COCKLE NUMBERS in the<br />
Avon-Heathcote Estuary are in<br />
serious decline.<br />
A six-month study shows the<br />
population has fallen dramatically<br />
since a 2012 survey, from<br />
around 400 per sq m to between<br />
50 and 80 per sq m in some<br />
areas.<br />
Biological sciences student<br />
Stephanie Hampson has been researching<br />
the extent and impact<br />
of harvesting on the health and<br />
sustainability of estuary shellfish<br />
beds – an important feeding<br />
grounds for birds.<br />
The results suggest the current<br />
limit of 150 cockles per person<br />
per day is too high and needs to<br />
be reduced or even a ban put in<br />
place, Ms Hampson said.<br />
Auckland’s limit is 50 per person<br />
per day, which she believes<br />
would be more appropriate if<br />
harvesting is to continue.<br />

Christine Wilson has died after a<br />
short illness.<br />

“Christine was a jewel. She loved<br />
her community, selflessly dedicating<br />
her life to public service.”<br />
Ms Wilson was the sister of<br />
former All Blacks Graeme and<br />
Stephen Bachop and mother to<br />
former All Blacks Nathan and<br />
Aaron Mauger, who now respectively<br />

Turner said he was saddened to<br />
hear of her death.<br />
“My thoughts are with her family<br />

Ms Wilson had been a highly<br />
effective board chair and would<br />
be much missed in the community.<br />

Ideas mooted for Godley House site<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
Richard<br />
Suggate<br />
A PROJECT manager could<br />
help decide the future of the<br />
former Godley House site in<br />
Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />
That’s the message from<br />
Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> Community<br />
Association chairman Richard<br />
Suggate following a meeting<br />
with city council staff last week.<br />
The historic building was<br />
built in 1880 and used as a<br />
hotel, restaurant and conference<br />
centre from 1911 until the<br />
September<br />
4, 2010,<br />
earthquake.<br />
It suffered<br />
substantial<br />
damage in the<br />
February 22,<br />
2011, earthquake<br />
and was<br />
subsequently<br />
demolished.<br />
Since then the grounds have<br />
been used for outdoor concerts<br />
and other events.<br />
Mr Suggate said the community<br />
had been proposing ideas<br />
for the site since 2012 but not<br />
had any response from the city<br />
council.<br />
The issue was subsequently<br />
put aside while the Diamond<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> Village Plan was being<br />
developed.<br />
“I’ve said we need someone<br />
to engage with us as to what we<br />
can put there. It’s a key site for<br />
the community and there’s a<br />
definite loss of facility.”<br />
He said the Dark Star Cafe adjacent<br />
to the site, which opened<br />
in December 2016, was on a<br />
temporary lease in a temporary<br />
building.<br />
“We need some permanent<br />
solutions and the best way is<br />
to assign a (city council) staff<br />
member and for that person to<br />
look at the ideas the community<br />
has for the site and then look<br />
at how that might be achieved<br />
either by the city council building<br />
something and leasing it<br />
out or a kind of public/private<br />
partnership.”<br />

Godley<br />
House was<br />
demolished<br />
in 2011 after<br />

earthquake. <br />
performance space and shifting<br />
the library from its current location<br />
beneath the community<br />
hall were all ideas that had been<br />
raised by residents, Mr Suggate<br />
said.<br />
He’s asked the city council to<br />
engage a staff member to talk to<br />
the community and put together<br />
a plan that can be considered<br />
by the Banks Peninsula Community<br />
Board.<br />

It won’t happen overnight: Creating<br />
wealth through New Zealand property<br />
by Heather Morris<br />
‘It won’t happen overnight…’ takes you through the process of getting started<br />
in property investment in New Zealand. Mike Pero and David Weusten step you<br />
through almost everything a successful property investor needs to know to succeed,<br />
from the basics of budgeting through to tips on selecting property, exercising due<br />
diligence and managing the buying process itself. They also cover managing debt<br />
and cash flow as these are critical elements to successful property management.<br />
Those who invest in property are often criticised in the media for being greedy,<br />
self-serving and a blight on the country. Yet without the people looking to create<br />
wealth for themselves through property investment, and providing the capital to<br />
house those who can’t or chose not to own their own property, it would be left to<br />
the government, local bodies or charitable organisations to provide rental housing<br />
resulting in higher taxes for all New Zealanders. Mike Pero and David Weusten offer<br />
the essential handbook to equip new property investors and provide reassurance<br />
to those already in the market. Although it won’t happen overnight with the wisdom<br />
and experience this book provides you can be assured it will happen!<br />
Rugby Rebel<br />
by Christopher Tobin<br />
Rugby Rebel investigates a sensational accusation made against brilliant All<br />
Black winger Duncan McGregor that he sold team secrets which cost the Original<br />
All Blacks their unbeaten record on the famous 1905 tour of Britain, France and<br />
the United States. What made it worse was that McGregor’s Accusers were some<br />
of his fellow All Blacks. But has his name been unfairly besmirched? This book<br />
tells McGregor’s ex¬traordinary and previously untold story. In doing so, it delves<br />
deeply into an explosive and controversial period in New Zealand rugby history, the<br />
early 1900s, when ‘shamateurism’ was rife and the sport was split apart by the<br />
emergence of rugby league. Rugby Rebel shatters myths, offers new insights and<br />
provides enough information for the reader to decide whether McGregor was hero,<br />
or as his deractors claimed, villain.<br />
The Leisure Seeker:<br />
Read the Book That Inspired<br />
the Movie<br />
by Michael Zadoorian<br />
Now a major motion picture starring Helen Mirren and Donald Sutherland.<br />
Ella and John have shared a wonderful life for more than sixty years. Now they’re<br />
on the run from their doctors and middle-aged children, who just want them to go<br />
gently into that undignified night of old age. In their trusty camper van, the pair<br />
embark on a forbidden vacation of rediscovery along Route 66. Though time is<br />
catching up with them, Ella is determined that together they’ll make it to their final<br />
destination for one more carefree day together, even if it is their last.<br />
Unfiltered: No Shame, No Regrets, Just Me<br />
by Lily Collins<br />
International bestseller - In this groundbreaking debut essay collection,<br />
featuring never-before-seen photos, actress Lily Collins - star of Mortal<br />
Instruments and Rules Don’t Apply - is opening a poignant, honest<br />
conversation about the things young women struggle with: body image, selfconfidence,<br />
relationships, family, dating and so much more.<br />
For the first time ever, Lily shares her life and her own deepest secrets,<br />
proving that every single one of us experiences pain and heartbreak. We all<br />
understand what it’s like to live in the light and in the dark. For Lily, it’s about<br />
making it through to the other side, where you love what you see in the mirror<br />
and where you embrace yourself just as you are. She’s learned that all it takes<br />
is one person standing up and saying something for everyone else to realise<br />
they’re not alone. By turns hilarious and heartbreaking, Lily’s honest voice will<br />
inspire you to be who you are and say what you feel. It’s time to claim your<br />
voice! It’s time to live your life unfiltered.<br />

