Latham hits back at council bosses
• By Julia Evans
COMMUNITY board member
Darrell Latham has hit back
at city council bosses over the
ongoing code of conduct issues.
Yesterday, Mayor Lianne
Dalziel and city council chief
executive Karleen Edwards said
they were “disappointed” in the
response of Linwood-Central-
Heathcote Community Board
member Dr Latham, Coastal-
Burwood Community Board
chairwoman and deputy chairman
Kim Money and Tim Sintes,
who formally withdrew from
the code of conduct process in
November.
Ms Dalziel and Dr Edwards
said they are now considering the
next steps they need to take.
“There has been ample
opportunity for this to be
resolved,” Dr Latham said.
“We advised them in November
that we are withdrawing and
they’re considering their next
steps now.”
The board members and city
councillor David East, have
been facing code of conduct
complaints since September over
an allegation city council staff had
tampered with the District Plan.
The omitted clause gives leeway
to people in specific coastal areas,
deemed at risk of flooding, to
build and extend homes.

from the editor’s desk
IT LOOKS like the lawyers will continue
to gain from the ongoing code of conduct
matter involving Darrell Latham, and
other community board members from
across the estuary.
On page 1 we report city council chief
executive Karleen Edwards and Mayor Lianne Dalziel are
weighing up their response to the latest development in the saga.
That will certainly involve more legal advice, which will come
at a cost. It stands to reason the city council took legal advice
over the matter initially, which Latham and co’s lawyer says was
wrong.
But there will be even more to come out of this. It appears
the legal opinion given on the matter means community
board members may in fact not be subject to code of conduct
complaints. Interesting.

opened three years ago. Lyttelton
Seafarers’ Centre Charitable
Trust chairman Reverend John
McLister said the money will
help ensure it could continue to
provide seafarers with assistance.
STATION WORK TO START
Remediation of the Little River
railway station is on schedule to

Latham ‘disappointed’ it took legal advice to understand rights
•From page 1
As a result of their outspoken
comments, Greater Christchurch
Regeneration Minister Megan
Woods approved the city
council’s proposal to amend
the District Plan under section
71 of the Greater
Christchurch
Regeneration Act.
Legal advice from
former Ombudsman
Leo Donnelly who
works for high-profile
law firm Chen Palmer
found community
board members are not
bound by the council’s
code of conduct under
the Local Government
Act 2002, which led
to the group
withdrawing.
Dr Latham said he
was “disappointed”
it took getting legal
advice for the group
to understand their
rights.
“All community
board members within
the Christchurch City
Council should be fully
aware of their rights
. . . there hasn’t been
that disclosure.”
The legal advice would set a
Karleen Edwards
precedent for other community
board members around the city
and the rest of the country, he
said.
Ms Dalziel and Dr Edwards
would not comment on Cr East’s
code of conduct complaint as the
process is ongoing.
The code of conduct
sets out the standards
of behaviour expected
from elected members
of the city council.
Penalties from code
of conduct complaints
range from a request
for an apology to
resignation.
“We stood up and
did the right thing
by our community.
A code of conduct
agreement is about
doing the right thing
and we did the right
thing,” Dr Latham
said.
The legal advice was
sought by the New

group that fundraised
money for the New
Brighton Pier and
continues to lobby for the area.

The work will be done at night.
The cable will be pulled through
the exhaust ventilation duct

“It’s the longest 11kV cable pull
in Orion’s history, and gravity

Bid to get pedestrian

REDCLIFFS residents

The Redcliffs Residents’

to city council for the
crossing.
There is currently no
provision for a crossing at
the entrance of the park in

Pat McIntosh said the
crossing would be essential
to ensuring the safety of
pedestrians.

“Barnett

pedestrian crossing.
“This is an issue that has
been raised previously

of concern.”
Dr Latham said
crossing the road to
get into Barnett Park
without a crossing
posed a serious risk to
pedestrians.
“Fifty per cent of

