as planned 

Timely reminder of ‘one small step’ 

• By Julia Evans 

FIFTY YEARS ago mobile 

phones and Facebook didn’t 

exist, music was on vinyl not 

Spotify, and man had just 

landed on the moon. 

It was Monday, July 21, 1969, 

and Lyttelton’s Fred Tunnicliffe 

worked at The Christchurch Star. 

Closing in on the 50th anniversary 

of United States astronauts 

Neil Armstrong and Buzz 

Aldrin landing on the moon in 

July, Mr Tunnicliffe’s collection 

of posters has surfaced. 

He kept the four posters, 

which were placed outside 

shops for four days after the 

landing. 

“Why wouldn’t I keep them? 

. . . it was an amazing part of 

my life,” Mr Tunnicliffe said.

ANZAC DAY services across the 

Bay Harbour News area will go 

ahead. 

Banks Peninsula RSA president 

Jim Coubrough said the Akaroa 

and Little River services were never 

cancelled in spite of media reports 

saying they were. 

“There was a misunderstanding 

but that is not important, the important 

thing is that they are going 

ahead,” he said. 

Canterbury rural area commander 

Inspector Peter Cooper 

said there was unlikely to be a police 

presence at any of the services 

across the peninsula. 

“There are over 60 events and we 

just can’t do them all,” he said. 

However, Inspector Cooper did 

not feel that any services needed to 

be cancelled. 

“All of our discussions with organisers 

have been to continue but 

just be aware that we won’t be able 

to be there.” 

Both services will also receive 

support from the city council. 

“We will continue to provide 

previously agreed support services 

for both the Little River and 

Akaroa services as we have done in 

the past,’ said city council civic and 

international relations manager 

Matt Nichols.

GREAT TO see Anzac Day services will go 

ahead (page 1). 

There has been a lot of confusion across 

Canterbury, and more specifically for the 

Bay Harbour News area, over what services 

might be cancelled. 

Police say they need to have a presence at events this year 

because of the mosque terror attacks. You have to applaud police 

for that. 

But it would have been a travesty if services and parades were 

cancelled, so a good outcome all-round. 

Those men and women who have served New Zealand deserve 

to be honoured. 

We have another snapshot into the past also on page 1 today – 

newspaper posters from the moon landing in July 1969. A lot has 

happened in the 50 years since.

Buses new problem in Akaroa 


A GROUP OF apartment 

owners in Akaroa are embroiled 

in another dispute with the city 

council – but this time it is not 

over toilets. 

The unconsented temporary 

toilets at Britomart Reserve, 

which the Bruce Waterfront 

Apartments owners 

threatened to take 

legal action over, 

were removed on 

Monday at the 

end of the cruise 

Prudence 

Steven 

Steffan 

ship season. The 

city council failed 

to gain resource 

consent for the 

placement of the 

portacom toilets. 

But the body 

corporate is now 

getting advice from 

lawyer Prudence 

Steven on the 

Thomas 

buses which park outside the 

apartment building. 

A body corporate spokesman 

said the apartment owners were 

not consulted before a “bus 

transfer station” was set up on 

Beach Rd outside the building. 

“There are usually six (buses) 

parked outside there in the 

morning from as early as 6.30am 

and they arrive with their 

PARKED UP: The Bruce Waterfront Apartments (inset) body 

corporate is in a dispute with the city council over buses 

parking outside its building. 

engines running, diesel fumes 

wafting into the apartments 

and of course when they are 

jockeying into position they 

are beeping and honking while 

people are trying to sleep and 

then they let the air brakes go,” 

he said. 

The spokesman said the buses 

have been an issue for about 

eight years since cruise ships 

started visiting Akaroa. 

City council transport 

operations manager Steffan 

Thomas does not believe the 

buses are parking illegally. He 

said the city council followed all 

appropriate procedures when 

allowing the buses to park there. 

“The parking restriction 

alteration for the temporary 

coach parks is authorised 

through the acceptance of a 

temporary traffic management 

plan submitted on behalf of the 

cruise ship agent,” he said. 

However, the body corporate 

wants the buses to park at the 

Akaroa Recreation Ground. 

This could mean cruise ship 

passengers would have to walk 

1.3km from the main wharf to 

reach their bus. 

Akaroa Village Inn owner 

Darren Angus said this would 

have a negative impact on the 

local economy. 

His business is located next to 

the apartment building. 

“Business owners on this end 

of town make a lot of money 

from the buses, the coffee 

shops, the restaurants, the 

souvenir shops. If they were all 

moved from this end of town, 

half of Akaroa would suffer 

dramatically because people 

would not be hanging around 

this end as much,” he said. 

He said the buses had little 

impact on his guests. 

“I have only received one 

complaint in the last four 

months.”

THE MONCKS Bay 

Tram Shelter could be 

open before the end of 

September. 

City council manager 

of transport operations 

Steffan Thomas said the 

peer review for the design 

for repair has now been 

completed. 

“Design, procurement 

and construction 

timeframe is approximately 

5-6 months. We endeavour 

to have the Moncks Bay 

Tram Shelter open, at the 

latest, by the end of 

September, if not 

earlier,” he said. 

