A LYTTELTON man had a lucky<br />
escape after a fire started in the<br />
ceiling of his home early yesterday<br />
morning.<br />
Lyttelton chief fire officer Mark<br />
Buckley said working smoke<br />
alarms saved the man’s life.<br />
St John spokeswoman Chrissy<br />
Hamilton said the man was<br />
taken to hospital with minor<br />
injuries and was treated for smoke<br />
inhalation.<br />
Fire and Emergency New<br />
Zealand attended the Ticehurst<br />
Rd fire around 2.45am.<br />
It took an hour and a half to put<br />
the fire out, which started when<br />
a ceiling cavity caught fire in the<br />
roof.<br />
Mr Buckley said the kitchen<br />
and lounge area had “quite a bit<br />
of damage” and the ceiling cavity<br />
was 80 to 90 per cent burnt.<br />
He said it would be “hard to<br />
say” what the outcome might<br />
have been if the man didn’t have<br />
working smoke alarms.<br />
“It certainly wouldn’t have been<br />
as good as what it is.”<br />
Mr Buckley said he believed the<br />
man hadn’t owned the house for<br />
very long before the fire.<br />

get in touch<br />
from the editor’s desk<br />
RICHARD STEVENS was probably a<br />
fairly ordinary sort of bloke, living a fairly<br />
routine sort of life.<br />
But just over a 100 years ago, he was<br />
thrust into an overseas adventure he<br />
wouldn’t return from: World War 1.<br />
Today we revisit Richard’s life in a small sort of way. The cross<br />
which bears his name on display at the Sumner Redcliffs RSA<br />
on Armistice Day has been claimed by his great niece, Annette<br />
Sowman.<br />
Richard’s war started and ended in that hell hole for Kiwis<br />
and Australians alike – Gallipoli.<br />
He was wounded at Chunuk Bair in August <strong>19</strong>15 and shipped<br />
to Egypt where he died the following month.<br />
This Christmas spare a moment for Richard and the others<br />
like him who never came home.<br />

welcome change to District Plan<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
THE APPROVAL of a sought<br />
after change to allow coastal<br />
residents to rebuild or extend<br />
their properties has been<br />
described as a “momentous<br />
occasion.”<br />
Minister for Greater<br />
Christchurch Regeneration<br />
Megan<br />

used her<br />
powers under<br />

Darrell<br />
Latham<br />
Megan<br />
a change to<br />
the District<br />
Plan. It comes<br />
after a clause<br />
in the plan was<br />
initially omitted<br />
making it almost<br />
impossible for<br />
people with<br />
properties in<br />
the residential<br />
unit overlay of<br />

Hazard Management Area to<br />
rebuild or renovate.<br />
Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />
Community Board member<br />
CHRISTMAS PRESENT: A District Plan change will now make<br />
it possible for coastal residents living in the High Flood<br />
Hazard Management Area to rebuild or renovate their homes.<br />
Darrell Latham said it was a<br />
“momentous occasion”.<br />
He said it was vindication for<br />
the stand he took along with<br />
city councillor David East,<br />
Coastal-Burwood Community<br />
board chairwoman Kim Money<br />
and deputy chairman Tim<br />
Sintes over the issue.<br />
In September, Cr East called<br />
for an independent inquiry<br />

after claims city council staff<br />
tampered with the plan. He has<br />
since apologised. However, an<br />
investigation into why the clause<br />
was left out of the plan is likely.<br />
“The changes approved by the<br />
minister will provide fairness,<br />
equity and a greater degree<br />
of certainty to the affected<br />
landowners and residents of<br />
Redcliffs and Southshore,” Dr<br />

Latham said.<br />
“I am absolutely over the<br />
moon and it is a great Christmas<br />
present to see that these changes<br />
have now been approved.”<br />
Christchurch Coastal<br />
Residents United deputy<br />
chairman Warwick Schaffer<br />
welcomed the decision.<br />
“It was getting so close to<br />
Christmas and everyone was<br />
getting nervous . . . I think you<br />
probably heard a collective woohoo<br />
from the beach suburbs,”<br />
he said.<br />
Bur Dr Latham said it is now<br />
“critically important” the city<br />
council provide information on<br />
how it plans to investigate the <br />
omission.<br />
He said it is important to<br />
have this information so he can<br />
report back to the community<br />
and ensure they have confidence<br />
in the process.<br />
Redcliffs Residents’<br />
Association secretary Pat<br />
McIntosh said Dr Wood’s<br />
decision will be “extremely<br />
popular”.<br />
“It is an acknowledgement<br />
of the current reality and the<br />
difficulties that have been<br />
caused since it became part of<br />
the plan,” she said.<br />

PASSENGER: Godfather of punk<br />
Iggy Pop watched The Androidss<br />
play at the British in <strong>19</strong>79.<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News’ article on the history of the British Hotel sparked fond memories for The Androidss’ band member<br />
Mark Wilson and event organiser-turned-Central Otago district councillor Martin McPherson. Julia Evans talks to<br />
them about the time they met the godfather of punk<br />
THE ANDROIDSS’ Mark<br />
Wilson and former promoter<br />
Martin McPherson recall the<br />
night United States punk icon<br />
Iggy Pop turned up at the<br />
British for The Mad Hatter’s<br />
Tea Party gig.<br />
A leather jacket with an<br />
embroidered tiger on the back<br />
and a denim Greek fisherman’s<br />
hat was the perfect disguise for<br />
Iggy Pop.<br />
It was July 13, <strong>19</strong>79, and<br />
Iggy Pop was in Christchurch<br />
promoting his I’m Bored album.<br />
McPherson had organised<br />
a gig, and Christchurch punk<br />
band The Androidss were<br />
the headline act. You weren’t<br />
allowed in without a hat.<br />
McPherson had received a<br />
phone call from Iggy Pop’s arrived and they were charged<br />

some local knowledge.<br />
“I went outside and I was<br />
“I suggested that I might be sitting on the fence and had a<br />

