District Plan conflict close to end 

• By Julia Evans 

UNDER FIRE Darrell Latham, 

two community board members 

and a city councillor appear to be 

close to resolving their conflict 

with the city council over District 

Plan flooding issues. 

The Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board member, 

as well as Coastal Ward city 

councillor David East, Coastal- 

Burwood Community 

Board chairwoman Kim 

Money and deputy chairman 

Tim Sintes, have been 

facing code of conduct 

complaints since September 

over an allegation 

staff had tampered with the 

District Plan. 

Mr Sintes said the group would 

be making an announcement in 

the next couple of weeks. 

“We’re going to do a 

release as a group when 

David East comes back 

from holiday,” he said. 

Mr Sintes said he 

would be pleased to have 

the issue wrapped up. 

Dr Latham also said 

the four would make a statement 

Darrell 

Latham 

soon. “We’ll be in the perfect 

position to do that,” he said. 

However, yesterday city council 

chief executive Karleen Edwards 

said, as the process is still under 

way, she has no comment. The 

root of the conflict was a threeline 

clause omitted from the city’s 

new District Plan, which came 

into effect in December 2017. 

The clause would give 

leeway to people in specific 

coastal areas, deemed at risk of 

flooding, to build and extend 

homes. 

Greater Christchurch 

Regeneration Minister 

Megan Woods approved city 

council’s proposal to amend 

the Christchurch District Plan 

under section 71 of the Greater 

Christchurch Regeneration Act.

Ava 

national 

surf title 

• By Louis Day 

SUMNER’S Ava Henderson narrowly 

missed out on winning the under-14 

girls division at the national surfing 

championships in Taranaki. 

Ava (right) lost to Australian-based 

surfer Amarnie Barber after she 

made a priority error. 

Ava had already caught three 

waves before the other competitors 

had caught one which is classed as a 

priority error. 

The 13-year-old said she felt hard 

done by.

IT LOOKS like common sense will 

finally prevail over the code of conduct 

complaints laid against local community 

board member Darrell Latham and others 

(page 1). 

Latham, as well as Coastal Ward city 

councillor David East and Coastal-Burwood Community Board 

chairwoman Kim Money and deputy chairman Tim Sintes from 

across the estuary, were taken to task by the city council for 

their public views on the District Plan flooding issues. 

But their criticisms forced a rethink from council chiefs over 

what had been left out of the plan, which was causing grief for 

many living near the coast. 

But the complaints and potential repercussions have remained 

unresolved. When East returns from holiday next week there 

will be a public statement. 

I think they will get off, and deservedly so too.

The Binding 

by Bridget Collins 

‘I wish I had written it’ Erin Kelly 

Imagine you could erase your grief. 

Imagine you could forget your pain. 

Imagine you could hide a secret…Forever. 

Emmett Farmer is working in the fields when a letter arrives 

summoning him to begin an apprenticeship. He will work for a 

Bookbinder, a vocation that arouses fear, superstition and prejudice 

– but one neither he nor his parents can afford to refuse. He will 

learn to hand-craft beautiful volumes, and within each he will capture 

something unique and extraordinary: a memory. If there’s something you want to forget, 

he can help. If there’s something you need to erase, he can assist. Your past will be 

stored safely in a book and you will never remember your secret, however terrible. In 

a vault under his mentor’s workshop, row upon row of books – and memories – are 

meticulously stored and recorded. Then one day Emmett makes an astonishing 

discovery: one of them has his name on it. 

THE BINDING is an unforgettable, magical novel: a boundary-defying love story and a 

unique literary event. 

The Dog Who Saved the World 

by Ross Welford 

The astounding new novel from the bestselling and Costa-shortlisted author of 

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

loves adventure, laughs and tears. 

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

Girl of Ink and Stars 

When eleven-year-old Georgie befriends an eccentric retired scientist, she 

becomes the test subject for a thrilling new experiment: a virtual-reality 3D version 

of the future. 

But then a deadly disease threatens the life of every dog in the country and 

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

troubles. 

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

dog on earth, and maybe even all of humanity … 

… without actually leaving the room. 

An extraordinary quest with the biggest stakes of all, and a huge idea at its heart, 

this is time travel – but not as you know it.

TENSIONS ARE running high in 

Lyttelton after dog owners have been 

left notes threatening to call dog 

control on their pets. 

