Full steam ahead for tug Lyttelton<br />
• By Matt Salmons<br />
THE STEAM tug Lyttelton is<br />
gearing up to steam across the<br />
harbour again after three years<br />
laid up for repairs.<br />
Tug Lyttelton Preservation Society<br />
treasurer and head stoker <br />
Mike Bruce said volunteers had<br />
started stoking the boiler on<br />
Monday morning.<br />
It could take four days to build<br />
pressure without damaging the<br />
long-dormant and irreplaceable<br />
boiler. Mr Bruce said volunteers<br />
could be doing a late shift<br />
tonight for a pre-dawn start<br />
tomorrow.<br />
Once the right pressure was<br />
reached, the society would turn<br />
on the engines for the first time<br />
in three years.<br />
“I’m excited and terrified at<br />
the same time,” Mr Bruce said.<br />
The society was confident<br />
the tug could be accepting passengers<br />
again this sailing season.<br />
Each lost season meant a loss of<br />
income for the society.<br />
It was hoped tug Lyttelton<br />
would have been ready for<br />
the last sailing season. However,<br />
repairing and overhauling the<br />
boat to satisfy issues raised in its<br />
last marine survey three years<br />
ago took longer than expected.<br />
Tomorrow, a marine surveyor<br />
and marine architect would<br />
inspect the boat.<br />

residents<br />
reporting<br />
thefts from<br />
mailboxes<br />
• By Matt Salmons<br />
PARCELS, LETTERS and bills<br />
are being taken from mailboxes<br />
around Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />
Last week, Purau Ave resident<br />
Tara Meredith left her house to<br />
pick her daughter up and saw two<br />
letters in the mailbox, which she<br />
left to collect afterwards.<br />
When she returned around 30<br />
minutes later, they were gone and<br />
nobody else was home.<br />
“It’s quite disturbing.<br />
“It’s so blatant, our mailbox is in<br />
the open.”<br />
She said she had not received<br />
two parcels sent by a friend over<br />
the last month and believed they<br />
too had been stolen.<br />
Mrs Meredith said she reported<br />
the missing letters to New Zealand<br />
Post and had been told she<br />
was not alone.<br />
“There’s more than one complaint,<br />
there’s quite a few.”<br />
She also reported the theft to<br />
police, the only person to do so as<br />
of last week.<br />
A NZ Post spokeswoman said<br />
the company was aware of mail<br />
going missing and said any missing<br />
mail should be reported as<br />
soon as possible. •Turn to page 4<br />

THERE’S A win-win fundraising venture<br />
on page 5 today.<br />
Contribute to the Governors <strong>Bay</strong> jetty<br />
restoration and you will be able to drink<br />
good beer in return.<br />
A limited one-off brew from Two<br />
Thumbs Brewing Co will be released next month for the<br />
fundraising campaign. The company is owned by Governors<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> resident Mark Limber.<br />
The jetty will cost $3 million. The community has so far<br />
raised $200,000 of the $600,000 it needs to contribute to the<br />
project.<br />
A case of the fundraising beer costs $120 (12 bottles). So when<br />
you’re knocking one back this summer it will be going to the<br />
jetty fund.<br />
As Mark says: “Everybody wants a beer for Christmas, it may<br />
as well be for a good cause.”<br />

CCTV sites under consideration<br />
• By Matt Salmons<br />
WHILE THEIR installation<br />
is still subject to funding,<br />
sites for the proposed Sumner<br />
crime cameras are now being<br />
considered by the city council.<br />
Christchurch<br />
Transport<br />
Operations<br />
Centre team<br />
leader Ray<br />
Young said a<br />
decision was<br />
made to install<br />
Sally Buck<br />
the cameras<br />
“subject to<br />
funding”, after<br />
a September 11 site visit by city<br />
council staff and police.<br />
He said three locations were<br />
being considered – outside the<br />
Sumner Surf Lifesaving Club,<br />
the corner of Marriner St and<br />
the Esplanade and the corner of<br />
Marriner St and Burgess St.<br />
“CCTV cameras for this<br />
purpose are generally fixed<br />
in place due to the cost of<br />
setting up communication and<br />
power requirements,” Mr Young<br />
said.<br />
City council staff were investigating<br />
pricing options to provide<br />
to the Linwood-Central-<br />
Heathcote Community Board.<br />
“The board will make the<br />
final decision on how to proceed,”<br />
Mr Young said.<br />
Last month the <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
News reported that police would<br />
not be able to help fund the<br />
cameras, but a representative<br />
had visited potential sites with<br />
the city council.<br />
The residents had raised<br />
$4000 but needed a further<br />
$16,000.<br />
Because of the lack of police<br />
funding, the group of Sumner<br />
residents seeking the cameras<br />
were planning to approach the<br />
Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />
Community Board.<br />
Board chairwoman Sally Buck<br />
said she was looking forward to<br />
hearing their case.<br />
“Staff have told me they will<br />
Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi<br />
come to a board meeting in<br />
future when they have got the<br />
costs involved.<br />
“We will also be asking the<br />
police if this is the top priority<br />
for a crime camera.” She said<br />
there was a “considerable sum<br />
of money” left in the board’s<br />
discretionary fund that could be<br />
used if funding was approved.<br />
Fellow board member and<br />
Heathcote Ward councillor Sara<br />
Templeton said they would need<br />
to wait for a report and some<br />
“really good information from<br />
police” before deciding to financially<br />
back the cameras or not.<br />
“There are many areas in our<br />
community board area with<br />
issues with break-ins and crime.<br />
WATCH: The<br />
Sumner Surf<br />
Life Saving<br />
Club is being<br />
considered<br />
as a location<br />
for the<br />
proposed<br />
Sumner<br />
crime<br />
cameras. <br />
We need to ensure that what we<br />
are doing is going to give the best<br />
outcome for the community asking<br />
us,” Cr Templeton said.<br />
Police metro community<br />
services manager Senior<br />
Sergeant Stephan McDaniel<br />
said having more cameras was a<br />
good thing.<br />
“We’ll support them [Sumner<br />
camera advocates], but when it<br />
comes down to it, the council<br />
doesn’t have bottomless pockets<br />
so they can only do what they<br />
can do.<br />
“When you compare Sumner<br />
with other areas of the city, its<br />
crime rate is not substantial. But<br />
it’s about the community feeling<br />
safe.”<br />

