Crime 

wave a 

worry for 

residents 

• By Samantha Mythen 

SUMNER AND Redcliffs are in 

the grip of a crime wave residents 

say. 

Houses and cars are being 

broken into, and vehicles 

stolen. 

Beachville Rd resident Shannon 

Marshall has recently installed 

cameras on his property. 

“The crime in my area is 

rampant. I often see suspicious 

people scoping houses out, 

including my own,” he said. 

He said the crime has become 

worse since construction in the 

area has increased. 

Marshall has been burgled 

twice in the last 18 months and 

just last month, a car was stolen 

from his neighbouring property. 

The second time Marshall was 

burgled, the offenders backed a 

van up his driveway and stole a 

quad bike, dive gear, lawnmower, 

and a large tool chest – almost 

$16,000 in value. 

Residents are now considering 

setting up a community patrol. 

They have also questioned 

whether police are responding 

quick enough.

Train speed to remain at 40km/h 


HEATHCOTE residents have 

told KiwiRail they do not want 

train speeds to increase through 

their valley. 

It seems KiwiRail have 

listened. 

Representatives from the 

company, Steve Pye and John 

Gousmett, have stated they will 

recommend the speed stay the 

same after receiving feedback 

from a community meeting held 

on Monday at 12.30pm. 

Said Gousmett: “We want to be 

a good neighbour as well.” 

The valley community rallied 

together after KiwiRail had proposed 

raising the speed limits of 

its trains from 40 to 50km/h. 

Over 60 people turned up to 

share their perspective. 

The representatives led the 

meeting, explaining their rationale 

for increasing the speed limit. 

Gousmett explained the increase 

would reduce the amount 

of noise as the trains would no 

longer need to increase power 

as they approached Lyttelton 

tunnel. 

He also said the trains were 

currently burning more diesel 

and this was counter-productive 

to KiwiRail’s commitment to be 

carbon neutral by 2050. 

However, residents pointed 

out, the main issue, was the 

vibration caused by the trains. 

Care & 

Compassion 

We pride ourselves on the 

very highest level of service 

Heathcote Ward city councillor 

Sara Templeton said she 

does not always hear the noise 

of the train, but 

it makes her windows 

rattle. 

Another 

resident pointed 

out, the faster 

the train goes, 

Sara 

Templeton 

the higher the 

vibration. 

“Rather than 

increase the speed, it should 

come a notch down,” he said. 

“The well-being and peace of 

mind of the community should 

come first.” 

Prior to the earthquakes, 

the trains travelled at 70km/h 

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz 

ISSUE: KiwiRail has agreed to keep train speed through 

Heathcote at 40km/h. 

through the valley yet requests 

from residents to lower the speed 

were granted. Residents could 

not tell whether the noise and vibration 

was from an approaching 

train or an earthquake and it was 

causing emotional distress as 

well as further damage to homes. 

Said Gousmett: “This provided 

many benefits to you but created 

issues for KiwiRail as a business.” 

At the meeting, residents 

brought other issues to 

KiwiRail’s attention. 

Resident Rita Beesley asked the 

representatives how they were 

managing the trains’ speeds in 

the first place. 

“They fly through at night,’’ 

she said.

get smart... 

and yours could be sold too! 

SOLD 

Gousmett assured the community, 

they would investigate 

monitoring the trains’ speeds 

to ensure they are following the 

limit. 

Another resident asked why 

the trains idled so much in the 

valley. Gousmett explained this 

was because only one train could 

go through Lyttelton tunnel at a 

time. 

Maria Ayala commented on 

the fumes from the train. 

Furthermore, it was pointed 

out the train track is overgrown 

and is an eyesore. 

Many people were unable to 

attend the meeting as it was held 

during work hours, a choice 

questioned by the residents. 

Said Templeton: “It is great 

KiwiRail have been able to listen 

to the community’s concerns and 

are able to change their recommendation, 

understanding the 

issue is primarily about vibration 

and to increase the speed will 

increase the vibrations.” 

Heathcote Valley Community 

Association chairman Lewis 

Low said: “This was an excellent 

meeting. It’s great the KiwiRail 

representatives were reasonable, 

surprisingly so.” 

KiwiRail is expecting to 

receive a new fleet of trains for 

the South Island in 2023. They 

will be low-emission, dieselelectric 

hybrids.

Kate loses 36cm of 

hair to support cancer 

GOVERNORS Bay 

14-year-old Kate 

Presswood has lost 36cm 

of her hair for cancer. 

On Saturday, as part of 

the nationwide Shave for 

a Cure, Kate donated her 

locks to Freedom Hair, a 

charity that creates wigs 

for those who have lost 

their hair as a side effect 

from cancer treatment 

including chemotherapy. 

Kate also decided to raise 

money for Anne Bay who 

has been diagnosed with 

breast cancer and brain 

cancer within the last five 

years. Her mother works 

with Anne’s mother. 

Said Kate: “Can you 

imagine what it would 

be like to be diagnosed 

with terminal cancer 

with a young family? 

Neither can I. 

“For a while I have been 

wanting to cut most of my 

hair off and I thought it 

would be a great idea to cut 

it for Anne.” 

Anne is the mother of 

three children, all under 

the age of six, and every 

day she tries her utmost to 

heal and survive. 

