Plan to 

increase 

train 

speed to 

50km/h 

• By Samantha Mythen 

HEATHCOTE residents will get 

the chance to have their say on 

a plan to increase the speed of 

trains through the valley. 

KiwiRail is proposing to increase 

train speed limits to 50km/h, an 

action they say, which should reduce 

the amount of noise and wear 

and tear on the locomotives. 

KiwiRail representatives are 

meeting with community members 

at 12.30pm on Monday at the 

Heathcote Community Centre to 

discuss the proposal. 

Heathcote Valley Community 

Association chairman Lewis Low 

said he is open-minded with the 

new proposal. 

“It could be good to have a trial 

of the new speed and then see 

how it goes.” 

Said KiwiRail general manager 

of South Island operations, Mark 

Heissenbuttel: “This increase 

in speed limit should reduce 

the amount of noise from the 

locomotives as they will no longer 

need to increase power as they 

approach the tunnel.”

Chaplain among first to get vaccine 

NEWS 3 

In Brief 


REVEREND JOHN McLister 

has become one of the first 

frontline border workers in 

Lyttelton to get a Covid-19 jab. 

McLister, who is the the 

Lyttelton Seafarers’ Centre 

chaplain, provides pastoral care 

to sailors on boats docked in 

Lyttelton. 

“It was no worse than a flu 

jab,” he said. 

McLister was one of many port 

workers who received the Pfizer 

vaccine on Friday. More than 

160 frontline workers at Lyttelton 

Port Company also received 

their first dose of the vaccine. 

These workers included cargo 

handlers, marine pilots, security 

and any LPC staff who board a 

vessel. 

The vaccine is being rolled out 

for frontline workers throughout 

New Zealand. 

McLister said, as a seafarers 

chaplain, he is one of the people 

having most contact with sailors. 

“From my perspective, it is 

not just about protecting the onshore 

community but I decided 

to take the vaccine to ensure that 

the seafarers also feel safe and 

comfortable about me coming 

on board,” he said. 

Many sailors are also worried 

about McLister bringing 

IMMUNISED: Reverend John McLister is one of the first 

frontline border workers to receive the Covid-19 vaccine. 

PHOTO: JOHN MCLISTER 

Covid-19 onto their ships. 

“I want to be able to assure the 

seafarers when I visit, that I’m 

taking all measures to keep them 

safe.” 

McLister quickly took up the 

offer for the vaccine in order to 

protect the sailors he helps. 

Alongside wearing personal 

protection equipment and 

following social distancing 

guidelines, getting the vaccine 

is another step of protecting the 

seafarers, McLister said. 

After the Government announced 

sailors were only able 

to come onshore if they had been 

at sea for 14 days and returned a 

negative Covid-19 test last year, 

the seafarer’s centre began working 

to deliver its welfare services 

on board. 

It provides personal shopping 

services, bring Wi-Fi units 

onboard, and provide emotional, 

social and spiritual care for sailors 

in the port. 

Since March last year, it has 

bought more than $125,000 of 

personal shopping for sailors 

unable to disembark. 

The Lyttelton Seafarers’ Centre 

was the first to employ this 

onboard pastoral care model, 

which has since been picked 

up by other ports around the 

country. 

McLister said: “Seafarers 

are being demonised and they 

shouldn’t be. 

“I personally feel safe and have 

more contacts with seafarers 

than with anyone else in New 

Zealand.” 

McLister is tested for Covid-19 

on a fortnightly basis and has 

had more than 12 tests so far – 

all have come back negative. 

LPC general manager of people 

and safety, Kirstie Gardener 

said: “The vaccine provides 

another layer of protection for 

our border workers, who still use 

PPE, social distance, undertake 

increased hygiene measures and 

complete regular testing.” 

McLister and the other port 

workers will receive a second 

dose of the vaccine in three 

weeks. 

MAINTENANCE WORK 

FOR SKATE RAMP 

The Sumner skate ramp is closed 

for the next two weeks as it 

undergoes re-skinning, repair 

and maintenance work to ensure 

continued safe use. A permanent 

skate park is set to be built in 

2022, and this temporary but 

well-loved structure has been 

in use for six years. The repair 

work was able to go ahead after 

the Sumner Green and Skate 

Group received funding from 

the Waikura/Linwood-Central- 

Heathcote Community Board 

and from the group’s own 

fundraising efforts. A Givealittle 

page is still open for donations 

to help with continuing 

maintenance. 

PEA STRAW SALE 

The Ferrymead Lions annual 

pea straw sale will be held 

on March 27. Bales will be 

available for purchase at the 

school end of McCormacks Bay 

and also opposite the Sumner 

Surf Life Saving Club building. 

The majority of funds raised 

from events such as its pea 

straw sale goes back into the 

community. Since its sales in 

spring, it has hosted a garage 

sale where $2500 was raised for 

Diabetes Canterbury.

INSTORE! 

Grief on the Run 

by Julie Zarifeh 

What happens when your life is rocked by unimaginable loss and grief? How do you 

survive and how do you keep going? 

Julie Zarifeh shares the tragic story of losing her 27-year-old son, Sam, in a whitewater 

rafting accident just sixteen days after her 60-year-old husband, Paul, died of pancreatic 

cancer. 

