Not enough 

say on plan 

to manage 

cruise ship 

passengers 

– residents 

• By Jess Gibson 

NEW MEASURES have been put 

in place to help manage the impact 

cruise ship visitors are having on 

Akaroa. 

But Akaroa Ratepayers and 

Residents Association chairman 

Harry Stronach says he is 

“disappointed” the community 

was not consulted more before 

action was taken. 

With 90 cruise ship visits due 

in Akaroa this summer, the city 

council is working to ensure 

measures are in place to manage 

the influx of passengers, as well as 

other tourists and visitors. 

Tighter controls on tourist bus 

parking, more toilet facilities and 

“smart” public rubbish bins will all 

be in place for the upcoming cruise 

ship season. 

City council citizens and 

community principal adviser 

Brent Smith said there has been 

a collaborative approach to 

supporting the busy cruise ship 

season in Akaroa.

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz 

from the reporter’s desk 

IT’S GREAT to see something is finally being done to ease the 

impacts of cruise ships in Akaroa (see page 1). 

Ninety vessels will enter the harbour this season, and the city 

council has new measures in place to minimise congestion from 

an influx of tourists and visitors. 

Residents have been pushing for action since it first became a 

problem eight years ago. 

However, it seems the community has been forgotten about 

in the city council’s “collaborative” approach to managing 

congestion. 

City council citizens and community principal adviser 

Brent Smith says the city council is working with cruise lines, 

transport operators, businesses and other organisations to 

improve the experience for residents and visitors. 

Interesting move since residents have complained in the past 

about businesses being given priority over the community.

Multi-year funding for conservation trust 

SINCE 2001, the Banks 

Peninsula Conservation Trust 

has worked to preserve and 

enhance the area’s indigenous 

flora and fauna. 

And now, it will continue to do 

so comfortably, with $120,000 of 

funding from 

Rata Foundation. 

The trust recently 

received 

approval for 

multi-year 

funding from 

Leighton 

Evans 

the foundation 

under the newly-launched 

Sustain priority area. 

At the heart of the trust are the 

people of Banks Peninsula, and 

because of this, it receives plenty 

of support from the community. 

Said volunteer manager Sophie 

Hartnell: “A healthy, natural 

environment provides a solid 

foundation for everything that is 

of value to people – food, water, 

shelter and health.” 

“We want to inspire people 

to be passionate about the 

environment around them, to 

understand it and take action 

to protect and restore it. All of 

our programmes are designed 

to enable community members 

to actively sustain the natural 

environment across the Banks 

Peninsula.”

BIODIVERSITY: The Banks Peninsula Conservation Trust has 

received approval a $120,000 grant from Rate Foundation 

under its newly-launched Sustain priority area. 

Rata Foundation chief executive 

Leighton Evans said the trust 

does an amazing job of getting 

the community involved in its 

projects. 

“The trust has created some 

strong connections within the 

Banks Peninsula community, 

bringing people together to preserve 

and sustain the biodiversity 

in the area,” he said. 

Collaboration is one of the 

most important aspects of the 

trust’s overall vision, working 

with private landowners and 

organisations including the 

Department of Conservation, 

Environment Canterbury, 

Christchurch City Council, the 

HIKING BOOTS 

& SHOES 

For men, women 

and children 

From 

$79.95 

to $250 

Lyttelton Port Company and local 

schools. 

“We wouldn’t be where we are 

without the support of these, and 

other key supporting organisations 

– collaboration is an essential 

part of how we operate.” 

The trust is community-driven 

and facilitates the protection 

of biodiversity on private land 

through covenants. 

“Covenants allow us to work 

with private landowners to 

legally protect their land and 

important ecological values in 

perpetuity. The whole community 

benefits from this commitment 

to protecting biodiversity 

for current and future generations. 

We support the landowner 

through the covenanting process 

which includes legal protection, 

fencing of the protected area, as 

well as ecological survey and the 

development of an ecological 

management plan. “ 

The trust has a 30-year ecological 

vision which outlines eight 

key priorities: old-growth remnants, 

rare ecosystems, connections 

between land, freshwater 

and marine habitats, core areas 

of indigenous forest, land and 

freshwater management supporting 

indigenous biodiversity, indigenous 

flora and fauna, species 

reintroduction and a pest-free 

Banks Peninsula. 

Lyttelton’s Port Saddle is one 

of the trust’s projects which is 

delivered in partnership with 

the Lyttelton Port Company and 

strongly encourages community 

involvement. 

The trust has facilitated predator-control, 

plantings, workshops 

and other educational opportunities 

involving members of the 

community on this site. 

Said Ms Hartnell: “We have 

kids coming from the local 

school to do their part in protecting 

the biodiversity along Port 

Saddle.”

Lyttelton parking 

feedback sought 


ASSOCIATE Minister Poto 

Williams has asked the public 

to weigh in on a proposal which 

could help the regeneration of 

Lyttelton. 

It seeks to lift a requirement in 

the Christchurch District Plan 

that requires business developers 

to provide a certain number of 

car parking spaces. 

The city council submitted the 

proposal to Ms Williams, the 

Associate Minister for Greater 

Christchurch Regeneration, as 

the rule was causing issues for 

potential developments. 

Ms Williams is able to use her 

powers under the Greater Christchurch 

Regeneration Act to make 

amendments to the District Plan. 

But before making her decision, 

she will consider written feedback 

from the public which can be submitted 

from now until November 

14. 

“It is important that anyone 

interested in these proposals 

makes a written comment,’’ Ms 

Williams said. 

