District Plan conflict close to end<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
UNDER FIRE Darrell Latham,<br />
two community board members<br />
and a city councillor appear to be<br />
close to resolving their conflict<br />
with the city council over District<br />
Plan flooding issues.<br />
The Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />
Community Board member,<br />
as well as Coastal Ward city<br />
councillor David East, Coastal-<br />
Burwood Community<br />
Board chairwoman Kim<br />
Money and deputy chairman<br />
Tim Sintes, have been<br />
facing code of conduct<br />
complaints since September<br />
over an allegation<br />
staff had tampered with the<br />
District Plan.<br />
Mr Sintes said the group would<br />
be making an announcement in<br />
the next couple of weeks.<br />
“We’re going to do a<br />
release as a group when<br />
David East comes back<br />
from holiday,” he said.<br />
Mr Sintes said he<br />
would be pleased to have<br />
the issue wrapped up.<br />
Dr Latham also said<br />
the four would make a statement<br />
Darrell<br />
Latham<br />
soon. “We’ll be in the perfect<br />
position to do that,” he said.<br />
However, yesterday city council<br />
chief executive Karleen Edwards<br />
said, as the process is still under<br />
way, she has no comment. The<br />
root of the conflict was a threeline<br />
clause omitted from the city’s<br />
new District Plan, which came<br />
into effect in December 2017.<br />
The clause would give<br />
leeway to people in specific<br />
coastal areas, deemed at risk of<br />
flooding, to build and extend<br />
homes.<br />
Greater Christchurch<br />
Regeneration Minister<br />
Megan Woods approved city<br />
council’s proposal to amend<br />
the Christchurch District Plan<br />
under section 71 of the Greater<br />
Christchurch Regeneration Act.<br />

Ava (right) lost to Australian-based<br />

IT LOOKS like common sense will<br />
finally prevail over the code of conduct<br />
complaints laid against local community<br />
board member Darrell Latham and others<br />
(page 1).<br />
Latham, as well as Coastal Ward city<br />
councillor David East and Coastal-Burwood Community Board<br />
chairwoman Kim Money and deputy chairman Tim Sintes from<br />
across the estuary, were taken to task by the city council for<br />
their public views on the District Plan flooding issues.<br />
But their criticisms forced a rethink from council chiefs over<br />
what had been left out of the plan, which was causing grief for<br />
many living near the coast.<br />
But the complaints and potential repercussions have remained<br />
unresolved. When East returns from holiday next week there<br />
will be a public statement.<br />
I think they will get off, and deservedly so too.<br />

The Binding<br />
by Bridget Collins<br />
‘I wish I had written it’ Erin Kelly<br />
Imagine you could erase your grief.<br />
Imagine you could forget your pain.<br />
Imagine you could hide a secret…Forever.<br />
Emmett Farmer is working in the fields when a letter arrives<br />
summoning him to begin an apprenticeship. He will work for a<br />
Bookbinder, a vocation that arouses fear, superstition and prejudice<br />
– but one neither he nor his parents can afford to refuse. He will<br />
learn to hand-craft beautiful volumes, and within each he will capture<br />
something unique and extraordinary: a memory. If there’s something you want to forget,<br />
he can help. If there’s something you need to erase, he can assist. Your past will be<br />
stored safely in a book and you will never remember your secret, however terrible. In<br />
a vault under his mentor’s workshop, row upon row of books – and memories – are<br />
meticulously stored and recorded. Then one day Emmett makes an astonishing<br />
discovery: one of them has his name on it.<br />
THE BINDING is an unforgettable, magical novel: a boundary-defying love story and a<br />
unique literary event.<br />

Georgie’s beloved dog, Mr Mash, gets sick. And that’s only the start of her<br />
troubles.<br />

… without actually leaving the room.<br />
An extraordinary quest with the biggest stakes of all, and a huge idea at its heart,<br />
this is time travel – but not as you know it.<br />

