have a
short memory – there have been
big fires in Little River over the
last couple of years, and didn’t
we have a major one on the Port
Hills several months ago?
So all power to those in little
River as they battle for a better
tanker.
Also on page 1, an update on
the Church Bay development.

Call for Beachville Rd clean-up
• By Sarla Donovan
THE BEACHVILLE Rd
esplanade is an unsightly mess,
residents say and they want it
cleaned up.
Redcliffs Residents Association
secretary Pat McIntosh
wrote to city council infrastructure
rebuild liaison manager
Ross Herrett on October 13
about “unsightly” landscaping
next to the new $4.6 million
seawall.
It follows an earlier email
from the city council in June,
when Mr Herrett said the landscaping
work would be rectified
by SCIRT in early spring.
But the area remains overgrown
and weed-ridden.
“There is no sign of even
routine maintenance being undertaken,”
Dr McIntosh said.
“What used to be a pleasant
grassed area used for picnics
and play is currently shin-high
in weeds with bare patches in
between and is quite useless and
very unsightly.”
Picnic tables removed from
the area during the seawall construction
were damaged beyond
repair, Dr McIntosh said, and
when she asked the city council
for replacements, was told it
was up to the Coastal Pathway
Group. However, that group was
short of money for landscaping
and had other priorities, she
said.
“It seems to be being batted
back and forth.”
Group chairman Scott
Babington said they planned to
meet with the RRA next week
and it would be “one of the topics
of discussion.”
A city council spokeswoman
told the Bay Harbour News “arrangements
are under way for
repairs. Staff have been talking

WHARF STRUCTURES TO GO
Structures encroaching on public
land along the Akaroa Wharf
are to be removed. The Banks
Peninsula Community Board
decided on Monday that all
structures which can practically
be removed should be taken
down. City council staff will now
speak to Black Cat Cruises, which
owns the structures, and report
back to the board on November
13 with a time frame for removal.
MUSEUM LAND TRANSFER
Land at 33-35 London St is
expected to be gifted to the
Lyttelton Historical Museum
Society tomorrow. Last month a
hearing panel recommended the
land be transferred to the society
and the city council is expected
to adopt the recommendation
at its meeting on Thursday. The
museum has been without a home
since its Gladstone Quay premises
were made uninhabitable after the
2010 and 2011 earthquakes.
BOAT WASH RECONNECTION
The boat wash adjacent to
the Akaroa Boat Compound
should be reconnected now that
Akaroa’s water quantity has been
improved, say the Banks Peninsula
Community Board. It has asked
the city council to reinstate it and
is waiting to hear back on when
this is likely to happen.

New wastewater system
plan for Diamond Harbour
A NEW pressure wastewater
system may be installed in
Whero Ave and Marine Drive,
Diamond Harbour.
The gravity wastewater
network in the area was badly
damaged in the September 4,
2010, and February 22, 2011,
earthquakes, and through root
intrusion into the joints.
The situation has caused
blockages and overflows on to
private property.
And in some areas houses
have been constructed over the
wastewater pipes, meaning they
cannot be accessed for repair.
The city council is proposing
to install a pressure wastewater
system like the one recently
installed in Charteris Bay.
The individual tank and
pump system is located in
an underground tank which
transfers wastewater, under
pressure, from individual
properties to the city council’s
pipes in the street.
It is connected to an alarm
panel attached to the outside of
each property, which alerts city
council staff if there is a problem
with the tank.
The only parts of the system
that would be visible are the lid of
the tank and the alarm panel.
Feedback is being sought on
the proposal until November
13. To make a submission, visit
www.ccc.govt/haveyoursay
The city council will also hold
a street meeting on Tuesday,
November 7 at 5.15pm in the
Whero Ave cul-de-sac.

U-turn on ferry terminal bus stop plan
• By Sarla Donovan
THE DIAMOND Harbour
ferry terminal will retain two
bus stops after a U-turn from
the Lyttelton Port Company.
But it’s not budging on a decision
not to provide a dedicated
pick-up/drop-off zone.
The LPC has
been under
pressure from
community
groups over
a move to
reduce bus
parking spaces
Peter Davie
from three to
one and not
provide a public drop-off zone,
as part of its staff car park development
on Jetty 2.
LPC chief executive Peter
Davie said yesterday he had
“listened to the concerns
expressed by the Diamond
Harbour Community
Association and the Banks
Peninsula Community Board
about the negative impact
reducing the bus service to one
stop would have on people using
the ferry. We have decided to
retain two bus stops so there is
no change to the 28 bus service,
while the 535 will pick up and
drop off people wanting to catch
the ferry from Norwich Quay.”
While they wouldn’t provide a
dedicated pick-up/drop-off zone
for private vehicles, LPC would
“facilitate access” for people
to drop off goods, had young
children or who were physically
impaired, Mr Davie said.
“Regular users . . . can apply
for a permit to enable them to
be dropped off and picked up
close to the ferry. People who
are not regular users, but need
close access to the ferry, can
phone LPC security 24 hours
a day, seven days a week to
arrange entry. As a secondary