whisky with Iggy Pop at the British Hotel in <strong>19</strong>79.<br />
it really stood out. We were<br />
talking about the music scene.<br />
He was really interested in what<br />
Lyttelton and Christchurch<br />
were doing, what we did and<br />
what we were doing.”<br />
The Androidss started<br />
playing Iggy Pop’s The<br />
Passenger. “He went inside and<br />
stood in front of the band,”<br />
McPherson said.<br />
Lead guitarist and vocalist<br />
Mark Wilson said the band<br />
played about five Iggy Pop<br />
covers a set, by coincidence.<br />
“I saw this guy and I thought,<br />
what, that guy looks a lot like<br />
Iggy Pop,” he said.<br />
They soon realised it was the<br />
real deal. “He was sitting to the<br />
side of the stage, and we offered<br />
him the mic. He said ‘no man,<br />
it’s your song’.”<br />
When the set was finished,<br />
the band went over to meet<br />
Iggy Pop, who was sitting at<br />
a table, keeping a low profile.<br />
They shared a whisky and<br />
chatted.<br />
“He didn’t say much, kept his<br />
head down and quickly left. He<br />
walked out the door and put<br />
his fingers up in a V for victory<br />
sign, then left,” Wilson said.<br />
But as low profile as it was,<br />
Iggy Pop’s foray into Lyttelton<br />
soon became public.<br />
“They’re tough as bitches,<br />
but they’re beautiful,” he was<br />
quoted as saying about The<br />
Androidss in The Press.<br />
“It certainly helped out<br />
because we soon up and left to<br />
Auckland.”<br />
Only three members of<br />
the seven-piece band are still<br />
around.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
fond memories of the old pub<br />
The article on the British<br />
Hotel also struck a chord<br />
with readers, who share<br />
their stories of the iconic<br />
haunt<br />
HISTORY: The British Hotel on<br />
the corner of Oxford St and<br />
Norwich Quay has a long and<br />
colourful history.<br />
Peter Thompson – I read<br />
your interesting article in <strong>Bay</strong><br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> News about the British<br />
Hotel. I would like to point out<br />
a few points that might be of<br />
interest to you.<br />
I was property manager for<br />
Dominion Breweries from<br />
<strong>19</strong>82 to <strong>19</strong>92. In this role I was<br />
responsible for some 148 hotels<br />
and taverns throughout the<br />
South Island. The British Hotel<br />
was one of my responsibilities.<br />
The land and buildings were<br />
owned at the time by the then<br />
Lyttelton Borough Council,<br />
which in turn was leased<br />
to various operators – Guy<br />
Daigneault being one such party.<br />
At the time of starting my role<br />
with DB, the British was under<br />
DB control and sub-leased to<br />
Margaret and Fred Archibald.<br />
I believe they had been<br />
operating the hotel for several<br />
years before starting my role<br />
in DB. Mr and Mrs Archibald<br />
operated the hotel until about<br />
<strong>19</strong>85 or <strong>19</strong>86, not too sure.<br />
At the time of their departure<br />
to take up the lease of the<br />
European Hotel in Dunedin,<br />
DB sold its interest in the British<br />
Hotel.<br />
On one occasion, the United<br />
States commander of an ice<br />
breaker wanted to use the<br />
Basement Bar for his crew<br />
and sort out a price with Mr<br />
Archibald. He stated a price<br />
(can’t recall the amount), say<br />
$1000, the commander peeled off<br />
US$1000.<br />
Mr Archibald of course was<br />
referring to New Zealand dollars.<br />
I believe it was a great night.<br />
Another instance was the<br />
upgrade of the tank room,<br />
which needed the floor to be replastered.<br />
To do this with minimal<br />
disruption to trade, the work was<br />
undertaken over the Easter break<br />
closing the bar late Thursday,<br />
plastering the floor on Good<br />
Friday.<br />
For Saturday while the<br />
plasterer was setting, DB parked<br />
a tanker on the street with hose<br />
feed to the bars – one brand only.<br />
On the Sunday, I had two<br />
carpenters attend to various<br />
repair work.<br />
During a tea break a phone<br />
conversation was heard between<br />
Mr Archibald and what appeared<br />
to be a female with Mr Archibald<br />
laying down the law as to an<br />
outstanding debt.<br />

Stories of the British<br />
•From page 5<br />
The safe was open at the time,<br />
with Mr Archibald asking me if I<br />
noticed anything different about<br />
the safe. To me the safe was like<br />
any other similar safe, common<br />
to pubs.<br />
However, Mr Archibald asked<br />
me to follow the line of the<br />
wallpaper above the safe to the<br />
back of the safe.<br />
Low and behold, the safe had<br />
no back to it and apparently this<br />
had been the case for many years.<br />
I’m sure if the customers of<br />
the British were aware of this, a<br />
quick forward manoeuvre and<br />
its contents could readily be<br />
accessed.<br />
Mr and Mrs Archibald were a<br />
great couple and the British Hotel<br />
continued in safe operational<br />
guidance during their watch.<br />

British Hotel was an exciting<br />
place to go and felt slightly risky<br />
when I arrived in Lyttelton 44<br />
years ago.<br />
You never knew who you would<br />
meet or run into. Even a certain<br />
Christchurch lawyer and friends<br />
could be seen there among the<br />
crews from visiting ships from all<br />
around the world, in the bottom<br />
bar of course.<br />
There was a group of working<br />
girls who often travelled with<br />
some crews and the place was<br />
thumping with people. They were<br />
known as ship girls and they used<br />
to travel around New Zealand on<br />
the ships as a lifestyle choice.<br />
Yes, the British was known<br />
globally with the shipping<br />
industry workers. This was precontainer<br />
ships and had a lot<br />
more workers on board.<br />
Visiting seamen were not really<br />
troublesome but Christchurch<br />
locals were and they sometimes<br />
came over and caused fights.<br />
There was never a dull moment<br />
downstairs in the Dive bar and<br />
the girls used to spill up the stairs<br />
alongside local fisherman and a<br />
few hard drinking and singing<br />
locals upstairs.<br />
It was not dull and I used to<br />
make a part time income for a<br />
few years selling instant polaroid<br />
photos to the ship girls and their<br />
chosen partner.<br />
I missed Iggy Pop<br />
unfortunately, but those in<br />
the know used to check out<br />
the shipping arrivals in the<br />
newspaper to see what the action<br />
was like.<br />
All this changed when container<br />
ships became the norm.<br />
However now all that is history.<br />
I still live in Lyttelton. I<br />
t has been gentrified and<br />
cleaned up.<br />
It was nice to see the article.<br />
Cross will find a home<br />
•From page 1<br />
Now more than 100 years<br />
later, a cross honouring his<br />
bravery will be claimed by his<br />
great niece. Annette Sowman<br />
has been the first descendant<br />
to contact the Sumner Redcliffs<br />
RSA to claim one of 21 crosses<br />
remembering the men from<br />
Sumner who died in World War<br />
1. The crosses were on display as<br />
part of the RSA’s Armistice Day<br />
commemorations last month.<br />
Mrs Sowman, 79, said it is<br />
special for her to be able to claim<br />
her great uncle’s cross.<br />
“I am thrilled because it is<br />
the only link I have to him,” she<br />
said.<br />
Mrs Sowman said Pvt Stevens<br />
received several medals after the<br />
war that was passed onto her<br />
grandfather Herbert Webb and<br />
then onto her uncle, but she does<br />
not know what has happened to<br />
them since.<br />
She said she will likely place<br />
the cross in her garden or by<br />
a framed photo she has of her<br />
great uncle. Mrs Sowman said<br />
it would have been a “shock”<br />
for the family to not have Pvt<br />
Stevens return home.<br />
“But don’t forget I wasn’t born<br />
until <strong>19</strong>39 . . . I don’t remember<br />
my grandparents saying anything.<br />
They didn’t talk about<br />
those things,” she said.<br />
NEVER FORGOTTEN: World War 2 veteran William Joker and<br />
RSA president Pat Boland stand in front of the 21 crosses on<br />
Wakefield Ave.<br />
The Battle of Chunuk Bair<br />
was a major World War 1 battle<br />
fought between the Ottoman defenders<br />
and troops of the British<br />
Empire over control of the peak<br />
in August <strong>19</strong>15.<br />
During the battle New<br />
Zealand suffered nearly 2500<br />
casualties including more than<br />
800 dead.<br />
Pvt Stevens is buried at the<br />
Alexandria (Hadra) War Memorial<br />
Cemetery.<br />
He was the seventh child of<br />
Maria Ann (nee Webb) Stevens<br />
and Captain James Finch Stevens.<br />
His father died tragically<br />
on the wreck of sailing ship<br />
Lizzy Guy in 1888.<br />
The RSA is calling for other<br />
descendants to step forward to<br />
take their cross.<br />
President Pat Boland said<br />
anyone else who may have a<br />
family claim, they should get in<br />
touch with them. <br />

