Don’t light our night sky – residents
• By Sarla Donovan
“BLINDED BY the light” sang
Manfred Mann in 1976.
Birdlings Flat residents seem
to be singing from the same song
sheet.
At a community meeting
attended by 29 locals, all but one
person voted for less lighting in
the community.
One of them, Rima Herber,
told Bay Harbour News it is an
issue people in the area feel very
strongly about.
“Locals here love the dark
nights and the starry skies and
feel that their experience of
these aspects of wild nature is
seriously compromised by the
current levels of street lighting,”
Ms Herber said.
She said the majority of people
canvassed preferred no street
lights at all.
They are concerned the
existing street lights are too
bright and “intrusive” in terms
of observing the night sky,
especially the aurora, she said.

WOMEN HAVE joined the
Ferrymead Lions for the first
time since the group was formed
41 years ago.
Rosemary Lory, Ann Newsom,
Jenny Godden and Ann
Finnemore recently became the
first female members of the club
at the recent annual induction
of new members and officers,
known as ‘the change over meeting.’
Vice-president Bernie Godden
said it added an extra special
note to the annual event, held at
the ‘Lions Den’ (aka the club’s
meeting rooms in Ferrymead.)
He said the change had been
driven by current president Bill
Newsom (Ann’s husband) “who
decided it was about time we did
it.”
Mrs Godden, who is Bernie’s
wife, said the club had made her
feel extremely welcome.

THAT WAS one sweet equaliser for
Ferrymead Bays (see page 23) against
longtime rivals Cashmere Technical on
Saturday.
Midfielder Chris Murphy nailed the
critical goal in the 93rd minute.
It means Bays are two points behind Tech, Dunedin Technical,
Nomads United and Coastal Spirit - still a good spot to be in
the Southern league.
Murphy told sports reporter Gordon Findlater: “I managed to
turn a defender and got a little toe poke on it. I won’t glorify it
too much, I’ve definitely scored some better goals in my time.”
Meanwhile not such good news on the rugby front for Sumner
(see page 20). Sumner went down to Sydenham and with it goes
their semi-final hopes in the Hawkins trophy.

Slower speed for Richmond Hill
• By Sarla Donovan
RICHMOND HILL will have a
restricted speed zone of 40km/h
imposed from October as the
city council attempts to address
safety issues in the area.
The 100 section-plus Greenwood
Farm subdivision has
generated additional traffic on
the hill suburb’s narrow roads
and increased community concern
over driver and pedestrian
safety.
The restricted
area starts at
the bottom of
Richmond Hill
Rd where it
meets Nayland
St and stretches
Sara
Templeton
up to the summit.
Nayland St
is not included. However, a trial
30km/h speed limit there and
on Wakefield Ave is expected
later this year.
Public consultation showed
majority support for the measure,
although a number of the
68 submission criticised the lack
of footpaths in the area.
“It is very irresponsible for the
city council to allow a new subdivision
with hundreds of more
vehicle movements per day and
not upgrade the road and footpath,”
said one submitter.
“I would think this would
actually be illegal. When we
drive up and down the road, we
daily see young school children
in dark uniforms having to
walk on the unlit road. It is just
a matter of time before one of
these children will be killed by
a car.”
City council manager planning
delivery and transport
Lynette Ellis said due to the
physical constraints, particularly
land stability, it was unlikely

any physical widening will be
initiated.
“Any upgrade will be in the
form of repair and resurfacing
to the current road surface and
footpath.”
She said at the time the consent
was granted in 2006, the
developer was not required to
pay development contributions
towards associated transport
activity.
Heathcote Ward city councillor
Sara Templeton has asked
city council staff to “investigate
the pedestrian safety concerns
on Richmond Hill Rd outlined
in the submissions and report to
the (Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community) Board with
potential solutions by the end of
2018.”
She said the lack of footpaths
in the hill suburbs had been a
concern for some time, “especially
for children getting to and
from school.”
It will cost about $5000 to
install the new 40km/h speed
signage on Richmond Hill.

