Further tension over wharf structures
• By Louis Day
TENSION BETWEEN fishermen and
the city council continues over nonconsented
structures on Akaroa wharf.
In July last year, the Banks Peninsula
Community Board gave Black
Cat Cruises three months to remove
all non-consented structures, such as
disability access ramps, seating, signage
and canopies.
But the two ramps still remain
nearly three months after they were
meant to be removed.
Akaroa Fishermen’s Association head
John Wright said the disability ramps
were not even being used to cater for
the disabled.
“If there was a disabled person trying
to enter the building they couldn’t. The
ramps that they say are for the disabled
are not being used for that reason, they
are being used for drying and airing
the boots and wetsuits.”
The use of the ramps as an area to dry
wetsuits and other clothing not only
impedes the entrance of the building but
is also in breach of orders made by the
Banks Peninsula Community Board in
June to keep the ramp clear at all times.
“It looks like we have got our knives
into Black Cat, that’s not the case at all,
we just want the rules the council put
in place enforced.”
Black Cat Cruises chief executive
Paul Milligan understood that the
boots blocking the disability ramp were
not a good look.

from the editor’s desk
IT’S GREAT to see young people
succeeding and on page 4 today we have a
good example.
Thirteen-year-old Zoe Elmey is making
every post a winner with her burgeoning
gift card and baby product business, and
even has Jacinda Ardern as a fan. The prime minister has sent
her a message of thanks.
Zoe has always had a penchant for arts and crafts and like
others with sporting talent, for example, she has excelled at a
young age. The world is Zoe’s oyster when it comes to business, I
suspect. This venture will no doubt be a stepping stone to bigger
and bolder plans.
Not such good news for the delay in getting Tug Lyttelton
back on the water for tourists (page 3).
The port needs it.

“The boat is fine, everything

We are just waiting on the final

Mr Bruce said once the
paperwork has been completed,
it could take up to three weeks
to prepare the boat for passenger
cruises.
“If we get the sign-off at the
end of this week, we will have to
reheat the boiler. That’s going to
take five to six days to do, then it
is going to take a few days to get

Teen’s gift card business booming
Baby gear
impresses
Jacinda Ardern
• By Louis Day
SUMNER 13-YEAR-OLD Zoe
Elmey has sold more than 4500
gift cards featuring her own
designs, with the prime minister
being her most notable recipient.
Zoe sent some of her cards,
and bibs and teething rings
from her baby product range to
Jacinda Ardern as part of the
prime minister’s Christmas card
competition.
The former Sumner School
student was astounded when she
received a letter from Ms Ardern
thanking her for the gifts.
“It was amazing I didn’t expect
anything back, I thought it was
just going to add to the pile of
things she probably receives.”
Zoe started the business when
she was 10, since then her cards
have been sold in 22 stores across
the country as well as a shop in
Eastbourne, south-east England.
She has 26 different designs
which feature on various pieces
of artwork.
Fifty per cent of the proceeds
of a turtle card are donated
to Greenpeace to help them
continue to protect turtles from
plastic pollution.
She has also recently started
her own baby range which was
inspired by the arrival of her
newborn sister Hollyanne.
“I made so much stuff for her,
I was knitting and sewing and I
just loved the bibs and the teething
rings so I just started selling
them.”
Zoe sews all of the baby bibs,
burp cloths and material covering
her teething rings by hand,
which can take up to 20min.
“I’m probably different to the
usual teenager hanging out at the
beach and stuff. Basically, any
free time I have after school I’m
sewing and working on the baby
range.”
Zoe’s mother Becky Nisbet
CREATIVE: Zoe spends a lot of her free time sewing the items

said she had shown potential
from a very young age.
“When Zoe was at pre-school
she would spend all day doing
arts and crafts and making
presents for me when other kids
were in the playground and
sandpit.”
Ms Nisbet said she started
the business for her daughter to
encourage her to pursue a career
in art.
“My older sister was good at
art and my parents pushed her
into graphic design and away
from art, I wanted Zoe to do
something she loved and not just
something that makes money.”
Zoe and her mother were
forced to move house to accommodate
her booming business.
“We had boxes of her cards
all through the living room and
especially with having a baby
I got a bit fed up with that, so I
wanted a house that had an office
for her.”
Zoe’s business boomed after
her mother would show her
cards to gift shops while they
were on holiday.
“I just can’t help myself, we go
into the shop and just show them
the cards and they either show
an interest or not, they often do
though.”
Akaroa Dolphins Shop’s
Natalie Stuart said Zoe’s cards
were extremely popular with
customers.
“People come in and are
astounded that the cards were
made by someone so young, they
sell like hot cakes.”