She describes how she and her surviving son and daughter dealt with this double 

whammy and how she embraced the notion of ‘active grieving’. This included a 

450-kilometre cycle tour around Sri Lanka, raising money to give disadvantaged Kiwi 

children new bikes; trekking the 800-kilometre Camino de Santiago; and running the 

New York marathon on behalf of the Mental Health Foundation. 

Julie’s account of learning to live with grief, plus her experience as a clinical psychologist, 

make this an inspirational and ultimately uplifting read. 

Joe Biden - Promises to Keep 

‘A ripping good read … Biden is a master storyteller and has stories worth telling.’ 

President Joe Biden tells the story of his extraordinary life and career prior to his 

emergence as Barack Obama’s beloved, influential vice president. 

Joe Biden has both witnessed and participated in a momentous epoch of American 

history. In Promises to Keep, he reveals what these experiences taught him about 

himself, his colleagues, and the institutions of government. 

With his customary honesty and wit, Biden movingly and eloquently recounts growing 

up in a staunchly Catholic multigenerational household in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and 

Wilmington, Delaware; overcoming personal tragedy, life-threatening illness, and career 

setbacks; his relationships with presidents, world leaders, and lawmakers on both sides 

of the aisle; and his leadership of powerful Senate committees. 

Farm for Life 

Mahi, mana and life on the land 

by Tangaroa Walker 

The awesomely inspiring true story of how Tangaroa Walker turned his life around through 

farming - and how what he learned can help anyone succeed. 

Tangaroa Walker’s early years were pretty rough. Adopted twice, he went to six different 

schools by the time he was six. He never read a book in his life and lived to play rugby. 

But he had a dream, and he knew how to do the mahi. 

Today, T is a true community and industry leader running a successful 500-cow dairy 

farm and reaching millions as the much-loved face of Farm4Life with his practical, 

inspiring, crack-up videos on everything from farming to fishing, finance to whanau, 

management to mental health. 

This is the story of how he did it - the good and the bad times - and all the lessons 

learned along the way.

New Zealand’s Underworld of Organised Crime 

By Jared Savage 

New Zealand is now one of the most lucrative illicit drug markets in the world. Organised 

crime is about making money. It’s a business. Award-winning investigative reporter 

Jared Savage shines a light into New Zealand’s rising underworld of organised crime 

and violent gangs. 

Mauri Ora 

by Peter Alsop and Te raumawhitu Kupenga 

Pearls of wisdom contained in proverbs - whakatauk I - have been gifted from generation 

to generation as an intrinsic part of the Maori world. As powerful metaphors, they combine 

analogy and cultural history in the most economical of words. Short and insightful, 

they surprise, engendering reflection, learning and personal growth. Mauri Ora links 

whakatauk I to key personal virtues idealised across cultures and generations. The 

virtues - wisdom, courage, compassion, integrity, self-mastery and belief - stem from the 

science of positive psychology; the study of how to live a better life. Illustrated throughout 

with wonderful photographs from an old world, this book draws on traditional wisdom to 

provide a recipe for personal effectiveness and leadership, and a rewarding connection 

of Maori knowledge to contemporary thinking about personal happiness and fulfilment.

MYSTERY surrounds why 

hundreds of thousands of honey 

bees have been dying in Lyttelton. 

Seven Lyttelton beekeepers met 

last week to investigate what was 

happening to the bees that have 

perished in huge numbers 

for the past three years in 

February. 

Local beekeepers Paul 

Maguire and Hannah 

Ewing joined forces creating 

the group for other 

beekeepers to discuss their 

concerns. 

Maguire said the hives 

seem to be affected at the 

same time with a massive die out. 

But the bee numbers then bounce 

back. 

“We want to find out what is happening 

so we can stop it happening 

again next year,” he said. 

Maguire said it was likely 

almost half a million bees died in 

Lyttelton. 

The beekeepers have several 

theories about what is killing the 

bees but have not yet found any 

conclusive evidence. 

A local resident or the city council 

could be spraying for weeds or 

baiting for wasps using substances 

toxic to bees. It could be an accumulative 

or one-off type event. Or 

something else could be happening. 

The group has decided to 

investigate the costs involved to 

send some of the dead bees and 

collected pollen to a laboratory 

to hopefully come to some 

conclusions. 

However, lab sampling can 

cost thousands of dollars, so the 

‘Lyttelton Beeks’ group, now made 

up of 19 beekeepers, is considering 

starting a community fundraiser in 

the future. 

Maguire, who owns 30 hives, 

including four in Lyttelton, said 

they think the issue is specific to 

the port town. 

He explained the problem 

was not seen in Cass Bay nor 

Governors Bay, although they 

had talked with a beekeeper 

in Moncks Spur. They had 

seen their bees die-off at the 

same time for the past five 

years. 

Maguire said: “Bees are like 

canaries in a coal mine. We 

need to realise if bees are dying, 

other things will be dying too.” 

The group is hoping to raise further 

awareness about taking care 

of bees. 

“There are weed and insect sprays 

out there that appear to be okay, 

but they contain surfactants which 

suffocate bees. 

“Some chemicals are okay for 

bees individually but when you mix 

them together they become toxic to 

bees,” he said. 

He also explained it is important 

to be aware of the times of the day 

for spraying. 

For example, if you are spraying 

roses for aphids, spray in the 

evening once bees have retired. 

The group wondered about the 

potential of an environmental science 

student focusing their thesis 

on this mysterious issue. 

