Tough terrain ambulance in service<br />

Call for<br />

community<br />

hub for<br />

elderly<br />

in Lyttelton<br />

LIFESAVER: A St John First Response Unit is now operating in Banks Penisula and will help residents in need<br />

who live in remote areas regular ambulances can’t access.<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

A NEW St John First Response<br />

Unit is servicing Banks<br />

Peninsula.<br />

The Volkswagen four-wheeldrive<br />

vehicle is specifically<br />

designed to be able to access remote<br />

areas and more rough terrain<br />

than a regular ambulance.<br />

your local...<br />

Banks Peninsula’s new vehicle<br />

has been operating for the last<br />

few weeks.<br />

Response units were first<br />

introduced around various<br />

locations in New Zealand last<br />

year.<br />

The new response unit was<br />

funded by donors who wish<br />

to remain anonymous but on<br />

friendly pharmacy<br />

the vehicle there is recognition<br />

of their gesture which reads:<br />

“Kindly donated by Gene, Lofty<br />

and Shorty and their Good<br />

Shepherd.”<br />

Said St John Christchurch<br />

metro territory manager Ian<br />

Rex: “The new Volkswagen unit<br />

is smaller than a traditional<br />

ambulance which means it is<br />

more suited to narrow roads and<br />

the challenging terrain of the<br />

peninsula. It will be crewed by<br />

volunteers.<br />

“The First Response Unit<br />

will mean volunteers will stay<br />

closer to home during a callout,<br />

transporting a patient to another<br />

ambulance or a rescue helicopter<br />

then returning to base,’’ he said.<br />

A COMMUNITY hub for the<br />

elderly is needed in order to<br />

combat feelings of isolation and<br />

loneliness, a Lyttelton resident<br />

says.<br />

Alison Ross said the absence of<br />

a community hub where the elderly<br />

can congregate and socialise<br />

was contributing to poor wellbeing<br />

outcomes for Lyttelton’s<br />

older generation.<br />

“Why does Lyttelton not have<br />

a community centre when every<br />

other community from Sumner<br />

to Akaroa have a community<br />

centre?” she said.<br />

“With the elderly, there are a<br />

lot of people who don’t have anywhere<br />

to go to talk to their friends<br />

and peers and stuff like that.”<br />

Banks Peninsula Community<br />

Board chairwoman Tori Peden<br />

said the Lyttelton Recreation<br />

Centre could possibly operate as a<br />

hub in the future as it undergoes a<br />

reactivation process.<br />

“They [Lyttelton Recreation<br />

Centre] are looking at having<br />

a range of activities for the<br />

community and that includes the<br />

elderly,” she said.<br />

Council must clear beach rocks Loneliness<br />

THE CITY council must<br />

now clear Clifton Beach of a<br />

rocky eyesore exposed after<br />

construction of the coastal<br />

pathway.<br />

Environment Canterbury<br />

has told the council to remove<br />

all rock spoil on the beach to<br />

return it to its once virtually<br />

uninterrupted, sandy state.<br />

The move<br />

has been<br />

lauded as<br />

vindication for<br />

the Redcliffs<br />

Residents<br />

Association,<br />

which first<br />

Pat<br />

McIntosh<br />

raised the issue<br />

with the council<br />

a year ago.<br />

“This is a<br />

significant step forward, and not<br />

something the council can argue<br />

with,” association secretary Pat<br />

McIntosh said.<br />

“Now, we would like to see a<br />

timely plan from the council,<br />

in order to fix the problem once<br />

and for all.”<br />

In a compliance monitoring<br />

report obtained by <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong><br />

