CONCERNS ARE mounting over<br />
boaties who have been flouting<br />
rules in Sumner <strong>Bay</strong>.<br />
In Canterbury, bylaws are<br />
regulated by Environment<br />
Canterbury with recreational<br />
boating activities overseen by the<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong>master’s Office.<br />
Bylaws include the<br />
requirement to wear personal<br />
flotation devices such as life<br />
jackets having someone in<br />
charge of the<br />
vessel and<br />
sticking to<br />
speed limits,<br />
among other<br />
things.<br />

McKay said since the start<br />
of alert level 2, the office has<br />
observed several breaches which<br />
have “compromised not only<br />
individuals own safety, but that of<br />
others on the water.”<br />

WAYNE JONES, owner<br />
of under-seige Akaroa<br />
restaurant Bully Hayes, has<br />
shown what you can do on<br />
the bounce back.<br />
When the controversy<br />
broke last week about Hayes’<br />
alleged slave trading, abduction<br />
and other deeds during<br />
the 1800s, Jones was put on<br />
the spot.<br />
Initially, he told media he<br />
might think about changing<br />
the name of the restaurant<br />
“further down the track” but<br />
at this stage, it was “not really<br />
a story”, and he declined<br />
to comment further.<br />
Jones must have slept on it,<br />
because the next day he was<br />
talking, indicating a change<br />
of restaurant name and giving<br />
the public an opportunity to<br />
have input into that.<br />
On pages 4 and 5 today we<br />
find out more about Jones.<br />

‘Behaviour like this is idiotic’<br />
•From page 1<br />
He said the bylaws exist to<br />
ensure the safety of all water<br />
users and to reduce conflicts<br />
between the different waterbased<br />
activities in an area.<br />
“[They] apply whether you are<br />
on a lake, river or the sea and<br />
regardless of whether you are<br />
swimming, jet skiing, kayaking<br />
or taking part in any other water<br />
activities.”<br />
The Sumner Lifeboat was<br />
recently called to assist three<br />
people in an inflatable boat 100m<br />
off Boulder <strong>Bay</strong>.<br />
The engine on the boat<br />
had stopped and one of the<br />
occupants was trying to swim<br />
to shore towing the boat behind<br />
him – none were wearing<br />
lifejackets.<br />
Said Mr McKay: “Behaviour<br />
like this is idiotic. It puts the<br />
lives of the people on board<br />
at risk, and wastes emergency<br />
services time.”<br />
Mr McKay said the<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong>master’s Office has<br />
observed numerous instances of<br />
unlawful activity including jet<br />
skis jumping waves and towing<br />
in foiling surfboards in reserved<br />
areas of Sumner <strong>Bay</strong>.<br />
“This area is dedicated<br />
specifically to swimmers,<br />
windsurfers, sailboarders,<br />
kitesurfers and the like.<br />
Power-driven vessels are<br />
prohibited.”<br />
He said 10 reports of such<br />
behaviour are currently<br />
being looked into by the<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong>master’s Office.<br />
“Another issue we are<br />
concerned about is speed. [It]<br />
should normally be kept below<br />
five knots when transiting the<br />
reserved area to or from the boat<br />
ramp.”<br />
Sumner Lifeboat crew member<br />
Howard Nicholls said people<br />
need to be aware of safe boating<br />
guidelines.<br />
“There’s a reason for the<br />
regulations, it’s to help make sure<br />