option people can contact Black
Cat Cruises to facilitate access.”
Banks Peninsula Community
Board chairwoman Christine
Wilson said the board was “delighted
that LPC has revisited its
plans.”
Stairs onto the Oxford St overbridge
are being re-installed,
reducing the walking distance
to the ferry.
“The community has been
asking us to re-install these
stairs and we are pleased to
deliver this. We will undertake
this work while we construct
our staff car park for Waterfront
House, LPC’s new operations
and administration building.
All work is scheduled to be
completed before Christmas,
with LPC’s administration and
management teams relocating
from Woolston.

Akaroa toilets
‘disgraceful’
TOILETS AT the Akaroa
Recreation Ground have been
labelled a “disgrace.”
Akaroa resident Laurice Bradford
has written to the Banks
Peninsula Community Board
denouncing the current state of
the toilets.
“The pipe is leaking on the sink
in the ladies so the floor is always
wet and the doors don’t lock that
well in the ladies and the disabled
toilet. There is also no soap or
paper towels.”
Ms Bradford said the toilets
were used by “a lot of travellers,
and locals, and should be in better
condition.
“Freedom campers are washing
dishes in the sinks, which is a
health and safety issue.”
She wants the city council to
provide a tap, sink and bench on
the outside of the building for
campers to wash their dishes.
Community board chairwoman
Christine Wilson said the board
had discussed the issue at their
meeting on Monday.
“We didn’t think a sink was a
good idea. We want to encourage
campers in need of facilities to go
a campground.”
However, the board has asked
city council staff to look at fixing
the problems and improving the
maintenance of the toilet block.

inspiration for My Mother’s Kitchen.

100 Great New Zealand Wineries
By douglas renall
100 Great New Zealand Wineries features many of the best
vineyards in the country. All New Zealand’s main wine-making
regions are described, with wineries chosen not only for the
quality of the wine produced, but also for their history, cellar-door
atmosphere, awards won and the impact the winery has had
at home and abroad. Author Douglas Renall has walked the
vineyards, searched the cellars and talked with winemakers
and vineyard managers to gather fascinating insights about the
viticulture methods employed, the oenology practices used and
with the people who work long days in the vineyard and equally
long nights in the cellar. Often visiting wineries several times, and
always with his camera, he has also captured the beauty and
seasonal differences of vineyards around the country.
Exhausted to Energized
Dr Libby’s Guide to Living Your Life with More Energy
By Libby Weaver
It’s easy to pass off feeling tired and put it down to a multitude of
things in our life - your job, your children, your relationships, but
there is an enormous array of factors that might be draining you
of energy - and often without you even realising it. For example,
just sitting for more than an hour produces biochemical reactions
in the body that make you feel more lethargic. Also, having open
loops churning over in your mind impacts your body in a similar
way to having too many apps open on your phone, flattening its
battery and draining you of energy.
From teenagers through to adults, find out where your energy goes
and how you can reclaim the vitality you once had. Empowered
with the information in this book, learn simple but powerful
strategies to help liberate yourself from exhaustion and live a life
with more energy.

FENZ Christchurch metro
area commander Dave
Stackhouse has put forward a
case for Little River to get a new
or upgraded vehicle “as soon as
possible,” Mr Irving said.
There have been several
serious fires in Little River over
the past couple of years and Mr
Irving said coming into the dry
season it was a real concern they
didn’t have the right equipment
to fight fires.
The Little River brigade covers
a 60km radius from Seabridge
Rd near Motukarara to the
Hilltop Tavern above Akaroa.
“(The case has) gone to
Wellington Fleet Management,”
said Mr Irving. “Unfortunately
it’s been nearly three months
now and there’s been no result.”
The Banks Peninsula
Community Board has now
raised the issue with FENZ.
Board member Tori Peden
said they were expecting a
briefing from them on the
situation in December.
Mrs Peden said both the
brigade and local residents
were worried about the limited
transportable water, especially
with the weather starting to heat
up.
Birdlings Flat resident Barb
Gaeth said it was a real concern
for the Birdlings Flat area, which
has a limited water supply.
She said she’d heard the truck
“can’t get over the hill when it’s
full of water, which is freaky.

safety to be
improved with
white pavers
NEW TACTILE pavers designed
to improve pedestrian safety in
Akaroa will be white, except at
the Rue Jolie intersection.
Banks Peninsula Community
Board chairwoman Christine
Wilson said it was a difficult
decision for the board, which
had tried to find a compromise
between community concerns
over retaining heritage values in
the township, and maximising
pedestrian safety.
City council staff had
recommended the yellow
pavers as having higher safety
values. The Blind Foundation
also advocates using yellow –
for those with low vision yellow
is recognised as a warning
colour.
However, heritage advocates
argued the yellow tactile pavers
would affect the look of the
Akaroa historic area and pushed
for white to be used.
Rue Jolie will have yellow ones
because its proximity to a zebra
crossing meant white pavers could
be confused with a bar of the
crossing.