HISTORY: The heritage-listed Mitre Hotel on Norwich Quay was damaged in the<br />
September 2010 and February and June 2011 earthquakes. It has been fenced off<br />
since 2011.<br />

Quake-strengthening time<br />
frame could be shortened<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
THE HEAT is going on<br />
owners of earthquakeprone<br />
properties across<br />
Christchurch – including<br />
Canterbury’s oldest pub,<br />
Lyttelton’s Mitre Hotel.<br />
New provisions introduced<br />
into the Building<br />
Act (2004) last year require<br />
local authorities in areas<br />
of high seismic risk to<br />
identify earthquake-prone<br />
“priority buildings” in high<br />
traffic areas or on strategic<br />
transport routes.<br />
Such buildings will have<br />
to be strengthened twice<br />
as quickly as non-priority<br />
buildings, shortening the<br />
time frame from 15 years<br />
to 7.5 years.<br />
That’s because they<br />
could collapse during an<br />
earthquake and impede<br />
important routes.<br />
Consultation is due to<br />
take place over the next<br />
few months to determine<br />
which buildings fit the<br />
criteria.<br />
Norwich Quay is a key<br />
route for traffic accessing<br />
Lyttelton Port.<br />
A city council spokeswoman<br />
said no dates had<br />
been set but consultation<br />
would take place in the<br />
second half of this year.<br />
A sly grog shop called<br />
the Mitre opened on the<br />
Norwich Quay site in 1849<br />
but the current concrete<br />
building is the third incarnation<br />
after the first was<br />
destroyed by fire in 1875<br />
and the second in 1926.<br />
A letter and earthquakeprone<br />
building notice was<br />
sent to the owner of the<br />
Mitre Hotel in January and<br />
the spokeswoman confirmed<br />
other potentially affected<br />
building owners had<br />
been sent a similar letter<br />
about the consultation.<br />
The pub has been closed<br />
since the February 22,<br />
2011, earthquake.<br />
CERA installed safety<br />
barriers around the building<br />
in March 2012, which<br />
cannot be removed until<br />
the owner undertakes<br />
structural strengthening,<br />
which will require a building<br />
consent.<br />
No building consent has<br />
been lodged with the city<br />
council nor any application<br />
for heritage funding.<br />

Shellfish under threat<br />
•From page 1<br />
Ms Hampson measured<br />
the number and size of<br />
cockles in areas near the<br />
Mt Pleasant causeway, the<br />
Beachville Rd jetty and the<br />
Mt Pleasant Yacht Club.<br />
“I was really surprised,”<br />
she said, “I wasn’t expecting<br />
it to decline that much,<br />
I thought we might find<br />
a little bit less but not like<br />
this . . . a lot of them are<br />
really small because there’s<br />
not enough good nutrients.<br />
We had cockles eight or<br />
nine years old that were<br />
only 20-<strong>30</strong>mm which is<br />
smaller than they should be<br />
for their age.”<br />
Cockles can live for 20<br />
years but eight to nine years<br />
is typical as there is high<br />
juvenile mortality rate.<br />
Beds alongside the causeway<br />
and yacht club were<br />
heavily depleted.<br />
“The areas near the<br />
causeway are hard-hit by<br />
collecting so there’s not<br />
enough time for them<br />
to establish and the area<br />
closest to the Mt Pleasant<br />
Yacht Club was also low<br />
which might be due to<br />
disturbance and unhealthiness<br />
from cars driving near<br />
to the beach. We struggled<br />
to find more than 40 across<br />
that entire site – about 10m<br />
right beside the water line.”<br />
A survey of 100 estuary<br />
users found some were collecting<br />
in groups as large<br />
as nine; collectively they<br />
could take more than 1000<br />
cockles in one day and still<br />
be within the limit.<br />
Most people didn’t know<br />
what the limit was.<br />
“Some thought it was<br />
similar to Auckland, some<br />
thought it was a bucketful,<br />
some thought it was<br />
between 150 and 400.”<br />
Signs put up with catch<br />
limits “kept disappearing.”<br />
Ms Hampson attributes<br />
the decline to a combination<br />
of poor nutrients and<br />
pressure from collecting.<br />
“With the earthquakes,<br />
the silt was blocking the<br />
cockles’ gills and I think<br />
that affected their health; if<br />
they’re not as healthy they<br />
won’t be producing as many<br />
baby cockles. And then<br />
because people are taking<br />
so many, there’s not enough<br />
replacement in the system;<br />
they don’t have the chance<br />
to recover and grow.”<br />
“I think for people to<br />
still be able to collect there<br />
needs to be a lower limit,<br />
especially in the hardest hit<br />
areas. At this rate, in the<br />
channel they’re going to<br />
die. Eventually there will<br />
be so few the only ones that<br />
are big enough to reproduce<br />
will be taken.”<br />
The research was funded<br />
by Canterbury University<br />
and the Avon-Heathcote<br />
Estuary Ihutai Trust.<br />

