JONO KITT’S mission to get 

more people on their bikes has 

paid off. 

The Inner City East cycles 

group facilitator is known for 

going the extra mile for the 

cycling community. Because 

of this, he was nominated as a 

Page 6 

recipient at the Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community 

Service Awards. 

The grass roots organisation 

aims to get people on 

low-incomes to cycle by fixing 

up their old bikes for free, and 

giving away restored bikes. 

The group regularly meet 

for repair workshops, where

Jono Kitt has been 

nominated as one 

of the recipients 

of the Linwood- 

Central-Heathcote 

Community Service 

Awards. 

the community can learn new 

skills in this space. 

People attending the workshops 

felt part of a bigger family 

while contributing back to 

the community. 

Described as a smiling, nonjudgemental 

and kind person, 

those who nominated Kitt said 

he had a natural ability to create 

a safe and friendly environment 

that nurture people from 

all walks of life, especially the 

most vulnerable. 

Kitt is also involved with the 

Phillipstown Community Hub 

as part of their leadership team, 

and with the Phillipstown 

Neighbourhood Policing Team.

$27 million 

Naval Point 

development 

A $27 million plan to 

redevelop Lyttelton’s Naval 

Point has been given the 

go-ahead by the Banks Peninsula 

Community Board. 

The Naval Point Development 

Plan, which was developed in 

partnership with Te Hapū o 

Ngāti Wheke (Rāpaki) Rūnanga, 

includes an expanded public boat 

ramp, reorganised waterfront and 

new breakwater. 

The board also has requested 

city council staff start working 

on a leasing plan for all Naval 

Point users and recommended 

the city council approve the 

closure of the Magazine Bay 

marina, once existing licences 

expire or are terminated according 

to their licence terms and 

conditions. 

This will go to a future council 

meeting, with the date still to be 

set. 

Board chairwoman Tori 

Peden said approving the 

Naval Point plan, which is an 

overall vision for the area and 

not detailed design, is a 

significant step forward in 

improving the area for the 

many users of Naval Point 

and the wider public.

Closure of Magazine Bay marina on cards 

•From page 1 

“There has been high interest 

from the community for a 

number of years, wanting to see 

Naval Point developed to better 

suit the needs of its recreational 

users and for it to be more 

accessible to the public,” she 

said. 

“We 

recognise 

that it will 

take time 

for the plan’s 

vision to be 

fully achieved 

but approval 

Tori Peden 

of the plan 

means that 

stakeholders, 

such as Canterbury Coastguard 

and Lyttelton Rugby, can 

pursue funding opportunities 

for their projects on the 

site. 

“While the board has 

approved this concept plan 

for the site, we recognise 

there will be ongoing work 

with users and key stakeholders 

to firm up the detailed designs 

needed for future phases of 

the development work – 

especially elements such as the 

breakwater.” 

The implementation of the 

VISION: A leasing plan for all Naval Point users has been requested. PHOTO: NEWSLINE 

plan will take place in stages over 

several years as funding becomes 

available. 

Priority will be given to 

providing key marine access 

structures, such as the public 

ramp and breakwater, and 

initial site access improvements 

and each stage will require 

detailed design and 

more engagement with 

users. 

An operational plan for 

the site will be produced by 

staff in conjunction with the 

development work.

community. Today Southern View profiles who they are. 

- Jim Le Comte 

Jim Le Comte has been 

a member of Canterbury 

Neighbourhood Support since 

its inception over 20 years ago. 

He has been the co-ordinator 

of the Suffolk St group for most 

of that time. Jim has a strong 

community focus and has been 

instrumental in making his 

street a safe, caring and more 

connected place to live in. 

He has achieved this by 

welcoming new people into the 

area; checking the welfare of 

neighbours both young (with 

children) and elderly, arranging 

support if needed, providing 

the link between neighbours 

and working alongside the local 

Neighbourhood Policing Team 

to name a few. 

- Doug Pratt and Colin 

Evans 

Doug Pratt has provided 

technical support, treasurer role 

and president role for Sumner 

Theatre Group since 1997. 

Former president Colin Evans 

has also worked tirelessly both 

on and off the stage, as actor, 

stage manager and producer. 

But in the last two years, they 

both poured thousands of hours 

into getting the company into 

the new Sumner Community 

Centre.