TENSIONS ARE running high in<br />
Lyttelton after dog owners have been<br />
left notes threatening to call dog<br />
control on their pets.<br />
One resident had been left two<br />
handwritten notes on separate occasions.<br />
One of them stating “your f*****g<br />
dog has barked the whole afternoon.<br />
Some people were trying to get a<br />
nap.”<br />
The note which was posted on community<br />
Facebook group, “Lyttelton<br />
– Ain’t No Place I’d Rather Be!” led to<br />
a heated debate<br />
between local residents.<br />
One dog owner was astounded<br />
when he found a printed letter on his<br />
doorstep threatening to contact dog<br />
control if his dogs were not kept on<br />
his own property.<br />
The owner said they were<br />
disappointed that the writer of the<br />
letter could not knock on the door<br />
and have a conversation with him face<br />
to face.<br />
Several other dog owners in the<br />
area have received similar letters and<br />
believe they are coming from the<br />
same person.<br />
Residents from Hawkhurst Rd,<br />
Reserve Tce and College Rd reported<br />
that they had received similar notes.<br />

Worsley’s logbook brings voyage to life<br />
How he navigated the sub-Antarctic sea<br />
A JOURNEY of discovery has<br />
unravelled the science behind<br />
an incredible feat of celestial<br />
navigation by Akaroa-born<br />
Antarctic explorer Frank Worsley.<br />
An international group of<br />
researchers used Worsley’s original<br />
logbook to analyse the voyage of<br />
a lifeboat, the James Caird, across<br />
1500km of rough sub-Antarctic sea<br />
in 19<strong>16</strong> after the Endurance was<br />
crushed by pack ice.<br />
Their conclusions have been<br />
published in the Records of the<br />
Canterbury Museum volume 32,<br />
the museum’s annual research<br />
publication.<br />
The logbook is part of the<br />
museum’s significant collection on<br />
Antarctic exploration.<br />
In his home town, Worsley’s<br />
skills and unquenchable thirst<br />
for adventure are celebrated in an<br />
exhibition at Akaroa Museum.<br />
A bust of the navigator also stands<br />
near the main wharf.<br />
Worsley’s amazing Antarctic<br />
voyage was borne out of<br />
desperation.<br />
Endurance was the main ship<br />
of the Imperial Trans-Antarctic<br />
Expedition. It was crushed by ice in<br />
October 1915, stranding the crew<br />
led by Sir Ernest Shackleton.<br />
After camping out until April<br />
display-HN-90x12.9.pdf 2 21/12/2018 1:11:19 p.m.<br />
19<strong>16</strong>, the expedition’s 28 members<br />
eventually reached Elephant Island<br />
in three lifeboats.<br />
With winter closing in, carpenter<br />
Harry McNish converted the<br />
7m James Caird for open sea travel.<br />
Six men – including Shackleton,<br />
Worsley and McNish – then set<br />
out for South Georgia Island to<br />
seek help from one of the whaling<br />
stations.<br />
The trip took more than two<br />
weeks, with Worsley’s job as the<br />
navigator complicated by the rough<br />
conditions.<br />
He needed to check the boat’s<br />
position using the sun, but it<br />
was seldom seen. He also had<br />
to estimate the longitude of the<br />
starting position.<br />
If this was wrong, the crew could<br />
overshoot South Georgia Island<br />
and all would be lost.<br />
The research paper by Lars<br />
Bergman (Sweden), the late George<br />
Huxtable (United Kingdom),<br />
Bradley Morris (United States)<br />
and Robin Stuart (New Zealand),<br />
provides an introduction to the<br />
principles and methods of celestial<br />
navigation used by Worsley to<br />
successfully complete the voyage.<br />
The paper also answers several<br />
key questions over the source<br />
materials and assumptions that<br />
enabled Worsley’s longitude<br />
estimate.<br />
Remarkably, all the expedition<br />
members were eventually rescued.<br />
Replicating the calculations has<br />
underlined the extraordinary feat<br />
of navigation, Mr Stuart said.<br />
“Worsley had to take the<br />
sights and manually perform the<br />
reduction calculations sitting<br />
on ballast rocks in a small boat<br />
heaving on ocean swells,” he says.<br />
“Yet, for that critical 14-day<br />
period, we did not find a single<br />
error.<br />
“Without Worsley’s superlative<br />
skills as a navigator, Shackleton’s<br />
expedition might be remembered<br />
as a tragedy rather than the epic<br />
tale of Antarctic survival we know<br />
it as today.”<br />
They also used Worsley’s logbook<br />
to examine the possible location of<br />
the Endurance wreck.<br />
That research was prompted by<br />
an international science expedition<br />
to study ice shelves in the Weddell<br />
Sea which also plans to locate and<br />
survey the wreck.<br />
The 45-day Weddell Sea<br />
expedition, which includes<br />
scientists from Canterbury<br />
University, recently left Penguin<br />
Bukta in Antarctica, heading for<br />
the Larsen C Ice Shelf.<br />