News, ECan says the beach was<br />

more affected by the rocks than<br />

previously.<br />

Their effect was deemed minor<br />

in March, but worsened as<br />

rocks were exposed ahead of an<br />

August site assessment.<br />

“It is now time to require<br />

[the city council] to remove the<br />

rock spoil on the beach between<br />

the car park and Shag Rock/<br />

Rapanui to return this part of<br />

the beach to its previously sandy<br />

surface to a point where amenity<br />

values are less effected.”<br />

ECan notes spoil from the<br />

excavation and works associated<br />

with the coastal pathway were<br />

left on the beach in the inter<br />

tidal zone.<br />

Natural processes were expected<br />

to redistribute the rocks<br />

and maintain the beach. This<br />

was consistent with a condition<br />

to the works’ consent, ECan’s<br />

report says.<br />

However, the excavation<br />

pulled up rocks from several<br />

metres under the sand. They<br />

changed the “character” of the<br />

sandy beach.<br />

“Periods of coastal degradation”<br />

were revealing the material.<br />

Rocks were concentrated<br />

around the high tide mark,<br />

where the beach degraded in a<br />

line roughly 15m to 20m from<br />

the revetment.<br />

“The beach has changed and<br />

ROUGH:<br />

Exposed<br />

rocks on<br />

Clifton<br />

Beach will<br />

be cleared<br />

by the city<br />

council.<br />

the amenity value of the sandy<br />

beach that people enjoyed, has<br />

been reduced by the rocks that<br />

have been exposed.<br />

“The sandy beach from the<br />

sea wall to 20m down the beach<br />

has been replaced with a rocky<br />

beach with varying concentrations<br />

and sizes of material.”<br />

ECan produced its report on<br />

August 7.<br />

A council spokeswoman<br />

confirmed the council was<br />

“working through the options<br />

and the implications that<br />

those options may have on the<br />

environment.”<br />

• From page 1<br />

Lyttelton Recreation Centre<br />

facility manager Nathan Mauger<br />

confirmed the centre was moving<br />

towards becoming more of a<br />

community hub.<br />

“We are looking<br />

to enhance<br />

the area to<br />

cater for the<br />

elderly as well as<br />

everybody else,<br />

Nathan<br />

it is just about<br />

ensuring we are<br />

providing suit-<br />

Mauger<br />

able opportunities,” he said.<br />

Age Concern Canterbury chief<br />

executive Simon Templeton said<br />

loneliness was a particular problem<br />

for those over 65.<br />

“We definitely know that the<br />

over-65 population are more<br />

negatively affected by loneliness<br />

compared to other groups. There<br />

was an Otago University study<br />

that indicated 21 per cent of over<br />

65-year-olds, which is a huge<br />

number, are affected by loneliness,”<br />

he said.<br />

He believed it was important<br />

for options at alleviating the situation<br />

in Lyttelton to be at least<br />

considered, especially under a<br />

Covid-19 climate.<br />

“If the residents are identifying<br />

a problem and coming up with<br />

a solution, it is something that<br />

definitely should be looked at.”<br />

​Dyson signs off after 27 years<br />

AT THE beginning of August,<br />

I was privileged to have the<br />

opportunity to give my final<br />

speech in Parliament – my<br />

valedictory.<br />

It’s a fine tradition in New<br />

Zealand, where Members who<br />

have chosen to not seek re-election<br />

have the chance to reflect<br />

on their time as representatives,<br />

usually noting the highlights<br />

of their time and perhaps challenges<br />

for the future.<br />

I opened my address in Te<br />

Reo, then spoke in New Zealand<br />

Sign Language, then Samoan<br />

and then English. My Samoan<br />

contribution was a reflection that<br />

in my maiden speech I spoke in<br />

Samoan as a tribute to the fact<br />

that our first ever Pacifica Member<br />

of Parliament was elected at<br />

the same time as I was elected.<br />

Speaking in NZSL was a celebration<br />

of the fact that NZSL is an<br />

official language, a law change I<br />

was particularly proud to introduce.<br />

I recall when we were sworn<br />

in after the last election and Mr<br />

Speaker ruled that MPs could<br />

swear the oath in the own first<br />

language if they chose and we<br />

saw seven different languages<br />

used. I was very proud of the<br />

fact that our Parliament is much<br />

more representative of our communities<br />

than when I<br />

first entered.<br />

In my valedictory, I acknowledged<br />

the huge support I have received<br />

from the Labour team in<br />

my electorate (variously named<br />

