LYTTELTON PORT COMPANY UPDATE
The Fairway leaves our shores after spending 12 weeks on our Channel Deepening Project.
One of our bigger projects is
the deepening of the navigation
channel, which started in
August when one of the world’s
largest dredges, the Fairway,
arrived in Lyttelton Harbour.
The Fairway was a fixture
in Lyttelton Harbour for 12
weeks, as she worked around
the clock to widen, lengthen
and deepen the navigation
channel. She has dredged more
than five million cubic metres of
mud and silt off the sea floor.
The dredging programme means
larger container ships, which have
virtually doubled in size during
the last 10 years, will now be able
to call at Lyttelton. Prior to the
Channel Deepening Project some
vessels had to wait for high tide
before they could arrive or depart
our Port – now larger vessels can
access the Port at all times.

NEVER FORGOTTEN: World War 2 veteran William Joker and RSA president Pat Boland stand in front of the 21 crosses on
Wakefield Ave.

CROSSES that remember 21
men from the Sumner area
who were killed in World War
1 can now be claimed by their
descendants.
The 21 crosses were displayed
at the Sumner Redcliffs RSA
Armistice Day commemoration
last month.
RSA vice-president Bernie
Godden said the descendants
could get in touch with the RSA
to claim a cross.
The crosses were made by RSA
members for Armistice Day as
part of a nationwide initiative to
create a cross for every serviceman
lost in World War 1.

Diamond
Harbour
• By Louis Day
DIAMOND HARBOUR is
caught in a crime wave – the
worst in at least 20 years.
A house has been broken into,
a $1500 boat trailer has been
taken and mail continues to be
stolen from letterboxes.
Chief fire officer and former policeman
of 34 years, Bob Palmer,
said he has not seen this much
crime in Diamond Harbour since
the late 1990s.
“We had a major burglary crime
wave maybe 20 years ago, something
like 26 or 30 burglaries over
three or four days.”
Jeremy Smith said the last few
months had been the worst he
had seen in his three years as Diamond
Harbour Neighbourhood
support co-ordinator.
Mr Smith said four or five
parcels had been stolen in the last
couple of weeks.
“There was one occasion where
the courier driver dropped off a
parcel and went back 20min later
and it had been taken.”
Mr Smith said in a perfect
world it would be ideal to have a
permanent police presence in the
area. •Turn to page 4

IF YOU live in Diamond Harbour keep
your eyes peeled.
We reveal on page 1 today the area is
gripped by a small crime wave.
The way to nip a small crime wave in the
bud is to catch the culprit or culprits.
The public has a part to play in that.
The police can only do so much. With the nearest police
station a reasonable hike away a place like Diamond Harbour
can be good pickings.
But it can also be a crim’s undoing.
Strangers stand out in small communities, even in busy
Diamond Harbour.
So if you spot something or someone that looks suspicious
note their descriptions and write down their vehicle’s rego
number.
Then call the police.

A SUMNER motel owner’s bid
to stop a skate park from being
constructed across the road has
failed.
The Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community Board approved
26 Nayland St as the location for
the Bays Area skate park.
Sumner Bay Motel owner
Roger Evans expressed his concerns
throughout his deputation
to the board that the skate park
would disturb his customers.
“I’m not against a skate park
but I think the Nayland St site
is going to affect my business
because of the acoustics.”
Mr Evans also thought the
Nayland St site was not the “best
value for money for ratepayers.”
The skate park on Nayland St
would be smaller than it would
have been on other sites due to
a considerable portion of the
money being allocated towards
rockfall mitigation.
The motion to approve the
Nayland St site as the location
for the skate park was carried
unanimously by the board, however,
some of the members still
had their concerns about the site.
Community board member
and city councillor Yani Johanson
“reluctantly” supported the
decision.
“This has been an issue that
has gone on for a very long time,
I’m just disappointed it’s going
to be a small skate park and
half the money is going towards
rockfall mitigation.”
Cr Johanson said it was vital
the design of the park catered for
local businesses in the area.
“We really need to get a good
grasp of noise issues and how
through the design those things
can be mitigated and if it comes
down to it and it’s not possible
then we may need to look for
somewhere else.”
The board does have the option
to change the location of the
skate park if they are not satisfied
with the design.

by the board next year,

would require a “significant monetary
commitment.”
“Diamond Harbour is such a
small community and resources
are limited and there’s obviously
far more crime in the cities for

Lyttelton police Sergeant Franco
Lovrich advised residents to be

“Really it’s all about prevention,”