Uncle Harry’s cross finds a home<br />
Two more World<br />
War 1 crosses which<br />
celebrated Armistice<br />
Day at the Sumner<br />
Redcliffs RSA have<br />
been claimed. Jess<br />
Gibson reports<br />
WORLD WAR 1 memorials<br />
honour him as Lieutenant<br />
Harry Marshall Wright. To his<br />
family more than 100 years on,<br />
he remains Uncle Harry.<br />
Lieutenant Wright enlisted<br />
as a volunteer in 1912 and<br />
climbed the ranks before the<br />
war broke out in 1914.<br />
He was living in Sumner<br />
when he left for Gallipoli to<br />
fight in the battle of Chunuk<br />
Bair. The last memory his family<br />
has of Lieutenant Wright<br />
was a piggyback ride given to<br />
his younger brother before he<br />
drove away for the last time.<br />
He embarked from Wellington<br />
on April 17, 1915, but<br />
was killed in action in Turkey<br />
several months later on August<br />
7, aged 24.<br />
City council heritage<br />
adviser Gareth Wright said<br />
the death of his great uncle<br />
impacted on the family in a<br />
major way. <br />
“I recall my grandfather<br />
FOND MEMORIES:<br />
Lieutenant Harry Marshall<br />
Wright was last seen by his<br />
family in 1914, piggybacking<br />
his younger brother.<br />
would get quite teary when he<br />
talked about his older brother,”<br />
said Gareth.<br />
Lieutenant Wright’s name<br />
appears on a number of memorials<br />
around Christchurch.<br />
“He’s on the memorial at the<br />
community centre in Sumner.<br />
He went to Christchurch Boy’s<br />
High, so his name is on the<br />
memorial there, and because<br />
the family was living in Hororata<br />
at the time he was killed,<br />
he’s on the Hororata memorial<br />
also,” said Gareth.<br />
Gareth said on his trip to<br />
Gallipoli to visit the<br />
New Zealand memorial<br />
at Chunuk Bair,<br />
where his great uncle’s<br />
name was engraved,<br />
was “quite emotional.’’<br />
Gareth said Lieutenant<br />
Wright’s ceremonial<br />
sword hangs on<br />
the wall of his father’s<br />
house. At his own<br />
home in Addington,<br />
his photo and some of his<br />
medals are displayed.<br />
Now, one of 21 crosses held<br />
by the Sumner Redcliffs RSA,<br />
that were displayed in Armistice<br />
Day commemorations to<br />
remember Sumner’s fallen soldiers,<br />
will be added to Gareth’s<br />
memorabilia.<br />
Gareth got in touch with<br />
RSA president Pat Boland<br />
after he saw an article in the<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News that asked<br />
descendants to take their cross.<br />
Gareth said he is happy for<br />
the opportunity to collect the<br />
cross. “I’m very keen on my<br />
family history,” he said.<br />
He said he plans to either<br />
keep the cross or give it to his<br />
father, who can hang next to<br />
his brothers sword.<br />
A significant part of the<br />
Wright’s family history is that,<br />
like Gareth now, Lieutenant<br />
Wright was a part<br />
of the city council.<br />
Before he was<br />

