Plan to<br />
increase<br />
train<br />
speed to<br />
50km/h<br />
• By Samantha Mythen<br />
HEATHCOTE residents will get<br />
the chance to have their say on<br />
a plan to increase the speed of<br />
trains through the valley.<br />
KiwiRail is proposing to increase<br />
train speed limits to 50km/h, an<br />
action they say, which should reduce<br />
the amount of noise and wear<br />
and tear on the locomotives.<br />
KiwiRail representatives are<br />
meeting with community members<br />
at 12.30pm on Monday at the<br />
Heathcote Community Centre to<br />
discuss the proposal.<br />
Heathcote Valley Community<br />
Association chairman Lewis Low<br />
said he is open-minded with the<br />
new proposal.<br />
“It could be good to have a trial<br />
of the new speed and then see<br />
how it goes.”<br />
Said KiwiRail general manager<br />
of South Island operations, Mark<br />
Heissenbuttel: “This increase<br />
in speed limit should reduce<br />
the amount of noise from the<br />
locomotives as they will no longer<br />
need to increase power as they<br />
approach the tunnel.”<br />

Chaplain among first to get vaccine<br />
NEWS 3<br />
In Brief<br />
• By Samantha Mythen<br />
REVEREND JOHN McLister<br />
has become one of the first<br />
frontline border workers in<br />
Lyttelton to get a Covid-19 jab.<br />
McLister, who is the the<br />
Lyttelton Seafarers’ Centre<br />
chaplain, provides pastoral care<br />
to sailors on boats docked in<br />
Lyttelton.<br />
“It was no worse than a flu<br />
jab,” he said.<br />
McLister was one of many port<br />
workers who received the Pfizer<br />
vaccine on Friday. More than<br />
160 frontline workers at Lyttelton<br />
Port Company also received<br />
their first dose of the vaccine.<br />
These workers included cargo<br />
handlers, marine pilots, security<br />
and any LPC staff who board a<br />
vessel.<br />
The vaccine is being rolled out<br />
for frontline workers throughout<br />
New Zealand.<br />
McLister said, as a seafarers<br />
chaplain, he is one of the people<br />
having most contact with sailors.<br />
“From my perspective, it is<br />
not just about protecting the onshore<br />
community but I decided<br />
to take the vaccine to ensure that<br />
the seafarers also feel safe and<br />
comfortable about me coming<br />
on board,” he said.<br />
Many sailors are also worried<br />
about McLister bringing<br />

Covid-19 onto their ships.<br />
“I want to be able to assure the<br />
seafarers when I visit, that I’m<br />
taking all measures to keep them<br />
safe.”<br />
McLister quickly took up the<br />
offer for the vaccine in order to<br />
protect the sailors he helps.<br />
Alongside wearing personal<br />
protection equipment and<br />
following social distancing<br />
guidelines, getting the vaccine<br />
is another step of protecting the<br />
seafarers, McLister said.<br />
After the Government announced<br />
sailors were only able<br />
to come onshore if they had been<br />
at sea for 14 days and returned a<br />
negative Covid-19 test last year,<br />
the seafarer’s centre began working<br />
to deliver its welfare services<br />
on board.<br />
It provides personal shopping<br />
services, bring Wi-Fi units<br />
onboard, and provide emotional,<br />
social and spiritual care for sailors<br />
in the port.<br />
Since <strong>March</strong> last year, it has<br />
bought more than $125,000 of<br />
personal shopping for sailors<br />
unable to disembark.<br />
The Lyttelton Seafarers’ Centre<br />
was the first to employ this<br />
onboard pastoral care model,<br />
which has since been picked<br />
up by other ports around the<br />
country.<br />
McLister said: “Seafarers<br />
are being demonised and they<br />
shouldn’t be.<br />
“I personally feel safe and have<br />
more contacts with seafarers<br />
than with anyone else in New<br />
Zealand.”<br />
McLister is tested for Covid-19<br />
on a fortnightly basis and has<br />
had more than 12 tests so far –<br />
all have come back negative.<br />
LPC general manager of people<br />
and safety, Kirstie Gardener<br />
said: “The vaccine provides<br />
another layer of protection for<br />
our border workers, who still use<br />
PPE, social distance, undertake<br />
increased hygiene measures and<br />
complete regular testing.”<br />
McLister and the other port<br />
workers will receive a second<br />
dose of the vaccine in three<br />
weeks.<br />
MAINTENANCE WORK<br />
FOR SKATE RAMP<br />
The Sumner skate ramp is closed<br />
for the next two weeks as it<br />
undergoes re-skinning, repair<br />
and maintenance work to ensure<br />
continued safe use. A permanent<br />
skate park is set to be built in<br />
2022, and this temporary but<br />
well-loved structure has been<br />
in use for six years. The repair<br />
work was able to go ahead after<br />
the Sumner Green and Skate<br />
Group received funding from<br />
the Waikura/Linwood-Central-<br />
Heathcote Community Board<br />
and from the group’s own<br />
fundraising efforts. A Givealittle<br />
page is still open for donations<br />
to help with continuing<br />
maintenance.<br />
PEA STRAW SALE<br />
The Ferrymead Lions annual<br />
pea straw sale will be held<br />

