Ban freedom campers
Yacht club
chief wants
same for
Akaroa
• By Sarla Donovan
A PUSH to prohibit freedom
camping within Akaroa
township is gaining momentum
after Queenstown announced a
ban at two hot spots.
Akaroa Yacht Club
commodore
Howard Wilson
wants the
city council
to follow
Queenstown’s
lead after Mayor
Howard
Wilson
Jim Boult
last month
announced a
ban at popular
Lake Hayes and the Shotover
Delta. Dr Wilson said he is
keen to see the same happen in
Akaroa.
He will make a deputation to
the Banks Peninsula Community
Board later this month – and had
originally planned to speak about
the need for better enforcement.
But following Queenstown’s
move, he will now be seeking a
complete ban.
It comes after photographs
were sent to the city council
documenting faeces and toilet
paper at the entry to a local park
and campers spotted washing
dishes and clothing at a public
fountain in the Akaroa recreation
area.
“I’ve never been aware of it
being so bad – not just in Akaroa
but everywhere,” Dr Wilson said.
“When people are flagrantly
abusing the area, it affects
tourism and health. It does have
health and safety issues. I think
they need to look seriously at
banning it.”
Freedom campers are already
prohibited at French Farm,
Wainui and Children’s Bay, but
fully self-contained camper vans
can park at the Akaroa Sports
Complex, the Akaroa Yacht Club
and the Akaroa Lighthouse for a
maximum of two days.
Dr Wilson has support from
Deputy Mayor Andrew Turner,
who said he would like to see the
prohibition extended to the yacht
club and lighthouse sites.

YACHT CLUB commodores aren’t people to
be trifled with.
So when one fires a broadside it pays to
take notice (see page 1).
Akaroa Yacht Club commodore Howard
Wilson wants freedom campers banned
from the village. I suspect he has many supporters.
It’s similar to what Queenstown has implemented; banning
freedom campers from some areas in the tourist haven.
Wilson has had enough of what freedom campers leave behind.
He will make a deputation to the Banks Peninsula Community
Board later this month. He had originally planned to speak about
the need for better enforcement. On the basis of that we’ve canvassed
the board members for their views.
Some have answered; others haven’t responded.

Rubbish bin clearing
• By Sarla Donovan
RUBBISH BINS will be emptied
twice a day in the Sumner
area after the city council was
criticised for failing to keep up
with clearing rubbish bins.
The bins were previously
scheduled for one collection per
day, Sunday-Friday, and two on
Saturday.
However, scorching
temperatures drawing people
to the beach put pressure on
the bins – leading residents to
speak out.
Now an evening collection
has been added to the daily
schedule, which includes
Taylors Mistake.
City council acting head of
parks Brent Smith said there
had been an increase in rubbish
volumes. Its contractor had
collected 20 per cent more
rubbish when compared to the
same period last year.
As well as the extra
collections, the city council was
investigating other changes.
“We’re looking at the number
and style of bins we provide
and we are also looking at
improved signage to inform
and encourage appropriate
behaviour,’’ Mr Smith said.
He said the city council has
had a high number of illegal
rubbish dumping reported.
“We have had 72 requests
for service come in over the
past two months that relate to
rubbish being dumped illegally,

which is an unacceptably high
number,” he said.
“We do our best to keep
our beaches, parks and public
spaces tidy by making sure we
regularly empty the rubbish
bins, but we need the public
to play their part too and take
some civic responsibility,’’ Mr
Smith said.
•A public meeting will be
held at the Sumner Centre:
Matuku Takotako at 7pm
tomorrow to discuss ideas on
how to make Sumner tidier.

Fulton Hogan will lease part of the
Allandale Reserve for an annual
rent of $14,500 after getting city
council approval on Thursday. The
money will go to the Allandale
Reserve Management Committee to
be spent on the reserve.
SKATE PARK OPENING SOON
The upgraded Lyttelton skate park is
on track for a February 26 opening.
The $375,000 site upgrade has been
funded primarily by the city council
– with some financial support from
South Port in Bluff. Work began
in November and when complete,
the park will feature a new bowl, a
quarter pipe, ramps, rails and edges,
and a fresh “side-to-side flow.”
HIGH FIRE RISK
The fire risk remains high after
Christchurch sweltered through
the hottest January on record.
NIWA’s monthly climate summary
showed the city recorded a mean
temperature 2.7 deg C more than
the normal. Dry conditions and
a further month of summer heat
are keeping fire authorities on
high alert. A wildfire broke out
on Thursday on the hills above
Cass Bay but ground crews and
helicopters prevented any significant
damage to property.