Consultation for<br />
health hub funding<br />
Gifts<br />
THAT KEEP ON<br />
Growing<br />
A PROPOSAL to increase<br />
Akaroa’s rates to pay for<br />
the new health hub will<br />
have to get seal of approval<br />
from the community.<br />
The Banks Peninsula<br />
Community Board recommended<br />
at its meeting on<br />
Monday to consult on giving<br />
a one-off grant of up to<br />
$1.3 million to the Akaroa<br />
Community Trust.<br />
The trust is fundraising<br />
for the new 12-bed health<br />
hub, which is being built to<br />
replace Akaroa Hospital.<br />
The hospital was damaged<br />
beyond repair during the<br />
February 22, 2011, earthquake.<br />
The Canterbury District<br />
Health Board is partly<br />
funding the $5.9 million<br />
building, but the trust has<br />
promised to contribute<br />
$2.5 million to the project.<br />
It has raised more than<br />
$1.27 million.<br />
The board is recommending<br />
the city council<br />
consult the community on<br />
different options for raising<br />
the money, including a<br />
OUTSIDE: An artist’s impression of the final design for<br />
the Akaroa health centre.<br />
targeted rate over either a<br />
four or 10 year period.<br />
“The Akaroa Health<br />
Centre is an essential community<br />
facility and we support<br />
in principle the council<br />
providing some funding<br />
towards this project, but we<br />
need to have a conversation<br />
with our community<br />
to gauge whether there is<br />
widespread support for a<br />
targeted rate,’’ said board<br />
deputy chairman Jed<br />
O’Donoghue.<br />
“We want to know if the<br />
Home Improvements?<br />
• Architectural Homes<br />
• Hill Projects<br />
• Renovations & Alterations<br />
• Designer Kitchens & Bathrooms<br />
• Light Commercial Construction<br />
• Landscaping Projects<br />
community supports the<br />
idea of a targeted rate and,<br />
if so, what time period they<br />
think it should apply for.<br />
It is important their voice<br />
is heard in this decisionmaking<br />
process.”<br />
The targeted rate would<br />
apply to all properties in<br />
the Akaroa and the bays<br />
area. If the city council<br />
agrees, it is likely to apply<br />
from July.<br />
Work on the new centre<br />
is due to be completed in<br />
June.<br />

Plan to slow<br />
speeding<br />
traffic along<br />
Onuku Rd<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
ONUKU RUNAGA’S battle to<br />
get cars to slow down around its<br />
marae has finally been won.<br />
Concerns have been raised<br />
for a number of years about the<br />
“inappropriate speed” of vehicles<br />
on Onuku Rd, near Akaroa, particularly<br />
when there are events at<br />
the marae.<br />
However, at its meeting on<br />
Monday, the Banks Peninsula<br />
Community Board approved<br />
plans to install two speed bumps.<br />
The road currently has a<br />
100km/h speed limit, but it’s<br />
planned to drop to 40km/h as<br />
part of the Banks Peninsula speed<br />
limit review.<br />
“Whilst the recorded mean<br />
speeds are relatively low<br />
(35.4km/h) and the safe and<br />
appropriate speed for the area<br />
is considered to be 40km/h, the<br />
recorded 85 per cent speed is<br />
43.6km/h, and the maximum<br />
57.1 km/h. Higher vehicle speeds<br />
are inappropriate, in particular<br />
when events or activity are taking<br />
place,” a city council report said.<br />
The installation of the speed<br />
bumps and warning signage will<br />
cost $13,500.<br />

Dalziel questions Gaiety Hall work<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
AKAROA’S GAIETY Hall is<br />
closed for more upgrades.<br />
However, questions are being<br />
raised over why $215,000 in<br />
maintenance work was not<br />
done at the same time as its<br />
earthquake repairs.<br />
The 139-year-old Italianate<br />
theatre has been closed since the<br />
start of the month and will open<br />
in February. It<br />
was reopened<br />
in 2016 after its<br />
initial quake<br />
repairs.<br />
Mayor Lianne<br />
Dalziel said it<br />
felt like “deja vu”<br />
Lianne<br />
Dalziel<br />
and requested<br />
staff investigate<br />
why the work<br />
was not done together.<br />
“’I think we should follow up<br />
on that because it sounds like<br />
deja vu all over again, we’ve<br />
already learned that lesson from<br />
the SCIRT mechanism,” she said.<br />
Ms Dalziel said there should<br />
have been an attempt to<br />
amalgamate the two projects.<br />
City council programme<br />
manager heritage Richie<br />
Moyle said during 2015 and<br />
2016, earthquake repairs and<br />
strengthening was carried out.<br />
This included a significant<br />
amount of maintenance to the<br />
building.<br />
“At completion of the<br />
earthquake work, the heritage<br />
team prepared a future<br />
maintenance report, as we do on<br />
most buildings,” he said.<br />
“This highlighted maintenance<br />
that would be needed over the<br />
next five years. This included<br />
a roof replacement and<br />
weatherboard repairs.”<br />
City council community<br />
facilities specialist Paul<br />
McKeefry said the work was<br />
“routine maintenance” that<br />
was necessary for all heritage<br />
buildings.<br />
“Like all great heritage<br />
buildings, the Gaiety needs a<br />
little extra attention when it<br />
comes to routine maintenance,”<br />

Funding injection<br />
for Coastal Pathway<br />
THE LONG awaited<br />
Coastal Pathway is one<br />
step closer to being<br />
completed with a $200,000<br />
grant from the Rātā<br />
Foundation.<br />
The 6.5km walking and<br />
cycling track, launched<br />
in 2012, will stretch from<br />
Ferrymead to Scarborough<br />
Beach via Redcliffs and<br />
Sumner.<br />
The city council recently<br />
approved the final stages<br />
of the project, which will<br />
connect Shag Rock to the<br />
Sumner Surf Club.<br />
The pathway is expected<br />
to be finished by August.<br />
The grant will go<br />
towards enhancing the<br />
pathway with signage,<br />
seating, picnic tables,<br />
memorial areas and places<br />
for bird-watching.<br />
Coastal Pathway Group<br />
treasurer and Linwood-<br />
Central-Heathcote<br />
community board<br />
member Tim Lindley said<br />
support for the project had<br />
been “outstanding.”<br />
“We’ve had lots of great<br />
feedback from people<br />
MORE FUNDING: The Rata Foundation has<br />
donated $200,000 to the Coastal Pathway.<br />
using the pathway. We<br />
see cyclists, families walking<br />
along it, and parents<br />
teaching their kids how to<br />
ride their bikes on it,” he<br />
said.<br />
“Often, people want<br />
to go out and do things<br />
and they go ‘let’s head to<br />
Hanmer or Castle Hill’ but<br />
they just can’t get there.<br />
This pathway is right on<br />
our doorstep . . . It’s an<br />
amazing asset.”<br />
He said the pathway<br />
would coincide perfectly<br />
with the relocation of<br />
Redcliffs School from its<br />
original site on Main Rd to<br />
Redcliffs Park.<br />
“The road that connects<br />
Sumner to Redcliffs is<br />
a minor arterial, which<br />
means it’s a heavy traffic<br />
route. Having this pathway<br />
means that children can<br />
walk or bike to and from<br />
school safely.”<br />

become more aware of<br />
environmental concerns.<br />
He says the growing<br />
popularity of organic<br />
production in recent years<br />
means that graduates are<br />
now taking what they have<br />
learned into a broader<br />
range of sectors.<br />
“It’s not just about<br />
growing, wholesaling<br />
and retailing food anymore. They’re<br />
going into schools and teaching primary<br />
and secondary schoolers about the<br />
importance of sustainable farming and<br />
gardening and really starting to embed the<br />
philosophy into the education system.”<br />
As far as conventional agricultural<br />
practices are concerned, he says farmers<br />
should be encouraged to optimise their<br />
production, rather than maximise it at the<br />
expense of the environment.<br />
“We need to change our agricultural<br />
paradigm and re-evaluate our priorities.”<br />
Mr Martin says those interested in a<br />
career in organics should enrol in the<br />
one-year Diploma in Agri-Food Production<br />
course, which is open to students either<br />
with or without university entrance.<br />
Introduced last year, it includes Tikanga<br />
and Mahinga Kai components and can<br />
lead to employment in organic primary<br />
production or other sectors related<br />
to organics, especially education and<br />
hospitality.<br />
“The course offers a good grounding<br />
in the principles of organic agriculture,<br />
teaching the philosophies and histories<br />
of organics and providing practical<br />
knowledge of how they are applied,” Mr<br />
Martin says.<br />
Apply now for the Diploma in Organic<br />
Agri-Food Production and begin studying<br />
in February 20<strong>19</strong>.<br />
Grow a career<br />
in organics<br />
Lincoln University’s Diploma in Organic Agri-Food Production will prepare<br />
you for work in the organic sector or your own garden or smallholdings. It’s<br />
a full-time, one-year programme that covers the theory and practice behind<br />
contemporary organic agri-food production.<br />
Join us in February to find out what growing organically on an agricultural<br />
scale really means.<br />