Our People
Steve Lowndes
Travelling the world paved way
Environment Canterbury
chairman Steve
Lowndes, who lives
in Birdlings Flat, is
not planning to run in
October’s local body
elections. Sophie
Cornish speaks to him
about life after local
politics, Brexit, and
family
The ECan elections are
coming up this year and I
understand you may not be
running again, is that correct?
Yes, that’s my position at the
moment. It is never finally settled
until the time for nominations
to close, but at the moment, that
is what I am thinking. I will be
73 at the time of the election, I
would be 77 by the end of the
next term. I feel fit and well
enough but on the other hand
I really think a person younger
than me needs to take the lead.
There is nothing wrong with
being old, you have a degree of
wisdom and all those sorts of
things that are invaluable in local
government. But, the world is
changing very quickly and there
are a lot of very tough decisions
that need to be made. I am very
much aware that young people
are getting very concerned about
their future. It is they who need
to step up and get engaged in
local government. When I say
young, we have a councillor
Lan Pham. She’s terrific. She
brings an attitude and energy
which is inspiring to the
council. There are other younger
councillors too. I think it would
be better to step aside and let
somebody younger take over.
What will you do instead with
your time?
I have never been frightened of
time. I have done all
sorts of things in my life and
being frightened of time isn’t
one of them. I can paint, I can
write, I can do all sorts of things.
Nothing is ever really over, the
fact that I stepped down from
ECan doesn’t necessarily
mean I will completely leave the
public forum. I have no plans at
all. It is a wonderful space to be
in, where you don’t have to worry
RELAXED:
ECan
chairman

Lowndes at

about your future.
Tell me about the beginning
of your career – how did it all
begin?
I was born and educated in
England and I went to art school
in the 1960s. My first job was as
an art teacher. After a little while
of that I thought: ‘Oh my god
am I going to be doing this for
the next 45 years?’ That sort of
freaked me out a little bit. So I got
a cargo boat to South America. I
ended up living there for a year
and a half year, mostly in Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil. I really enjoyed the
experience. From there I travelled
over land through South America
and Central America and the
Caribbean and the United States
and eventually arrived back in
England. And I thought: ‘Oh
well that was good.’ My ambition
then was to carry on. So I began
working in England again, as
a publican, which meant that I
could save money. I did that with
my partner Lisa Potts and then we
set off on a huge journey which
basically took us around the
world.
Where did you travel to?
We went through Russia,
Afghanistan, Iran, around India
and ended up in Australia. On
our trip, we only took one tiny
aeroplane flight; the rest was by
truck and train. Australia was
very kind to us; we both became
Australian and lived there for a
while. Then we got a boat across
the Pacific and it called in at
Auckland. That was my first
experience of New Zealand, in
1974. Then our boat carried on
and went through the Panama
Canal and back to Europe. I
then lived in England again and
thought we would go travelling
once more. So we got a plane to
New York and brought a car then
started driving around the US.

for chairman’s role at ECan
We had all sorts of adventures
in the US and Canada. We ended
up in San Francisco. At that point
Lisa became pregnant and a
friend Robyn we were travelling
with said: ‘Why don’t you go to
New Zealand, it’s a great place
to have kids’. So we did that. In
retrospect it is hard to imagine
that we didn’t head home, but no,
we came to New Zealand. We arrived
and brought a van in 1979
and started driving around. We
ended up in Akaroa and Lisa saw
the hospital there and said: “This
is where I will have the baby.”
Julian is now nearly 40-years-old.
He has a sister Alicia and they
both live in Australia, one in Sydney
and one in Melbourne. Lisa
and I split up in about 1998 and
my partner now is Susan
Morrow. We live at Birdlings Flat
and have been here for 20 years.
Tell me about your life living
in Akaroa?
The peninsula for me was representative
of a community, I had
spent 13 years travelling around
the world, community was something
I didn’t have, I didn’t belong
somewhere. Akaroa had a population
of about 700 people, a little
more than it does currently. It was
a self-sustaining little community
based on farming and fishing,
quite different to what it is today.
It was really a holiday destination
for Cantabrians, before it was
discovered by international tourists,
that began to happen in the
mid-1980s. Now, it is somewhat
overrun by cruise ships. It’s not
quite the same place it was in the
1970s, which is what attracted me
to it, a part from the fact it was
devastatingly beautiful. When you
went to live there, people were delighted
to know you had chosen to
live in that community, so you felt