RUTH DYSON turned 60 in
August, but the political veteran
shows no sign of slowing down.
Three days a week she’s in Wellington,
and though her stepson
lives there and a stepdaughter up
the coast in Paekakariki, there’s
not much opportunity to see
them or her five grandchildren –
work doesn’t finish until 10pm.
She says the time away from
her Moncks Bay home is good
for her and Martin, her “very
tolerant” husband of 32 years.
Their house was rebuilt after
the February 22, 2011, earthquake
and Martin looks after the
vegetable gardens, chooks and
beehive while she’s away.
September’s election saw Ms
Dyson increase her majority by
more than 5000 votes in the Port
Hills electorate she’s held for four
terms.
And this time around, she’s
back in the corridors of power
for the first time in nearly a decade,
this time as the Government
chief whip.
Like Labour leader and now
Prime Minister Jacinda Arden,
Ms Dyson’s interest in politics
came as a teenager, though she
wasn’t from a political family.
Catholic educated, she describes
herself as an “army brat” who
lived in different military camps
around the country. She had
to persuade her parents to vote
Labour. “I won,” she says with a
wry smile. “I’m sure they were
National voters before me.”
Growing up, she never lacked
ambition.
“When I first started school,
I remember I was at a Catholic
primary school and the teacher
said: ‘What do you want to be
when you grow up?’ And I said a
rock star or the pope. And to her
credit, she never told me that I
couldn’t be the pope.”
The appeal of politics was
idealistic.
“I wanted to change the world.
Make it a better place. I was
involved in anti-mining, antiapartheid,
the peace movement,
women’s movement – it was the
70s, you had to be. But I didn’t
get involved in party politics
until I lived on the West Coast in
the 80s.”
In the end, it was a toss-up
between Labour and Values
(which later became the
Green Party) but with no
other Values person on the
coast, she ended up joining the
Labour Party in 1979.
After working as a campaign
organiser for Labour MP
Kerry Burke in the 1981 and
1984 elections, a shift north to
Wellington followed, helping
Fran Wilde with the Homosexual
Law Reform Bill.
Then, at the 1988 Labour Party
conference at the Dunedin Town
Hall, she defeated Jim Anderton
to win the position of party
president at the youthful age
of 31 – a position she held for
the next five years before being
elected to Parliament in 1993 in
the Lyttelton electorate which
later became Banks Peninsula
and then Port Hills.
She’s now been there for 24
years, one of the longest-serving
current MPs, and has held her
electorate seat in all but one election
(losing to National’s David
Carter in 1996.)
Being back in Government
Below –

the Labour
Party
Conference at
the Dunedin
Town Hall in
1988, when
she was
elected party
president.
after nine years on opposition
benches is a “huge opportunity”
she says.
“Listening to Jacinda on the
radio this morning makes me
think we’re probably going to be
working non-stop for the next
three years, because there’s such
a big list of things to do.”
Ms Dyson concedes she wasn’t
anticipating a return to Government
three months ago.
“If you had asked me then . . . I
would have said we’d be spending
another term in opposition,
watching more destruction.”
It’s 18 years since Helen Clark’s
Labour Government prised National
out of office and the issues
facing the new coalition are “not
dissimilar,” Ms Dyson says.