Our People<br />
Filling gaps<br />
Gap Filler has led more than 80 projects to make the most of vacant sites<br />
in the central city, including the Dance-O-Mat, Super Street Arcade and<br />
book exchange. Co-founder Ryan Reynolds talks to Julia Evans about his<br />
earthquake refugee cat Mario and how the initiative was created<br />
Tell me a little bit about yourself?<br />
My partner Coralie and I live in<br />
Lyttelton. She was nine months pregnant<br />
the week before we moved. She’s one<br />
of the Gap Filler founders and ran the<br />
organisation for the first few years. We<br />
lived in Addington after we lost our house<br />
in the February 22, 2011, earthquake. We<br />
have always been central city people, but<br />
when we lost that place, we ended up in<br />
Addington for a number of years. Then we<br />
had a baby on the way and we decided to<br />
move to Lyttelton. I grew up in the United<br />
States so all of my family are overseas and<br />
Coralie grew up in Australia, so all her<br />
family is overseas, and Lyttelton is just<br />
the sort of place with a reputation that<br />
preceded it where people look out for one<br />
another. Now we have a three-year-old<br />
daughter and a 14-month-old son.<br />
I hear you’ve adopted an earthquake<br />
refugee? How did your cat Mario come<br />
into the family?<br />
When the house we were living in on<br />
Worcester St, a couple of blocks from<br />
the Cathedral, fell over it was inside the<br />
cordon. A couple of weeks later, we tried to<br />
salvage some of our stuff out of the house,<br />
possibly illegally. He’d been hanging<br />
around in our backyard for a couple<br />
of months before the earthquake. We<br />
wondered if he was one of the neighbours’<br />
cats. When we went back to the wrecked<br />
house, he was there hanging around the<br />
rubble, all covered in dust and it looked<br />
like he hadn’t eaten in a couple of weeks.<br />
We were staying with some friends who<br />
had a small townhouse in Spreydon, so we<br />
turned up with this cat. We said: “Sorry, I<br />
know we don’t have much room, but hope<br />
you don’t mind we’ve got a cat?”<br />
How did you go from electrical<br />
engineering to theatre and film?<br />
Electrical engineering, as it was taught<br />
at my university in the US, was actually<br />
a very creative discipline. It wasn’t a<br />
word that they ever used at all, but it<br />
was a lot of small group work in the lab,<br />
dreaming up things you might be able<br />
to design and build and testing things<br />
out on paper, then test circuits and when<br />
you hit something that seems workable,<br />
you take it out into the real world. So I<br />
got a lot of opportunities as a student to<br />
dream of crazy things and work with a few<br />
friends from start to finish on a project.<br />
I loved that. Then towards the end of<br />
the degree, myself and all of my friends<br />
were being recruited by giant multinational<br />
corporations, which have really<br />
strong recruitment programmes. I was<br />
going to be an aerospace manufacturer,<br />
which made military planes, and I had<br />
other friends ending up with really<br />
huge companies. I moved to Texas for<br />
an internship experience and was at a<br />
facility where they built military planes.<br />
There were more than 30,000 people that<br />
worked there. That kind of romantic thing<br />
of working in small groups, thinking<br />
up projects and seeing them through<br />
from start to finish is just not the truth<br />
of working in a company like that. I was<br />
young and stupid and freaked out, so I<br />
decided to run about as far away as you<br />
could and that was to New Zealand.<br />
So you came to Canterbury University?<br />
I ended up doing an exchange in the<br />
final year of my engineering degree.<br />
I picked New Zealand because it was<br />
far away and no one else was coming<br />
here. So Canterbury University was also<br />
an engineering university. In the US<br />
tertiary system, everyone needs to get<br />
some arts points, even if you’re getting<br />
an engineering degree. When I got to<br />
Canterbury, I didn’t need any more<br />
engineering credits, so I got involved in<br />
various arts and humanities. The theatre<br />
and film studies programme was where I<br />
landed, they offered me a post-graduate<br />
position and I never looked back.<br />
What’s your favourite film?<br />
Probably Fellini’s 8½ still, although I<br />
haven’t seen it in a long while.<br />
I bet you get really sick of people<br />
mentioning a certain Hollywood movie<br />
star you share a name with?<br />
Burt Reynolds! Yeah, it’s a shame about<br />
him dying and all, that’s who you mean,<br />
right? Okay, he’s the bane of my existence.<br />
How did Gap Filler come about?<br />
It was started up after the September 4,<br />
2010, earthquake. Coralie was working<br />
at the Arts Centre, running the artistin-residence<br />
programme, and the Arts<br />
Centre made a really quick decision when<br />
the buildings were badly-damaged to halt<br />
all of their public programmes, so she<br />
was made redundant almost immediately.<br />
I was employed at the university at that<br />
time, so we were in a really fortunate<br />
position to say, don’t rush into anything,<br />
take a bit of time and see what happens. I<br />
think it was really Coralie wandering the<br />
city and seeing gap sites where buildings<br />
had been demolished and who knows<br />
how long they would be empty for. They<br />
were all of our social gathering spaces,<br />
the cheap and cheerful restaurants, the<br />
amateur dance studios in the upper<br />
floors, the cultural life of the city had<br />
really been damaged more than the<br />
infrastructure in that September quake.<br />
So all credit to Coralie for hatching the<br />
idea for what became Gap Filler. We lost<br />
our house in the February quake and just<br />
about everything we owned. The scale of<br />
the disaster was so big. We put out the<br />
message on Facebook – that’s the end of<br />
our Gap Filler experiment. But a bunch of<br />
people got in touch saying, no, all of the<br />
cinemas in the central city are closed, so<br />
you need to do an outdoor cinema project,<br />
the libraries are closed, so let’s do some<br />
sort of book project. For the next year<br />
and a half, everything we did was pretty<br />
much someone else’s idea that we helped<br />
facilitate.<br />
What’s your favourite Gap Filler<br />
project so far?<br />
They’re all so different. I really love the<br />
Super Street Arcade project, the giant<br />
arcade game on Tuam St. That’s been there<br />
for two years, it still gets 300 games played<br />
every day. Hopefully we might have one<br />
going in in Melbourne early-mid next<br />
year and I think that would get a lot of<br />
attention. So that’s definitely a favourite.<br />
Every time I cycle past and see the look on<br />
people’s faces discovering it for the first<br />
time it is pretty priceless.