Fire rages, homes at risk

CRAYFISH POTS continue to

But there is debate over
whether they are being stolen,
run over by boats, or simply
being lost at sea.
Murphy’s on the Corner fish

However, Jason Wright, a
fisherman of more than 20 years,
said he didn’t think the craypots
were being stolen.
He believes vessels are simply
running them over. It was also
normal for craypots to get lost at
sea and he says he would lose at
least six pots a year.
“It’s just the way it is,
everyone loses gear, you’re
sticking something out in the
ocean you’ve got no control
over.”
Akaroa Police Senior
Constable Anita Osborne has
asked members of the public to
report any suspicious behaviour
to police.
Cr Turner said discussions
on the disability ramps were
ongoing and a report would be
presented to the Banks Peninsula

DANGEROUS: The tram shelter on Main Rd will remain closed

Moncks Bay tram shelter
deemed a quake risk
• By Louis Day
THE MONCKS Bay tram
shelter will remain closed due to
earthquake risk.
The 85-year-old building on
Main Rd has been closed
since Christmas Eve.
A recent assessment
indicated the condition of
the roof has compromised
the structural integrity
of the shelter, leaving it
vulnerable to quakes.
City council transport
operations manager
Steffan Thomas said he
was not sure how long the shelter
would be closed, or how much it
would cost to repair.
Redcliffs Residents’ Association
secretary Pat McIntosh was
frustrated to see the historic
building deteriorate.
“We have been asking them
[city council] to repair the shelter
for at least the last year.”
Linwood-Central-

Board member Darrell
Latham said it is vital the
shelter be reopened as soon
as possible.
“The Moncks Bay tram
Darrell shelter is an iconic building,
Latham well-used by bus patrons
and coastal pathway
walkers alike. It is very sad to
see that it is fenced off. However,
public safety must always be the
first priority,” he said.

EXCITED:
Vittoria
opening a
mini-mountain
of presents.
Big day out for
first birthday
OUR WEE lady is a year
old. Far out.
Her first birthday was
awesome and a big day for
all involved, starting with
her baptism at St Mary’s
Pro Cathedral.
Being unbaptised myself
and never having been to
one, I was really worried
about what I would have
to do.
It was actually a really
nice and easy experience.
The priest was really good
and it was special to be able
to share the experience
with another family also
baptising their one-yearold
daughter.
In spite of being super
wriggly these days, Vittoria
managed to behave herself
right through. She didn’t
even squirm when the
priest applied the holy
water to her forehead and
only talked over him a
handful of times.
My sister-in-law Sarah
and best mate Codey had
both kindly made the trip
from Australia for her
baptism and birthday.
And to take on the
responsibility as Vittoria’s
godparents, something
that’s quite a big deal for
Italians.
For Vittoria’s party itself,
Laura was lucky enough
to win us the awesome
prize of having it hosted at
Baby Sensory. With games,
songs, toys, bubbles and
even a baby-sized bouncy
castle.
The prize even included
a custom cake. I’m not sure
we’ll be able to top it next
year.
Including Vittoria, there
were 13 babies around the
age of one. It was like the
cutest swarm of locusts
you’ve ever seen, watching
them mob the most
popular toys.
In the words of her
new godmother, Vittoria
rocked her party. She was
everywhere and non-stop.
I loved watching her
have so much fun with
her friends and there was
plenty of full body smiles
coming from Laura as she
watched, so I knew we felt
the same.
VITTORIA
& Matt
Vittoria’s day finished
by opening the minimountain
of presents and
getting way too excited
before bed with her brand
new paddling pool/ball pit.
A very lucky girl indeed.
Sunday was, by necessity,
very relaxed. Bubs even
managed an early night
and a full night’s sleep. A
real birthday treat for her
parents.
With her birthday
behind us, it’ll be smooth
sailing for a few months, so
to speak.
Soon we’ll be back into
the routine, with all the
play groups, swimming
lessons and such starting
up from this week on.