He said additional to the<br />
actual bylaws, people should give<br />
consideration to other things<br />
that will help improve safety<br />
like having a cellphone that will<br />

extra navigation measures for<br />

Iconic Bully Hayes moving forward<br />
Akaroa’s iconic restaurant<br />
Bully Hayes will be<br />
renamed after almost<br />
25 years, following an<br />
academic’s claims the<br />
current name honours<br />
slavery. Jess Gibson talks<br />
to owner Wayne Jones<br />
about his business and<br />
the changes ahead<br />
How did you come to own<br />
Bully Hayes?<br />
We bought the business over<br />
<strong>17</strong> years ago, but it was started<br />
about 24 years ago. It was an old<br />
state house on the property and<br />
part of it still remains which<br />
is built into the building. Two<br />
developers built it and ran it as a<br />
restaurant initially.<br />
We also bought another<br />
business that we renamed and<br />
rebranded about 11 years or so<br />
ago, L’Escargot Rouge, which we<br />
set up as a sister business to Bully<br />
Hayes. Me and my wife, we both<br />
own the businesses.<br />
How did the restaurant<br />
become so popular?<br />
It’s probably because it’s a place<br />
that has been here so long. It’s<br />
been here nearly 25 years now.<br />
A lot of restaurants come and<br />
go over a very short period of<br />
time. Bullys has been one of the<br />
places that hasn’t. Although it<br />
initially went through two or<br />
three owners in the first four or<br />
five years.<br />
I’ve been here for <strong>17</strong> and a half<br />
years nearly, and we’ve sort of<br />
built a brand around giving good<br />
customer service, looking after<br />
people and having good food<br />
and a great environment.<br />
What have been some of your<br />
best memories so far?<br />
I work pretty much full-time<br />
hands-on in the kitchen and on<br />
the premises, and for me, the<br />
enjoyment is the hospitality.<br />
I enjoy making people happy<br />
and talking to people, making<br />
sure we’re serving good food and<br />
looking after people.<br />
There have been lots of highs<br />
and lows we’ve gone through.<br />
COSTLY: Bully Hayes owner Wayne Jones said it will cost between $20-$30,000 to rename his<br />
“heavily branded” restaurant in Akaroa.<br />
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />
We had a fire next door which<br />
nearly burnt us down one time.<br />
We sort of just got ourselves back<br />
on our feet and then we were hit<br />
with the first earthquake.<br />
Then we got ourselves on our<br />
feet again and we got hit by the<br />
second earthquake.<br />
We’ve lived through a lot<br />
of trials and tribulations over<br />
the years but we’ve always got<br />
ourselves through and each time<br />
we’ve come back stronger.<br />
My enjoyment comes from<br />
people coming in and then<br />
always walking out the door<br />
saying “thank you very much, we<br />
greatly enjoyed it.”<br />
As a restaurant owner that’s<br />
probably the greatest gratification,<br />
you could ever receive.<br />
Why did you feel it was the<br />
right time to rebrand your<br />
business?<br />
The name change is extremely<br />
disappointing for the majority of<br />
our followers.<br />
I mean some are very supportive,<br />
but the majority are<br />
very sorry for us to have to go<br />
through this whole situation.<br />
But for us, to move forward,<br />
we’ve got to look at this in a<br />
positive light and to do that we<br />
want to put it out there to try and<br />
make it positive and hopefully<br />
try and keep everybody happy<br />
by giving everybody the input to<br />
looking for a new name.<br />
We’re not going to lose our<br />
brand, Bully Hayes, as well.<br />
That’s very important to us and<br />
it’s very important to our locals<br />
and our market.<br />
I don’t want it to be seen as a<br />
big back down, I do want it to<br />
be seen as progress in moving<br />
forward and changing the name<br />
is probably a very minor part of<br />
what we’re going to try and do.<br />
For us, there’s still the brand<br />
and what we will do is probably<br />
tell more of the story.<br />
In fact, I’ve been contacted by<br />
a number of actual historians<br />
and biographers of Bully Hayes,<br />
and there’s a lot of literature out<br />
there.<br />
Some of the most extensive<br />
work, Joan Druett has put out.<br />
I got an email yesterday with<br />
a Niuean Government website<br />
article about Bully Hayes. It<br />
was a very long article and very<br />
well written, it actually debunks<br />
majority of the things people are<br />
saying. The majority of those<br />
things are not true.<br />
Joan Druett says in her books<br />
a lot of it is myth, there’s nothing<br />
confirmed and a lot of it is<br />
hearsay. The sources that some of<br />
the stuff is coming from are very<br />
misleading or not truly accurate.<br />
While it may be out there<br />
and people love hearing the<br />
dramatised version of things and<br />
they like to hear the blood and<br />
the gore and everything else, the<br />
majority of it is not true.<br />
I think people should be aware<br />
of that.<br />
Joan Druett sent a lot of stuff<br />
to the media and none of that<br />
has been used because people<br />
like to hear the dramatised version<br />
of things.<br />
When people read it, the ones<br />
that were more shocked about<br />
it will actually think a little bit<br />
more about it – that in fact it isn’t<br />
as big a story as it’s all been made<br />
out to be.<br />
There are a lot of followers of<br />
what’s been happening who have<br />
contacted me who are actually<br />
very disappointed in the way this<br />
has been portrayed.<br />
What are some of the best<br />
names you have received so far?<br />
I’ve had a number which have<br />
been based around my name<br />
because I’m a public figure<br />
that’s here seven days a week<br />
(laughs). People have suggested<br />
the Jonesy’s, Wayne’s World and<br />
there has also been a number of<br />
wordplays on the current Bully<br />
Hayes.<br />
I’ve had a couple of writers<br />
ring me and suggest a couple<br />
of things like Hully <strong>Bay</strong>es and<br />
Bully Stays, and also there’s been<br />
a lot of references to hometown<br />
heroes, Frank Worsley has been<br />
one of the noted.<br />
Also, there’s been references<br />
to the nautical theme and references<br />
to the French. There’s been<br />
a wide list of names that have<br />
been put out there.<br />
We’re gonna put it all together<br />
and we’ll put it out to a large<br />
group of regulars who are here<br />
through the week and see what<br />
their preference is.<br />
The strongest suggestion that’s<br />
in the box, by the biggest majority,<br />
is to keep the name. Also<br />
by email and Facebook it’s the<br />
strongest.<br />
The Facebook post has created<br />
a massive tirade of views from all<br />
quarters.<br />
A big chunk of it is about not<br />
giving in and a big chunk of it is<br />
that Bully Hayes is Bully Hayes.<br />
Regardless, that’s the name<br />
they know and the name they<br />
recognise, and it’s the name they<br />
want to stay.<br />