“It will be a detective job to figure 

out what is going wrong,” Maguire 

said.

The current limit of

The noise and vibration

Heissenbuttel said the current 

40km/h was negatively impacting 

the train service. 

“The current limit means 

more wear and tear on the locomotives’ 

engines and increased 

fuel consumption because of the 

need to power up, along with 

greater difficulty in maintaining 

traction in adverse weather conditions 

and an increased chance

From keeping the peace in Bosnia to 


FIFTEEN YEARS ago, Lyttelton 

police Sergeant Gerard Peoples 

was roaming the streets of Banja 

Luka, watching life continue in 

the absence of war. 

In Bosnia and Herzegovina’s 

second largest city, the public 

were no longer running down 

its streets cowering in fear from 

sniper attacks, but peace still 

remained a distant dream in a 

country still very much divided. 

Peoples was serving under the 

European Union force as second-in-command 

of an observation 

and liaison team, helping 

with the government transition 

and holding authorities to 

account, including locating persons 

indited for war crimes. 

During the civil war that 

followed Bosnia’s secession from 

Yugoslavia in 1992, Banja Luka 

was the main stronghold for 

Bosnian Serbs in the country’s 

north. Persecution and violence 

drove thousands of Bosniaks 

(Bosnian Muslims), Croats, 

Roma and others out of the city. 

Two immense mosques, built 

in the city during the Ottoman 

period – the Ferhadija and the 

Arnaudija – were also destroyed 

in the three-year conflict, which 

devastated the country and took 

over 100,000 lives. 

Today Banja Luka, still Serb 

dominated, is the capital of a 

state within a state, known as 

Republika Srpska. This is one 

of two entities that make up the 

country. 

When Peoples was in Banja 

Luka, there were six observer 

teams spread throughout the local 

province, including one team 

from New Zealand. 

Peoples said tensions were still 

quite high in the area and there 

were numerous incidents of 

violence, especially as they were 

working in a Serbian dominated 

area. During his time there, 

more mass grave sites were 

unearthed and weapon deposits 

uncovered. 

Most of his work was spent, 

“out and about, feeling the pulse 

of the community.” 

Said Peoples: “This was to 

understand levels of tension so 

we could then report back to 

the task force headquarters if we 

required an infantry battle group 

to intervene.” 

“We were the finders and 

gatherers of community information.” 

After 10 years of peacekeepers 

being present in the country, 

the population were quite ambivalent 

to the visitors, yet the 

watchful eye of the international 

force stopped any tension from 

escalating. 

Peoples was fascinated by the 

country’s history and diverse 

culture, it being the crossroads 

of the east and west with strong 

Muslim influences. 

Upon visiting Sarajevo, he 

reflected on how much had 

changed since it had hosted the 

Winter Olympics in 1984. 

“It hosted an international 

event and then just 10 years later, 

the city was under siege and 

thousands of people were killed,” 

he said. 

Sarajevo is the capital and 

largest city in the country. During 

the civil war, it’s population 

faced daily bombing and sniper 

attacks from Serb nationalist 

forces for over three years. Over 

13,000 people were killed during 

the siege. Bullet holes still riddle 

many of the buildings, an echo 

from the past making sure the 

war is not forgotten. 

For his time observing in Bosnia 

and Herzegovina, Peoples 

was awarded the Task Group 

Commander’s Commendation 

for exceptional performance in 

stepping up to this role. 

People’s next placement was in 

Timor Leste in 2007-2008, where 

he was deployed as second in 

command of 120 New Zealand 

soldiers of the Infantry Rifle 

Company. 

Stationed in the capital of Dili, 

they were responsible for the 

security and stability of the area. 

The previous year had seen the 

unravelling of Timor Leste’s new 

journey to statehood. A military 

dispute resulted in mass protests, 

violence and about 200 lives lost. 

After an assassination attempt 

of then President Jose 

Ramos-Horta by rebel East 

Timorese troops, which seriously 

wounded him, Peoples and 

his company worked to secure 

the area and assist with initial 

inquiries into the shooting. 

New Zealand troops had 

already been present in the 

country for the past two years, 

and Peoples joined the fourth 

rotation. 

“The population just wanted 

stability and they had a very 

positive relationship with the 

New Zealand forces. We spent a 

lot of time playing football with 

the local kids,” Peoples said. 

His most recent overseas 

mission was as a United National 

Military Observer under its 

Truce Supervisory Organisation 

for 12 months in 2015 at Golan 

Heights. 

WAR TORN: Peoples peace-keeping in Bosnia and 

Herzegovina. 

Peoples said it was a great 

working environment. There 

were several observation 

posts spread out along the 

demilitarised zone separating 

Syria and Israel and as a captain 

in the army, he worked as an 

observation post leader of about 

13 other staff. 

Peoples’ role was to observe 

compliance of the agreement of 

disengagement and separation 

between Israel and Syria, an 

agreement in place since 1974, 

which had ended the Yom Kippur 

War. 

In the two years prior to Peoples 

being stationed there, several 

observers, including a New 

Zealander, had been taken hostage 

by extremist Islamic groups, 

so security was tight. The New 

Zealander was taken hostage in 

May 2013, and was returned five 

hours later unharmed. In 2014, 

a large group from Fiji and the 

Philippines were kidnapped. 

Peoples worked at the observation 

post on weeks rotations and 

he was also able to stay with his 

wife and young family who spent 

the year in Tiberias, Israel, supported 

by the United Nations. 