INSTORE!<br />
Grief on the Run<br />
by Julie Zarifeh<br />
What happens when your life is rocked by unimaginable loss and grief? How do you<br />
survive and how do you keep going?<br />
Julie Zarifeh shares the tragic story of losing her 27-year-old son, Sam, in a whitewater<br />
rafting accident just sixteen days after her 60-year-old husband, Paul, died of pancreatic<br />
cancer.<br />
She describes how she and her surviving son and daughter dealt with this double<br />
whammy and how she embraced the notion of ‘active grieving’. This included a<br />
450-kilometre cycle tour around Sri Lanka, raising money to give disadvantaged Kiwi<br />
children new bikes; trekking the 800-kilometre Camino de Santiago; and running the<br />
New York marathon on behalf of the Mental Health Foundation.<br />
Julie’s account of learning to live with grief, plus her experience as a clinical psychologist,<br />
make this an inspirational and ultimately uplifting read.<br />
Joe Biden - Promises to Keep<br />
‘A ripping good read … Biden is a master storyteller and has stories worth telling.’<br />
President Joe Biden tells the story of his extraordinary life and career prior to his<br />
emergence as Barack Obama’s beloved, influential vice president.<br />
Joe Biden has both witnessed and participated in a momentous epoch of American<br />
history. In Promises to Keep, he reveals what these experiences taught him about<br />
himself, his colleagues, and the institutions of government.<br />
With his customary honesty and wit, Biden movingly and eloquently recounts growing<br />
up in a staunchly Catholic multigenerational household in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and<br />
Wilmington, Delaware; overcoming personal tragedy, life-threatening illness, and career<br />
setbacks; his relationships with presidents, world leaders, and lawmakers on both sides<br />
of the aisle; and his leadership of powerful Senate committees.<br />
Farm for Life<br />
Mahi, mana and life on the land<br />
by Tangaroa Walker<br />
The awesomely inspiring true story of how Tangaroa Walker turned his life around through<br />
farming - and how what he learned can help anyone succeed.<br />
Tangaroa Walker’s early years were pretty rough. Adopted twice, he went to six different<br />
schools by the time he was six. He never read a book in his life and lived to play rugby.<br />
But he had a dream, and he knew how to do the mahi.<br />
Today, T is a true community and industry leader running a successful 500-cow dairy<br />
farm and reaching millions as the much-loved face of Farm4Life with his practical,<br />
inspiring, crack-up videos on everything from farming to fishing, finance to whanau,<br />
management to mental health.<br />
This is the story of how he did it - the good and the bad times - and all the lessons<br />
learned along the way.<br />

New Zealand’s Underworld of Organised Crime<br />
By Jared Savage<br />
New Zealand is now one of the most lucrative illicit drug markets in the world. Organised<br />
crime is about making money. It’s a business. Award-winning investigative reporter<br />
Jared Savage shines a light into New Zealand’s rising underworld of organised crime<br />
and violent gangs.<br />
Mauri Ora<br />
by Peter Alsop and Te raumawhitu Kupenga<br />
Pearls of wisdom contained in proverbs - whakatauk I - have been gifted from generation<br />
to generation as an intrinsic part of the Maori world. As powerful metaphors, they combine<br />
analogy and cultural history in the most economical of words. Short and insightful,<br />
they surprise, engendering reflection, learning and personal growth. Mauri Ora links<br />
whakatauk I to key personal virtues idealised across cultures and generations. The<br />
virtues - wisdom, courage, compassion, integrity, self-mastery and belief - stem from the<br />
science of positive psychology; the study of how to live a better life. Illustrated throughout<br />
with wonderful photographs from an old world, this book draws on traditional wisdom to<br />
provide a recipe for personal effectiveness and leadership, and a rewarding connection<br />
of Maori knowledge to contemporary thinking about personal happiness and fulfilment.<br />

• By Samantha Mythen<br />
MYSTERY surrounds why<br />
hundreds of thousands of honey<br />
bees have been dying in Lyttelton.<br />
Seven Lyttelton beekeepers met<br />
last week to investigate what was<br />
happening to the bees that have<br />
perished in huge numbers<br />
for the past three years in<br />
February.<br />
Local beekeepers Paul<br />
Maguire and Hannah<br />
Ewing joined forces creating<br />
the group for other<br />
beekeepers to discuss their<br />
concerns.<br />
Maguire said the hives<br />
seem to be affected at the<br />
same time with a massive die out.<br />
But the bee numbers then bounce<br />
back.<br />
“We want to find out what is happening<br />
so we can stop it happening<br />
again next year,” he said.<br />
Maguire said it was likely<br />
almost half a million bees died in<br />
Lyttelton.<br />
The beekeepers have several<br />
theories about what is killing the<br />
bees but have not yet found any<br />
conclusive evidence.<br />
A local resident or the city council<br />
could be spraying for weeds or<br />
baiting for wasps using substances<br />
toxic to bees. It could be an accumulative<br />
or one-off type event. Or<br />
something else could be happening.<br />
The group has decided to<br />
investigate the costs involved to<br />
send some of the dead bees and<br />
collected pollen to a laboratory<br />
to hopefully come to some<br />
conclusions.<br />
However, lab sampling can<br />
cost thousands of dollars, so the<br />
‘Lyttelton Beeks’ group, now made<br />
up of 19 beekeepers, is considering<br />
starting a community fundraiser in<br />
the future.<br />
Maguire, who owns 30 hives,<br />
including four in Lyttelton, said<br />
they think the issue is specific to<br />
the port town.<br />
He explained the problem<br />
was not seen in Cass <strong>Bay</strong> nor<br />
Governors <strong>Bay</strong>, although they<br />
had talked with a beekeeper<br />
in Moncks Spur. They had<br />
seen their bees die-off at the<br />
same time for the past five<br />
years.<br />
Maguire said: “Bees are like<br />
canaries in a coal mine. We<br />
need to realise if bees are dying,<br />
other things will be dying too.”<br />
The group is hoping to raise further<br />
awareness about taking care<br />
of bees.<br />
“There are weed and insect sprays<br />
out there that appear to be okay,<br />
but they contain surfactants which<br />
suffocate bees.<br />
“Some chemicals are okay for<br />
bees individually but when you mix<br />
them together they become toxic to<br />
bees,” he said.<br />
He also explained it is important<br />
to be aware of the times of the day<br />
for spraying.<br />
For example, if you are spraying<br />
roses for aphids, spray in the<br />
evening once bees have retired.<br />
The group wondered about the<br />
potential of an environmental science<br />
student focusing their thesis<br />
on this mysterious issue.<br />
“It will be a detective job to figure<br />
out what is going wrong,” Maguire<br />
said.<br />