“It’s about letting your neighbours

the biggest indicators that nobody

Sergeant Lovrich encouraged

Mia has a passion for science

“I’m in love with technology

Bid to save Redcliffs Park fails
• By Louis Day
A BID to stop Redcliffs
School moving to the area’s
neighbourhood park looks like it
has come to an end.
A petition from the Friends
of Redcliffs Park group, aimed
at stopping the move, has been
rejected by a Government select
committee.
The petition, which received
208 signatures, called for the
new school
to be opened
on its existing
site, as
opposed to
Redcliffs
Park, due to
concerns of
Chris Doudney
flooding and
tsunami risk.
But it was
rejected by the Education and
Workforce Committee last week.
Construction of the new
school is set to start next year
and be completed by 2020.
Friends of Redcliffs Park
spokesman Chris Doudney said
he was not surprised but was still
disappointed by the committee’s
decision.
“It’s a higher tsunami risk
than the other site and it’s also a
higher flood risk than the other
site,” he said.
Mr Doudney said the school’s
move to the new site would be a
burden to ratepayers.
“Ratepayers will have to
pay $100,00 worth of roading
alterations to which we feel
should have been the Ministry
of Education’s responsibility. The
alterations are entirely down to
the school being moved.”
Mr Doudney said it was likely
to be the end of the road for

Redcliffs Park.
“There’s nothing more we can
really do about the current plans,
if we could we would.”
Redcliffs School board of trustees
chairman Darren Fidler said
it was now time to move on and
push forward with the school
rebuild on Redcliffs Park.
“I think this [the petition being
rejected] shows that the only
feasible option to get the school
back to Redcliffs by 2020 was to
move to Redcliffs Park.”
Mr Fidler was also
confident flood risk could be
mitigated.
“Due diligence was done
as part of the site selection in
regards to a whole range of
hazards, flooding was included
in that, we are getting improved
drainage in that lower field as
part of the school build.”

Work starts
to prevent
flooding in
Little River
• By Louis Day
WORK TO reduce the risk of
flooding in Little River is now
under way.
Banks Peninsula Community
Board member Tori Peden said
some money had been put aside
to combat the risk of flooding in
the area.
“There have been people on
the ground inspecting a few of
the old drains to figure out what
the game plan is going forward.”
The move to address the
threat of flooding was prompted
by a submission on the Long
Term Plan from the Little River
Wairewa Community Trust.
Trust chairman Robert Burch
said reducing the risk of flooding
would make Little River a
“happier and healthier place to
live.”
“We will be able to proceed
with other items of infrastructure
that includes a recreation
area behind the river being
regenerated, that includes things
like walkways from Western

access easier, it will also go a
long way in ensuring State Highway

and some of the boards on the

replaced.
The Gaiety will be open for

it will be closed while internal

Cottage neglect concerns trust
The cottage at 40 Rue Jolie
was built in the late 1870s.
Deputy mayor and Banks
Peninsula councillor Andrew
Turner said he shared the concerns
of the trust.
“I am worried about the decay
to the building and also the image
it presents in Akaroa being
a key site.”
City council took expressions
of interest in regard to the
cottage and is currently undertaking
a request for proposal
process.
Cr Turner, however, was unhappy
with the amount of time
this was taking.
“I am doing everything I
possibly can to ensure we get
on with what needs to be done,
both in terms of repairs to the
cottage and also to get that
request for proposal process out
of the way so we can determine
future use as soon as possible.”
The process was expected
to be finished before Christmas,
however, Cr Turner has
requested for the cottage to be
prioritised so the process can be
finished even sooner.

Frustration over wharf delays
• By Louis Day
FRUSTRATION IS growing
for fishermen on Akaroa wharf
as they continue to be impeded
by some of Black Cat Cruises’
structures which fall on to
public land.
The Banks Peninsula Community
Board requested all
non-consented structures, such
as disability access ramps, seating,
signage and canopies, be
removed within three months
back in July. In spite of this, two
disability ramps still remain
more than a month after they
were meant to be removed.
Black Cat Cruises chief
executive Paul Milligan said it
is waiting on the city council to
approve its new plans.
“We were hoping this would
be resolved weeks ago, but we
are waiting on the council as
much as anyone is at this stage.”
Veteran fisherman of 50 years
and Akaroa Fishermen’s Association
head John Wright said he
was sick and tired of waiting for
a resolution.
“We have been on to this for
a good year, maybe more. All
we are asking [city council] is to
enforce the rules they have put
in place.”
Mr Wright said the combination
of the disability ramps and
crowds of tourists from cruise
CROWDED: The combination of tourists from cruise ships
and disability ramps on Akaroa wharf have made it almost
impossible for local fishermen to do their job.
ships were a real issue.
“There are some days where
it is impossible to get a chiller
truck on to the wharf to unload
our fishing vessels. If it’s a hot
day and we’ve got fish on the
deck, it spoils in the hot sun.”
Deputy Mayor and Banks
Peninsula city councillor Andrew
Turner said getting rid of
the disability ramps was not as
simple as first thought.
“It transpired that it wouldn’t
be that easy to remove the ramps
and ensure the accessibility of
the disabled. That has led to an
ongoing conversation with our
staff and Black Cat Cruises on
how to resolve this issue.”
Cr Turner was confident the
conflict would be resolved in the
upgrade of the wharf.
About $10.5 million has
been put aside for the upgrade,
which is expected to start in
April.
“This really is an opportunity
to make sure that what we have
got is fit for purpose and that
it is able to accommodate all of
the various businesses that the
Akaroa wharf is home to.”
Cr Turner said the widening
of the wharf entrance and wharf
itself was a strong possibility in
the upgrade.