At the time it was a difficult 

situation as the Syrian civil 

war was in full strife. Peoples 

said most of the conflict they 

observed was between Syrians, 

including air strikes and machine 

gun battles which ravaged 

the country. The war has since 

displaced 5.6 million people 

from Syria, including 2.5 million 

children. 

“There was lots of activity in 

the area but we were observing 

from a distance,” said Peoples. 

Peoples received a letter of 

appreciation from the General 

Commander of UNTSO for 

exceptional service for his time 

at Golan Heights. 

What struck Peoples most,

while working overseas in these 

diverse and often strained communities, 

was recognising the 

clear similarities that bonded all 

as humans. 

“Having worked in diverse 

places with both locals and international 

staff, I saw that people, 

as individuals, are all the same, 

sharing the same aspirations 

for themselves, their family and 

their community,” he said. 

A key lesson he learned overseas, 

which he applies in New 

Zealand, is how important it is 

to take a neutral stance. 

Comparing feuding ethnicities 

with conflicting neighbours, 

Peoples explained, so long 

as either side thinks you are 

supporting the other, you are 

neutral and each side recognises 

they need to change their ways. 

On New Zealand shores but 

prior to taking up his role in 

Lyttelton, Peoples had spent 

18 months working as a police 

prosecutor. 

Now, 15 years later from 

his first overseas mission, 

Peoples is strolling the streets 

of Lyttelton, set to investigate 

community concerns and work 

on preventative action plans for 

these issues. 

Some of these concerns include 

boy racers, theft, and compliance 

with new speed limits. 

Boy racers are a notorious 

issue in the Banks Peninsula. 

Peoples recently took part 

in an operation looking for 

boy racers around Rapaki and 

Governors Bay. The mission was 

successful and several drivers 

were caught travelling over the 

speed limit by up to 30km/h. 

They were issued infringement 

offence notices. 

One driver caught was found 

to be breaching his bail conditions 

of not driving and the 

court has been informed.



NEWS 7 

battling peninsula’s boy racers 

Peoples’ intention is to re-roster 

his station staff with more late 

night shifts to continue the boy 

racer operation. 

He explained it is important to 

remember boy racers are not just 

a local issue but a societal one. 

“Boy racers are a community of 

their own, driven by many social 

factors,” Peoples said. 

“If we want to solve this issue, 

we need to address it as a whole 

community, policing is just an 

aspect.” 

Police are further working with 

the city council to discuss a long 

term plan for boy racers. 

Action has already been taken, 

including barrier fences installed 

along Gebbies Pass to stop park 

ups. 

Theft is another issue presented 

by the community which Peoples 

is hoping to address. 

Lyttelton and Sumner are 

seeing a continued amount of 

cars being stolen and broken into. 

Tradies cars have been especially 

targeted. 

Peoples said with more night 

shifts, they will be able to see who 

is out and about in the middle of 

the night. 

He recommended the 

community be mindful and have 

extra security. If things do get 

stolen, he said, it is important to 

provide as much information and 

detail as possible to the police. 

This means there is a better 

chance of the items being 

found. 

At the beginning of February, a 

Lyttelton man was arrested with 

dishonesty offences and has been 

remanded in custody. 

“This success story should have 

an effect on crime in Lyttelton,” 

Peoples said. 

In terms of enforcing new 

speed limits, Peoples explained 

locals need to be mindful of the 

new limits. 

“They have been changed to be 

more appropriate for road conditions,” 

he said. 

Of particular importance to 

Peoples is working with the community’s 

young people. 

Peoples has spent time working 

with the Limited Service Volunteer 

programme, a free six-week 

motivational training course run 

by the NZDF in conjunction with 

Work and Income. 

Aimed at those aged between 

18-24, the course builds self-esteem 

with a view to provide a 

platform for those involved to

in the Golan 

Heights. 

proceed to further education or 

employment. 

This course is something he 

would like to promote among 

Banks Peninsula youth. 

Peoples is stationed in Lyttelton 

on a six month rotation, covering 

for the previous sergeant while 

he is away on leave. He is hoping 

to stay in the Port for longer 

though. 

Peoples was born in 

Christchurch, lived in Westport 

until he was 10 and then he came 

back to the garden city. 

After finishing a Bachelor 

of Commerce in 1996, Peoples 

signed up for officer cadet school 

with the NZ Defence Force. 

“I saw it as an opportunity to 

be involved in something exciting 

and different,” he said. 

The 12 months of rigorous 

mental and physical training was 

a challenge. Of the 50 people who 

signed up, only 14 graduated. 

At the end of 1997, Peoples 

went to police college. It was 

always his intention to join the 

police. His father, Pat Peoples, 

was also an officer. 

He never officially left the army 

however, transferring to the 

territorials. 

Since then, he said, he’s been 

wearing these “double hats.” 

The Lyttelton-based police also 

serve the communities of Redcliffs, 

Sumner and the harbour 

bays. 

Currently, the team includes 

Peoples, and Senior Constables 

Gary Prescott and Heijo Bouma. 

Two more constables will join the 

station later on in the year. 

“There are not many staff for 

such a big area, however, the staff 

we have are very dedicated to 

these communities,” said Peoples. 

He has thoroughly enjoyed his 

first few months here. 