Fire rages, homes at risk
She identifies housing as something
that’s “a lot worse” now
than in 1999.
“But remember, we’d had a
period of state house sell-offs
coming in to office in 99. And
Auckland . . . had sold off all their
council housing properties. So
there was huge pressure for social
housing then, (but) it’s substantially
worse now.”
“I also think, especially here in
Christchurch, mental health is
in a much worse state. We’d had
quite a period of stability, probably
from when Jenny Shipley
took over from Jim Bolger (in
1997).
“Shipley and Helen Clark
were on the same page in terms
of mental health and were
both pretty determined to depoliticise
it. It was often called the
‘Cinderella’ of the health system
– always the last thing to get done
– so I think in 1999 mental health
was in better shape, though the
health system overall wasn’t. But
now, the health system is really
under resourced and for me,
mental health is the really big
issue.”
Also not new is the way women
politicians get treated. She
reckons they still get judged differently
to men.
“The New Zealand Herald
headline that had Jacinda putting
a ‘curse’ on the All Blacks
– would you have done that
to Bill English? Maybe, but I
don’t think so. She’s a woman
and she’s young. That shouldn’t
make a difference, we should be
really proud of that but it’s seen
as a negative thing by quite a few
people.”
Having said that, “any woman
that goes into public office helps
the next generation do it. Fran
Wilde and Annette King are
two of the women that really
encouraged me to get involved
in politics and they still do,
they’re still two of my closest
friends. Margaret Wilson, Helen
Clark.”
“When I first went into Parliament
I wouldn’t have been called
a political operator, it was more
‘where’s the bathroom, where’s
my office’ . . . but I’ve always
been interested in how decisions
are made and how to influence
things, what really makes a difference.
“I’ve learned a lot about the
political process and how best
to influence change. I had five
years as president of the party
so before I went into Parliament
I thought I knew how the place
ran, but I didn’t have a clue.
You don’t know until you get in
there.”
“What keeps me there? I can
get things done, I can change
things for the better. That’s what
keeps me there.”
So does Ruth Dyson ever forget
that she’s an MP?
“At this time of the political
cycle, no . . . we’ve just been
away for the long weekend and –
I should have worn a balaclava. I
had people coming up to me
in a restaurant on Stewart
Island saying ‘what’s going to
happen?’”

HALLELUJAH: Sue Stewart gives the pavement repairs the
thumbs up.
Problem pavers
finally fixed
• By Sarla Donovan
HOW LONG does it take to fix
a bumpy footpath?
Turns out, quite some time.
But here’s the abbreviated
version: In May this year, Sue
Stewart (right) tripped
on uneven pavers
along the Akaroa
waterfront, grazing
her face.
Not one to take such
things lying down, she
decided to go out with
some spray paint and
mark the area to help
prevent others from
falling and injuring themselves.
That’s when Banks Peninsula
city councillor and Deputy
Mayor Andrew Turner got
involved. He visited the site and
assured Ms Stewart the city
council was taking the matter
“very seriously”.
The problem pavers would be
fixed by the end of June, he told
Ms Stewart.
Fast forward three months to
September and the pavers were
removed, but still not replaced.
Cones and barriers
surrounded the area.
Cr Turner said it wasn’t a
simple matter of just replacing
the pavers. Apparently,
specialist contractors were
needed to replace the pavers
with a gravel, resin-based
material, which would provide
a safe surface around the trees
and keep them healthy.
But poor weather and rain
meant the contractor
had a backlog. Then last
month, Ms Stewart again
contacted Bay Harbour
News.
“The barriers are
still here,” she said.
“Nothing’s happened for
months.”
On October 25, Bay
Harbour News asked Cr
Turner when the repairs would
be finished?
On October 27, almost five
months to the day since the saga
started, Cr Turner responded: “I
have been advised that the final
part of the work is being done,
and will be completed, today. I
have asked a further question
on the reason for the delay, and
can provide this information as
soon as I have an answer from
the staff responsible for the
project.”
Ms Stewart is understandably
pleased.
She’s contemplating writing a
poem about the whole affair.

