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 />

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 />

function if it gets wet and having<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 />

have an opinion on a local<br />

issue? Email your views to<br />

jess.gibson@starmedia.kiwi<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 />

•From page 1<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 />

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 />

proactively gone out and done<br />

some incredible work for us in<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 />

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 />

What’s your view on:<br />

A proposal to modify the<br />

resource consent process<br />

for work on the reinstatement<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 />

at www.dpmc.govt.nz/cathedraloic<br />

Also, they are available on request from Christchurch City Council<br />

service centres and libraries and the main office of Selwyn and<br />

us in opening the store, other<br />

reduce their ecological footprint<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 />

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 />

to scandal – but this just might be her strangest assignment yet.<br />

Freda has never told her story to anyone before. But now she’s ready to set<br />

the record straight and to right a wrong that’s haunted her for forty years.<br />

Freda’s memoir begins with a 15-year-old girl falling madly in love with<br />

her teacher. It ends in a way Joely could never possibly have imagined.<br />

As the story unravels, Joely is spun deeper into a world of secrets and lies.<br />

Delving further into Freda’s past, Joely’s sure she can uncover the truth…<br />