The 85-year-old 

building on Main 

Rd has been closed 

since Christmas Eve 

after an assessment 

indicated the 

condition of the 

roof had 

compromised the 

structural integrity of 

the shelter, leaving it 

vulnerable to quakes.

Tug Lyttelton’s licence 

too late for passenger 

cruises this season 


TUG LYTTELTON has been 

given the all-clear to carry 

passengers. 

However, it has come too late 

for the 112-year-old vessel to hold 

a passenger cruise this season. 

The tug has been issued its 

certificate of survey, which is a 

subset of requirements for the 

passenger service licence. 

Tug Lyttelton Preservation 

Society head stoker Mike Bruce 

said the first passenger cruise 

in more than three years would 

happen in October at the start of 

next season. 

“I’m frustrated it took so long 

but at the same time absolutely 

thrilled that we can take her out 

and enjoy her. That’s what it is all 

about, getting out in the sea, the 

feeling of camaraderie you get 

on board with the crew and your 

mates,” he said. 

The passenger cruise was 

originally scheduled to take 

place in December but was 

pushed back to January and then 

February and then to next season 

due to delays with the passenger 

service licence. 

The preservation society is now 

struggling financially as it has not

held a passenger cruise in more 

than three years. 

“We are under extreme 

pressure, we are going for some 

grants, some of the members are 

supporting us, but we have just 

got a bill for our public liability 

insurance for $6000, we just don’t 

have the money to pay for it.” 

The hull of the vessel also needs 

repainting, which is expected to 

cost about $20,000. 

FUNDING: An artist’s impression of the planned Akaroa Health Centre, which may be paid for 

through a targeted rate. 

Majority of Akaroa supports 

health centre targeted rate 

AN ANALYSIS of public 

submissions suggests the 

majority of Akaroa ratepayers 

are willing to pay a targeted 

rate to fund the new Akaroa 

Community Health Centre. 

The Akaroa Community 

Health Trust asked city council 

to provide it with a grant of up 

to $1.3 million and suggested 

the city council recover the 

money through a targeted rate 

on all properties within the 

Akaroa subdivision of the Banks 

Peninsula Ward. 

The targeted rate would be 

an annual fixed charge which 

ratepayers would have to pay on 

top of their normal rates. 

The city council has spent 

the past few weeks consulting 

residents in the Akaroa and Bays 

area about the proposed targeted 

rate. 

In that time 811 submissions 

have been received, with 74 

per cent in support of paying a 

targeted rate. 

Twenty-five per cent of the 

submissions opposed paying a 

targeted rate and one per 

cent did not indicate a 

preference. 

Submitters were also asked 

if they would prefer to pay the 

targeted rate for a four or 10-year 

period. 

Fifty-three per cent of the 

submitters said they would 

prefer a four-year period, 

while 35 per cent indicated 

they would prefer a 10-year 

period. The remaining 12 

per cent did not indicate a 

preference.

Taylors, Sumner lifesavers awarded for rescue 

TAYLORS MISTAKE and 

Sumner surf life saving clubs 

received the national rescue of 

the month award on Thursday. 

The award recognises operational 

excellence by surf lifeguards 

around New Zealand. 

The winners receive a $500 

BP gift card and a citation, and 

become finalists in the BP rescue 

of the year award. 

The award was given to a combination 

of Taylors Mistake and 

Sumner lifeguards for a rescue 

they performed in January. 

On January 3, lifeguards 

responded to a call that a young 

male had fallen off the cliff face 

at Taylors Mistake beach. 

Eight lifeguards from Taylors 

Mistake responded, with assistance 

from Sumner Surf Life 

Saving Club, to make sure the 

person had the best chance of 

survival in spite of being in a 

critical condition after a 10m fall 

onto rocks near the beach. 

Taylors Mistake’s Tisha 

Jamieson, Craig Jamieson, Mike 

Smith and Patrice de Beer, all 

rushed to the scene to help. 

Sumner’s highly-skilled 


THIS IS what the new Taylors 

Mistake Surf Life Saving clubrooms 

will look like. 

Club president Ken Jones was 

hopeful work on the $3 million 

project would start by the end of 

the year. 

“If we can do it earlier we will but 

we are reliant on a smooth process 

with the council on the approval of 

the building consent application,” 

he said. 

Working drawings for the new 

clubhouse are currently being designed 

which will be submitted for 

building consent. 

The new building will be built in 

place of the old one which will be 

demolished. 

The old clubhouse was red-stickered 

after the 2016 Valentines Day

emergency call-out squad team 

including Kate Suter, Melissa 

Patterson, Eden Cotter and Tom 

Denman also launched their 

inflatable rescue boat to assist, 

however, due to the low tide, 

lifeguards were able to reach the 

patient on foot over the rocks. 

The team from Taylors Mistake 

then worked quickly with 

paramedics, police, the local rescue 

helicopter and an off-duty 

nurse to stabilise the patient 

allowing him to be winched 

away from the rocks and incoming 

tide, onto the beach, before 

being airlifted to hospital. 