Pop-up gallery for Lyttelton Museum

SIGNAGE FOR place names on
all Banks Peninsula walks and
reserves should be in both Maori
and English, a group developing
the Head-to-Head Walkway
says.
The group has
asked the Banks
Peninsula Community
Board to
recommend the city
council institute the
change and also
consider extending
bi-lingual signage to all parks
and reserves in Christchurch.
Head-to-Head Walkway
working group chairman
Jed O’Donoghue said Banks
Peninsula was of particular importance
because of the specific
cultural values that existed in
particular areas.
“Each place has its own level
of cultural significance and a
lot of that is built into the place
names. It means a lot to the local
runanga and iwi and I think it
(is positive) for our whole society
Jed O’Donoghue
A TEMPORARY pop-up art
gallery will be installed on
the vacant site of the planned
Lyttelton Museum on London St.
A partnership between the
museum and Te Hapu o Ngati
Wheke - called WHAKA Project
2 - will enable 25 contemporary
artists with connections to Banks
Peninsula and Lyttelton Harbour
to “produce works in response to
local taonga from the museum’s
collection in four, month-long
exhibitions,” a city council report
into the project said.
It has been granted funding of
$37,140 from the city council’s
enliven places projects fund (formerly
called the transitional city
projects fund.)
The fund was established in
2012 to support projects in vacant
city spaces and has a budget
for the 2017-18 financial year of
$150,000.
The money will be use to
fund “site activation, public
programme delivery, exhibition
delivery, artists’ fees, equipment
and staff time, digital technology,
Eftpos capability, exhibition
materials, opening costs and
deinstallation,” as well as support
community engagement with
the museum collection and local
contemporary artists.
An amount of $14,800 had
been previously granted to the
same entity to run WHAKA
Project 1, which began on the
site last week and will continue
into July. That money was used
to commission art from four
Ngai Tahu artists “on themes of
mahinga kai (food and natural
history) and manaakitanga
Bi-lingual signage for Banks Peninsula walkways
to get used to place names in
both languages.”
Community boards were
recently given Maori names
by the city council to reflect
an increased awareness of the
language and culture.
A city council spokeswoman
said the Ngāi Tahu relationship
team created the names “that reflects
the wants of the rūnanga,
(hospitality) to acknowledge the
pre-colonial history of the area
and welcome people back to the
site.”
WHAKA Project 1 will also
include a “series of hakari
(feasts) serving traditional local
Maori kai to the community on
the site accompanied by video
projections and storytelling
evenings to engage the
community with the mauri (life
force) of the place.”
The second project plans to
“expand on Project 1’s activation
of the site” and will comprise
a series of free, public talks
and workshops on site during
August, and a pop-up gallery
from August to December.
The city council innovation
and sustainable development
committee granted the money
last week.
and the desire to keep a Māori
worldview towards naming each

Rākaihāutu. Rākaihāutu was

Waitaha, an older South Island
tribe, and explored the South
Island’s mountains.
FUNKY: An artist’s impression of WHAKA Project 2’s pop-up art

The rest of the boards’ new

Black Klansman - Race, Hate, and the
Undercover investigation of Lifetime
By ron Stallworth
SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE
When Ron Stallworth, the first black detective in the history of the Colorado Springs Police
Department, comes across a classified ad in the local paper asking for all those interested
in joining the Ku Klux Klan to contact a P.O. box, Detective Stallworth does his job and
responds with interest, using his real name while posing as a white man. He figures he’ll
receive a few brochures in the mail, and learn more about a growing terrorist threat in his
community.
A few weeks later the office phone rings, and the caller asks Ron a question he thought he’d
never have to answer, Would you like to join our cause? This is 1978, and the KKK is on
the rise in the United States. Its Grand Wizard, David Duke, has made a name for himself,
appearing on talk shows, and major magazine interviews preaching a kinder Klan that
wants nothing more than to preserve a heritage, and to restore a nation to its former glory.
Ron answers the caller’s question that night with a yes, launching what is surely one of the
most audacious, and incredible undercover investigations in history. During the monthslong
investigation, Stallworth sabotages cross burnings, exposes white supremacists in the
military, and even befriends David Duke himself. Black Klansman is an amazing true story,
a searing portrait of a divided America and the extraordinary heroes who dare to fight back.

Bodacious: The Shepherd cat
By Suzanna Crampton
BODACIOUS: THE SHEPHERD CAT is a heart-warming and charming tale in which Bodacious tells
us about life as The Shepherd Cat on Black Sheep Farm. ‘I am Bodacious, The Shepherd Cat , and
this is my life story. I wasn’t always called Bodacious. I must have been called something else in
my kitten-hood in the nearby city of Kilkenny, but it’s all a bit of a mystery to My Human. As far as
she’s concerned, I appeared one day and have never left. It’s a secret I plan to keep.’ Written from
the perspective of Bodacious the cat, this is a beautifully written memoir of Bodacious’s life on the
farm and everything that entails — early mornings, frosty starts, beautiful sunrises, adventurous
rare-breed Zwartbles sheep, hard work, entertaining animals, mouth-watering food, kind people and
idyllic country living with its highs and lows. The Shepherd often tells Bodacious her favourite story
of how she went out to buy red ribbon to wrap a gift for her friend, but instead came home with a gift
for herself: a daring, assertive, ambitious cat looking for a home. But soon The Shepherd realises
she needs Bodacious as much as he needs her. As soon as he arrives, Bodacious saunters around
the farm like he owns the place and immediately establishes himself as Top Cat. But Bodacious isn’t
content to pad round the house and curl up by the Aga, and soon he befriends a farm cat called Oscar
who trains him in the ways of the farm. As well as Oscar, Bodacious gets to know all the other animals
on the farm — cats Miss Marley and Ovenmitt, the scruffy border collie/fox terrier-cross called Pepper,
and The Big Fellow, to name a few. With wonderful characterisation, humour, sharp observation, and
a plucky attitude, Bodacious shows us the ropes of Black Sheep Farm. As we soak in the atmosphere
of the house, the orchards and the fields, we also learn how this Top Cat Shepherd got his name – by
being ‘Big, bold, beautiful, bolshie’, as his Shepherd always says…

