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.

the Church Bay development.

Call for Beachville Rd clean-up 


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

In Brief 

Fire rages, homes at risk 

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 


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 


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 


REVAMP: An artist’s impression of the ferry terminal at Lyttelton Port. 

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 


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.

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.

•From page 1 

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. 

We’ve had two fires at Birdlings 

Flat since we’ve been living there 

and once they take hold in that 

matagouri . . .” 

Little River Campground 

owner Marcus Puentener said 

that as a rural property owner 

with native bush, the prospect 


Firefighting capacity worry 

of it going up in flames was a 

worry. 

“If anything, we need a larger 

truck, being in a rural area. 

We had a massive fire up Okuti 

Valley two years ago and they 

were limited in where they could 

get their vehicles so anything 

that would limit their capacity to 

help in an emergency would be a 

concern.”

Pedestrian 

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.

Long-serving MP still looking 


‘I wanted to 

change the 

world. Make it 

a better place’ 

CHOOK

Dyson at home

MARTIN 

HUNTER 


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 – 

Ms Dyson 

speaking at 

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.

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 


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 

the walking 

track 

between 

Cass Bay 

and Corsair 

Bay. 

Walking tracks a safety concern 


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.

Last weekend

to say a huge thank you for their 

support and hard work. 

Members and supporters 

are truly the backbone of our 

National Party and Port Hills 

electorate, and I thank you for 

your support and involvement. 

We ran a strong Port Hills 

campaign and were delighted to 

have won the party vote, which 

contributed to National’s overall 

success. 

It was a difficult week for me 

and I know the same for many 

when the devastating news was 

presented that National will not 

be returned to Government, in

spite of getting 44.4 per cent of

of MMP and we accept the 

decision and move forward. 

I congratulate the new prime

Sage as minister of conservation 

and Ruth Dyson as Labour Party 

chief whip. 

With 56 National MPs, the 

opposition will be the largest and

Our outgoing prime minister,

minister. I am incredibly proud 

to continue serving under his 

leadership

Barbara Crooks 

writes about 

Ferrymead 

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 

on the Caterpillar with a very

This was the first time since

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

CHAMPIONS: Jean Kozyniak and Oska Baynes receive their prizes for victory in Sunday’s race. 

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. 

GOOD JOB: Department 

of Conservation ranger 

Bruce Webster gives the 

Boulder Bay course the 

thumbs up. 

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 

42s, 2; Brett Tingay, 39m 21s, 

3; Chris Dunell, 39m 48s, 4; 

David Fitch, 40m 44s, 5. 

Women: Jean Kozyniak,

News 

• 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

in a row in March. 

“It’ll still be riotous.” 

Touring small towns holds a 

special place in Fagan’s heart. 

He said, looking back now, he 

never appreciated it as much as 

he should have. 

We will deliver!

“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] 

by Agatha Christie 

Agatha Christie’s most famous murder mystery, reissued with a new cover to tie in 

with the hugely anticipated 2017 film adaptation. 

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.

BAY HARBOUR 


REAL ESTATE 

Spectacular seascape classic 

11 Cholmondeley Lane, Governors Bay 

Auction: Thursday, 9 November 2017 Unless Sold Prior 

4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 3 toilets | 2 living rooms | 1 office/study | 2 car-garage | Listing ID BE192909 

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.