in Wayne’s world<br />
What will it take to<br />
rebrand your restaurant?<br />
Rebranding a restaurant<br />
is a massive and very expensive<br />
task.<br />
It’s not just coming up<br />
with a name, there’s all the<br />
design work that comes<br />
into putting that name into<br />
something visual, then<br />
using that visual to create<br />
what you’re trying to sell to<br />
somebody.<br />
I mean we’ve got a massively<br />
branded environment<br />
here, so yeah, it’s<br />
an extremely expensive<br />
exercise.<br />
While we might take the<br />
name part of it over initially,<br />
it’s going to be gradual,<br />
because there’s no way<br />
you can physically spend<br />
$20-$30,000 in the current<br />
environment where we are<br />
struggling to survive.<br />
What has business been<br />
like after lockdown?<br />
We’re sort of just holding<br />
ground. We are probably at<br />
about 70 per cent of what<br />
we would normally be at<br />
this time of year.<br />
That’s our problem, we’re<br />
not trading bad enough<br />
for subsidies or to get help,<br />
and we’re not trading good<br />
enough to make money. So<br />
it’s a real ‘catch 22’ at the<br />
moment.<br />
How long have you lived<br />
in Akaroa and what do<br />
you like most about living<br />
there?<br />
I actually spent a lot of<br />
time here as a teenager, I<br />
had friends who had baches<br />
in Wainui.<br />
Then I moved up to<br />
Wellington and I studied<br />
hospitality management.<br />
I ended up working in<br />
Wellington for <strong>17</strong> to 18<br />
years and travelling overseas<br />
working in Europe.<br />
Then I came back to<br />
Wellington and worked up<br />
there for a couple of years<br />
and decided it was time<br />
to look at our roots and<br />
DEBUNKED: Wayne Jones has been contacted by<br />
several historians who say that many of the claims<br />
made about Bully Hayes are not true or have been<br />
over-exaggerated.<br />
we sort of looked around<br />
places we’d had an association<br />
with, and Akaroa<br />
really appealed.<br />
It had that nice seaside,<br />
quiet small-town (vibe) that<br />
we really enjoyed when we<br />
worked and lived in France<br />
for a couple of years.<br />
So Akaroa was very<br />
much the logical place.<br />
We found a business and<br />
moved here <strong>17</strong> and a half<br />
years ago, and we haven’t<br />
moved since.<br />
My wife, Joanna and I<br />
also wanted to find a nice<br />
environment to have our<br />
family and bring them<br />
up, and Akaroa has really<br />
proved to be the perfect<br />
place for that.<br />
What do you do when<br />
you’re not working?<br />
I have three boys who<br />
are all at Boys’ High in<br />
Christchurch.<br />
My time off is usually in<br />
the winter, and with winter<br />
sports I enjoy spending<br />
time with the kids and<br />
their rugby and sporting<br />
endeavours in Christchurch.<br />
That, and skiing with the<br />
family. Every year we go<br />
away for a week or two and<br />
that’s usually my breakaway.<br />
Other than that my<br />
time is pretty much based<br />
around the business. It<br />
is very much a hands-on<br />
business if you want to<br />
be successful and make it<br />
work and keep going.<br />
If you could choose<br />
three people to have<br />
dinner with at your<br />
restaurant, who would<br />
you choose?<br />
Graham Henry would<br />
stand out to be one.<br />
We actually did a rugby<br />
club fundraiser dinner last<br />
year and he was a guest<br />
speaker.<br />
I had a chat with him<br />
afterwards and he was a<br />
“wealth of knowledge” sort<br />
of guy.<br />
Peter Gordon would be<br />
one on the food side of it.<br />
His knowledge and creativity<br />
in using New Zealand<br />
as a sounding block for<br />
putting food out around the<br />
world - he’s pretty much the<br />
one man who’s conquered it<br />
in my mind.<br />
And I think Richie<br />
McCaw. I’ve had a strong<br />
background in rugby,<br />
following and playing it<br />
through the years.<br />
He’s got the gift that<br />
makes him the most<br />
likeable guy.<br />