Revised complex application lodged<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
CONSENT FOR a retail<br />
development in Church <strong>Bay</strong> is<br />
unlikely to be publicly notified.<br />
Spence Developments lodged<br />
a resource consent application<br />
last month to build a supermarket<br />
and car park, cafe, small cinema<br />
and four shops at 139-143<br />
Marine Drive.<br />
City council head of resource<br />
consents John Higgins said no<br />
decision had been reached as<br />
to how the application would<br />
be processed but “public notification<br />
would seem unlikely”<br />
because the site is zoned for<br />
commercial use. However, it was<br />
still possible limited notification<br />
would take place with affected<br />
properties in the area, he said.<br />
Church <strong>Bay</strong> Neighbourhood<br />
Association secretary Pat<br />
Pritchett said she didn’t see the<br />
need for public notification. “I<br />
think people feel they’ve had a<br />
say,” she said.<br />
An application was to be<br />
made late last year but consultation<br />
with city council staff and<br />
the Church <strong>Bay</strong> and Diamond<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> communities forced a<br />
rethink of the original plans.<br />
Residents’ concerns centred<br />
on the appearance of the buildings<br />
and the entry points to the<br />
car park.<br />
REVISED PLAN: A concept drawing showing the proposed<br />
new development. Cedar panels have been added to the<br />
exterior in response to community feedback about the<br />
building’s appearance. <br />
“CBNA appreciate that Spence<br />
Developments gave the community<br />
the opportunity for input.<br />
The changes to the appearance,<br />
landscape and layout for these<br />
facilities has gone a long way to<br />
achieving community expectations,”<br />
said Mrs Pritchett.<br />
The revised plans show the<br />
building now has cedar board<br />
panels along the western facade<br />
and metal louvres above the<br />
supermarket entrance.<br />
The south-eastern car park<br />
has been pushed back from the<br />
boundary by 5.5m, bollards<br />
proposed for restricting access<br />
outside opening hours and a<br />
revised landscape plan features<br />
a row of pohutukawa trees along<br />
with beech, lancewood and flax.<br />
And car parking spaces now<br />
number 103 – less than the 111<br />
originally proposed.<br />

FACT BOX:<br />
• Total land area: 8,311sqm<br />
• Gross floor area for the<br />
supermarket, shops and<br />
cafe/cinema: 1634sqm<br />
•1720sqm of landscaped<br />
lawns/gardens<br />

• Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> ‘On<br />

Richard Suggate said given the<br />
scale of the development and<br />
the amount of feedback it had<br />
generated, it “would be helpful”<br />
if it was publicly notified.<br />
The developers may put a<br />
self-service petrol station in the<br />
forecourt of the existing store at<br />
141 Marine Drive, but that isn’t<br />
part of the current consent.<br />

Development<br />
plans for Collet’s<br />
Corner site<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
PLANS FOR the site known as<br />
Collet’s Corner were shared with<br />
the Banks Peninsula Community<br />
Board on Monday.<br />
Landowner Camia Young is<br />
proposing to build a 2<strong>30</strong>0 sq m<br />
building at the former Empire Tavern<br />
site on the corner of Oxford and<br />
London Sts.<br />
Roman baths, a co-working<br />
space and cafe, cinema, bar and<br />
hotel accommodation are the likely<br />
uses for the space, following public<br />
consultation by Ohu Developments,<br />
Ms Young’s property development<br />
company.<br />
A three-month long design competition<br />
will be held for architects<br />
and architectural students to put<br />
forward their concepts, Ms Young<br />
said.<br />
It’s intended the building will be<br />
funded through a mixture of private<br />
investment and public equity<br />
secured through crowd-funding<br />
platforms like PledgeMe.<br />
The cost is likely to be between<br />
$5 million and $8 million with a<br />
planned 2020 opening. Ms Young<br />
bought the land in 2013 for $6<strong>30</strong>,000.<br />

Well-known Sumner<br />
WW2 veteran and<br />
volunteer dies aged 99<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
A WELL-KNOWN Sumner<br />
identity who was awarded<br />
an MBE for his service to the<br />
community and a Distinguished<br />
Service Cross for bravery in<br />
World War 2 has died.<br />
Alexander ‘Sandy’ Brunt dedicated<br />
most of his life to helping<br />
others, both as a pilot during<br />
WW2 and afterwards as a tireless<br />
volunteer.<br />
He died at Edith Cavell<br />
Lifecare aged 99 years and nine<br />
months, just 84 days short of his<br />
100th birthday.<br />
Mr Brunt served in the Fleet<br />
Air Arm, flying Fairey Albacore<br />
and Swordfish biplanes off British<br />
aircraft carriers from 1941-1945,<br />
rising to the rank of Lieutenant<br />
Commander in the Royal New<br />
Zealand Navy Volunteer Reserve<br />
Force.<br />
Among the squadrons he<br />
served in were the 826, 834 and<br />
the 706.<br />
The Distinguished Service<br />
Cross was awarded to him for<br />
“bravery and devotion to duty<br />
in air operations in the western<br />
desert.” He flew in the Pacific<br />
and in Egypt.<br />
One of his tasks was undertaking<br />
night missions to drop flares<br />
for bombers. Upon returning<br />
from the war, he joined the Sumner<br />
Cricket Club and went on to<br />
play until the age of 49.<br />
He had hoped to play until he<br />
was 50 but said that when you<br />
get to the stage where you “drop<br />
all your catches,<br />
get no wickets and<br />
don’t make any<br />
runs, it’s time to<br />
give it away.”<br />
In 1954 he married<br />
Rona and<br />
shortly after built<br />
a house on Kinsey<br />
Tce, where they<br />
lived until the<br />
February 22, 2011,<br />
earthquake.<br />
Mrs Brunt said<br />
he was a handyman<br />
who was<br />
“capable of doing<br />
anything.” They<br />
raised two children – a son Tony<br />
and daughter Jenny.<br />
An active member of the<br />
Sumner Lifeboat Institution<br />
for several years, he went on to<br />
establish the Sumner Lifeboat<br />
Replacement Fund and was a<br />
charter member of the Christchurch<br />
South Lions Club in 1966.<br />
Alexander ‘Sandy’<br />
Brunt<br />
For 13 years, he co-ordinated<br />
the volunteers who manned<br />
the police kiosk in Cathedral<br />
Square, and his work on the<br />
‘Speak Up’ campaign earned him<br />
an MBE .<br />
When he was 80, he began<br />
teaching bible class to five and<br />
six-year-olds at<br />
Redcliffs Primary<br />
School, and for the<br />
next five years he<br />
looked forward to<br />
going down to talk<br />
to the pupils once a<br />
week during term<br />
time.<br />
He was a man<br />
of courage and<br />
conviction, said<br />
Tony in a speech<br />
at his father’s 90th<br />
birthday.<br />
“Someone who set<br />
himself goals and<br />
worked diligently to<br />
reach them. But they have seldom<br />
been selfish goals. It’s fair to say<br />
that most of dad’s energies have<br />
gone to making other people’s<br />
lives better.”<br />
•A memorial service will be<br />
held at 2pm on Tuesday at<br />
St Andrews Church, Main Rd,<br />
Redcliffs.<br />
ACE: Alexander ‘Sandy’ Brunt training to be pilot in England in<br />
late 1940 or early 1941. The plane in the background is thought<br />
to be a Tiger Moth.<br />