February<br />
start for<br />
goods shed<br />
restoration<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
THE $250,000 restoration of<br />
the Little River Goods Shed is<br />
expected to start in February.<br />
City council capital delivery<br />
community manager Darren<br />
Moses said work on the heritage<br />
building, dating back to 1886,<br />
would take seven months to<br />
complete.<br />
It includes replacing the foundations,<br />
as well as earthquake<br />
strengthening and painting.<br />
However, before work begins<br />
there would be an archaeological<br />
investigation held at the site.<br />
“Archaeological monitoring<br />
with take place at the beginning<br />
of the site’s redevelopment and<br />
continue until excavation is<br />
complete. A date for this has not<br />
been set,” Mr Moses said.<br />
Mr Moses said a building consent<br />
exemption was applied for<br />
and granted, which had saved on<br />
the cost.<br />
The Little River Railway Station<br />
and Goods Shed is one of<br />
the oldest surviving stations<br />
around the country.<br />
It was part of the Lincoln-<br />
Little River railway.<br />
Showcasing rare marine life<br />
THIRTY MINUTES of<br />
highlights from 75 hours of<br />
undersea footage showcasing<br />
some rarely recorded fish<br />
species is now playing in Akaroa<br />
Museum.<br />
The footage was recorded by<br />
the Department of Conservation<br />
in February last year, using<br />
baited underwater video<br />
cameras while monitoring fish<br />
populations in and around<br />
Banks Peninsula’s two marine<br />
reserves – Akaroa and Pohatu.<br />
It was the first time the baited<br />
underwater video camera<br />
method had been used on the<br />
east coast of the South Island.<br />
Museum director Lynda<br />
Wallace said the museum is<br />
excited to share some of Banks<br />
Peninsula’s marine life with<br />
locals and tourists.<br />
“The footage will play<br />
continuously on a big screen in<br />
a dedicated space, the museum’s<br />
green room, allowing visitors an<br />
immersive and quiet experience,”<br />
she said.<br />
“The history of Akaroa’s<br />
harbour-based industries is<br />
told in the neighbouring gallery<br />
and the underwater footage is<br />
a perfect complement to those<br />
stories.”<br />
DOC marine ranger Tom<br />
MacTavish said the research<br />
team were originally hoping to<br />
develop a better understanding<br />
as to how the two marine<br />
reserves were influencing fin-fish<br />
populations.<br />
“Starting purely as a science<br />
project, we soon saw the diversity<br />
of marine species visiting our<br />
baited cameras and realised<br />
this footage offered a unique<br />
opportunity to peek into Banks<br />
Peninsula’s undersea life and<br />
connect Canterbury people with<br />
this rarely-frequented world<br />
right on their doorstep,” Mr<br />

MacTavish said.<br />
Due to the success of the<br />
first years research, further<br />
monitoring work is taking<br />
place over the summer with<br />
researchers starting work this<br />
week.

Relief following mail theft arrest<br />
• By Anan Zaki<br />
DIAMOND <strong>Harbour</strong> residents<br />
are relieved after an arrest over a<br />
string of mail thefts.<br />
A 36-year-old woman was<br />
arrested by police for the thefts<br />
on Monday.<br />
Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> chief fire<br />
officer and former policeman<br />
of 34 years,<br />
Bob Palmer<br />
welcomed the<br />
news of the<br />
arrest.<br />
“It’s certainly<br />
taught people<br />
to keep an eye<br />
Franco Lovrich<br />
out for things,<br />
which is always<br />
a good thing,”<br />
Mr Palmer said.<br />
Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
Neighbourhood Support deputy<br />
coordinator Emma Gallagher<br />
said residents should remain<br />
vigilant in spite of the arrest.<br />
“It has put everybody on<br />
edge, it’s a bit of a close knit<br />
community so it makes you feel<br />
a bit vulnerable when you hear<br />
stuff like that going on,” Ms<br />
Gallagher said.<br />
Police said the woman allegedly<br />
stole mail over several months<br />
and used stolen credit cards from<br />
the mail to purchase groceries,<br />
cigarettes, alcohol and petrol.<br />
She was brought into custody<br />
after a search warrant was<br />
carried out in Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
on Monday morning, Lyttelton<br />
Police Sergeant Lovrich said.<br />
More than 70 pieces of stolen<br />
mail were recovered from the<br />
search warrant.<br />
The woman is facing charges<br />
relating to fraud, receiving stolen<br />
property and drugs and will<br />
appear at district court on Friday.<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News reported<br />
earlier this month that Diamond<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> was experiencing its<br />
worst crime wave in the last 20<br />
years.<br />
Sergeant Lovrich said most of<br />
the woman’s alleged offending is<br />
believed to have taken place in<br />
Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />
However, he said there was<br />
some mail from Allandale,<br />
Charteris <strong>Bay</strong> and Governors<br />
<strong>Bay</strong>.<br />
He said there was a lot of<br />
publicity in the lead up to the<br />
arrest and police received more<br />
reports recently.<br />
It was unclear if the woman had<br />
CRIME WAVE:<br />
Diamond<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong><br />
residents are<br />
relieved after<br />
a woman<br />
was arrested<br />
following a string<br />
of mail thefts.<br />
an accomplice and it is too early<br />
to determine a motive, he said.<br />
“It should be a relief to the<br />
community this time of year . . .<br />
knowing that someone has been<br />
charged with the offending,”<br />
Sergeant Lovrich said.<br />
Police will be returning the<br />
recovered mail to its owners over<br />
the coming weeks.<br />
The arrest was unrelated to the<br />
theft of a $1500 boat trailer and<br />
it was too early to determine a<br />
motive for the alleged mail thefts,<br />

Trial to<br />
stop drain<br />
flooding<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
A NEW flood prevention<br />
measure may be trialled in<br />
Sumner to stop a drain from<br />
filling up when it rains.<br />
The city council is looking at<br />
placing a temporary groyne at<br />
a Burgess St outlet to prevent<br />
flooding on the street during<br />
heavy rain. The temporary<br />
groyne would aim to artificially<br />
lower sand levels on one side<br />
which, if placed next to an<br />
outlet, may help clear it.<br />
But city council land drainage<br />
manager Keith Davison said<br />
while staff are looking at the<br />
trial on Burgess St, there is no<br />
firm plan at this stage.<br />
If the trial is successful,<br />
the city council may look at<br />
expanding it to the Southshore<br />
estuary.<br />
Questions have been raised<br />
over if the trial was successful in<br />
Sumner, whether it would have<br />
the same outcome at the estuary.<br />
The report said while natural<br />
tidal effects are expected at<br />
Sumner, there is no certainty it<br />
will work at drain outlets in the<br />
estuary.<br />
Thank you for your support over the year!<br />

A ‘gold mine’<br />
of footwear<br />
for all ages<br />
The Footwear Factory in Garlands<br />
Road Woolston has been a part of the<br />
Christchurch retail scene for more than a<br />
quarter of a century.<br />
Over that time thousands of people have<br />
flocked to the store to find bargains and<br />
good deals in quality footwear, ranging from<br />
children’s shoes, sandals and school shoes<br />
to men’s and women’s fashion and causal<br />
shoes, outdoor and sports shoes, bowls<br />
shoes, slippers, and safety footwear for the<br />
workplace.<br />
Launched in a small shop in Papanui, the<br />
business later operated in Riccarton for 12<br />
years before moving to Garlands Rd 15 years<br />
ago.<br />
Owned by Russ and Jude Day, there you<br />
will find shelves lined with footwear in a<br />
huge variety of styles and colours for men,<br />
women and children – a ‘gold mine’ for shoeseeking<br />
shoppers.<br />
The footwear is brought in from all over<br />
the world, as well as coming from New<br />
Zealand manufacturers, and includes ends of<br />
lines and other well-priced items.<br />
Four main brands are carried – the New<br />
Zealand made McKinlays range of children’s<br />
school shoes, as well as men’s and women’s<br />
styles. The well-known Hi-Tec range of<br />
outdoor footwear and tramping, New<br />
Balance sports shoes and a range of Keens<br />
sandals and outdoor footwear. These known<br />
brands cover all ages.<br />
New styles arrive almost every day, so<br />
there are always more to try on, while Russell<br />
and his second-in-charge Karen are happy to<br />
advise on styles and sizing.<br />
Located on a high-profile site at 47C<br />
Garlands Rd, (next to Flags Tyre’s), the<br />
Footwear Factory is easy to find, and there is<br />
off-street parking available.<br />
They are open seven days a week –<br />
9.30am- 5pm Monday to Friday, 10am-2pm<br />
Saturday and 11am-3pm Sunday. Phone<br />