“It’s great to walk down the 

street, to chat to people and get 

friendly waves. It’s refreshing.”

Diamond Harbour wharf design approved 


DIAMOND Harbour residents 

are happy with a shorter gangway 

plan for the area’s wharf. 

City council staff have decided 

to continue with the original plan 

of a shorter gangway after they 

received approval from the Banks 

Peninsula Community Board 

meeting at the beginning of this 

month. 

Diamond Harbour 

Community Association 

chairman Nathan Graham 

said: “We are happy this project 

is moving 

forward.” 

Board 

chairwoman 

Tori Peden 

said they had 

approved 

this plan as 

the longer 

Tori Peden 

gangway 

would create 

more engineering difficulties. 

“We are ensuring the wharf will 

be made as accessible as it can be 

without having to engineer a solution 

to every problem,” she said. 

The longer gangway would also 

have limited other boat access to 

the wharf, something Peden said 

they wanted to avoid. 

Peden said the only issue with 


the shorter gangway was that it 

had a steeper pitch. 

“This is only an issue for low 

tides however, not during normal 

conditions.” 

Peden believes when the necessary 

arises, the community and 

other wharf users will be able to 

assist those who may struggle 

with the steeper access.

Graham said: “This is a 

solution that balances the 

issues. We can only have a 

floating platform up to a certain 

length due to the harbour 

conditions.” 

An update on the wharf will be 

provided to Diamond Harbour 

residents at their community 

association’s annual meeting on 

March 29. 

Peden said the next step for 

the wharf development is the 

final council sign-off and then 

construction will hopefully 

begin. 

Roll increases at Our Lady Star of the Sea School 


OUR LADY Star of the Sea 

School in Sumner is seeing a 

steady growth in enrolments. 

When principal Nathan Burford 

started in October last year, 

there were 45 students enrolled. 

Now they have 54 students and 

are set to reach 60 by the end of 

term 1. 

Burford said the school is 

attracting families from Lyttelton 

as one of the reasons behind the 

roll’s boom. 

The Catholic school in Lyttelton 

closed several years ago, and 

with Evans Pass open again, it is a 

quick 10min drive to Sumner. 

“Catholic families from Lyttelton 

are seeing our school as a 

viable option,” said Burford. 

The school’s education is based 

on Catholic values and as a small 

community school, they only have 

about 20 students in each class. 

Said Burford: “We are like a 

country school by the sea.” 

He explained the significant 

connection they have with the 

“Aupaki cluster;” the other 

schools in the area including Mt 

Pleasant, Sumner and Redcliffs. 

The schools come together for 

sporting events such as triathalon 

and cross-country. 

Burford said there had been 

the previous decline in the roll 

for various reasons including 

the impact of the earthquakes 

on the Sumner community and 

changing leaderships and staff.

Celebrating women from 

different walks of life 

• From page 1 

Another series featured is a 

celebration of women in music. 

The paintings include portraits 

of Benee, Elizabeth Stokes from 

The Beths, and Dame Kiri Te 

Kanawa. 

The final series is called 

‘Roles That Struck,’ featuring 

portraits of female movie and 

television characters who 

have inspired Hébert for their 

strong-will, intelligence, wit, 

bravery and passion. 

Hébert said: “This series 

is meant to highlight the 

importance of representation in 

entertainment. 

“The characters I’ve painted 

are not just successful but are 

silly and kind too, showing 

the diverse and complicated 

full range of a woman’s personality.” 

She hopes her paintings will 

start conversation around the 

rocky road women often face 

in life. 

Hébert is also encouraging 

the public to bring their 

children to the exhibition to 

show how young girls can grow 

up to achieve amazing things. 

Each of her series celebrates 

women through a different 

style of painting, something 

which challenged Hébert’s 

practice. 

The paintings are for sale and 

range in price between $500- 

$700. 

Portraiture is Hébert’s 

favourite focus for her 

paintings which she creates 

primarily with acrylics. Her 

style is impressionism with a 

hint of realism she captures in 

her subject’s expression. 

Hébert works full time as a 

geologist and is mother to two 

children. She is originally from 

the south of Montreal, Canada, 

but has called Redcliffs home 

for 10 years. 

She has been creating art for 

as long as she can remember, 

motivated by the satisfaction of 

completing a painting. 

“Painting fills my bucket, it 

makes me feel happy.” 

The exhibition is open for 

public viewing at The Rock 

until the end of April.

Call for temporary paua fishing ban 

MANA WHENUA and local 

stakeholders are calling upon the 

Minister of Fisheries to approve 

an open-ended, but temporary, 

prohibition on recreational and 

commercial fishing of pāua from 

reefs adjacent to Ōnuku Marae in 

Akaroa. 

The Akaroa Taiāpure management 

committee is recommending 

closure to prohibit the taking 

of pāua from the Ōnuku area 

by recreational and commercial 

fishers. 

Said Ōnuku Rūnanga chairman 

Rik Tainui: “The pāua and 

other kaimoana on the reefs 

next to Ōnuku Marae were once 

abundant and were a significant 

resource for people who were 

fishing for a feed and to sustain 

the functions of the marae. 

“We know from local knowledge 

that the fish stocks are 

nowhere near as plentiful and 

accessible as they once were.” 

The committee is made up 

of representatives from Ōnuku 

Rūnanga, Wairewa Rūnanga, and 

Te Rūnanga o Koukourarata, as 

well as recreational and commercial 

fishers, marine farmers, and 

tourism operators. 