Take a trip down memory lane
• By Sarla Donovan
TAKE A trip down memory lane
this weekend at the fifth annual
Nostalgia Festival.
The event, held at Ferrymead
Heritage Park on Saturday, was
recently named as one of the
fastest growing and most-loved
festivals in the country by Air
New Zealand, organiser Johnny
Gibson said.
He’s curated an eclectic range
of acts for all ages and flavours
this year, from cult Dunedin
pop-rock group The Chills to Los
Angeles-based musical prodigy
Connan Mockasin.
It retains a local edge with
award-winning singer-songwriter
and Heathcote resident,
Amiria Grenell, appearing with
Amy Grace on the main stage as
The Swan Sisters.
Grenell’s latest, Autumn, was
a finalist for best folk album at
the 2016 New Zealand Music
Awards.
She has toured Australasia
with Fly My Pretties and is in
demand for festivals and events,
both as a solo performer and a
children’s entertainer.
Also on the main stage, Lyttelton-based
musician Richard
Larsen appears with Glass Vaults
– a popular Wellington group
SYNTH-POP: Lyttelton-based Richard Larsen will appear with
The Glass Vaults
producing bright, psychedelic
pop tunes. About 600 people
attended the inaugural Nostalgia
Festival in 2014 – this year, more
than four thousand are expected.
Mr Gibson said they were a
“community-minded” festival.
“We grow organically – we
don’t have a huge marketing
budget and blast it across the
city. An underground festival is
probably the best way to describe
it; it’s unique to the city and
unique to Ferrymead Heritage
Park.”
A second stage has been
added this year showcasing local
emerging artists and old school
vinyl-spinning DJ’s like Pylonz
and Instant Fantasy and the
uber-experienced Simon Kong.
Don’t expect hot dogs and candyfloss
vans; vendors are “real
food enthusiasts” like Sumner’s
Utopia Ice, Gatherings Restaurant
and Lyttelton food delivery
business, Green Dinner Table,
said Mr Gibson.
ALL AGES: Everyone is welcome at Nostalgia Festival.
“We’ve been accredited as a
conscious consumer festival
three years ago so we have been
working with the city council
on a zero waste system as well;
we’ll have reusable cups. We try
to have as little an impact on the
venue as possible.”
As well as music, food and
drink, there are street performers,
hourly theatre shows, steam
train rides and all of the regular
attractions within the park.
The festival is popular with
families and children and to
support those with little ones
Plunket Canterbury are providing
a feeding and nappy change
station as well.
Nostalgia Festival at
Ferrymead Heritage Park
runs from 12.30pm till 8pm
on Saturday. For tickets, go

Summit Rd night ban unlikely
• By Sarla Donovan
Andrew
Turner
NIGHT-TIME restrictions on
Summit Rd are looking unlikely.
Following negative public
feedback, city council staff will
not be recommending that
proposed night-time access
restrictions to Summit Rd and
Worsleys Rd go ahead.
However, a final recommendation
to the city council will
only be made by
the hearings panel
after community
deputations are
heard on February
15.
The time restrictions
would
prohibit vehicles
under 3500kg
from 10pm to 5am,
Thursday to Monday, and on
public holidays and were an attempt
to address concerns about
anti-social road use, safety,
vandalism, fire and littering.
Public consultation resulted in
865 submissions – 545 did not
support the proposal, 221 were
in support, and 99 were in support
but had some concerns.
These included restricting
landscape and astronomy
photographers; penalising
sightseekers; that it could drive
NIGHT VISION: Photographers wanting to take night-time images from the Summit Rd would

the problem elsewhere; and
that it would not be adequately
enforced by police.
Favourable comments related
to making the road safer for
cyclists and that Summit Rd was
a safer place for boy racers to be
than in the city where it is more
heavily populated.
A hearings panel will meet
to hear submitters on February
15, then make a final recommendation
to the city council on
whether to adopt the proposal.
Banks Peninsula city councillor
Andrew Turner is on the
panel and said for him, it would
be a question of looking at what
the effects of a ban would be,
namely “whether we’ve got a
problem that would be displaced
into other areas.”
There was no point in putting
rules in place if they weren’t going
to be enforced, he said.
“We can put whatever rules
in place we want, but if they’re
not going to have any practical
effect because of lack of an
enforcement regime . . . that’s
something we need to be aware
of.”
Senior Sergeant Kelly Larsen
told Bay Harbour News last
August there won’t be any extra
police to enforce the proposed
night-time restrictions.
City council manager transport
operations Aaron Haymes
said city council staff would
continue to work with police.
He said speed humps and
gates had been investigated “but
are not considered appropriate
for this particular situation.”

Concern over
changes to bus
stop locations
Fire rages, homes at risk
NEARLY HALF of submitters are
against plans to change pedestrian
crossing and bus stop locations on
Oxford St, Lyttleton.
The city council wants to make
the temporary pedestrian crossing
point at the intersection of Oxford
and Winchester Sts permanent and
replace the two existing bus stops
on Winchester and Oxford Sts,
which are positioned close together,
with a single bus stop outside Lyttelton
School on Oxford St.
New three-minute and two-hour
parking restrictions are also proposed
outside Lyttelton Primary
School to assist the pick-up/drop-off
for parents and daytime visitors to
the school and surrounding area.
The proposals would mean some
on-street parking being removed.
There were 22 submissions with
six respondents in general support,
seven supporting the plan but with
some concerns, and nine respondents
not in support.
Concerns centered on the loss
of the Winchester St bus stop –
which services nearby pensioner
flats – and reduced car parking for
residents and visitors.
A report will be presented to the
Banks Peninsula Community Board
at their meeting on February 12.