BANNED: People in non-self contained vehicles can no longer
freedom camp in Akaroa.
New freedom camping
restrictions in effect
FREEDOM camping restrictions
in Akaroa came into force on
Saturday.
Freedom campers are now
restricted to three marked areas
near the Akaroa Croquet Club on
Woodhill Rd.
The freedom camping area
allows 18 fully self-contained vehicles
to stay overnight. Non-selfcontained
vehicles are prohibited.
This comes after the city council
agreed to alter the Freedom
Camping Bylaw to restrict where
people can camp in vehicles
overnight.
Under the original bylaw,
freedom camping was banned in
Akaroa’s commercial and main
waterfront areas, but people were
allowed to camp in self-contained
vehicles for up to two nights
in other parts of the township,
including residential areas.
The amendment to the bylaw
followed a summer of complaints
from Akaroa residents about
unsavoury behaviour from some
freedom campers.
Deputy Mayor and Banks
Peninsula city councillor Andrew
Turner said the city council
wanted to encourage a positive
relationship between the community
and freedom campers.
“Amending the bylaw means
we can manage some of the more
negative impacts of freedom
camping while still allowing
responsible freedom campers to
be able to enjoy what Akaroa has
to offer.”

Redcliffs
School
principal
Rose
McInerney
talks about
how the
community
has helped
the school get ready to
move into its new home
WHAT A strong and resilient
community we have here in
Redcliffs.
We are just short of one year
away from moving into our
brand new school, which has
only been made possible by the
strength of this community.
Has fighting against closure,
navigating land swaps,
and watching demolition got
our children and families down?
Quite the opposite.
We have just completed one
of the biggest and most exciting
school fairs in the city.
Our fair is so important to
us – not only is it our main fundraiser,
bringing in funds for the
resources we need in the coming
months, but it puts smiles on our
children’s faces.
Our school fair involves
enormous commitment from
many – from the staff team leaders
through to people who bake
cakes, donate goods and give
their time before, during and
after the fair itself.
It’s exciting to think that in
the coming year, we will be able
to use some of these fair funds
raised to enhance the playscapes
in our new school.
We’ve had a long road, and it’s
hard to believe that our year 8
children were five when the June
earthquake sent us from our
school to our temporary location
in Sumner.
Our senior children shared
their Redcliffs School journey
in a presentation with Jacinda
Ardern and the Labour caucus
when they were invited to visit

News
Now
Community behind Redcliffs School
MEETING: A Redcliffs School pupil is welcomed by Minister of
Justice Andrew Little before the school’s presentation to the
Labour caucus last week.
Fire rages, homes at risk
Parliament on Tuesday last week.
Our children talked of their
experiences in the earthquake
and their home away from home
at Sumner and Van Asch. They
talked of determination, love of
their school and the resilience
and perseverance they have
learned watching the adults in
their lives work so hard to return
their school to Redcliffs.
These children represent the
eight years that have nearly
passed since the February earthquake
changed the landscape for
our school (both figuratively and
literally). They, and our current
year 7 pupils, will not have the
privilege of attending our new
school, but they will forever be a
part of it.
I’d like to extend an enormous
thank you to all in our community
who have so relentlessly
supported us. We’re very much
looking forward to returning our
school to Redcliffs again at the
beginning of 2020.

Sustainability key
to organic farming
There’s something for
everyone in the realm of
organic farming but as far
as Bill Martin is concerned,
it’s all about sustainability.
The Training College
Manager at Lincoln
University’s Biological
Husbandry Unit Organics
Trust (BHU) is happy to see
a surge in enthusiasm for
organic food production
as younger generations
become more aware of
environmental concerns.
He says the growing
popularity of organic
production in recent years
means that graduates are
now taking what they have
learned into a broader
range of sectors.
“It’s not just about
growing, wholesaling
and retailing food anymore. They’re
going into schools and teaching primary
and secondary schoolers about the
importance of sustainable farming and
gardening and really starting to embed the
philosophy into the education system.”
As far as conventional agricultural
practices are concerned, he says farmers
should be encouraged to optimise their
production, rather than maximise it at the
expense of the environment.
“We need to change our agricultural
paradigm and re-evaluate our priorities.”
Mr Martin says those interested in a
career in organics should enrol in the
one-year Diploma in Agri-Food Production
course, which is open to students either
with or without university entrance.
Introduced last year, it includes Tikanga
and Mahinga Kai components and can
lead to employment in organic primary
production or other sectors related
to organics, especially education and
hospitality.
“The course offers a good grounding
in the principles of organic agriculture,
teaching the philosophies and histories
of organics and providing practical
knowledge of how they are applied,” Mr
Martin says.
Apply now for the Diploma in Organic
Agri-Food Production and begin studying
in February 2019.
Grow a career
in organics
Lincoln University’s Diploma in Organic Agri-Food Production will prepare
you for work in the organic sector or your own garden or smallholdings. It’s
a full-time, one-year programme that covers the theory and practice behind
contemporary organic agri-food production.
Join us in February to find out what growing organically on an agricultural
scale really means.