Clarifying issues surrounding development in port
Peter
Davie, chief
executive,
Lyttelton
Port of
Christchurch,
responds to
the Soap Box
article in the Bay Harbour
News from Felix Dawson,
Diamond Harbour Resident
and Banks Peninsula
Community Board Mt
Herbert representative
Felix Dawson confused several
issues pertaining to Lyttelton
Port in his October 4 Soapbox
article. It is important that the
right information is provided so
people know the facts.
Upgrade of Diamond
Harbour Ferry Terminal
We are upgrading the existing
Diamond Harbour Ferry Terminal
amenities. We’re doing this
at the same time as constructing
a staff car park adjacent to
Waterfront House, LPC’s new
operations and administration
building.
For some time the community
has asked if we could re-install
stairs off the Oxford St overbridge
to provide direct access
to the ferry. This will reduce the
walking distance to the ferry
and is included in the terminal
upgrade.
We are working closely with
Environment Canterbury to
maintain the existing bus service
and we will retain the dual bus
stops.
This will ensure there is no
change for people using the 28
bus service to access the Diamond
Harbour Ferry. There has
never been a dedicated drop-off/
pick-up area at the wharf, and
currently, people cannot drive
directly to the ferry.
However we are happy to
provide access for people who
are impaired, elderly, have young
children or are dropping off
goods. We will be communicating
this to Diamond Harbour
Ferry users and the wider community.
Reclamation of land
LPC has applied for resource
consent to extend the reclamation
in Te Awaparahi Bay to
34ha. Ten hectares has already
been reclaimed as part of the
Lyttelton Port Recovery Plan,
following the 2010/2011 earthquakes.
The port requires the 34ha
reclamation to provide the
space needed to meet the South
Island’s fast growing freight
requirements. LPC has always
communicated that, while the
port does not need all 34ha immediately,
it will within the next
10 to 15 years, and is obtaining
the consents now to allow the
extension of the reclamation
without any future disruption.
LPC has always said that the logs
in front of Norwich Quay will be
relocated to either Cashin Quay
or the reclaimed area.
For locals, the expansion of
the reclamation is particularly
beneficial. Moving Port operations
east, away from Lyttelton’s
residential area, will also free up
the inner harbour for increased
community access.
Cruise ship berth and
channel deepening consent
Obtaining the channel deepening
resource consent is a critical
component of the international
cruise ship berth construction
and this was communicated at
the consent hearing.
While the existing channel
has sufficient depth to allow
cruise vessels to reach the port,
dredging is required around the
new wharf to allow the ships to
actually dock at the proposed
cruise berth.
We are preparing to mediate
with both parties who appealed
our consent on their concerns
and consequently, at this point,
we are unable to provide a time
line of when the cruise berth will
be completed. We are as disappointed
as many are about this
delay, particularly as the hearing
panel decided “by a considerable
margin” that our consent be
granted.
LPC actively does its best to
ensure that any impact our operations
have on the community
and environment is minimised. I
encourage anyone with concerns
to contact us.

gifts garden
to bridge club
SUMNER BRIDGE Club has
a brand new garden out front
thanks to a local landscape
designer.
Erik Ellis said the club had approached
him to come up with a
new design as the old garden had
become overgrown and messy.
The Dryden St cottage now
features box hedging planted in a
pattern to show an ace of spades
– the highest card in bridge – and
the letters SBC. Club secretary
Ally Mathias said the club was
“extremely grateful” for Dr Ellis’
generosity. “He gave his landscaping
design and planting expertise,
at no charge,” she said.
Dr Ellis said he hoped that with
the garden’s strong structure and
regular maintenance, it would
look good for years to come. Box
hedging plants can last up to 100
years and handle both dry and
wet conditions, Dr Ellis said.
The freshly planted plots had attracted
great interest at the club’s
recent spring tournament, with
members and visitors showing
appreciation for the design, Ms
Mathias said.
Sumner Bridge Club was
started in 1968 and will celebrate
its 50th anniversary in September
next year.
WET WEATHER and a lack of
maintenance are combining to
make Cass Bay walking tracks a
potential danger.
The Cass Bay reserves
management committee
is concerned about poor
maintenance on the Head to
Head walkway between Corsair
and Cass Bay and Cass Bay to
Pony Point.
It said the tracks are well used
by locals and visitors but heavy
use and poor management are
causing slips in winter and in
summer long grass is obscuring
the tracks.
Drains have been put in place
but the majority are not correctly
positioned or clogged, secretary
Helen Braithwaite said in
a letter to the Banks Peninsula
Community Board.
“As a result, in wet weather,
the storm water runs down and
under the paths and erodes
them.”
“Over the last 18 years, we

TRACK:
Concerns
have been
raised about
the safety of

track
between

and Corsair
Bay.
Walking tracks a safety concern
Fire rages, homes at risk
have had meetings with council
staff, looking at solutions to this
problem. However, there has
been little action, and with each
change of council staff, discussions
start from the beginning
again.”
The committee said the Pony
Point track is under the care
of the Regional Parks team,
however, the Corsair to Cass Bay
section is with the Urban Parks
team, which “seems to have no
funding for ongoing maintenance
of the track.”
They’ve written to the board
asking that the Regional Parks
team take responsibility for all
of the tracks.
“It would also be useful to
have a counter on the Corsair
Bay to Cass Bay track, to measure
the number of people using
the track in order to justify the
maintenance load.”
The board has asked city
council staff for advice on
whether this would be possible.