Call for freedom campers ban
SCENIC: The scenic views from the Akaroa Lighthouse have made it a popular spot with
freedom campers.
PHOTO: DANIEL GERHARD
•From page 1
“Akaroa town centre and the
residential area around it are not
appropriate places for freedom
camping. A small number of
spaces should be set aside by
the boat park . . . there is also a
camping ground in Akaroa and
there are other camping opportunities
on Banks Peninsula,” said
Mr Turner.
He said when the city council
passed the Freedom Camping
Bylaw in 2015, only sites which
had experienced problems could
have restrictions imposed.
“At the time we put the bylaw
together, you were only allowed
to create a bylaw that addressed
problems under the Freedom
Camping Act and we didn’t have
problems in the residential area
of wider Akaroa at that time. We
did have problems in Akaroa
town centre. I think on a review
of the bylaw it would be easy now
for us to take a more restrictive
view . . . while allowing some
freedom camping at the entrance
by the boat park.”
Any changes to the bylaw
would have to be done as part of
a review, which isn’t set down for
another five years.
However, Cr Turner encouraged
residents to engage with the
city council and the Banks Peninsula
Community Board, which
could request a review.
“It may be that we (the city
council) could make some small
changes, responding to that sort
of a request.”
When Bay Harbour News asked
whether a ban would be looked
at, city council acting head of
regulatory compliance Claire Le
Grice said there were “no plans to
consider banning freedom camping
in Akaroa at this time.”
She said the city council would
maintain a “watching brief” on
activities over the summer period.
Meanwhile, Akaroa Police
Senior Constable Anita Osborne
is encouraging members of the
public to report any sightings
of people relieving themselves
in a public place. In a Facebook
post on the issue, she said even
if police were not in the area, the
job would be recorded and staff
dispatched.
“Take down vehicle registration
details, and if possible get
photos of the person(s). Then if
they do leave the area we can still
follow up so that they don’t keep
doing it wherever they go,” Ms
Osborne said.
Although she had been told informally
about people using the
cemetery, parks and lighthouse
area in Akaroa as a toilet, she said
no one had phoned the police at
the time it was happening.
If more people made complaints
either to police or to the
city council, there would be more
accurate statistics to “back up all
the talk,” she said.
Felix Dawson, Mt Herbert
– “Unless the continued increase
of freedom campers is likely to
stop, then banning them around
the township will probably be
required.

Seafarer funding meeting
• By Sarla Donovan
A MEETING will be held with
Lyttelton Port of Christchurch
to discuss funding for the
seafarers centre – including a
possible levy on visiting ships.
Mayor Lianne Dalziel has
asked Deputy Mayor Andrew
Turner and city council staff to
meet with LPC and report back
within two months.
The issue of how the centre is
funded was raised as part of a
Banks Peninsula Community
Board report to the city council
last Thursday.
The chairman
of the
Lyttelton
Seafarers’
Centre charitable
trust
John McLister,
wants to see a
John McLister
port levy on
visiting ships
to fund longer
opening hours and a full-time
welfare officer.
He said the city council has a
moral obligation to provide for
seafarer welfare under the Maritime
Labour Convention.
Currently, LPC contributes
$5000 yearly towards running
costs at the centre, which provides
currency exchange, Wi-Fi,
phone and welfare services from
TEMPORARY: The Lyttelton Seafarers’ Centre needs more
money to be able to expand its services.
7-10pm Monday-Friday but
Mr McLister said that was not
enough.
It should be open 50 hours a
week to meet demand, he said.
He also wants to see a full-time
welfare officer employed who
can go onboard ships.
Ms Dalziel said the city council
could not direct LPC to impose
a levy – however, meeting
with them in the first instance
to talk about the issue would be
a good first step.
“A conversation with LPC
may resolve the situation.”
She said if central government
directed every port in the country
to levy for on-shore welfare
services, “costs would fall where
they lie – with the employers of
the seafarers.”
Central Ward city councillor
Deon Swiggs said the city had
an airport with excellent facilities
for airline staff to use after
long flights.
“We don’t have those same
level of facilities for people that
have been a ship for six months
potentially.”
The city council also passed a
resolution supporting the provision
of access to shore-based
welfare facilities as set out in the
MLC.
Mr McLister said the city council
had shown “wonderful support”
for the work of the centre.
“The good thing is that now
all the parties involved in the
welfare of the seafarers can begin
a constructive conversation
about how we . . . ensure the best
welcome is possible for seafarers
coming to Lyttelton, rather than
just leaving that to the welfare
organisation.”