She said the current requirements 

do not take into account 

Lyttelton’s unusual geography 

and the size and shape of sites. 

•The proposal can be viewed 

and written comments made 

online at dpmc.govt.nz/Lytteltonparking 

Plan to beat midge problem 

MORE THAN 9000 native 

shrubs and trees will be planted 

beside the Bromley oxidation 

ponds over the next few weeks 

as part of ongoing efforts to keep 

the midge population down. 

The trees and shrubs will create 

a natural screen 

between the oxidation ponds 

and nearby homes and help cut 

down the light from the residential 

area. 

Midges, like moths, are naturally 

attracted to light. 

“We’ve prepared the ground 

for planting and over the next 

few weeks our contractor, Fulton 

Hogan, will be putting in 9330 

native trees and shrubs,’’ said 

city council three waters and 

waste operations manager Adam 

Twose. 

“As the plants grow up, they 

will shield the ponds from the 

light from neighbouring homes 

and roads which should make 

the residential area less attractive 

to the midges.’’ 

The planting work is part of a 

multi-pronged approach the city 

council is taking to control the 

midge population around the 

oxidation ponds. 

Midges are not harmful but 

over the warm summer months, 

they are an unwanted nuisance 

for nearby residents.

“Unfortunately midges breed 

well in the shallow, warm waters 

of the oxidation ponds so we 

are continually working to find 

new ways of keeping the midge 

population down,’’ Mr Twose 

said. 

“Last summer we 

mechanically disturbed the floor 

of the oxidation ponds by using 

a slow-moving boat fitted with 

a raft of chains that dragged 

behind it. By doing this, we were 

able to create a less hospitable 

environment for the midges to 

breed in. 

“As a result we saw a 35 

per cent decline in the midge 

population around the ponds 

and received fewer complaints 

about the midges from nearby 

residents. 

oN sAle Now! 

NUISANCE: 

Nine 

thousand 

native 

shrubs will 

be planted 

beside the 

Bromley 

oxidation 

ponds in a 

bid to reduce 

the midge 

population. 

“We’ll be using the same approach 

again this summer so we 

hope to see a further decline in 

midge numbers. 

“We will also have contractors 

working on extending the spur 

in Pond 2 so that we can alter 

the inflow of treated wastewater, 

which should also make the 

ponds a less attractive breeding 

ground for midges.’’

Spray to be used to 

clear Heathcote weed 

INVASIVE weeds clogging 

the Heathcote River and 

taking over its banks will 

soon be targeted in a weed 

spraying programme. 

The programme is due to 

start early next month, but 

the work is weather and 

tide dependant. 

The weeds are covering 

the riverbanks and will 

eventually wipe out native 

species. Some are also 

restricting flood flows and 

increasing the amount of 

sediment in the river. 

“The weeds are starting 

to impact on the river’s 

ecosystem and capacity so 

they need to be removed,’’ 

said city council land 

drainage manager Keith 

Davison. 

“We have bank stabilisation 

and planting work 

happening along the 

Heathcote River as part of 

our flood mitigation programme 

in the area and we 

need to get rid of the weeds 

before we progress this 

work any further,” he said. 

The chemical herbicide 

glyphosate will be used to 

target the weeds.

parks and reserves we are 

using organic fatty acid 

alternatives to combat 

weeds. 

“Unfortunately, the 

organic fatty acid alternatives 

that are available are 

not safe to use around 

waterways because of their 

toxicity to aquatic invertebrates. 

“We can’t physically remove 

all the weeds in and 

along the Heathcote River 

so our best option is to use 

glyphosate, which becomes 

inactive in soil and sediment, 

so safe to use around 

water,’’ Mr Davison said. 

Mr Davison said the 

contractors will follow 

strict protocols when 

spraying with glyphosate 

to minimise the impact on 

the surrounding environment 

and to avoid the 

risk to people travelling 

through the area. 

“The areas that have

Work soon on Ferrymead cycleway 

CONSTRUCTION WILL soon 

begin on the last stretch of a 

cycleway connecting Ferrymead 

with other suburbs. 

Already linking the central 

city with The Tannery in 

Woolston, the Heathcote Expressway 

will soon continue out 

to Heathcote. 

Once complete, it will provide 

a key commuter route as well as 

easy access by bike to Ferrymead 

Heritage Park. 

Work is also due to commence 

on two other sections 

of Christchurch’s cycleway 

network. 

The South Express cycleway, 

which was consulted on last year, 

will run from the CBD through 

Riccarton, Sockburn and 

Hornby, to reach Templeton. 

The third cycleway soon to be 

on the map is the Nor’West Arc, 

which will connect nine schools 

as it runs across the west of the 

city. 

“These new routes are not 

only for the benefit of people 

on bikes,” said city council’s 

planning and delivery transport 

manager Lynette Ellis. 

“Motorists and pedestrians 

will also enjoy improved safety 

and lighting at intersections, 

plus we’ll be repairing damaged 

infrastructure as we go.” 

As more of the cycleways link 

together, it becomes easier for 

people for give cycling a go, Ms 

Ellis said. 

“People who are new to biking 

feel comfortable using the new 

cycleway and current riders are 

more likely to make different 

trips, like cycling with a child to 

school.” 

The co-owner of Action Bicycle 

Club, Ken Ching, is finding 

the cycleways are not just providing 

a safe and pleasant pathway 

to different parts of the city. 

“The infrastructure is more 

than just about transport,” he 

said. 

“It’s improving our public 

space and social cohesion. It’s 

helping create a liveable city.” 