Lyttelton, Banks Peninsula and<br />

Port Hills), the fantastic work<br />

of my staff both in and outside<br />

Parliament and the confidence<br />

that my constituents have placed<br />

in me. It is very humbling.<br />

I was elected in November<br />

1993 in the last first past the<br />

post election and have served<br />

since then for 27 years. I have<br />

been privileged to not just be a<br />

Member of Parliament but have<br />

also held a wide range of Ministerial<br />

Portfolios, Chief Whip for<br />

Labour and am ending my time<br />

as Assistant Speaker.<br />

Although I have a number of<br />

key favourites amongst my portfolios<br />

and laws and policies I was<br />

able to introduce, being the first<br />

Minister for Disability Issues is<br />

probably the highlight.<br />

But the part of my role that I<br />

Ruth Dyson<br />

Member of Parliament Port Hills<br />

Valedictory Column<br />

have enjoyed most (and I will<br />

definitely miss the most), is<br />

working with our communities<br />

to support (or on occasions oppose)<br />

initiatives and also to help<br />

and support individuals.<br />

The range of issues that<br />

constituents ask for help in<br />

resolving is very diverse – from<br />

neighbours’ noise or trees, to immigration<br />

or ACC challenges, to<br />

even more serious issues of lack<br />

of money to pay the power bill or<br />

homelessness.<br />

Every day is different. And often<br />

people contact me when they<br />

have tried many avenues and so<br />

are frustrated and exhausted.<br />

It is just so satisfying to be able<br />

to find the right people to get<br />

stuff sorted for them.<br />

Our lives in Canterbury have<br />

been very different since <strong>September</strong><br />

2010, when our series of<br />

earthquakes started.<br />

In our electorate, the worst<br />

started on February 22, 2011,<br />

when we lost so many lives,<br />

STEPPING DOWN: Port Hills MP Ruth Dyson reflects on<br />

her various roles and responsibilities over her 27 year<br />

career.<br />

homes jobs and so many worlds<br />

were turned upside down. Our<br />

communities reached out to<br />

each other and offered so much<br />

practical and emotional support<br />

– hope to people who were left in<br />

deeply distressing situations.<br />

Our two volunteer fire<br />

brigades, Lyttelton and Sumner,<br />

alongside the Woolston crews,<br />

did extraordinary things and<br />

earned our respect forever.<br />

They left their own wrecked<br />

homes and not knowing where<br />

their families were, to help<br />

others. • Turn to page 8<br />

AdvERTORIAL<br />

THE RACE IS STILL<br />

ON – WE HOPE!<br />

What a year of disruption it has been!<br />

For all of us - sport, business, health,<br />

family and just in general LIFE<br />

The running of the 59 th Governors <strong>Bay</strong><br />

to Lyttleton Road race is still dependant on<br />

what level of Covid we are operating under<br />

at the time of the race but we’ve made a<br />

commitment to go ahead if at all possible.<br />

Consequently our organisation and publicity is<br />

still all go and should we have to cancel at the<br />

last minute we will refund any race fees paid.<br />

A feature of the race are the spot and<br />

perfomance prizes of flowers plus a<br />

flower to take away for each finisher. The<br />

handicaped nature of the event means there<br />

is a staggered start from the Governors <strong>Bay</strong><br />

School with slower runners starting earlier to<br />

ensure everyone finishes at a similar time at<br />

Charlotte Jane Quay in Lyttleton<br />

As with other businesses, the race<br />

sposer AROMAUNGA FLOWERS has had<br />

to adapt to keep operating. Straight after<br />

the Covid lockdown Aromaunga opened a<br />

very sucessful drive through flower shop.<br />

Business boomed with clients calling in<br />

to get their flowers after 5 weeks of being<br />

shut at home and deprived of some of<br />

the pleasures of life. One early car full of<br />

customers called in with their first takeaway<br />

coffees in hand to also purchase flowers.<br />

Another was a surfer still in wetsuit calling in<br />

after his first surf to buy flowers for home.<br />

Regular customers appreciated being able<br />

to brighten the homes with flowers again.<br />

So hopefully we will see as many of you<br />

as possible on race day <strong>September</strong> 19th<br />

and periodically as you call in for flowers at<br />

AROMAUNGA to brighten your day.<br />

Working with communities a huge highlight<br />

• From page 6<br />

In the Parliamentary debate<br />

about the Earthquake Recovery<br />

Bill, I asked for three things.<br />