Godley House<br />
site could<br />
be reclassified<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
THE SITE of Diamond<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong>’s Godley House may<br />
need reclassification<br />
The city council’s parks<br />
team is looking at the legal<br />
classification of the site, which<br />
is currently under the recreation<br />
reserve classification.<br />
“The Reserves Act<br />
classification allows for public<br />
recreation activity and, where<br />
they support the main activity,<br />
commercial facilities such as<br />
cafes,” city council head of<br />
parks Andrew Rutledge said.<br />
However, it does not allow for<br />
many of the developments the<br />
community wants to see.<br />
The community has been<br />
proposing uses for the site<br />
since 2012. They have included<br />
a permanent cafe building<br />
along with an indoor/outdoor<br />
performance space and shifting<br />
the library to the site from its<br />
current location beneath the<br />
community hall.<br />
City council staff will brief the<br />
Banks Peninsula Community<br />
Board on February 4 about<br />
options for the site.<br />
Staff will also propose how to<br />
engage with the community to<br />
determine if a reclassification is<br />
supported.<br />
Plenty of value in a power nap<br />
JUST UNDER a month in to my<br />
stay-at-home-dad career and I<br />
have a new appreciation for two<br />
things – parenting full-time is way<br />
more tiring than I thought and I<br />
need more hands.<br />
Mostly for Vittoria’s Saturday<br />
swimming lessons.<br />
She’s amazingly confident in the<br />
water and it’s awesome watching<br />
her confidence grow.<br />
Before I became a full-time<br />
parent it was our main daddy/<br />
daughter time, so it’s special for<br />
us. However, as she’s got more<br />
mobile, showering and changing<br />
has become a challenge.<br />
Hence the need for more hands.<br />
If my wife Laura is free, she’ll<br />
tag along to watch the wee mermaid<br />
in action.<br />
Having her there is a big help<br />
as she can dress Vittoria while I<br />
shower and change.<br />
On Saturday morning, I decided<br />
to let Laura sleep in after a<br />
busy work week. But, boy, did I<br />
miss her at change time.<br />
Wee one was already yawning<br />
mid-way through so by the time<br />
we got to the shower she was<br />
grumpy-as and letting everyone<br />
know about it.<br />
The poor lass was just ready for<br />
her bottle and a nap and here’s me<br />
washing her, drying her, dressing<br />
her and then trying to do the<br />
same for myself? What a monster.<br />
To save extending the meltdown,<br />
and bring her back to her<br />
smiling self, I just went home in<br />
my wet togs, wrapped in a towel.<br />
It might not seem like<br />
an embarrassing situation,<br />
but try it out while you’re<br />
half-naked, soaking wet and<br />
VITTORIA<br />
& Matt<br />
in front of much fitter looking<br />
strangers.<br />
As for my fatigue levels, I was<br />
never one for a sneaky workplace<br />
nap and after work I used to stay<br />
up to make the most of my home<br />
time. Now I’ll often nap during<br />
the day and still be yawning for<br />

can’t be more draining than writing<br />

swimming lesson, we went to one<br />

By the end of that, I actually<br />

Horror of discovering Scott’s body<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
MORE HAS been revealed about<br />
an Antarctic expedition which<br />
ended in Lyttelton in February<br />
<strong>19</strong>13.<br />
Canterbury Museum has<br />
acquired two diaries written by<br />
Captain Robert Falcon Scott’s<br />
Norwegian skiing expert,<br />
Tryggve Gran.<br />
One diary, written in Norwegian,<br />
is an account of the<br />
expedition from November 7,<br />
<strong>19</strong>11 to February 25, <strong>19</strong>12.<br />
The other, in Gran’s imperfect<br />
English, covers the period until<br />
the expedition returned to<br />
Lyttelton, in February <strong>19</strong>13.<br />
In the second diary, Gran describes<br />
his horror at finding the<br />
frozen bodies of Scott, Edward<br />
Wilson and Henry “Birdie” Bowers<br />
on November 12, <strong>19</strong>12, more<br />
than seven months after they<br />
died returning from the South<br />
Pole.<br />
“I will never forget it so long I<br />
live, a horrible nightmare could<br />
not have shown more horror than<br />
this,” Gran wrote.<br />
“The frost had made the skin<br />
yellow and transparent and I’ve<br />
never seen anything worse in my<br />
life. The Owner (the men’s name<br />
for Scott) seems to have struggled<br />
hard in the moment of death,<br />
while the two others seem to have<br />
gone off in a kind of sleep,” he<br />
wrote.<br />
HISTORY: Canterbury Museum has acquired two diaries written by Captain Robert Falcon Scott’s Norwegian skiing expert<br />
Tryggve Gran which reveal his horror at finding Scott’s body.<br />
Scott’s group had set out in<br />
October <strong>19</strong>11 to become the first<br />
people to reach the South Pole.<br />
They made it to the pole on<br />
January 17, <strong>19</strong>12, but discovered<br />
the Norwegian explorer Roald<br />
Amundsen had beaten them<br />
there by 34 days.<br />
On their return journey they<br />
were plagued by severe weather,<br />
which slowed their progress and<br />
caused their food and fuel to run<br />
out.<br />
Gran, who Scott had employed<br />
to teach the other expedition<br />
members to ski, was one of a<br />
group of 11 who set out to find<br />
the party including Scott, after<br />
they failed to return from their<br />
journey to the pole.<br />
The last entry in Scott’s own<br />
journal, which Gran read after<br />
discovering the bodies, is dated<br />
March 29, <strong>19</strong>12.<br />
The museum plans to scan and<br />
digitise the English-language<br />
diary early next year, when the<br />
diaries arrive from London<br />
where they were purchased.<br />
The digital version will be<br />
available on the museum’s<br />
website.<br />