3000 sign Dark Star petition
• By Louis Day
THE PETITION to extend
the statutory building
approval of the Godley
House site, which is
currently owned by Dark
Star Ale House and Cafe,
has received more than
3000 signatures.
The petition on
change.org calls for the
sites statutory building
approval to be extended
“until such time as new
services are built on the
Godley House site” to
attract a new business to
take over from the Dark
Star when it closes in
March.
Owners of the Dark Star
Ale House and Cafe will
present the petition to the
Banks Peninsula Community
on February 4.
Co-owner Martin Richardson
said the petition
was more about a business
filling the gap left behind
by the Dark Star rather
than him and his wife being
able to sell the site.
Mr Richardson said
they had tried to sell the
business, but the limited
time remaining on the site’s
building approval had put
potential buyers off.
“If the petition isn’t accepted,
it would mean there
isn’t that venue anymore,
which means there is a
massive hole in the community.”

Andrew Norris
Making a career out of fighting fires
Governors Bay Volunteer
Fire Brigade chief Andrew
Norris marked 30 years
working at the Fire and
Emergency New Zealand
communications centre.
Louis Day caught up with
the veteran shift manager
Where did you grow up?
I was born in Lyttelton
and grew up there. I went to
Lyttelton West School and then
Hagley High School. I moved to
Governors Bay about 22 years
ago.
Tell me about your family.
I come from a large Lyttelton
family. I am one of seven kids,
my father worked on the wharf
for the Lyttelton Harbour Board
as a crane driver. My mother
died when I was a young kid. I
am married to Rita, who is the
school secretary at Lyttelton
Primary School, and I have got
a daughter Anita who works at
Ferrymead Pharmacy. I also have
a son Alex.
Alex works in communications
alongside me, he is on a different
watch but he works in there.
Both Anita and Alex are also
volunteer firefighters like myself
in Governors Bay. Anita has been
a volunteer for six years and Alex
has been one for three years.

The man you call when there’s a fire
•From page 9
What do you love about your
job?
I suppose even though we are
doing the same thing all the time,
there is a lot of variety and it’s
almost like a game of chess where
you are allocating fire crews to
jobs and moving others around
to maintain coverage.
How has the service changed
over the last 30 years?
Technology. When I started it
was a pen and paper operation
and we controlled just the
mid-Canterbury area. Over
the years, other control rooms
have closed down and we now
cover the whole South Island.
We are one of three control
rooms in New Zealand and we
are fully computerised, with
vehicle tracking systems and a
massive street database and we
are now co-located with police
and ambulance in the new
Emergency Services Precinct.
Was it hard adapting to the
new technology?
Not really because it has been
quite gradual and I had the
benefit of being a bit younger
then, but it was certainly hard for
the older people who were there
at the time. But now it is just
second nature for people.
How many years do you plan
READY TO GO: Members of the Governors Bay, Diamond Harbour, Lyttelton, Waikuku, West Melton and Bottle Lake fire brigades
during an annual training day at the Governors Bay Fire Station.
to stay with Fire and Emergency
New Zealand?
I plan to stay in Fire and
Emergency for another 10 years
until retirement.
What do you plan to do in
your retirement?
If I live that long Rita and I
enjoy travelling in our caravan
and just hovering around
at home and I enjoy being a
volunteer firefighter as well. After
retirement, I plan to continue to
volunteer as a firefighter. At the
moment, I’m the volunteer chief.
I will probably step down from
that role in the near future, but
I plan to just stick around in a
support capacity because I enjoy
hovering around at the station,
doing maintenance and testing
equipment.
What would you like to see in
the brigade’s future?
I suppose it is on the right
track in the way that it is aiming
for full integration of rural and
urban fire services. I would like
to see that completed with full
equality. Everything about the
service is really good, but we still
have a way to go to complete that
process. Also, I would like to see
a better working relationship
with Civil Defence.
Would you say your
colleagues are like a second
family?
Certainly in the volunteer
side of things we are. At the
communications centre, we have
a good working relationship and
we know a lot about each other’s
families. But due to the fact we
work 12-hour shifts together,
with the same people, the time
apart is also very important to
maintain healthy relationships.
You imagine sitting with a
colleague, a couple metres
from them 12 hours a day, 48
hours on the trot, and then
spending time outside of work
as well, sometimes it can be a bit
overwhelming. So that time apart
is definitely important.