part of it straight away. I started
off as a builder’s labourer, building
an extension to the school. I
gradually started to do work at the
Akaroa Museum and eventually
the curator retired and I was hired
to curate the collection. I was
there for about 15 years. I ended
up being chairman of the Museums
Association of New Zealand.
What happened next?
Then I became a Banks Peninsula
district councillor, with a
gentleman named Bob Parker and
we disbanded ourselves. The district
council wasn’t bankrupt, but
it was heading that way. There was
only about 7000 ratepayers which
wasn’t enough when we had to pay
for all things tourism. We tried to
amalgamate with city council, but
the people of Christchurch said
no. They didn’t want to take on
Banks Peninsula. So we decided
to vote to abolish ourselves and
the city council had no option
but to take over, this was in about
2005-2006. I stood for the city
council in 2006, and was defeated
by Claudia Reid. Then I started
painting, which is where I began,
by going to art school in the first
place. In 2016, someone said to be
why don’t you stand for ECan in
the election. You may recall that
in 2010, the Government took
away the commission of the elected
members of ECan and replaced
them with seven commissioners.
That continued for two terms of
local government until 2016. Then
ECan was opened up to partial
democratic elections. The chairwoman
Margaret Bazley finished,
so that left six ex-commissioners.
There were seven elected members
and six were remains of the old
appointed councillors and that
situation still remains. When the
council convened for the first
time, they voted for David Bedford
into the chair, he was
one of the councillors. Unfortunately,
David wasn’t very well and
he died in February of last year.
For some time he had been unable
to fulfil his role. I had been elected
deputy chair and I became the
acting chair until he resigned and
then I was elected into the chair
role.

ECan chair not frightened by time
•From page 7
So the role for me has been one
of managing the council back
to full democracy, which will
take place in October. A thing I
have been keen to do is see that
climate change becomes front
and central of ECan’s thinking.
That has come about with the
newly-elected people who arrived
on council in 2016, they have
made a huge difference.
What did you learn from your
travelling experiences?
I feel sometimes that all the
roads I have travelled have led
to this point. So I have a huge
amount of experience of the
world at large and of different
kinds of people and how to deal
with them. I find all the skills I
learnt while travelling fit me very
well for the role of managing
a great number of people who
have very different and distinct
interests. It is really about people.
A Maori proverb that helps to
describe me politically is – He
aha te mea nui o te ao He tangata,
he tangata, he tangata. What is
the most important thing in the
world? It is the people, it is the
people, it is the people. People are
the same everywhere all around
the world, it doesn’t matter if
you meet an Indian on the banks
of the Amazon River or an
TALENT: Steve Lowndes has a love of art, especially painting.
American senator, we all laugh,
we all cry, we all smile. It’s the
universality of people. We are all
the same species.
How does living in England
compare to living in New
Zealand?
I have been here for 40 years,
my immediate family in England
has died, I have a few cousins
left, I write to them. England
is about the same size, but the
population of New Zealand is
what the population of England
was at the time of Henry VIII.
Now you have to imagine the
same land mass, with nearly 60
million people. It is nothing like
New Zealand. Last week, Sue and
I went to Jackson’s Bay, down
south. We stayed in a bach which
had no power, no connectivity.
When you walked to the beach,
there are no other houses, and
there is an absolutely stunning
empty landscape of mountains,
oceans, beaches. You would
have to go a long way in Britain
to find that, maybe in the north
of Scotland. It’s a completely
different experience living
here. It is one where we relate
very much to the land. At the
moment with Brexit, the English
have got themselves into a cleft
stick. They have this incredibly
binary situation to deal with,
half of them think they should
stay in the common market and
fight and the other half thinks
they should flee. Human beings
always have that decision, when
confronted with a situation, fight
or flight. It’s such a basic division
in our minds, I think that is
basically what is happening
with Brexit. So, I don’t envy the
English at all. I can’t even begin
to contemplate how I feel about
England anymore, because it
seems to belong to another era.
In the future when climate
change really begins to kick in,
New Zealand is wonderfully
placed to survive the worst
effects. We are surrounded by
ocean which takes away the
worst effects of heat, we can feed
ourselves, Australia can’t, Europe
can’t, 90 per cent of the world’s
population lives in the Northern
Hemisphere.
Tell me about your
family?
Julian, my son, works for
Skope, a Christchurch company
that makes refrigerators. He
manages their operations in
Australia. He has a son, who is
6-months-old. Alicia works for
an advertising agency called The
Monkeys, living in Melbourne
but she is going to come back
to New Zealand. She managed
to buy a third of a house in
Auckland in Pt Chevalier she’s
going to come back next month.
I am looking forward to her
coming back. My partner Sue’s
daughter Evie also lives in Pt
Chevalier, so those two are very
close.