One resident had been left two 

handwritten notes on separate occasions. 

One of them stating “your f*****g 

dog has barked the whole afternoon. 

Some people were trying to get a 

nap.” 

The note which was posted on community 

Facebook group, “Lyttelton 

– Ain’t No Place I’d Rather Be!” led to 

a heated debate 

between local residents. 

One dog owner was astounded 

when he found a printed letter on his 

doorstep threatening to contact dog 

control if his dogs were not kept on 

his own property. 

The owner said they were 

disappointed that the writer of the 

letter could not knock on the door 

and have a conversation with him face 

to face. 

Several other dog owners in the 

area have received similar letters and 

believe they are coming from the 

same person. 

Residents from Hawkhurst Rd, 

Reserve Tce and College Rd reported 

that they had received similar notes.

Worsley’s logbook brings voyage to life 

How he navigated the sub-Antarctic sea 

A JOURNEY of discovery has 

unravelled the science behind 

an incredible feat of celestial 

navigation by Akaroa-born 

Antarctic explorer Frank Worsley. 

An international group of 

researchers used Worsley’s original 

logbook to analyse the voyage of 

a lifeboat, the James Caird, across 

1500km of rough sub-Antarctic sea 

in 1916 after the Endurance was 

crushed by pack ice. 

Their conclusions have been 

published in the Records of the 

Canterbury Museum volume 32, 

the museum’s annual research 

publication. 

The logbook is part of the 

museum’s significant collection on 

Antarctic exploration. 

In his home town, Worsley’s 

skills and unquenchable thirst 

for adventure are celebrated in an 

exhibition at Akaroa Museum. 

A bust of the navigator also stands 

near the main wharf. 

Worsley’s amazing Antarctic 

voyage was borne out of 

desperation. 

Endurance was the main ship 

of the Imperial Trans-Antarctic 

Expedition. It was crushed by ice in 

October 1915, stranding the crew 

led by Sir Ernest Shackleton. 

After camping out until April 

display-HN-90x12.9.pdf 2 21/12/2018 1:11:19 p.m. 

1916, the expedition’s 28 members 

eventually reached Elephant Island 

in three lifeboats. 

With winter closing in, carpenter 

Harry McNish converted the 

7m James Caird for open sea travel. 

Six men – including Shackleton, 

Worsley and McNish – then set 

out for South Georgia Island to 

seek help from one of the whaling 

stations. 

The trip took more than two 

weeks, with Worsley’s job as the 

navigator complicated by the rough 

conditions. 

He needed to check the boat’s 

position using the sun, but it 

was seldom seen. He also had 

to estimate the longitude of the 

starting position. 

If this was wrong, the crew could 

overshoot South Georgia Island 

and all would be lost. 

The research paper by Lars 

Bergman (Sweden), the late George 

Huxtable (United Kingdom), 

Bradley Morris (United States) 

and Robin Stuart (New Zealand), 

provides an introduction to the 

principles and methods of celestial 

navigation used by Worsley to 

successfully complete the voyage. 

The paper also answers several 

key questions over the source 

materials and assumptions that 

enabled Worsley’s longitude 

estimate. 

Remarkably, all the expedition 

members were eventually rescued. 

Replicating the calculations has 

underlined the extraordinary feat 

of navigation, Mr Stuart said. 

“Worsley had to take the 

sights and manually perform the 

reduction calculations sitting 

on ballast rocks in a small boat 

heaving on ocean swells,” he says. 

“Yet, for that critical 14-day 

period, we did not find a single 

error. 

“Without Worsley’s superlative 

skills as a navigator, Shackleton’s 

expedition might be remembered 

as a tragedy rather than the epic 

tale of Antarctic survival we know 

it as today.” 

They also used Worsley’s logbook 

to examine the possible location of 

the Endurance wreck. 

That research was prompted by 

an international science expedition 

to study ice shelves in the Weddell 

Sea which also plans to locate and 

survey the wreck. 

The 45-day Weddell Sea 

expedition, which includes 

scientists from Canterbury 

University, recently left Penguin 

Bukta in Antarctica, heading for 

the Larsen C Ice Shelf.

Uncle Harry’s cross finds a home 

Two more World 

War 1 crosses which 

celebrated Armistice 

Day at the Sumner 

Redcliffs RSA have 

been claimed. Jess 

Gibson reports 

WORLD WAR 1 memorials 

honour him as Lieutenant 

Harry Marshall Wright. To his 

family more than 100 years on, 

he remains Uncle Harry. 