Said Alice Terrien, of Bellbird 

Bakery: “The cycleways are great; 

direct and safe. Biking is the fastest, 

easiest, most hassle-free way 

for me to get to work.” 

Her bakery uses a cargo-bike 

to make deliveries and run errands 

around the central city. 

“We didn’t want to purchase a 

second delivery van. Compared 

to a car, the cargo-bike is more 

convenient to use, is often faster, 

and it’s fun.” 

Ms Terrien believes the cycleway 

network makes the city 

more appealing to locals and 

visitors alike. 

“I can’t see why Christchurch 

couldn’t become the Amsterdam

Cycleways, 

such as this one 

between Linwood 

and Sumner, are

with the suburbs. 

of the south,” she said. 

As the infrastructure for 

Christchurch’s bicycles continues 

to develop, so too does the city’s 

biking culture. 

Biketober, the annual, monthlong 

festival of the cycle, is on 

now and offers a diverse programme 

of events, from guided 

rides to workshops, competitions 

to seminars, for all ages. The 

full programme can be found at

Skate park 

construction 

under way 


WORK IS under way to have 

a new dirt bike pump track 

and skate bowl installed in 

Governors Bay Reserve. 

Part of the reserve will be 

fenced off during construction, 

which is expected to take about 

two months. 

The city council originally 

had plans to build a pump 

track, skate bowl, half pipe and 

treehouse in 2017 but had to 

ask the community to prioritise 

after it ran out of money to fund 

everything. 

After the second round 

of consultation, which 

attracted 62 submissions, the 

pump track and skate bowl 

came out on top and could be 

built within the city council’s 

$170,000 budget. 

Prior to the consultation, the 

community had wanted a skate 

park for several years. 

Some of the money has also 

been put towards the renewal of 

the junior playground space and 

landscape work around the new 

community hall and pool, which 

is complete.

Said Mr Smith: “We’re 

working with the cruise 

lines, transport operators, 

businesses and other 

organisations, such as 

NZ police to improve the 

experience for locals and 

visitors in Akaroa during 

the cruise ship days. 

“We’ve introduced 

measures to help manage 

high visitor numbers, and 

believe these multiple 

improvements will benefit 

everyone.” 

But Mr Stronach said 

while he is “delighted” to 

see the city council take 

action, he wanted more 

consultation with residents 

groups and 

affected 

property 

owners. 

“The city 

council say 

they are 

collaborating 

with various 

parties, but it’s 

conspicuous 

who they are not consulting 

with – and that’s the local 

community,” he said. 

“The city council has 

demonstrated that they are 

focused on supporting the 

interests of businesses.” 

He said the success of 

the measures “can only be 

judged by the results seen 

on the streets of Akaroa in 

the coming months.” 

Under a new trial, fewer 

buses will wait on Beach 

Rd to pick-up and drop-off 

ship passengers, mini-buses 

will move to the Bruce 

slipway on quieter days 

to reduce Akaroa Wharf

congestion, and there will 

be greater enforcement of 

parking restrictions. 

Tour bus drivers will 

be encouraged to arrive 

at Akaroa closer to their 

pick-up times to help 

reduce waiting time and 

congestion. 

City council staff will 

be in Akaroa to monitor 

the rollout of the plan 

and make adjustments if 

necessary. 

A Bruce Apartments 

spokesman was “thrilled” 

the city council was doing 

something about the 

congestion. 

The Bruce Apartments 

body corporate has sought 

legal advice over the large 

number of buses gathering 

outside the apartments on 

Beach Rd during cruise 

ship days. 

Additional measures 

will be in place to help 

ease the impact of cruise 

ship passengers, including 

more toilet facilities and 

new “smart” rubbish bins, 

which will be in place by 

mid-November. A new 

public toilet block at Place 

de la Poste – behind the 

Akaroa Service Centre on 

Rue Jolie – will replace the 

old toilets. It will contain 

eight toilets. 

Six solar-powered 

Bigbelly rubbish bins will 

also be operating at key 

spots around Akaroa. 

A built-in compactor 

means the bins can swallow 

up to five times more 

rubbish than a standard 

waste bin. 

The bins utilise smart 

sensors to detect the 

rubbish level and alert 

maintenance staff when 

nearing capacity. 

Some will also provide 

free wi-fi within a 60m 

radius. The city council 

also plans to step up parks 

maintenance during the 

summer.

Readers respond to last week’s article about rock piles left on 

Clifton Beach near Shag Rock following the construction of the 

Coastal Pathway 

Bruce Whitfield 

– Dr Pat McIntosh and 

her discovery of sizeable 

rocks that have come to 

notice around Shag Rock 

following the new Coastal 

Pathway build in the area 

is interesting for all the 

wrong reasons. 

The reported statement 

by city council delivery 

manager Lynette Ellis 

about not being able to 

supply the Fulton Hogan 

contract for viewing 

because it contains 

“commercially sensitive 

information” is just a load 

of nonsense. 

It’s so disappointing, 

especially given we have 

just finished another 

election round, that again 

we see clear evidence of 

the city council, through 

its employees, deliberately 

choosing to be secretive, 

and being sparse with 

the facts when asked for 

some information. For 

goodness sake, if the city 

council don’t want anyone 

to know what Fulton 

Hogan got financially out 

of the contract or how 

the contract work maybe 

was structured for them, 

they can easily redact the 

contract document as 

much as they like, but still 

supply the information 

that Dr McIntosh wants 

– for example, what size 

filtering was applied and 

how the process was 

carried out. 