Surf Life Saving New Zealand 

Southern Region manager Chris 

Jeffery said this was another 

example of the wide range of 


skills volunteer surf lifeguards 

have, particularly the advanced 

first aid skills that make 

them “valuable assets to the 

community, even away from the 

beach.” 

“The surf lifeguards that 

responded to this rescue are 

some of the most experienced 

at Taylors [Mistake]. They have 

invested a lot of their own time 

upskilling both in lifeguarding 

abilities and first aid, and we 

couldn’t have had better people 

on scene to help,” he said. 

At the time of the rescue, police 

had high praise for the lifeguards 

involved, and made special mention 

of their skills, including the 

ability to clear a safe landing area 

for the helicopter and the way 

they integrated their first aid expertise 

into the response without 

requiring guidance. 

The Taylors Mistake Surf 

Life Saving Club also took out 

second place in conjunction 

with the Sumner club where 

they were awarded an additional 

$300 of BP gift cards for another 

rescue which was completed in 

January. 

Work on clubrooms likely to start at end of year 

earthquake rendered its previous 

stop-gap repairs unsafe. 

Since then the club has had to 

operate out of three portacom 

buildings. 

The temporary facilities, which 

cost the club about $95,000, include 

a first aid room, a patrol and 

administration room, and a smoko 

room. 

Mr Jones said the new clubrooms 

would be a “healthier and cleaner 

environment” than the temporary 

facilities the club is currently operating 

out of. 

“At the moment you can’t have 

the whole family come over whereas 

we will have a facility where 

everyone can be involved.” 

Mr Jones said specific details for 

the new building would become 

clearer once the working drawings 

were finalised.

Clock tower tenders 

under evaluation 


THE CITY council is 

currently in the process of 

evaluating tenders for the 

repair of the Scarborough 

Clock Tower. 

“The evaluation team 

will seek clarification of 

tender information and 

costs where required, prior 

to determining if we have 

received an acceptable 

tender,” said city council 

head of parks Andrew 

Rutledge. 

The city council wants 

to appoint one contractor 

to undertake the repairs of 

the Scarborough and New 

Brighton clock towers as 

part of their cost-saving 

strategy. 

Scaffolding on the clock 

tower in Sumner has been 

up since February last year, 

costing ratepayers $1500 

per month. 

This has been a source 

of frustration for Sumner 

residents.

because of their lack of 

management.” 

Sumner Community 

Residents’ Association 

chair Tanya Michael 

said they had received 

conflicting information 

over the repair of the clock 

tower from the city council. 

“We know of several 

residents who also have 

had confusing responses 

to clock tower repair time 

frames,” she said. 

Linwood-Central- 

Heathcote Community 

Board member Darrell 

Latham said he was not 

happy with how repairs 

were progressing. 

“We were advised by 

the city council head of 

parks Brent Smith in 

February last year that 

construction work to fix 

the clock and tower would 

commence in March or 

April 2018. I am concerned 

about the period of time 

that the scaffolding has 

been in place around the 

clock tower,” he said. 

Man on moon posters come to light

Mr Tunnicliffe said 

there were 3000-4000 

people lined up outside the 

Kilmore St building to get 

their copy of the newspaper. 

In 2008, the retiree painted 

a work of all four posters 

and Neil Armstrong landing 

on the moon. 

“I painted it a long time 

afterwards and I don’t 

know what prompted me,” 

he said. 

“But it turned out better 

than I thought.” 

Mr Tunnicliffe has also 

painted a series based 

on the Christ Church 

Cathedral before and after 

the earthquakes.

Archeology Week: Story of Lyttelton 


Archaeology Week runs 

from April 27 to May 5. Over 

the next two weeks, the 

New Zealand Archaeological 

Association will highlight 

some of Lyttelton’s history.

Behind Lyttelton’s red 

rock walls 

With the reopening of the 

Lyttelton-Sumner road, another 

link has been restored in the 

story of Lyttelton’s distinctive red 

scoria retaining walls. Extensive 

archaeological investigation of 

the walls after the earthquakes is 

filling in the picture further. 

“The walls tell a rich story of 

19th and early 20th-century 

Lyttelton,” says Heritage New 

Zealand area manager Christine 

Whybrew. 

In the early days, Lyttelton 

was even more challenging to 

get around than it is today. The 

steep hillsides were cut by gullies 

which were thick with mud in 

wet weather. Early roads were 

made by slicing a section out of 

the upside of the hill. Landslides 

were a problem. 

One of the archaeology reports 

quotes a Press article from 

1920, probably about a site on 

Brittan Tce: “A visit to the place 

yesterday showed the road to be 

in a very dangerous state. The 

outside footpath and several feet 

of the road have fallen down the 

cliff face, and the area has been 

roped off by the council staff … 

unless the council is immediately 

supplied with sufficient cement 

to carry out the work there is 

every prospect of a landslide on a 

large scale taking place.” 

Most of the early walls, 

from the 1860s to 1919, were 

built by hard labour prisoners 

from Lyttelton Gaol, who used 

rectangular or square blocks of 

stone and laid them in rows. 

“From post-quake archaeology 

we know that many rocks were 

cut to size on site, because a 

number of the walls were backfilled 

with scoria rubble off-cuts,” 

Dr Whybrew said. 