Plants, car<br />
stolen in mini<br />
crime spree<br />
• By Matt Salmons<br />
CHEEKY THIEVES have taken off<br />
with two distinctive potted plants<br />
from a Sumner hair salon.<br />
Genz Hair Design owner Genna<br />
Holland said four potted plants<br />
were stolen from outside her Nayland<br />
St business last Monday. Two<br />
of which were topiary trees and<br />
more than 1m high.<br />
Ms Holland said was not too<br />
worried about the theft of her plants<br />
as there had been more upsetting<br />
crimes committed that same night.<br />
“Apparently there was a whole lot<br />
of stuff stolen out here that same<br />
night as well as graffiti and a car<br />
stolen,’’ she said.<br />
Police said a burglary was reported<br />
on Menzies St, and a car was stolen<br />
on Nayland St, however, there<br />
were no reports of wilful damage in<br />
the area on Monday night.<br />
A car was also broken into on<br />
Beachville Rd, Redcliffs.<br />
Police metro community services<br />
manager Senior Sergeant Stephan<br />
McDaniel said he could not comment<br />
whether the number of crimes<br />
reported was unusual.<br />
“It’s usually a low-crime area<br />
though,” he said.<br />
He said police were still<br />
investigating the stolen car.<br />

Thefts from<br />
mailboxes<br />
•From page 1<br />
They said there was no suggestion<br />
it had “anything to do with<br />
NZ Post” staff and the matter was<br />
being investigated.<br />
“We encourage people to report<br />
such cases to police, and we understand<br />
some of our customers<br />
have already been doing this.”<br />
The spokeswoman encouraged<br />
people to take steps to protect<br />
against theft, such as “installing a<br />
lock on their letterbox.”<br />
“If people are going away they<br />
should consider having their mail<br />
redirected, or setting up a hold on<br />
their mail.”<br />
Mrs Meredith said she did not<br />
know what more she could do to<br />
stop further thefts.<br />
“Unless I got a camera and constantly<br />
stared at my mailbox.”<br />
Ngatea Rd resident Charlotte<br />
Mccoy said a card for her daughter’s<br />
15th birthday was taken<br />
from their mailbox in July. It<br />
was opened and dumped after<br />
the thief took $20 that was in the<br />
card.<br />
“It’s a pretty rotten thing.<br />
“Thinking about it now we<br />
probably should have reported<br />
it, but we thought it was just a<br />
one-off.”<br />
Mrs Mccoy said letters could<br />
go missing without notice “unless<br />

Timeline to resolve District Plan issues<br />
• By Matt Salmons<br />
A RESOLUTION to the issues<br />
Redcliffs residents are facing<br />
with building or renovating<br />
could possibly be found in time<br />
for Christmas.<br />
Residents’ groups and<br />
community boards had sought<br />
to get an enabling clause added<br />
to the District<br />
Plan since<br />
2016. The lack<br />
of which would<br />
made it almost<br />
impossible for<br />
residents in<br />
Southshore<br />
and Redcliffs<br />
Darrell<br />
Latham<br />
to build or<br />
renovate<br />
on vacant<br />
property.<br />
Last week the city council<br />
approved that staff draft a<br />
proposal for Greater Christchurch<br />
Regeneration Minister Megan<br />
Woods to utilise her powers<br />
under section 71 of the Greater<br />
Christchurch Regeneration Act to<br />
add the clause.<br />
Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />
Community Board member<br />
Darrell Latham said he was<br />
“very pleased” with the outcome.<br />
“I would like to think this<br />
could happen before Christmas<br />
not after. However, we have to<br />
follow due process.”<br />
City council staff were requested<br />
to present the initial<br />
draft by <strong>October</strong> 23 “at the<br />
latest.”<br />
Following approval of that<br />
draft, staff would need to give<br />
strategic partners up to 30 days<br />
to provide feedback before<br />
gaining final approval for the<br />
proposal to go to Dr Woods for<br />
a final round of public consultation.<br />
Mayor Lianne Dalziel said Dr<br />
Woods would only be able to say<br />
yes or no to whatever proposal<br />
came before her.<br />
“We have to make sure that<br />
the wording that goes in front<br />
of the minister is the wording<br />
that will solve the problem,” Ms<br />
Dalziel said.<br />
There was no time frame on<br />
how long Dr Woods would<br />
consult on the proposal, but in<br />
past instances, it had taken up to<br />
four weeks.<br />
However, Ms Dalziel stressed<br />
that it was “technically” possible<br />
for the clause to be in the District<br />
Plan by Christmas.<br />

for residents<br />

Christmas.<br />
Community Board chairwoman<br />
Sally Buck said they wanted the<br />
process to be hastened.<br />
“We believe this is a simple fix<br />
so there shouldn’t be any delay.”<br />
Fellow board member Darrell<br />
Latham said the draft proposal<br />
could come back to the city<br />
council “in a matter of weeks,<br />
not months.”<br />
Ms Dalziel said the process<br />
could only be sped up to a point,<br />
as there was a set process under<br />
section 71.<br />
“All we can do is ask the<br />
community to understand that<br />
we will do everything we can, as<br />