It might be that 

the issue has to be 

regarded as unavoidable 

“collateral damage” to the 

environment, given the 

sizeable pathway project. 

The use of large quantities 

of filter cloth was evident 

during the construction 

work, so one would have 

thought that this material 

could have been used to 

prevent the leakage of 

the stone rubble that Dr 

McIntosh has discovered. 

All that said, our city 

council still needs to 

seriously practice its skills 

at being open and honest 

with its ratepayers, and 

more importantly be 

seen to be, especially as 

we all pour in more and 

more money into the rates 

bucket. 

Alan Truscott – The 

debris will always be 

there unless it is removed, 

as the larger 

particles will always wash 

to the surface and not disappear 

into the sand. The 

sieve they used was way 

too big. I actually watched 

them doing it and there 

is no way they were ever 

going to return the beach 

to what it was using the 

equipment they had.

Call for strategies to 

get people voting 

Port Hills MP 

Ruth Dyson 

writes about 

election 

results and the 

city council’s 

proposal to 

ease parking 

requirements for developers 

in Lyttelton 

MY WARMEST congratulations 

to our newly-elected community 

board, councillors, ECan councillors 

and District Health Board 

members. 

We look to have a fine mix of 

new faces and experience. My 

commiserations to those who stood 

but were unsuccessful this time. It 

takes a lot of courage, energy and 

passion to put your hand up for 

these positions and I am confident 

that everyone who put their names 

forward did so with a commitment 

to their community and our wellbeing 

at heart. 

A lot of people didn’t vote at the 

election and this is a worrying 

situation. I think that a big part of 

this (alongside the postal voting 

system) is the fact that many have 

no idea what a community board 

does – or what a city councillor 

does, let alone what the district 

health board does. 

This lack of knowledge doesn’t 

seem to be a huge barrier to overcome. 

So I would like to challenge our 

elected representatives to put their 

collective thinking caps on and 

develop some strategies to educate 

people locally – and let’s see if we 

can have the highest voter turnout 

next time. 

One of the city council’s recent 

proposals is to amend the District 

Plan to remove the minimum 

on-site parking rule for developments 

in the commercial zone in 

Lyttelton. 

Currently, all development has 

to comply with the minimum 

and maximum car parks required 

under the plan. The amount of 

on-site parking required currently 

is unnecessary and in many cases, 

impossible. If this rule changes, 

it would return to the situation 

pre-earthquake, where most commercial 

sites did not provide, or 

provided very little, on-site parking. 

This rule is a challenge for developers 

and a number of sites are 

still vacant with developers slow to 

invest. 

Minister Poto Williams is 

consulting on this right now – 

feedback closes on November 14 – 

and can be accessed on dpmc.govt. 

nz/lyttelton-parking. If you have a 

view – share it now. 

Overconfidence and scraped nose 

CONFIDENCE IS a wonderful 

thing. 

Vittoria’s certainly getting that 

in spades and it’s impacting our 

walks. 

For example, when she and 

I took Mum’s dogs for a beach 

walk on Saturday, she was happy 

to walk one of the dogs both 

there and back by herself without 

complaint. 

Good right? 

However, that same level 

of I’m-a-professional-walker 

confidence led to some serious 

grumpiness and a decent scrape 

on her nose on Sunday. 

We all spent that night in 

Akaroa and we’d managed to 

arrive before it stated raining, so 

we took the chance to wander 

the Francophile waterfront before 

it got all grey and wet. 

Walking up to the lighthouse 

was perfection. Vittoria sat 

calmly in her pram, made 

excited noises at passing dogs 

and seemingly enjoyed the view. 

By the time we arrived, her 

composure was slipping and she 

was practically jumping out in 

desperation to walk on her own 

feet. 

As soon as I got her out 

though, she turned and sped off 

too fast. She barely got two feet 

before tripping over her own 

boots and faceplanting into the 

concrete. A scaring me kind of 

faceplant. 

Although her poor wee nose 

SKILLED: Vittoria confidently 

jumping on a trampoline, 

repleat with scraped nose. 

got all scraped up and bloody, 

I’m glad that was the worst of it. 

In spite of that, she was more 

than happy to sprint about 

concreted areas and then run 

downhill and give me more 

heart attacks. 

Trying to hold her hand 

was no good, she’d just 

growl at me and do her best 

washing machine impression 

before stamping off as if to 

VITTORIA 

& Matt 

say: “No, I can do it!”. 

An ultimatum was just met 

with more running away, so I 

just had to wrestle her back into 

the pram. Literally. 

Let’s see if a scab on her nose 

will chill the over confidence. I 

doubt it. 

So, quick update on the cot 

and potty training efforts before 

we go. 

The potty is still terrifying, so 

no real movement there (ha, see 

what I did there?) 

On the other hand, the cot 

training is going great guns. 

I’m getting a whole night sleep 

without tiny limbs in my eye 

socket or ribs. 

On Tuesday morning Vittoria 

jumped out of bed, wandered 

over to me and Laura’s bed, and 

jumped up for a cuddle before 

getting up. It’s cute when I’m 

already awake and it’s not 3am. 

To be 100 per cent honest, I 

kind of miss the co-sleeping.

NEW RELEASES 

Vegful 

by Nadia Lim 

With vegetarianism and veganism on the rise, New Zealanders are 

not only becoming more aware of the benefits of following a plantbased 

diet, but also of the negative impact farming animals can 

have on the environment. Celebrity cook, nutritionist and co-founder 

of My Food Bag, Nadia Lim, says she has wanted to put out a 

cookbook dedicated entirely to vegetables for a while, but has been 

waiting “for the right time”. That time is now. 