Kate said she could not

important to her at such a

The Bone Code 

by Kathy Reichs 

New York Times Bestselling author KATHY REICHS returns with her next 

edge-of-your seat thriller featuring forensic anthropologist Temperance 

Brennan. A storm has hit South Carolina, dredging up crimes of the 

past. On the way to Isle of Palms, a barrier island off the South 

Carolina coast, forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan 

receives a call from the Charleston coroner. During the storm, a 

medical waste container has washed up on the beach. Inside 

are two decomposed bodies wrapped in plastic sheeting and 

bound with electrical wire. Chillingly, Tempe recognizes many 

details as identical to those of an unsolved case she handled in 

Quebec fifteen years earlier. With a growing sense of foreboding, 

she flies to Montreal to gather evidence and convince her boss 

Pierre LaManch to reopen the cold case. She also seeks the adviceand 

comfort-of her longtime beau Andrew Ryan. Meanwhile, a storm 

of a different type gathers force in South Carolina. The citizens of Charleston 

are struck by a bacterium that, at its worst, can eat human flesh. Thousands 

panic and test themselves for a rare genetic mutation that may have rendered 

them vulnerable. Shockingly, Tempe eventually discovers that not only are 

the victims in both grisly murder cases related, but that the murders and the 

disease outbreak also have a common cause...

RICHMOND, CLIFTON and 

Scarborough residents are being 

asked to offer their homes to 

other residents and visitors in 

the event of a tsunami. 

Putting a green bin at the 

end of the driveway indicates a 

resident’s home is available for 

others to stay in until the tsunami 

passes or the area is declared 

safe again. 

Sumner Community 

Residents’ Association deputy 

chairwoman, Liza Sparrow said: 

“If you want to host, putting 

your green bin out shows you 

have room at the in. Green is for 

go. 

“The community and emergency 

services have received this 

idea really positively.” 

The idea blossomed via a team 

effort between the residents’ 

association and local groups, 

including the Sumner Volunteer 

Fire Brigade, Sumner Lifeboat 

Institute, and Sumner School. 

The goal was to design a local 

response to emergencies. 

After Sumner and Taylors 

Mistake residents headed for 

the hills after the Kaikoura 

earthquake in 2016, many 

people sat in their cars for hours 

overnight. Some people had 

collected elderly neighbours and 

those with physical impairment 

in their cars too, taking them up 

the hill while they waited for the 

all clear. 

When hill residents heard 

about this, many said they would 

have opened their homes as a 

safe and warm place to stay. 

The host idea was then 

introduced, ready for the next 

emergency evacuation. 

“This complements our local 

philosophy of looking after one 

another – not only during a natural 

disaster but 24/7,” Sparrow 

said. 

Sumner valley is classed as a 

red and orange evacuation zone, 

meaning if an earthquake occurs 


Green bin a welcome in tsunami warning 

and it is long or strong, people 

must leave the area immediately. 

If there are sudden sea-level 

changes or unusual noises coming 

from the sea, or if an official 

warning from Civil Defence 

emergency management is sent 

out, people must also immediately 

evacuate. 

The red zone, along Sumner’s 

beach front indicates it is most 

likely to be affected by a tsunami. 

The valley floor of Sumner is 

an orange zone, and although 

it is less likely to be affected by 

a tsunami, it is included in the

immediate evacuation plan. 

Sparrow is hoping to run a 

community engagement education 

programme for this idea 

but they are currently needing 

funding. 

“Our mission is to connect 

people and place, believing 

a connected community is a 

healthy one,’’ she said. 

“We encourage our 

community to understand 

the “long or strong, get gone,” 

messaging, and to also check 

on their neighbours before they 

leave.”

New app 

tells stories 

of port 


A LYTTELTON resident is 

bringing her oral history project 

to her own streets, and school 

pupils are taking the lead on 

involvement. 

Our Stories, created by Kris 

Herbert, is a smartphone app and 

website that you can access and 

use as a free audio walking tour 

around the port. 

It is a community storytelling 

project, with those who live and 

work in the area interviewed for 

their stories. 

Herbert first brought the project 

to Lyttelton in 2016, but is hoping 

to amp it up this year. 

“It is part oral history and part 

tourism, but is all authentic,” 

Herbert said. 

Our Stories has been connecting 

with Lyttelton Primary 

School. 

School pupils are the centre of 

the project, interviewing those 

who have grown up in Lyttelton. 

Herbert then edits and curates the 

stories, matching them to specific 

places. When you visit that place, 

you can listen to the story. 

Stickers with QR codes 

have also been placed around 

Lyttelton, which you can scan and 

then be immediately transported 

to someone’s story.

long-term solution. 

Complaints were first made 

about the poem in September 

last year. 

Paul Dietsche was among 

several people who reported 

the graffiti to the city council 

via their Snap, Send and Solve 

feature in September. 

“I am all for artistic expression 

but this is not appropriate for a 

children’s play area. It is dystopic 

and suicidal, it seems,’’ Dietsche 

said. 

Amber Moke’s two children go 

to Lyttelton Primary School. 

“We need to acknowledge this 

is a children’s sports field and it 

is used as such every week. We 

need to look at it through their 

eyes,” Moke said. 

