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 />

“Lyttelton has lost one of its<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 />

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 />

• Total land area: 8,311sqm<br />

• Gross floor area for the<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 />

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

negotiating with the city council<br />

about the disability ramp, which<br />

it said was installed as part of its<br />

building consent.<br />

said in early April that Black Cat<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 />

MUCKING<br />

IN: Ruth<br />

volunteers<br />

helping<br />

clean<br />

the city’s<br />

waterways. ​<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 />

safety aspect of continuation of<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 />

FIXED:<br />

Refurbished<br />

and repaired<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 />