Exponents’s video for
Victoria in 1983 to
mentoring a young Marlon
Williams, Lyttelton
resident Al Park has been
a part of the Christchurch
music scene for 40 years.
To celebrate Park’s contribution
to music in the
region, Lyttelton musician
Delaney Davidson has
produced a new album,
Better Already – The Songs
of Al Park.
The album features
covers of Park songs
by Christchurch musicians
including Marlon

many wheels, a hand in
many helpings, a voice of
wisdom in many thinkings
and wonderings,” McGrath
said.
Park’s career soared in
the 80s as the frontman of
Louie and the Hotsticks.
He set up Al’s Bar in
2006 on Dundas St until
the building was damaged
in the February 22, 2011,
earthquake, as well as
founding the city’s first
punk venue, Mollet St.
But more recently
Park has been nurturing
young talent including
Adam Hattaway, who he

Players lured away from Bays’ squad
• By Gordon Findlater
FERRYMEAD BAYS have
been hit by a poaching raid
from second-tier Christchurch
United, which is offering match
payments and bonuses.
Several Bays’ players have
snubbed the Mainland Premier
League for the Canterbury
Championship
League. Bays
coach and former
All White,
Danny Halligan,
is also a defector
to Christchurch
United.
Danny
Halligan
Halligan
would not
discuss match
payments and bonuses with Bay
Harbour News last week.
“It’s not about money,” he said.
“Players have a right to decide
where they want to play. I left
Bays on good terms and I’m
not aware of any animosity
anywhere.
“The carrot for the players is
the excitement of a new challenge.
They can see if Christchurch
United can get promoted
into the MPL then they’ve got
the facilities and organisation to
be a really strong club again,”
said Halligan.
One of the new Christchurch
United recruits told Bay Harbour

United are giving it a good shot
and have enticed people, which
is good for them, but we’re the
ones who are affected by it.”
Cashmere Technical coach
Dean Hutchinson said he understood
Christchurch United had
aspirations in wanting to return
to the MPL.
“On one hand that’s a good
thing, but it’s an amateur league
so if it is true that they’re directly
paying players, then Mainland
[Football] have to do something
about it,” said Hutchinson.
Mainland Football chief
executive Julian Bowden says
SPORTS
it’s not unusual for players and
managers to move around clubs,
which can create rumours.
But as an amateur league there
are rules around player payments.
Of a Christchurch United
recruit telling Bay Harbour News
players would receive a $500
promotion bonus, Bowden said:
“That’s something we would
probably want to talk to the club
about.
“Players can be reimbursed
for expenses. If any players at
any clubs were getting income
it would be to reimburse things
like gear, travel expenses or
physio appointments,” said
Bowden.
“Under FIFA criteria, players
can be reimbursed up to a
certain level. There’s some principles
around that in the national
league and those principals flow
down into our regional league.”
Former Canterbury United
and MPL stalwart Stu Kelly
– whose Halswell United side
have seen their CCL promotion
chances drop with Christchurch
United’s new additions – said
players being paid is nothing new.
“In the rules you can’t [pay
players] but nobody’s tracking it.
In the North Island it’s been even
worse over the years, “ he said.

Sumner make strong
start to two-day
cricket competition
Sumner club
captain
Dan Vann
reports on
how their
first XI
cricket side
performed
during the first day of
their two-day clash
against Lancaster Park
SUMNER hosted Lancaster Park
on Saturday as they returned to
two-day cricket.
After two very narrow losses
to Lancaster Park in the one-day
and T20 competitions, they knew
this would be a tough encounter.
Sumner won the toss and
bowled first and, in spite of
Lancaster Park getting off to
a very fast start, three early
wickets, all taken by opening
bowler Nawid Mohammady
(3-29) meant Sumner were able
to apply some pressure to the
Lancaster Park batsmen.
Lancaster Park managed to
rebuild somewhat before the
introduction of Jonny Percasky
(5-42 off 16 overs) and Dan Vann
(2-50 off 14 overs), who managed
to tie down Lancaster Park down
and take the remaining seven
wickets to have them all out for
175. In reply, Sumner made an
excellent start, losing their first
wicket at 40 and their second at
70. At this stage, Sumner were
looking in control. But a small
stumble saw three quick wickets
fall and, at 79/4, things were back
in the balance.
Brett Taylor (68) and I
combined to put on 30 runs to
steady the ship again. When my
wicket fell for 27 with the score
at 130, Taylor decided to put the
foot down and counter-attacked
with some outstanding striking.
Sumner ended the day on 209 (34
runs ahead).
We were very pleased with how
we played today. At times we
were put under pressure but we
responded well to it.
Lancaster Park are a very
strong team and we get on well
with them off the field so it was
nice to have a good start. But we
will need to play well again next
week to take the outright win.