IF YOU’RE drinking a beer<br />
over summer, it may as well be<br />
for a good cause.<br />
A limited one-off brew<br />
from Two Thumbs Brewing<br />
Co, set to be released next<br />
month, will raise money<br />
for the restoration of the<br />
Governors <strong>Bay</strong> jetty.<br />
Brewery owner and<br />
Governors <strong>Bay</strong> resident<br />
Mark Limber said it was<br />
“a bit of no-brainer” to<br />
combine his love of brewing<br />
with a passion for his<br />
community.<br />
“Everybody wants a beer for<br />
Christmas, it may as well be<br />
for a good cause.”<br />
Cases of the yet to be named<br />
and labelled “jetty beer” are<br />
available for pre-order.<br />
All profits will go towards<br />
the restoration of the jetty,<br />
with Two Thumbs only<br />
recouping the cost of labour<br />
and ingredients.<br />
The recipe was known as a<br />
steam beer, using yeast strands<br />
that normally favoured cooler<br />
temperatures in a hot brewing<br />
process.<br />
“It’s something light,<br />
between a pale ale and a lager.”<br />
Mr Limber said his brewery<br />
had released a similar recipe<br />
last summer which “went<br />
down so well.”<br />
“I just thought this would be<br />
ideal.”<br />
The mix was fermenting<br />
last week, and was put into a<br />
conditioning tank this week<br />
where it would stay for a<br />
further two to three weeks.<br />
“That’s when all the flavour<br />
starts developing.”<br />
Only one 800-litre batch<br />
will be brewed, which would<br />
equate to 129 cases of 12<br />
500ml bottles.<br />
“Once those 129 cases are<br />
gone, it’s gone,” Mr Limber<br />
said.<br />
The jetty was an “icon” in<br />
the area, Mr Limber said. It<br />
has been there for more than<br />
100 years and was closed after<br />
the earthquakes.<br />
Mr Limber said the<br />
Governors <strong>Bay</strong> Jetty Trust<br />
estimated it could restore the<br />
jetty for $3 million.<br />
The city council has agreed<br />
to match the trust with up to<br />
$1.5 million in funding.<br />
The trust had arranged with<br />

the city council to purchase<br />
the jetty for the nominal fee<br />
of $1. It would then sell<br />
the jetty back for the same<br />
price once renovations are<br />
complete.<br />
Mr Limber said the group<br />
had applied for grants to fund<br />
the work and needed $600,000<br />
from the community –<br />
$200,000 of which they had<br />
already raised.<br />

SUSPICIOUS RUBBISH FIRE<br />
The Lyttelton Volunteer Fire<br />
Brigade is calling on people to<br />
keep an eye out for unusual<br />
behaviour after a suspicious rubbish<br />
fire on Monday morning. Firefighters<br />
were called to the fire which was<br />
close to LPG tanks between two<br />
buildings on London St. Chief<br />
fire officer Mark Buckley said he<br />
suspected it was deliberately lit<br />
and asked anyone who sees smoke<br />
or suspicious activity to report it<br />
immediately by phoning 111.<br />
ELDERLY MAN RESCUED<br />
An elderly man was rescued from<br />
the Ellas Track near the Sign of the<br />

man had fallen multiple times and<br />
could not walk, but was conscious<br />
and lucid when rescuers from the<br />
Governors <strong>Bay</strong> Volunteer Fire Brigade<br />
arrived. Firefighters carried the<br />
man 400m to the road where he was<br />
picked up by an ambulance.<br />

MORE THAN 90 cruise<br />
ships will weigh anchor<br />
in Akaroa <strong>Harbour</strong> this<br />
season but plans are in<br />
place to lessen the impact<br />
on local residents and the<br />
town’s infrastructure.<br />
The first cruise ship, the<br />
Majestic Princess, arrived<br />
yesterday and the last for<br />
the season, the Golden<br />
Princess, sails into the<br />
harbour on April 13 next<br />
year.<br />
Akaroa will host two<br />
ships in one day on 10 occasions<br />
during the season<br />
and three ships will visit<br />
the town on February 11.<br />
On the busiest day, up<br />
to 5500 passengers may<br />
arrive in the Banks Peninsula<br />
harbour.<br />
City council head of facilities,<br />
property and planning<br />
Bruce Rendall said<br />
each cruise ship visit was<br />
THE FIRST Life in<br />
Christchurch Natural<br />
Environment Survey<br />
has shown the beaches,<br />
rivers and harbours of<br />
Banks Peninsula are the<br />
favoured playgrounds for<br />
Cantabrians.<br />
Between 60 and 80 per<br />
cent of the online survey’s<br />
2350 respondents said<br />
they had visited the Port<br />
Hills, Heathcote River or<br />
Banks Peninsula’s bays<br />
and harbours in the last 12<br />
months.<br />
Around 85 per cent said<br />
they visited Christchurch<br />
and Banks Peninsula’s natural<br />
areas for recreational<br />
purposes such as walking<br />
and cycling.<br />
The survey was conducted<br />
between May 11<br />
and June 11 and the results<br />
would be used to help<br />
inform city council decisions.<br />
It also sought feedback<br />
on environmental and<br />
biodiversity issues, natural<br />
environments, waterway<br />
quality and amenity,<br />
responsibility and actions,<br />
and climate change.<br />
More than half of the<br />
respondents described<br />
managed to help tourists<br />
enjoy their time on shore<br />
but also ease any pressure<br />
on the local area.<br />
“We know that the area<br />
around the Akaroa Wharf<br />
gets very busy on cruise<br />
ship days,” Mr Rendall<br />
said.<br />
“We work to manage<br />
this often congested area<br />
to ensure safety, while also<br />
helping visitors to make<br />
the most of local tours and<br />
activities.”<br />
Each ship visit required<br />
a targeted traffic management<br />
plan, including parking<br />
restrictions.<br />
“We also oversee the<br />
licensing of operators<br />
while keeping activity and<br />
tour sales separate from<br />
departure points so that<br />
we don’t have people milling<br />
around in the main<br />
pedestrian traffic areas,”<br />
their understanding of<br />
environmental issues in<br />
Christchurch and Banks<br />
Peninsula as good or very<br />
good.<br />
However, only 44 per<br />
cent rated their understanding<br />
of biodiversity as<br />
good or very good.<br />
City council monitoring<br />
and research team leader<br />
Kath Jamieson said the<br />
survey highlighted that<br />
local residents valued their<br />
natural environment and<br />
were prepared to play their<br />
part in protecting and<br />
nurturing the region.<br />
“The biennial survey<br />
shows that 97 per cent<br />
of respondents agree or<br />
strongly agree that the<br />