STOCKS: 

Prohibiting the 

taking of paua 

near Onuku 

Marae (above) 

has been 

recommended. 

“We regularly see families 

coming to these reefs in front 

of the marae and taking large 

quantities of pāua. It’s clear this is 

not sustainable in the long-run,” 

Tainui said. 

The closure will allow this 

depleted population to replenish. 

The committee will work with 

research providers to monitor the 

recovery. 

“It’s critical our hapū have 

kaimoana to sustain the many 

cultural functions of the marae, 

as well as supply hapū members 

with a food source. 

“We are suggesting this measure 

for the good of the whole 

community. We need to ensure 

the Akaroa fishery’s formerly 

abundant levels are restored so 

people can once again come and 

catch a kai, otherwise we’re all 

going to lose out.” 

Tainui said the committee has 

not suggested an end date for the 

closure at this time. 

“Pāua have a slow recovery 

rate, so we are requesting that the 

proposed closure be open-ended 

and only lifted once we know 

a sufficient recovery has been 

achieved. 

The closure will protect juvenile 

pāua that are critical to the longterm 

sustainability of the fishery 

on the reefs.”

Akaroa 

classes to 

help you 

learn te reo 

A COMMUNITY group in 

Akaroa is engaging residents in 

the language of te reo Māori. 

Akaroa Resource Collective 

Trust co-ordinator Kerry Little 

said the class came about after a 

powhiri to welcome new Akaroa 

Area School new principal Ross 

Dunn and his family, 

“Te reo is beginning to be spoken 

on a day-to-day basis and yet 

we saw at the powhiri many people 

did not entirely understand 

what it meant,” she said. 

“We want to help encourage a 

greater understanding and use of 

the language.” 

The first weekly class was on 

February 24 and more than 20 

people attended. 

“We were really surprised by 

the initial response. With our 

small population, we were quite 

pleased with the numbers,” Little 

said. 

“This is a grass roots group. 

We will see how it evolves and 

grows up.” 

The classes are held at 6pm on 

Wednesday. 

Little said to check the trust’s 

Facebook page for updates on 

where the class will be held.

Readers respond 

to last week’s Bay 

Harbour News’ article 

on the proposed site 

for the new medical 

centre at Redcliffs 

I’m all for the medical centre 

moving and seeing the back of 

those old buildings. It’s a great 

idea. 

It’s my understanding that if 

the association had done their 

job in the first place the coastal 

pathway would actually go 

around the estuary, so it’s broken 

up anyway. 

Patients not having a medical 

centre for over a year while 

it’s being rebuilt is more of a 

priority than some equally ratty 

flowerbeds and some vague 

idea of economic viability? No, 

this is a good thing. – Gareth 

Davies, Redcliffs 

I am a long-standing resident 

of the Sumner/Redcliffs district, 

where I grew up in the 1950s. 

I am certain most responsible 

residents would agree that the 

availability and proximity of 

medical services, has always 

been essential, a prerequisite 

and accordingly is of clear 

priority over ancillary features 

in the neighbourhood such as 

expanded foot paths and/or 

cycleways. 

There is simply no justification 

or rationale to compromise or 

reduce the ability to provide 

essential medical care whenever 

it may be needed, emergency or 

otherwise. 

I understand that the present 

building and facilities have 

been outgrown and are long past 

their use by date, exacerbated 

by the earthquakes, but the 

suggestion that it should be 

rebuilt where it presently stands 

is somewhat farcical, given 

that the centre would have no 

temporary premises available to 

allow this and in all probability 

the present land area is anyway 

too small. 

I for one, would vote for the 

availability of a modern and 

close by medical centre over 

any cycle lane or pathway 

requirements and I am certain 

I am not alone in that. – Tony 

Edwards, Clifton Hill 


I’m really surprised that the 

city council would even consider 

compromising the efficacy and 

safety of the Coastal Pathway to 

benefit a private business. 

The pathway was built at 

huge expense (millions of dollars) 

for all of Christchurch, not 

just for Redcliffs, and has been 

promoted as a safe way for local 

children to walk, cycle or scoot 

to the newly completed Redcliffs 

School. 

Giving priority to traffic across 

it, and forcing schoolchildren, 

pedestrians and cyclists to give 

way on it surely defeats the 

purpose it was built for. K S 

Bovett, Redcliffs 

Having been in business in 

the Redcliffs shopping centre for 

46 years, I am amazed that the 

DEVELOPMENT: 

The new medical 

centre at Redcliffs 

is planned 

for this site. 

PHOTO: GEOFF 

SLOAN 

rebuild of the Redcliffs Medical 

Centre is proposed to take place at 

95 Main Rd, especially when one 

considers the unsuitability of the 

site compared with the current 

medical site, which, with its 

very close neighbours, a dentist, 

physio, optometrist and Plunket, 

offers a compact health facility. 

The creating of a fourth arm 

to the current intersection 

creates increased traffic 

complications and thereby 

increased danger. 

The proposal also significantly 

undermines the integrity of the 

multi-million dollar Coastal 

Pathway, touted as a safe passage 

for pedestrians and cyclists of all 

ages. 

Further, according to the plans 

there will be a loss of on-street 

landscaping of approximately 

70 per cent with no apparent 

requirement for the developers 

to reinstate the lost plantings. 