The current limit of<br />

“The current limit means<br />
more wear and tear on the locomotives’<br />

From keeping the peace in Bosnia to<br />
• By Samantha Mythen<br />
FIFTEEN YEARS ago, Lyttelton<br />
police Sergeant Gerard Peoples<br />
was roaming the streets of Banja<br />
Luka, watching life continue in<br />
the absence of war.<br />
In Bosnia and Herzegovina’s<br />
second largest city, the public<br />
were no longer running down<br />
its streets cowering in fear from<br />
sniper attacks, but peace still<br />
remained a distant dream in a<br />
country still very much divided.<br />
Peoples was serving under the<br />
European Union force as second-in-command<br />
of an observation<br />
and liaison team, helping<br />
with the government transition<br />
and holding authorities to<br />
account, including locating persons<br />
indited for war crimes.<br />
During the civil war that<br />
followed Bosnia’s secession from<br />
Yugoslavia in 1992, Banja Luka<br />
was the main stronghold for<br />
Bosnian Serbs in the country’s<br />
north. Persecution and violence<br />
drove thousands of Bosniaks<br />
(Bosnian Muslims), Croats,<br />
Roma and others out of the city.<br />
Two immense mosques, built<br />
in the city during the Ottoman<br />
period – the Ferhadija and the<br />
Arnaudija – were also destroyed<br />
in the three-year conflict, which<br />
devastated the country and took<br />
over <strong>10</strong>0,000 lives.<br />
Today Banja Luka, still Serb<br />
dominated, is the capital of a<br />
state within a state, known as<br />
Republika Srpska. This is one<br />
of two entities that make up the<br />
country.<br />
When Peoples was in Banja<br />
Luka, there were six observer<br />
teams spread throughout the local<br />
province, including one team<br />
from New Zealand.<br />
Peoples said tensions were still<br />
quite high in the area and there<br />
were numerous incidents of<br />
violence, especially as they were<br />
working in a Serbian dominated<br />
area. During his time there,<br />
more mass grave sites were<br />
unearthed and weapon deposits<br />
uncovered.<br />
Most of his work was spent,<br />
“out and about, feeling the pulse<br />
of the community.”<br />
Said Peoples: “This was to<br />
understand levels of tension so<br />
we could then report back to<br />
the task force headquarters if we<br />
required an infantry battle group<br />
to intervene.”<br />
“We were the finders and<br />
gatherers of community information.”<br />
After <strong>10</strong> years of peacekeepers<br />
being present in the country,<br />
the population were quite ambivalent<br />
to the visitors, yet the<br />
watchful eye of the international<br />
force stopped any tension from<br />
escalating.<br />
Peoples was fascinated by the<br />
country’s history and diverse<br />
culture, it being the crossroads<br />
of the east and west with strong<br />
Muslim influences.<br />
Upon visiting Sarajevo, he<br />
reflected on how much had<br />
changed since it had hosted the<br />
Winter Olympics in 1984.<br />
“It hosted an international<br />
event and then just <strong>10</strong> years later,<br />
the city was under siege and<br />
thousands of people were killed,”<br />
he said.<br />
Sarajevo is the capital and<br />
largest city in the country. During<br />
the civil war, it’s population<br />
faced daily bombing and sniper<br />
attacks from Serb nationalist<br />
forces for over three years. Over<br />
13,000 people were killed during<br />
the siege. Bullet holes still riddle<br />
many of the buildings, an echo<br />
from the past making sure the<br />
war is not forgotten.<br />
For his time observing in Bosnia<br />
and Herzegovina, Peoples<br />
was awarded the Task Group<br />
Commander’s Commendation<br />
for exceptional performance in<br />
stepping up to this role.<br />
People’s next placement was in<br />
Timor Leste in 2007-2008, where<br />
he was deployed as second in<br />
command of 120 New Zealand<br />
soldiers of the Infantry Rifle<br />
Company.<br />
Stationed in the capital of Dili,<br />
they were responsible for the<br />
security and stability of the area.<br />
The previous year had seen the<br />
unravelling of Timor Leste’s new<br />
journey to statehood. A military<br />
dispute resulted in mass protests,<br />
violence and about 200 lives lost.<br />
After an assassination attempt<br />
of then President Jose<br />
Ramos-Horta by rebel East<br />
Timorese troops, which seriously<br />
wounded him, Peoples and<br />
his company worked to secure<br />
the area and assist with initial<br />
inquiries into the shooting.<br />
New Zealand troops had<br />
already been present in the<br />
country for the past two years,<br />
and Peoples joined the fourth<br />
rotation.<br />
“The population just wanted<br />
stability and they had a very<br />
positive relationship with the<br />
New Zealand forces. We spent a<br />
lot of time playing football with<br />
the local kids,” Peoples said.<br />
His most recent overseas<br />
mission was as a United National<br />
Military Observer under its<br />
Truce Supervisory Organisation<br />
for 12 months in 2015 at Golan<br />
Heights.<br />
WAR TORN: Peoples peace-keeping in Bosnia and<br />
Herzegovina.<br />
Peoples said it was a great<br />
working environment. There<br />
were several observation<br />
posts spread out along the<br />
demilitarised zone separating<br />
Syria and Israel and as a captain<br />
in the army, he worked as an<br />
observation post leader of about<br />
13 other staff.<br />
Peoples’ role was to observe<br />
compliance of the agreement of<br />
disengagement and separation<br />
between Israel and Syria, an<br />
agreement in place since 1974,<br />
which had ended the Yom Kippur<br />
War.<br />
In the two years prior to Peoples<br />
being stationed there, several<br />
observers, including a New<br />
Zealander, had been taken hostage<br />
by extremist Islamic groups,<br />
so security was tight. The New<br />
Zealander was taken hostage in<br />
May 2013, and was returned five<br />
hours later unharmed. In 2014,<br />
a large group from Fiji and the<br />
Philippines were kidnapped.<br />
Peoples worked at the observation<br />
post on weeks rotations and<br />
he was also able to stay with his<br />
wife and young family who spent<br />
the year in Tiberias, Israel, supported<br />
by the United Nations.<br />
At the time it was a difficult<br />
situation as the Syrian civil<br />
war was in full strife. Peoples<br />
said most of the conflict they<br />
observed was between Syrians,<br />
including air strikes and machine<br />
gun battles which ravaged<br />
the country. The war has since<br />
displaced 5.6 million people<br />
from Syria, including 2.5 million<br />
children.<br />
“There was lots of activity in<br />
the area but we were observing<br />
from a distance,” said Peoples.<br />
Peoples received a letter of<br />
appreciation from the General<br />
Commander of UNTSO for<br />
exceptional service for his time<br />
at Golan Heights.<br />

