Antarctica<br />
Bottle store plan shelved<br />
on a kayak<br />

They will travel to Antarctica, via<br />
South America on a One Oceans<br />
Expeditions vessel. Once there, they<br />
will have the opportunity to explore<br />
the region in kayaks with help from<br />
guides and Dawson.<br />
“Going to Antarctica is incredible<br />
but being able to kayak there will<br />
be even more amazing . . . it means<br />
we’ll be able to get up close to the<br />
landscape and wildlife,” said Miss<br />
Archibald.<br />
As she counts down to the trip,<br />
her focus is on training and ensuring<br />
she has the right gear.<br />
“I’ve been enjoying kayaking<br />
around Banks Peninsula over the<br />
summer. However, the warm temperatures<br />
have been very different<br />
to the polar conditions in Antarctica,<br />
and one of the expedition’s<br />
biggest challenges will be managing<br />
the extreme cold while kayaking –<br />
ideally I’ll get my layering techniques<br />
right.”<br />
As a self-described storyteller,<br />
Miss Archibald was drawn to the<br />
nature of the expedition, which<br />
combines the chance to experience<br />
new landscapes and wildlife.<br />
On her return, Miss Archibald<br />
will share her story with the Pasifika<br />
community, schools, tertiary<br />
institutions and community organisations.<br />

“The application remains<br />
under appeal unless formally<br />
withdrawn by the applicant,”<br />
she said.<br />
The Oaks Village Halswell<br />
developer Roger Bridge would<br />
not comment on whether the<br />
contract to purchase the bottle<br />
store has been cancelled.<br />
Residents’ association<br />
chairman John Bennett<br />
described the news as “a bolt of<br />
lightning.”<br />
He said it was getting<br />
organised for the appeal but the<br />
hearing wasn’t until late May.<br />
“The community was<br />
definitely not in favour of the<br />
bottle store. If that is the case<br />
they will be very happy,” Mr<br />
Bennett said.<br />
Mrs Gibbons said if the<br />
application had proceeded<br />
she would have appealed the<br />
opening hours of 9am-11pm<br />
daily. Mrs Gibbons said it<br />
was very satisfying to see the<br />
application was granted, and<br />
the initial licence and ruling<br />
acknowledged they are good<br />
operators. The decision granting<br />
the application said Mr and Mrs<br />
Gibbons had the experience to<br />
safely sell alcohol.<br />
“The information we received<br />
HALT: Bottle-O has decided not to open a store at the The Oaks Village Halswell complex.<br />
from a notable solicitor said<br />
that the majority of problems<br />
presented into evidence were<br />
related to an on-licence and The<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Quarry Bar & Bistro, not an offlicence,”<br />
she said.<br />