“We do not want these messages 

floating around our children’s 

subconscious and being 

reinforced every day.” 

Moke said the timing it has 

taken for the graffiti to be acknowledged 

was unacceptable. 

After not hearing any response, 

Dietsche went to the city 

council again at the beginning 

of March. This, and discussion 

on the Lyttelton community 

group on Facebook, finally drew 

a response. 

Deputy Mayor Andrew Turner 

asked city council staff why no 

action had yet been taken to 

remove the graffiti. 

Turner was told the wall was 

part of an area 

owned by the 

Ministry of 

Education which 

was making it 

seemingly more 

difficult for the 

Andrew 

Turner 

city council 

to remove the 

graffiti. 

“For the good of the community, 

this graffiti needs to be 

removed,” Turner said. 

He plans to keep a close eye 

on the city council to ensure 

the graffiti is now removed in a 

timely manner. 

Turner also plans to investigate 

why it took so long for the 

complaints about the graffiti to 

be seen. 

Said Dietsche: “I am glad 


CONTENTIOUS: Graffiti on a wall near Lyttelton Primary 

School.

to hear it is finally going to be 

removed but it took a ridiculous 

amount of time.” 

Moke has been researching 

a longer term solution to the 

graffiti issue. 

“Every time it is removed, it 

becomes a clean canvas for another 

person to graffiti on.” 

She is suggesting a mural be 

painted on the wall to add some 

colour and positive messaging to 

the sports field. 

The wall ihas been identified 

as a significant historic place 

with a category 1 listing with 

Heritage New Zealand. It is part 

of the foundations of the Lyttelton 

Gaol site. 

This has created potential difficulties 

with the mural idea. 

The heritage listing also means 

a special methodology has to be 

employed for the removal of the 

graffiti to not damage the wall’s 

surface.

Clotilde Romano’s husband had 

his car broken into in Wiggins St 

and stolen several weeks ago. It 

was left on the Esplanade. They 

reported it to police and were 

surprised the police did not come 

to check the vehicle out. 

“This is not good service 

from the police. It looks like we 

are left here alone with all our 

problems and this is not good,” 

she said. 

Cave Tce residents Sarah 

McDonagh and her partner 

Benjamin Ellis-Jones’ Toyota 

Landcruiser was broken into at 

the beginning of January. 

Ellis-Jones’ builder’s tools were 

taken and the truck was badly 

damaged with smashed windows 

and its front destroyed. 

Said McDonagh: “It’s really 

affected his workload and business 

as the courtesy car he has is 

not ideal for running a building 

business.” 

“I’m still so hurt and on edge 

with who has done this. We’ve 

had so many robberies around 

us and nothing has been done. 

It’s a beautiful area but this is the 

biggest downfall.” 

The police visited McDonagh 

two weeks after they had reported 

the theft. It was too late, she said. 

Adan Soroka had a snowboard

and helmet stolen from his Menzies 

St garage earlier this year. 

Rupert Smith was visiting 

Sumner and his four-wheel-drive 

packed with his mountain bike, 

surfboards, tools and wetsuits 

was stolen on March 10. 

Sergeant Gerard Peoples told 

Bay Harbour News police were 

listening to the community’s 

concerns. 

“We are listening to the concerns 

of the local community as 

this is reality for them. We want 

to effect the level of offending and 

provide community reassurance. 

“We are planning to re-roster 

shifts to later hours to help provide 

preventative action in these 

area,” he said. 

Meanwhile, an arrest seems to 

have had an impact on a crime 

wave in Lyttelton. 

Peoples said police saw a drop 

in reported thefts and taking of 

motor vehicles in the Lyttelton 

area in the week following the 

arrest of a man at an address in 

the port last month. 

The man is facing 61 active 

charges, including eight charges 

of unlawful taking of motor vehicles, 

thefts from motor vehicles, 

and three charges for burglaries, 

including one in Heathcote 

Valley. His second appearance in 

court is at the end of the month.

THE LYTTELTON Harbour 

Information Centre’s new 

manager wants the public to 

know the resource is not just for 

peninsula visitors but is available 

for the community too. 

Jane Davies says the centre 

has a wealth of information 

about what is happening in the 

harbour area, from a directory of 

local businesses, public transport 

timetables, community events, 

and walking tracks. 

The centre also has a new 

chairman, Chris Brown. 

Brown said they want to 

change the perception of the 

organisation being just a visitor 

centre. 

“We want to increase local 

community engagement,” he 

said. 

They are hoping to increase 

the engagement in time for when 

Lyttelton hosts SailGP in January 

next year. The centre wants to be 

the go-to place for information 

on the event. 

Said Davies: “We will provide 

answers to any questions the 

community may have about the 

event’s affect on Lyttelton.” 

The centre is made up of about 

20 volunteers. They are currently 

looking to expand their team. 

“A lot of the visitors to the 

centre are young people and so 

we would love to have a young 


person on the team,” Davies 

said. 

Davies is originally from the 

United Kingdom. 

She immigrated to New 

Zealand again two-and-a-half 

years ago, calling herself a “yo-yo 

pom,” having lived here previously. 

It had always been her dream 

to live in Lyttelton and now, she 

finally calls it her home. 

“It is a great place to make 

friends and the dream was 

always the view of the harbour,” 

Davies said.