New Moncks Bay slipway
needs to be repaired
• By Sarla Donovan
AN EXPERIMENTAL new
slipway at the Moncks Bay boat
ramp site hasn’t worked and will
need to be fixed.
It was put in by the city council
prior to Christmas but on Friday
city council manager capital delivery
community Darren Moses
confirmed it wasn’t installed
correctly,
Prior to installation, decaying
concrete was removed from the
original ramp - shortening its
length.
And the hinged extension sits
much higher than the original
ramp beneath, making the dropoff
difficult to launch from.
Christchurch Yacht Club commodore
Richard Ineson said it
was “a bit of a shambles” at the
moment as sailors and jet skiers
were avoiding the slipway and
launching off the beach instead.
This was creating concern
amongst beachgoers.
Mr Ineson and club president
Lyndsey Ebert met with engineer
Paul Ferguson and city council
parks project manager Steven
Gray last week to talk about the
club’s concerns.
The club has its own slipway,
said Mr Ineson, but does use

the city council one as the lack
of rocks and concrete made it
“friendlier” for yachts and other
boats.
Mr Moses said discussions
were “ongoing with the yacht
club to determine an agreed
solution, which, in turn, will
determine timing of remedial
works and costs.”

Still Me By Jojo Moyes
The third Lou Clark novel by Jojo Moyes, following the Number
One international bestsellers Me Before You and After You Lou Clark
arrives in New York ready to start a new life, confident that she
can embrace this new adventure and keep her relationship with
Ambulance Sam alive across several thousand miles. She is hurled
into the world of the super-rich Gopniks: Leonard and his much
younger second wife, Agnes, and a never-ending array of household
staff and hangers-on. Lou is determined to get the most out of the
experience and throws herself into her job and New York life within
this privileged world. Before she knows what’s happening, Lou is
mixing in New York high society, where she meets Joshua Ryan, a
man who brings with him a whisper of her past. In Still Me, as Lou
tries to keep the two sides of her world together, she finds herself
carrying secrets - not all her own - that cause a catastrophic change
in her circumstances. And when matters come to a head, she has to
ask herself: Who is Louisa Clark? And how do you reconcile a heart
that lives in two places?
Fire and Fury By Michael Wolff
With extraordinary access to the Trump White House, Michael Wolff tells the
inside story of the most controversial presidency of our time. The first nine
months of Donald Trump’s term were stormy, outrageous, and absolutely
mesmerising. Now, thanks to his deep access to the West Wing, bestselling
author Michael Wolff tells the fascinating story of how Trump launched a
tenure as volatile and fiery as the man himself. In this explosive book, Wolff
provides a wealth of new details about the chaos in the Oval Office. Among
the revelations: - What President Trump’s staff really thinks of him - What
inspired Trump to claim he was wire-tapped by President Obama - Why FBI
director James Comey was really fired - Why chief strategist Steve Bannon
and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner couldn’t be in the same room -
Who is really directing the Trump administration’s strategy in the wake of
Bannon’s firing - What the secret to communicating with Trump is - What the
Trump administration has in common with the movie The Producers. Never
before has a presidency so divided the American people. Brilliantly reported
and astoundingly fresh, Michael Wolff’s Fire and Fury shows us how and
why Donald Trump has become the king of discord and disunion.
Breaking Free By rachel Jeffs
In this searing memoir of survival in the spirit of Stolen Innocence, the
daughter of the self-proclaimed Prophet of the FLDS Church takes you
deep inside the secretive, polygamist and fundamentalist Mormon cult
run by her family and recounts her escape. Born into the Fundamentalist
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Rachel Jeffs was raised in a
strict patriarchal culture defined by subordinate sister wives and men they
must obey. No one in this radical splinter sect of the Mormon Church was
more powerful or terrifying than its leader Warren Jeffs--Rachel’s father. In
2006 the FBI placed him on its Ten Most Wanted List. Rachel describes her
harrowing life with Warren Jeffs, and the years of physical and emotional
abuse she suffered. Sexually assaulted, compelled into an arranged
polygamous marriage, locked away in ‘houses of hiding’, as punishment
for perceived transgressions, and physically separated from her children,
Rachel eventually found the courage to leave the church in 2015. A
shocking and mesmerising memoir of faith, abuse, courage and freedom,
this is an expose of religious extremism and a beacon of hope for anyone
overcoming obstacles or trauma in their own lives.