Sprinkler torpedoes one-day final<br />
Match<br />
now in<br />
January<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
HEATHCOTE’S one-day<br />
championship final against<br />
Merivale Papanui was rained off<br />
on Sunday.<br />
But no rain fell at Heathcote<br />
Domain.<br />
A mistake with the ground’s<br />
sprinkler system meant the<br />
irrigation came on in the early<br />
hours of Sunday morning, leaving<br />
the ground drenched and<br />
unplayable when the game was<br />
due to begin at 10.30am.<br />
“The council went in and did<br />
some work on Friday. They went<br />
into our toby box and changed<br />
the settings on our sprinklers, so<br />
on Sunday morning they went<br />
on when everyone was tucked up<br />
in bed,” said club captain David<br />
Stack.<br />
When both teams arrived at<br />
Heathcote Domain it quickly<br />
became apparent that no cricket<br />
was going to be played on the<br />
drenched field.<br />
“We tried for a few hours to get<br />
the pitch up to scratch but it was<br />
just way too wet, there were still<br />
SATURDAY SESSION: While the one-day match was called off, Heathcote completed a win in<br />
the two-day competition on Saturday thanks to an 11 wicket haul from Marek Bungard.<br />
puddles out there,” said Stack.<br />
With Heathcote wanting<br />
to play the final at home and<br />
Merivale Papanui wanting to<br />
move the match to their ground,<br />
a decision was finally made to replay<br />
the match at Heathcote at a<br />
date to be confirmed in January.<br />
After being understandably<br />
sombre with the situation the<br />
mood of both sides was lifted<br />
when they headed to the Valley<br />
Inn Tavern for some very premature<br />
post-match drinks at noon.<br />
“We wanted to do a boat race<br />
at the pub to decide the title<br />
but the Papanui Merivale guys<br />
weren’t so keen,” said Heathcote<br />
bowler Ben Cochrane.<br />
The Heathcote team then spent<br />
their afternoon playing backyard<br />
cricket before returning to the<br />
Valley Inn for dinner.<br />
Surprisingly it’s the first time<br />
the sprinklers at Heathcote have<br />
gone off the morning of a major<br />
game. Five years ago a second<br />
grade twenty20 final at Heathcote<br />
was postponed due to an<br />
ill-timed overnight sprinkling.<br />
Sunday’s sprinkler event<br />
capped a weekend where not<br />
a lot of cricket was played for<br />
SPORTS<br />
the premier team. On Saturday<br />
Heathcote bowled East Christchurch<br />
Shirley out for just 30 to<br />
complete an innings and 106<br />
runs victory after Heathcote<br />
scored 245 and bowled East<br />
Shirley out for 106 in the first innings<br />
the previous weekend.<br />
Pace bowler Marek Bungard<br />
added to his 7-22 picked up in<br />
the first innings with 4-10 on<br />
Saturday to complete a 10 wicket<br />
bag and finish with figures of<br />
11-32.<br />
There was also a win in the<br />
two-day championship for<br />
Sumner. They returned to Edgar<br />
MacIntosh Park for the second<br />
day in their match against<br />
Merivale Papanui.<br />
Starting the day with a six run<br />
lead Sumner’s opening bowling<br />
duo of Nawid Mohamady and<br />
Dean Smith picked up three<br />
early wickets to have Merivale<br />
Papanui under pressure early at<br />
42/3. Skipper Dan Vann turned<br />
the game in Sumner’s favour by<br />
taking six wickets for just six<br />
runs.<br />
Merivale lost seven wickets for<br />
just 18 runs to reach a total of 61.<br />
Sumner chased down the<br />
target of 55 but did wobble at<br />
times losing four wickets in the<br />
process.<br />
Brothers top Scarborough Xmas triathlon<br />
THE ANNUAL Christmas<br />
Cracker triathlon and duathlon<br />
took place at in Sumner at the<br />
weekend with 184 athletes of<br />
all ages lining up at the start on<br />
Scarborough Beach.<br />
The sprint triathlon featured<br />
two brothers at the top of the<br />
podium.<br />
The men’s event was won by<br />
Zach Taylor (left) in 57mins<br />
45secs.<br />
He finished just over two<br />
minutes ahead of his younger<br />
brother Will.<br />
The women’s sprint was won by<br />
pro triathlete Gina Crawford in<br />
1hr 8mins 28secs.<br />
She finished ahead of Helen<br />
Wright in second and Marie Hill<br />
in third.<br />
The duathlon title went to Isla<br />
Smith who won both the overall<br />
and women’s race in 1hr 3mins<br />
35secs.<br />
More than three minutes ahead<br />
of male winner Jonny Limmer.<br />
The boys youth triathlon<br />
title was won by Art Aiken<br />
while the girls title went to Lily<br />
Greenwood.<br />
The event also hoisted a<br />
children’s aquathon which was<br />
won by Benjamin Crawford in<br />
the boys and Emily Scales in the<br />
girls race.<br />

you can genuinely believe there<br />

The feel of turbo boost is<br />
strong and drive through<br />
an eight-speed automatic<br />
transmission is smooth and<br />
controlled. There are also four<br />
drive modes, from sport to<br />
economy, which you can utilise<br />
depending on each journey.<br />
The XC40 drives quietly and<br />
smoothly, and that is a prerequisite<br />
of all cars from the<br />
Volvo stable. I took the test car<br />
on a loop from Motukarara<br />
to Hororata, there are several<br />
tricky corners on that route yet<br />
the XC40 is comfortable in a<br />
corner and handles with all of the<br />
characteristics of the modern-day<br />
SUV.<br />
The XC40 is relatively new to<br />
the New Zealand market and<br />
joins a high-profile SUV line-up<br />
from the Volvo stable.<br />
I can easily see why it has been<br />
seen favourably by the critics,<br />
and that exposure trickles down<br />
to the choices buyers make when<br />
they are looking for a purchase.<br />
If I was an SUV buyer then the<br />
XC40 would certainly be near the<br />
top of my list.

functional living arrangements that will<br />
cater to fantastic dining and entertaining<br />
and family lifestyles.<br />
The view from the kitchen and breakfast<br />
bar is right along Pegasus <strong>Bay</strong>. The kitchen<br />
is open plan with the living area and<br />
features built in furniture and a drop down<br />
movie screen. Large sliding doors offers<br />
outdoor flow to decks on both sides. A<br />
separate formal lounge adds convenience<br />
for all occasions and opens onto the<br />
extensive patio and sheltered alfresco<br />
entertaining terrace.<br />
When Winter finds its way back around,<br />
comfort is easily achieved thanks to a gas<br />
fire, heatpump, under floor heating and<br />
double glazing.<br />
There’s 2 bedrooms upstairs and 2<br />
downstairs, the master bedroom is<br />
generous in size and is fully advantaged by<br />
a walk-in-robe and an upmarket ensuite<br />
including twin basins, separate shower<br />
and a bath. You will also enjoy access to<br />
a front balcony, and a 2nd side patio with<br />
a spa pool and seating area to soak up the<br />
expansive views.<br />
The setting is amazing on its sprawling<br />
1701sqm of grounds that have been<br />
extensively landscaped with hardy<br />
plantings for minimal upkeep while<br />
offering the best of privacy. The varied<br />
outdoor living areas really allow for<br />
making the most of the warm summer<br />
nights.<br />
Seriously good real estate and too<br />
special not to experience in person. Make<br />
no mistake, very motivated owners are<br />
demanding a sale as they are relocating<br />
back into the city for family commitments.<br />

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand<br />
has been a proached in a bid to<br />
fina ly repair the potholes in New<br />
Brighton’s Hawke St car park.<br />
Coastal-Burw od Ward city<br />
counci lor David East wants<br />
WorkSafe to pre sure the car<br />
park’s private owners into<br />
repairing the potholes which are<br />
a “trip and vehicle” hazard.<br />
WorkSafe chief inspector<br />
a se sment southern Da ren<br />
Handforth said it may be able to<br />
take action under the Health and<br />
Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a<br />
person conducting a busine s or<br />
undertaking.”<br />
Mr Handforth said WorkSafe<br />
is aware of the concerns raised by<br />
Cr East abou the car park.<br />
“WorkSafe has completed<br />
an a se sment visi to the site<br />
and is engaging with the owner<br />
to advise them that it is their<br />
responsibility to manage their<br />
risks a propriately.”<br />
Different parts of the car park<br />
are owned by various people<br />
and the Coastal-Burw od<br />
Community Board recently<br />
wrote to them about its concerns<br />
around health and safety.<br />
Cr East said the bi gest i sue<br />
in the past has b en ge ting in<br />
touch with the landlords and<br />
owners and ge ting them to<br />
agr e to anything. “The board<br />
a preciates that multi-ownership<br />
of the parking space may present<br />
a difficulty in co-ordinating<br />
repair/resurfacing but felt obliged<br />
to pa s these concerns onto you,”<br />
said the le ter.<br />
One reply has b en received so<br />
far from an owner who is wi ling<br />
to discu s the i sue. However, a l<br />
the owners would have to agree<br />
to undertake work.<br />
Cr East said there had b en<br />
a “number of incidences” in<br />
the car park of people injuring<br />
themselves which had gone<br />
unreported.<br />
“I’ve always though that it<br />
has b en quite amazing that we<br />
haven’t had any serious a cidents<br />
or senior citizens perhaps<br />
tri ping in those potholes and<br />
doing themselve some damage.”<br />
He is confiden the new<br />
a proach wi l bring results.<br />
“I think the WorkSafe<br />
involvement may prove to be the<br />
lever that we are l oking for.”<br />
New bid to fix potholes<br />
Action looms<br />
on Hawke St<br />