Bid to change perception of visitor centre 

INFORMATION: Chris 

Brown and Jane Davies 

are hoping to increase 

local engagement with the 

information centre, saying 

it’s not just for visitors. 

PHOTOS: GEOFF SLOAN 

“It always tugged at my heart.” 

Having immersed herself in 

the community while volunteering 

for the centre since she first 

moved back here, Davies jumped 

at the opportunity to be the new 

manager. 

“I love volunteering in Lyttelton, 

and most of all, I love 

the volunteers that work here. 

They’re a great bunch of people,’’ 

she said. 

Brown is also originally from 

the UK. He has lived in Lyttelton 

for 24 years. 

Like Davies, he loves living in 

Lyttelton where no two days are 

the same. 

Said Brown: “I felt welcome 

here from day one.”

Veterinary practice 

The Danger of Barley Grass Seeds 

We Kiwis LOVE the summer. Long days filled with 

BBQs, beaches, sun & spending time with our 

family – both human and animal members. 

Something that veterinary practices around 

the country see during these dry hot summer 

months are animals (especially dogs) affected 

by Barley Grass Seeds. Barley grass is an annual 

grass found throughout the country that sets 

seed in summer. 

The Barley Grass seed is very sneaky. They have a 

sharp point at the end with microscopic barbs present 

on the tail end. When these seeds come into contact with your pets coat, 

they stick to their fur and the pointed end penetrates into the skin and if not 

removed immediately they work their way into deeper tissue and can cause 

a huge range of problems once inside, as they begin to track and move 

around causing tissue to react and leaves a trail of infection in its wake. 

Most common areas: 

The most common area we see on a weekly basis during summer months 

are the barley grass seeds that have worked their way into the skin between 

the toes. Dogs will often start to lick over a toe area or start limping on the 

affected leg. 

Another common problem is when the seeds go down 

your pets ear canals. This is extremely painful and dogs 

will show a very sudden onset of head shaking and 

scratching at their ear, often holding their head to the 

affected side. The more they shake their head the deeper 

down it goes until it hits the ear drum. They can easily 

perforate the ear drum which is extremely painful. So its 

important to get them checked as soon as possible. 

Dogs love to dive head first through long grass. So it’s 

not a surprise that a sudden cause of a painful closed 

eye and a trip to the vet to find a barley grass seed 

undernealth the third eyelid. Owners will notice their 

dog suddenly holding their eye tightly shut and rubbing 

it with their foot. 

Barley Grass can enter skin anywhere on the body, but 

a favourite location to go is under the armpit where 

owners may notice small lump like swellings or hair 

matting over the area. 

If they are swallowed they can cause a huge range of 

problems as they can penetrate any of the tissue from 

the oesophagus through the intestines and migrate 

anywhere in the body ending up in places such as the 

lungs, liver, bladder, and beneath the spine causing 

life threatening infections and abscesses. These are 

particularly tricky to identify and then find. Often 

needing ultrasound to help locate the seed or more 

advanced imaging such as contrast CT. Then it is the 

surgeons hard job to find it! 

Treatment: 

If you suspect your pet has a Barley Grass seed its 

important to visit your vet as soon as possible to prevent 

it migrating further into 

the skin. If found early 

simply removing and 

cleaning the area is 

enough. If it has gone 

deeper into the tissue 

then surgery is indicated 

to go in and remove 

it before it migrates! 

Sometimes they can 

be very tricky to find as 

they cause a lot of tissue 

swelling and reaction. 

So prevention is very 

important. 

Prevention: 

Avoid walking your dog 

through high risk areas in 

the summer time. 

Keep your pets coat clipped short in summer so you can check over areas 

throughly after each walk. 

Keep the hair between your pets toes extra short so you can easily see any 

Barley Grass seeds. 

Remove any seeds as soon as you see them 

Two serious cases 

Although we see a lot of Barley Grass problems. Here are 

two recent patients stories to illustrate how serious these 

tiny seeds can be. 

Coin is a lovely gentle Hunterway who presented with 

a huge swelling underneath his chin. With Dr Richard 

Lucys ultrasound skills we were able to see that there 

was a foreign piece of material within the abscessed 

tissue. Coin was taken to surgery and after some good 

amount of time searching for a ‘needle in a haystack’, we 

were able to find the offending object - it was a Barley 

Grass seed! 

Mia is a gorgeous German Short Haired Pointer who 

presented to us in a very different way. Her owners had 

noticed a strange hard lump that had come up in her 

lumber muscle area. After some initial testing on the 

lump came to the suspicion of a reactive process, we 

took her to ultrasound to investigate. We found that 

under the mass there was a track deep in the tissue 

with connected into her abdominal cavity. This is highly 

suspicious of Barley Grass behaviour. It could have been 

anywhere in her abdomen so we proceeded on to look 

harder and took her to CT. The CT confirmed there was 

a foreign object in her retroperitoneal space (a special 

and very tricky space in her abdomen just under her 

spinal muscle area). And required our surgical specialist 

Dr Helen Milner to go in, try to locate it and remove it. 

Which she did! Mia is one very lucky dog and made a 

complete recovery.