Santa photo will need
some crafty editing
I’M INTO week two of
my stay-at-home-dad
adventure and I’ve been
treated to another series of
firsts.
Vittoria saw her first live
crab at Waikuku Beach,
we took our first little walk
hand-in-hand (just in the
lounge) and I even got some
steps towards me.
My favourite firsts,
though? First photo with
Father Christmas and first
time going to an activity
where other stay-at-homedads
turned up.
If you have zero clue of
what being the odd one out
feels like, being a dad at a
baby activity is normally a
great introduction.
In my experience, outside
of weekends and public
holidays, dads at said events
are proverbial unicorns;
rare and naturally herd
animals.
Recently I took Vittoria
to our first Toes and
Giggles session as the
stay-at-home parent. It’s a
music and movement thing;
songs, toys, other babies
with coffee and biscuits
after.
I was pleased to see two
other dads (also in their
first couple of weeks on the
job so to speak) come in. It
will be cool to have some
contemporaries at some of
the same events to share
stories and compare notes
with.
We didn’t get much
time to chat, Vittoria
made multiple beelines for
the door, so I’m looking
forward to the next session
to talk about the stay-athome-dad
role.
As for Vittoria’s first
Santa photo, that brought
a small revelation to
light.
When I was a kid, I
remember being excited
about Santa photos and
getting a chance to get
my order in before
Christmas.
Going by Vittoria’s face
when jolly St Nick walked
out for the photo, I’ve
discovered that excitement
is something you have to
work up to.
She looked terrified and
fascinated all at once and
flat out refused to be too
close.
So for her photo, she’s
sitting on my wife Laura’s
knee, who is sitting next to
me, sitting next to the guy

I’m really looking
forward to getting the
final product when it’s
ready – apparently there
will be some crafty editing
to make it look like we’re
on the beach. However, I
don’t think they can edit
out Vittoria’s side-eye to
Santa.

Busy lead-up to Xmas
for Lyttelton Rotary
Lyttelton Rotary Club member Barry Toomey writes about
what the club has been doing and what its plans are in the
lead-up to Christmas
FANTASTIC: Craig Fraser in front of the Scarborough Park playground’s new recycled plastic
picnic tables.
Scarborough Park playground
gets new plastic picnic tables
THE Scarborough Park
playground is now home to two
picnic tables made completely out
of plastic.
Fulton Hogan Canterbury
maintenance operations
manager Craig Fraser came
up with the idea while
completing the upgrade of the
playground.
“I talked about it with a few of
my colleagues and we thought
it could be a good move to see if
we could get some park furniture
made from recycled soft plastics,
instead of the standard timber
outdoor tables and chairs.”
The city council supported
the idea, replacing the standard
outdoor timber tables and chairs
with picnic tables made from soft
plastics.
The six tables came from
Wellington company Metal Art.
“These tables are designed to
last for more than 50 years and
when they’ve reached the
end of their life span, they can
be recycled again,” said Mr
Fraser.
“Any graffiti can be removed
with white spirits and if the table
is scratched it can be fixed with
light use of a blowtorch.”
The city council has also
recently approved the installation
of 60 recycled soft plastic bench
seats for bus stop sites around
Christchurch.
LYTTELTON ROTARY can
mark up a successful year with
Christmas now only days away.
In September, with the help
of a local city council ranger,
the club got busy and tidied up
the very neglected Baden Norris
Walkway between Oxford St and
Sumner Rd.
The walkway had been
damaged in the earthquakes
and very little maintenance
had been done since then. This
is going to be an ongoing club
project with guidance from the
city council, so please feel free to
visit and enjoy this track, which
is in the memory of well-known
Lyttelton man Baden Norris,
who unfortunately passed away
recently and did not see the work
the club had achieved there.
The club also hosted Papanui
Rotary for a social evening with
special guest speaker Sandra
Manderson, who spoke about
her police involvement during
last year’s British and Irish Lions
rugby tour.
It is amazing how much goes
on behind-the-scenes for this
type of event to happen here
in New Zealand, and everyone
found it very interesting.
With Christmas fast
approaching, the club is now
selling tickets to its Christmas
raffle. The team is out and about
in the community selling this
great hamper prize so please
support it as the money goes
back into local community
projects within the harbour
basin.
On Sunday December 23, the
club is hosting the Community
Carols in Albion Square starting
at 7pm. Come along one and all
and enjoy the community spirit
and be part of the Christmas
build up. Children are especially
welcome to help out with the
singing and one never knows
who might appear. Clue: He
wears a red suit.
Next year will be another big
one for Lyttelton Rotary so if you
are thinking of being part of a
team which is keen to support
the community, plus have some
fun along the way, feel free to call