Later walls were constructed 

in a random ‘crazy paving’ 

style, some by Great Depression 

relief workers in the 1930s. 

Unusually, one such wall was 

back-filled with dozens of faulty 

bricks. Archaeologists found 

three different maker’s marks 

on the bricks: “PW” for Prisk 

and Williams, which operated 

a quarry and brickworks in 

Corsair Bay from at least 1874; 

“P” for Prisk, which continued 

to run the brickworks after 

his partnership with Williams 

ended; and a mysterious “JJ”. Did 

this “JJ” perhaps take over after 

Prisk stopped operating early in 

the 20th-century? Speculation 

suggests that the bricks came 

from a brickyard clearance. 

Post-quake, a massive effort 

has seen many of the significant 

walls within Lyttelton reclad 

with locally-sourced red scoria 

salvaged from walls which 

collapsed in the earthquake or 

were later deconstructed. These 

include walls in London St, 

Sumner Rd, Brittan Tce, Dublin 

St, Coleridge Tce, Oxford St 

and Voelas Rd. Canterbury St 

and Rippon St remain on the 

council’s priority list for red rock 

resurfacing. 

Heritage New Zealand said the 

city council’s decision to source 

the rock locally has ensured the 

colour and texture is historically 

accurate. 

“Part of the hillside on Sumner 

Rd was blasted to form a quarry 

for red stone in the 1860s, and 

we know there were at least 

four quarries along the route by 

1864,” said Dr Whybrew. 

“In the 1890s, the Lyttelton 

Borough Council actually gave 

landowners free red scoria stone 

from the Sumner Rd so that they 

could build retaining walls on 

private land facing a road.” 

In the search for rock for 

recladding, the council once 

again turned to Sumner Rd: 

“Staff on the road project worked 

with stonemasons to identify 

red rock and basalt of the right 

quality, which had to be stored 

until the re-engineered retaining 

walls were ready,” said city 

council senior planner Heather 

Holder-Lunn. 

Meanwhile, Lyttelton residents 

themselves donated more than 

400 sq m of red rock pieces in 

the 2017 Great Lyttelton Red 

Rock Hunt. 

Walls in more detail 

•Voelas Rd started as a private 

road from Godley Quay. The 

Lyttelton Borough Council took it 

over in 1897. The name “Voelas” is 

from the North Wales childhood 

home of Charlotte, wife of John 

Godley. The Press reported in 

1863 that a proposal had been 

accepted to build a wall around a 

well in Voelas Rd using the hard 

labour gang. This is likely to be 

HISTORIC: 

These 

three 

ceramic 

jars were 

found 

behind a 

wall in St 

Davids St, 

Lyttelton, 

along with 

fragments 

of plates, 

bowls, tea 

cups and 

saucers. 

the wall near 19-27 Voelas Rd. 

It was an ashlar-style wall more 

than 70m long and up to 3m high. 

The repair work exposed a 

layer of brick at the top of the 

wall in a few places, which 

appears to be part of the original 

footpath. The archaeologists 

were able to identify the bricks 

from a backwards “P” marked 

on one of the bricks. They 

concluded that the bricks 

were probably made locally by 

Lyttelton manufacturer, James 

Prisk, in 1915 or later. 

•Webb Lane was originally 

a private road, and does not 

appear in street directories until 

1973. The road is named after 

the prominent Lyttelton family. 

Three Webb brothers arrived 

in Lyttelton in 1859. They were 

fruit dealers and served on 

the Lyttelton council, two of 

them as mayor. One of the next 

generation, Eric Norman Webb, 

was the magnetician on the 

1911-14 Australasian Antarctic 

Expedition (led by Mawson). The 

red scoria wall on the corner of 

Webb Lane and Voelas Rd has 

now been dated to the late 19thcentury. 

•Park Tce was originally part 

of the current Governor’s Bay 

Rd, and only named separately 

in 1921. Cressy Tce was part 

of the Old Governors Bay Rd 

that was formed in 1865. The 

red scoria wall on the corner of 

Park and Cressy Tce is in 20thcentury 

‘crazy paving’ style. The 

quake repairs revealed unusual 

back-fill – dozens of old bricks 

that had warped, cracked and 

bloated during firing. 

•St Davids St. The 

deconstruction of the wall outside 

59-61 St Davids St revealed 60 

separate items that archaeologists 

catalogued. These were typical 

of 19th and 20th-century sites in 

Lyttelton and included broken 

ceramics, mostly from plates 

and bowls; pieces of glass, such 

as black beer bottles and pickle 

jars; rusty metal, including a 

1910 English halfpenny, bones 

butchered from sheep and cattle; 

shellfish remains; and part of a 

smoking pipe. 

The archaeologist concluded 

that the items were not dumped 

by a single person at the same 

point in time. The report states 

“the assemblage appears to be 

an accumulation of material 

over time. Given the scatter of 

the artefacts within the natural 

clay, it is likely the artefacts 

were discarded as a result of 

opportunistic rubbish dumping 

activity by the occupants of 61 

St David St in the garden and 

backfilling activity during the 

construction of the retaining wall.” 