“I will always appreciate<br />
the passion and commitment<br />
Christine showed in all of the<br />
excellent work she did and all<br />
that she achieved for Lyttelton,<br />
not only at the community<br />
board but in her many other<br />
roles over a long period of time.<br />
I have greatly enjoyed working<br />
with Christine and I know she<br />
will be much missed in our<br />
community,” Cr Turner<br />
said.<br />
Labour MP for Port Hills<br />
Ruth Dyson said Lyttelton had<br />
lost a “quiet but strong leader”<br />
who was extraordinarily well<br />
connected with the community<br />
and passionate about getting<br />
gaps filled.<br />
“I will miss her as a friend<br />
and a colleague and Lyttelton<br />
will mourn her passing,” Ms<br />
Dyson said.<br />
Ms Wilson resigned her<br />
position for health reasons in<br />
February.<br />
She had taken on the role<br />
of chair in 2016 after serving<br />
one previous term on the<br />
board.<br />
Ms Wilson died peacefully<br />
on Saturday and will be at 25<br />
Days Rd, Lyttelton, for those<br />
who would like to pay their<br />
respects.<br />
A celebration of her life will<br />
be held at the Lyttelton Recreation<br />
Grounds on Thursday,<br />
<strong>May</strong> 31.<br />
Everyone is welcome from<br />
11am, to be seated for the service<br />
commencing at noon.<br />
That will be followed by a private<br />
cremation for immediate<br />
family members.<br />

Mt Pleasant market<br />
to celebrate seven<br />
years with ‘long lunch’<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
THE MT Pleasant Farmers’<br />
Market is celebrating its seventh<br />
birthday with a ‘long lunch’ over<br />
Queen’s Birthday weekend.<br />
Mt Pleasant resident Tom<br />
Davies established the<br />
market shortly after<br />
the February 22, 2011,<br />
earthquake, and its<br />
popularity has continued<br />
to grow.<br />
“While locals tell us<br />
they enjoy shopping<br />
at the market to buy<br />
fresh, locally-grown<br />
food, the opportunity<br />
it provides each week<br />
for residents to ‘bump’<br />
into one another while<br />
buying artisan bread<br />
or a piece of handmade cheese is<br />
just as highly-valued,” said event<br />
organiser Derek McCullough.<br />
The lunch was an opportunity<br />
to acknowledge the market’s<br />
importance.<br />
“We want to establish this<br />
event as one way of the community<br />
demonstrating its ongoing<br />
support for the market.”<br />
Mr McCullough said in keeping<br />
with the tradition of long<br />
lunches celebrated by farmers’<br />
markets overseas, it will highlight<br />
the range of fresh produce<br />
available while raising funds for<br />
market improvements.<br />
A three-course<br />
menu will be created<br />
from ingredients<br />
which traders have<br />
donated.<br />
And a team of<br />
volunteers will help<br />
out in the kitchen,<br />
wait the tables and<br />
provide the music.<br />
The lunch will be<br />
served at the new<br />
Mt Pleasant Centre.<br />