For the last five years, John 

has spent two to three days a 

week on-site including a regular 

weekly working bee on a Friday

Tamsin has contributed a 

huge number of hours to the 

Heathcote Valley School’s 

Enviro Education projects over

school gala, she leads the food 

section, and she was also a part 

of the pool fundraising group 

and has also been a key member 

of the school’s Strategic Finance 

Group. 

- Rosie Smyth 

Rosie has been an active 

volunteer at the Christchurch 

Vegan Society since the mid 

2000s. Since then, she has sat 

on countless stalls that have 

been set up in the community 

and at special events. She has 

worked in the kitchen doing 

food prep and dishes for cookery 

demonstrations and shared 

meals. 

Rosie has also served on subcommittees 

such as the Vegan 

Expo sub-committee and the 

Vegan Ball subcommittee. She is 

a thoughtful and valued member 

of such groups and can always be 

relied on to do what she says she 

will. She always wants to help 

and she goes above and beyond 

when the need arises.

Tracing a lost grandmother 

• By Matt Slaughter 

HALF A world away in England, 

Barbara Hind is on the search 

for more information about her 

grandmother Annie Spring, who 

lived in Woolston. 

Hind is 74 and has never been 

to New Zealand but wants to 

know more about the 30 years 

Annie spent here. 

Annie moved to New Zealand 

from Maryport, Cumberland, 

England, some time between 

1921 and 1928. 

She married John Spring after 

arriving. 

The couple lived at 8 Ferry Rd 

for a period from 1928. 

Said Hind: “She obviously met 

John Spring sometime before 

1928 as the records for that year 

show them living together at 8 

Ferry Rd, Canterbury. By 1935 

they were shown as married, 

but I have not been able to find a 

record.” 

The couple lived in Weedons, 

Selwyn from about 1946 until 

John’s death in 1957. Annie 

moved back to England in 1959. 

They had previously also lived 

in Timaru and other parts of 

Canterbury. 

“The records always show 

John as a labourer, although 

in 1946 when they were living 

in Weedons he is shown as a 

farmer. 

“Annie was always shown as 

a housewife. They lived there 

[Weedons] until John’s death, 

aged 70, in 1957. I have not 

been able to find a record of any 

children.” 

After Annie died in 1961, her 

will left everything to Muriel 

Feast, the wife of Harry Feast of 

Rolleston, and James Lancaster 

of Lincoln, Selwyn. 

“I came across her will while 

doing family history research 

but I have no idea who the two 

beneficiaries were. I know nothing 

of her friends,” said Hind. 

FAMILY HISTORY: 

Annie Spring lived 

on Ferry Rd in the 

early-1900s and her 

grandaughter in 

England Barbara 

Hind wants to 

know more about 

her. 

Annie was married in the 

United Kingdom, she had children, 

one of whom was Hind’s 

mother, but the marriage broke 

down soon after World War 1. 

Hind presumes this was why she 

emigrated to New Zealand. 

Annie died at the age of 76 in 

Keswick, England.

SOUTHERN VIEW 

Game to test your bin waste knowledge 

PEOPLE ARE being invited to 

play an interactive online game 

that will test their knowledge 

of what items belong in the red, 

yellow and green wheelie bins. 

The game, which people can 

play on their smartphones and 

online has been developed by city 

council staff and is the latest tool 

in the ongoing campaign to help 

people bin good. 

The game requires players to 

drag selected items into either the 

red, green or yellow bin.If they 

put the item in the right bin, they 

earn points. If they put the item in 

the wrong bin, the bin shakes and 

they get an X on the scoreboard. 

The correct bin will light up. 

The items used in the game 

were selected because they are 

ones that people often get confused 

about and put in the wrong 

bin. 

Said council resource recovery 

manager Ross Trotter. “The 

success of our kerbside rubbish 

and recycling service depends on 

people putting the right stuff in 

the right bin. This new game is 

a fun, interactive way of teaching 

people about what bin they 

should use for different items. 

“The contents of the green 

wheelie bin get processed and 

turned into compost. That cannot 

happen if there is too much nonorganic 

material in the bin. Likewise, 

the contents of the yellow 

wheelie bin cannot be recycled if 

non-recyclable items are included. 

“Our goal is to minimise the 

amount of waste going to landfill 

so that’s why we need people to 

put the right stuff in the right bin. 