A Little Bit of This, A Little Bit of That
By Jayshri Ganda
Finalist in the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards
We’ve all been there. Mum cooks a family classic and it’s delicimo. You try to
emulate it at home and fail miserably. What does she put in it? What was that
secret ingredient? Not wanting the family secrets to be lost for future generations,
Christchurch woman Jayshri Ganda and her mum Laxmi Ganda created an Indian
cookbook. And it’s like no other you have seen, anywhere.
Many Indians left their home villages in search of a better future. They found their
home in a place known as the Land of the Long White Cloud: New Zealand. With
their knowledge of spices, they brought their Indian flavours, colours and traditions.
The next generation and even their kiwi friends and families ask how to make a
great curry - and the familiar respons is “a little bit of this and a little bit of that”.
Jayshri and her mother Laxmi explore these dishes and hope to have found an
answer they they can share with all New Zealanders.

And with the city council looking to replace
90 per cent of its streetlight network
with brighter blue/white LED lights within
the next three years, residents are worried
the situation will worsen.
The current lights in Birdlings Flat were
installed in 2004, according to city council
records.
Ms Herber has written to the Banks
Peninsula Community Board outlining
the community’s concerns and asking it to
investigate dark-sky lighting similar to that
used in Tekapo.
City council manager planning and
delivery transport Lynette Ellis said the
lights in Birdlings Flat would be replaced
as part of the city council’s LED conversion
project. “However, due to the special
nature of the area, we would be happy to
look at options,” she said.
Once the city-wide conversion project
was completed, it would deliver a 69 per
said the move was “long overdue” and was
one of the most significant events in the
history of the club. The Lions organisation
was founded in 1917, with an exclusively
male membership. As the movement
grew, women – particularly Lion spouses
– embraced the Lions’ mission of service
and began forming auxiliary clubs,
formally recognised in 1975 as the Lioness
Programme.
The programme continued to grow until
1987 when the international Lions Club
constitution was amended to admit both
men and women.
Mr Godden said most Lions clubs
in Christchurch already had women
members.

and reduce carbon emissions by 1500
tonne and operational expenditure by $1.6
million per year, said Ms Ellis.
There are plans to install a control system
that will allow lights to be dimmed in
the early hours of the morning.
Ms Ellis said the city council had
considered research on the effects of LED
lighting.
“There is no reason to suggest that well
designed LED road lighting using colour
temperature of 4000K or less, has any
impact on human health,” she said.
Around 18 per cent of the current street
light network is LED.

Demolition work about to
start as Redcliffs School
site swap begins
Craig Minehan - Like many
others, I am bemused, astounded
and angry that the Redcliffs
School principal and the board
of trustees failed to stand up to
the bullying Ministry of Education
when they decreed that
Redcliffs School could only survive
if it were relocated to what
was once a rubbish dump, with
ongoing flooding issues, possible
tsunami risk, and arguably not
what the majority of locals want!
It is very clear to anyone with
half a brain that the existing site
is absolutely the best place for the
school. It’s safe, solid (non-toxic)
ground, well above sea level, fairly
well sheltered from the wind,
with no danger from rockfall.
The board and principal have
stated that “we had no choice,”
and that it was “the quickest
way to get the children back to a
school in Redcliffs.”
Well, they did have a choice,
but they chose to give in rather
than continue the good fight
they began, and if they think it
will be the fastest option, once
the gravy-train of consultants,
geo-tech engineers, etc start
poking around in the boggy
minefield that is Redcliffs Park
. . . it may well take an awful lot
longer than they think.
Redcliffs School board of
trustees chairman Darren
Fidler responds
For the benefit of those who
are taking the time to write in
to the paper now, I hope they
do not forget the thousands of
voluntary hours that went in
to avoiding the closure of our
school.
These hours were given willingly
on top of full time jobs

commitments that our community
have. We were fortunate
enough to have dozens of experts
helping us across a broad range
of disciplines from geotechnical
to political, from legal to media
and many others besides.
The vast majority of this help
was voluntary, and if we didn’t
know what we needed to, we
researched it so that we could
have an informed opinion. Much
of the work we undertook is
fully documented in the three
submissions we made to the