Nadia has just released Vegful, a book she describes as “a 

vegetable cookbook” rather than a vegetarian cookbook. 

It provides inspiration for those of us who know we can do better 

with vegetables - we just need a little guidance! 

Elton John 

The definitive portrait, with unseen images 

by Terry O’Neill 

“Looking at Terry’s photographs is like gazing through a window at the 

most extraordinary and exciting moments of my life. I’m so glad he was 

with us throughout the madness: in his evocative and stylish photos he 

captured those moments as no other photographer could.” - Elton John 

Elton John and iconic photographer Terry O’Neill worked together for 

many years, taking in excess of 5,000 photographs. From intimate 

backstage shots to huge stadium concerts, the photographs in this 

book represent the very best of this archive, with most of the images 

being shown here for the first time. 

O’Neill has drawn on his personal relationship with Elton John to write 

the book’s introduction and captions. 

The Giver of Stars 

by JoJo Moyes 

Inspired by a remarkable true story, the unforgettable journey of five 

extraordinary women living in extraordinary and perilous times. 

Alice Wright has travelled halfway across the world to escape her 

stifling life in England. Handsome American businessman Bennett 

Van Cleve represents a fresh start. But she soon realises that 

swapping the twitching curtains of suburbia for newlywed life in 

the wild mountains of Kentucky isn’t the answer to her prayers. But 

maybe meeting Margery O’Hara is. The heart and backbone of the 

small community of Salt Lick, a woman who isn’t afraid of anything 

or anyone, Margery is on a mission. 

Tall Tales 

And Wee Stories by Billy Connolly 

‘Coming from Glasgow, it’s weird, I don’t really tell jokes, like Irish jokes and 

all that. I tell wee stories. And some of them don’t even have punchlines. But 

you’ll get used to it as the night goes on, and on, and on, and on and on...’ 

In December 2018, after fifty years of belly-laughs, energy and outrage, Billy 

Connolly announced his retirement from live stand-up comedy. It had been 

an extraordinary career 

Tall Tales and Wee Stories brings together the very best of Billy’s storytelling 

for the first time and includes his most famous routines including, The Last 

Supper, Jojoba Shampoo, Incontinence Pants and Shouting at Wildebeest. 

With an introduction and original illustrations by Billy throughout, it is an 

inspirational, energetic and riotously funny read, and a fitting celebration of 

our greatest ever comedian.

Plan to upgrade playgrounds 


TWO PLAYGROUNDS in the 

Bay Harbour area are set to get 

a refresh. 

The city council is seeking 

feedback on proposals for the 

Radley playground in Woolston 

and King Park playground in Mt 

Pleasant until November 6. 

Both playgrounds are reaching 

the end of their life span and 

will receive new equipment for a 

range of ages and abilities. 

Radley playground was built at 

Radley Park on Woolston Cres in 

the mid-1980s. 

Before that, the area was 

part of Troutdale Farm, where 

Andrew Mensal Johnson bred 

the first brown trout in New 

Zealand. 

The farm was a popular picnic 

area until it closed in the early 

1930s and a number of the 

original trees remain in the park 

today. 

There is a plaque along the 


PRIZE-WINNING “Kelliher” 

paintings will be showcased in 

Akaroa. 

Sir Henry Kelliher was a longstanding 

patron of the arts and 

set up the Kelliher Art Award 

in 1956. 

The objective of the 

competition, which lasted until 

1977, was to encourage realistic 

portrayals of New Zealand 

landscapes and the way of life 

of its people for the entire world 

to see. 

The Kelliher Art Exhibition 

will be held at the Powerhouse 

Gallery from Saturday to 

November 24. 

The paintings to be displayed 

in Akaroa are either Kelliher 

competition prize-winners 

or paintings acquired by the 

Kelliher Art Trust. 

It will be the second time 

in 63 years a selection of the 

paintings have been shown in 

banks of the Heathcote River 

which commemorates Mr 

Johnson. 

The city council has proposed 

new equipment which would be 

suitable for both the park setting 

and the community, including 

swings, a slide, a carousel, a seesaw 

and a fish-rocker. 

King Park playground, 

which is off Quarry Rd and 

Rangatira Tce, dates back to the 

1930s. 

The proposed new equipment 

includes swings, a slide, a “space 

shuttle” with rope climbing, and 

a choice between a dinosaur 

rocker or a kiwi rocker. 

Once the consultation 

period has closed for both 

playgrounds, the project 

team will analyse feedback 

and produce a report with 

a recommendation to the 

Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board. 

A decision from the board 

is expected sometime in April 

the South Island. 

Peter McIntyre, Cedric 

Savage, David Barker, Austen 

Deans, Colin Wheeler, Robert 

McDowell and Richard 

McWhannell are among the 

artists to be exhibited are. 

and if the plans are approved, 

construction of the playgrounds 

is likely to start in May or June.

Feedback sought on 

improvement plan 

for busy Akaroa road 


A CROSSING build-out has 

been proposed for a busy road in 

Akaroa. 

The city council has asked for 

feedback on the planned changes 

to Beach Rd next to Stanley Park. 

The proposal includes a 

crossing point, with a kerb buildout, 

to align with the park steps. 

The changes will create a safer 

crossing point for pedestrians, 

make the park entrance more 

visible and prevent cars and 

buses from parking in front of it. 

Consultation opened on 

Thursday and will close 

on November 6, and a 

recommendation will go to the 

Banks Peninsula Community 

Board. 