Lieutenant Wright enlisted 

as a volunteer in 1912 and 

climbed the ranks before the 

war broke out in 1914. 

He was living in Sumner 

when he left for Gallipoli to 

fight in the battle of Chunuk 

Bair. The last memory his family 

has of Lieutenant Wright 

was a piggyback ride given to 

his younger brother before he 

drove away for the last time. 

He embarked from Wellington 

on April 17, 1915, but 

was killed in action in Turkey 

several months later on August 

7, aged 24. 

City council heritage 

adviser Gareth Wright said 

the death of his great uncle 

impacted on the family in a 

major way. 

“I recall my grandfather 

FOND MEMORIES: 

Lieutenant Harry Marshall 

Wright was last seen by his 

family in 1914, piggybacking 

his younger brother. 

would get quite teary when he 

talked about his older brother,” 

said Gareth. 

Lieutenant Wright’s name 

appears on a number of memorials 

around Christchurch. 

“He’s on the memorial at the 

community centre in Sumner. 

He went to Christchurch Boy’s 

High, so his name is on the 

memorial there, and because 

the family was living in Hororata 

at the time he was killed, 

he’s on the Hororata memorial 

also,” said Gareth. 

Gareth said on his trip to 

Gallipoli to visit the 

New Zealand memorial 

at Chunuk Bair, 

where his great uncle’s 

name was engraved, 

was “quite emotional.’’ 

Gareth said Lieutenant 

Wright’s ceremonial 

sword hangs on 

the wall of his father’s 

house. At his own 

home in Addington, 

his photo and some of his 

medals are displayed. 

Now, one of 21 crosses held 

by the Sumner Redcliffs RSA, 

that were displayed in Armistice 

Day commemorations to 

remember Sumner’s fallen soldiers, 

will be added to Gareth’s 

memorabilia. 

Gareth got in touch with 

RSA president Pat Boland 

after he saw an article in the 

Bay Harbour News that asked 

descendants to take their cross. 

Gareth said he is happy for 

the opportunity to collect the 

cross. “I’m very keen on my 

family history,” he said. 

He said he plans to either 

keep the cross or give it to his 

father, who can hang next to 

his brothers sword. 

A significant part of the 

Wright’s family history is that, 

like Gareth now, Lieutenant 

Wright was a part 

of the city council. 

Before he was 

enlisted, Lieutenant 

Wright was a clerk 

in the treasury department 

of the city 

council. His father, 

Sidney Wright, 

was a clerk at the 

Selwyn District 

Council. 

“It’s a small world,” said 

Gareth. 

Mrs Boland is meeting 

with the RSA committee 

this week to arrange a ceremony 

for the collection of 

the crosses. 

“We’re very delighted and 

honoured to be able to do 

that . . . we’re sure that the 

crosses will find a good home 

with their families,” said Mrs 

Boland.

VULNERABLE: Pile-driving at Lyttelton Port Company’s planned new cruise ship 

berth can cause temporary or even permanent hearing loss for the endangered 

Hector’s dolphins. 

Port not doing enough 

to monitor dolphins 

– marine biologist 


A MARINE biologist has 

criticised the Lyttelton 

Port Company’s use of a 

single observer to monitor 

Hector’s dolphins in the 

harbour. 

LPC is currently piling 

for its new cruise ship 

berth. It has promised 

to cease all pile driving 

activity when Hector’s 

dolphins come within 

450m of the berth. 

However, Otago 

University marine biology 

professor Liz Slooten said 

the majority of dolphins 

are likely to be undetected 

by a single observer. 

“With one person 

looking, you are only going 

to see a small fraction of 

the dolphins that 

are out there.” 

Prof Slooten 

said this could 

cause a lot of 

dolphins to be 

vulnerable to 

hearing loss. 

“They use 

sound for 

everything – 

that’s why people 

often say a deaf dolphin is a 

dead dolphin.” 

Prof Slooten said the 

size of the safety zone also 

makes it difficult to detect 

the dolphins. 

“The probability of 

detecting Hector’s dolphins 

drops quite significantly 

with distance,” she said. 