on Queen’s Birthday Monday<br />

$50 each and include a<br />

ECan rethinks bus cuts<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
PUBLIC OUTCRY has caused<br />
a rethink over plans to cut bus<br />
routes around the city.<br />
But the 535 Eastgate to<br />
Lyttelton and Rapaki still<br />
remains on the chopping block.<br />
Environment Canterbury staff<br />
prepared an “alternative option”<br />
to the proposal in its draft Long<br />
Term Plan that would axe the<br />
six lowest performing bus routes<br />
following “overwhelming” public<br />
opposition, a spokeswoman<br />
said.<br />
Those routes included the 535<br />
and the 145 Westmorland to<br />
Eastgate.<br />
The solution is a modification<br />
of the six routes proposed to be<br />
disestablished – with frequency<br />
changes, the combining of two<br />
routes, extension and re-routing<br />
of others.<br />
But as part of the proposal,<br />
there would not be a service<br />
travelling down Linwood Ave,<br />
through Ferrymead and Mt<br />
Pleasant.<br />
The Rapaki section of the<br />
route will be serviced three<br />
times in the morning and three<br />
times in the evening by an<br />
extended version of the 28 Lyttelton<br />
bus.<br />
During a deliberation meeting<br />
CUTS: Environment Canterbury has found an alternative to<br />
cutting bus routes across the city, but a service travelling down<br />
Linwood Ave, through Ferrymead and Mt Pleasant is not in the<br />
plan.<br />
last week, councillor Cynthia<br />
Roberts said she wanted staff to<br />
re-look at dropping the 535.<br />
“I really would like staff to<br />
have a look again at the opportunity<br />
for the 535 that went<br />
through Ferrymead . . . there<br />
is quite a substantial group of<br />
people who are interested in this<br />
route,” she said.<br />
Councillors have asked for<br />
staff to further consider the best<br />
solution for the 535.<br />
ECan announced in February<br />
it was considering cutting<br />
the routes to plug a $4 million<br />
funding shortfall. The news<br />
prompted outrage.<br />
The plan would be funded by a<br />
2.5 per cent increase in fares annually<br />
for the next three years,<br />
starting in July.<br />
There were 781 submissions on<br />
the draft LTP, with the majority<br />
of those on public transport<br />
options.<br />
Mr Gibbon said if approved,<br />
the changes would come into<br />
effect in October. The decision<br />
now lies in the hands of councillors<br />
who will approve the final<br />
LTP in June. Bus patronage has<br />
not fully recovered following the<br />
February 22, 2011, earthquake.<br />
GOING AWAY THIS QUEEN’S BIRTHDAY WEEKEND?<br />
For those of you heading off for a break this long weekend please take<br />
the time to check real-time travel information before you head off and<br />
be prepared for increased traffic volumes.<br />
Drivers have two options for travel in the Upper<br />
South Island between Picton and Christchurch.<br />
• SH1 via Kaikōura is now open 24/7 but<br />
construction is ongoing (north and south)<br />
with delays and some single lanes.<br />
• The alternate Picton to Christchurch route<br />
via the Lewis Pass is open 24/7 (but check<br />
before travel as winter conditions may cause<br />
the Lewis Pass to be closed temporarily).<br />
Both routes will be busy so whichever one you<br />
choose the NZ Transport Agency advises you<br />
allow plenty of time for your trip, especially<br />
if you are catching a ferry or are on a tight<br />
schedule.<br />
The NZ Transport Agency encourages<br />
everyone heading off for a break to ‘know before<br />
you go’ and check the holiday hotspots map:<br />
www.nzta.govt.nz/hotspots. The map collates<br />
data from previous Queen’s Birthday Weekend<br />
journeys and advises on the best time to leave to<br />
avoid the rush.<br />
With the change in season it is also time to<br />
prepare for winter driving to stay safe:<br />
• Take the time to check your vehicle is in<br />
good condition – tyres/spare tyre, indicators,<br />
windshield wipers, lights<br />
• Be prepared by travelling with warm clothes,<br />
food, water and a fully charged cell phone<br />
• A flat battery is the most common cause<br />
of winter breakdowns. If it’s more than<br />
five years old it may struggle in the cold.<br />
Get it checked and replaced if necessary<br />
• Keep at least a quarter of a tank of fuel in<br />
case of any unexpected delays<br />
Drivers need to be patient, cautious and<br />
courteous. Take your time and be prepared<br />
for the unexpected.<br />
And remember, over holiday periods many<br />
drivers are on unfamiliar roads, so please<br />
be patient as we are all in this situation at<br />
some stage.<br />
HOW TO STAY UP TO DATE:<br />
• Plan your journey between Picton and<br />
Christchurch and get real-time information<br />
via www.nzta.govt.nz/p2c or call<br />
0800 4 HIGHWAYS (0800 44 44 49).<br />
We recommend checking at least two hours<br />
before you travel and while on your trip<br />
• Check the MetService weather forecast<br />
before you head away

removing the wheelchair ramp.<br />
City council staff last month<br />
outlined in a public excluded<br />
session which structures it recommended<br />
should go.<br />
But the board rejected the<br />
plan, saying it wanted to consult<br />
the Akaroa Fisherman’s<br />
Association, another wharf<br />
stakeholder, about the proposed<br />
changes.<br />
Deputy <strong>May</strong>or Andrew<br />
Turner told <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News<br />
the association wanted to see<br />
further changes before the<br />
proposal went back to the board<br />
on June 11.<br />
“It was good we got that<br />
feedback because we want to<br />
find a solution that’s workable<br />
for Black Cat and that meets<br />
the needs of the association or<br />
addresses their concerns in a<br />
meaningful way.”<br />
Association chairman John<br />
Wright said it had asked for<br />
changes before the proposal<br />
went before the board again.<br />
“The whole lot should be<br />
removed,” he said. “The bottom<br />
line is none of those structures<br />
on the wharf occupying public<br />
space have got consent. We can’t<br />
understand why the city council<br />
hasn’t just asked them to remove<br />
the whole lot.”<br />
Cr Turner said he didn’t yet<br />
know if the discussion on June<br />
11 would exclude the public.<br />
He would not say whether the<br />
city council would pay for any<br />
costs associated with removal.<br />
Bid for $100k<br />
to fix Cass <strong>Bay</strong><br />
playground<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
DAMAGED footpaths, missing<br />
steps and broken benches are<br />
putting people off using the Cass<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> playground, the committee<br />
tasked with its management<br />
believes.<br />
It wants the city council to<br />
update the playground facilities<br />
and equipment at the same time<br />
as the toilet block renewal, which<br />
has been signalled for 2019/20 in<br />
the draft Long Term Plan.<br />
Cass <strong>Bay</strong> Reserve Management<br />
Committee chairwoman Jenny<br />
Healey spoke at a submission<br />
hearing last week. She asked for<br />
$100,000 of development work on<br />
paths and seating to be brought<br />
forward to this year and for extra<br />
funding to upgrade the playground.<br />
It wants the work to take<br />
place at the same time as the toilet<br />
block renewal. “This will lead to<br />
a more cohesive, cost-effective<br />
result and be less disruptive to the<br />
community and people who use<br />
it,” Ms Healey told <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
News.<br />
An increasing number of people<br />
were also using the Corsair <strong>Bay</strong>-<br />
Cass <strong>Bay</strong> track, she said, with an<br />
estimated 60,000 people projected<br />
to walk it this year.<br />