NEWS 13 

Young mother’s determined 

cancer message: ‘It is not my time’ 

Anne Bay has come 

through breast 

cancer and has now 

confronted brain 

tumours. She tells 

her story to reporter 

Samantha Mythen 

“I ALWAYS said I was going to 

see my daughter get married, 

even if they had to chop the 

cancer out of me, bit by bit and 

I just had enough to survive and 

they had to roll me out with just 

my head, I would see her get 

married, no matter what.” 

These are the determined 

words of Anne Bay who has been 

battling incurable cancer for five 

years. 

A year ago she found out her 

stage three breast cancer had 

metastasised to her brain and she 

was told she had just six months 

to live. 

Almost 12 months later, Anne 

received her big miracle. Her 

doctors told her all the cancer 

was gone. 

It took four doctors before 

Anne believed them. 

“I feel incredibly blessed and 

incredibly grateful for all the 

support and love I have received. 

It has probably been what has 

healed me,” she said. 

Doctors say they expect the 

cancer will return. But the mother 

of three young children is 100 

per cent committed to “healing”. 

“If I have to deal with cancer 

again, I will. But I’d prefer not,” 

she said. 

“I do not see myself as a sick 

person, I see myself as a very well 

person. I do believe that I will 

fully heal. It is not my time.” 

After being told her cancer 

had gone Paisley, her six-year-old 

daughter shouted out: “My mum 

is brain cancer-free! Yay!” all day. 

Paisley, was 13-months-old 

when Anne first found the lump 

in her right breast. Anne thought 

it was normal as she was breastfeeding 

and assumed her ducts 

were blocked. 

However, the lump did not go 

away, it grew to 8cm. 

On March 13, 2016, then 29, 

Anne was first diagnosed with 

breast cancer. She said she was 

too young and too healthy for 

cancer. 

Anne immediately started to 

work on healing herself. Pairing 

diet changes with detoxes and 

supplements, infrared saunas 

and cannabis oil. Anne hoped to 

shrink the growth of her cancer. 

Still in the middle of 

breastfeeding, Anne had a 

month to wean Paisley before 

she went through a mastectomy 

in May that year. This removed 

the lump as well as several lymph 

nodes as the cancer had begun to 

spread. 

“They wanted me to do 

chemotherapy straight away 

afterwards but I didn’t feel 

right about it. I asked for the 

percentages and the survival was 

not favourable. 

“I thought, if that is all you’ve 

got to offer me, then I’ve got to 

figure out a way to survive this 

cancer, my daughter is only 13 

months,” Anne said. 

Anne and her family have been 

putting remarkable amounts of 

effort into researching treatment 

options that can help heal her. 

She completed a Research Genetic 

Cancer test which assesses 

what types of cancer treatment 

will be most effective for that 

specific person and their specific 

cancer. 

Anne also went to the Hoxsey 

Biomedical Centre in Mexico 

three times, a clinic which has 

been treating patients with cancer 

for more than 100 years. 

Ben, her husband, said: “The 

medical system here focuses on 

the treatments we have available 

yet there are so many other legit 

options out there. But because 

they are outside the realm of 

TREATMENT: Bay receiving 

her first infusions of 

Herceptin in 2018. 

what oncologists can offer, 

there’s a lack of research and 

resources available to help you 

understand it all.” 

Anne said: “I knew with the 

medical system and your health, 

you had to take control of it 

yourself. You cannot just leave it 

up to doctors or other people to 

be in charge of your health. It has 

to be you, doing the research and 

figuring out what you need.” 

‘I am too healthy, I am too 

well, my spirit is too strong 

and alive to die. I am too 

committed to healing.’ 

- Anne Bay 

Eighteen months from her first 

diagnosis, Anne found out her 

cancer had metastasised and she 

had seven new localised tumours 

in her hip and pelvis, ranging in 

size from 5mm to 15mm. 

She was told her cancer was 

incurable. 

After this, at the beginning 

of 2018, she decided to begin 

chemotherapy and Anne was 

petrified. 

Anne continued with her 

detoxing, organic diet, infrared, 

intravenous vitamin C treatments 

alongside chemotherapy 

and radiotherapy. 

“I really work on intuition and 

what my body needs. I’ve become 

very in tune with myself.” 

The pain from treatments has 

been immense. Anne has experienced 

weeks of nausea, diarrhoea 

with bleeding haemorrhoids, flu 

symptoms and an aching body. 

Her skin became raw and itchy, 

and her mouth was often filled 

with ulcers. She lost her hair. 

“The treatment for cancer is so 

hard on your body. It is a balance 

between killing the cancer and 

yourself,” she said. 

After seven weeks of chemo, at 

the end of 2018, Anne was told 

by doctors there was no cancer 

they could see. 

Three and a half weeks after 

her last chemo session, Anne 

received her second miracle. 

She found out she was pregnant. 

With twins! 

The couple had to decide 

whether to go ahead with the 

pregnancy, Anne’s body still immensely 

weak from chemotherapy. 

It was already extraordinary 

she was pregnant. Diagnosed 

with endometriosis as a teenager, 

she was told she would need to 

have children by 21. Yet along 

came her three children. 

They had decided to go ahead 

with the pregnancy and Ralphie 

and Knoxie were born. 

Anne had done everything she 

could to heal from her cancer. 

She had moved on with her life 

and was busy with motherhood. 