while working overseas in these<br />
diverse and often strained communities,<br />
was recognising the<br />
clear similarities that bonded all<br />
as humans.<br />
“Having worked in diverse<br />
places with both locals and international<br />
staff, I saw that people,<br />
as individuals, are all the same,<br />
sharing the same aspirations<br />
for themselves, their family and<br />
their community,” he said.<br />
A key lesson he learned overseas,<br />
which he applies in New<br />
Zealand, is how important it is<br />
to take a neutral stance.<br />
Comparing feuding ethnicities<br />
with conflicting neighbours,<br />
Peoples explained, so long<br />
as either side thinks you are<br />
supporting the other, you are<br />
neutral and each side recognises<br />
they need to change their ways.<br />
On New Zealand shores but<br />
prior to taking up his role in<br />
Lyttelton, Peoples had spent<br />
18 months working as a police<br />
prosecutor.<br />
Now, 15 years later from<br />
his first overseas mission,<br />
Peoples is strolling the streets<br />
of Lyttelton, set to investigate<br />
community concerns and work<br />
on preventative action plans for<br />
these issues.<br />
Some of these concerns include<br />
boy racers, theft, and compliance<br />
with new speed limits.<br />
Boy racers are a notorious<br />
issue in the Banks Peninsula.<br />
Peoples recently took part<br />
in an operation looking for<br />
boy racers around Rapaki and<br />
Governors <strong>Bay</strong>. The mission was<br />
successful and several drivers<br />
were caught travelling over the<br />
speed limit by up to 30km/h.<br />
They were issued infringement<br />
offence notices.<br />
One driver caught was found<br />
to be breaching his bail conditions<br />
of not driving and the<br />
court has been informed.

battling peninsula’s boy racers<br />
Peoples’ intention is to re-roster<br />
his station staff with more late<br />
night shifts to continue the boy<br />
racer operation.<br />
He explained it is important to<br />
remember boy racers are not just<br />
a local issue but a societal one.<br />
“Boy racers are a community of<br />
their own, driven by many social<br />
factors,” Peoples said.<br />
“If we want to solve this issue,<br />
we need to address it as a whole<br />
community, policing is just an<br />
aspect.”<br />
Police are further working with<br />
the city council to discuss a long<br />
term plan for boy racers.<br />
Action has already been taken,<br />
including barrier fences installed<br />
along Gebbies Pass to stop park<br />
ups.<br />
Theft is another issue presented<br />
by the community which Peoples<br />
is hoping to address.<br />
Lyttelton and Sumner are<br />
seeing a continued amount of<br />
cars being stolen and broken into.<br />
Tradies cars have been especially<br />
targeted.<br />
Peoples said with more night<br />
shifts, they will be able to see who<br />
is out and about in the middle of<br />
the night.<br />
He recommended the<br />
community be mindful and have<br />
extra security. If things do get<br />
stolen, he said, it is important to<br />
provide as much information and<br />
detail as possible to the police.<br />
This means there is a better<br />
chance of the items being<br />
found.<br />
At the beginning of February, a<br />
Lyttelton man was arrested with<br />
dishonesty offences and has been<br />
remanded in custody.<br />
“This success story should have<br />
an effect on crime in Lyttelton,”<br />
Peoples said.<br />
In terms of enforcing new<br />
speed limits, Peoples explained<br />
locals need to be mindful of the<br />
new limits.<br />
“They have been changed to be<br />
more appropriate for road conditions,”<br />
he said.<br />
Of particular importance to<br />
Peoples is working with the community’s<br />
young people.<br />
Peoples has spent time working<br />
with the Limited Service Volunteer<br />
programme, a free six-week<br />
motivational training course run<br />
by the NZDF in conjunction with<br />
Work and Income.<br />
Aimed at those aged between<br />
18-24, the course builds self-esteem<br />
with a view to provide a<br />
platform for those involved to<br />

Heights.<br />
proceed to further education or<br />
employment.<br />
This course is something he<br />
would like to promote among<br />
Banks Peninsula youth.<br />
Peoples is stationed in Lyttelton<br />
on a six month rotation, covering<br />
for the previous sergeant while<br />
he is away on leave. He is hoping<br />
to stay in the Port for longer<br />
though.<br />
Peoples was born in<br />
Christchurch, lived in Westport<br />
until he was <strong>10</strong> and then he came<br />
back to the garden city.<br />
After finishing a Bachelor<br />
of Commerce in 1996, Peoples<br />
signed up for officer cadet school<br />
with the NZ Defence Force.<br />
“I saw it as an opportunity to<br />
be involved in something exciting<br />
and different,” he said.<br />
The 12 months of rigorous<br />
mental and physical training was<br />
a challenge. Of the 50 people who<br />
signed up, only 14 graduated.<br />
At the end of 1997, Peoples<br />
went to police college. It was<br />
always his intention to join the<br />
police. His father, Pat Peoples,<br />
was also an officer.<br />
He never officially left the army<br />
however, transferring to the<br />
territorials.<br />
Since then, he said, he’s been<br />
wearing these “double hats.”<br />
The Lyttelton-based police also<br />
serve the communities of Redcliffs,<br />
Sumner and the harbour<br />
bays.<br />
Currently, the team includes<br />
Peoples, and Senior Constables<br />
Gary Prescott and Heijo Bouma.<br />
Two more constables will join the<br />
station later on in the year.<br />
“There are not many staff for<br />
such a big area, however, the staff<br />
we have are very dedicated to<br />
these communities,” said Peoples.<br />
He has thoroughly enjoyed his<br />
first few months here.<br />
“It’s great to walk down the<br />
street, to chat to people and get<br />
friendly waves. It’s refreshing.”<br />

Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> wharf design approved<br />
• By Samantha Mythen<br />
DIAMOND <strong>Harbour</strong> residents<br />
are happy with a shorter gangway<br />
plan for the area’s wharf.<br />
City council staff have decided<br />
to continue with the original plan<br />
of a shorter gangway after they<br />
received approval from the Banks<br />
Peninsula Community Board<br />
meeting at the beginning of this<br />
month.<br />
Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
Community Association<br />
chairman Nathan Graham<br />
said: “We are happy this project<br />
is moving<br />
forward.”<br />
Board<br />
chairwoman<br />
Tori Peden<br />
said they had<br />
approved<br />
this plan as<br />
the longer<br />
Tori Peden<br />
gangway<br />
would create<br />
more engineering difficulties.<br />
“We are ensuring the wharf will<br />
be made as accessible as it can be<br />
without having to engineer a solution<br />
to every problem,” she said.<br />
The longer gangway would also<br />
have limited other boat access to<br />
the wharf, something Peden said<br />
they wanted to avoid.<br />
Peden said the only issue with<br />
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
the shorter gangway was that it<br />
had a steeper pitch.<br />
“This is only an issue for low<br />
tides however, not during normal<br />
conditions.”<br />
Peden believes when the necessary<br />
arises, the community and<br />
other wharf users will be able to<br />
assist those who may struggle<br />
with the steeper access.<br />

Graham said: “This is a<br />
solution that balances the<br />
issues. We can only have a<br />
floating platform up to a certain<br />
length due to the harbour<br />
conditions.”<br />
An update on the wharf will be<br />
provided to Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
residents at their community<br />
association’s annual meeting on<br />
<strong>March</strong> 29.<br />
Peden said the next step for<br />
the wharf development is the<br />
final council sign-off and then<br />
construction will hopefully<br />
begin.<br />
Roll increases at Our Lady Star of the Sea School<br />
• By Samantha Mythen<br />
OUR LADY Star of the Sea<br />
School in Sumner is seeing a<br />
steady growth in enrolments.<br />
When principal Nathan Burford<br />
started in October last year,<br />
there were 45 students enrolled.<br />
Now they have 54 students and<br />
are set to reach 60 by the end of<br />
term 1.<br />
Burford said the school is<br />
attracting families from Lyttelton<br />
as one of the reasons behind the<br />
roll’s boom.<br />
The Catholic school in Lyttelton<br />
closed several years ago, and<br />
with Evans Pass open again, it is a<br />
quick <strong>10</strong>min drive to Sumner.<br />
“Catholic families from Lyttelton<br />
are seeing our school as a<br />
viable option,” said Burford.<br />
The school’s education is based<br />
on Catholic values and as a small<br />
community school, they only have<br />
about 20 students in each class.<br />
Said Burford: “We are like a<br />
country school by the sea.”<br />
He explained the significant<br />
connection they have with the<br />
“Aupaki cluster;” the other<br />
schools in the area including Mt<br />
Pleasant, Sumner and Redcliffs.<br />
The schools come together for<br />
sporting events such as triathalon<br />
and cross-country.<br />
Burford said there had been<br />
the previous decline in the roll<br />
for various reasons including<br />
the impact of the earthquakes<br />
on the Sumner community and<br />
changing leaderships and staff.<br />

Celebrating women from<br />
different walks of life<br />
• From page 1<br />
Another series featured is a<br />
celebration of women in music.<br />
The paintings include portraits<br />
of Benee, Elizabeth Stokes from<br />
The Beths, and Dame Kiri Te<br />
Kanawa.<br />
The final series is called<br />
‘Roles That Struck,’ featuring<br />
portraits of female movie and<br />
television characters who<br />
have inspired Hébert for their<br />
strong-will, intelligence, wit,<br />
bravery and passion.<br />
Hébert said: “This series<br />
is meant to highlight the<br />
importance of representation in<br />
entertainment.<br />
“The characters I’ve painted<br />
are not just successful but are<br />
silly and kind too, showing<br />
the diverse and complicated<br />
full range of a woman’s personality.”<br />
She hopes her paintings will<br />
start conversation around the<br />
rocky road women often face<br />
in life.<br />
Hébert is also encouraging<br />
the public to bring their<br />
children to the exhibition to<br />
show how young girls can grow<br />
up to achieve amazing things.<br />
Each of her series celebrates<br />
women through a different<br />
style of painting, something<br />
which challenged Hébert’s<br />
practice.<br />
The paintings are for sale and<br />
range in price between $500-<br />
$700.<br />
Portraiture is Hébert’s<br />
favourite focus for her<br />
paintings which she creates<br />
primarily with acrylics. Her<br />
style is impressionism with a<br />
hint of realism she captures in<br />
her subject’s expression.<br />
Hébert works full time as a<br />
geologist and is mother to two<br />
children. She is originally from<br />
the south of Montreal, Canada,<br />
but has called Redcliffs home<br />
for <strong>10</strong> years.<br />
She has been creating art for<br />
as long as she can remember,<br />
motivated by the satisfaction of<br />
completing a painting.<br />
“Painting fills my bucket, it<br />
makes me feel happy.”<br />
The exhibition is open for<br />
public viewing at The Rock<br />
until the end of April.<br />