•Brittan Tce is one of 

Lyttelton’s original streets, 

first mentioned in newspapers 

in 1852. It was named after 

William Guise Brittan, one of 

the founders of the Canterbury 

settlement and commissioner 

of Crown lands. The wall near 

the eastern end of Brittan Tce, 

holding up the beginning of 

Cressy Tce, was probably built by 

the hard labour gang, and had 

been extended at some stage. 

•Ripon St is one of Lyttelton’s 

original streets and appears on 

the 1849 plan of Lyttelton drawn 

by Edward Jollie. 

The wall towards the west 

end of the street was probably 

built in, or after, 1919. The 

scoria blocks vary in size from 

50-500mm in width and height. 

These blocks were concreted to 

the stone rubble backfill behind 

the wall. The fill is red scoria and 

basalt, probably off-cuts from 

shaping the blocks on site.

Noises that you 

may not know damage 

your hearing 

advERToRial 

Hearing is an important part of everyday life, yet most 

people don’t realise when they are damaging their ears. 

our new Ferrymead Clinic 

Causes of hearing loss include infections, 

ageing, and brain injury, but one of the most 

common is noise exposure. Noise-induced 

hearing loss (NIHL) can develop after one 

occurrence of extreme noise exposure or after 

listening to very loud sounds over time. 

Everyone has tiny hair cells in their inner ear 

(cochlea) that vibrate and send an electric 

signal to the auditory nerve, allowing you to 

hear. Different groups of hair cells interpret 

different sound frequencies. Over time, if 

enough of these hair cells are damaged or 

broken, hearing loss results. 

Here are ranges of sounds you probably didn’t 

know could affect your hearing: 

85 – 100 dB (It takes 6 to 8 hours before 

causing damage) 

• Heavy traffic 

• Window air conditioner (close to you) 

• Noisy bar 

• Hair dryer 

• Motorcycle 

• Squeeze toy (close to ear) 

• Subway car (passing) 

• Music player at max volume 

110 – 180 dB (It takes one to 30 minutes 

before causing damage depending on level) 

• Music concert (located near speakers) 

• Thunder 

• Emergency vehicle siren 

• Balloon popping (close to ear) 

• Rowdy stadium crowd 

• Firecracker 

• Safety airbag 

• Jet plane take off 

How to prevent hearing damage 

The simplest way to avoid developing noiseinduced 

hearing loss is to pay attention to 

sound volume wherever you go. Listening 

to levels below 85 dB can help you preserve 

your hearing. If a sound is too loud, don’t stay 

around long enough for it to cause damage. 

When in doubt, you can always use hearing 

protection. 

If you’re worried that you may have a hearing 

loss caused by noise exposure, you can call 

House of Hearing, located on 987 Ferry Road 

in Ferrymead. 

We provide a wide range of hearing including; 

• Hearing tests 

• Hearing loss consultations 

• a range of hearing aids 

• Ear wax removal 

• Hearing aid batteries 

• Hearing aid servicing 

• Tinnitus treatment 

• occupational hearing screening; and 

• Hearing protection

Preliminary 

work starts on 

school upgrade 

WORK ON the Diamond Harbour 

School upgrade is due to start this 

week. 

Contractors will be setting 

out fencing and delivering site 

buildings. 

The actual construction work 

will commence on April 29. 

The school will be receiving a 

new administration block and a 

refurbished main teaching block 

as part of the greater Christchurch 

education renewal programme. 

Construction is estimated to take 

a year to complete. 

On Friday there was a sod 

turning ceremony, which marked 

the beginning of the project. 

Principal Jill Pears said the 

new teaching block will give staff 

the ability to employ a range of 

different teaching methods. 

“It will be slightly more open 

plan so teachers can collaborate 

more effectively and there will be 

some wet spaces and a maker space, 

where children can make stuff 

using traditional tools and digital 

tools, and there will be break-out 

rooms, where children can work in 

smaller groups,” she said. 

Construction will lead to reduced 

parking and drop-off access. Ms 

Pears said the disruption would be 

minimal.

Navigation safety 

officer Gary Manch 

delivers his final 

column of the boating 

season 

Pirate’s Corner 

HOMECOMING: Father and daughter enjoying time together after three 

days apart. 

Daddy’s home 

WELL, I didn’t manage 

that dreamed of sleep-in. 

But after three nights 

away from Vittoria and 

Laura, even being forced 

awake before sunrise in my 

own bed felt good. 

As I said in my last column, 

I was away over the 

weekend competing in the 

dragon boat nationals at 

Lake Karapiro (go Waimak)! 

It was the longest 

I’ve been away from Vittoria. 

Although the break from 

all-day, everyday parenting 

was nice, I missed it like I 

never thought I would. 

On Friday night I woke 

up in the wee hours just 

freaking out that I couldn’t 

find Vittoria or even hear 

her. It took me a while to 

chill out and remember 

where I was. 

Is this something that 

will just happen now? 

Luckily this is 2019 so I 

could use video calling to 

see the family each day. 