Ben was in his final year of a 

double degree at university. 

But then she started experiencing 

headaches and visual 

disturbances. 

After just finishing breast 

feeding, in March 2020, Anne 

was diganosed with brain cancer, 

three tumours growing in her 

brain which had metastasised 

from her original breast cancer. 

“I turned around to my husband 

when I heard the news and 

said: ‘No. I’ve got brain cancer! 

No’ I felt so shocked but I was 

not surprised.” 

In May, she had invasive brain 

surgery to remove the tumours, 

and started radiotherapy. 

“After being told I had brain

cancer, for the next 

two weeks I watched copious 

amounts of people healing from 

crazy things and I thought, if 

they can do it, I can heal too. 

“I’ve indoctrinated myself that 

healing is easy and very doable. 

The power of the mind is incredible.” 

But more cancer spread 

through the protective membrane 

in her brain. 

“One night after an MRI, I lost 

my cognitive ability. I couldn’t 

read or write, I didn’t even know 

Knoxie’s name. I felt so scared,” 

she said. 

They went straight to the 

emergency department and that 

was when they got the devastating 

prognosis. 

The oncologist told her she had 

six months to live. The cancer 

was spreading too quickly. 

“I thought no, I am too 

healthy, I am too well, my spirit 

is too strong and alive to die. I 

am too committed to healing.” 

Anne had not even made a 

will, so determined to heal, but 

with this final blow, she thought 

she would have to finally prepare 

for her death. 

“Leaving your young children 

is so hard. How do you even 

prepare them?” she said. 

Anne would often tell Paisley: 

“We never know when people 

will die. People can die suddenly 

and that’s why we just value and 

love the people in our life while 

we can.” 

She said: “When I hug my 

children I don’t think about 

losing them as I don’t want to 

pass that fear through to them, I 

try and keep myself in a place of 

pure love.”

Yet even after receiving her 

death sentence, Anne was still 

100 per cent committed to 

healing. 

She said: “I don’t like the 

word fighting, it’s a battle 

word. I feel with cancer it is 

healing you’ve got to do.” 

“My children have been 100 

per cent my motivation.” 


IN JUST 14 days, skate 

enthusiasts of Sumner put in 

more than 200 hours of work 

to refurbish the community 

skate ramp. 

It was a team effort. 

Damian Doyle, Phil Elmey 

and Trevor Hone carried out 

the specialist work, including 

applying a new Gator Skins 

surface, constructing a ply sub 

surface, replacing damaged 

woodwork, and installing 

larger coping for better grips 

and tricks. 

More than 25 volunteers 

helped with repainting, and 

tidying the space up for its 

opening again. Local businesses 

donated food and refreshments 

to the workers.

book about her journey alongside 

starting an organisation 

that offers practical support

OPINION 


Team effort to look after seafarers 

IT’S A privilege to write this 

column, my first, in the Bay 

Harbour News as your local MP. 

Our community newspapers 

are a big part of our local areas 

and they do a great job of 

covering our local issues. 

It would be remiss of me not to 

pay tribute to the outgoing MP 

for Port Hills, Ruth Dyson. I’ve 

been told many times that I have 

big shoes to fill, and while this is 

indeed true, it became clear as 

I knocked on doors throughout 

the electorate that it was not so 

much shoes but hearts that were 

full. 

One thing Ruth was always 

known for was her excellent 

constituency work, and I won’t 

be letting that slip. 

My office is at 642 Ferry Rd, 

you can reach me by email 

at Tracey.McLellanMP@ 

parliament.govt.nz, and my 

phone number is 376 4512 – 

please don’t hesitate to reach out 

and get in touch. 

The Government has 

announced we will be fixing a 

problem that the Bay Harbour 

News has brought attention to – 

how we support seafarer welfare 

centres. 

Lyttelton has always been a 

hospitable place that provides a 

warm welcome to the seafarers 

who visit our port. They come 

from all over the world and often 

work in tough conditions – but 

when they’re in our community 

they are welcome. 

Here in Lyttelton, the 

Seafarers’ Centre does amazing 

work. But the volunteers who 

provide that warm welcome we 

are all proud of haven’t always 

Tracey McLellan 

Member of Parliament Banks Peninsula 

had the best support. 

They’ve had to rely on 

short-term grants and charitable 

donations. The Government 

will change that by allowing 

maritime levies to be raised 

on shipping to fund these 

services. 

Addressing this issue has 

been a real team effort from the 

Lyttelton community. 

John McLister has been a 

leader here and nationally 

in delivering these services, 

while Lyttelton Community 

Board members Tyrone Fields 

and Reuben Davidson have 

advocated for this change, 

getting a petition out there and 

getting in the ear of MPs and 

ministers – and it’s paid off. 

Like Tyrone always says, it’s 

all about manaakitanga – our 

hospitality. 

FUNDING: The Government 

will provide funding to 

national seafarer welfare 

centres, including the 

Lyttelton Seafarers Centre. 

ESTUARY MATTERS 

Squatters’ village now prime real estate 

The Avon- 

Heathcote 

Estuary Ihutai 

Trust is a 

non-profit 

organisation 

formed 

to protect 

one of New 

Zealand’s most important 

coastal wetlands. Each 

week, board members 

will discuss matters 

regarding the estuary, 

its rich history and what 

makes it unique. This 

week Bill Simpson writes 

about the history of 

Beachville 

It wasn’t long ago that some of 

the most highly-priced real estate 

in Christchurch was a squatters’ 

village. 