Call for temporary paua fishing ban<br />
MANA WHENUA and local<br />
stakeholders are calling upon the<br />
Minister of Fisheries to approve<br />
an open-ended, but temporary,<br />
prohibition on recreational and<br />
commercial fishing of pāua from<br />
reefs adjacent to Ōnuku Marae in<br />
Akaroa.<br />
The Akaroa Taiāpure management<br />
committee is recommending<br />
closure to prohibit the taking<br />
of pāua from the Ōnuku area<br />
by recreational and commercial<br />
fishers.<br />
Said Ōnuku Rūnanga chairman<br />
Rik Tainui: “The pāua and<br />
other kaimoana on the reefs<br />
next to Ōnuku Marae were once<br />
abundant and were a significant<br />
resource for people who were<br />
fishing for a feed and to sustain<br />
the functions of the marae.<br />
“We know from local knowledge<br />
that the fish stocks are<br />
nowhere near as plentiful and<br />
accessible as they once were.”<br />
The committee is made up<br />
of representatives from Ōnuku<br />
Rūnanga, Wairewa Rūnanga, and<br />
Te Rūnanga o Koukourarata, as<br />
well as recreational and commercial<br />
fishers, marine farmers, and<br />
tourism operators.<br />
STOCKS:<br />
Prohibiting the<br />
taking of paua<br />
near Onuku<br />
Marae (above)<br />
has been<br />
recommended.<br />
“We regularly see families<br />
coming to these reefs in front<br />
of the marae and taking large<br />
quantities of pāua. It’s clear this is<br />
not sustainable in the long-run,”<br />
Tainui said.<br />
The closure will allow this<br />
depleted population to replenish.<br />
The committee will work with<br />
research providers to monitor the<br />
recovery.<br />
“It’s critical our hapū have<br />
kaimoana to sustain the many<br />
cultural functions of the marae,<br />
as well as supply hapū members<br />
with a food source.<br />
“We are suggesting this measure<br />
for the good of the whole<br />
community. We need to ensure<br />
the Akaroa fishery’s formerly<br />
abundant levels are restored so<br />
people can once again come and<br />
catch a kai, otherwise we’re all<br />
going to lose out.”<br />
Tainui said the committee has<br />
not suggested an end date for the<br />
closure at this time.<br />
“Pāua have a slow recovery<br />
rate, so we are requesting that the<br />
proposed closure be open-ended<br />
and only lifted once we know<br />
a sufficient recovery has been<br />
achieved.<br />
The closure will protect juvenile<br />
pāua that are critical to the longterm<br />
sustainability of the fishery<br />
on the reefs.”<br />

Akaroa<br />
classes to<br />
help you<br />
learn te reo<br />
A COMMUNITY group in<br />
Akaroa is engaging residents in<br />
the language of te reo Māori.<br />
Akaroa Resource Collective<br />
Trust co-ordinator Kerry Little<br />
said the class came about after a<br />
powhiri to welcome new Akaroa<br />
Area School new principal Ross<br />
Dunn and his family,<br />
“Te reo is beginning to be spoken<br />
on a day-to-day basis and yet<br />
we saw at the powhiri many people<br />
did not entirely understand<br />
what it meant,” she said.<br />
“We want to help encourage a<br />
greater understanding and use of<br />
the language.”<br />
The first weekly class was on<br />
February 24 and more than 20<br />
people attended.<br />
“We were really surprised by<br />
the initial response. With our<br />
small population, we were quite<br />
pleased with the numbers,” Little<br />
said.<br />
“This is a grass roots group.<br />
We will see how it evolves and<br />
grows up.”<br />
The classes are held at 6pm on<br />
Wednesday.<br />
Little said to check the trust’s<br />

where the class will be held.<br />

LETTERS<br />
Readers respond<br />
to last week’s <strong>Bay</strong><br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> News’ article<br />
on the proposed site<br />
for the new medical<br />
centre at Redcliffs<br />
I’m all for the medical centre<br />
moving and seeing the back of<br />
those old buildings. It’s a great<br />
idea.<br />
It’s my understanding that if<br />
the association had done their<br />
job in the first place the coastal<br />
pathway would actually go<br />
around the estuary, so it’s broken<br />
up anyway.<br />
Patients not having a medical<br />
centre for over a year while<br />
it’s being rebuilt is more of a<br />
priority than some equally ratty<br />
flowerbeds and some vague<br />
idea of economic viability? No,<br />
this is a good thing. – Gareth<br />
Davies, Redcliffs<br />
I am a long-standing resident<br />
of the Sumner/Redcliffs district,<br />
where I grew up in the 1950s.<br />
I am certain most responsible<br />
residents would agree that the<br />
availability and proximity of<br />
medical services, has always<br />
been essential, a prerequisite<br />
and accordingly is of clear<br />
priority over ancillary features<br />
in the neighbourhood such as<br />
expanded foot paths and/or<br />
cycleways.<br />
There is simply no justification<br />
or rationale to compromise or<br />
reduce the ability to provide<br />
essential medical care whenever<br />
it may be needed, emergency or<br />
otherwise.<br />
I understand that the present<br />
building and facilities have<br />
been outgrown and are long past<br />
their use by date, exacerbated<br />
by the earthquakes, but the<br />
suggestion that it should be<br />
rebuilt where it presently stands<br />
is somewhat farcical, given<br />
that the centre would have no<br />
temporary premises available to<br />
allow this and in all probability<br />
the present land area is anyway<br />
too small.<br />
I for one, would vote for the<br />
availability of a modern and<br />
close by medical centre over<br />
any cycle lane or pathway<br />
requirements and I am certain<br />
I am not alone in that. – Tony<br />
Edwards, Clifton Hill<br />
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
I’m really surprised that the<br />
city council would even consider<br />
compromising the efficacy and<br />
safety of the Coastal Pathway to<br />
benefit a private business.<br />
The pathway was built at<br />
huge expense (millions of dollars)<br />
for all of Christchurch, not<br />
just for Redcliffs, and has been<br />
promoted as a safe way for local<br />
children to walk, cycle or scoot<br />
to the newly completed Redcliffs<br />
School.<br />
Giving priority to traffic across<br />
it, and forcing schoolchildren,<br />
pedestrians and cyclists to give<br />
way on it surely defeats the<br />
purpose it was built for. K S<br />
Bovett, Redcliffs<br />
Having been in business in<br />
the Redcliffs shopping centre for<br />
46 years, I am amazed that the<br />
DEVELOPMENT:<br />
The new medical<br />
centre at Redcliffs<br />
is planned<br />
for this site.<br />
PHOTO: GEOFF<br />
SLOAN<br />
rebuild of the Redcliffs Medical<br />
Centre is proposed to take place at<br />
95 Main Rd, especially when one<br />
considers the unsuitability of the<br />
site compared with the current<br />
medical site, which, with its<br />
very close neighbours, a dentist,<br />
physio, optometrist and Plunket,<br />
offers a compact health facility.<br />
The creating of a fourth arm<br />
to the current intersection<br />
creates increased traffic<br />
complications and thereby<br />
increased danger.<br />
The proposal also significantly<br />
undermines the integrity of the<br />
multi-million dollar Coastal<br />
Pathway, touted as a safe passage<br />
for pedestrians and cyclists of all<br />
ages.<br />
Further, according to the plans<br />
there will be a loss of on-street<br />
landscaping of approximately<br />
70 per cent with no apparent<br />
requirement for the developers<br />
to reinstate the lost plantings.<br />
This is unacceptable, as is any<br />
decrease in freely available on<br />
street parking.<br />
The proposed development by<br />
a private developer offers very<br />
little and takes a lot. – Peter<br />
Croft<br />
With regard to the proposed<br />
change of site for the Redcliffs<br />
Medical Centre the following<br />
matters are of concern.<br />
Creating a busy driveway to<br />
intersect the Coastal Pathway is<br />
not a safe option.<br />
It goes against the intent of<br />
a clear access from the city to<br />
Sumner and negates the many<br />
millions of ratepayers dollars<br />
that were needed to create it.<br />
The danger to children using<br />
the proposed bisected pathway<br />
is of no small consequence – so<br />
dangerously different from their<br />
currently unimpeded access<br />
when using the pathway.<br />
If there is a suggestion to create<br />
lights to mitigate this problem,<br />
think of the speed that cyclists<br />
travel at as well as children on<br />
scooters.<br />
Access between the medical<br />
centre and local chemist is currently<br />
straightforward with the<br />
use of traffic lights.<br />
Yet more parking spaces will<br />
be lost which will affect the<br />
viability of the village surviving<br />
as a hub for the local residents. –<br />