Your Local Views<br />
Readers respond to<br />
the design for the new<br />
Lyttelton Musuem<br />
Brian Saunders – It<br />
appears the architect has tried<br />
to reflect the harbour basin<br />
mountains especially the Mt<br />
Herbert / Mt Evans area in<br />
the design. This may look<br />
good in a rural setting but does<br />
nothing to add to the character,<br />
and feel of the existing town<br />
buildings.<br />
Even after the loss of<br />
significant buildings from<br />
London St, Lyttelton has<br />
character. I feel the new<br />
museum building along with<br />
the massive complex earmarked<br />
for the Collett’s Corner site will<br />
alter forever the essence of our<br />
town.<br />
A visual design with a<br />
Victorian look would be much<br />
more in keeping.<br />
If the museum people go<br />
with the metallic look maybe it<br />
should be more in keeping with<br />
the nautical theme. Is the design<br />
suppose to be the hull of a ship?<br />
It’s hard to tell from the photo<br />
what the architect is trying to<br />
convey?<br />
Brian Johnston – I am<br />
somewhat shocked. It looks like<br />
a foundry.<br />
Jammed in between two<br />
buildings does not help.<br />
I suggest the new museum<br />
•HAVE YOUR SAY: Do you<br />

should be on a standalone<br />
site. Space and maybe the odd<br />
outside exhibit.<br />
I am more inclined to a<br />
modern art deco look. A bit of<br />
yesterday and at the same time<br />
a modern look.<br />
Fay and John Jeffery<br />
– I am writing to show my<br />
displeasure at the design concept<br />
of the proposed Lyttelton<br />
museum building.<br />
It will definitely not fit in with<br />
the other buildings in Lyttelton<br />
with that design concept it will<br />
look like a heap of rusty junk, a<br />
blight on the landscape.<br />
A reader respond to calls<br />
for safety improvements at<br />
the Coastal Cliffs walkway<br />
in Church <strong>Bay</strong> where April<br />
Morel fell to her death in<br />
March.<br />
Richard Smith – There’s no<br />
way council’s stretched budget<br />
should be used for this, although<br />
the accident is terribly traumatic<br />
for the family and friends, we<br />
have to accept responsibility for<br />
our actions, take appropriate care<br />
and acknowledge the conditions,<br />
especially relevant as it says she<br />
was familiar with the track.<br />
Dyers Rd is the same, many<br />
thousands have safely negotiated<br />
this road for years, if you drive<br />
off the edge it’s your own fault,<br />
unless, of course, someone<br />
crashes into you. The council<br />
shouldn’t be spending on this<br />
either.<br />

Residents had been using<br />
the store to top up the grocery<br />
shopping they do at other<br />
supermarkets, and it became<br />
unsustainable for it to remain as<br />
a New World.<br />
Some customers were frustrated<br />
when Foodstuffs South Island<br />
said they had plans to rebrand<br />
to a Four Square in March, and<br />
there was also negative reaction<br />
when it was announced 19 jobs<br />
would be affected by the transition.<br />
But supermarket operator<br />
Heath de Garnham said the<br />
feedback has been “pretty good”<br />
since reopening.<br />
He said adjusting the store’s<br />
layout took about one month<br />
and rebranding took a week –<br />
his favourite part was the new<br />

