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. 

• By Louis Day 

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.

Crime 

wave 

sweeps 

Diamond 

Harbour 


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. 


Motel loses fight against skate park 

However, if the design is confirmed 

by the board next year, 

construction of the park would 

start in the spring of 2020. 

LOCATION:

But Mr Smith understood that 

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 

police to be worrying about.” 

Lyttelton police Sergeant Franco 

Lovrich advised residents to be 

cautious entering the holiday 

season. 

“Really it’s all about prevention,” 

he said. 

“It’s about letting your neighbours 

know you’re not there, 

clearing your mailboxes if you’re 

away on holiday, not having your 

mailbox clear is probably one of 

the biggest indicators that nobody 

is home.” 

Sergeant Lovrich encouraged 

people to report any suspicious 

behaviour to police. 

“We are still not getting everything 

reported to us, it seems 

to be someone will write on a 

community page as opposed to 

reporting it directly.”

“The plan in the next couple of

want to see happen in Government.” 

Mia has a passion for science 

and technology. 

“I’m in love with technology 

and coding and science. I’ve 

done a lot of robotics in the past, 

and over the last six months my 

project has been to create a water

Bid to save Redcliffs Park fails 


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

Work starts 

to prevent 

flooding in 

Little River 


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 

Valley Rd to the school to make 

access easier, it will also go a

The roof to the main hall will 

be replaced and borer treatment 

will be applied throughout the 

building. 

A number of boards throughout 

the building including the 

weatherboards on the south 

external wall, the deck boards 

and some of the boards on the 

floor of the main hall will also be 

replaced. 

The Gaiety will be open for 

all existing bookings, however, 

it will be closed while internal 

work is being carried out during 

the day. 

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 


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.”

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

Ardern and the Labour caucus

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. 


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 

If you are wanting to sell your 

home before Christmas... 

ACT NOW 

Now is the time to act as buyers are actively looking to 

secure their new home before the holiday season starts...

News 

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 

club president Brian Reeve on

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

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

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 


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.

Morgan Lee (open girls) are

Sumner Tennis and Squash Club president Phil Loughnan is disappointed last week’s article on the club in Bay 

Harbour News focused on its new bar. He responds 

representing Canterbury schools 

at the South Island primary and 

intermediate schools finals in 

Timaru. 

We have 12 interclub teams, as 

well as 49 pre-interclub juniors. 

Sumner Tennis and Squash Club 

has new facilities, of which it is 

very proud. 

Our kitchen and bar are well 

equipped and elegant, but our

that use of the bar is limited 

exclusively to members and their

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

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 


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 &

EPOXY 

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

the distance. EPOXY grout is 90% non porous. With all the chemicals, 

soap residue, mineral deposits and dirt that end up on the shower 

base, it really does need EPOXY grout if you want it to last 10+ years. 

BEFORE 

AFTER 

Replacing cracked tiles, resiliconing shower edges, removing calcium 

buildup on shower tiles, regrouting cracked grout and all tile related 

issues are part of the Groutpro service.