Life of a Bank Peninsula police officer
Fire rages, homes at risk
•From page 11
I went to the early stages of the
recruitment process thinking
it probably wouldn’t be for me.
because I was quite a private, shy
sort of person. But I thoroughly
enjoyed it. When I got sent out
on experience in patrol cars – I
loved it. I was lucky enough that
that year they were recruiting for
Christchurch and they weren’t
for Rotorua so we as a family all
moved down to Christchurch.
Where did you train?
I went to the Royal New Zealand
Police College in Wellington
for six months while my family
stayed in Rotorua, and once I
finished my training, we all
moved south. Before that, I had a
community work job and I was a
psychiatric nurse prior to that.
Could you tell me a bit about
your family?
My children are now all in
their 20s. I’ve got a 29-year-old
daughter and 26-year-old twin
boys. One of the boys was interested
in police work but he’s off
doing other things at the moment
so I’m not sure if he’ll come back
to it. My boys are in Christchurch
and my daughter is an artist and
she lives over here as well. She
does all sorts: Painting, pen, ink.
It’s good to have them all living
close by.
LIFE-CHANGING: Senior Constable Anita Osborne during her
deployment in the Solomon Islands in 2011.
Do you do shift work?
We have rostered day and
evening shifts, but then we’re
on call for two-thirds of the
time. So this week, I’m in an
eight-day roster and five nights
of that are on call which is a real
long haul. But I have a shared
property with my family – my
parents and my daughter – so
they pick up the slack for me.
They’re great. I’ve got dogs and
I don’t have to worry about all
that, they take care of things
when I’m called out for extended
hours. I’ve got border collies
and my son’s chocolate labrador
at the moment. He’s in a house
in Christchurch which doesn’t
allow dogs. I got my collie about
10 years ago and then the other
son got a border collie that was
an ex-farm dog, so I’ve ended up
with his one as well. I’m like the
home for adopted dogs from the
children – I hear that’s common.
What’s the toughest part of
your job?
Dealing with confrontation
and angry people. And going
from a difficult, stressful job
where someone died and then
having to deal with another job
where the person who’s rocked
up to the station door has no idea
what you’ve just been dealing
with and what they’ve come to
complain about is a big deal for
them. So you’re trying to still
meet their needs even if it seems
like a trivial matter compared
to what you’ve just been dealing
with. That’s the really, really hard
stuff – you’re on the phone or in
person with someone who’s just
had this life-changing thing happen
and someone else comes in
to complain that their neighbour
has cut a branch off their tree.
What do you get up to in your
down-time?
Tramping, kayaking, paddleboarding,
biking. I do a trip to
Australia each year with Cycle
Queensland, which is a 10-day
cycle trip. It’s about 600km of
biking and all the logistics are
done – your stuff gets taken by
truck each day, you just get on
your bike and go. I’ve done it
about six times; it’s a really good
trip. You book in, you pay for it,
you book your flight, you turn up
and you bike, and at the end of
the day there’s a tent with meals
and sometimes a band playing.
You’ve been a police officer for
nearly 21 years. How has the job
changed you?
Majorly. Like I said, I was a
pretty introverted person before.
I’ve had to really work on my
confidence and the job helps you
get a wide experience. I was in
the negotiators squad for a while,
I was a detective for 12 years
and I did a deployment to the
Solomon Islands for six months.
Every time I’ve tackled a new
challenge I can see that I changed
a lot. The Solomon Islands
particularly was massive – going
away from your family, being in
such a different country. I think
it was the second day I was there
they had a riot and there were
rocks flying everywhere. It was
very different to New Zealand.
It taught me that when you have
limited resources people-wise,
you have to be creative in how to
resolve things. I’ve got no plans
to change – I’m really enjoying
community policing.

Well handled, Richard and Jo. I
always have the utmost respect
for you guys, and I wish others
would too. I have never heard of
this ever being an issue before.
This is so disappointing.
Roxanne Oliver - I saw how
many the other weekend it was
so very busy. I didn’t believe my
eyes so this does not surprise me.
Jet skis there as well.
Philip Nelson – Very poor
behaviour, but it does go to show
there is a need for more councilowned
pontoons and jetties that
the public can access.
Janice Belgrave – I don’t
think obnoxious behaviour is on,
but do agree that it has exposed
a need for an alternative to
swimming at the beach.
The beach itself is never
without danger either, and
whenever people are around
water anywhere, there is a
possible potential for incidents.
In years gone by, this body of
water has not been that inviting
for swimming, due to pollution,
but now that that issue seems to
have been somewhat resolved,
perhaps there could be a section
marked off with buoys or
wavebreaker ropes such as pool
lane markers, to allow for the
harmonious use by swimmers
and sailors alike?

alarmed to see the ‘Abusive teens

Our generation bemoans the
fact that children and young

physical and outdoor things that
we did at their age, and are more
interested in social media, smartphones

Here we have groups of them

only occasion I’ve come across
this. I recently witnessed a couple
on the bus getting very annoyed
with a small group of young
people for doing nothing more
that being noisy on their way to
spending time on the beach.
In the eyes of many it seems

Fundraiser for health
hub reaches $1m
• By Sarla Donovan
ONE MILLION dollars has
been raised by the community
towards Akaroa’s news health
hub and a decision on a
contractor is expected soon.
The facility will house 12 beds
for inpatient and aged care, a
general practice and other community
services.
The $4.5 million facility, a
partnership between the Canterbury
District Health Board and
the community, will be built on
the former Akaroa Hospital site.
The community has been
without a hospital since it was
demolished following the September
4, 2010, earthquake.
Canterbury District Health

from prospective building
contractors in the week prior to
Christmas.
Akaroa Health Hub Fundraising
Committee member
Gretchen Foster said the committee
was feeling “pretty good”
about their progress.
“We’ll be able to approach
national bodies for grants once
a contractor is in place,” Mrs
Foster said.