THe Banks Peninsula<br />
Community Board was<br />
informed on December 7 that<br />
the Akaroa Service Centre,<br />
refurbished to meet the needs<br />
of the community at a cost of<br />
nearly $1 million in 2015, was<br />
closing to the public on January<br />
5, <strong>2021</strong>.<br />
Customer Services was<br />
moving into the Akaroa Area<br />
School and community library<br />
to form a citizens hub where<br />
the council has installed a new<br />
security system, TV camera<br />
and safe at considerable cost to<br />
ratepayers.<br />
However, the draft Long Term<br />
Plan, page 43, states that service<br />
centre desks in Lyttelton and<br />
Akaroa will close.<br />
The city council provided<br />
misleading and inaccurate<br />
information to ratepayers and<br />
the Akaroa Area School.<br />
It installed unnecessary, costly<br />
security equipment in the school<br />
and community library.<br />
In my view chief executive<br />
Dawn Baxendale’s Long Term<br />
Plan poses a serious threat to the<br />
resilience and well-being<br />
of remote and isolated<br />
communities such as Akaroa<br />
and the <strong>Bay</strong>s at a critical<br />
time when they need support<br />
and assistance. – Victoria<br />

•City council head of<br />
customer services Sarah<br />
Numan responds<br />
Most people now choose to use<br />
our online and phone services<br />
to make payments to the city<br />
council.<br />
With that number growing,<br />
we’ve reviewed the demand<br />
across the city for face-to-face<br />
financial transactions at our<br />
service desks.<br />
While <strong>10</strong> of our service desks<br />
have high demand, Akaroa<br />
and Lyttelton have minimal<br />
transactions, with a continuing<br />
decline since 2015. Accordingly,<br />
in our Draft Long Term Plan<br />
we are proposing to close these<br />
service desks. We encourage the<br />
community to submit feedback<br />
on the proposed change.<br />
Over the next six months,<br />
we a trialling the offer of faceto-face<br />
financial transactions<br />
at Akaroa Library. The decision<br />
on the proposed move of<br />
customer service functions for<br />
a trial period was introduced<br />
due to a staff change. An<br />
evaluation of the trial will help<br />
inform the decision making on<br />
the proposed change in the Long<br />
Term Plan.<br />
City council staff and Te Pātaka<br />
o Rākaihautū/Banks Peninsula<br />
Community Board will continue<br />
to use the building. All of<br />
the usual meetings will continue<br />
to be held in the boardroom in<br />
Akaroa such as the community<br />
board, Akaroa Urban Design<br />
Panel. Independently of the Long<br />
Term Plan decision for face-toface<br />
financial transactions at<br />
Akaroa, the property strategy<br />
for the old Post Office building is<br />
“retention.”<br />
While the city councillors and<br />
community work through the<br />
Long Term Plan consultation<br />
process, all services will be continue<br />
to offered, and delivered<br />
either directly at the Akaroa<br />
library or in conjunction with<br />