Temporary drinking water chlorination<br />
Why can I taste and smell it?<br />
We’ve heard that some people are experiencing a higher<br />
level of taste and smell than others.<br />
Taste and smell varies across the city because of:<br />
• How close you live to the pump station<br />
• The condition of the water pipes<br />
This is because chlorine reacts with a variety of materials in the pipes, causing different levels of<br />
smell and taste. Over time we expect this to be less noticeable. Our contractors will be flushing<br />
pipes in areas that report significant problems.<br />
We are looking at how we can reduce the dose<br />
We are working with health authorities to explore how we can reduce the amount<br />
of chlorine in the water supply.<br />
We are testing chlorine levels daily from different points in the system and<br />
adjusting the dose where needed.<br />
Is chlorine safe?<br />
Health officials’ advice is that there are no known health impacts from drinking water effectively<br />
treated with chlorine. It is safe for pregnant women to drink.<br />
Health authorities advised us to temporarily treat the water and recommended we use chlorine.<br />
Chlorine has been used safely around the world for 120 years. It keeps millions of people all round the<br />
world – including most of New Zealand – safe from waterborne illness. More than 80 per cent of towns<br />
and cities in New Zealand have chlorinated water.<br />
For more information<br />
and to keep up-to-date<br />
ccc.govt.nz/water-chlorination<br />
or call us on<br />
941 8999 or 0800 800 169<br />
You can reduce the taste<br />
and smell by:<br />
• Filling an open jug of drinking water<br />
and keeping it in the fridge.<br />
• Leave lids off water containers to<br />
allow chlorine to evaporate.<br />
• Using a water filter. Options include<br />
jugs with filters for drinking water right<br />
through to whole house systems. Costs<br />
vary depending on what you choose.<br />
Filters are available to hardware<br />
supplies stores or water<br />
filter companies.

Can chlorine affect existing health conditions?<br />
Chlorine can be an irritant for an existing condition such as asthma<br />
or eczema. If you feel your skin getting dry or itchy, use moisturiser after<br />
having a shower or bath. If you notice increased skin irritation, asthma<br />
symptoms or other symptoms – seek medical advice from your GP.<br />
Caring for pets and fish<br />
Treated water is safe for household pets such as cats and dogs to drink.<br />
If you have fish in outside ponds you will need to either turn down in-coming water to an<br />
absolute trickle (this dilutes the chlorine level to a safe amount for your fish), or fill up drums of<br />
water and let them sit for at least 24 hours (the UV of the sun evaporates chlorine).<br />
For fish tanks or bowls inside, fill up a container and let it sit for at least 24 hours, then only replace<br />
1/3 of this water at a time with what is in the tank already. If you’re still worried, you can buy<br />
de-chlorinating kits (sodium thiosulfate) at pet supplies stores.<br />
Does chlorine cause cancer?<br />
The International Agency for Cancer Research (IARC) does<br />
not believe chlorinated water is either a probable, or even<br />
possible, cause of cancer.<br />
Christchurch<br />
water supply<br />
pump stations<br />
How long will we be chlorinating<br />
the water?<br />
Council has authorised the chlorination of<br />
the water supply for up to 12 months.<br />
Should longer be required, a further<br />
resolution of Council would be<br />
needed. The amount of work<br />
that needs to happen to<br />
remove chlorine is still<br />

Black Ferns drop into Sumner Rugby Club<br />
SPORTS<br />
SPECIAL VISITORS: A trio of Black Ferns visited Sumner with<br />
the World Cup trophy as part of club day at St Leonards Park.<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
BLACKS FERNS Kendra<br />
Cocksedge, Chelsea Alley and<br />
Aleisha Nelson turned out at<br />
Sumner on Saturday to help<br />
celebrate club day.<br />
The trio watched the two<br />
metro under-16 girls games<br />
being played at St Leonards Park<br />
and even refereed some junior<br />
games.<br />
“They were very accommodating.<br />
They had the World Cup<br />
there for the kids to get photos<br />
with . . . there was nothing but<br />
glowing reports,” said Sumner<br />
club captain John Taylor.<br />
In the headline game of the<br />
day, Sumner left it to the final<br />
5min of their match against<br />
High School Old Boys to win<br />
24-23. The win moved Sumner<br />
into second spot in the Hawkins<br />
Metro Premier Cup with just two<br />
rounds remaining.<br />
With 5min left on the clock.<br />
Sumner were trailing 17-23.<br />
However, the home side found<br />
themselves in striking distance<br />
of the HSOB line and captain<br />
Dylan Nel barged his way over to<br />
leave Tom Ziolo with a chance to<br />
give Sumner the lead.<br />
After missing from a position<br />
5m closer to the posts earlier in<br />
the game, Ziolo held his nerve to<br />
give Sumner the lead and they<br />
never relinquished it.<br />
Sumner’s division two side<br />
didn’t have as much luck<br />
going down 17-50 to HSOB.<br />
Meanwhile, the Sumner Sharks<br />
overcame the Christchurch<br />
Canardlys in their annual Friday<br />
night match under lights at<br />
Christchurch Park. They won<br />
13-5 courtesy of tries from<br />
Waterboy and Moose.<br />
<strong>Bay</strong>s seeking payback against Chatham Cup rivals<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
FOR FERRYMEAD <strong>Bay</strong>s, it<br />
doesn’t get much bigger than<br />
facing rivals Cashmere Technical<br />
in the Chatham Cup.<br />
After the disappointment of<br />
unsuccessfully defending their<br />
Mainland Premier League title,<br />
<strong>Bay</strong>s now have to put that behind<br />
them on Queen’s Birthday when<br />
they travel to Garrick Park.<br />
“The season hasn’t gone as<br />
we’d hoped . . . we want to be the<br />
best club in Christchurch so it<br />
would be nice to cut their party a<br />
little bit short,” said <strong>Bay</strong>s captain<br />
Richard Astley.<br />
If they’re to do that they will<br />
need a quick turnaround in<br />
form. <strong>Bay</strong>s were put to the sword<br />
1-5 the last time the two teams<br />
met in the MPL at Garrick Park<br />
earlier this month.<br />
“They really showed up. That’s<br />
as good as I’ve seen them play in<br />
a few years,” said Astley.<br />
“We’ve got a bit of payback<br />
to get. If you can’t get up for a<br />
game after a 1-5 loss then there’s<br />
something wrong.”<br />
Cashmere are two-time<br />
winners of the Chatham Cup –<br />
the country’s most prestigious<br />
knockout football competition.<br />
They won back-to-back titles in<br />
2013 and 2014. Running into the<br />
former champions early on isn’t<br />
new for <strong>Bay</strong>s.<br />
Astley is hoping Monday’s<br />
second round match, which<br />
starts at 2pm, will fan out better<br />
than one of his first encounters<br />
against Cashmere in the cup.<br />
“We met them in the second<br />
round and ended up losing in a<br />
penalty shootout. They ended up<br />
going on to win that year,” said<br />
Astley.<br />
<strong>Bay</strong>s will first play FC Twenty<br />
11 in their penultimate MPL<br />
match on Saturday. Astley says<br />
Monday’s match against their<br />
rivals is also pivotal in building<br />
momentum going into the newly<br />
re-established South Island<br />
league where they have title<br />
hopes.<br />