It was really cute seeing 

how excited Vittoria got 

to see my face. She’d do 

this little jiggle, smile and 

giggle dance before getting 

back to whatever she 

was doing, throwing little 

smiles my way while Laura 

and I talked. 

Eventually she would, 

however, try and hang up 

the call. I guess you can 

have too much dad. 

I thought she would just 

about explode on Sunday 

when I got home, but she 

was way too engrossed in 

the Wiggles when I got in 

the door. 

After her song finished 

she started warming up to 

me again and it wasn’t long 

until she was back to being 

cuddly and excited to be 

around me. 

I think out of the two 

of them, Laura was most 

excited to have me home. 

The weekend had included 

the unholy meeting of 

arbitrary toddler routine 

changes and the end of 

VITTORIA 

& Matt 

daylight saving. Not to 

mention poor weather. 

Nothing like being 

trapped indoors with a 

grumpy toddler who woke 

you up multiple times 

overnight before deciding 

4am was playtime. 

My wife is a saint. 

On Tuesday bubs and I 

reconnected on a daddy/ 

daughter day with some 

friends over from Australia 

at the petting zoo Arion 

Farm. 

Nothing quite like being 

chased by ducks and 

having a sheep try and eat 

your hand, to rekindle the 

spark of daddy’s-girl-ness. 

•Former Bay Harbour 

News journalist 

Matt Salmons has 

become a stay-athome 

dad. We follow 

his journey weekly. 

THE SUMMER period 

has been a reasonably busy 

one, as we have had great 

weather and therefore the 

waterways throughout the 

region have been busy. 

Thankfully, complaints 

have been down a little 

from previous years but 

still not to the level I would 

like, which is none. 

Our enforcement officers 

have been out and about 

providing guidance and 

this was received well by 

our boating community. 

As I have previously 

mentioned 1000 times, we 

are not the anti-fun police, 

but we do want you to 

behave responsibly on the 

water; it’s a simple request, 

really. 

The requirement to identify 

your boat (Navigation 

Safety Bylaw 2016 part 20) 

has been reasonably well 

accepted and we are into 

the 60 per cent area for 

compliance, so we are on 

track. 

Many thanks to those 

who have complied, and 

I am sure those who have 

not will be contacting a 

local signwriter to get their 

vessels sorted prior to next 

season. 

Also, please remember 

to destroy and dispose of 

the old kapok life jackets; 

they should be replaced 

with new ones. 

I will not be writing 

articles during the winter 

months; another member 

of the harbourmaster’s 

office will fill the void. This 

will give you a break from 

me, and I will restart in 

October at the beginning 

of the boating season. 

One thing I would like 

you to think about is 

what do you want from 

my monthly column. Do 

you want specific advice, 

questions answered, or to 

examine problems and issues 

in a particular area? 

My view is that while I 

can sit down each month 

and ramble on, having a 

guide as to what you want

A MULTI-MILLION dollar 

electricity upgrade for Lyttelton, 

Corsair Bay and Cass Bay has 

moved a step closer. 

A $3 million 2.2km electricity 

cable was pulled through 

Lyttelton Tunnel on Monday 

night. 

The new cable which consists of 

three separate single core cables 

has a power rating of 10 megawatts, 

three megawatts greater 

than the current average demand 

which allows capacity for growth. 

Orion’s general manager of 

infrastructure Steve Macdonald 

said the cable pull was the largest 

in Orion’s history and possibly 

New Zealand’s. 

Mr Macdonald expected the 

new cable to be fully operational 

by the end of next month. 

The project is the culmination 

of three years of planning by 

Orion to address reliability and 

resilience issues with the power 

supply to Lyttelton. 

EASY DOES IT: 

Orion general 

manager of 

infrastructure 

Steve 

Macdonald 

with the end 

of the cable 

as it emerges 

from the 

mouth of 

the Lyttelton 

Tunnel. 

Power cable through tunnel 

The new 11kV electricity cable 

will run in tandem with the two 

existing 11kV cables which run 

over the Port Hills. 

“The lines over the hill are 

vulnerable to weather, 

vegetation and pests. With the 

new cable we have alternatives 

to keep the power on,” Mr 

Macdonald said. 

“It gives us the ability to grow 

and in the event of a failure we 

can still supply residents and the 

port with electricity.”

Full steam ahead for 

wastewater project 

PROGRESS: The Lyttelton 

Harbour Wastewater Project 

has entered its fourth and 

final stage. 

THE $53 million Lyttelton 

Harbour Wastewater Project has 

entered its final phase. 

The fourth stage of the wastewater 

service upgrade involves 

laying several kilometres of underground 

pipes to connect both 

the Lyttelton and Christchurch 

wastewater systems. 

Work is planned to start this 

month. 

The pipeline will run from the 

Heathcote side of Tunnel Rd, 

under Bridle Path Rd, Port Hills 

Rd, Mauger Drive and Scruttons 

Rd, before continuing under 

the paddocks parallel to Tunnel 

Rd, under the Heathcote River 

and connecting to the Woolston 

pump station in Alport Place. 

From there, Lyttelton 

Harbour’s wastewater will 

be pumped through to the 

Christchurch Wastewater Treatment 

Plant in Bromley, ending 

the routine discharge of treated 

wastewater into the harbour. 