VULNERABLE: Pile-driving at Lyttelton Port Company’s planned new cruise ship<br />
berth can cause temporary or even permanent hearing loss for the endangered<br />
Hector’s dolphins.<br />
Port not doing enough<br />
to monitor dolphins<br />
– marine biologist<br />
• By Louis Day<br />
A MARINE biologist has<br />
criticised the Lyttelton<br />
Port Company’s use of a<br />
single observer to monitor<br />
Hector’s dolphins in the<br />
harbour.<br />
LPC is currently piling<br />
for its new cruise ship<br />
berth. It has promised<br />
to cease all pile driving<br />
activity when Hector’s<br />
dolphins come within<br />
450m of the berth.<br />
However, Otago<br />
University marine biology<br />
professor Liz Slooten said<br />
the majority of dolphins<br />
are likely to be undetected<br />
by a single observer.<br />
“With one person<br />
looking, you are only going<br />
to see a small fraction of<br />
the dolphins that<br />
are out there.”<br />
Prof Slooten<br />
said this could<br />
cause a lot of<br />
dolphins to be<br />
vulnerable to<br />
hearing loss.<br />
“They use<br />
sound for<br />
everything –<br />
that’s why people<br />
often say a deaf dolphin is a<br />
dead dolphin.”<br />
Prof Slooten said the<br />
size of the safety zone also<br />
makes it difficult to detect<br />
the dolphins.<br />
“The probability of<br />
detecting Hector’s dolphins<br />
drops quite significantly<br />
with distance,” she said.<br />
“At about 100m you only<br />
see about 60 per cent (of<br />
Liz Slooten<br />
the dolphins), and<br />
about 200m you<br />
only see a third,<br />
and at 400m you<br />
would only see<br />
about 14 per cent<br />
of the dolphins.”<br />
LPC strategic<br />
engagement<br />
manager Phil<br />
De Joux said he<br />
is confident its<br />
current plan will mitigate<br />
the impacts of piling on the<br />
dolphins.<br />
“We have worked at<br />
putting together this plan<br />
with a group of experts<br />
with years of experience<br />
from multiple disciplines.”<br />
Mr De Joux said 287<br />
dolphins have been spotted<br />
since it started piling at the<br />
end of last year.<br />
Boy racer barrier at marina<br />
• By Louis Day<br />
BARRIER ARMS have<br />
been installed at the<br />
entrance to the Te Ana<br />
Marina car park (right)<br />
to prevent boy racers<br />
disturbing residents at<br />
night.<br />
Residents have complained<br />
about boy racers<br />
revving engines late at<br />
night and early in the<br />
morning, prompting the<br />
Lyttelton Port Company,<br />
which owns the marina, to<br />
install the barrier arms.<br />
They will remain open<br />
during the day so vehicles<br />
can access the car park and<br />
the Woolstore area, but will<br />
be closed from 9.30pm to<br />
5.30am.<br />
Marina berth-holders<br />
will be able to access the<br />
car park 24 hours a day<br />
using their swipe key, and<br />
the exit arm is automated<br />
so vehicles can exit at any<br />
time.<br />
LPC strategic<br />
engagement manager<br />
Phil De Joux is confident<br />
the barrier arms will<br />
bring an end to boy<br />
racers disturbing nearby<br />
residents.<br />
“We had previously<br />
employed security to keep<br />
them [boy racers] out, but<br />
now we have moved to this<br />
more permanent solution.”<br />