If the community board 

approves the recommendation, 

construction is likely to start 

halfway through next year. 

Meanwhile, work will begin to 

replace the old stone steps where 

Stanley Park meets Beach Rd at 

the end of the month. 

Approval was granted to 

replace the steps several years 

ago. 

The steps will be realigned for 

better access and provide room 

for the possible future instalment 

of the bell tower. 

Locally-sourced stone will be 

incorporated into the design and 

a handrail will also be included 

on one side of the steps.

Triathlete humble with success 

One of the world’s 

most gruelling events 

took place this month 

when more than 2000 

athletes competed 

in the Ironman World 

Championship in 

Hawaii. To mark the 

occasion sports 

reporter Gordon 

Findlater caught up 

with Sumner resident 

and two-time winner 

of the event Erin Baker 

ARGUABLY THE greatest 

triathlete of all time will 

be quick to talk down her 

accomplishments when you ask 

her about them. 

In 1987 Erin Baker won 

her first Ironman World 

Championship and also smashed 

the women’s record at the time in 

Hawaii. She won the event again 

in 1990. Baker is one of only two 

triathletes to win all four world 

championships – Ironman, long 

distance, Olympic distance and 

duathlon. 

However, the humble Baker 

says her success came simply 

through hard work and growing 

up being “good at running, 

good at biking and good at 

swimming.” 

Good is an understatement – 

in 1994 she finished her triathlon 

career with a record of 104 wins 

from 121 triathlons – including 

four Ironman New Zealand 

titles, two world duathlon titles, 

two wins at Zofingen, four at 

Nice and two Olympic distance 

world titles. 

These days Baker, 58, takes 

the same approach to life she 

took when she was competing 

and makes sure she excels at 

whatever she is doing. She is the 

managing director of Orthomed 

– supplying hip replacement 

solutions and servicing a number 

of district health boards. 

Baker lives in Sumner with 

husband and fellow triathlete 

Scott Molina – who won the 1988 

World Ironman Championship. 

After retiring from triathlon 

Baker also had a stint as a city 

councillor representing the

ENDURANCE: Erin Baker won two Ironman World 

Championship titles in Hawaii and is widely regarded as a 

pioneer of the sport. 

Ferrymead Ward which she says 

came about because people knew 

her name and because she was at 

the top of the ballot. 

“That was the worst part of 

my life, therefore I got out of it 

. . . I never think anything is a 

mistake, but that is the thing I 

wouldn’t chose to do again if I 

had to start over,” said Baker. 

Baker was seen by many as 

a controversial figure while 

competing. She was outspoken 

about equal pay for men and 

women in triathlon and is one 

of the key reasons the sport 

has done so for more than two 

decades. 

However, she’s not sure the

“I enjoy anyone excelling 

in sport, but the way we are 

in New Zealand about maledominated 

sports is ridiculous. 

Least to say several have been 

extremely poor role models . . . 

when do you ever see a netballer

are in a scandal or embezzling 

money?”

these ridiculous nicknames they 

give to these guys. I don’t really 

care that he had a funny joke 

about a funny catch or whatever. 

Why do we make everything 

they do so great?” 

“Let’s just make it a little more 

balanced. There’s no equity 

anywhere because then the 

sponsors look at the men because 

the men are the ones being 

looked at, so the women don’t get 

the sponsorship.”

in 1981, which meant Baker 

couldn’t apply for a US visa for 

five years. 

“It’s no different than what 

people are doing now with 

climate change . . . it was an 

injustice, it’s wrong. Someone 

has to do something about it, so 

you go and do something about 

it,” she said. 

“It’s got a different set of 

issues to it, but it’s only through 

protest action that you change 

things and certainly I don’t 

know that any person in their 

right mind if they were looking 

at it clearly would think that 

a group of people by virtue of 

their colour would be considered 

legally inferior, which is what 

they were at the time . . . I 

wouldn’t change anything about 

that. It was a good thing to have 

done.” 

In the coming years Baker 

hopes to be able to spend less 

time working in the business 

herself and cast an eye towards 

retirement. While still unsure 

exactly what her next venture 

will look like, she has a fairly 

good idea what lines it is likely to 

follow. 

“I’ve always like supporting 

women, it’s just a thing, so I 

think something will come of 

a women’s aspect which I will 

do in my retirement,” said 

Baker.

National medals for boxers 

• By Jacob Page 

WOOLSTON BOXING Club 

coach Holly Sullivan is on 

the hunt for international 

opportunities for her twotime 

New Zealand champion, 

Hamuera Tainui. 

The 14-year-old won back-toback 

national titles at Hastings in 

the junior under-63kg class. 

“He’s a bit of a golden boy, he 

fought very well and deserved it,” 

Sullivan said. 

“He’s still young for a junior so 

it would be great to get him some 

more opportunities, particularly 

internationally. 

“That’s what I’m doing now, 

just see what opportunities may 

be out there just so he gets used 

to travelling and competing in a 

new environment.” 

Sullivan said while trips to 

Australia for junior camps 

were always beneficial, she said 

competitions further away like 

Ireland were in her sights. 

“It’s important to try to keep 

these guys in the sport and show 

others coming through what is 

possible. 

Hamuera’s gold medal was a 

highlight, but the Woolston team 

also managed three silver medals 

and a bronze. 

Trevor Swainson was second in 

the under-81kg elite class but received 

the best runner-up award 

at the tournament. 

“I thought Trev fought really 

well, he had three fights and 

earned that silver medal,” Sullivan 

said. 

WINNER: Woolston boxer Hamuera Tainui won his second 

national title at Hastings. 