“If you are confused about what

GREAT NEW READS INSTORE 

Meghan Misunderstood 

by Sean Smith 

Meghan Misunderstood is a pioneering book that sets the 

record straight on the most talked about, unfairly vilified and 

misrepresented woman in the world. Meghan was eleven when she 

first advocated for women’s rights; a teenager when she worked in 

a soup kitchen feeding the homeless; a popular actress when she 

campaigned for clean water in Africa and passionately championed 

gender equality in a speech to a United Nations Women’s 

Conference. Even before she met Prince Harry, hers was an 

extraordinarily accomplished life. Now, Sean Smith, the UK’s leading 

celebrity biographer, pulls no punches as he reveals the remarkable 

and powerful story of this self-made, intelligent American woman 

with a strong social conscience who has made such an impact on 

our lives. 

Shoemaker 

The Untold Story of the British Family Firm that Became 

a Global Brand - reebok 

By Joe Foster 

The remarkable story of how Joe Foster developed Reebok into one of 

the world’s most famous sports brands, having started from a small 

factory in Bolton. 

Since the late 19th century, the Foster family had been hand-making 

running shoes, supplying the likes of Eric Liddell and Harold 

Abrahams - later immortalised in the film Chariots of Fire - as well 

as providing boots to most Football League clubs. But a family feud 

between Foster’s father and uncle about the direction of their business 

led to Joe and his brother Jeff setting up a new company, inspired by 

the success of Adidas and Puma, and so Reebok was born. 

No Time Like The Future 

An Optimist Considers Mortality 

By Michael J Fox 

The entire world knows Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly, the teenage 

sidekick of Doc Brown in Back to the Future; as Alex P. Keaton in 

Family Ties; as Mike Flaherty in Spin City; and through numerous other 

movie roles and guest appearances on shows such as The Good Wife 

and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Diagnosed at age 29, Michael is equally 

engaged in Parkinson’s advocacy work, raising global awareness of the 

disease and helping find a cure through The Michael J. Fox Foundation 

for Parkinson’s Research, the world’s leading non-profit funder of PD 

science. His two previous bestselling memoirs, Lucky Man and Always 

Looking Up, dealt with how he came to terms with the illness, all the 

while exhibiting his iconic optimism. His new memoir reassesses this 

outlook, as events in the past decade presented additional challenges. 

Down South 

In Search of the Great Southern Land 

by Bruce Ansley 

In Down South, writer Bruce Ansley goes on a journey back to his 

beloved South Island. 

From Curio Bay to Golden Bay, in Down South writer Bruce Ansley 

sets off on a vast expedition across the South Island, Te Waipounamu, 

visiting the places and people who hold clues to the south’s famous 

character. Not so very long ago, the South Island had most of New 

Zealand’s people and just about all of the money. Gold miners found 

fortunes in the hills and rivers, sheep barons straddled mountains, 

valleys and plains. Wealthy southerners ruled the government. Where 

now lies the South Island’s golden fleece? And what is its future. 

Speed Kings 

Australia and New Zealand’s quest to win the Indy 500, 

the world’s greatest motor race. By John Smailes 

The fascinating, definitive story of Australia and New Zealand’s quest to 

win the world’s greatest motor race. Winning the Indianapolis 500, the 

greatest spectacle in motorsport, has been a quest for Australians and 

New Zealanders since the first race in 1911. Seventeen have tried and two 

have succeeded: Scott Dixon in 2008 and Will Power in 2018. Rupert 

Jeffkins, Australia’s original speed king, entered the first Indy 500 and on 

his second attempt in 1912 came within five kilometres of victory. He and 

Italian Ralph De Palma created legend when they pushed their car to the 

finish line after it blew up while leading. Speed Kings tells Jeffkins’ full story 

for the first time. it tells the story of the Australian and New Zealand drivers, 

team owners, engineers, even commentators who’ve made the Brickyard 

their quest.

ESTUARY MATTERS 

Sea captain one of 

Woolston’s biggest fans 

The Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust is a non-profit organisation formed to 

protect one of New Zealand’s most important coastal wetlands. Each week, 

board members will discuss matters regarding the estuary, its rich history and 

what makes it unique. This week Bill Simpson writes about the man behind 

Charlesworth Wetland Reserve 

CHARLESWORTH Wetland 

Reserve on the edge of the 

estuary is a living memorial 

to one of Woolston’s biggest 

fans. 