Des Lyon day raises $5000
• By Louis Day
SUMNER CRICKET Club
raised about $5000 during its
Des Lyon day.
Club captain Dan Vann said
they would have a more accurate
total once money from raffles
had come in.
The Presidents XI fell to the
Club Captains XI in the premier
match of the day, which included
current Canterbury Magicians
Nat Cox and Erin Bermingham.
The junior match kicked off
the day before Sumner Rugby
Club battled it out with an Invitational
XI.
The day was in
commemoration of life
member Des Lyons, a man
who contributed a considerable
amount of his time to sports
clubs across Sumner.
ALL SMILES: Aaron
Stanley-Joblin of the
Invitational XI raises the Shag
Rock trophy after beating the
Sumner Rugby Club XI.
“He was always involved in
a lot of different sports clubs
across Sumner, he was the guy
who would do the grounds,
would help with coaching, so
it made sense to have a day in
his memory when he passed
away.”
Mr Vann said the money
raised would go towards ground
costs, junior equipment and
general running costs.

RISK: The Port Hills fire of 2017. National list MP Nuk Korako
urges people to be alert during the high risk summer period.
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER
Be careful with fire
Port Hills
National
list MP Nuk
Korako
reminds
people to be
wary of fire
risk during
high temperatures and
discusses the true meaning
of Waitangi Day
THE NEW year and summer’s
heat is baking us all – it really is
something else.
I hope you’ve managed to make
the most of the summer break
however long or short it may have
been for you.
The beaches around Sumner
and Taylors Mistake have been
busy with families enjoying the
sea and surf as well as the kids
enjoying Scarborough paddling
pool.
I remember our boys loving the
paddling pool and playground
when they were little and when
they were older they moved
towards rugby on the beach and
surfing.
With the heat our Port Hills are
extremely dry and we should all
be vigilant around fire safety as
well as be alert for anything that
can happen at any time.
You’ll remember the devastating
Port Hills fires so I really
encourage you to have plans in
place for you and your family for

School holidays are over and
the roads are once again busy. I
want to wish all the best to those
students and teachers who have
returned to school, and especially
the youngest new entrants just
starting out on their formal
education. May you all have a
fantastic year in the classroom.
Today is Waitangi Day – a day
for discussion, a day for remembering,
and a day for moving
forward.
Waitangi Day is a day to celebrate
where we have come from
as a country. It’s a chance to renew
the shared values that make
us, not only a unique country,
but the best country to live in the
world.
While the main celebrations
are at Waitangi itself, the Treaty
has signatories from all over New
Zealand including Akaroa. The
Treaty isn’t about a place, it’s
about people – it’s not a location,
it’s an agreement.
Waitangi Day is a day of
whanau and community, a coming
together of Māori and Pākehā
to celebrate an event that defines
us as a nation.
So enjoy your day off work and
enjoy in the spirit of Waitangi.
I will be at Waitangi this year
supporting our leader and the
National Party.

YOU KNOW that friend you
have that’s always eyeing up
what’s on your plate? They don’t
actually ask for anything, but
you eventually cave under their
longing stare.
Our darling little Vittoria
has begun mastering that art at
a young age and has taken it a
step or two further.
Unless she’s already asleep
when we eat, she’s out on patrol.
She wanders over, all cute smile
and wide eyes, to point at our
meal and say “ooook.”
If you won’t sacrifice a little of
what you’ve got, she steps it up.
A couple more “oook”s come
out before she starts fake crying.
Increasing the volume until you
give in.
Laura is her normal target,
she’s a soft touch, but me and
guests are also fair game when
needs be.
Now don’t think we aren’t
feeding her. Her little escapades
always happen after her own
meal and she’s expanding her
outlook to include all three of
the main meals of the day, as
well as snack times.
I haven’t eaten a full slice of
toast in a week.
On Tuesday I took Vittoria to
Willowbank with some friends.
Because of the timing, I took
along a packed lunch for both
me and her. Hers was flash;
Bolognese, fresh avocado and
rock melon for dessert.
My lunch of two sandwiches
literally came in a bread bag.
#bubseatsbetter.
I knew when she was getting
hungry, because she started
running her “oook” scam on
her friend’s mum to get some
of their banana, while we were
walking.
When we sat down to eat, she
gobbled up her meal, some her
friends rusk, some of my cheese,
a bit of my sandwich and then
demanded (and received) some
of my rock melon.
I can’t refuse her, of course
and it’s all healthy, so no big
trouble there.
There’s no point in
complaining about her
rapacious appetite anyway, she
inherited it from her parents.
Besides, she’s a growing
young lady and all that. Plus a
full day of animal excitement
meant she fell asleep before I
had my dinner.