Genevieve
Robinson
of Maui and
Hector’s
Dolphin
Defenders
shares her
concerns over the impact
piling for the new cruise
berth in Lyttelton Harbour
is having on Hector’s
dolphins
EIGHT YEARS ago, when I
moved north to Christchurch,
I had little knowledge of the
Hector’s dolphin, or of its
endangered status.
When I received word that
the local dolphin population
was at risk from the impacts associated
with pile-driving noise
at Lyttelton Port, I jumped in
my car to hear the metallic,
echoed drone.
Marine scientists often
compared the underwater noise
levels of pile-driving activities
for marine mammals, to that of
a gunshot at close range.
Often deafening, and often
frightening.
It’s a known fact, that during
past piling operations at the
port of Lyttelton, scientists
noticed behavioural changes in
the local dolphin population.
Individuals fled, were displaced
into areas of greater risk,
and barely echolocated to other
pod members.
Which brings me to my main
areas of concern for this new
cruise berth project.
Since LPC’s marine-based
piling commenced in November
2018, 287 Hector’s dolphins
have been spotted within
its 450m observation zone.
Now, that might seem like an
abundance of healthy little dolphins,
but what scientists and
researchers see, is a substantial
increase in risk.
Lyttelton Port Company’s
new Cruise berth design includes
a combination of both
marine, and land-based piling –
with 400 piles driven, in total.
Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi
Dolphin concern continues
As part of its Marine Mammal
Management Plan, LPC
has included trained observers
to spot dolphins before, during,
and after piling activities.
But where this plan falls
short, is just how many trained
observers there are on-site –
one.
Although spotting dolphins
from a distance, is pretty
much “hit and miss,” the more
observers operating in one
shift, or even in rotation, means
less of risk to Hector’s of either
physical, or behavioural
Lyttelton is one of only five
industrial harbours in the
world to be graced with the daily
presence of dolphins, and is
the only port to host the world’s
smallest dolphin species.
LPC’s unsophisticated mitigation
and monitoring planning
leaves it wide open to the
scrutiny it often deserves.
Might I finish with one final
request? Where on earth is the
test-pile sound data requested
more than four months ago,
and the C-pod analysis?
Lyttelton Port
Company chief
executive Peter
Davie responds to
Genevieve
Robinson’s
concerns and
provides an update on how
the new cruise berth is
progressing

Fire rages, homes at risk
LPC HAS worked with some of
New Zealand’s leading experts
from Cawthron Institute, Blue
Planet Marine and DOC to develop
ways to minimise the potential
impacts and manage the risks.
This is set out in our 25-page Marine
Mammal Management Plan,
which has been developed after
months of meticulous research by
some of New Zealand’s leading marine
mammal experts and advice
from DOC.
One of the key mitigation measures
is the 450m exclusion zone
around the piling where if a dolphin
is seen then piling cannot start,
or must stop, until they leave the
area. Observers, who are from Blue
Planet Marine, an independent organisation
who specialise in marine
mammal observation, are present
before, during and after operations
at the site, and have attended and
passed a DOC-approved marine
mammal observer course.
This course is designed for the
seismic industry where a single observer
is expected to spot mammals
within a 1500m exclusion zone
from the deck of a ship in a rolling
sea. Our observer has a much
easier job, only having to observe
a 450m zone from fixed, elevated
platforms on the construction site.
The number of observers is dependent
on the visibility conditions.
In normal visibility conditions,
there is one observer. However, if
conditions deteriorate, an additional
observer will be added in a second
separate observation location. If
conditions are defined as poor
visibility and it is so bad that it is difficult
to see in the zone, then piling
ceases until conditions improve.
Between December 7 and 19,
observers spotted 287 Hector’s
dolphins, 219 of which were inside
the 450m zone. None of these were
spotted while piling was under way
suggesting experts assessments
were correct, and during piling
dolphins avoid the immediate area,
returning once piling ceases.
We also paused starting piling 20
times, after dolphins were spotted
in the zone during pre-piling
processes. Operations only commenced
once the dolphins had
moved on.
Our hydrophones are also in
place and collecting data. LPC
has developed excellent working
partnerships with some of the
leading marine mammal and
acoustic experts. We will work
with those experts to publish
the results and findings of our
extensive monitoring programme
and research. Following this, the
underlying data will be available for
public use.