New Banks<br />
Peninsula<br />
Water Zone<br />
Committee<br />
member<br />
Garrick<br />
Thorn writes<br />
about a<br />
programme<br />
which helps young people<br />
preserve waterways – right<br />
in their own backyards<br />
AN EXCITING new educational<br />
programme has begun on the<br />
peninsula, providing schools<br />
and kids with the tools and the<br />
knowledge to understand our<br />
unique aquatic eco-system.<br />
At the Banks Peninsula Water<br />
Zone Committee meeting last<br />
month, Kirsty Brennan from<br />
EOS Ecology introduced their<br />
education programme, ‘Nature<br />
Agents.’<br />
This programme has been<br />
developed to give school students<br />
authentic scientific experiences<br />
in their local environment.<br />
The group provides schools<br />
with equipment, training, information<br />
and some support time<br />
to enable students to set up their<br />
own monitoring of waterways,<br />
measuring critical parameters<br />
to understand its ecology and<br />
health.<br />
So far the programme has been<br />
to three schools – Okains <strong>Bay</strong>,<br />
Duvauchelle and Akaroa – and<br />
student and staff feedback has<br />
been positive.<br />
These types of initiatives<br />
can have wide and diverse<br />
positive impacts on our water<br />
quality.<br />
By working with EOS Ecology<br />
we can help identify waterways<br />
that could most benefit from<br />
such a monitoring regime.<br />

Community Board<br />
chairwoman Pam<br />
Richardson.<br />
waterways can help us identify<br />
problems early or understand<br />
how projects and initiatives are<br />
having an impact.<br />
Education is such a great<br />
way of boosting our long term<br />
water prospects and is something<br />
the zone committee is very<br />
interested in promoting so it’s<br />
great we have this happening in<br />
our area.<br />
We have such enthusiastic<br />
water advocates on the peninsula<br />
and inspiring our younger<br />
generations will have even more<br />
positive impacts.<br />
As a new member of the committee<br />
I’m inspired to hear stories<br />
about how our communities<br />
are proactively getting involved<br />
in water projects and I’m excited<br />
to be part of it.<br />
Make a difference by<br />
scrapping plastic bags<br />
Local<br />
initiatives to<br />
reduce the<br />
amount of<br />
plastic in the<br />
environment<br />
are just the<br />
beginning,<br />
believes National List MP<br />
for Port Hills Nuk Korako<br />
IT IS a well-known fact that<br />
plastic is damaging our planet<br />
and our environment.<br />
Kiwis currently<br />
use around 1.6<br />
billion singleuse<br />
plastic bags<br />
every year and<br />
that is a staggering<br />
amount.<br />
The good news<br />
is that some great<br />
initiatives for<br />
recycling have been<br />
coming to the fore.<br />
Congratulations to Lyttelton<br />
SuperValue which is the<br />
first in the South Island to ban<br />
single use plastic carrier bags<br />
and the Countdown supermarket<br />
chain have chosen 10<br />
of their stores nationwide to go<br />
single use bag free by the end of<br />
June, with the Ferrymead store<br />
being one of these. (It ended<br />
single-use plastic bags on <strong>May</strong><br />
21.)<br />
The Warehouse is on to it as<br />
they will enforce that same rule<br />
by the end of <strong>2018</strong>.<br />
If we can all remember to take<br />
our own bags, bucket, box or<br />
whatever works for you, we will<br />
make a difference .<br />
The Packaging Forum has<br />
teamed up with major brands<br />
and sponsors around New<br />
Zealand with an initiative that<br />
is worth supporting.<br />
It is an exciting enterprise<br />
which we will all benefit<br />
from, as will our environment.<br />
It is amazing<br />
what this project<br />
will take – all<br />
soft plastic bags<br />
including bread<br />
bags, frozen<br />

