PAGE 2 Wednesday August 15 2018 BAY HARBOUR Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi get in touch from the editor’s desk THAT’S A tremendous idea to have a community garden to remember two Lyttelton men killed in the February 2011 quake (page 1). The land suggested was part owned by one of the victims, Owen Wright, and his wife Megan. The section was red-zoned and is now owned by the Government, so there will need to be discussions there. Let’s hope they play ball. Owen had ferried people up the Bridle Path in his Land Rover before setting off on foot for home. He was struck and killed by boulders. A fitting tribute today (see pages 4-5) to Baden Norris who passed away recently. Baden had an amazing life and was a pillar of the Lyttelton and later Sumner communities. - Barry Clarke GENERAL INQUIRIES Ph 379 7100 CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING Ph 379 1100 Star Media, a division of Allied Press Ltd PO box 1467, Christchurch starmedia.kiwi NEWS Sarla Donovan Ph: 021 919 917 sarla.donovan@starmedia.kiwi ADVERTISING Javier Balcazar Ph: 982 9308 javier.balcazar@ starmedia.kiwi Rob Davison Ph: 021 225 8584 rob.davison@ starmedia.kiwi news Sandra retires after 35 years of caring A special dinner marked Sandra Cody’s final day the Edith Cavell Lifecare rest home.

Wednesday August 15 2018 News Boat shed delays overcome • By Sarla Donovan COMPLEXITIES with putting piles into place have delayed a new boat shed planned for Moncks Bay. Construction on Christchurch Yacht Club’s boat shed and deck started in March with caissons – chambers used for underwater construction – for the seven roadside piles placed into the seabed. Once in place, the caissons were filled with concrete and a steel pile was embedded within. But technical issues with ground conditions has meant the last two were particularly difficult and created delays, said project manager and yacht club member Frank Coppens. Those difficulties had now been overcome, he said. The next step will be putting in the deck and seabed access ramps. “Rest assured, there is progress,” Mr Coppens said. The deck design includes a new 4m wide footpath along its full length, which will become part of the Christchurch Coastal Pathway. Prefabrication work has been happening off-site with half the steel for the deck frame currently stored in the club’s car park and the other half at the contractor’s yard. Mr Coppens said the deck would roughly follow the outline of the 14 piles and measure 40m by 13.5m. It will be constructed from South American Tonka hardwood planks. “We’ve purchased that and it’s waiting now at Mitre 10 so we’ve got all that ready as well. It’s just a question of having the frame to install it.” Weather conditions and access Nuk Korako National List MP based in the Port Hills Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi will determine when work could start on putting the decking frame in place, but the club hopes it will be before the end of next month. But first the concrete and landward piles need to be put in place and then the steel support beams could go in, said Mr Coppens. It’s anticipated the deck and access ramps would be finished by the end of the year, but REBUILD: An illustration of the new boat shed in Moncks Bay which will replace the former shed that was demolished in 2011. additional funding would need to be raised to place a boat shed on the deck. The cost to the finished deck stage is $1.174 million, which has come from the city council, Coastal Pathway Project and grants the club has received. The original boat shed was demolished in June, 2011, after suffering damage in the February 22, 2011, earthquake. BAY HARBOUR Local News Now In Brief PAGE 3 Fire rages, homes at risk LIBRARY HOURS INCREASE Extended weekend opening hours start at the Sumner Centre: Matuku Takotako on Saturday. The library will now be open from 10am-4pm, Saturday and Sunday. The move to increase weekend hours follows pressure from residents to enable seven-day access, especially for those who work and go to school outside the area during the week. The city council budgeted an additional $44,000 per annum in its Long Term Plan to pay for the extra services. FREE WI-FI PLAN The city council is investigating installing free wi-fi across the Akaroa and Lyttelton town centres after the idea was suggested by the Banks Peninsula Community Board. Free wi-fi is provided at all libraries in Christchurch, but board member Janis Haley said that created a lot of congestion around the Akaroa Library during the cruise ship season.
