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 />

SUMNER’S Ava Henderson narrowly<br />

missed out on winning the under-14<br />

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

Ava had already caught three<br />

waves before the other competitors<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 />

The astounding new novel from the bestselling and Costa-shortlisted author of<br />

Time Travelling with a Hamster, this is a story for everyone of ten and older who<br />

loves adventure, laughs and tears.<br />

“One of my favourite middle-grade writers” Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of The<br />

When eleven-year-old Georgie befriends an eccentric retired scientist, she<br />

of the future.<br />

But then a deadly disease threatens the life of every dog in the country and<br />

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

troubles.<br />

Soon, Georgie and Mr Mash must embark on a desperate quest: to save every<br />

dog on earth, and maybe even all of humanity …<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 />

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 />

News<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 />

3. Mazda Demio<br />

10. Mazda Capella<br />

Peter Cooper<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 />

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 />

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 />

The removal of funding<br />

prompted community board<br />

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten<br />

to stan down, citing it as her “die<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 />