is needed from the community
within four years of building
commencing.
Most of the funds raised to
date have come from the Guardians
of Akaroa Hospital, Akaroa
and Bays Lions Club, community
events and individual and
group donations.
Committee chairman Paul
de Latour said the community’s
fundraising efforts were “remarkable.”
In addition to the $2.5 million
contribution to the building of
the facility, a further $500,000
will also need to be raised to
establish operational services at
the centre.
The board is currently looking
to appoint a general manager to
manage the establishment and

The opening will be attended by
Mayor Lianne Dalziel, Cashmere

Ms Dalziel will officially reopen

John Cracroft Wilson.
The building was rebuilt by the
community in 1979 after fire damage.
Repairs and strengthening
work were expected to be completed
by mid-2017.
“Walls have been upgraded and

seismic separation joints formed,

(Lythrum salicaria) rapidly invades
damp ground and shallow
water. When left uncontrolled,
its dense bushy growth forms
massive, tall, impenetrable
stands that will out compete our
native species. Its ability to form
monocultures changes a wetland
and marginal habitats and
food sources for many fish and
bird species,” said Mr Sullivan.
Left uncontrolled, purple
loosestrife can form monocultures
causing blockages and
flooding.
“We don’t want this for our
region’s wetlands and watercourses,”
Mr Sullivan said.
Purple loosestrife produces
millions of long-lived, highly viable
seeds from an early age. It
can tolerate hot or cold conditions,
and low to high nutrient
levels in the water.
Its seed is spread by the movement
of water, contaminated
machinery and soil.
Now is the optimum time to
identify if you have purple loosestrife
on your property.
What to look out for:
•A tall green perennial herb
that grows anywhere between 1
and 3m tall in summer.
•It will have a taproot with
many branched stems that feel
square shaped when you rub
them between your thumb and
finger.
•Look for narrow leaves that
are in pairs and alternate up the
stem.
•During the summer months,
it will have showy, densely hairy
flower head spikes.
•Later in the season you may
see blackish seed capsules, about
3mm long.
•There are no similar species
that grow this tall.
What to do:
•Take a photo of the suspected
plant(s) and email it, along with
the location of the sighting to
Gemma Livingstone at gemma.
livingstone@ecan.govt.nz
•Alternatively, you can call
0800 EC INFO and leave your
name, contact number, and the
location of the suspected sighting.

Your Local Views
The things we spend our rates on
Following
recent
publicity
around
rubbish bin
collection in
the Bays area,
Port Hills MP
Ruth Dyson
takes a moment to reflect
on how our rates are spent
We are very fortunate, in
my view, to have had for many
years a city council that believes
in ensuring that more than
just potholes and rubbish are
attended to as its job – although
in recent times those in the
beach suburbs know very well
that it wasn’t doing the rubbish
job quite as well as was needed.
But the things I am talking
about are the festivals, the events,
the fun things that are so often
sponsored by the city council
(sometimes in partnership) that
are then free or very reasonably
priced for people to enjoy.
I always enjoy the Ingham’s
Lazy Sundays which is an
example of that partnership –
what is better than sitting in
the Botanical Gardens on a fine
Sunday afternoon listening to
great music and surrounded by
people who are doing the same –
and it’s free.
And likewise the buskers are
just a delight and even though
you should make a financial
contribution, for the street gigs
you can just enjoy it if you don’t
have any money.
The final figures for the
buskers hasn’t been publicised
yet so it’s not known if this year
was another loss or if it made
POPULAR: The World
Buskers Festival is one of the
events supported by the city
council.
a profit. Certainly the better
weather brought out the crowds
compared to last year.
As well as the actual
shows that I went to, I really
enjoyed sitting and watching
the audience watching the
performers.
I went to one event in Albion
Square in Lyttelton on a
beautiful Saturday afternoon.
It was packed with a very agediverse
crowd. And people were
laughing and clapping and
talking with one another.
I know that we pay our rates
so that our city council provides
services – water, sewerage, roads,
footpaths, rubbish collections
etcetera. But I am delighted that
our city council also invests a
small amount of our rates and
gets a really big return – fun and
happiness for our residents. I
think we deserve it!