City council city services 

general manager David Adamson 

said the Lyttelton Harbour 

Wastewater Project is one of the 

city council’s largest wastewater 

projects. 

“In spite of the scale of this 

project, people won’t see much 

of the constructed work as most 

of the assets will be underground,” 

he said. 

“One of the more difficult 

feats of engineering will involve 

installing the section of pipeline 

deep under the Heathcote River 

by using directional drilling 

technology to create a tunnel 

and dragging more than 400m 

of pipeline through the space.” 

Multiple construction crews 

will be working on the project 

to ensure minimum time on the 

road and disruption to residents. 

Access will still be available 

to homes and businesses, with 

“start work” notices being 

delivered closer to the time that 

the construction crews are onsite. 

New uniforms for Heathcote 

Valley School netballers 


HEATHCOTE VALLEY School 

netballers are raring to go this 

season in their brand new 

uniforms. 

The new gear was given to 

the school as part of the ANZ 

netball grants programme, 

which has reopened for the 

upcoming season. 

Heathcote Valley School 

co-coach Tasmin Page said the 

new gear has provided a massive 

morale boost for the year 5 team. 

“It was great, the kids all felt 

heaps better about what they 

were wearing. The new kits were 

also a bit more practical than 

the old ones, which were around 

their knees,” she said. 

ANZ head of sponsorship Sue 

McGregor said over six years it 

has given more than $700,000 

to help teams and players all 

over New Zealand achieve their 

netballing dreams. 

Last year a young netballer 

with aspirations to be a sports 

journalist was given the 

opportunity to be the official 

ANZ junior sports reporter and 

interview the Silver Ferns. 

A struggling goal shoot also 

had a visit from netball legend 

Irene van Dyk to give her a 

confidence boost. 

•The grants are open to 

teams and individuals of all 

ages. Applications close on 

September 24. To apply, visit

Cemetery Road 

by Greg Iles 

Successful journalist Marshall McEwan is forced to return home. His father is 

dying, his mother is struggling to keep the family newspaper from failing, and 

the town is in the midst of an economic rebirth that might be built upon crimes 

that reach into the state capitol - and perhaps even to Washington. More 

disturbing still, Marshall’s high school sweetheart, Jet, has married 

into the family of Max Matheson, patriarch of one of the families 

that rule Bienville through a shadow organization called the 

Bienville Poker Club. 

When archeologist Buck McKibben is murdered at a 

construction site, Bienville is thrown into chaos. The ensuing 

homicide investigation is soon derailed by a second crime that 

rocks the community to its core. Power broker Max Matheson’s 

wife has been shot dead in her own bed, and the only other 

person in it at the time was her husband, Max. Stranger still, Max 

demands that his daughter-in-law, Jet, defend him in court. 

Without telling a soul, Marshall joins forces with Jet and begins digging into both 

murders. With Jet walking the dangerous road of an inside informer, they soon 

uncover a web of criminal schemes that undergird the town’s recent success. But 

these crimes pale in comparison to the secret at the heart of the Matheson family...

Alice Hamilton loved being a mature-age student, but now she’s finished her 

university degree she needs to find herself a career. But the job market is tough 

and it doesn’t help that her partner David keeps reminding her about their sizeable 

mortgage. When she’s offered a role in a major real estate agency, she jumps at 

the opportunity. David is excited by her prospects in the thriving Melbourne housing 

market, and Alice is pleased that she’ll be utilising her exceptional people skills. But 

Alice quickly realises all is not as it seems. What is she doing wrong to be so out of 

sync with her energetic boss, Carmel Gold, agent extraordinaire? Alice is determined 

to make it work, but how much will it affect her values? 

As everything starts to fall apart, a sudden visit home to the country town Alice 

escaped years ago provides an unexpected opportunity to get some perspective. 

Surrounded by people who aren’t what they seem, or have their own agendas, can Alice learn to ask for what she really 

wants... on her own terms?

Holden’s big Acadia – born in the US 

Motoring 

Ross Kiddie 

A STICKER with the message 

“proudly built in Tennessee” is 

something you don’t see often 

on new vehicles sold in New 

Zealand. 

Sure, there have been a smattering 

of US-built cars available 

for NZ buyers, but they are few 

and far between. However, there’s 

a newcomer on the block, and 

it represents much of the way 

we view US cars, the seven-seat 

Acadia is here and it’s big and 

bold. 

The Acadia is a large sport utility 

vehicle that comes out of the 

GMC stable, GMC is an off-shoot 

of the giant General Motors conglomerate 

that focuses primarily 

on trucks and pick-ups. However, 

the Acadia distances itself from 

the ute market, it is built on a sophisticated 

monocoque floorpan 

with fully independent suspension, 

lending itself to a refined 

SUV which targets Toyota’s Highlander 

as its main competition. 

Under the bonnet sits a 3.6-litre 

V6 petrol engine which is rated at 

231kW and 367Nm, these healthy 

outputs are realised tall in the rev 

band at 6600rpm and 5000rpm 

respectively. If you think these figures 

look familiar, it’s pretty much 

the same power plant that is fitted 

to the range-topping ZB-series 

Commodore. The Acadia also gets 

the same transmission, it’s a ninespeed 

unit that is characterised 

by smooth shifts and ratios which 

ease the load on the engine so that 

respectable fuel economy can be 

gleaned. 