Redcliffs School rejoins its community<br />
After nine<br />
long years,<br />
having<br />
schooled<br />
an entire of<br />
generation<br />
of children<br />
outside of their home<br />
suburb, Te Raekura/<br />
Redcliffs School principal<br />
Rose McInerney reflects<br />
on the school’s pending<br />
return home on Monday<br />
WHEN WE first moved offsite<br />
back in 2011, it was a temporary<br />
move. We thought a few months,<br />
perhaps a year at the most. None<br />
of us could have possibly imagined<br />
the road that lay ahead.<br />
It is with immense relief that<br />
can we now put that journey<br />
behind us, moving into our<br />
wonderful new school with a renewed<br />
sense of energy. The sense<br />
of both excitement and relief in<br />
the community is palpable.<br />
This community spirit is<br />
something we’ve witnessed<br />
throughout our time away. We’ve<br />
never been disconnected from<br />
Redcliffs, and we have had such<br />
enormous support from our<br />
community.<br />
So many of you have helped us.<br />
Whether it’s been by marching<br />
alongside us to show the Minister<br />
how we all felt, writing letters or<br />
LONG JOURNEY: (From right) Redcliffs School’s former principal<br />
Kim Alexander and principal Rose McInerney stand outside the<br />
new campus with Board of Trustees members who have been<br />
involved since the Canterbury earthquakes.<br />
PHOTO: FORGET ME NOT PHOTOGRAPHY<br />
postcards to politicians, signing<br />
our petition, donating to help with<br />
our legal fees and other expenses,<br />
sending those emails, texts and<br />
care packages – your help has<br />
meant so much. Thank you.<br />
Our return is down to the<br />
tenacity and doggedness of<br />
many, many wonderful people,<br />
volunteering your time and<br />
playing an integral part. It has<br />
all been worthwhile – it will really<br />
be something special to see<br />
Redcliffs children again making<br />
their way to and from school<br />
along our streets.<br />
Te Raekura Redcliffs School<br />
We will be opening under our<br />
new name, Te Raekura Redcliffs<br />
School. Our name translates<br />
literally to ‘The Red Cliffs”, and<br />
reflects the red, glowing headlands<br />
that were an important feature for<br />
Ngāi Tahu when returning from<br />
sea. The name, along with many<br />
others we are already using across<br />
the school, was gifted to the school<br />
by Mātauraka Mahaanui, an<br />
organisation established to include<br />
Māori and Ngāi Tahu content in<br />
Christchurch’s rebuilt schools after<br />
the earthquakes.<br />
Redcliffs steadily rebuilds<br />
In February 2011, we had a roll<br />
of just over 400 children. Many<br />
of these families left Redcliffs<br />
while their homes were being<br />
rebuilt, and others moved away<br />
for a range of reasons.<br />
We’ve seen steady roll growth<br />
since our return to the suburb<br />
was guaranteed, and I’m pleased<br />
to say that Te Raekura Redcliffs<br />
School will open with a first<br />
day roll of 210 pupils. Our new<br />
school has been built for 300<br />
children, and we have a masterplan<br />
for growth to 400.<br />
A lasting legacy<br />
As a tribute to the school he<br />
was so closely involved in saving,<br />
former Board of Trustees member<br />
Mark Robberds has crafted a<br />
stone wall at the school entrance.<br />
We are so grateful to Mark for<br />
all he did to support the school’s<br />
return. His wall represents the<br />
legacy of a succession of board<br />
members, school staff, and the<br />
wider school community, who<br />