questions
why consents are being
denied or delayed to
Redcliffs sites in the
Higher Flood Hazard
Management Area
Many folk will remember
British MP Austin Mitchell’s
portrayal of New Zealand as
being the ‘half gallon quarter
acre paradise.’ In essence what
he meant was that NZ is a
wonderful place to live where a
person’s home is their castle.
Redcliffs residents are
discovering that the investment
in their home and castle could
be undermined by city council
planning policy. The city council
selected 1m sea level rise,
mapped the coverage area and
is restricting building in these
areas - Higher Flood Hazard
Management Areas. There are
1486 Redcliffs and Southshore
properties zoned into the
HFHMA. Residents wishing
to build on vacant sections or
extend their home will now
likely face great difficulty.
There are some sad stories
circulating. People have in good
faith spent many thousands
of dollars on architect’s fees,
then meet with city planners
in pre-application meeting for
which they have been charged
exorbitant fees only to have
impediments put in their way or
worse, declined a consent.
City council planning policy
is coming at a high financial and
emotional cost to ratepayers.
Where residents are managing
to obtain a consent, the city
council then issues them with
what is called a ‘Section 72
notice.’ The dilemma with the
‘Section 72 notice’ is that the city
council will place a warning on
the owner’s legal title.
Before they do this they will
ask the owner to acknowledge in
writing the implications of the
warning. This means the owner
takes the risk thereby reducing
the liability for the city council.
Matters get further
complicated because ‘hazard
notices can affect your ability to
obtain insurances and to on-sell
your property in the future.’
This is where the plot thickens.
The independent hearings panel
developed an overlay enabling
building to be a discretionary
activity in the HFHMA rather
than a non-compliant activity.
The problem appears to be a
drafting error between the draft
supplied to the hearings panel
and the final draft supplied by
the city council. An essential
clause was excluded that would
allow the overlay to be applied
correctly as intended by the
panel. The $64,000 question is
why have the panel’s directions
not been followed?
The city council from my
perspective are red-zoning
Redcliffs residents by stealth.
Only after Christchurch Coastal
Residents United approached the
city council with the issue did
the city council start discussing
the issue.
Recently we have met with and
sought the support of our local
MPs to help resolve this concern.
It is time for the city council to
do the right thing by Redcliffs
residents and to correct this
major error.

Changes
to London
St parking
mooted
THE PARKING layout on west
London St is being reviewed
following the rebuild and
relocation of Lyttelton fire
station and the ambulance
station.
The section between Dublin
St and Canterbury St currently
has a variety of on street
parking restrictions, parking
signage, and line markings.
Demand for parking is high at
times, including on Saturdays
during the Lyttelton Farmers
market.
Yellow cross hatching will be
painted on the road to ensure
entrances to St John and the fire
station are kept clear.
There is also a proposal to
paint no-stopping lines outside
Albion Square to allow access
for maintenance vehicles.
A five minute parking
restriction outside the ATM and
60-min parking from Spooky
Boogie cafe and the old fire
station site to Canterbury St is
also being proposed.
Consultation on the plan
closed on Monday.

ANOTHER STEP towards
tighter restrictions on freedom
camping is expected today.
Community concern about the
number of freedom campers in
Akaroa and other parts of Banks
Peninsula has prompted the city
council to look at amending the
Freedom Camping Bylaw 2015.
The city council regulatory
performance committee is meeting
today to consider a report
that recommends amending the
bylaw to prohibit freedom camping
in all but one part of Akaroa.
The freedom camping area on
Rue Brittan would continue, allowing
self-contained vehicles for
up two nights.
A “one vehicle per marked
space” addition to the bylaw
would help address overcrowding.
“A prohibition across Akaroa
will enable simple and clear messaging
about freedom camping,’’
the city council staff report said.
If the report recommendations
are adopted today, consultation
will be held to gather public
feedback on the proposed bylaw
change.
A hearings panel would then
make a final recommendation to
the city council on whether the
bylaw should be amended.
Any changes would be in place
for the start of this summer’s
freedom camping season.
Akaroa residents have expressed
concerns about some
freedom campers’ behaviour,
such as toileting in public places
and dumping rubbish.
A community survey showed
63 per cent support for tighter restrictions
on overnight freedom
camping in Akaroa.
Seventy-seven per cent of survey
respondents were opposed to
freedom camping in residential
areas and 65 per cent were opposed
to freedom camping along

Fire rages, homes at risk
• By Sarla Donovan
THREE FINALISTS have been
chosen in a design contest for the
Collett’s Corner site in Lyttelton.
There were 31 entries for the
competition, which was run by
site owner Ohu Developments.
The design brief was for a
building which would house
public baths, a hotel, retail spaces
and a cinema.
Ohu Developments founding
partner Camia Young said she
was “over the moon” with the
three finalists.
The finalists were chosen by a
panel made up of Ms Young, an
architect; New Zealand Institute
of Architects chairman Tony
van Raat and Deputy Mayor
Andrew Turner. A public vote
on the designs also informed the
judges’ decision and was given a
25 percent weighting.
“Essentially it was a fourperson
vote and the public was
one of them,” said Ms Young.
The chosen designs are
‘Chance Encounters’ by Auckland
studio AHHA; ‘The Hive’
by Christchurch group In-Flux
and ‘We Dine Together’ by
Auckland collective Oto Group.
A rooftop garden features
in two designs while another
proposes a rooftop urban farm.
Laneways, bridges and courtyards
also feature.
The finalists now have eight
SPACES:

three finalists

weeks to further develop their
concepts before presenting their
designs in September.
Ms Young said it was an extremely
difficult decision.
“I would say there were nine
that could have gone on to stage
two. There were some really
strong designs, there wasn’t one
that just floated to the top.”
She said each of the chosen
teams was relatively young,
“which was interesting because
they were competing against
some extremely established companies;
the young teams tended
to have more innovative ideas by
way of the concepts themselves,”
said Ms Young. The winner will
be announced on September 14.
Bar cafe on