“At about 100m you only 

see about 60 per cent (of 

Liz Slooten 

the dolphins), and 

about 200m you 

only see a third, 

and at 400m you 

would only see 

about 14 per cent 

of the dolphins.” 

LPC strategic 

engagement 

manager Phil 

De Joux said he 

is confident its 

current plan will mitigate 

the impacts of piling on the 

dolphins. 

“We have worked at 

putting together this plan 

with a group of experts 

with years of experience 

from multiple disciplines.” 

Mr De Joux said 287 

dolphins have been spotted 

since it started piling at the 

end of last year. 

Boy racer barrier at marina 


BARRIER ARMS have 

been installed at the 

entrance to the Te Ana 

Marina car park (right) 

to prevent boy racers 

disturbing residents at 

night. 

Residents have complained 

about boy racers 

revving engines late at 

night and early in the 

morning, prompting the 

Lyttelton Port Company, 

which owns the marina, to 

install the barrier arms. 

They will remain open 

during the day so vehicles 

can access the car park and 

the Woolstore area, but will 

be closed from 9.30pm to 

5.30am. 

Marina berth-holders 

will be able to access the 

car park 24 hours a day 

using their swipe key, and 

the exit arm is automated 

so vehicles can exit at any 

time. 

LPC strategic 

engagement manager 

Phil De Joux is confident 

the barrier arms will 

bring an end to boy 

racers disturbing nearby 

residents. 

“We had previously 

employed security to keep 

them [boy racers] out, but 

now we have moved to this 

more permanent solution.”

News 

Twins keep parents on their toes 

Two years ago 

Radhika Naidu gave 

birth to identical 

twin boys, Manu and 

Dominic Wells. Emily 

O’Connell catches up 

with the family 

“CHEERFUL, PLAYFUL and 

extremely naughty.” 

That’s how Radhika Naidu describes 

her twin boys who were 

born nine weeks premature on 

January 1, 2017. 

Their early arrival meant the 

twins spent the first 57 days of 

their life in a neonatal intensive 

care unit in Christchurch 

Women’s Hospital. It also meant 

the pair were known as twin 

one and two for six weeks, while 

Ms Naidu and husband Victor 

Wells decided on names which 

included both their cultures. 

Although the two-year-olds 

are identical, Ms Naidu says they 

look “so different” and their personalities 

are not “alike at all.” 

She said Manu, who is the 

bigger twin, was the first to walk 

and develop skills and Dominic 

is more cheerful and observant 

and “takes on adverse situations 

more readily.” 

Along with the twins, Ms 

Naidu and Mr Wells are kept 

busy with two other children, 

Mia, 7, and Ariki who is threeand-half-years 

old. 

“I just don’t remember having to 

monitor them [Mia and Ariki] all 

the time like this. These guys [the 

twins] egg each other on,” she said. 

Ms Naidu says the biggest difference 

between the twins and 

her older two children is their 

comprised immunity caused by a 

premature birth. 

“Especially Dominic, so when 

he was born . . . they realised 

his umbilical cord was straggly 

and unhealthy looking and it 

had knots in it. So it had been 

comprising his blood flow from 

the beginning,” she said. 

Dominic has an eye condition 

called nystagmus, which Ms 

Naidu has been told is common 

with premature babies, and he 

has immature lung development 

meaning he gets sick easily. 

“They both have asthma and 

eczema and they use preventers. 

They seem to be a little better 

now. We’re hoping they keep 

improving,” she said. 

January 2017 was a busy 

month for Ms Naidu and Mr 

Wells, with the birth of their 

twins which “forever redefined” 

New Year’s Day for them, moving 

house and their first child, 

Mia, starting primary school. Ms 

Naidu said her husband was the 

“rock” during this time. 

Manu and Dominic aren’t the 

only ones in the family born on 

a significant day, their grandmother 

Protima Naidu was born 

on Christmas Day. 

Ms Naidu says discovering 

Mulitples Canterbury, which 

supports people with twins, 

triplets or more, has been “encouraging” 

and has helped her 

feel less isolated. 

She said the organisation 

provides new parents with 

information such as dietary

ADverTOrIAL 

Sustainability key 

to organic farming 

There’s something for 

everyone in the realm of 

organic farming but as far 

as Bill Martin is concerned, 

it’s all about sustainability. 