I congratulate the new prime

Rotary’s work to
support elderly
people in the
community
IT’S HARD to imagine going
into the centre of Christchurch
for the first time in 10 years.
But that was the experience
for one of the nine Sumner and
Redcliffs senior citizens which
Ferrymead Rotary took into the
central city. Although they all
live alone and some still drive,
most hadn’t been into the city
for a long time.
They were collected by two
Rotary members in a van lent
to the club by the Kowhai Rest
Home. Their first stop – the
Botanic Gardens. They were
given a guided tour around
the gardens in the ‘Caterpillar’,
complete with a driver
commentary about the plants
and their origins, and stops for
closer inspection at the begonia
and cacti houses. Several hadn’t
been on the ‘Caterpillar’ before
and some had never been to the
Botanic Gardens.
After a Rotary-shouted lunch
in a city cafe, they cruised
around the changing scene
of the central city rebuild.
They took in sights such as the
Margaret Mahy playground, the
Piano Centre, the Isaac Theatre
Royal and the Transitional
Cathedral.
So much had changed since
they had last been to town 10
years ago. As you might expect,
they were astounded by what she
saw. One woman said: “I might
now even be able to find my way
around the city again.”
The group was most appreciative
of the outing. One wrote
to Ferrymead Rotary, saying it
was “especially fun and a real
learning experience to be taken
around the Botanic Gardens

Feedback like this has encouraged
Ferrymead Rotary to make
the outing an annual project.
This was the first time since
the February 22, 2011, earthquakes
that the club has provided
something specific for this
age group. Back then when the
local supermarkets were closed,
the club transported numerous
elderly people to shop further

From Taylors Mistake to the Atlantic
Isaac Giesen
plans to row
4700km
for suicide
prevention
• By Andrew Alderson
ATLANTIC ROWER Isaac
Giesen grew up in Merivale but
spent his summers at the Taylors
Mistake Surf Life Saving Club
from the age of nine.
While he longer lives in
Christchurch, the born-and-bred
Cantabrian still rates Taylors
Mistake as the “best damn club
in the whole damn land”.
All going to plan, over
Christmas the 25-year-old
will be manning the oars of
his rowing vessel somewhere
between the Canary Islands and
Antigua on a 4700km journey
across the Atlantic Ocean to
raise awareness and funds for
suicide prevention.
Giesen leaves on December 12
and hopes to complete the crossing
in 60 days. He expects to
drop 20-30kg from a 110kg race
weight, but a mop of hair and
free-range beard that has seen
him called “Jesus” will stay.
On Chritmas Day, Giesen will
sling his rod overboard, hoping
to reel in a catch he can fillet on
a chopping board built into the
port side gunwale of his vessel,
Bonnie Lass.
The plan is to enjoy sashimi,
even if he’s stuck in one of the
trade winds route’s infamous
hurricanes.
Lemon could be added as a
marinade or, depending on how
cavalier he feels, he might knock
up a soup with tom yum paste,
coconut powder and desalinated
water.
Whatever ends up on Giesen’s
menu, it is for a cause close to his
heart.
He lost an aunt and two mates
to suicide in recent years. The
objective is to complete the
Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge
to raise $1 million in the
name of mental health for the
Bravehearts, Black Dog Institute
and Victim Support charities. A
sum of $13,862 has been secured
so far under a campaign branded
The Blue Rower.
Giesen knows eating on the
voyage is less about Michelinstar
meals and more about
chowing down enough energy
for his stints on the oars.
He cites the case of veteran
long-distance rower Leven
Brown – who’s his mentor –
being forced to open a bag of
potato chips by sitting on them
after battling to the point of exhaustion
through a hurricane.
“Because I’m going solo, I can
row or sleep as much as I want,”
Giesen says. “But I might break
the day into six four-hour slots of
three hours on, one hour off. So
I’ll need to eat so much food for
fuel, then work out a sleep and
rowing pattern around it.”
Why go to such extremes?
“The answer is ‘why not’?” he
says. “I don’t have an answer to
why my aunty and two mates
did that. In fact, it’ll always be a
demon question in the back of
my mind, so while I’m still living
and breathing, why not live life
to the full.”
Giesen said he has never officially
suffered depression, but
that should not stop Kiwis talking
about it.
“I went through one spell
where I’d wake up unhappy. I
kept telling myself ‘tomorrow
will be better’,” he said.
“If I ever did have depression,
the best way for me to deal with
it would be through exercise, to
control those inner thoughts.
“I needed to break the silence.
I don’t want to be that New Zealand
man who won’t talk about
his feelings.”
Giesen believes the next generation
can change the way New
Zealanders think about mental
health.
“Some New Zealanders are
still stuck in backward ways.
Hopefully younger people can be
open and talk about it like John
Kirwan as an All Black. But who
among the new generation will
know him if they don’t follow
rugby?”
Giesen was once a surf
lifesaver at Taylors Mistake,
but never rowed competitively.
He has been subjecting himself
to three-hour rows on the
ergometer to build his base
fitness.
JOURNEY:
Isaac Giesen
will attempt to
row 4700km
across the
Atlantic
to raise
awareness
and money
for suicide
prevention.
Brown told him his erg scores,
with an average 2m 19s, split
for each 500m, mean his fitness
is “as good as it can get” for the
task at hand.
“I know I can do more, but
I still expect to get broken out
there.
“I’m hoping it helps that I can
read surf to know when to stroke
and maximise the power of the
waves.
“I also completed my yacht
masters course last year in the
Canary Islands (including more
than 5000 sailing hours) which
helped me understand swells.”
Planning has been key to
building confidence for his
expedition. Giesen has fixed and
handheld GPS units on-board,
alongside VHF units and charts
to plot his daily position. He will
eat dehydrated food, and has a
water-maker and manual backup
which can pump out 28 and
two litres an hour respectively.
Brown is helping Giesen with
his weather navigation; a sound
plan given he has rowed 30,000
nautical miles on various routes
around the world.
As a result, Giesen will get
five different chart options
a day and take the advice
of 2001 trans-Atlantic race
winners Kevin Biggar and
Jamie Fitzgerald. They got the
weather in the morning and
plotted incremental measures of
achievement on their chart.
He will also take the pair’s
advice on oars.
“They used wetsuit material
for hand grips because it takes
the moisture away and softens
up the catch [of the blade in the
water].
“It’s a bit squishy and better
on your tendons. I’ve got an old
wetsuit so I’ll probably cut that
into strips.”
Eight boats will contest the
event’s solo class. Giesen’s is
one of the oldest in the fleet
but it’s “made with love” and
“seamless finishings”. He can
put out a parachute anchor if
Armageddon pops up in the
middle of nowhere.
“My theory is ‘don’t touch it’,”
Giesen says of the chute. “I’m
about 10 per cent of the boat’s
weight so I can manoeuvre it in
the big surf.”
Giesen finished a degree in
viticulture and winemaking
in 2015 and was working as
a chartered skipper for Kiwi
company MedSailors in
Croatia on sailing holidays for
18-30-year-olds. Then he had an
appetite for something new.
“It was good fun, a lot of
drinking, but by the end I’d had
enough. I wanted to focus on
this.”
If he’s seeking inspiration,
Kiwi Dame Naomi James
embarked on a similar adventure
40 years ago, becoming the first
woman to sail solo around the
world via Cape Horn.
She began her
circumnavigation on a loaned
16m yacht just over two years
after learning to sail.
James suffered radio silence
for 12875km heading south in
the Atlantic, lost her kitten Boris
overboard and was forced to
stop over in Cape Town when
her self-steering failed. Three
months into the voyage, she
realised she was miscalculating
latitude with longitude on her
distance chart. –NZ Herald