We call it Beachville now and 

the views over the estuary and 

the mountains are magnificent. 

The first European settlers 

there were squatters, a bunch 

of happy fishermen, content to 

build shacks and while away 

their time enjoying the view, a 

tipple or three and each other’s 

company no doubt. 

In reality, they provided 

Christchurch with a constant 

supply of fish. 

Patiki (flounder) were once 

abundant here; the area was 

actually known as Waipatiki 

(flounder water). 

Up until the 1930s Fisherman’s 

Flat was a bustling village, with 

a wide beach where both cockles 

and shrimp were abundant, and 

mudflats where residents could 

spear flounders and eels. 

Redcliffs shrimps were considered 

a delicacy and were sent 

throughout the country. But the 

wide, shallow beach was filled in 

NATURAL: Thousands of dead krill recently turned 

Southshore beach pink. According to reports the same 

thing happened in 1898. 

PHOTOS: MARGARET ELLINGFORD 

when a seawall was built in the 

1930s, and a nearby sewage outlet 

spelt the eventual end of the 

shrimp fishery and safe shellfish 

harvesting. 

Earlier this year large amounts 

of krill were washed into the 

estuary and the water edge along 

Southshore opposite Beachville 

turned red. 

An early account reports the 

same thing happening in 1898. 

In May that year, the beaches at 

Fishermans Flat were covered 

with what was called “whale 

food” and then, as happened this 

year, the foreshore was said to be 

painted red. 

It is fascinating to note that 

this land we now call Beachville 

was part of a parcel of land 

bought by William Moorhouse 

and his brothers just after they 

arrived in Christchurch in 1851. 

Moorhouse became 

a superintendent of the 

Canterbury Provincial 

Government and was the 

champion of the Lyttelton rail 

tunnel which opened in 1867. 

The land passed out of the 

hands of the Moorhouses in 

1877. Later, in 1895, it was subdivided 

into 96 sections. 

But it seems that it took many 

years before permanent houses 

were built there. In the meantime 

the squatting fishermen 

built their huts and enjoyed free 

rent.

Sea2Sky toughest yet tests participants 

THE BRAD Richards Building 

Sea2Sky Challenge 2021 in 

Sumner will go down in history 

books as one of the toughest 

years to date. 

About 400 participants lined 

up on Sunday to test themselves 

with a swim at Scarborough, a 

ride to the top of the Port Hills 

and a trail run along Godley 

Head and Scarborough trails. 

Big surf and very choppy seas 

resulted in a shortened swim leg 

but New Zealand’s triathlon stars 

showed their calibre with former 

world under 23 champion Tayler 

Reid (Gisborne) coming out of 

the water first while Ainsley 

Thorpe (Cambridge) led the 

women’s field. 

Reid was caught on the bike by 

youth Olympic champion Dylan 

McCullough but Reid once 

again dominated on the run and 

pushed hard to the finish. 

Fellow New Zealand elite 

squad teammate Saxon Ward 

caught McCullough on the brutal 

run; the steep climbs and steps 

brought a lot of competitors to a 

walking pace. 

“My goal is to run the fastest 

goal split,” said a thrilled but 

exhausted Reid. 

“The uphill’s were hard on the 

heart, but the downhills killed 

my legs, but I loved it.” 

The stellar women’s line up saw 

Ainsley Thorpe, Sophie Corbidge 

and Brea Roderick go head to 

head with Thorpe leading from 

start to finish. 

“That run course; I didn’t know 

if I was going to make it,” said 

Thorpe. 

“I should have done it before, 

as I didn’t have enough nutrition 

and it took longer than I 

expected. I started walking on 

the stairs and I thought oh my 

god, Sophie’s going to catch me. 

But the spectators and volunteers 

were telling me, “You just have 

downhill to go now”. 

Oldest competitor and 

Christchurch triathlon legend 

John Gordon at 81 came out on 

force, as well as three women in 

the 70 to 79-years-old category for 

the full challenge duathlon, showing 

that age is just a number.

All charged up over plug-in Mini Cooper 

I’VE NEVER owned a Mini, 

but my wife still talks about her 

classic three-door with much 

affection. 

It was an original 60s 

Morris Mini-Minor 850 that had 

travelled more than 60,000 miles 

when she bought it, however, it 

gave her unfaltering service for 

many years. 

My wife is a bit ambivalent 

about the new generation Mini, 

she’s not convinced it’s true to the 

concept of old, but she is excited 

about the latest addition to the 

line-up – a fully electric/plug-in 

Mini. 

We had the $59,900 Mini 

Cooper SE – E for electric – 

during four week days and looked 

at the model as many would – an 

urban commute. For that role it is 

everything you would want from 

today’s electric vehicle and, what’s 

more, it has range, BMW claims a 

233km distance between charges, 

that’s at best usage. 

During our time with the 

evaluation car, the discharge 

graphic was true to the type of 

use I presented it with, easily 

completing our weekly commute 

without charging. Of course, you 

can add charge at any point, but

If you're searching for a hillside abode that you 

simply cannot wait to get home too, you may 

have just found it. 