Getting ready for
the festive season
Christmas means a lot of things to a lot of
people. For some it is a religious celebration,
for others a chance to gather with family and
celebrate. Whatever Christmas means to you,
there are many ways to celebrate – from the full
grandeur of baked ham and turkey with all the
trimmings or a picnic on the beach with the ones
you love.
For some, Christmas can be a stressful time
of year, but there are ways to minimise this and
spread the workload, so everyone can enjoy the
day.
Here are some ideas to help you get through the
festive season.
Create order in your home
Start preparations early, if you are hosting
everyone at your house, don’t leave it all to the
last minute. Start the spring clean up now so
when it comes to the days leading into the holiday
season you are not rushing around – making you
stressed and exhausted.

Tackling one room at a time is a good way
to purge and get organised. Sorting through
wardrobes and cupboards and getting rid of
anything you haven’t used in the past year. Having
all the rooms organised means there will also be
space for those coming to stay during this busy
time.
Once you’ve dusted and vacuumed shut the
doors and just air out the room a few days before
your guests arrive. A nice towel placed at the end
of the bed and a small floral arrangement from the
garden can also add a nice welcoming touch.
Share the food load
We have between 25 to 30 people for Christmas
most years, but our family has got smart. The host
divvies up the food between each family, spreading
the cost and the work.
About four weeks before the big day, we send
out a food allocation of what each person brings.
Normally the parents get the turkey and ham
with the offspring in charge of vegetables and

Panforte
puddings. This is a great way to
spread the load and the cost and allows for those
who aren’t cooks to also contribute – we just put
them in charge of nibbles, drinks or chocolates for
on the table etc.
Just make sure you tell each person how much
is needed, for example you don’t want someone
turning up with just one punnet of strawberries.
The rule is that whatever you bring you must
have prepared, so the new potatoes arrive scraped
in a pot, the vegetables and the salads and puddings
are all made.
A little bit of organisation ahead of time means
everyone gets to enjoy the day and join in the fun.

Our People
Tonight Lyttelton singer
and songwriter Lindon
Puffin will perform at a
variety concert to raise
money for a Christchurch
YouthHub. His own
experiences when he
was younger have led
him to want to give back
and help youths. Sophie
Cornish talks to him
Lindon Puffin
Ageing gracefully but still making
How did you benefit from a
youth health centre when you
were younger?
I was in a glam-punk band and
I was a pretty strange-looking
fella at this point. I was young
and in a heavy goth phase.
That was all part of coming out
of Rangiora High School and
desperately trying to find my
own identity. I didn’t fit into
the expectations of normality
and was trying to find my own
path. We had this band called
The Puffins, which was pretty
androgynous. We were there to
shock people and we got quite
a good following. I didn’t really
have the backing from my family.
Everyone was hoping I would
just get through this phase and
become normal. I had done okay
at school. It’s a pretty similar
story to a lot of youths, those
who fall outside of that curve.
Someone mentioned the health
centre, the original 198 Youth
Health Centre on Hereford St.
I went there just to see a doctor
and we realised there was this
place where we could go and be
ourselves. It was the only place
in town that was on our side,
people didn’t judge you on how
you looked. It was such a vital
thing. It was genuinely a hub;
it was where we ran into all
the other artists, out-liars, the
quirky youth. Whether they were
alienated because of their sexual
identify, mental health or just
having an odd appearance.
When did you first begin
music and why?
It was when I was 11 or
12-years-old. I was one of those
kids who got really obsessed by
music. I listened to tapes over
and over again until I knew every
word. When I was 12, I could
recite the entire album of Pink
Floyd’s The Wall. There was the
usual suspects of Fleetwood
Mac, Queen, the music that is
‘okay’ to listen to in Rangiora.
In high school I met people who
listened to music the way I did.
By the time I was 14-years-old,
my school books were filled with
pictures of Bob Dylan and John
Lennon. Then I started to teach
myself the guitar and piano.
By the time high school was
finished, we had a crappy school
rock band, which eventually
turned in The Puffins. We were
doing crazy things to our hair,
making our own costumes. I
would like to say I had a really
supportive family and that
they nurtured that, but I didn’t
really have that. My mum was
supportive, she believed in me,
but they would’ve liked to see
me do something different. My
brother Ross somehow also
escaped Rangiora. He became
a very successful contemporary
dancer and choreographer
overseas. He is currently the
New Zealand Art Laureate of
Choreography and Dance. My
sister Claire became a heavy
diesel mechanic in the mines in
Australia and now works as an
advocate for women’s rights in
the mining industry. We were
raised to have a very strong
sense of work ethic, which was
ingrained in us from a young
age. In that way we have just
continued to do that sort of
thing. For me, it became music. I
worked that as hard as I could.
I understand you are involved
in quite a bit of charity work -
what else do you do for charity?
There are different things
that come up. For example, this
week on Thursday, the radiology
department at Christchurch
Hospital is having a quiz-night
fundraiser for the Christchurch
Battered Women’s Trust. I am
co-hosting the quiz, playing some
music and helping organise that.
It is about raising money but
also about raising awareness and
morale. A few months ago at the
Adventure Park there was a fundraiser
for tree planting. There
was a dinner there and was MC, I
also played. So there is balance of
doing those things and also doing
my work, such as playing in bars.
Just last weekend I played at OGB
and Rowdy Kitchen. On Sunday,
this week, I am playing at a charity
Christmas picnic at the Little
Big Tree Nursery. They saw me
playing and wanted to put something
on for the workers’ families.
It is a variety of different things. It
is definitely an around the clock
effort. Some of it you get paid for,
some of it you don’t. People like
Dr Sue Bagshaw, who wants to
organise this new YouthHub, is
actively trying to make the world
a better place every day. I look up
to people like that and try to help
out where I can.
How long have you lived in
Lyttelton and what drew you
there?
In the mid-1990s I came
over here when The Puffins
started playing regularly at the
Wunderbar. It was the another