Dark Star Ale House and
Cafe, on Waipapa Ave, has been
put on the market as owners
Martin and Donna Richardson
concentrate on developing their
growing
brewery
business.
Since
purchasing
what was then
the Rough
Diamond in
2016, the cafe
and pub has
developed
a loyal
following amongst locals and
the Dark Star ales have been an
important part of that.
The couple have decades of
experience both in hospitality
management and brewing.
Mr Richardson, who is from
the United Kingdom, has been a
brewer for 30 years so a cafe and
‘We’re just coming
to an age now where
we want quality of life
with the family as well
as running a business’
– Donna Richardson
brew pub seemed the perfect
mix.
Mrs Richardson said they had
“loved the experience,” but the
decision to sell was a lifestyle
choice and would let them
concentrate on the brewery and
their family commitments.
“Our children are still only
13 and 15 and during winter
it’s a lot more
hands on . .
. we’re just
coming to
an age now
where we
want quality
of life with the
family as well
as running a
business.”
Dark Star
beers are currently brewed
through Eagle, Twisted Hop and
Raindogs breweries using Mr
Richardson’s recipes.
They now hope to develop a
brewing operation in Diamond

Auctions onsite
or inrooms?
This has been a great debate among
agents and property sellers for years.
There is no question that auctions are
a popular and successful way to sell a
property but which is better, to hold your
auction onsite as a stand-alone event or
to have it among other properties at an
independent auction venue away from
the property? Here at Prier Manson Real
Estate we support both situations but, in
truth, we love our onsite auctions. Over
the years we have literally conducted
hundreds of auctions in our core trading
suburbs of Sumner, Redcliffs, Mt Pleasant
and Lyttelton. Often they become a
community event and it is not surprising
to see the same faces in the crowd week
after week taking an interest in what’s
happening in their area or just enjoying
the spectacle. And it still surprises us
when something amazing happens at an
onsite auction. Last weekend was a good
example. At an onsite auction in Redcliffs
we had two buyers turn up out of the
blue who were literally passing by the
property and thought they would stop
for a look. Both ended up placing bids for
it with one being the eventual highest
bidder and new owner. Fortunately both
bidders were known to us and we were
happy to accept their bids but it still
shows what can happen when the flags
are flying and a crowd is watching on.
Inrooms auctions also throw up surprises,
particularly with our “as is, where is”
properties. We are often seeing the same
buyers turning up each week for our
“as is” auctions and it is not unusual for
one of these buyers to start bidding on
a property they haven’t actually viewed
when they see another buyer who may
be known to them also bidding on it.
Obviously we would never recommend
buyers to bid on a property that they have
never seen or had the chance to complete
Due Diligence or had legal advice on
however it is an interesting example that
shows how confidence by one bidder can
give confidence to another.
Have a chat to us today if you are keen to
find out more about bidding at auction or
if you are considering selling.

Blame game over large slip
• By Sarla Donovan
BANKS PENINSULA farmer
Giles Foley believes forestry
trucks and wet weather caused
a large slip along Gap Rd where
he’s lived and worked for the past
eight years.
In April, Robin Hood Bay
Forestry started a trial harvest
of 20ha from a 260ha block
which lies between remote Robin
Hood Bay and Peraki Bay, on the
peninsula’s southern edge.
But logging contractor PF
Olsen - which last year hit the
headlines after swathes of logs
and debris were washed down
from Waiake Forest, causing
$100,000 of damage to Louden
Farm in Teddington – doesn’t
think trucks are the problem and
neither does the city council.
Mr Foley estimates around
60 truck-and-trailer trips have
been made up Gap Rd since the
harvest began, each weighing 50
tonne. He said the combination
of wet weather and heavy vehicles
resulted in the slip on June 14.
However PF Olsen Canterbury
branch manager Marty Watson
said he believed it was wet
weather that caused the slip,
not trucks. He said the section
of road was quite narrow and
looked like it had been patched
up over the years since Gap Rd
was built.
LOGGING: A Banks Peninsula farmer says forestry trucks and
wet weather caused a large slip on Gap Rd. But a logging company
and the city council disagree.
“My pick is that’s been a
problem spot all along,” he said.
City council road maintenance
manager Mark Pinner also
rejected the idea logging trucks
were responsible, saying the city
council “did not believe the slip
was instigated by the increase in
heavy traffic but rather the wet
weather.”
Robin Hood Bay Forestry partowner
Ben Moir told the Bay
Harbour News he had concerns
about starting the trial harvest so
close to winter, but strengthening
and widening parts of Gap Rd
was a condition of their consent
and the work had taken longer
than expected.
“It’s unfortunate. I think it
should be harvested in summer,”
he said. However, there are still
6000 tonne of logs on the site to
be moved and Mr Moir said they
needed to get them out before the
condition of the logs deteriorated
and they became unsaleable.
That will mean about another
120 truck-and-trailer loads on
the road.
It comes as new national
environmental standards
for plantation forestry take
effect across the country. An
Environment Canterbury
working group looking at the
standards is warning of the
risks forestry poses to land and
waterways on erosion-prone
Banks Peninsula.
The standards came into effect
on May 1 and set out a consistent
set of regulations for forestry
owners across the country. It is
likely to mean tighter rules for
forestry operators.
Working group member
Virginia Loughnan told
the Banks Peninsula water
management zone joint
committee recently there had
been few resource consents
required of forestry operators
to date, and “very limited”
monitoring of forestry operations
on the peninsula.
“There continue to be visible
examples where forestry setbacks
from waterways, roads and
property boundaries have not
been complied with.”
Mr Foley believes better
guidelines are needed for forestry
operators in the future.