Mr Rendall said.<br />
“Equally importantly”,<br />
Mr Rendall said the city<br />
council worked with cruise<br />
ship companies to minimise<br />
the cost to ratepayers.<br />
Funding was also recently<br />
secured by the city<br />
council towards new toilet<br />
facilities to ease the impact<br />
on local amenities in the<br />
future.<br />
New figures show that,<br />
overall, New Zealand’s<br />
cruise sector has climbed<br />
in value by 18 per cent to<br />
$434 million in the year to<br />

Meanwhile, work was<br />
under way on New Zealand’s<br />

While surface water and<br />
the quality of riverbanks<br />
were viewed as being in<br />
the poorest condition,<br />
Ms Jamieson said the city<br />
council was pleased that<br />
around 30 per cent said<br />
they had volunteered for<br />
conservation work in the<br />
past 12 months.<br />
That included picking<br />
up rubbish, weeding or<br />
taking part in community<br />
planting.

OUTCRY: A proposal to close the squash courts at Lyttelton Recreation Centre<br />
has been delayed by four months. <br />
Decision on Lyttelton squash<br />
court delayed four months<br />
• By Matt Salmons<br />
•From page 1<br />
“It’s looking really positive. If they’re<br />
happy, that’s pretty much it,” Mr Bruce<br />
said.<br />
If approved, the group could “slip the<br />
moorings” and head out to the harbour.<br />
If not, the process would “start all over<br />
again.”<br />
“And once that works it’s hopefully sea<br />
trials. And then if all goes well and the<br />
authorities deem the ship safe we’ll get our<br />
passenger licence reinstated.”<br />
To ready the engines, stokers would<br />
hand shovel around three tonnes of coal<br />
each day at a cost of $400 a tonne.<br />
John Filsell<br />
A DECISION on the fate of Lyttelton’s<br />
squash court has been delayed for another<br />
four months.<br />
The city council considered temporarily<br />
closing the Lyttelton Recreation Centre’s<br />
squash court to trial a community gym in<br />
partnership with Project Lyttelton.<br />
However, city council head of<br />
community support, governance<br />
and partnerships John Filsell said<br />
there had “not been any decision”<br />
to close the remaining court.<br />
Rather it was decided to look at<br />
usage over a period of four months.<br />
“Four months takes us into<br />
the new year and provides an opportunity<br />
to evaluate where we are<br />
and consider the matter in an open and<br />
constructive manner. It is a milestone, not<br />
a deadline.”<br />
Over the period, bookings would be<br />
monitored and players are encouraged to<br />
make greater use of the facility.<br />
“The squash court usage will be evaluated<br />
against other potential community<br />
uses for the space,” Mr Filsell said.<br />
He said it provided the “squash community<br />
with an opportunity to promote<br />
the use of the facility, while allowing the<br />
city council’s partnership with Project Lyttelton<br />
to focus on activating the recreation<br />
centre.” After Project Lyttelton’s proposal<br />
to close and replace the court with a gym<br />
proved unpopular with some residents<br />
in August, the city council said it would<br />
consider the views of the community, and<br />
squash players in particular.<br />
Since then, 89 submissions were received<br />
on the squash court, 19 from people<br />
identified as having used the court.<br />
In August, Project Lyttelton<br />
chairwoman Margaret Jefferies told<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News it had surveyed<br />
about 130 people to find how they<br />
used the centre.<br />
The results indicated there was<br />
“hardly anyone” using the squash<br />
court who registered, she said. But<br />
the group later discovered some people<br />
were using them unofficially.<br />
A number of Lyttelton squash players<br />
had taken to Facebook to criticise the move<br />
and lack of consultation.<br />
Concerns have been raised that closing<br />
the court could effectively kill off the sport<br />
in Lyttelton, as the nearest city councilowned<br />
squash court are in Sockburn.<br />
•A squash ladder tournament has recently<br />
started in Lyttelton. Details<br />
and how to join up can be found at www.<br />

NEW: The Predator Free <strong>Bay</strong>s stall opened for the first time at the weekend at<br />
the Mt Pleasant Farmers’ Market.<br />
Market stall opens up<br />
chance to trap pests<br />
• By Matt Salmons<br />
TRAPPING PESTS in the Port Hills has<br />
become a lot easier thanks to a new stall at<br />
the Mt Pleasant Farmers’ Market.<br />
The Predator Free <strong>Bay</strong>s stall appeared at<br />
the market at the weekend<br />
and will continue to be there<br />
until Christmas at least. It is<br />
being staffed by volunteers.<br />
Predator Free Mt<br />
Pleasant co-ordinator<br />
Derek McCullough said the<br />
weekend had been a success<br />
for the group, with about 30<br />
more people signing up to<br />
trap pests in the area.<br />
“It went really well and we<br />
had a good turn out.”<br />
He said a demonstration<br />
Goodnature trap “smashing”<br />
bananas had been “a crowdpleaser”.<br />
Mr McCullough said the movement had<br />
“really taken off” in the Port Hills area<br />
over the last six months.<br />
“It allows people to come and get their<br />
traps, record their kills, talk to other trappers<br />
about what’s working and what’s not.”<br />
He said interest in conservation has<br />
increased as people become more aware of<br />
Derek McCullough<br />
the Predator Free programme.<br />
“People didn’t realise that just by setting<br />
up a trap, they could be part of the solution.”<br />
Mr McCullough believed there were<br />
more than 100 trappers in Mt Pleasant,<br />
Redcliffs and Sumner. He said<br />
he had received a lot of feedback<br />
from people interested in where<br />
they could get traps.<br />
The stall would now operate<br />
as a hub for people interested in<br />
trapping in the area, as previously<br />
the community mostly met<br />
online.<br />
“It’s good to get the visibility<br />
and to get people involved and<br />
talking to other trappers.”<br />
New trappers may get discouraged<br />
if they can’t get any feedback<br />
or advice, he said.<br />
Most traps available at the stall<br />
cost about $20-$30, with more intricate<br />
designs costing up to $100.<br />
“There’ll be a range of traps available.<br />
The two big predators we’re after are rats<br />
and possums.”<br />
Mr McCullough said the group would<br />
look at continuing the stall in the new year<br />
depending on numbers and sales. “If it<br />
maintains interest, we definitely will.”<br />
PEST: Possums<br />
and rats are<br />
the main<br />
predators<br />
targeted by<br />
trappers in the<br />
Mt Pleasant,<br />
Redcliffs and<br />
Sumner areas.

at Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> Cemetery on<br />
Monday.<br />
While the bird bath has been in place for<br />
more than a week, 15 Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
residents gathered to bless it by taking<br />
turns to speak about its meaning and fill<br />
the bowl with water.<br />
Creator and Green Burials Group member<br />
Anne van der Kooi said the inclusion<br />
of the bird bath completed the eco-burial<br />
area. “I feel really good about it. It has a<br />
calming effect.”<br />
She said the idea for the bird bath had<br />
first come up at a meeting last year.<br />
At the time, Mrs van der Kooi had a<br />
block of Ōāmaru stone in her garden<br />
which she planned to turn into a bird bath<br />
for her own garden. “But I thought, I could<br />
gift this to the community.”<br />
The group arranged for another block of<br />
the stone to be bought for the top section,<br />
and after getting advice from a local potter,<br />
Mrs van der Kooi began shaping the<br />
bird bath herself.<br />
She said it was designed to reflect the<br />
natural cycle of life, with the circular<br />
shape of the bath itself evoking a sense of<br />
“never-ending.”<br />
“I think it’s really peaceful. You’re born,<br />
you live, you die, and your body goes back<br />
to the earth.”<br />
Mrs van der Kooi said the bird bath<br />
would fill naturally with rainwater, but a<br />
nearby tap meant visitors to the cemetery<br />
could top it up in drier periods.<br />
She said it was “really nice to see” her<br />
creation grow as she worked on it each day<br />
over two months. The stone was not too<br />
difficult for an amateur to work with, she<br />
said.<br />
“It’s fairly giving, you don’t have to<br />
The proposed targeted<br />
rate for the Akaroa<br />
health centre funding<br />
not only lacks rationale<br />
but is a concept rife with<br />
anomalies.<br />
The $1.3 million<br />
proposed rate for 3000<br />
ratepayers over four years<br />
appears to fall short of<br />
the required $2.5 million<br />
required by community<br />
funding for this venture.<br />
Both of these amounts,<br />
being vague projections<br />
in terms of the actual amounts needed<br />
and the required duration, would cause<br />
many to query actual mandates within<br />
the Akaroa health centre in respect to the<br />
actual required future funding.<br />
It would be demeaning for private home<br />
and holiday home owners to subsidise<br />
funding for this facility which, being<br />
under the realm of public infrastructure,<br />
BLESSING: Community members<br />
blessed the new bird bath on Monday<br />
by taking turns pouring water into its<br />
bowl.<br />
apply much force.” A keen advocate for<br />
eco-burial, Mrs van der Kooi said the bird<br />
bath was better where it was, rather than<br />
in her own garden as she had planned.<br />
“I think I will be there longer than here,”<br />
she said.<br />
The group finished Monday’s ceremony<br />
with a picnic.<br />
DESIGN:<br />
An artist’s<br />
impression<br />
of the new<br />
Akaroa health<br />
centre.<br />
Reader Gary Knight disagrees with a call for a targeted rate in Akaroa to<br />
help fund the construction of its new health centre<br />
should have the cost<br />
borne from the council<br />
coffers.<br />
The criteria of the city<br />
council’s 2015-2025 Long<br />
Term Plan to operate<br />
grants as a contributory<br />
factor towards<br />
community building is<br />
surely the catalyst for<br />
the required funding for<br />
this community-focused<br />
venture as merely an<br />
added city council anchor<br />
project.<br />
Within this context, reality must prevail<br />
to ensure that Akaroa ratepayers, devoid<br />
of essential services and amenities such<br />
as street lighting and rubbish collections,<br />
have a voice over this issue through an<br />
absolute public consultation process,<br />
which may raise the issue of an imposed<br />
future tourist tariff for the benefit of<br />
Akaroa.

MT PLEASANT’S Tina<br />
Hutchison-Thomas was one of<br />
four Christchurch designers<br />
to take home awards from<br />
the World of Wearable Arts<br />
competition.<br />
Mrs Hutchison-Thomas won<br />
the New Zealand Design Award<br />
for her garment Eye See you<br />
Fluffy Kōwhai.<br />
She said the design was inspired<br />
by the venezuelan poodle<br />
moth and was made of faux fur<br />
and crystals.<br />
“I was drawn to the poodle<br />
moth with its beautiful fluffy<br />
body, which reminds me of<br />
luxurious opera cloaks from the<br />
1920s,” she said.<br />
More than 3500 crystals were<br />
sown into the design to represent<br />
the eye-like colours often seen<br />
on the wings of moths and butterflies.<br />
WOW founder and head Judge<br />
Dame Suzie Moncrieff said<br />
judges described Eye See you<br />
Fluffy Kōwhai as “surreal and<br />
sensuous.”<br />
“The different mediums<br />
used in the construction of<br />
the garment are balanced<br />
beautifully.”<br />
Christchurch central sisters<br />

The garment commemorated<br />

served in World War 1, of which<br />
more than 18,000 never returned<br />

THE NEW Woolston Fire<br />
Station was officially opened on<br />
Saturday, the third of six stations<br />
to be rebuilt and reopened.<br />
More than 150 nearby<br />
residents toured the station on<br />
Saturday afternoon.<br />
Fire and Emergency chairman<br />
Paul Swain, who opened the station,<br />
said the February 22, 2011,<br />
earthquake devastated the city’s<br />
fire stations.<br />
“This modern station is<br />
another step in redeveloping<br />
the metropolitan city’s entire<br />
network of fire stations.”<br />
The new Woolston station was<br />
built on the site of the former<br />
station at a total cost of $6.9 million.<br />
More than 900 piles were<br />
driven in to strengthen the site,<br />
which is 1.2m higher than it was<br />
before.<br />
It features two appliance<br />
bays, six single bedrooms, a<br />
gym, kitchen and lounge and<br />
purpose-built dirty-to-clean<br />
zones.<br />
There, firefighters could bag<br />
smoke-contaminated gear in a<br />
negative pressure environment<br />
before showering to prevent<br />
carcinogen transfer into clean<br />
living and work areas.<br />
The station also has a vehicle<br />
fume management system, a<br />
hose that connects to vehicle<br />
exhausts, so the appliance bay<br />
would not fill with fumes from<br />