The Training College 

Manager at Lincoln 

University’s Biological 

Husbandry Unit Organics 

Trust (BHU) is happy to see 

a surge in enthusiasm for 

organic food production 

as younger generations 

become more aware of 

environmental concerns. 

He says the growing 

popularity of organic 

production in recent years 

means that graduates are 

now taking what they have 

learned into a broader 

range of sectors. 

“It’s not just about 

growing, wholesaling 

and retailing food anymore. They’re 

going into schools and teaching primary 

and secondary schoolers about the 

importance of sustainable farming and 

gardening and really starting to embed the 

philosophy into the education system.” 

As far as conventional agricultural 

practices are concerned, he says farmers 

should be encouraged to optimise their 

production, rather than maximise it at the 

expense of the environment. 

“We need to change our agricultural 

paradigm and re-evaluate our priorities.” 

Mr Martin says those interested in a 

career in organics should enrol in the 

one-year Diploma in Agri-Food Production 

course, which is open to students either 

with or without university entrance. 

Introduced last year, it includes Tikanga 

and Mahinga Kai components and can 

lead to employment in organic primary 

production or other sectors related 

to organics, especially education and 

hospitality. 

“The course offers a good grounding 

in the principles of organic agriculture, 

teaching the philosophies and histories 

of organics and providing practical 

knowledge of how they are applied,” Mr 

Martin says. 

Apply now for the Diploma in Organic 

Agri-Food Production and begin studying 

in February 2019. 

HEALTHY TREAT: Stay-at-home dad Matt Salmons’ daughter, Vittoria, turned 

one on Saturday. 

Vittoria’s first 

birthday party 

Grow a career 

in organics 

Lincoln University’s Diploma in Organic Agri-Food Production will prepare 

you for work in the organic sector or your own garden or smallholdings. It’s 

a full-time, one-year programme that covers the theory and practice behind 

contemporary organic agri-food production. 

Join us in February to find out what growing organically on an agricultural 

scale really means. 

Learn more at www.lincoln.ac.nz or call 0800 10 60 10. 

PHEW, WE’RE out of the 

holiday season. 

We’ve had Christmas, 

New Year and last Sunday 

we had the Feast of the 

Epiphany, when Vittoria got 

a sock full of treats from the 

Christmas Witch/La Befana 

– it’s an Italian thing. 

We didn’t manage to 

burn the traditional effigy 

but we did get in a not-sotraditional 

feast of fish ’n’ 

chips. 

Now we’re back into the 

swing of first birthdays. 

It started on Saturday 

with the most important 

one (for me and Laura 

anyway) – Vittoria’s. 

No one tells you how 

many first birthday parties 

you end up going to after 

you have a kid, but it makes 

a whole heap of sense when 

you actually think about it. 

It’s seemed like we’ve had 

one at least every second 

weekend over the last 

couple of months. 

It’s great, they’re not quite 

completely for the kids yet, 

so they still have plenty to 

keep the adults entertained 

too. 

They’re the perfect blend 

of your favourite finger 

foods from childhood, 

children’s party games 

and the opportunity for 

extremely responsible 

drinking. 

I kind of feel like we 

cheated with Vittoria’s since 

we hosted it at an early 

learning centre rather than 

at home, but we certainly 

did not skimp on the treats 

or birthday atmosphere. 

I can’t believe she’s now a 

year old. 

A little over a year ago we 

prepared for her arrival via 

caesarean at 10.31am on 

Friday, January 12. 

I’m not ashamed to 

admit that in spite of my 

unflappably stiff-upperlipped 

support of Laura 

through the operation, I 

was a blubbering wreck as 

soon as I saw Vittoria. 

Just under a week later 

we brought her home. She 

was such a quiet wee thing, 

mostly sleeping. 

VITTORIA 

& Matt 

It was terrifying and 

exciting. I feel like I’m 

getting pretty good at 

parenting, which is good 

because she is no longer 

quiet or prone to sleeping. 

In fact over the last few 

days she decided she didn’t 

need three naps a day 

anymore, as she is a big 

girl now. She also worked 

on polishing her tantrum 

abilities and showed signs 

of getting picky with food 

(shudder). 

But she’s still just as keen 

on cuddles as she’s ever 

been, is laughing a lot, and 

is always curious about the 

world around her. 

I hope those things don’t 

change for a long time to 

come.

A POPULAR ute has 

caught the attention of 

thieves. 