I asked that the voice of our<br />

communities be heard and<br />

that local people should be the<br />

drivers of our recovery, I asked<br />

for the process to be open and<br />

transparent, and I asked for the<br />

recovery to be at a good pace.<br />

None of these things happened<br />

and we have disempowerment<br />

and frustration as a result.<br />

We still have inadequately or<br />

unrepaired homes. But the worst<br />

inaction from my perspective<br />

was the refusal by the then Minister<br />

to support rock fall protection<br />

for homes.<br />

Because of a political decision,<br />

perfectly good homes (which<br />

could easily and comparatively<br />

cheaply have been made safe)<br />

were demolished. My thanks to<br />

the Christchurch City Council<br />

for stepping in and making it<br />

possible.<br />

We have had flooding from<br />

the Heathcote River and the<br />

devastation of the Port Hills<br />

fires. And just last year, the<br />

unbelievable terrorist attack<br />

that stunned our city and our<br />

country. Our response to all<br />

these tragedies has been so telling<br />

and so powerful.<br />

Our local campaign to get<br />

SAILING AWAY: Dyson speaks at the opening of the Mt<br />

Pleasant Yacht Club boat shed, 2017.<br />

the then Minister of Education<br />

to reverse her proposal to close<br />

Redcliffs School saw a generation<br />

of a strong call to action, a sense<br />

of unity and pride and a flurry of<br />

prolonged and relentless activity<br />

from a community which knew<br />

that our school was at the heart<br />

of our community and it was<br />

going to stay there (albeit it on<br />

a new site). The opening was a<br />

magnificent celebration of the<br />

strength of the broader school<br />

community.<br />

I have enjoyed watching the<br />

growing movement of understanding<br />

and support for cleaning<br />

up our rivers and estuary as<br />

well as planting and pest eradication<br />

on the Port Hills.<br />

There is a growing appreciation<br />

of the beauty of what we have and<br />

the need to work hard to ensure<br />

its future protection.<br />

Now, as I move on to the next<br />

phase of my life (and no, I don’t<br />

have anything planned yet), we<br />

sit in a world being challenged by<br />

the Covid-19 pandemic.<br />

Once again, New Zealanders<br />

have given up so much for the<br />

wellbeing of our nation.<br />

We need to continue to “Back<br />

our Backyard” as we continue on<br />

the next phase of the challenge –<br />

keeping our businesses going and<br />

RELAXED:<br />

Dyson at home<br />

in the garden<br />

with her<br />

husband Martin<br />

Ward.<br />

people in work.<br />

We live in a nation where,<br />

overwhelmingly, people are<br />

respectful and inclusive. We<br />

look out for each other and help<br />

people in need. I am proud of<br />

being a New Zealander and feel<br />

so privileged to have been your<br />

representative in our Parliament.<br />

Thoughtfully designed to respond to the magnificent<br />

Sumner seascape, this tastefully refurbished<br />

apartment offers an immensely lowmaintenance<br />

lifestyle in one of the city's finest<br />

beachside settings.<br />

Enjoying easy-care construction and benefiting<br />

from a clever design, this north-facing<br />

property showcases style and comfort with<br />

upgrades in both the kitchen and bathrooms.<br />

The open plan living and dining area forms the<br />

social centre of the home and flows directly off<br />

the kitchen for easy entertaining.<br />

Embracing the outdoors is effortless with the<br />

superbly positioned hardwook d deck basking in<br />

afternoon sunshine while the designer courtyard<br />

provides a brilliant backdrop for afternoon<br />

drinks or evening meals during summertime.<br />

Magnificent sea views will have you staying in,<br />

especially from the top level bedroom with its<br />

amazing round window giving you an eye over<br />

the admirable seascape. The other two bedrooms<br />

positioned on the middle level are supported<br />

by a well-sized bathroom, and the presence<br />

of a single garage completes the package.<br />

Situated upon a private rear section that's mere<br />

footsteps from the sea and a short stroll from<br />

the myriad of amenities in Sumner village, this<br />

three-bedroom apartment represents the ultimate<br />

lock-and-leave, first home or downsizer<br />

in a supremely sought-after location. Contact<br />

BIRDS OF THE ESTUARY<br />

Tanya Jenkins is the manager of the Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai<br />

Trust, a non-profit organisation formed in 20<strong>02</strong> to protect one of<br />