UNSETTLED: Governors Bay residents guide llamas Echo and Lily back to
their farm on Zephyr Tce.
Llama drama in Governors Bay
• By Louis Day
IT TOOK seven people to
contain two llamas which
escaped from their farm in
Governors Bay.
Governors Bay resident
of 22 years Gail Weaver
said she was quite surprised
to see two llamas
running around at the bottom
of her driveway.
Mrs Weaver said it only
took twenty minutes to
reunite the two stray llamas
with their herd.
“They were very good, I
don’t think any of us had
to touch the llamas at all,
we just encouraged them
in the right direction,
they were very happy and
docile. Somebody was also
in a car and parked across
the road to stop them from
going downhill.”
The two llamas, Echo
and Lily are now safe and
sound with the rest of their
herd.
“When we got them up
to the field, a lot of other
llamas came up to them
and greeted them.”
Owner of the llamas
Simon Gurnsey said Echo
and Lily were apparently
unsettled after shearing
from the previous week.
Mr Gurnsey did not wish
to speak further with the
Bay Harbour News.
Mrs Weaver said the way
residents pulled together to
help had a lot to say about
the Governors Bay Community.
“Governors Bay is a
good community full of
good people that will help
others.”
School construction on track
• By Louis Day
REDCLIFFS SCHOOL is
on track to be completed
by 2020.
The relocation of the
sewer main and removal
of remaining vegetation
was completed over the
Christmas holidays.
The foundations of the
new school are now set
to be put in place so construction
can begin.
Redcliffs School principal
Rose McInerney said
she was delighted to see
the new school start to
come together.
“The school is the heart
of the community and it
always has been, so it’s
kind of like bringing the
heart back.”
The school has been
based in van Asch Deaf
Education Centre in Sumner
for the last seven and a
half years after the school
was damaged in the 2011
earthquakes.
The relocation of the
school to the old Redcliffs
Park site has prompted a
reshuffle of the local traffic
system.
Mrs McInerney acknowledged
the impact
that this would have on
Redcliffs residents.
“I’m very aware that
change is hard for a community,
but for us, as a
school, we are so excited
because in one years time
we are going to be back in
our own community.”
Woolstore close to being filled
• By Louis Day
THE EMPTY Woolstore
building on Lyttelton’s
Te Ana Marina is close to
being filled.
The Woolstore has been
empty since it opened in
October, with residents
growing frustrated that it
has not been filled with a
restaurant, cafe or shop of
some sort.
Lyttelton Port
Company marketing manager
Simon Munt, however,
said the building was close
to being filled.
“We are currently in final
discussions with a wellrespected
tenant with a
track-record of creative developments
who will bring
a range of exciting retail
and hospitality offerings to
the remaining space in the
Woolstore building.”
Mr Munt said they
expected to make an announcement
in the near
future.
Lyttelton Community
Association chairman Ken
Maynard was disappointed
it was taking so long to fill
the building.
“It is a good pedestrian
access to the waterfront,
about the only one we have
got in fact, and a lot of people
get down there and you
have got this great big empty
old warehouse. What we
do have is a caravan selling
sausage rolls and as good
as those sausage rolls are,
we could probably do with
something a bit more than
that.”

This sun-drenched and spacious
character home combines classic styling
with modern conveniences, while
benefiting from being low maintenance
and permanent material.
Quietly tucked away on a peaceful rear
section and surrounded by greenery you
will find the situation extremely private
and restful.
The kitchen has been upgraded with new
engineered stone benchtops and is central
to the open plan living area. High ceilings
create an enhanced sense of space which is
heated by a gas fire. French doors provide
a seamless indoor-outdoor flow onto a

bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The
downstairs bedroom has the option to be
used as an office, guest or second living
room. A double internal access garage
provides security and there is off street
parking.
Buyers will immediately recognise the
inherent value in the quality of both the
home itself and the desirable location
being walking distance to schools, park,
the beach and Sumner shopping village.
An executive home like this is hard to
find but easy to own. With our owners
having committed to a move onto the hill,
the time to act is now!