Twins keep parents on their toes<br />
Two years ago<br />
Radhika Naidu gave<br />
birth to identical<br />
twin boys, Manu and<br />
Dominic Wells. Emily<br />
O’Connell catches up<br />
with the family<br />
“CHEERFUL, PLAYFUL and<br />
extremely naughty.”<br />
That’s how Radhika Naidu describes<br />
her twin boys who were<br />
born nine weeks premature on<br />
<strong>January</strong> 1, 2017.<br />
Their early arrival meant the<br />
twins spent the first 57 days of<br />
their life in a neonatal intensive<br />
care unit in Christchurch<br />
Women’s Hospital. It also meant<br />
the pair were known as twin<br />
one and two for six weeks, while<br />
Ms Naidu and husband Victor<br />
Wells decided on names which<br />
included both their cultures.<br />
Although the two-year-olds<br />
are identical, Ms Naidu says they<br />
look “so different” and their personalities<br />
are not “alike at all.”<br />
She said Manu, who is the<br />
bigger twin, was the first to walk<br />
and develop skills and Dominic<br />
is more cheerful and observant<br />
and “takes on adverse situations<br />
more readily.”<br />
Along with the twins, Ms<br />
Naidu and Mr Wells are kept<br />
busy with two other children,<br />
Mia, 7, and Ariki who is threeand-half-years<br />
old.<br />
“I just don’t remember having to<br />
monitor them [Mia and Ariki] all<br />
the time like this. These guys [the<br />
twins] egg each other on,” she said.<br />
Ms Naidu says the biggest difference<br />
between the twins and<br />
her older two children is their<br />
comprised immunity caused by a<br />
premature birth.<br />
“Especially Dominic, so when<br />
he was born . . . they realised<br />
his umbilical cord was straggly<br />
and unhealthy looking and it<br />
had knots in it. So it had been<br />
comprising his blood flow from<br />
the beginning,” she said.<br />
Dominic has an eye condition<br />
called nystagmus, which Ms<br />
Naidu has been told is common<br />
with premature babies, and he<br />
has immature lung development<br />
meaning he gets sick easily.<br />
“They both have asthma and<br />
eczema and they use preventers.<br />
They seem to be a little better<br />
now. We’re hoping they keep<br />
improving,” she said.<br />
<strong>January</strong> 2017 was a busy<br />
month for Ms Naidu and Mr<br />
Wells, with the birth of their<br />
twins which “forever redefined”<br />
New Year’s Day for them, moving<br />
house and their first child,<br />
Mia, starting primary school. Ms<br />
Naidu said her husband was the<br />
“rock” during this time.<br />
Manu and Dominic aren’t the<br />
only ones in the family born on<br />
a significant day, their grandmother<br />
Protima Naidu was born<br />
on Christmas Day.<br />
Ms Naidu says discovering<br />
Mulitples Canterbury, which<br />
supports people with twins,<br />
triplets or more, has been “encouraging”<br />
and has helped her<br />
feel less isolated.<br />
She said the organisation<br />

ADverTOrIAL<br />
Sustainability key<br />
to organic farming<br />
There’s something for<br />
everyone in the realm of<br />
organic farming but as far<br />
as Bill Martin is concerned,<br />
it’s all about sustainability.<br />
The Training College<br />
Manager at Lincoln<br />
University’s Biological<br />
Husbandry Unit Organics<br />
Trust (BHU) is happy to see<br />
a surge in enthusiasm for<br />
organic food production<br />
as younger generations<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 <strong>2019</strong>.<br />
HEALTHY TREAT: Stay-at-home dad Matt Salmons’ daughter, Vittoria, turned<br />
one on Saturday.<br />
Vittoria’s first<br />
birthday party<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 />

PHEW, WE’RE out of the<br />
holiday season.<br />
We’ve had Christmas,<br />
New Year and last Sunday<br />
we had the Feast of the<br />
Epiphany, when Vittoria got<br />
a sock full of treats from the<br />
Christmas Witch/La Befana<br />
– it’s an Italian thing.<br />
We didn’t manage to<br />
burn the traditional effigy<br />
but we did get in a not-sotraditional<br />
feast of fish ’n’<br />
chips.<br />
Now we’re back into the<br />
swing of first birthdays.<br />
It started on Saturday<br />
with the most important<br />
one (for me and Laura<br />
anyway) – Vittoria’s.<br />
No one tells you how<br />
many first birthday parties<br />
you end up going to after<br />
you have a kid, but it makes<br />
a whole heap of sense when<br />
you actually think about it.<br />
It’s seemed like we’ve had<br />
one at least every second<br />
weekend over the last<br />
couple of months.<br />
It’s great, they’re not quite<br />
completely for the kids yet,<br />
so they still have plenty to<br />
keep the adults entertained<br />
too.<br />
They’re the perfect blend<br />
of your favourite finger<br />
foods from childhood,<br />
children’s party games<br />
and the opportunity for<br />
extremely responsible<br />
drinking.<br />
I kind of feel like we<br />
cheated with Vittoria’s since<br />
we hosted it at an early<br />
learning centre rather than<br />
at home, but we certainly<br />
did not skimp on the treats<br />
or birthday atmosphere.<br />
I can’t believe she’s now a<br />
year old.<br />
A little over a year ago we<br />
prepared for her arrival via<br />
caesarean at 10.31am on<br />
Friday, <strong>January</strong> 12.<br />
I’m not ashamed to<br />
admit that in spite of my<br />
unflappably stiff-upperlipped<br />
support of Laura<br />
through the operation, I<br />
was a blubbering wreck as<br />
soon as I saw Vittoria.<br />
Just under a week later<br />
we brought her home. She<br />
was such a quiet wee thing,<br />
mostly sleeping.<br />
VITTORIA<br />
& Matt<br />
It was terrifying and<br />
exciting. I feel like I’m<br />
getting pretty good at<br />
parenting, which is good<br />
because she is no longer<br />
quiet or prone to sleeping.<br />
In fact over the last few<br />
days she decided she didn’t<br />
need three naps a day<br />
anymore, as she is a big<br />
girl now. She also worked<br />
on polishing her tantrum<br />
abilities and showed signs<br />
of getting picky with food<br />
(shudder).<br />
But she’s still just as keen<br />
on cuddles as she’s ever<br />
been, is laughing a lot, and<br />
is always curious about the<br />
world around her.<br />
I hope those things don’t<br />
change for a long time to<br />
come.<br />