worked tirelessly to ensure Redcliffs<br />
retained its primary school.<br />
Celebrating our return<br />
The children’s first day of<br />
school is on Monday. As our<br />
move back to Redcliffs draws<br />
near, we have been planning how<br />
we will celebrate our return and<br />
officially open our wonderful<br />
new school.<br />
Next Thursday, the school<br />
will be officially opened by<br />
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern,<br />
with entertainment by Redcliffs<br />
students (and supported by<br />
Dave Dobbyn!). Given the<br />
capacity of our new hall, this<br />
event will be for invited guests.<br />
We know many more in our<br />
community would love to<br />
take part. We will be live streaming<br />
the event to our Facebook<br />
page, which you can follow – it’s<br />
called ‘Support Redcliffs School’.<br />
Redcliffs School open days<br />
We warmly invite you to book a<br />
place for a tour of the new school<br />
during one of our four open days.<br />
They will all be held at 2pm<br />
on July 2, July 19, July 31 and<br />
August 2.<br />
Numbers are limited, and<br />
open day bookings are required<br />
by phoning or emailing the<br />
school office with subject title<br />
‘Open Day’ and the date you<br />
wish to attend. Email: office@<br />
redcliffs.school.nz or phone<br />
384 3853.<br />
An enormous thank you to<br />
our community, from us all,<br />
for your support over these<br />
past nine years. I know that the<br />
smiles on the children’s faces on<br />
Monday morning will make it all<br />
worthwhile.<br />

A cheque was presented to<br />

pea straw sales in Redcliffs in<br />
Sumner last month.<br />
Club member Bill Newsom<br />

as it sold more than 900 bales<br />
of pea straw, 250 bags of compost<br />
and “a lot” of Nitrophoska fertiliser.<br />

its food bank.<br />
“When we’ve got a community<br />

THE FANTAIL is surely one<br />
of the most well known and<br />
loved birds. Who does not enjoy<br />
watching this tiny bird with its<br />
distinctive fanned tail, happy<br />
chattering and curiosity causing<br />
it to come within arm’s reach?<br />
You may have even been lucky<br />
enough to have seen a black<br />
fantail, which only make up five<br />
per cent of the fantails. Don’t let<br />
them scare you when you do see<br />
one, it really is only a myth when<br />
you hear that they are harbingers<br />
of bad luck.<br />
Both male and female share<br />
the task of incubating the eggs<br />
but as soon as they hatch the female<br />
will leave it up to the male<br />
to feed the chicks, as she will<br />
leave to start building another<br />
nest for the next clutch of eggs.<br />
When the chicks from the<br />
first nest can fend for themselves<br />
the male will find her and share<br />
incubation, followed by feeding<br />
the chicks and so on and so on.<br />
They can nest up to four times<br />
every season.<br />
Note that the male will need to<br />
feed the chicks every 10min, so<br />
he is kept super busy doing this<br />
feeding by himself. Those nests<br />
by the way are super-soft, comfy<br />
and cleverly constructed using<br />
BIRDS OF THE ESTUARY<br />
Tanya Jenkins is the manager of the Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust, a<br />
non-profit organisation formed in 2002 to protect one of New Zealand’s most<br />
important coastal wetlands. Each week she introduces a new bird found in the<br />
estuary. Her column aims to raise the understanding of the values and uniqueness<br />
of the area.<br />
Harsh weather not kind to fantail<br />