Bagging up rubbish in the<br />
‘mother of all clean-ups’<br />
Ferrymead<br />
Anna: One Love, Two Stories<br />
by Amanda Prowse<br />
There was a big turnout for<br />
the ‘mother of all cleanups’<br />
but as Port Hills Labour<br />
MP Ruth Dyson writes, there<br />
are other things we can do<br />
to reduce pollution<br />
The day before Mother’s Day<br />
each year is an important one,<br />
as our area gives mother nature<br />
clean riverbanks and clean estuary<br />
surrounds. The “mother of all<br />
clean-ups” has been going for a<br />
few years now and this year had<br />
one of the best turnouts and, in<br />
some but sadly not all areas, had<br />
significantly less rubbish than<br />
previously.<br />
Over 600 volunteers worked<br />
around the estuary and Heathcote<br />
River and collected nearly<br />
400 bags of rubbish. Much of the<br />
rubbish was stuff that would have<br />
been pretty easy to put in a bin<br />
– takeaways bags and containers<br />
and there were a lot of empty bottles.<br />
But there were also tyres and<br />
mattresses and other big items.<br />
It’s hard to work out the thinking<br />
of someone who dumps a mattress<br />
on the side of the estuary.<br />
Well done to the volunteers<br />
who turned out to what was a<br />
glorious day weather-wise, to the<br />
groups who organised both the<br />
event and the volunteers and to<br />
Zac Cassels who, as always, was<br />
a magnificent host of the post<br />
clean-up celebration.<br />
ENTER TO<br />
WIN<br />
Two new novels from Amanda Prowse, that tell the story of<br />
one couple from both sides... This is Anna’s story.<br />
From the heartbreaking, uplifting and bestselling Amanda<br />
Prowse , this is an unforgettable romance about what happens<br />
when two very different people fall in love. There are two sides to<br />
every love story. This is Anna’s. Anna Cole grew up poor, but her mother’s love made<br />
her feel rich every day. Then her mother died, and Anna was sent to a care home. As<br />
a teenager, Anna vowed that one day, she would have children of her own, and create<br />
the happy, noisy family life she always craved. Then, one day, Anna meets Theo<br />
Montgomery in a lift. Theo has kind eyes, but a sad past. His family were rich, but<br />
his childhood was full of neglect. Theo can’t imagine bringing a child into this cruel<br />
world, but he does want a soulmate. Someone to love him unconditionally; someone<br />
with whom he can share his family’s wealth. Theo and Anna are two damaged souls,<br />
from two different worlds. Is their love for each other enough to let go of the pain of<br />
their pasts? Or will Anna and Theo break each others’ hearts?<br />

THE HISTORIC Allandale<br />
Community Hall near<br />
Teddington is back in the<br />
community’s hands.<br />
The 120-year-old hall was<br />
badly damaged in the Canterbury<br />
earthquakes and closed for<br />
safety reasons.<br />
However, a major repair effort<br />
over the past year has seen the<br />
earthquake damage fixed and<br />
some upgrades made to the hall.<br />
It now has a new kitchen,<br />
accessible toilets, new wiring,<br />
and doors that lead to a large<br />
deck on the north side of the<br />
building.<br />
The original floors in the hall<br />
have also been revarnished and<br />
the hall painted inside and out.<br />
The hall was officially reopened<br />
on Thursday by Deputy<br />
We said:<br />
Group concerned over<br />
safety of Moncks <strong>Bay</strong><br />
pathway.<br />
You said:<br />
Gary Knight – Surely the<br />

the final section of the unsealed<br />
Christchurch Coastal Pathway<br />
between Rapanui-Shag rock<br />
and eastern side of Monks <strong>Bay</strong><br />
<strong>May</strong>or Andrew Turner.<br />
“I know locals have greatly<br />
missed having the hall as a place<br />
to gather because before the<br />
earthquakes it really was a focal<br />
point for the community,’’ said<br />
Cr Turner.<br />
“I’m delighted that by<br />
working in partnership with<br />
the Allandale Reserve<br />
is the obvious catalyst for funding<br />
from the city council in the<br />
Long Term Plan. The<br />
potential for a serious<br />
or fatal fall onto the<br />
rock-clad estuary<br />
along this stretch of<br />
path makes funding<br />
vital. The awareness<br />
and community<br />
based focus of the<br />
Christchurch Coastal Pathway<br />
Group is evident and commendable<br />
by their decision to<br />

Refurbished<br />

Allandale Hall is<br />
ready once again<br />
for community<br />
use. <br />
Management Committee we<br />
have been able to not only<br />
repair the damage to the hall,<br />
but also make some really good<br />
improvements to it.”<br />
“The work that has been done<br />
means the hall can remain at<br />
the heart of this community for<br />
many years into the future,’’ Cr<br />
Turner said.<br />
fund seating, crossing points,<br />
planting and enhancement<br />
along the 0.8ha stretch<br />
of path. Within this<br />
context the projected<br />
$10 million to $12<br />
million cost would<br />
therefore be reduced.<br />
Funding should then<br />
be viable from the<br />
perspective of the city<br />
council for this essential work<br />
in the interests of community<br />
safety.<br />
Never Fade (The Darkest Minds, Book 2)<br />
by Alexandra Bracken<br />
Ruby never asked for the abilities that almost cost her her life. Now she must call<br />
upon them on a daily basis. Other kids in the Children’s League call Ruby ‘Leader’,<br />
but she knows what she really is - a monster. When Ruby is entrusted with an<br />
explosive secret, she must embark on her most dangerous mission yet - leaving the<br />
Children’s League behind. Crucial information about the disease that killed most of<br />
America’s children - and turned Ruby and the others who lived into feared and hated<br />
outcasts - has survived every attempt to destroy it. But the truth is only saved in one<br />
place - in the hands of Liam Stewart, the boy Ruby once believed was her future and<br />
who now wouldn’t recognize her.<br />
As Ruby sets out across a desperate, lawless country to find Liam, she is torn<br />
between old friends and the promise she made to serve the League. Ruby will do<br />
anything to protect the people she loves. But what if winning the war means losing<br />
herself.<br />
The second book in the NYT bestselling series, that is soon to become a major<br />
motion picture.<br />
Clown Doctors New Zealand provide medical clowning programmes to health<br />
care facilities and share with children and elderly the many healing benefits of<br />
laughter. Clown Doctors use humour for a therapeutic purpose, according to<br />
individual needs - making hospitals a little less scary for children and alleviating<br />
boredom and creating spontaneity in the lives of the elderly.<br />