PHOTO: HOLLY SULLIVAN 

Byron Antal also won silver in 

the junior 80kg plus category, 

“I think nerves got the better 

of Byron but he has the skills he 

just needs more fights,” she said. 

Ryley Sutherland was 

runner-up in the under-50kg 

cadet class. 

“He fought well but didn’t land 

the big, flashy blows probably he 

needed to win the fight,” Sullivan 

said. 

Tegan Burdett-Clark earned a 

bronze medal in the under-57kg 

elite class. 

Sullivan said it was a good 

return for the club at a pinnacle 

event of the year, but the hard 

work continues into the new 

year.

Wine 

Chardonnays to keep an eye out for 

• By Mark Henderson 

THIS WEEK’S assortment is a 

group of 2017 chardonnays. 

With Mr McLaren away travelling, 

McLaren jun joined my 

regular panelist, Mr Collins, and 

me to taste through a range from 

across the regions. 

A grapefruit note came up in 

one of the early wines, and once 

that character was identified, 

I kept finding it in most of the 

wines. 

The power of suggestion? A 

character of the vintage? Or perhaps 

my succumbing to cognitive 

bias? 

More study will be needed. 

2017 Mahi Alchemy Single 

Vineyard Marlborough 

Chardonnay 

Price: $39.90 

Rating: Excellent 

Gunflint, struck match, powerful 

peach and melon fruit, citrus 

with time. At first, playing in the 

sweet and sour spectrum with 

grapefruit in focus and biscuity/ 

oatmeal notes, but this fattens up 

nicely, aeration adding a wisp of 

buttered popcorn. 

All the while, there’s delicious

2017 Hunters Offshoot 

Marlborough Chardonnay 

Price: $34.99 

Rating: Very good to excellent 

Grapefruit, struck match, fresh 

baguette, a little toastiness. Powerful 

in the mouth, the lemony 

citrus notes play off grilled nuts 

and toasty elements, with stonefruit 

and apple joining in with 

aeration. Crisp, salivatory, there’s 

a real lip-smacking element to 

the acidity. 

Tightens a little over time, 

but a good swirl helps to coax it 

back. 

www.hunters.co.nz 

2017 Tohu Whenua Awa 

Single Vineyard Awatere 

Valley Chardonnay 

Price: $39.99 


Struck match, burnt toast, 

warm baguette, grapefruit. 

Showing its youthful side, yet 

also its richness, texture and 

supple acidity. Grilled nuts, 

caramel, some fruit pith bittersweet 

elements and a petrol-like 

note. 

This becomes more zesty with 

aeration but seems to be holding 

its cards close to its chest. 

www.tohuwines.co.nz 

2017 Craggy Range Les 

Beaux Cailloux Gimblett 

Gravels Chardonnay 

Price: $150 

Rating: Excellent 

Bonfire smoke, spices, peach 

almost a deeper register, developing 

perfume and struck 

match. This could be perceived 

as underpowered but there’s 

quiet depth in the mouth. This 

grows in texture, picking up 

notes of orange peel, spice and 

toffee, enlivened as the acidity 

becomes more racy. 

Elegant and with potential. 

www.craggyrange.com 

2017 Mahi Marlborough 

Chardonnay 

Price: $29 

Rating: Good to very good 

A little wild funkiness, wild 

yeast, matchstick and spice lead. 

Full and creamy entry with 

toasty oak in support and just 

when you think it might be a 

little soft, the racy acidity floods 

in, giving this a mouth-puckering 

lift. 

Quite linear through the 

mouth — as the matchstick subsumes 

a little cheesiness grows 

— though just a little short on 

the finish. 

www.mahiwine.co.nz 

2017 Pegasus Bay Waipara 

Chardonnay 

Price: $43 


Powerful struck match, wood 

smoke and toast notes, adding 

lactic hints and white peach. Real 

acid drive to this giving brisk 

freshness, leading with a bittersweet 

citrusy element reminding 

me of grilled grapefruit. 

Fragrant top notes and a long, 

mellow finish.

Food and a View to Die For! 

NESTLED on the hillside in Lyttelton is perhaps one of 

Canterbury’s best kept secrets - e Lyttelton Club - 

also known as the Top Club. But with recent 

renovations and a new master chef heading the kitchen, 

the word is out! 

Situated in the heart of Lyttelton the Top Club boasts 

some of the best harbour views in the area - evident the 

minute you step foot inside. An open plan bar drops 

down to the dining area with oor to ceiling windows 

providing a panoramic view. e innovative design and 

decor adds to the appeal making it instantly warm and 

inviting. What was previously the club restaurant has 

been transformed into a snug sports bar with pool table, 

TAB and even more amazing harbour views. 

e Bistro offers a compact yet diverse range of 

meals created by Master Chef Lloyd Millar. With over 

40 years experience, Lloyd has a wealth of experience. 

Born in Lyttelton and trained in Canterbury, Lloyd’s 

career has seen him in many notable kitchens not only 

across New Zealand but overseas too, including his 

private dining ‘Dinner By Design’ business. Recent years 

has seen him based predominately in Banks Peninsula 

where he has cooked at local greats including She Cafe 

in Governors Bay, the Akaroa Wharf Hotel, award 

winning Monster Yakitori Bar in Lyttelton, and the 

Fishermans Wharf in Lyttelton. 