Toyota Hiluxes are being 

stolen in large numbers 

across Canterbury. 

In Christchurch last 

year, 133 were stolen and 

more were taken in the 

Selwyn district and North 

Canterbury. 

Acting Canterbury 

district commander 

Inspector Peter Cooper 

said due to its popularity, 

the ute is being “routinely 

targeted” by thieves. 

Older models may also 

be stolen for parts, he said. 

In 2017 and 2018, the 

Hilux was the second best 

selling new vehicle in New 

Zealand. The top 

selling vehicle was 

the Ford Ranger 

ute. 

The theft of 

Hiluxes has also 

been an ongoing 

problem in 

Selwyn and North 

Canterbury, police 

said. 

Rangiora 

Sergeant Colin Stewart 

said there was a 

“significant increase” in 

Hilux thefts in the area 

about two months ago. 

“We go through stages

where it appears they 

target Hiluxes. There is 

a market out there – it’s 

where people are 

buying parts from 

dubious characters,” 

he said. 

But the situation 

has improved since 

a police operation in 

Belfast two months 

ago, Sergeant 

Stewart said. 

Rolleston Senior 

Sergeant Pete Stills 

said the theft of Hiluxes 

has been a “constant 

issue” in Selwyn. Police 

recommend people 

secure their vehicles in a 

garage or fit them with an 

immobiliser or alarm. 

In spite of the police 

warning, the Hilux does 

not feature in the top

SAFE: Make sure you check all your boating equipment, including life jackets, 

regularly for any sign of wear. 

‘If in doubt, throw it out’ 

• By Gary Manch 

I DON’T know whether 

it’s an age thing, but the 

summer holiday break 

seems to come around a 

lot quicker than when I 

was 16. 

One thing I am certain of 

is that our summers appear 

to be arriving later and 

later, and climate change is 

certainly having an effect. 

With greenhouse 

warming, our ozone layer 

is getting thinner. 

How does this affect us as 

boaties? 

To put it simply, it’s like 

wearing sunscreen to stop 

getting burnt. 

Over time life jackets 

and other safety equipment 

exposed to the sun 

on a regular basis can 

deteriorate and break down 

and the equipment will not 

function to the high safety 

levels required. 

So the million dollar 

question is, how to prevent 

this happening? 

It’s simple really. Firstly, 

do what none of us ever 

do – okay some may, 

but how many of you

better of you – you should 

follow the manufacturer’s 

instructions in relation to 

how to look after your gear. 

Secondly, check your 

equipment regularly 

for any sign of wear, or 

breakdown of material, and 

use the old saying – ‘if in 

doubt, throw it out’. 

When you compare the 

cost of your boat, jetski, or 

paddleboard to the cost of 

the safety equipment you 

require, it’s minimal. 

Many years ago, Bell 

Helmets, which are known 

for quality helmets in the 

motorcycling world, had 

a saying and this can be 

translated to many other 

areas where safety is 

paramount. 

It went: “If you have a $10 

head, wear a $10 helmet.” 

New Zealand Post, which 

is a joint operation with 

Kiwibank, will also close on 

January 30. 

But NZ Post is still 

planning to provide postal 

and bill payment 

services in Eastgate 

through an agency. 

Head of retail 

Mark Yagmich 

said it is working 

on shifting postal 

services to another 

local business and 

hopes to be able to 

announce who the operator 

will be later this month. 

The Kiwibank closure

Lastly, a big thank you

It’s great to see good 

compliance in this area.

QE II tops list for ‘code browns’ 

• By Sophie Cornish 

CITY COUNCIL staff were kept 

busy last year with 167 ‘code 

browns’ closing pools across 

Christchurch. 

In spite of only opening on 

May 31, Taiora: QE II Recreation 

and Sport Centre has taken out 

the ‘most poops’ title with 71 

code browns and 33 vomiting 

incidents. However, in defence 

of the new facility, it has seven 

pools. 

The second biggest complex, 

which has five pools, is Jellie Park 

Recreation and Sport Centre. 

But its outdoor pool also closes 

during winter. 

QE II has been popular since 

opening and on 30 occasions 

a one-in, one-out policy has 

been applied to customers when 

maximum capacity has been 

reached. 

City council head of recreation 

sports and events Nigel Cox 

believes QE II has the most 

closures due to a significant 

number of younger swimmers 

who enjoy the multiple play 

spaces. 