one of New<br />
Zealand’s most important<br />
coastal wetlands. Each<br />
week, board members will<br />
discuss matters regarding<br />
the estuary, its rich history<br />
and what makes it unique.<br />
This week Bill Simpson<br />
writes about a failed<br />
proposal to establish salt<br />
works<br />
IF YOU live on the hill overlooking<br />
the estuary you will be<br />
pleased to know the following<br />
idea is dead and gone and will<br />
not be spoiling your view.<br />
In 1917 Leslie Macarthur asked<br />
New Brighton Borough Council<br />
if he could use 300 acres (121ha)<br />
of estuary alongside the South<br />
Brighton Spit for salt works.<br />
That would have been 15 per<br />
cent of the estuary surface.<br />
ESTUARY MATTERS<br />
Plan for a salt works terminated in 1923<br />
At stake was a £<strong>10</strong>0 bonus offered<br />
by the government for the<br />
first 500 tons of salt produced in<br />
this country.<br />
Macarthur quickly gained the<br />
backing of the borough council<br />
and the Marine Department.<br />
He proposed a pipeline bring<br />
seawater from the coast to the<br />
salt works.<br />
His company had the grandiose<br />
title “Dominion Marine<br />
Electro-Solar Salt Works” but<br />
he evoked the ire of the district<br />
health officer who insisted<br />
that the probable by-products<br />
including alkali acid would be an<br />
“offensive trade.”<br />
Macarthur persisted and further<br />
support came from the city<br />
council and Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
Board. In 1921 he was offered a<br />
temporary lease of 20ha.<br />
A company was formed with<br />
a capital of £<strong>10</strong>,000. Macarthur<br />
asked the government to increase<br />
the bonus to £2000 for the first<br />
2000 tons of salt and also asked for<br />
protection from cheap imports.<br />
The government refused and<br />
in April 1923 the proposal was<br />
terminated. We can only wonder<br />
whether a house on the hill<br />
would have been so desirable if<br />
the salt-works had gone ahead.<br />
There’s a twist to this. One of<br />
the early residents of Southshore,<br />
George Skellerup, was obviously<br />
inspired by the story and started<br />
work on a salt works at Lake<br />
Grassmere near Blenheim.<br />
The government bought a<br />
share of his company and renamed<br />
it Dominion Salt Ltd.<br />
Salt was first harvested in 1949<br />
and to-date Lake Grassmere<br />
has been the main supplier of<br />
kitchen salt for New Zealand.<br />

agreement with the current<br />
owner to bring the land into<br />

– giving it another four months to<br />
fundraise.<br />
“We’ve raised<br />

24/7 AEDs on the Esplanade<br />
By Jane Paterson, trustee<br />
of the Sumner Ferrymead<br />
Foundation<br />
AUTO external defibrillators –<br />
or AEDs – are found on many<br />
premises, but what happens<br />
when premises are closed? After<br />
all, heart attacks happen at any<br />
time of the day.<br />
Sumner resident Dave Passmore,<br />
of Passmore First Aid,<br />
was concerned about the lack<br />
of AEDs that could be readily<br />
accessed at any time of the day<br />
along the Esplanade.<br />
As an experienced ER nurse<br />
and first aid trainer he has seen<br />
the difference an AED can make<br />
to patients when suffering a<br />
heart attack. So, in Passmore’s<br />
typical energetic style, he decided<br />
he had to do something about<br />
it.<br />
Passmore had heard about the<br />
Sumner Ferrymead Foundation<br />
so decided to approach them to<br />
see if they could fund an AED<br />
to be placed at the Sumner Surf<br />
Lifesaving Club to complement<br />
another one outside the Scarborough<br />
Café.<br />
“I felt we needed to have one<br />
at each end of the Esplanade as<br />
time is critical when someone<br />
is having a heart attack. Even if<br />
someone is midway along the<br />
Esplanade it wouldn’t take long<br />
for a bystander to sprint to the<br />
REAL ESTATE<br />
closest end to access the AED.<br />
The AED is in a locked box; you<br />
just dial 111 and clearly state the<br />
address to get the code to unlock<br />
the box.”<br />
Said chairman of the Sumner<br />
Ferrymead Foundation John<br />
Taylor said: “When Dave approached<br />
us to fund the AED, it<br />
was a logical decision to support<br />
the application. If it saves just<br />
one life it’s were worth every<br />
cent. How can you place a value<br />

on a life saved? So this was one<br />
application we readily supported.”<br />
Foundation trustee Jane<br />
Paterson attended one of Dave<br />
Passmore’s mini-courses on<br />
CPR/AED once the AEDs had<br />
been installed.<br />
“Whilst many of us have done<br />
a CPR course, it is really important<br />
we all familiarise ourselves<br />
with how to access and use the<br />
AEDs. Those placed on the<br />

PATERSON <br />
Esplanade talk you through what<br />
to do, so as long as you keep a<br />
calm head, the process is quite<br />
straight forward. I would encourage<br />
anyone to update their<br />
CPR training so they know what<br />
to do in the unfortunate case of<br />
someone having a heart attack.<br />
You always hope you will never<br />
have to perform CPR but I have<br />
a couple of friends who have had<br />
to, so it is important to keep your<br />
skills current,’’ Paterson said.<br />

S Send for help – Phone<br />

ADVERTISING FEATURE<br />
Timeless 1980s design meets contemporary<br />
elegance at this sympathetically rejuvenated<br />
family home that enjoys an exceptional valley<br />
outlook from a peaceful position on the<br />
Sumner flat.<br />
Immaculate and modernised to an exceptional<br />
standard, the home was built by John<br />
MacKenzie, and an extension was carefully<br />
carried out by the esteemed team from<br />
Shepard and Rout in 1995.<br />
This three-bedroom property exudes aesthetic<br />
appeal and showcases contemporary finesse<br />
without compromising on the home's<br />
attractive original features, including classic<br />
concrete block, timber detailing and in-built<br />
joinery. The kitchen and bathroom have been<br />
superbly upgraded in keeping with the home's<br />
era to provide immediate comfort, while<br />
further refurbishments in the form of an<br />
updated roof, guttering, fresh flooring and<br />
paintwork deliver undeniable convenience.<br />
The open plan kitchen and dining area enjoy<br />
a social orientation, incorporating quality<br />
Miele appliances and overlooking the charming<br />
garden. The separate lounge complements<br />
this space to provide a functional zone for<br />
entertaining and unwinding.<br />
The presence of a modern log burner with<br />
wetback, great insulation and double-glazing<br />
on the home's southern side provides warmth<br />
and comfort. The garden, complete with<br />
planter boxes, and a sizeable double garage<br />
round out the package.<br />
Set within a peaceful street only a stroll from<br />
St Leonards Park, it's also an easy walk to<br />
Sumner School, the beach and the village to<br />
provide families with an effortless lifestyle.<br />
This home is expected to attract considerable<br />
interest, and prospective purchasers should<br />
proceed at their earliest convenience.<br />