Funding to
help protect
diversity
EIGHT PRIVATE landowners
on Banks Peninsula will benefit
from thousands of dollars in
funding to protect biodiversity.
The city council-funded Biodiversity
Fund provides $200,000
a year to support ecological enhancement
work on private land.
Eight of the nine projects are
on Banks Peninsula and all
involve installing or extending
fencing to prevent stock from
accessing indigenous vegetation
and/or waterways. Funding for
the eight totals $171,671.

Dominic Prakash from van Asch
Deaf Education Centre help create a
partial replica of the signal station at
Godley Head which was manned by
sailors (above) during WW2.
‘Cool Man’ splashes out on
last day as acting principal
It was Tim ‘Cool Man’ Kearns’ last day as acting principal at
Our Lady Star of the Sea School on Friday. To celebrate, he
shouted all the pupils Mr Whippy ice cream, which proved
a massive hit with one and all. Mr Kearns has filled the
principal’s role since John Kane stepped down after four
years in December to become principal at Tai Tapu School.
Students start rebuilding
history at Godley Head
• By Sarla Donovan
AN introductory trades course at
the Ara Institute of Canterbury is
helping to reconstruct history at
Godley Head.
Assisted by the Godley Head
Heritage Trust and the Department
of Conservation, 15 students
are creating a partial replica
of the port-war signal station,
used to defend Lyttelton Harbour
during World War 2.
The project involves building
and painting a replica set of
wooden cubby boxes, originally
used by the New Zealand Navy to
house signal flags.
In WW2, navy sailors stationed
at Godley Head used flags and a
small Aldis searchlight to identify
ships coming into the harbour
as either friend or foe. If the boat
could not be recognised or failed
to identify itself correctly, they
would contact the army, which
could be mobilise troops within
12min.
When completed, the replica
signal boxes will contribute to a
heritage display at the regional
headquarters building in Godley
Head. The display depicts the
events that took place at Godley
Head during WW2.
For high school-aged students
from the construction and infrastructure
pathways programme
at Ara, the project gives them
hands-on construction experience.
The students come from
secondary schools across the
city, including Van Asch Deaf
Education Centre and Linwood
College.
Banks Peninsula
Water Zone Committee
Forestry on Banks Peninsula
Fiona (Grace) Nicol, Banks Peninsula
Water Zone Committee member
Forestry is a topical issue nationally
at the moment, with large rain events
potentially a high-risk event for wash
out of timber and exposed soil onto
neighbouring properties and into streams
and harbours.
With its finger on the pulse, the Banks Peninsula Zone
Committee (BPZC) has been working on this issue for the past
six months and has received presentations from community
and expert advice from both Environment Canterbury and
Christchurch City Council.
The main finding from the committee has been that up until
now there has been regionally different, and sometimes
minimal regulations, consents and compliance required for
forestry all over New Zealand. But that all this is changing now.
In May 2018 new National Forestry Standards were released
by central government. These new standards will be
streamlined into regional and local council rules and the
industry will be more regulated than it is now.
The BPZC is working with both Environment Canterbury
and Christchurch City Council as they integrate these new
national standards into local plans and rules. The committee
has recommended that councils consider the unique nature
of Banks Peninsula when determining how to implement the
new rules.
For example:
• Peninsula soils are prone to erosion and
there are a number of high-risk sediment
catchments on the Peninsula such as
Whakaraupo/Lyttelton Harbour.
• Banks Peninsula has many short steep
catchments, streams and areas of biodiversity with
important ecological and cultural values, many of
which are already mapped. It is important that the new
standards take these areas into consideration and these
areas are protected.
• The zone committee promote the compliance of the new
standards by councils and also encourage communities to
work in partnership to ensure that any breaches of the new
standards are reported and recorded.
The BPZC will work with councils to help communicate
information about the new forestry standards and what
it means for landowners and forestry operators on
Banks Peninsula.
It is early days but as more information becomes available
we will help get it out to the community. Please keep your
eye out in local papers over the coming months for more
information about these new forestry requirements.
The zone committee meet every month to discuss water
management issues on Banks Peninsula so come along to
one of our meetings and have your say.
The Banks Peninsula Water Zone Committee is a community-led committee
supported by Christchurch City Council and Environment Canterbury.