While Lloyd’s food knowledge is extensive, he is 

renowned for his skill in Yakitori and for this reason the 

Club has installed a charcoal grill. So on the menu is a 

great selection of these delicious Japanese style skewers, 

as well as classic Sirloin, Ribeye and Italian style Sausage 

mains that are served with fries and garden salad. Other 

mains options include twice cooked Pork Belly, a choice 

of Burgers, Hoki & Chips, Dory Fillet, and a Potato, 

Chickpea Tofu Laska. ere is also a good selection of 

starters and desserts, as well as a kiddies menu. Gluten 

free, vegan and vegetarian options are also available. 

And price wise the menu is extremely affordable. 

e Bistro also offers regular specials, such as All You 

Can Eat Dumplings every Wednesday and a Sunday 

Carvery & Dessert at the end of each month. 

If you’re planning an event, the Top Club is well 

worth considering. Talk to Lloyd about holding a 

function. He can design catering to t any budget. 

In the bar there’s live coverage of international rugby 

with food and beverage specials accompanying All 

Blacks games, Housie at 7pm every Tuesday, and a 

lucky members draw every ursday at 5.30pm. And if 

you enjoy a utter the Club has a 12 machine gaming 

room and the one and only TAB facility in Lyttelton - 

something to keep in mind with Melbourne Cup and 

NZ Trotting Cup coming up next month. 

New members are most welcome. Enquire about 

joining today! For a limited time the club is offering $10 

memberships.

Ford Focus continues tradition of old 

Motoring 

Ross Kiddie 

WHEN I LOOK back over time 

I simply can’t understand why I 

let two of my favourite cars go to 

new owners, I made some very 

bad decisions. 

They were both three-door 

Escorts, a Mk 1 and Mk 2 Sport. 

Today I’m hankering to own 

an Escort again, but prices are 

astronomical and they don’t often 

come up for sale. 

The Escort of eras gone by 

represented honesty and sporty 

performance, depending on the 

model. Over the years it morphed 

into various shapes and designs, 

its concept retained in today’s Focus 

– the natural successor to that 

incredibly successful nameplate. 

The Focus has just been transformed 

for 2019, there are four 

models for New Zealand, three 

hatchbacks and a wagon. The 

latter has a 2-litre diesel engine, 

but all the others share a threecylinder 

petrol driveline. There 

are three levels of specification, a 

Trend opens the series at $31,990, 

ST-Line adds around $5000, 

while a Titanium variant lists at 

$41,990. This evaluation focuses 

on the latter (pardon the pun). 

For interest’s sake, the Trend 

wagon is listed at $37,990. 

The Titanium is plush, it is very 

well specced and a value choice. It 

is a compact car but it will easily 

cater for four, or even five when 

necessary. Each occupant gets a 

respectable amount of head and 

leg room, even in the rear. Load 

space is also on a par with what 

you would expect from a mid-size 

hatchback, but those interested 

in more cargo carrying ability 

could well be interested in the 

entry-level wagon, it would be my 

choice in the series. 

Under the bonnet sits the 

delightful three-cylinder, 1.5-litre 

engine. It must be said that threepotters 

are different in the way 

they sound and react, not that 

that is a problem, but there are 

harmonics which the occupants 

can pick up. I’m a big threecylinder 

engine fan, they develop 

strong low down torque, and that 

FORD FOCUS: Three-cylinder enigne. 

is what you want in any engine, 

and if you add in turbocharged 

boost then the Focus feels feisty 

and decisive when asked to perform. 

Ford claims a very impressive 

134kW (6000rpm) and 

240Nm power outputs from the 

twin-camshaft unit. The torque 

output is delivered low in the rev 

band at 1600rpm with a long, 

broad stretch to 4500rpm and 

that contributes to the feeling of 

willingness and urgency. Sure, 

a standstill to 100km/h time of 

8.9sec isn’t earth-shattering, but 

the Focus in this form does have 

punch through the mid-range 

and that’s what is important, it 

will easily make a 5sec 80km/h to 

120km/h overtaking manoeuvre. 

Drive is channelled through an 

eight-speed automatic transmission 

and it harnesses the available 

power beautifully, the proximity 

of ratios means the engine never 

goes off song and the correct gear 

is always selected for each moment. 

The gearing is such that it also 

makes economic use of fuel. Ford 

claims a 6.1l/100km (46mpg) 

combined cycle average. The fuel 

usage readout on the evaluation 

car was mostly listing around 

7.6l/100km (37mpg) with tempting 

4.6l/100km (61mpg) available 

instantaneously at 100km/h, the 

engine turning over leisurely at 

1600rpm. 

Like its predecessors, the Focus 

has quality handling. I’ve long 

admired the way European Fords 

tackle tight and twisty terrain, 

• Price – Ford Focus 

Titanium, $41,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4378mm; width, 1823mm; 

height, 1454mm 

• Configuration – Threecylinder, 

front-wheeldrive, 

1497cc, 134kW, 

240Nm, eight-speed 

automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 8.9sec 

• Fuel usage – 6.1l/100km 

the Focus steers with precision 

and accuracy. The Titanium-spec 

Focus does sit a little firm on the 

road and that has a lot to do with 

the low profile tyres (235/40 x 

18in), however, the ride isn’t compromised 

greatly, there is compliance 

within the suspension. 

Ford of New Zealand, and the 

dealerships, must still be happy 

with their position in the marketplace. 

Ranger is still the number 

one seller nationwide, and the rest 

of the Ford line-up is ticking over 

consistently. 

The Focus is there to tempt 

the small-to-mid hatchback 

(or wagon) buyer and it is very 

capable in all conditions. And 

with petrol sitting at around $2.20 

a litre, that wee engine is a real 

money-saver.