New Zealand’s most important coastal wetlands. Each week she<br />

introduces a new bird found in the estuary. Her column aims to raise<br />

the understanding of the values and uniqueness of the area.<br />

Drunk kereru<br />

not uncommon<br />

ONLY FOUND in NZ in<br />

native forest, urban and<br />

rural areas, the kereru<br />

with its distinctive heavy<br />

wingbeat when in flight<br />

can weigh as much as<br />

650gm.<br />

Once they find a mate<br />

they pair up for life and<br />

live like couples. We are<br />

lucky to have a few kereru<br />

pairs settled and nesting<br />

around the estuary. Nesting<br />

begins in <strong>September</strong><br />

when only one single egg<br />

is laid on a roughly constructed<br />

nest or ‘platform’<br />

made up of twigs.<br />

The female will incubate<br />

the egg from late afternoon<br />

until the next morning<br />

when the male takes over<br />

to take his shift.<br />

When the chick is old<br />

enough to be left alone,<br />

and only needing a feed<br />

once a day, the parents will<br />

start building another platform<br />

closeby to start incubating<br />

the next egg, and so<br />

on. They can do this up to<br />

four times until April.<br />

The wood pigeon is a vital<br />

component in the wellbeing<br />

of our native trees<br />

Dave Bryce<br />

of the<br />

Redcliffs/<br />

Te Rae<br />

Kura Eco<br />

Village<br />

group says<br />

it is focusing on soils<br />

during <strong>September</strong><br />

THE WORLD beneath our<br />

feet.<br />

Soils are not just<br />

something to hold up<br />

plants – they are alive with<br />

organisms, making them<br />

the “engine room” of the<br />

land environment.<br />

A single teaspoon of soil<br />

can contain billions of organisms,<br />

including insects,<br />

worms, algae, fungi and<br />

thousands of bacteria species<br />

(only about 10 per cent<br />

of which have been identified<br />

by scientists). All these<br />

organisms can be working<br />

for you – if you look after<br />

your soil.<br />

Threats to soils are:<br />

• Artificial fertilisers and<br />

pesticides, both of which<br />

can kill a wide range of<br />

organisms and should not<br />

be needed in a healthy soil<br />

• Removal of vegetation,<br />

earthworks, compaction<br />

and cultivation, all of which<br />

HEAVY: Kereru can<br />

weigh up to 650gm<br />

and it has a heavy<br />

wingbeat in flight.<br />

PHOTO: CLIVE COLLINS<br />

as it is able to eat the fruits<br />

and seeds of over 100 different<br />

native trees (with the<br />

kowhai being a favourite)<br />

and shrubs making it an<br />

important seed disperser.<br />

Kereru will also eat<br />

leaves, twigs, buds, clover<br />

and the flowers of some<br />

native trees.<br />

I just have to mention<br />

here that when it comes to<br />

eating, the kereru tend to<br />

get a little greedy by filling<br />

their crops with a large<br />

amount of overripe fruit<br />

which ferments quickly,<br />

turning it to alcohol.<br />

dry the surface; disrupt air<br />

channels, air supply and<br />

organism habitats; increase<br />

carbon loss; and reduce<br />

the soil through wind and<br />

water erosion.<br />

New Zealand has one<br />

of the highest rates of<br />

soil erosion in the world,<br />

losing about 190 million<br />

tonnes into waterways and<br />

the ocean every year (Environment<br />

Aotearoa 2015),<br />

mainly from farming and<br />

forestry activities.<br />

On the Port Hills there<br />

are extensive areas of the<br />

yellowish loess soils. If<br />

vegetation is removed, or<br />

in extreme rainfall, or if<br />

water drainage is changed,<br />

these soils and land can<br />

become unstable, resulting<br />

in property damage<br />

South Westland saw 60<br />

pigeons collected by concerned<br />

locals in 2010 delivering<br />

them to a local bird<br />

rescue centre. Fallen from<br />

trees and unable to walk or<br />

fly it was thought they had<br />

some terrible disease.<br />

All of the birds were<br />

absolutely drunk and after<br />

three days in captivity to<br />

sober up were safely returned<br />

again to the forests.<br />

A similar incident made<br />

the news in June 2019 near<br />

Whangarei where locals<br />

collected 14 intoxicated<br />

kereru over one week to<br />

be taken to a bird rescue<br />

centre for a few detox days<br />

before being released.<br />

The rescue centre receives<br />

on average 80 drunk kereru<br />

each year. Unfortunately,<br />

some are injured after<br />

falling or having flown into<br />

windows.<br />

Drunk kereru also<br />

become easy prey for cats,<br />

dogs and rats. So if you see<br />

a kereru on the ground it<br />

is bound to be both drunk<br />

and injured and take it the<br />

Animal and Bird Hospital<br />

in Ferry Rd to be treated.<br />

Best to look after your soil<br />

RICH: Soil contains<br />

billions of organisms.<br />

and damage to ecology<br />

from silt in waterways and<br />

coastal waters.<br />

Healthy soils will be<br />

damp and spongy, with a<br />

network of plant roots, a<br />

diverse cover of plants, leaf<br />

litter, compost or mulch,<br />

and many visible organisms<br />

living in it.<br />

They will produce healthy<br />

(nutrient rich) plants which<br />

obtain both water soluble<br />

minerals, as well as many<br />

other nutrients and minerals<br />

from micro-organisms,<br />

as those break down dead<br />

plant matter, feed on sugars<br />

from the plant roots and<br />

protect the plant roots from<br />

pathogens.<br />

Healthy soils also contain<br />

a lot of carbon (almost<br />

as much as mature native<br />

forests, per land area), so<br />

improving degraded soils<br />

to hold more carbon would<br />

help to reduce atmospheric<br />

CO2.<br />

Our pledge for 2<strong>02</strong>0<br />

– Always mulch soil . . .<br />

reduces weeds, temperature<br />

extremes, soil erosion<br />

and bird diggings, retains<br />

soil moisture, adds carbon<br />

to feed micro-organisms<br />

which release minerals and<br />

nutrients for plants.