Records set in scorching
heat at Boulder Bay Classic
• By Gordon Findlater
THE PACE at Sunday’s Boulder
Bay Classic was scorching hot, as
records fell in both the men’s and
women’s events.
The men’s record was not just
broken but completely smashed
by race winner Oska Baynes. His
time of 36m 13s over the 10.5km
trail course was a whopping
3min quicker than the previous
best time of 39m 13s set by Dallas
Wichman in 2013.
“I don’t think it’s beatable. The
thing that was most amazing is
that when he crossed the finish
line he just looked like he had
run 100m to go and have a cup of
tea and piece of cake,” said event
organiser Lisa Brignell.

YOUNG GUNS: It was
a fun day out for the
young ones with a 1.2km
run around Taylors
Mistake.
In the women’s event Jean
Kozyniak’s time of 45m 4s was
good enough to shave 24sec off
Liliana Braun’s record of 45m
28s, which she set last year.
Braun finished second in Sunday’s
race in a time of 45m 22s.
Sunday’s conditions were perfect
for racing with the overall
pace among the top runners well
under previous times.
“It was a little bit overcast and
cooler to start with and just got
warmer and warmer as the day
progressed,” said Brignell.
David Fitch was the best of the
Sumner Running Club members,
finishing fifth overall in the
men’s event and second in the
35-49 age category. The majority
of regular Sumner runners experienced
a day on the other side of
the track as race marshals.
The day was also a winner for
the children with 50 prizes going
to those who took part in the
1.2km run.
With numbers on the track
limited to 400, the popular event
sold out entries three weeks prior
to the race.
Results:
Men: Oska Baynes, 36m
13s, 1; Chris Dryden, 38m

• By Julia Evans
SELWYN SOUNDS is going to
be a sort of homecoming for The
Mockers.
Lead singer Andrew Fagan
said it’s “quite humorous” thinking
about playing in the district
where the band’s career started.
The day-long music festival
at Lincoln Domain on March
3 follows this year’s inaugural
event, which saw the Jordan
Luck Band, Mi-Sex, Dragon and
various Kiwi heavyweights play
in front of a crowd of about 8000.
“The Mockers had some of
their first gigs at Lincoln University,”
Fagan said, fondly remembering
some of the “drunk
agricultural students” during
orientation weeks in the early
80s.
The band, which was based in
Wellington at the time, would
pile onto the Interislander ferry
with all kinds of musical equipment
in tow then get onto a train
bound for a night at Lincoln’s
“big, huge uni hall”.
“We did some really, really
long sets. We used to play the
same set three times in a row.
No one noticed – they were just
enjoying the live music and were
probably too drunk.”
But he said they wouldn’t be
playing the same set three times

Touring small towns holds a
special place in Fagan’s heart.

never appreciated it as much as
he should have.