The fantail does not cope<br />
very well in harsh winters as<br />
unfortunately, being so small<br />
and fragile they can not survive<br />
harsh frosts. For this reason,<br />
don’t be surprised if on a frosty<br />
day you open your woodshed<br />
or garage to find fantails<br />
sheltering from the cold.<br />
How can we help the fantail to<br />
thrive? Controlling rats in your<br />
garden as they are the key predator<br />
of the fantail.<br />
During winter hang or place<br />
a shallow bowl in a tree with<br />
sugary water to give them extra<br />
energy. As they only eat insects<br />
they will not feed from your<br />
birdseed feeder.<br />

A proposal to modify the<br />

of Christ Church Cathedral<br />
The resource consent process can be modified under the<br />
Christ Church Cathedral Reinstatement Act 20<strong>17</strong> (the Act)<br />
by an Order in Council (Order) made by the Governor-General.<br />
Before a final decision is made to recommend the proposed<br />
Order to the Governor-General, the Act requires it to be<br />
tested robustly. This includes seeking your feedback on<br />
an explanation document that sets out:<br />
• an explanation of what the proposal is intended to achieve;<br />
• a description of the proposed effect of the Order; and<br />
• an explanation of why the Minister considers that the Order<br />
is necessary or desirable for the purpose of the Act.<br />
Let us know your views on the explanation document<br />
The document can be viewed and written comment made online<br />

Deneale’s BANANA BREAD<br />
your ecological footprint<br />

a desire for our family to shop<br />
more sustainably,” said Deneale<br />
Knox, co-owner. “The intent for<br />
us in opening the store, other<br />
than supplying great quality and<br />
ethically produced products is to<br />
focus on sustainability by catering<br />
to the growing desire for people to<br />
reduce their ecological footprint<br />
by abandoning unnecessary plastic<br />
waste.”<br />
Warm and welcoming, the store<br />
has a clean and simple layout that<br />
provides the perfect background<br />
to showcase the array of stock<br />
on offer. An amazing range of<br />
mainly organic pantry goods<br />
including gluten free and paleo<br />
alternative flours are available in<br />
bulk bins along the walls, there is<br />
an Eco Store Station for re-filling<br />
household cleaning products, and<br />
of course, they use compostable<br />
packaging. Food For Thought also<br />
stock some retail items including<br />
keep cups and gift packs.<br />
Amongst the quality brands they<br />
stock are highly respected Frank<br />

Broken<br />
by Don Winslow<br />
In six intense novellas connected by the themes of<br />
crime, corruption, vengeance, justice, loss, betrayal,<br />
guilt and redemption, Broken is #1 international<br />
bestseller Don Winslow at his nerve-shattering, heartstopping,<br />
heartbreaking best. In Broken, he creates a<br />
world of high-level thieves and low-life crooks, obsessed<br />
cops struggling with life on and off the job, private<br />
detectives, dope dealers, bounty hunters and fugitives, the lost souls<br />
driving without headlights through the dark night on the American criminal<br />
highway.<br />
With his trademark blend of insight, humanity, humor, action and the<br />
highest level of literary craftsmanship, Winslow delivers a collection of<br />
tales that will become classics of crime fiction.<br />