This is unacceptable, as is any 

decrease in freely available on 

street parking. 

The proposed development by 

a private developer offers very 

little and takes a lot. – Peter 

Croft 

With regard to the proposed 

change of site for the Redcliffs 

Medical Centre the following 

matters are of concern. 

Creating a busy driveway to 

intersect the Coastal Pathway is 

not a safe option. 

It goes against the intent of 

a clear access from the city to 

Sumner and negates the many 

millions of ratepayers dollars 

that were needed to create it. 

The danger to children using 

the proposed bisected pathway 

is of no small consequence – so 

dangerously different from their 

currently unimpeded access 

when using the pathway. 

If there is a suggestion to create 

lights to mitigate this problem, 

think of the speed that cyclists 

travel at as well as children on 

scooters. 

Access between the medical 

centre and local chemist is currently 

straightforward with the 

use of traffic lights. 

Yet more parking spaces will 

be lost which will affect the 

viability of the village surviving 

as a hub for the local residents. –

THe Banks Peninsula 

Community Board was 

informed on December 7 that 

the Akaroa Service Centre, 

refurbished to meet the needs 

of the community at a cost of 

nearly $1 million in 2015, was 

closing to the public on January 

5, 2021. 

Customer Services was 

moving into the Akaroa Area 

School and community library 

to form a citizens hub where 

the council has installed a new 

security system, TV camera 

and safe at considerable cost to 

ratepayers. 

However, the draft Long Term 

Plan, page 43, states that service 

centre desks in Lyttelton and 

Akaroa will close. 

The city council provided 

misleading and inaccurate 

information to ratepayers and 

the Akaroa Area School. 

It installed unnecessary, costly 

security equipment in the school 

and community library. 

In my view chief executive 

Dawn Baxendale’s Long Term 

Plan poses a serious threat to the 

resilience and well-being 

of remote and isolated 

communities such as Akaroa 

and the Bays at a critical 

time when they need support 

and assistance. – Victoria 

Andrews 


•City council head of 

customer services Sarah 

Numan responds 

Most people now choose to use 

our online and phone services 

to make payments to the city 

council. 

With that number growing, 

we’ve reviewed the demand 

across the city for face-to-face 

financial transactions at our 

service desks. 

While 10 of our service desks 

have high demand, Akaroa 

and Lyttelton have minimal 

transactions, with a continuing 

decline since 2015. Accordingly, 

in our Draft Long Term Plan 

we are proposing to close these 

service desks. We encourage the 

community to submit feedback 

on the proposed change. 

Over the next six months, 

we a trialling the offer of faceto-face 

financial transactions 

at Akaroa Library. The decision 

on the proposed move of 

customer service functions for 

a trial period was introduced 

due to a staff change. An 

evaluation of the trial will help 

inform the decision making on 

the proposed change in the Long 

Term Plan. 

City council staff and Te Pātaka 

o Rākaihautū/Banks Peninsula 

Community Board will continue 

to use the building. All of 

the usual meetings will continue 

to be held in the boardroom in 

Akaroa such as the community 

board, Akaroa Urban Design 

Panel. Independently of the Long 

Term Plan decision for face-toface 

financial transactions at 

Akaroa, the property strategy 

for the old Post Office building is 

“retention.” 

While the city councillors and 

community work through the 

Long Term Plan consultation 

process, all services will be continue 

to offered, and delivered 

either directly at the Akaroa 

library or in conjunction with 

our customer services team. 

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 a failed 

proposal to establish salt 

works 

IF YOU live on the hill overlooking 

the estuary you will be 

pleased to know the following 

idea is dead and gone and will 

not be spoiling your view. 

In 1917 Leslie Macarthur asked 

New Brighton Borough Council 

if he could use 300 acres (121ha) 

of estuary alongside the South 

Brighton Spit for salt works. 

That would have been 15 per 

cent of the estuary surface. 

ESTUARY MATTERS 

Plan for a salt works terminated in 1923 

At stake was a £100 bonus offered 

by the government for the 

first 500 tons of salt produced in 

this country. 

Macarthur quickly gained the 

backing of the borough council 

and the Marine Department. 

He proposed a pipeline bring 

seawater from the coast to the 

salt works. 

His company had the grandiose 

title “Dominion Marine 

Electro-Solar Salt Works” but 

he evoked the ire of the district 

health officer who insisted 

that the probable by-products 

including alkali acid would be an 

“offensive trade.” 

Macarthur persisted and further 

support came from the city 

council and Lyttelton Harbour 

Board. In 1921 he was offered a 

temporary lease of 20ha. 

A company was formed with 

a capital of £10,000. Macarthur 

asked the government to increase 

the bonus to £2000 for the first 

2000 tons of salt and also asked for 

protection from cheap imports. 

The government refused and 

in April 1923 the proposal was 

terminated. We can only wonder 

whether a house on the hill 

would have been so desirable if 

the salt-works had gone ahead. 

There’s a twist to this. One of 

the early residents of Southshore, 

George Skellerup, was obviously 

inspired by the story and started 

work on a salt works at Lake 

Grassmere near Blenheim. 

The government bought a 

share of his company and renamed 

it Dominion Salt Ltd. 

Salt was first harvested in 1949 

and to-date Lake Grassmere 

has been the main supplier of 

kitchen salt for New Zealand.