A POPULAR ute has<br />
caught the attention of<br />
thieves.<br />
Toyota Hiluxes are being<br />
stolen in large numbers<br />
across Canterbury.<br />
In Christchurch last<br />
year, 133 were stolen and<br />
more were taken in the<br />
Selwyn district and North<br />
Canterbury.<br />
Acting Canterbury<br />
district commander<br />
Inspector Peter Cooper<br />
said due to its popularity,<br />
the ute is being “routinely<br />
targeted” by thieves.<br />
Older models may also<br />
be stolen for parts, he said.<br />
In 2017 and 2018, the<br />
Hilux was the second best<br />
selling new vehicle in New<br />
Zealand. The top<br />
selling vehicle was<br />
the Ford Ranger<br />
ute.<br />
The theft of<br />
Hiluxes has also<br />
been an ongoing<br />
problem in<br />
Selwyn and North<br />
Canterbury, police<br />
said.<br />
Rangiora<br />
Sergeant Colin Stewart<br />
said there was a<br />
“significant increase” in<br />
Hilux thefts in the area<br />
about two months ago.<br />
“We go through stages<br />
Most stolen vehicles in New Zealand<br />
1. Honda Torneo<br />
7. Mazda Atenza<br />
2. Mazda Familia<br />
8. Subaru Forester<br />

where it appears they<br />
target Hiluxes. There is<br />
a market out there – it’s<br />
where people are<br />
buying parts from<br />
dubious characters,”<br />
he said.<br />
But the situation<br />
has improved since<br />
a police operation in<br />
Belfast two months<br />
ago, Sergeant<br />
Stewart said.<br />
Rolleston Senior<br />
Sergeant Pete Stills<br />
said the theft of Hiluxes<br />
has been a “constant<br />
issue” in Selwyn. Police<br />
recommend people<br />
secure their vehicles in a<br />
garage or fit them with an<br />
immobiliser or alarm.<br />
In spite of the police<br />
warning, the Hilux does<br />
not feature in the top<br />