place, along with the 198 Youth
Health Centre, where we could
be ourselves. It is a very eccentric
place; we were encouraged by
the owner to be as outrageous
as we could. He was German
guy called York. He would say
to us, “anything that is like the
ordinary rock ’n’ roll, I will just
turn you guys away . . . at least
half of them (the audience) have
to leave upset and if they are
not leaving, then you are doing
something wrong.” We were
very lucky to have that place,
we developed our whole band
aesthetic around it. I always
had a connection to Lyttelton.
Eventually I brought a little
piece of land with my dad by
the Timeball. We built a little
cedar box house on the hill. Then
my partner, Belinda Trott and
I had a couple of kids in quick
succession, they are 13 months
apart. We focused on our house
project and I stopped touring, I
have really tried to stay local for
the past five years or so with the
family. But, I’m not quite wearing
Crocs and a polo just yet.

music in Lyttelton
I stopped dying my hair and
I’m trying to age gracefully.
There is a lot of artists here and
there is a real sense of team about
the place, really positive, creative,
competition.
On your Facebook page
you’ve listed covert yacht rock,
pop, rock, folk, punk as your
genre? What is covert yacht
rock for the people who may not
know and how best would you
describe your genre or sound?
It’s kind of subversive soft rock,
when I wrote that, it was a bit of
a joke. Once I moved past the
glam-rock phase, in the 2000s,
I started doing my solo music,
which was probably closer to
what I was listening too. I got
through that phase of shocking
people and just focused on the
songs. I feel like the music I
make, is similar to The Mutton
Birds, Dave Dobyn, Split Enz,
that New Zealand sound and
voice. I think it’s a New Zealand
folk-rock kind of sound.
You have opened for some
international acts like Tenacious
D and Billy Bragg – what’s the
closest you’ve ever gotten to big
fame? Any big names you’ve
rubbed shoulders with?
Billy Bragg is a real hero
of mine, there is integrity
personified. Paul Kelly also, I
haven’t opened for him, but I’ve
always dreamed of it. When
you are putting out albums, you
are always hustling for those
support spots, because you are
trying to promote what you have
done. I have done a couple of
tours with Billy and I just felt
incredibly lucky to have been in
that position. I toured with Chris
Knox a bit, The Mutton Birds and
The Exponents. Tenacious D is
one I can put in my bio.
I read online that you full
name is actually Lindon
McCormack, where did The
Puffins and then Lindon Puffin
originate from?
Really, we were just trying to
come up with a band name that
was colourful and somehow
we came up with The Puffins
and it was the perfect name for
a glam-rock band. We all had
crazy names in the band, I was
Lindon Puffin, the keyboard
player was Lake Vincent, because
he was Jeremy Lake. Everyone
just mucked around with their
names, it was part of making
an identity. Jason Clements the
bass player was Clements the
Bear. There was an ever evolving
seat of drummers and they were
always known as Ramona. After
I finished with the band, I got
roped into doing breakfast show

at RDU and the name stuck.
You are a father of two, what
does your typical day look like?
I try and get up in morning
and get my work done while
Belinda keeps an eye on the kids,
Rita, 3, and Elliott (also known
as Lolzy) who is almost two. I
try and do all my organising
then, it’s a constant hustle being
a freelance musician. Then I
take over in the afternoons,
when Belinda goes to work. She
works for TVNZ as an editor
for 1 News at 6 and Seven Sharp.
Sometimes I will be lucky to get
a single email done. I remember
an interview with Jacinda Ardern
and her partner Clarke, who
said he was going to build a deck
when he was a stay-at-home
dad. All of us dads laughed in
unison. He’s never going to build
a deck for the foreseeable future.
The key word I am still trying
to learn is patience. You have to
learn to put the tools down and
focus on the kids, because that is
what your job really is. It can be a
challenge.