Trust fundraiser building up for land purchase 

“ROD DONALD Banks

how crowd funding for the Te 

Ahu Pātiki purchase is going,” 

trust manager Suky Thompson

The trust launched a public 

campaign to fundraise $600,000 

toward the purchase of Te Ahu

agreement with the current 

owner to bring the land into 

public ownership on July 1, 2021 

– giving it another four months to 

fundraise. 

“We’ve raised 

over half the

that with further 

public support 

we will get 

there,” Thompson 

said. 

Te Ahu Pātiki 

is 500ha of iconic land in the 

Lyttelton/Whakaraupō basin 

including the two highest peaks 

on Banks Peninsula, Mt Herbert/ 

Te Ahu Pātiki and Mt Bradley. 

“The land is highly visible from 

nearly everywhere in the basin,” 

trust chairwoman Maureen Mc- 

Cloy said. 

“And from the whole Port Hills 

crater rim. Bay Harbour News 

readers will see it transform from 

golden gorse and pasture into 

green native forest over the next 30 

years, as it goes through a similar 

transition to the more remote

people. 

comes from these wonderful 

mentors, who are the real 

heroes. They spend many hours 

guiding, supporting their mentees 

and willingly sharing their 

expertise. 

To ensure work isn’t duplicated, 

and to identify gaps, we are 

mapping the support available 

from iwi, central and local 

government agencies, our 

education providers, charitable 

trusts, and other support groups. 

Impact projects can then be 

delivered to provide support 

where needed. 

It is critical we ensure our 

community has access to the 

information they need, and is 

aware of the help available.

regional information resources

into the hands of business. those who 

need it.

24/7 AEDs on the Esplanade 

By Jane Paterson, trustee 

of the Sumner Ferrymead 

Foundation 

AUTO external defibrillators – 

or AEDs – are found on many 

premises, but what happens 

when premises are closed? After 

all, heart attacks happen at any 

time of the day. 

Sumner resident Dave Passmore, 

of Passmore First Aid, 

was concerned about the lack 

of AEDs that could be readily 

accessed at any time of the day 

along the Esplanade. 

As an experienced ER nurse 

and first aid trainer he has seen 

the difference an AED can make 

to patients when suffering a 

heart attack. So, in Passmore’s 

typical energetic style, he decided 

he had to do something about 

it. 

Passmore had heard about the 

Sumner Ferrymead Foundation 

so decided to approach them to 

see if they could fund an AED 

to be placed at the Sumner Surf 

Lifesaving Club to complement 

another one outside the Scarborough 

Café. 

“I felt we needed to have one 

at each end of the Esplanade as 

time is critical when someone 

is having a heart attack. Even if 

someone is midway along the 

Esplanade it wouldn’t take long 

for a bystander to sprint to the 

REAL ESTATE 

closest end to access the AED. 

The AED is in a locked box; you 

just dial 111 and clearly state the 

address to get the code to unlock 

the box.” 

Said chairman of the Sumner 

Ferrymead Foundation John 

Taylor said: “When Dave approached 

us to fund the AED, it 

was a logical decision to support 

the application. If it saves just 

one life it’s were worth every 

cent. How can you place a value

on a life saved? So this was one 

application we readily supported.” 

Foundation trustee Jane 

Paterson attended one of Dave 

Passmore’s mini-courses on 

CPR/AED once the AEDs had 

been installed. 

“Whilst many of us have done 

a CPR course, it is really important 

we all familiarise ourselves 

with how to access and use the 

AEDs. Those placed on the

Esplanade talk you through what 

to do, so as long as you keep a 

calm head, the process is quite 

straight forward. I would encourage 

anyone to update their 

CPR training so they know what 

to do in the unfortunate case of 

someone having a heart attack. 

You always hope you will never 

have to perform CPR but I have 

a couple of friends who have had 

to, so it is important to keep your 

skills current,’’ Paterson said.

ADVERTISING FEATURE 

Timeless 1980s design meets contemporary 

elegance at this sympathetically rejuvenated 

family home that enjoys an exceptional valley 

outlook from a peaceful position on the 

Sumner flat. 

Immaculate and modernised to an exceptional 

standard, the home was built by John 

MacKenzie, and an extension was carefully 

carried out by the esteemed team from 

Shepard and Rout in 1995. 

This three-bedroom property exudes aesthetic 

appeal and showcases contemporary finesse 

without compromising on the home's 

attractive original features, including classic 

concrete block, timber detailing and in-built 

joinery. The kitchen and bathroom have been 

superbly upgraded in keeping with the home's 

era to provide immediate comfort, while 

further refurbishments in the form of an 

updated roof, guttering, fresh flooring and 

paintwork deliver undeniable convenience. 

The open plan kitchen and dining area enjoy 

a social orientation, incorporating quality 

Miele appliances and overlooking the charming 

garden. The separate lounge complements 

this space to provide a functional zone for 

entertaining and unwinding. 

The presence of a modern log burner with 

wetback, great insulation and double-glazing 

on the home's southern side provides warmth 

and comfort. The garden, complete with 

planter boxes, and a sizeable double garage 

round out the package. 

Set within a peaceful street only a stroll from 

St Leonards Park, it's also an easy walk to 

Sumner School, the beach and the village to 

provide families with an effortless lifestyle. 

This home is expected to attract considerable 

interest, and prospective purchasers should 

proceed at their earliest convenience.