SAFE: Make sure you check all your boating equipment, including life jackets,<br />
regularly for any sign of wear.<br />
‘If in doubt, throw it out’<br />
• By Gary Manch<br />
I DON’T know whether<br />
it’s an age thing, but the<br />
summer holiday break<br />
seems to come around a<br />
lot quicker than when I<br />
was <strong>16</strong>.<br />
One thing I am certain of<br />
is that our summers appear<br />
to be arriving later and<br />
later, and climate change is<br />
certainly having an effect.<br />
With greenhouse<br />
warming, our ozone layer<br />
is getting thinner.<br />
How does this affect us as<br />
boaties?<br />
To put it simply, it’s like<br />
wearing sunscreen to stop<br />
getting burnt.<br />
Over time life jackets<br />
and other safety equipment<br />
exposed to the sun<br />
on a regular basis can<br />
deteriorate and break down<br />
and the equipment will not<br />
function to the high safety<br />
levels required.<br />
So the million dollar<br />
question is, how to prevent<br />
this happening?<br />
It’s simple really. Firstly,<br />
do what none of us ever<br />
do – okay some may,<br />
but how many of you<br />
follow the instructions<br />
until frustration gets the<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-<br />
Harding<br />
A PETITION has been<br />
launched in a bid to<br />
stop Kiwibank closing<br />
its branch at Eastgate<br />
Shopping Centre.<br />
More than 1300 people<br />
have signed the petition,<br />
which will be put to<br />
Kiwibank chief executive<br />
Steve Jurkovich and chairwoman<br />
of the board Susan<br />
Macken before the closure<br />
on <strong>January</strong> 30.<br />
It was launched by Port<br />
Hills MP Ruth Dyson, city<br />
councillor Yani Johanson<br />
and Woolston Community<br />
Association chairwoman<br />
Jackie Simons.<br />
Pirate’s Corner<br />
better of you – you should<br />
follow the manufacturer’s<br />
instructions in relation to<br />
how to look after your gear.<br />
Secondly, check your<br />
equipment regularly<br />
for any sign of wear, or<br />
breakdown of material, and<br />
use the old saying – ‘if in<br />
doubt, throw it out’.<br />
When you compare the<br />
cost of your boat, jetski, or<br />
paddleboard to the cost of<br />
the safety equipment you<br />
require, it’s minimal.<br />
Many years ago, Bell<br />
Helmets, which are known<br />
for quality helmets in the<br />
motorcycling world, had<br />
a saying and this can be<br />
translated to many other<br />
areas where safety is<br />
paramount.<br />
It went: “If you have a $10<br />
head, wear a $10 helmet.”<br />
New Zealand Post, which<br />
is a joint operation with<br />
Kiwibank, will also close on<br />
<strong>January</strong> 30.<br />
But NZ Post is still<br />
planning to provide postal<br />
and bill payment<br />
services in Eastgate<br />
through an agency.<br />
Head of retail<br />
Mark Yagmich<br />
said it is working<br />
on shifting postal<br />
services to another<br />
local business and<br />
hopes to be able to<br />
announce who the operator<br />
will be later this month.<br />
The Kiwibank closure<br />
comes three months after<br />
Environment Canterbury<br />
reduced its bus services in<br />
Jackie Simons<br />
That sums it up nicely, I<br />
think.<br />
Lastly, a big thank you<br />
to a lot of you boaties<br />
out there who have their<br />
identification on their<br />
boat, PWC, or other vessel.<br />
It’s great to see good<br />
compliance in this area.<br />
If you have not got<br />
it sorted yet, please get<br />
onto it, refer to part 20<br />
of the Navigation Safety<br />
Bylaw 20<strong>16</strong> for further<br />
information.<br />
You can find the<br />
information at https://<br />
www.ecan.govt.nz/do-itonline/harbourmastersoffice/.<br />
Our sole aim is to<br />
ensure everyone is safe on<br />
the water and enjoys the<br />
summer.<br />
Take care out there.<br />
Petition launched to save bank<br />
Linwood. Environment<br />
Canterbury replaced the<br />
535 bus route with a shopper<br />
service. The 155 service<br />
runs three times a day,<br />
Monday to Friday, and is on<br />
trial for 12 months.<br />
The closure of<br />
Kiwibank has been<br />
described as “one<br />
more frustrating<br />
thing” for residents<br />
living in the area.<br />
Ms Simons said<br />
the closure of<br />
Kiwibank is “just<br />
ridiculous” as it is the third<br />
branch in the area to close.<br />