Captain William 

Charlesworth was a sea 

captain trading between 

Australia, India and England 

but on his first voyage to 

Christchurch in the mid- 

1850s he instantly fell in love 

with the new town. 

Within days, he had 

purchased land on Ferry Rd 

near the steam wharf on the 

Heathcote River. 

He acquired other properties 

including three hotels in 

Lyttelton, pastoral land along 

the estuary edge and urban 

properties on the corner of 

Kilmore and Madras Sts. 

He named his Ferry Rd 

property Saxon Farm (his 

trading ship was the Royal 

Saxon) and built himself a 

grand house which he called 

Saxon Villa. 

Newspapers referred to him 

as a gentleman and he had 

local status as a sea captain 

but he kept a low profile in local 

affairs. His only recorded 

public position was as a member 

of the Woolston School 

Committee. 

Across the Tasman, 

Charlesworth is known as 

the man who first bought 

elephants, tigers and bears to 

Australia. 

He collected the 

animals in India and 

then sold them to 

colonists in Hobart, 

Melbourne and Sydney. One 

of his elephants, Tommy, 

toured widely within 

Australia and become quite 

famous. 

After buying land here, 

Charlesworth persuaded siblings 

to come to New Zealand 

with their families, but his 

only child, Frederick Towns 

Charlesworth, died at the age 

of 23 from diphtheria. 

Charlesworth died in 1875 

aged 60 of blood poisoning 

from an accident while chopping 

a tree down near his 

house. 

Volunteers are welcome 

to assist in maintaining 

Charlesworth Reserve, the 

team meets every Sunday at

Project to improve aircraft 

earns student award 

REWARDING: Ara 

Institute of Canterbury 

student Joshua 

Bensberg received 

the top award at the 

institute’s engineering 

showcase. He is with 

tutor Graeme Harris. 

EXPLORING methods to 

improve the performance 

of aircraft has paid off for 

Joshua Bensberg. 

The student was surprised 

to win both the 

best project – mechanical 

engineering prize and 

industry choice for his 

coaxial rotor configuration 

project at the Ara Institute 

of Canterbury engineering 

showcase. 

Bensberg will be completing 

his bachelor of 

engineering technology 

this year. His project for 

Woolston company, TEK- 

MIK, consists of rotor-craft 

blade designs to improve 

aircraft performance efficiency 

He said that the problem 

was a tough one. 

“Because there’s currently 

no definitive design 

for rotors. It’s kind of a 

matter of what you’re actually 

aiming to achieve,” 

Bensberg said. 

“If you want a certain 

diameter of the rotor 

blades, you will need to 

have certain design characteristics 

within its length to 

perform better. 

“If you prioritise one 

criteria, you might have to 

sacrifice another.” 

Using a drone model of 

the company’s “AirScooter” 

vehicle, he applied 

his knowledge of blade 

element and blade element 

momentum theory to create 

a universal design tool 

for TEKMIK. 

They can utilise this 

when considering optimal 

blade parameters for their 

vehicles, taking into account 

their planned use 

and technical specifications. 

“The aim of my client is 

to create UAVs for multiple 

applications, such as for 

surveillance, the delivery 

of light items, agricultural 

purposes and so on,” 

Bensberg said. 

“I created a design tool 

in Excel spreadsheet, so 

what my client will be able 

to now do is input their 

desired specifications - 

weight, diameter, speed, 

the engine; and the tool 

will be able to output a 

blade design. 

“Then we can compare 

all the different designs, 

to decide which would be 

best.” 

While Bensberg “had no 

clue” what the outcome of 

his study would be when 

he first arrived at Ara, he 

now hoped to continue 

working with TEKMIK. 

“That would make me 

happy. I’ll be delivering my 

findings to them, and I’ll 

definitely be answering a 

lot of questions for everyone 

so that they can understand 

it and, you never 

SOUTHERN VIEW 

know – I could be hired by 

them,” he said. 

In the years to come, 

Bensberg sees his interests 

remaining in design. 

“I’m particularly interested 

in the design process; 

designing components and 

designing machines. The 

overall idea of ‘what can be 

made?’ lets the imagination 

flow.” 

Ara senior lecturer and 

project supervisor Graeme 

Harris said Bensberg’s 

project displayed a high 

level of numerical analysis, 

modelling and practical 

testing to verify data. 

“Josh hit the ground 

running, came up with 

his own ideas and ran a 

good project. Josh worked 

well with the industry 

client and showed a 

good understanding of 

an unfamiliar area of 

engineering,” he said. 