Blitz on sea lavender
Fire rages, homes at risk
• By Sarla Donovan
Yvette
Couch-Lewis
A NEW plan to restore the
ecological and cultural
health of Lyttelton
Harbour is being
launched next month.
The Whaka Ora
Healthy Harbour plan
arose after community
consultation on the Lyttelton
Port Recovery
Plan showed a need for
a co-ordinated approach
to address water quality
and environmental problems in
the area.
Soil erosion and sediment
run-off, storm and wastewater
discharge, and vessel and port operation
contaminants were among
a range of issues identified.
Key organisations within the
Lyttelton catchment – the city
council, Environment Canterbury,
Te Runanga o Ngai Tahu, Te
Hapu o Ngati Wheke and Lyttelton
Port Company – have worked
on the plan for more than a year.
A governance group made up
of a representative from each
group will oversee annual project
plans and budgets, consider
future funding streams and set
up a working group to deliver
programmes.
It will include LPC chief executive
Peter Davie, TRONT representative
Yvette Couch-Lewis
(chairwoman), ECan councillor
Elizabeth Cunningham,
and Te Hapu o Ngati
Wheke representative
Cara Edwards.
The organisations
involved have spent
$600,000 over a threeyear
period ending in
2018 to develop the plan
and for its initial implementation.
Funding will come
through the organisations’
existing work programmes.
However, according to the plan,
“implementation . . . will require
additional
resourcing to implement the priority
and short-term projects.”
The plan will be reviewed
three-yearly with the first review
in 2021.
Whaka Ora Healthy Harbour
management plan will be
launched at Rapaki Marae on
March 7.
There will also be a community
launch with beach clean ups and
barbecues around Lyttelton, Governors
Bay and Diamond Harbour
on March 9 from 4.30pm.
•The draft plan can be
viewed online at http://
healthyharbour.org.nz/
to eradicate pest
A BLITZ attack on sea lavender
– a pest plant that strangles
native species – has brought its
eradication one step closer.
City council ecologist Kristina
Macdonald led 12 members
of the city council’s parks team
and a Forest and Bird volunteer
on a search and destroy mission
targeting sea lavender plants
near the lower Heathcote River
last week.
The Heathcote River was the
first site in New Zealand where
the pest plant was found and
the city council is looking at
eradicating it within the next 10
years.
Sea lavender, which has deep
tap roots, spreads to form a
dense mat in saltmarsh areas. It
crowds out existing native plant
species preventing them from
establishing.
“There used to be thousands
of plants here but now that we
are down to lower numbers we
think eradication might truly be
possible,” Ms Macdonald says.
About 650 plants were dug
out during last week’s project in
the lower Heathcote River area,
the only site in Christchurch
PEST PLANT: City council ecologist Kristina Macdonald helps
dig out sea lavender plants near the lower Heathcote River.
city where it has been found.
The next closest affected site is
in Akaroa which the Department
of Conservation controls.
“It’s been there for a while
and both staff and volunteers
have been controlling it for over
10 years. We thought we’d get
a group together and do a grid
search and remove what we
could find,” Ms Macdonald said
“It was a very successful effort.”
Residents living in the
Lower Heathcote area should
check their gardens for this
“wee beastie” which will be in
flower for the next couple of
weeks, she said.
“If they find any plants they
should dig them out making
sure they get the roots and put
them into the city council red
rubbish bins.”
Forest and Bird own and look
after the Calder Green reserve
on the Lower Heathcote where
sea lavender was first found in
the 1980s.

Summer surf ‘keeps on giving’
Aaron's Surf Report
SPORTS
THE EPIC summer just keeps
on giving at the moment.
Consistent warm days, light
winds and 20 deg C plus water
temperatures have meant for
perfect surf conditions.
Swell-wise we’ve been alternating
weeks with one flat week followed
by one good week of swell
so there have been plenty of fun
waves around.
This week the tropical wave
machine kicks into gear with a
big low dropping down from the
Coral Sea.
A huge, but short lived swell
charged through on Thursday
producing some great waves but
the wind unfortunately was a bit
too strong for epic conditions.
We should see plenty of east
and north-easterly swells from
the tropics this month as this is
traditionally our best season for
surf.
Point Surf team held the annual
PST trophy over the weekend.
The groms surfed perfect
little two-foot waves on Saturday

at Stoke St and the adults battled
three-foot-plus conditions at
Taylors on the Sunday. Rodney
Somogyvari won the open with
Aaron Stanley-Joblin second. In
the cadets, Jordan Sparrow won
the boys and Sienna O’Shaunesy
won the girls. Jack Tyro won the
younger boys age group.
There’s been a lot happening
on the contest scene with local
surfers achieving some great
results around the country.
The highlights include Harrison
Whiteside chasing the New
Zealand surf series all last year,
finishing the 2017 national series
with a second on the under-20
circuit and a third in the open
men’s.
Harrison has been the South
Island’s quiet achiever recently
and is consistently one of New
Zealand’s top surfers competing
against New Zealand’s best.
Hugh Ritchie from Exit Surf
travelled all the way to Hainan
Island in China for the ISA world
longboarding champs as part of
a four person New Zealand team.
Hugh was disappointed in his
results with small inconsistent
surf making things difficult. He
placed 31st which is still pretty
good on a world stage.
Donna and Ava Henderson
had great results at the Health
2000 national champs in Gisborne,
both winning national titles
in the over 40 and under-14.
Lucy Te Moananui was also
there, winning the over 30s title
and placing third in the SUP but
just missing out on second and
the New Zealand SUP team by
half a point. Estella Hungerford
was second in the longboard and
fourth in the under-16s.
Jordan Sparrow has been
chasing the South Island groms
series and posted his first win in
great waves at Westport. Jordan
smashed two good waves to win
the under-18 boys final against a
tough field. Ava Henderson won
both the under-14 and under-16
girls in Westport and under-14s
in Dunedin. Jack Tyro won the
under-12 boys in Westport.
Holly Campbell, Poppy Entwisle,
Olive Entwisle, Amelie Wink
and Ruby Armstrong have all
been getting great results too.
Events coming up include the
Malfunction Longboard event
at New Brighton on February
17-18 and the Cape Classic in
Westport, 24-25 February.