QE II tops list for ‘code browns’<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
CITY COUNCIL staff were kept<br />
busy last year with <strong>16</strong>7 ‘code<br />
browns’ closing pools across<br />
Christchurch.<br />
In spite of only opening on<br />
May 31, Taiora: QE II Recreation<br />
and Sport Centre has taken out<br />
the ‘most poops’ title with 71<br />
code browns and 33 vomiting<br />
incidents. However, in defence<br />
of the new facility, it has seven<br />
pools.<br />
The second biggest complex,<br />
which has five pools, is Jellie Park<br />
Recreation and Sport Centre.<br />
But its outdoor pool also closes<br />
during winter.<br />
QE II has been popular since<br />
opening and on 30 occasions<br />
a one-in, one-out policy has<br />
been applied to customers when<br />
maximum capacity has been<br />
reached.<br />
City council head of recreation<br />
sports and events Nigel Cox<br />
believes QE II has the most<br />
closures due to a significant<br />
number of younger swimmers<br />
who enjoy the multiple play<br />
spaces.<br />
Meanwhile, Graham Condon<br />
Recreation and Sport Centre,<br />
with four pools, had 47 code<br />
browns and 20 vomiting<br />
incidents – two more than 2017,<br />
SURPRISE: Taiora: QE II Recreation and Sports Centre took<br />
the unwanted title of most code browns in 2018 from Pioneer<br />
Recreation and Sport Centre which topped the list in 2017.<br />
when there were 46 and 19<br />
respectively.<br />
Jellie Park had 13 code browns<br />
and 17 vomits – less than the 21<br />
and 21 recorded in 2017.<br />
Pioneer Recreation and Sport<br />
Centre, which saw the highest<br />
number of code browns in 2017,<br />
had a much better 2018. There<br />
were only 34 code browns and<br />
six vomiting incidents in the last<br />
year – compared to the 57 and 26<br />
in 2017.<br />
The city council provides<br />
tips on its website on how to<br />
ensure its pools stay open,<br />
offering pointers for parents and<br />
caregivers who should take extra<br />
care when accompanying a child<br />
to the pool.<br />
The tips include allowing<br />
food to settle before swimming,<br />
making sure your child has been<br />
to the toilet before entering the<br />
pool and reminding your child<br />
that it is okay to get out of the<br />
pool to go to the toilet during<br />
swimming lessons, just let their<br />
tutor know.<br />
If the water in the pool does<br />
not meet the required quality<br />
standard, the pool has to be<br />
cleared of swimmers then treated<br />
and cleaned.<br />
Cleaning times vary for<br />
different pools and facilities. It<br />
can range from 40min for a spa<br />
pool to 12hr 40min for a lane<br />
pool.<br />

Skoda Octavia Scout makes driving easy<br />

AS AGE HAS caught up with me,<br />

I took the test car on one of my<br />

treats its occupants over a distance.<br />

steering feel. Providing the<br />
grip are high quality Michelin<br />
Primacy tyres (225/50 x 17in),<br />
and they have a solid footprint<br />
with the road surface.<br />
Skoda has sprung the Octavia<br />
Scout with softish settings, but<br />
because there is little weight in the<br />
vehicle and with a low centre of<br />
gravity – the Scout is only 1.5m<br />
tall – there is little handling tradeoff,<br />
comfort and ability has been a<br />
high manufacturing criteria.<br />
Yet there is another surprise<br />
with the Scout, it has fourwheel-drive.<br />
With just 171mm<br />
of ground clearance, it can’t be<br />
considered an off-road vehicle,<br />
however, I took the test car onto a<br />
cross-country track to take photos<br />
and was impressed with its<br />
suspension control and in-cabin<br />
comfort over some gnarly bumps<br />
and ruts. I can see it as a good<br />
alternative to the mainstream cars<br />
which tackle the skifield access<br />
roads over winter.<br />
Not only did I put the Scout to<br />
good use during the time it was in<br />
my care, but it also reinforced my<br />
desire for the 2-litre diesel engine.<br />
Sadly, not enough Kiwi buyers<br />
warm to diesel, and I still can’t<br />
quite figure that out. The Scout<br />
in this form would certainly<br />
be a car I would consider as a<br />
functional form of daily transport<br />
and at $48,990 how could you go<br />
wrong?<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 of 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 />

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 20<strong>16</strong>, IAG’s offer of the<br />
difference betw en indemnity value,<br />
$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,<br />
$<strong>16</strong> 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 />