Fire brigade’s secret weapon<br />
Governors <strong>Bay</strong> volunteer<br />
firefighters call deputy chief Stu<br />
Weaver their secret weapon.<br />
The 58-year-old caught up with<br />
Matt Salmons to talk about<br />
the Port Hills fire, training days<br />
and why he has been with the<br />
brigade for 16 years<br />
Where did you grow up?<br />
I was born just outside of Birmingham,<br />
England, in the West Midlands. I had<br />
a pretty normal childhood, went to the<br />
local school, that kind of thing. When<br />
I got married we lived in a place called<br />
Kenilworth, just outside of Coventry. I<br />
was a self-employed electrician. I still am.<br />
Well, technically, I’m the service manager<br />
for Prolec, but still in the same game.<br />
Tell me about your family.<br />
I’ve got a wife Gail and two sons, both<br />
are in the Governors <strong>Bay</strong> Volunteers Fire<br />
Brigade. My 25-year-old son Richard is in<br />
the rural part and a trainee builder. My<br />
younger son, Harry, he’s a chef and in the<br />
urban side of the department.<br />
When did you move to New Zealand?<br />
In 1996. I just fancied a change – getting<br />
away from the rat race, to be honest.<br />
Simple as that. We landed in Auckland<br />
and toured all around New Zealand for<br />
six weeks. We just liked the look of things<br />
here. Before we knew it, we’d bought a<br />
section in Governors <strong>Bay</strong>, built a house,<br />
and we’ve been here ever since. It was two<br />
days after my eldest’s third birthday, so<br />
moving here was not exactly popular with<br />
the grandparents at the time, but they<br />
came around. We just love it. As soon as<br />
you come over those hills, you feel the day<br />
lift off your shoulders. It’s like going on<br />
holiday every night.<br />
When did you get involved with the<br />
fire brigade?<br />
I’ve been involved 16 years now. I<br />
was always asking neighbours who<br />
were involved what was going on and,<br />
eventually, I got myself organised and<br />
went around. It’s nice to do something for<br />
your community, but it’s also a good place<br />
to meet like-minded people. In the early<br />
days, there was a lot of hands-on, practical<br />
stuff. Being a sparky I’m more into that. It<br />
gave me a bit of a buzz, bit of excitement.<br />
When did your family get involved?<br />
Richard was all for it from a very<br />
early age. He’d hang around the station<br />
whenever he could. He joined on his 16th<br />
birthday and just loved it from day one. I<br />
always knew he would join. My youngest,<br />
Harry, I honestly didn’t think he’d be too<br />
bothered. But no, he turned up on his 16th<br />
birthday as well. As for Gail, she’s involved<br />
in helping out by default really.<br />
Are you proud that it’s a family affair?<br />
I am really. It’s good that they<br />
understand the demands. With the boys<br />
joining, the three of us rush down the<br />
stairs at the same time when the siren goes<br />
off, trying to get out the door first.<br />
What has been your biggest call-out?<br />
That’s got to be the Port Hills fire.<br />
Where I started off was the second fire,<br />
over at Marleys Hill. I was the officer<br />
in charge there, while chief fire officer<br />
Andrew Norris went off to sort out water.<br />
That was a bit of an experience. The<br />
wind was blowing quite viciously and we<br />
decided then and there that we weren’t<br />
going to put the fire out, it was beyond<br />
that, even with helicopters. Our job was<br />
to stop it coming over the road and into<br />
Governors <strong>Bay</strong>. It was quite a long night. I<br />
remember some of the rural guys literally<br />
stomping with their boots and shovels<br />
on ashes as they blew over the road. They<br />
were just that determined that it wouldn’t<br />
get a hold on that side of the hill. The<br />
second night I was on the water tanker,<br />
driving around the new bike park. You<br />
could see the trees suddenly igniting in<br />
this big ‘v’ shape, all in flames in seconds.<br />
It was an incredible sight, something I’ll<br />
never forget.<br />
What was the community response<br />
like?<br />
The response from the locals you’d<br />
have to see to believe it. People were just<br />
dropping boxes of food off, boxes of beer<br />
off, saying thanks very much and walking<br />
away. I’ve never seen anything like it. You<br />
had four days where we just lived at the<br />
station, supplied by the locals. They just<br />
kept turning up. It was quite humbling.<br />
When did you become the deputy?<br />
I’m not sure off the top of my head –<br />
about 18 months ago, I think. Maybe<br />
it’s been two years. Time goes fast. I<br />
remember having the white helmet passed<br />
to me. Steve Kennedy, the assistant area<br />
commander, came over to hand it over. It’s<br />
not something I expected. When I joined,<br />
the chief and deputy had been there for a<br />
long time and I thought it would just carry<br />
on.<br />
What does the role involve?<br />
Normally it’s a training role, but we’ve<br />
got a training committee, so I’ve avoided<br />
that. I’ve been the treasurer for about 12<br />
years. Funnily enough, the AGM comes<br />
around each year and nobody else wants<br />
the job. That’s a pretty busy role. Being<br />
deputy is more just helping to organise<br />
things and you go to meetings with the<br />
other chiefs and deputies every quarter.<br />
There is some responsibility. The other<br />
guys, when something happens, they look<br />
to you and expect you to know the answer.<br />
How was the recent training day?<br />
That was Andrew’s idea about five or six<br />
years ago. The main point is to give those<br />
down the ranks a chance to have a go in<br />
the officer’s seat. Being a volunteer brigade,<br />
you can’t guarantee an officer will turn<br />
up, so anybody may need to fill the role, it<br />
happens. It’s simulated, but we make it as<br />
realistic as we can.<br />
What did you organise this year?<br />
A large, simulated house burn. We filled<br />
the old St Cuthbert’s Church vicarage<br />
with smoke so people could go in there to<br />
do a search and rescue. We tried to keep<br />
everyone busy, put them through their<br />
paces. It’s nice to do an actual practice<br />
house burn, but you don’t get many of<br />
those. After lunch, I was the officer in<br />
charge at the rescue at the quarry. In the<br />
morning, we kept everyone busy with a lot<br />
of short scenarios and we’re thinking we<br />
might go more that way next year.<br />
Did Mt Herbert Parish have any<br />
problems with you smoking out the<br />
vicarage?<br />
It’s no longer in use and needs some<br />
tender loving care, shall we say. So, in the<br />
meantime, they generously let us borrow it<br />
from time to time. It’s an empty building<br />
and until they raise some money and fix<br />
it up, it will remain empty. A real houseburn<br />
when you do get them is a whole-day<br />
thing. We burn them down room by<br />
room, it’s great training. But with a couple<br />
of smoke machines, you couldn’t see the<br />
other side of the room, so it did simulate it<br />
very well.<br />
What would you like to see for the<br />
future of the brigade?<br />
We’ve built a new storage shed out the<br />
back so I’d like to see the landscaping<br />
done to finish that off. Allegedly, over<br />
Christmas, fingers-crossed, we’ll get a new<br />
appliance which would be great. As for<br />
what I’ll be doing, well, maybe the chief’s<br />
job? Not that I’m gunning for it. But you<br />
never know,<br />
Andrew might hang around for a long<br />
time and he’s very welcome to it. I would<br />
also like to get people involved, not<br />
necessarily to fight fires, but with other<br />