Back to the dance at Pigeon Bay
• By Sarla Donovan
THE PIGEON Bay Settlers Hall
is fairly unique among country
halls.
Built on the site of the Pigeon
Bay Inn back in 1921, its sprung
dance floor came from the old
Canterbury Society of Arts
building in Christchurch.
Dance halls with sprung hard
wood floors became common
in the early 20th century, their
spring provided through bending
woven wooden battens.
The flexible floor made it
more comfortable to dance on
and Pigeon Bay Hall went on to
host many memorable balls and
events.
The upcoming mid-winter
dance aims to bring back that
tradition.
Pigeon Bay residents Sandra
and David Innes have fond memories
of the annual balls.
Seventy-six-year-old farmer
Mr Innes is fourth generation
Pigeon Bay, born and bred.
He remembers the Reynish
family - a well-known farming
family in the bay - had enough
sons to provide an entire musical
group.
Known as the Reynish Brothers
Band, they played regularly
at the hall throughout the 1950s
and 1960s.
Two much anticipated annual
events were the Manchester
Unity Lodge Ball and the Plunket
Ball which continued through to
the 1970s, Mrs Innes recalls .
“In the earlier years they were
quite a social event. People came
from Akaroa and all around
the peninsula. In earlier years
they came (by horse and cart)
and later they put on a bus from
Akaroa to Pigeon Bay.”
“There would be 200 people
for a ball,” she said. “It was all
long dresses and black suits,
ball frocks and shawls on snowy
nights. They had big suppers,
plenty of booze flowing and
always a band.”
The hall has also been used as
a Plunket room and a library;
hosted weddings and other community
events.
But the time came when motor
vehicles became widespread and
people could drive to socialise
and eat out. It wasn’t so important
to have the local gatherings
in the bay.
And then the shop and the
school went.
“That made a huge difference
to the Pigeon Bay community;
many families moved away from
the area,” Mrs Innes says.
“it’s through the likes of (dance
organiser Fiona Grace) now who
are trying to get these community
functions back again.”
•The Pigeon Bay Hall
Mid-Winter Dance is on
Saturday, July 21, 6pmmidnight.
Tickets $15
•For the Pigeon Bay
Settlers Hall grand
opening on April 29, 1921
the SS Cygnet sailed
from Lyttelton with 120
passengers, arriving in
time for high tea.
•Residents came from
Akaroa and “every part of
the Peninsula in goodly
numbers.”
•Between 400-500
people attended.
•Arthus Goodwin was the
hall’s committee chair
assisted by J Reynish, H
Bloomquist, V Craw, H
Pettigrew, F Corrigal and
Allan Goodwin. He said in
his speech it was one of
the happiest moments of
his life.

Sumner’s semi-final
hopes washed away
• By Gordon Findlater
THEY MAY have started with
a hiss and a roar, but Sumner
were eventually put to the sword
by Sydenham on Saturday as
the wave’s semi-final hopes were
washed away in the 8-38 defeat.
It was hard to see the game
getting as far away as it did for
Sumner. They jumped out to
an early 8-0 lead at Sydenham
Park and looked to have taken
inspiration from their under-12
sharks team that defeated Sydenham
22-12 earlier in the day.
It took just 5min for winger
Filimoni Waqainabete to break
through a gap on halfway before
putting in Charles Oswald to
score in the left corner. The early
advantage was then extended
just minutes later through a
penalty.
This would be the last time
Sumner would spend a prolonged
period of time in the
Sydenham half.
The hosts stepped up a gear
and quickly found themselves
with a lead two tries to the good
and playing with a one man advantage
after Hayden O’Donnell
was sent to the bin.
“After the loss last week, it was
just about having a swing,” said
coach Martin Dodgson.
“We had a good chance in
their half up 8-0 and, if we score
there, then we put them under a
bit of pressure, but unfortunately
they came down the other end
and got a try.”
The second half was one-way
traffic for Sydenham who regularly
found their way through
Sumner’s defence.
With a semi-final now out
of reach, Sumner will be playing
for pride when they host
Christchurch at St Leonards
Park on Saturday.

Running club takes
13 podium finishes
• By Gordon Findlater
THE SUMNER Running
Club were represented by 42
athletes at the South Island
cross-country championships on
Saturday where they recorded 13
podium finishes.
Runners across junior and senior
grades assembled at the Ascot
golf course at QE II Park in unseasonably
warm conditions to
take on the cross-country course
with distances ranging from
2000m to 9000m.
The Sumner junior contingent
of 28 competed admirably,
taking home five medals. Silver
medals were won by Charlie
Bailey in the boys 13 grade, Lucy
Wheeler in the girls 10 grade
and Abigail Scott-Douglas in the
girls eight grade. Bronze medals
were won by Madeline Sharpe
in the girls 13 grade and Zara
Percasky in the girls eight and
under grade.
The highlight of the senior
racing was a one-two finish for
Sumner in the men’s 40 and over
event. David Fitch was the first
to finish the 9000m race in a
time of 31min 56sec. He was followed
by fellow Sumner runner
Nathan Jones who came home
second in a time of 33min 9sec.
There was also victory for
Graham Batchelor in the men’s
70 and over race. Batchelor completed
the 7000m race in 35min
21sec.
Sumner runners will now turn
their attention to the Canterbury
cross-country championships at
Halswell Quarry on July 21.