Protected
estuary
island a
lifeline for
rare gulls
A GRAVEL island built in a
wetland reserve near the estuary
is proving a lifeline for up to 300
endangered black-billed gulls.
The gulls are nesting on the
island in the Charlesworth
Wetland Reserve in Ferrymead,
which is protected from the
heavy rain and flooding that has
destroyed other river nesting
sites.
The island in the reserve,
which is about 25m long and 1m
above the tide line, was built by
city council staff in 2003 in the
hope of creating a safe nesting
habitat for the black-billed gull,
which is critically endangered in
New Zealand.
City council ranger and
ornithologist Andrew Crossland
said this is the biggest breeding
colony of black-billed gulls and
their coastal cousins, red-billed
gulls, seen at the site since before
the earthquakes and provides a
“glimmer of hope.”
“We have up to 300 birds nesting
there at the moment. This
location is safe from river flooding
and we think the chicks
have got a really good chance of
surviving. It’s a signal to other
councils and organisations that
if we create these islands on tidal
or freshwater wetlands, then the
black-billed gulls will come and
we can help boost the population
which has been in rapid
decline. It’s a great result for the
survival of this species.”
Predators such as blackbacked
gulls, ferrets, cats and
stoats have impacted on the
threatened birds’ numbers,
along with a reduction in habitat,
mainly from weed invasion
of riverbeds.
Charlesworth Wetland
Reserve is made up of 20ha of
land, separated from the Avon-
Heathcote Estuary by Linwood
Ave and Humphreys Drive.

SCHOOLS
Students
clean up
Lyttelton
• By Louis Day
MORE THAN 120 students from
Christ’s College helped clean up
Lyttelton as part of their year 10
service week.
Groups were organised and
managed by Conservation
Volunteers New
Zealand and the
Banks Peninsula
Conservation Trust
as they carried out
a range of tasks.
Assistant
principal Neil
Porter said the
Neil Porter
week was part of the school’s
emphasis on learning about
service in the community.
“It used to be a week when the
kids went on camp, now we do
camp in a different way. Now
they’re just out in the community,
giving the kids an experience of
helping others,” he said.
Some students spent time at
Port Saddle where they weeded
around native trees that had been
planted by the Banks Peninsula
Conversation Trust.
WE ARE a sports club . . . not
a bar.
The article on the opening of
the new squash courts, changing
rooms and lounge unfortunately
focused on the bar, rather than
the club itself.
We have a very active junior
and senior on-court membership.
We have three new squash
courts and four tennis courts,
all of which must be booked
because of the high demand
from members. Over the last
six weeks, we have run the
annual spring tournament
which attracted 85 of our senior
members.
The new squash courts have
attracted new squash players
and our squash membership is
growing.
Sumner has a very strong
junior club, of which our juniors
represent well at the Canterbury
level.
Among them, Jack Hansen
Ratter and Isaac Boomer are
current 10s boys doubles Canterbury
champs and Archie
Whithear also won the 11s
boys doubles at the Canterbury
champs this year.
Macklan Robertson made the
New Zealand junior masters top
eight play-offs and also recently
won the Canterbury primary
schools open doubles. He has
also been named in the 12 years
Canterbury team to play at the
nationals teams event in January.

NEW BEGINNINGS: Sumner Tennis and Squash Club

at the South Island primary and

We have 12 interclub teams, as
well as 49 pre-interclub juniors.
Sumner Tennis and Squash Club

very proud.
Our kitchen and bar are well
equipped and elegant, but our
licence requirements dictate
that use of the bar is limited