Your Local Views<br />
Getting through disasters together<br />
Communities<br />
get through<br />
the tough<br />
times better<br />
together, writes<br />
Heathcote<br />
Ward city<br />
councillor Sara<br />
Templeton<br />
A RECENT survey has suggested<br />
Christchurch residents are not<br />
prepared for another disaster,<br />
with only 47 per cent storing<br />
enough water for their household<br />
for three days.<br />
This has caused concern and<br />
consternation among some<br />
circles.<br />
Yet we are more prepared<br />
than we have ever been. Water<br />
and food storage is not the only<br />
measure of preparedness for<br />
disaster. As well we know, most<br />
people did not have these stores<br />
in place in 2011, and yet we<br />
found that we coped.<br />
But we didn’t cope alone as<br />
the survey suggests we would.<br />
We coped as communities. We<br />
banded together, connected,<br />
sourced resources and shared<br />
what we had. It was a human<br />
response and one we will repeat<br />
again if needed.<br />
We do need these supplies. We<br />
also need to keep them up-todate<br />
and having enough water<br />
for three days for your household<br />
is really important – but it’s not<br />
all doom and gloom.<br />
Many of our communities now<br />
have community resilience or<br />
response plans, where locals have<br />
identified hazards, worked out<br />
what resources are needed and<br />
planned a response.<br />
We saw this at work in<br />
November 2016, when the Mt<br />
Pleasant community operated<br />
its own response centre at the<br />
local school, looking after those<br />
who needed it and staffed by<br />
volunteers.<br />
I have recently been in<br />
Indonesia at a conference<br />
focussed on disaster risk<br />
reduction and the key thing<br />
that came through was the<br />
importance of community to any<br />
planning.<br />
Connected communities can<br />
respond to a disaster in a way<br />
that Government cannot and<br />
supporting them to plan ahead of<br />
time is important.<br />
They also recover better<br />
afterwards. It’s also important<br />
that these plans are sustainable<br />
and do not simply sit on a shelf.<br />
Local government cannot look<br />
after everyone in a time of crisis,<br />
but we can help communities<br />
plan and stay connected.<br />
That work is a priority for the<br />
city council, and we help by<br />
providing facilities, community<br />
grants and staff time to support<br />
groups to develop and maintain<br />
response plans.<br />
So now that we’re in daylight<br />
saving, when you check your<br />
fire alarms and when we test<br />
the tsunami sirens, check your<br />
emergency kit too.<br />
Make sure your supplies aren’t<br />
out of date, that you have enough<br />
water stored – and have a chat<br />
with your neighbours as well.<br />
TOGETHER: Sara Templeton<br />
says communities can<br />
respond better to disasters<br />
like earthquakes when they<br />
work together.<br />
Time to get your boat back on the water<br />
As spring starts,<br />
navigational safety officer<br />
Gary Manch gives a few<br />
safety tips for getting<br />
back out on the water<br />
YET ANOTHER month has<br />
passed by, spring is in the air and<br />
more of you are getting out and<br />
about on the water. This is great<br />
to see, what a fantastic resource<br />
we have on our doorstep.<br />
I have a couple of reminders<br />
this month and, as usual, they<br />
relate to safety.<br />
For those of you who<br />
paddleboard, please remember<br />
that you are required to wear a<br />
personal flotation device when<br />
on the water unless you are<br />
physically involved in breaking<br />
waves (surfing). If this is the<br />
case, you must have a leg rope<br />
attached.<br />
The second reminder relates<br />
to the annual favourite, personal<br />
flotation devices (PFDs). Have<br />
you checked yours since last<br />
season? If it is an inflatable one,<br />
have you: Checked the outer<br />
cover for holes and signs of<br />
wear? Orally inflated the bladder<br />
and left it inflated for 24 hours?<br />
If it deflates, you should either<br />
replace it or take it to a reputable<br />
boat shop for repair. Have you<br />
checked the gas cylinder for<br />
corrosion? Make sure it has not<br />
been used and it is screwed in<br />
firmly.<br />
If your PFD is not an inflatable<br />
Pirate’s Corner<br />
type, make sure: It has no signs<br />
of wear and tear. Put it in a<br />
bath full of water overnight<br />
and make sure it is still floating<br />
in the morning. If there is any<br />
water ingress, the jacket must<br />
be replaced. If the life jacket is<br />
a kapok-filled one, it should not<br />
be used. Check out the Maritime<br />
New Zealand media release,<br />
dated 7 July <strong>2018</strong>, in relation<br />
to this type of jacket (www.<br />
maritimenz.govt.nz/public/<br />
news/media-releases-<strong>2018</strong>/).<br />
It advises boaties that old life<br />
jackets with kapok filling or<br />
cotton straps are unsafe, are<br />
likely to fail when used and<br />
should be destroyed.<br />
If in doubt, get your PFD<br />
checked by an authorised dealer<br />
and, if you’re still in doubt,<br />
throw it out.<br />
Lastly, remember your PFD<br />
must be the correct fit – it should<br />
be comfortably snug, but not too<br />
tight. A well-fitting jacket will<br />
feel like a firm handshake. A<br />
crotch strap should be used with<br />
all PFDs.<br />
That’s it from me for this<br />
month, be safe out there and<br />
make the most of the nice days.<br />

<strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> teens run<br />
for youth cancer cause<br />
SCHOOLS<br />
• By Matt Salmons<br />
THIRTEEN students from<br />
Sumner, Redcliffs and Heathcote<br />
returned home from a gruelling<br />
but rewarding adventure on<br />
Monday.<br />
The teenagers, who attend St<br />
Bede’s and Marian colleges, ran<br />
25km a day for five days through<br />
the heart of the South Island<br />
in the Run For A Life event,<br />
arriving back home on Monday<br />
night.<br />
The event supported CanTeen,<br />
with each runner individually<br />
raising money. Overall<br />
about $100,000 was raised<br />
for the youth cancer support<br />
organisation.<br />
Last week, 160 pupils and<br />
40 staff set off from St Bede’s<br />
College to start their five-day<br />
trip back.<br />
Sumner parent Jim Stenberg<br />
travelled with his two sons<br />
Josh, 17, and Charlie, 15, who<br />
ran from Aoraki/Mt Cook to St<br />
Bede’s.<br />
He said the teens were<br />
humbled by the experience and<br />
it was great to arrive at St Bede’s<br />
College where their family and<br />
friends were waiting to welcome<br />
them back.<br />
“They [the runners] all knew<br />
how much they had achieved<br />
and they got there. Some of them<br />
were quite emotional.”<br />
CLOSE: Teenagers from the <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> area were among a<br />
group running in an event to raise money for CanTeen.<br />
Mr Stenberg said the journey<br />
had been fantastic. “We’ve been<br />
billeted, put up and people<br />
have fed us along the way.<br />
The community spirit, it’s just<br />
massive. It blows you away.”<br />
He said people had<br />
approached the runners to<br />
donate to the cause as they<br />
ran.<br />
Small groups of about 20<br />
runners took on each route,<br />
taking turns to run 5km.<br />
Over the course of each day,<br />
the groups covered 100km.<br />
“They know it’s only a short<br />
period of suffering compared<br />
to these kids who actually have<br />
cancer.” Mr Stenberg said he was<br />
“very proud” of the efforts of<br />
his sons and their fellow<br />
runners.<br />
“I actually had [bowel cancer]<br />
myself, which is why I really<br />
wanted to come on the trip with<br />
them.”<br />
He said initially only Charlie<br />
was running, but their cousin<br />
was recently diagnosed with<br />
leukaemia, spurring Josh to join<br />
his brother.<br />
“They want to do it for (their<br />
cousin) as well. That’s the biggest<br />
thing about it, making everyone<br />
aware of how big it is,” Mr<br />
Stenberg said.<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong> School pupils in their<br />

EVERY Wednesday is<br />
gardening and cooking day<br />
at Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> School.<br />
The senior and middle<br />
school pupils start the day by<br />
harvesting vegetables from<br />
the garden and checking for<br />
a supply of eggs from the<br />
chickens.<br />
They select recipes to cook<br />
and divide the tasks up<br />
among the class members<br />
and parent helpers.<br />
At lunchtime, as delicious<br />
smells waft out of the school<br />
kitchen, the pupils say a<br />
karakia kai (prayer) and the<br />
class eats together before inviting<br />
other students to share<br />
their culinary creations.<br />

Bruce Ansley retraces the path of the doomed<br />
surveyor John Whitcombe across the Southern<br />
Alps, follows the raiding party of the northern chief<br />
Te Puoho along the West Coast, sails around New<br />
Zealand’s northern and southern capes; walks through<br />
the Valley under the Two Thumb Range to the mythical<br />
Mesopotamia; drives from Waiheke to Wanaka (in a hurry), sets off<br />
on a hunt for the South Island’s Grey Ghost, looks deep into the heart<br />
of volcanic New Zealand and tracks our most unlikely hero, the prison<br />
escaper George Wilder.<br />
November Road<br />
by Lou Berney<br />
Set against the assassination of JFK, a poignant and evocative crime novel<br />
that centres on a desperate cat-and-mouse chase across 1960s America –<br />
a story of unexpected connections, daring possibilities, and the hope of<br />
second chances from the Edgar Award-winning author of The Long and<br />
Faraway Gone.<br />
Frank Guidry’s luck has finally run out…A loyal street lieutenant to<br />
New Orleans’ mob boss Carlos Marcello, Guidry knows too much about the<br />
crime of the century: the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.<br />
Within hours of JFK’s murder, everyone with ties to Marcello is turning up<br />
dead. Suspecting he’s next, Guidry hits the road to Las Vegas. When he<br />
spots a beautiful housewife and her two young daughters stranded on the<br />
side of the road, he sees the perfect disguise to cover his tracks from the<br />
hit men on his trail. The two strangers share the open road west – and<br />
find each other on the way. But Guidry’s relentless hunters are closing in<br />
on him, and now he doesn’t want to just survive, he wants to really live,<br />
maybe for the first time.<br />
Everyone’s expendable, or they should be, but Guidry just can’t throw away<br />
the woman he’s come to love. And it might get them both killed.<br />