Because of its size, and weight 

(2032kg), the Acadia needs as 

much benefit in this department 

as it can get. Holden rate it with 

a 9.3-litre per 100km (30mpg) 

combined cycle rating. By my 

reckoning that’s achievable, the 

test car was constantly listing 

around 10.8l/100km (26mpg), 

taking into consideration I did 

a lot of around the city driving 

which is never conducive to good 

economy results. 

On the highway the engine 

lopes over gently at 1500rpm 

at 100km/h in top gear, using 

fuel at an instantaneous rate of 

7.8l/100km (36mpg). 

The Acadia is also a useful offthe-seal 

traveller. It lands in both 

two-wheel-drive and four-wheeldrive 

variants. The test car was the 

top spec – LTZ-V, and although 

the driveline won’t get to places a 

low ratio set-up will take you, the 

HOLDEN ACADIA: Two or four-wheel-drive options. 

mechanicals are perfect for low 

grip situations such as the skifield 

access road, tackling the tracks 

leading into those high country 

lakes, or taking the boat to the slipway. 

For the record, the Acadia has 

a 2000kg tow rating and a 203mm 

ground clearance figure. 

It also travels with compliant 

suspension travel. Unlike US 

vehicles of the past which have 

been quite soft in the suspension, 

the Acadia’s spring and damper 

rates are definitely biased towards 

moderate firming, yet comfort 

isn’t compromised. 

Pushed into a corner there is 

just enough steering feel thanks to 

beautiful Continental sport tyres, 

and they are big at 235/55 x 20in. 

There is a lot of rubber on the 

road and that promotes a secure 

feeling of attachment. 

Power out of a corner is vivid. 

The quad-camshaft engine is a 

howler, it works through the rev 

band freely but you don’t have to 

have it singing to the red line to 

get performance, the torque curve 

is just broad enough so that it 

utilises the mid-range. 

However, if you like to have it 

breathing freely for a highway 

overtake for example, it hunts to 

the red line willingly, there was 

never a point where I thought 

the wrong gear was selected, the 

way it arranges those nine ratios 

is very clever. On the subject of 

performance, the Acadia buyer 

can expect a standstill to 100km/h 

time of around 7.8sec. 

As mentioned, the Acadia 

lands here in three specification 

levels, each with the option of 

four-wheel-drive. The entry-level 

model lands at $49,990, while the 

test car with its high grade trim 

and 4WD sits at $71,990. For 

that money it is comprehensively 

• Price – Holden Acadia 

LTZ-V, $71,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4979mm; width, 1916mm; 

height, 1762mm 

• Configuration – V6, 

four-wheel-drive, 3649cc, 

231kW, 367Nm, ninespeed 

automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 7.8sec 

• Fuel usage – 9.3l/100km 

equipped – and you’d expect 

nothing less. It is very American 

in the way it is trimmed and 

it does get all the latest safety 

technology that comes out of the 

General Motors’ stable. 

The Acadia makes no pretence 

that it is genuinely American, its 

styling is designed to capture attention, 

and the luxury feel inside 

takes me back to the best vehicles 

that have come out of the States in 

terms of build quality and comfort. 

However, the Acadia also gets 

the benefit of the down under 

input. Prior to its release it was 

tested vigorously across the Tasman 

for our market. That development 

shows, it is an involving, 

spirited car that feels very good 

to be in. 

The Acadia won’t be for everyone, 

but for those who want the 

benefit of huge interior space and 

strong engine performance, it’s 

there in a part of market where 

buyers don’t have comprehensive 

choice.

PAGE 21 

This stylish contemporary home is 

simply outstanding in its design and its 

layout. North facing for all day sun all 

year round and with the most magnificent 

harbour views on offer from the heads to 

Lyttleton and beyond, you will never tire of 

the constantly changing scene unfolding in 

front of you. 

Set over different levels giving a feeling of 

space this much loved home has that special 

point of difference. Each of the 3 living areas 

and 3 of the 4 double bedrooms capture the 

breath-taking and intimate harbour views 

and offer easy access to the large sheltered 

deck area. Perfect for entertaining with a 

large light filled kitchen, free flowing living 

areas and that awesome deck. 

The 4 bedrooms are all generous in 

size and offer good storage with the main 

having a walk in robe and en suite and one 

of the guest rooms also has access to the 

main family bathroom. 

Tastefully finished to a high standard, 

internal access double garage and well 

established gardens make this one rather 

special. 

If you want a well-built modern home 

with flair and those views then look no 

further. 

Only 30 minutes scenic drive from the 

bottom of Colombo Street. Local amenities 

are many and varied to indulge in and in 

the pipeline is a cinema, supermarket and 

additional shops, as well as the development 

of Te Ana Marina at Lyttelton stage 1 now 

complete. The local school and Kidsfirst 

centre have an excellent reputation and the 

zoned high school is Cashmere.