The Saboteur: The Aristocrat
Who Became France’s Most
Daring Anti-Nazi Commando
by Paul Kix
In the tradition of ‘Agent Zigzag’ comes a breathtaking
biography of WWII’s ‘Scarlet Pimpernel’ as fast-paced
and emotionally intuitive as the best spy thrillers. This
celebrates unsung hero Robert de La Rochefoucauld, an aristocrat turned
anti-Nazi saboteur, and his exploits as a British Special Operations Executivetrained
resistant. A scion of one of the oldest families in France, Robert de
La Rochefoucauld was raised in a magnificent chateau and educated in
Europe’s finest schools. When the Nazis invaded and imprisoned his father,
La Rochefoucauld escaped to England and was trained in the dark arts
of anarchy and combat – cracking safes, planting bombs and killing with
his bare hands – by a collection of SOE spies. With his newfound skills,
La Rochefoucauld returned to France and organized Resistance cells, blew
up fortified compounds and munitions factories, interfered with Germany’s
wartime missions and executed Nazi officers. Caught by the Germans, La
Rochefoucauld withstood months of torture and escaped his own death
sentence, not once but twice.
The 1,000-Year-Old Boy
by Ross Welford
The astonishing, beautiful new story for all readers of 10 and over from
the bestselling and Costa-shortlisted author of TIME TRAVELLING WITH A
HAMSTER.
‘A wonderful story’ Kiran Millwood Hargrave There are stories about people
who want to live forever. This is not one of those stories. This is a story
about someone who wants to stop… Alfie Monk is like any other nearly
teenage boy – except he’s 1,000 years old and can remember the last
Viking invasion of England.
Obviously no one believes him. So when everything Alfie knows and loves
is destroyed in a fire, and the modern world comes crashing in, Alfie
embarks on a mission to find friendship, acceptance, and a different way to
live… which means finding a way to make sure he will eventually die.

REAL ESTATE
Love the location, build the dream - “As-Is, Where-Is”
37 Horotane Valley Rd, Heathcote
Auction: 22 February 2018, unless sold prior
4 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms | 3 toilets | 1 living room | 1 dining room | 2 car-garage | Listing ID: FM5361
A myriad of possibilities fill the mind
with what could be achieved at this 4 acre
Horotane Valley property which is being
sold on an ‘as is, where is’ basis.
With the Port Hills as its backdrop and
views that stretch across to the city, this
property is perfectly positioned to enjoy
the vistas and micro-climate that this area
is so renowned for. The surrounds offer a
genuine sense of seclusion and tranquility
despite it being just a five-minute drive
from central Ferrymead and approx. 15
minutes from the central city.
The generous four-bedroom, threebathroom
family character home has a
verandah and a great outlook with lovely
space surrounding the home. However, the
spacious interior has visibly felt the effects
of the city’s seismic activity and is now a
little worse for wear, which provides the
new buyer with a superb opportunity to
either breathe new life into the home, or
perhaps start from scratch.
One particularly noteworthy feature
of this property is the converted double
garage which now hosts a single studio
with a bathroom, and it is a space that
could easily be used as accommodation
once any repairs have commenced on the
home itself.
The sprawling four acres of semi-rural
land has great biodiversity and is non-sub
dividable with established gardens, fruit
trees, the sweet sound of birdsong and very
usable flat lawn.
It hosts numerous outbuildings which
include a tunnel house, shade house, sleep
out, horse stables, double garage with
separate workshop, two storage units, a
railway carriage and three sheds.
Buyers who have dreamt of creating a
life in a convenient countryside setting
will gravitate towards this property which
presents the promise of a project and
exciting potential.
Having made countless memories at this
property for the past 25 years, the time
has arrived to downsize, and the vendors
are determined to achieve a result. Early
inspection is recommended.
Auction date Thursday 22 Feb 12:00 p.m.
(Grenadier House, 98 Moorhouse Ave)
Unless Sold Prior
Open Home Dates: Wednesday and
Saturday 3.00pm – 4.00pm until auction
day. See you at one of the Open Days, or for
a private viewing or for more information