Christmas gifts that will be 

met by complete silence. 

For days, and days, 

if you’re lucky. 

As we head into the Christmas season, you 

might be starting to think about gift ideas.

Start a new 

Christmas tradition 

What could be better than starting some new family traditions this year? Christmas traditions are memories 

in the making and help spread a little festive cheer whether with your loved ones or out in the community. 

10 great ideas to help make Christmas a magical time of the year 

1. Create a Christmas playlist with some of 

your favourite carols and songs – play it 

loud and every day, if that’s your thing. 

Or plan a pre-Christmas sing-along 

evening – don’t forget to supply the song 

sheet so everyone can join in too. 

2. Get into the spirit of Christmas by getting 

together with family or friends to help 

decorate each other’s houses – turn up 

the music, drink the wine and go all out 

to deck the halls. 

3. Make and send homemade Christmas 

cards – there’s nothing more exciting 

than getting mail, right? Or how about 

writing some generic ones and dropping 

them into your nearest retirement 

home to brighten up an elderly person’s 

Christmas. 

4. Buy your family Christmas tee-shirts or 

Santa hats to wear on the day and don’t 

forget to take a family selfie. 

5. Fill a shoebox with gifts for a child, wrap 

it with a bow, and deliver to the nearest 

community gift tree – check with your 

local library and label with age and 

gender. 

6. Have a yearly family, friends or neighbour 

outdoor games night with drinks and 

nibbles leading up to the big day – think 

Pétanque, hoopla, mini golf, giant chess, 

or croquet. 

7. Take a leaf out of Iceland’s traditional 

‘Jolabokaflod’ or Christmas Book Flood, 

and give a book as a gift on Christmas 

Eve each year – don’t forget to write 

inside the cover who it’s from and the 

date. 

8. Make a list of must see Christmas movies 

to watch a week before Christmas day 

and tick off the ones you’ve watched. 

Don’t forget the popcorn and hot 

chocolate or nibbles and wine. 

9. Make and give a handmade ornament 

as a gift each year – the lucky receiver’s 

Christmas tree will be covered with 

beautiful, handmade memories. 

10. Make homemade hot chocolate on 

Christmas Eve or on Christmas morning 

to drink while the presents are being 

opened – decorate with whipped cream, 

grated chocolate, marshmallows, or 

crushed candy canes. 

Give a Christmas 

gift to remember! 

With summer on the way there’s 

never been a better excuse to take 

a break and head to Hanmer Springs. 

Just 90 minutes north of Christchurch, 

Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools and Spa 

offers something for everyone - whether 

it’s that hard-to-buy-for friend or a well 

deserved treat for yourself.

occasion. Relax and unwind in our 

22 open-air thermal pools, enjoy the 

adrenalin of Conical Thrill, New Zealand’s

The countdown to the big day is well underway, so making up the 

Christmas gift list will now be a top priority… if you haven’t already done so. 

Finding those special gifts and stocking fillers as 

well as the Christmas treats for the table is so easy at 

our city’s malls and shopping centres, where the shops 

are bursting with festive merchandise. 

Every woman likes to receive body pampering 

gifts, and there is a huge selection of these priced 

to suit all budgets at the many pharmacies and gift 

shops around the city. Perfume is another favourite 

and again there is a wide selection to choose from, 

ranging from exciting new releases to the well-known 

fragrances that have stood the test of time. Lingerie, 

jewellery, fashion accessories, homewares and decor 

items – there’s no end to the ideas for the women on 

the list. 

The men are equally well catered for, from the 

sophisticated metro-male boyfriends, to the car-crazy 

brothers and the DIY enthusiast and keen gardener 

husbands and dads. Choose from clothing, books, 

tools, personal grooming items and gadgets to put a 

smile on their face on Christmas morning. 

Speaking of smiles, nothing gives families more joy 

than seeing the excitement of the children opening 

their presents. Whether they are delivered by Santa 

or snuck under the tree by mum and dad, the cuddly 

toys, games, dolls and building blocks, the candy 

canes, toy trucks and pretty dresses currently filling 

the shops will bring squeals of sheer happiness from 

the smallest family members. 

The tweens and teens usually have their own ideas 

about what they want for Christmas, so the gift cards 

offered by a wide range of retailers are the perfect way 

to please.