Injury time equalizer
nets Bays 1-1 draw
• By Gordon Findlater
A 93RD-MINUTE equaliser
from Chris Murphy saw
Ferrymead Bays hold rivals
Cashmere Technical to a
1-1 draw at Garrick Park on
Saturday.
The late goal was also
crucial to Bays’ chances in the
Southern League. The result
means Bays have two draws two
their name after two rounds
and are two points behind
Technical, Dunedin Technical,
Nomads United and Coastal
Spirit, all on four points.
Their equaliser against the
competition favourites came
SPORTS
from a flicked on header which
the central midfielder ran onto
before putting the ball in the
back of the net.
“I managed to turn a
defender and got a little toepoke
on it. I won’t glorify it too
much, I’ve definitely scored
some better goals in my time,”
said Murphy.
Technical’s opening goal
came in the first half after a shot
from Aaron Clapham hit the
post and sat up for striker Andy
Tuckey to head home.
“That was one of the only
chances they had,” said Bays’
captain Richard Astley.
“We felt we deserved the
point at the end. We really
fronted up and, if anything,
were maybe unlucky not to do
better to get three points.”
Bays will host Selwyn United
in a friendly on Saturday due to
a break in the competition over
the weekend for the Chatham
Cup.
Their next Southern League
match will see them travel
to Dunedin to play Dunedin
Technical on July 22.
EQUALIZER: Chris Murphy scored for Bays in the third-minute of stoppage time to save a draw

SUPER CHARGED: The Electric Avenue team from Redcliffs
School finished third in the EPro8 Challenge final last week.
L-R: Lewis Hollis-Locke, Ruby Love-Smith, Ted Elworthy and
Luca Rose.
Creative challenge
for Redcliffs pupils
A COMBINED year 5 and 6
Redcliffs School team faced off
against opponents from across
Canterbury in a contest of
creative problem solving and
engineering skills last week - the
EPro8 Challenge finals.
Challenges included building a
mini-Mars Rover with a working
gear box, or a 1.8m high crane capable
of lifting 1kg of weight and
building a booby trap that would
automatically fire a party popper
when a cookie jar is lifted up.
Team member Edward Elworthy
reported on the day’s events:
My team was called Electric
Avenue. We had to work on four
pin bowling, snail racing, rowing
machine and limbo bar.
This was the grand final so
the challenges were harder than
usual. One of the rules was that it
had to be fit for purpose. For example,
one of the challenges was
to build a bed and solar powered
alarm for Uncle Albert, so you
also had to build a bedside table.
SCHOOLS
My team came third-equal
with Geraldine Primary School,
alias GPS Magic. We tied with
270 points each, 10 points behind
the second-placed Tech Geeks
[Ashburton Borough School]
and winners Kaiapoi North Tech
Knights [Kaiapoi North School.]
It was an extremely stressful
time as the equipment had been
used by 11 teams before us so it
was a bit worn out.
Redcliffs School entered three
teams, including a year 5 team
called Amazonian Sloths, and
a year 6 team, Zombie Warfare,
which came fifth in the grand
final with 240 points.
The challenge was out of the
whole of Canterbury.
I’m very proud of this achievement.

Funny Kid - Prank Wars
by Matt Stanton
‘MY NEW ULTIMATE FAVOURITE BOOK!’
- Lachie, aged 11, on Funny Kid for President
Every kid wants to laugh, but Max is the boy who can make
it happen.
As he and his classmates head off on a camping trip, the new boy,
Tyson, decides to play some jokes of his own.
Max is the funny kid... and now there’s a prank war to be won!
Monsters in the lake, smuggling ducks, dig-your-own toilets, capsizing canoes,
absolutely not falling in love and beans that give you the runs are just some of the
things in store for Max and his friends in this brand-new adventure.
For fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Tom Gates, FUNNY KID is the
mega-bestseller from author-illustrator Matt Stanton.

His name fills the streets with fear… In the chilling new crime novel from awardwinning
author Liam McIlvanney, a serial killer stalks the streets of Glasgow and
DI McCormack follows a trail of secrets to uncover the truth…
A city torn apart. Glasgow, 1969. In the grip of the worst winter for years, the city
is brought to its knees by a killer whose name fills the streets with fear: the Quaker.
He takes his next victim – the third woman from the same nightclub – and dumps
her in the street like rubbish.
A detective with everything to prove. The police are left chasing a ghost, with no
new leads and no hope of catching their prey. DI McCormack, a talented young
detective from the Highlands, is ordered to join the investigation. But his arrival is
met with anger from a group of officers on the brink of despair. Soon he learns just
how difficult life can be for an outsider.
A killer who hunts in the shadows. When another woman is found murdered in a
tenement flat, it’s clear the case is by no means over. From ruined backstreets to
the dark heart of Glasgow, McCormack follows a trail of secrets that will change
the city – and his life – forever…

lounge. Sliding doors open out to the expansive
upstairs deck. 5-6 bedrooms on offer with 2
bathrooms and 3 toilets. This north-west facing

the Mt Pleasant and surrounding environment.

to enjoy stunning views of the Southern Alps
and the Kaikoura’s, the Estuary and the Pacific