Month of ‘messy’ waves
SPORTS
Aaron's Surf Report
NOVEMBER WAS a month to
forget weather-wise.
Three or four Tasman lows
passed over the South Island one
after the other, which created a
constant easterly flow with wet,
humid weather seemingly neverending.
Surf-wise the easterly
wind created plenty of surf with
ridable waves most days, but the
on-shore wind meant mainly
messy, lumpy conditions.
Looking ahead, a highpressure
system has moved in
over this week so hopefully,
things brighten up for a bit.
On the contest scene, the local
groms have been out and about
at various contests. The South
Island primary school champs
were held at North Beach over
the weekend in big, stormy
conditions.
Jack Tyro won the year 7/8
boys and Eva Henderson won
the year 7/8 girls. Amelie Wink
was third in the year 7/8 girls. In
the year 6s, Travis Henderson
was third in the boys, while
Ameli Campbell was second and
Tessa Langman was fourth in the
girls.
Lucy Temoananui has been
in China competing at the ISA
world SUP champs on Hainan
Island, China’s equivalent of
Hawaii. The event was held in
nice, clean, head-high waves on
a sand-bottomed, left-hand point
break. This was Lucy’s second
year representing New Zealand
at the ISA world champs. She
SMOOTH SAILING: Lucy Temoananui navigates her way through the waves at Hainan Island off
the coast of China during the ISA world SUP champs. (Below) – Jack Tyro was all smiles after
taking out the year 7/8 competition at the South Island primary school champs.
performed well in her first
round, winning her heat, but
couldn’t find the waves in her
subsequent heats to finish 17th
overall.
Estella Hungerford was part
of the New Zealand junior surf
team which competed at the
ISA world junior champs at
Huntington Beach, California,
at the start of last month. Estella
progressed through several heats
before coming unstuck in the
repechage round three, finishing
the event in 43rd overall.
New Zealand has secured two
spots for next year on the highest
tier of competitive surfing, the
world championship tour. Paige
Hareb (Taranaki) re-qualified
recently with a win at the White
Buffalo Hyuga Pro in Japan.
Ricardo Christie (Gisborne)
re-qualified over the weekend
gaining enough points at the
Vans World Cup at Sunset
Beach, Hawaii.
It’s going to be great to see two
Kiwis on the world stage next
year.
Sumner fail
to make
one-day
cricket finals
• By Louis Day
SUMNER HAVE failed to make
it into the finals of the one day
competition for the first time
in four years after losing to
Burnside on Saturday.
Sumner travelled to Burnside
Park missing two top order batsmen.
The loss was their fourth
consecutive defeat.
After losing the toss, Sumner
batted first in wet conditions.
They lost regular wickets and
were all out for a disappointing
81.
In reply, Burnside went on the
attack and, in spite of losing four
wickets, made short work of the
total.
Dean Smith continued his
good form with three wickets,
but 81 was not enough to defend,
said Sumner club captain Dan
Vann
He said his side could not contain
their disappointment after
not reaching the finals.
“We were unfortunate to again
lose the toss in bowler-friendly
conditions for the third week
in a row but we still underperformed.”
Mr Vann said his side desperately
missed their skipper Johnny
Beveridge, who is currently playing
for the New Zealand Police
cricket team in Australia.
Sumner now turn their attention
to the two-day competition,
in which they are currently at the
top of the table.

REAL ESTATE
A pleasant surprise - “As Is, Where Is”
214B Mt Pleasant Rd, Mt Pleasant
Auction: From 12pm, Thursday 13 December, Harcourts Grenadier, 98 Moorhouse Ave – unless sold prior
4 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms | 4 toilets | 2 living rooms | 1 dining room | 3 car-garage | 2 off-street parks | Listing Number: SM0133
Serving as an immaculate example of an as
is, where is property, this partially repaired
four-bedroom home enjoys exceptional
north-facing views over the sea and coastline
offering the ultimate hillside lifestyle.
With remediation three-quarters complete,
the vendors have now exceeded their cap and
don’t wish to proceed any further with the
remaining repairs, and therefore, they offer
this superbly presented home to a new buyer
who can live incredibly comfortably while
they finish the last of the work required in
their own time.
The property’s cladding has been repaired
and a new kitchen installed. The kitchen
exudes modern style with its granite
benchtops and breakfast bar, all benefiting
from an elevated outlook over the sea that
stretches across to Ferrymead.
The multi-level living layout includes a
breath-taking lounge on the central portion of
the first floor which features a double height
ceiling that contributes a sense of grandeur to
the space. From there, a small set of steps lead
you up to the kitchen and open plan dining
and living area where you can admire the
unobstructed views beyond. Lots of balconies
and decks provide outdoor flow and there is
some good flat lawn for children to play.
Four good sized bedrooms are serviced by
three bathrooms and a powder room, with the
master bedroom having a walk-in wardrobe
and an ensuite with a spa bath. One bedroom
has a kitchenette and could be used to hosts
guest or run Airbnb. There’s great level drive
on access with turning and internal access
triple car garaging which are further enticing
features of the property.
Located within easy reach of the various
coastal suburbs that lead you around to
Sumner Beach, this property also enjoys a
relatively straight-forward commute into the
city centre which will take you less than 20
minutes by car. Zoned and within walking
distance to Mt Pleasant School (decile 10).
Being sold on an as is, where is basis, this
property offers comfort and presents buyers
with the opportunity to complete the home
to their taste. Possibly the best we have
marketed!
Open Homes: Wednesday, Saturday &
Sunday 3:15pm - 4:00pm.

EPOXY grout is a large part of the answer in making sure showers last