THE PAPANUI-I nes<br />
Community Board has taken the<br />
rare step of starting a petition<br />
to figh the city council over<br />
funding.<br />
Signatures are being co lected<br />
in a bid to get funding for a community<br />
facility in Shirley.<br />
It comes after the city council<br />
removed funding for the centre<br />
pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the<br />
intersection with Hi ls Rd. This<br />
was the site of the former community<br />
centre, which was badly<br />
damaged in the February 2,<br />
20 1, earthquake.<br />
The removal o funding<br />
prompted community board<br />
chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten<br />
to stan down, citing it as her “die<br />
in the ditch” project.<br />
Ms Jone said the board’s role<br />
is to represen the community,<br />
and by gathering signatures from<br />
residents, it was fulfi ling that<br />
role.<br />
“One of the roles of a community<br />
board is to represent and act<br />
as advocate for the interests of its<br />
community and this is what we<br />
are doing. The LTP and a nual<br />
plans are a l about lo bying the<br />

Cave Rock<br />
Apartments’<br />
owners<br />
expect EQC<br />
sign-off<br />
this week<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave<br />
Rock Apartments ar expecting the<br />
Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off<br />
on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.<br />
Body corporate chairman Mike<br />
White said the group had gone<br />
into mediation with IAG and EQC<br />
on February 20, and signed off<br />
on a deal with IAG on February<br />
2 – coincidenta ly seven years<br />
to the day after the February 2,<br />
20 1, earthquake. However, they<br />
are waiting for EQC to sign the<br />
agr ement.<br />
“Given that EQC actua ly drafted<br />
the agr ement, there’ l be no<br />
problem with them doing that.”<br />
The apartment suffere damage<br />
in the February and June, 20 1,<br />
earthquakes and were demolished in<br />
late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the<br />
difference betw en indemnity value,<br />
$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,<br />
$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body<br />
corporate.<br />
The mediation agr ement<br />
prevented Mr White from disclosing<br />
the se tlement amount, but he said it<br />
involved the two parties paying “a bit<br />
more money than they’d wanted to<br />
earlier.”<br />

A WOOLSTON butcher proved<br />
to be a cut above the rest in an<br />
international competition.<br />
New World Fe ry Rd butcher<br />
Jeremy Garth and his team, the<br />
Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently<br />
came second a the World<br />
Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern<br />
Ireland.<br />
It was the firs time Mr Garth<br />
had competed in the cha lenge<br />
and he was “rea ly proud” of<br />
how the team performed.<br />
“We produced some top quality<br />
products and came away<br />
with a g od result so we’re very<br />
ha py,” he said.<br />
The preparation for this year’s<br />
World Butchers’ Cha lenge was<br />
intense as the team members<br />
met in Auckland every two<br />
months for lengthy w ekend<br />
practices.<br />
Mr Garth, who has b en a<br />
butcher for 14 years, said the<br />
competition brought back his<br />
pa sion for the job.<br />
“Doing a l thi stuff and<br />
m eting new people, s eing new<br />
ideas, it just brings that flair<br />
back for you,” he said.<br />
Mr Garth hopes t own a<br />
butcher shop of his own someday<br />
but says for now he wi l focus<br />
on ge ting mor experience<br />
and on the 2020 cha lenge.<br />
“In two years’ time, we’ l be<br />
going back to try and win the<br />
title,” he said.<br />

A CRACKDOWN on mobile<br />
traders acro s the districts could<br />
be l oming.<br />
However, the public has li tle<br />
interest in having input into the<br />
issue.<br />
Only eight submi sions were<br />
received for a potential bylaw<br />
aimed at regulating commercial<br />
activities in public places.<br />
The district council wi l be<br />
holding a hearing for the Public<br />
Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial<br />
Activities and Events in<br />
Public Places.<br />
A hearing i scheduled to be<br />
held on Thursday.<br />
The bylaw comes as an increasing<br />
number of mobile traders<br />
are s eking t operate in Selwyn,<br />
especia ly during the summer<br />
months.<br />
In the past year, the district<br />
council has received five inquiries<br />
about se ting up a mobile busine s<br />
on private or public land.<br />
A report said there are two<br />
str et operators in Darfield, a<br />
coff e cart is parked beside the<br />
railway in Ro leston, and a pi za<br />
cart visits Lincoln weekly betw en<br />
September-May along with a Thai<br />
f od truck.<br />

Pupils learn about role of war horses<br />
GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils<br />
have taken a step back in time,<br />
s eing first hand what men and<br />
horses l oked like during war.<br />
The New Zealand Mounted<br />
Rifles Charitable Trust president<br />
Mark A pleton and member<br />
Mike Donaldson t ok their<br />
horses to the sch ol on Monday,<br />
in a bid to educate pupils on the<br />
sacrifice their ancestors made in<br />
World War 1 and World War 2.<br />
Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson<br />
a rived a the sch ol dre sed<br />
in World War 1 uniforms while<br />
their horses Tommy and Kruze<br />
wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated<br />
to the trust.<br />
The presentation is a prelude<br />
to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve<br />
Management Commi t e’s<br />
upcoming Anzac Day service.<br />
As a tribute to those who<br />
served, members of the trust wi l<br />
ride horseback to the service.<br />
Mr A pleton said it was<br />
important children were<br />
educated on what soldiers<br />
wen through during World<br />
War 1 and World War 2.<br />
But he said the presentation<br />
didn’t go into t o much detail<br />
and was more of a “show and<br />
te l” to make them aware of what<br />
the soldiers l oked like.<br />
Children were shown the type<br />
of kits horses were required to<br />
wear in the war.<br />

AN U PER Ri carton butcher<br />
has proven himself to be a cut<br />
above his Au sie rivals at an<br />
international competition.<br />
Elite Meats owner Corey<br />
Winder was named in the a l<br />
star team a the World Butchers’<br />
Cha lenge in Northern Ireland.<br />
Mr Winder and his team, the<br />
Pure South Sharp Blacks, which<br />
includes W olston butcher<br />
Jeremy Garth, finished second<br />
in the competition.<br />
He said the cha lenge started<br />
as a “transtasman test match”<br />
seven years ago.<br />
The preparation for this<br />
year’s World Butchers’ Challenge<br />
was intense as the team<br />
members met in Auckland<br />
every two months for lengthy<br />
w ekend practices. Mr Winder<br />
said coming second against 1<br />
other countries was a “fantastic”<br />
result.<br />
“To get second behind Ireland<br />
was a huge achievement and to<br />
be ahead of Australia is an<br />
even bi ger thing for us,” he<br />
said.<br />
But Mr Winder admires the<br />
Australian team.<br />
“Those guys over there<br />
[Australia] are on top of their<br />
game, they do a g od job,” he<br />
said.<br />
“And it just showcases that<br />
New Zealand has got some<br />
of the best butchers in the<br />
world,” he said.<br />
Mr Winder has b en a butcher<br />
since the age of <strong>19</strong>.<br />

THE HALSWE L-Hornby-<br />
Ri carton Community Board<br />
has b en given the gr en ligh to<br />
o pose the pla ned qua ry near<br />
Templeton.<br />
Mayor Lia ne Dalziel told the<br />
board on Thursday it had the okay<br />
from the city council to make a<br />
submi sion if Fulton Hogan a plies<br />
for a resource consen to create a<br />
qua ry.<br />
Board chairman Mike Mora<br />
told Western News the submi sion<br />
would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s<br />
plan.<br />
“You can just about guarant e<br />
it . because we [the community<br />
board] don’t believe qua ries<br />
should be so close to residential<br />
areas,” he said.<br />
Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if<br />
the city council would endorse the<br />
board’ submi sion.<br />
“I’d like to think so because the<br />
city council has had their eyes<br />
open as we l ove recent years over<br />
the crysta line silica risk,” he said.<br />
Mr Mora said the community<br />
board wi l be “representing and<br />
advocating” for the Templeton<br />
community.<br />