Meanwhile, Graham Condon 

Recreation and Sport Centre, 

with four pools, had 47 code 

browns and 20 vomiting 

incidents – two more than 2017, 

SURPRISE: Taiora: QE II Recreation and Sports Centre took 

the unwanted title of most code browns in 2018 from Pioneer 

Recreation and Sport Centre which topped the list in 2017. 

when there were 46 and 19 

respectively. 

Jellie Park had 13 code browns 

and 17 vomits – less than the 21 

and 21 recorded in 2017. 

Pioneer Recreation and Sport 

Centre, which saw the highest 

number of code browns in 2017, 

had a much better 2018. There 

were only 34 code browns and 

six vomiting incidents in the last 

year – compared to the 57 and 26 

in 2017. 

The city council provides 

tips on its website on how to 

ensure its pools stay open, 

offering pointers for parents and 

caregivers who should take extra 

care when accompanying a child 

to the pool. 

The tips include allowing 

food to settle before swimming, 

making sure your child has been 

to the toilet before entering the 

pool and reminding your child 

that it is okay to get out of the 

pool to go to the toilet during 

swimming lessons, just let their 

tutor know. 

If the water in the pool does 

not meet the required quality 

standard, the pool has to be 

cleared of swimmers then treated 

and cleaned. 

Cleaning times vary for 

different pools and facilities. It 

can range from 40min for a spa 

pool to 12hr 40min for a lane 

pool.

steering feel. Providing the 

grip are high quality Michelin 

Primacy tyres (225/50 x 17in), 

and they have a solid footprint 

with the road surface. 

Skoda has sprung the Octavia 

Scout with softish settings, but 

because there is little weight in the 

vehicle and with a low centre of 

gravity – the Scout is only 1.5m 

tall – there is little handling tradeoff, 

comfort and ability has been a 

high manufacturing criteria. 

Yet there is another surprise 

with the Scout, it has fourwheel-drive. 

With just 171mm 

of ground clearance, it can’t be 

considered an off-road vehicle, 

however, I took the test car onto a 

cross-country track to take photos 

and was impressed with its 

suspension control and in-cabin 

comfort over some gnarly bumps 

and ruts. I can see it as a good 

alternative to the mainstream cars 

which tackle the skifield access 

roads over winter. 

Not only did I put the Scout to 

good use during the time it was in 

my care, but it also reinforced my 

desire for the 2-litre diesel engine. 

Sadly, not enough Kiwi buyers 

warm to diesel, and I still can’t 

quite figure that out. The Scout 

in this form would certainly 

be a car I would consider as a 

functional form of daily transport 

and at $48,990 how could you go 

wrong?

THE PAPANUI-I nes 

Community Board has taken the 

rare step of starting a petition 

to figh the city council over 

funding. 

Signatures are being co lected 

in a bid to get funding for a community 

facility in Shirley. 

It comes after the city council 

removed funding for the centre 

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the 

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This 

was the site of the former community 

centre, which was badly 

damaged in the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. 

The removal of funding 

prompted community board 

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten 

to stan down, citing it as her “die 

in the ditch” project. 

Ms Jone said the board’s role 

is to represen the community, 

and by gathering signatures from 

residents, it was fulfi ling that 

role. 

“One of the roles of a community 

board is to represent and act

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave 

Rock Apartments ar expecting the 

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off 

on a se tlement agr emen this w ek. 

Body corporate chairman Mike 

White said the group had gone 

into mediation with IAG and EQC 

on February 20, and signed off 

on a deal with IAG on February 

2 – coincidenta ly seven years 

to the day after the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. However, they 

are waiting for EQC to sign the 

agr ement. 

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted 

the agr ement, there’ l be no 

problem with them doing that.” 

The apartment suffere damage 

in the February and June, 20 1, 

earthquakes and were demolished in 

late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the 

difference betw en indemnity value, 

$10 mi lion, and the sum insured, 

$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body 

corporate. 

The mediation agr ement 

prevented Mr White from disclosing 

the se tlement amount, but he said it 

involved the two parties paying “a bit 

more money than they’d wanted to 

earlier.”

Bu the Banks Peninsula Community

The changes are designed to try 

and reduce the crash rate.

signs and raised centre line pavement

April. 

The work i scheduled to take