“I really miss that kind of
thing. As a band, we did so much
touring. Over and over and over.
There weren’t a lot of bands
doing that extensive amount of
touring to small towns,” Fagan
said.
FESTIVAL: The Mockers
played many of their early
gigs at Lincoln University in
the 1980s and will return for
Selwyn Sounds on March 3 at
the Lincoln Domain.
From playing in tiny Blenheim
pubs to a massive, empty Gore
hall, no town was left out.
“It was even better when we
started to become reasonably
popular and people knew the
material before we started playing,”
he said.
He’s looking forward to recreating
that in Lincoln with The
Mockers original 1985 line-up of
Brett Adams, Geoff Hayden and
Tim Wedde.
“It’ll be great playing with a lot
of other bands from that period,”
he said. This year’s nine-act bill
will include Jimmy Barnes, Stellar
and The Feelers.
“I can’t wait to see if Barnsey
can still hold those long, high
notes in Working Class Man.”
In the meantime, Fagan, who
is now based in Auckland, is
working on material with his
other band Fagan and the People,
which he’ll be recording at
the end of the year.

The Greatest Gift
by Rachael Johns
The poignant, heart-warming story of a woman who wants
nothing else than to be a mum, and one who never wanted to
be a mother.
Mother: Female parent of a child
Mum: The woman who nurtures, raises and loves a child
Radio host Harper Drummond lives for her glamorous career.
Every day she meets fascinating people doing extraordinary things,
but has begun to wonder whether there’s something more for her out
there. She’s financially secure, happily married and loves her job — what more could
she want from life? An interview with a childless couple prompts Harper to think about
whether she could make a contribution. She and her husband, Samuel, know they don’t
want a child in their lives, but could she help someone else become a mother?
The childhood cancer that left Claire Beggs infertile doesn’t matter to her husband,
Jasper. He loves her unreservedly, and they are passionate about their thriving hot air
balloon business in the Hunter Valley. Despite their contentment, Claire is desperate to
have a child — she knows Jasper would be a brilliant father and doesn’t want him to
regret choosing her over a family in the years to come. An egg donor seems to be Claire
and Jasper’s only chance of a happy family.
Can they find someone who will give them the greatest gift?
Poirot - Murder On The Orient
Express [Film Tie-in Edition]

Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. The luxurious
train is surprisingly full for the time of the year, but by the morning it is one
passenger fewer. An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, stabbed a
dozen times, his door locked from the inside.
Isolated and with a killer in their midst, detective Hercule Poirot must identify the
murderer – in case he or she decides to strike again.

Locations like this don’t come up often
but with our vendors committed to a move
overseas, this is a rare opportunity to settle
somewhere very special. In a park like
setting with gently sloping lawns and lush,
established gardens the property connects
directly to the waterfront via a pathway.
With nothing in the way, it’s a magnificent
panorama out to the Lyttelton Harbour
and surrounding hills. Peaceful and ever
changing, this must be the ultimate antidote
to life’s daily stresses.
The classic homestead sits at the top of
the property enjoying the best of the views
and sun. Built with family in mind there are
four bedrooms, two living, 2 sunrooms and
a large library/office that could be a fifth
bedroom. The main family area is open plan
with a huge kitchen at the heart. Granite
benches and state of the art appliances
make this a home-cook’s paradise. The
dining area and adjoining living both open
directly to a large deck and the ever-present
vista. A wood burner with a feature stone
surround adds the cosy warmth of real
flame. Adjoining these spaces is the second
living room, which in turn connects to
a sunny rear facing conservatory and
courtyard. Upstairs is the master suite,
library and a second sunroom with views
right to Godley Head - the perfect spot to
watch ships come and go, with yachts in the
foreground and kids jumping off the pier at
the bottom of your garden.
There are two luxury bathrooms one
being ensuite. There is two car garaging
and tons of off street parking for the whole
clan. Set in the small harbour community
of Governors Bay the property is an easy
commute to central Christchurch, and
a short stroll from all the community
amenities including bars and cafes, the
school and the local pool.
Open Homes Saturdays and Sundays
12:00pm - 12:45pm.