Unobstructed views over the stunning local 

surrounds, and across to the city, expansive 

and flexible living spaces, a kitchen that will 

impress and outdoor entertaining that will be 

the envy of many - it's all here. 

Nestled away from the easterly in Heathcote's 

noted microclimate, this home certainly has 

some wow factor. Floor to ceiling windows 

greet you in the living spaces and one cannot 

help but be drawn to the picturesque outlook. 

Stacking sliders from both kitchen and living 

connect the indoors with the louvred outdoor 

area seamlessly. Picture yourself enjoying an 

afternoon or evening drink as children, 

friends and family create forever memories in 

the pool area. 

In the cooler months, a separate media room 

offers a children's retreat and ensures the flexibility 

today's family yearns is more than covered. 

The accommodations are located on the upper 

level with three large bedrooms and family 

bathroom complementing a master suite 

for the benefit of the batteries 

letting them complete a full cycle, 

a slow charge is best. However, 

when the need arises it will take 

36min to quick charge to 80 per 

cent. 

It’s fair to say I get anxious 

about range, I’m the type of driver 

who likes to have a full tank, but 

the EV Mini didn’t discharge as 

quickly as I was expecting it to, 

I’m picking that’s a lot to do with 

its smallish stature and lack of 

weight in the car. At 1365kg, it’s 

only around 150kg heavier than 

its petrol-engined counterparts, 

the motor isn’t working hard, 

consequently, there is less battery 

drain. 

Yes, the EV Mini is small at 

under 4m, and with just two side 

doors it represents the values 

of old. It’s a squeeze accessing 

the rear seats, and once in there 

there’s only room for two, there 

are only two seat belts and that’s 

the end of story. Also, with just 

211-litres of cargo storage, those 

who do travel will have to travel 

light, the boot space wouldn’t 

house a Kiddie-family weekly 

grocery shop. 

However, the $59,990 Cooper 

SE is all about the values that 

you will fall in love with. Breakfast in bed is 

something special here. 

Beyond the WOW aspects of the home, the 

functionality is right on point. Separate laundry 

with outdoor access, excellent storage up and 

down, triple garaging, a quiet study space tucked 

away from the living areas (perfect for a quiet 

work from home option) and established gardens 

and surrounds, simply move in and enjoy. 

My owners have truly loved their time here, but 

have now moved on - it's time you took advantage!

MINI COOPER SE: Fully electric with plug-in recharging. 

people want in this age where 

EVs are being touted as the 

way of the future in automobile 

production, it’s a useful addition 

to the part of the market where 

EV purchases satisfy those 

who feel they need to be doing 

something for the environment. 

As an aside, the 2020 New 

Zealand Motoring Writers’ 

Guild car of the year award went 

to an EV – Mercedes-Benz’s EQC 

400 sport utility vehicle to be 

exact. 

The Mini electric is also strong 

from beneath the accelerator. The 

motor is rated at 135kW with 

270Nm of torque available from 

a zero point. From a standstill 

it will reach 100km/h in 7.3sec 

and will complete an overtaking 

manoeuvre (80-120km/h) in 

4.8sec. 

These are quick figures, and 

are indicative of the flow of 

energy you get from battery 

power. With that you get a feelgood 

factor from behind the 

wheel, it is lively and encourages 

a spirited drive. 

I also completed a highway 

loop in the evaluation car and 

enjoyed its athleticism and 

immediate flow of power. It 

also handles much like the 

Cooper S of old, it is balanced 

and tight in the chassis, it turns 

directly into a corner and will 

flow through a corner with 

control and dignity. 

True to its original design, 

drive is sent to the front wheels, 

yet it doesn’t make that obvious, 

the cornering feel is neutral and 

the suspension is set up well for 

placement. High quality Good 

Year Eagle F1 tyres also help, at 

205/45 x 17in there is a lot of 

rubber on the surface and those 

tyres feel delightful, I have them 

on my own car and I relate to 

their characteristics. 

• Price – Mini Cooper SE, 

$59,990 

• Dimensions – Length,

• Configuration – Electrosynchronous 

motor,

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 7.3sec 

There’s been a lot of hype lately 

about the longevity of electric 

vehicles and the cost of battery 

replacement. 

I’m pleased to report that 

the EV Mini has an eight-year 

battery warranty. That’s most 

reassuring, and during that time 

the car will give you a lot of 

satisfaction. 

There are some compromises 

space-wise, but for two adults 

on a daily basis it is a car which 

competes well with the multitude 

of electric-only models that are 

reaching our shores. 

The Cooper SE is smart and 

has all the bling that BMW has 

built into the Mini since it took 

ownership of the brand, it tempts 

with its level of specification and 

safety elements, and that’s most 

definitely a must for 2021. 

It’s also a car for the Mini 

purist, and for those who, 

like my wife, still relate to the 

cheeky Sir Alec Issigonis design 

that took the world by storm in 

1959.

Have your say 

Our Long Term Plan 2021–31 is our game plan for how, and what, we plan 

to spend over the next 10 years. 

We want you to have a say on what we should focus on. Have we got it right? 

This budget is a turning point for Christchurch and Banks Peninsula and we’re investing in our 

future. We’re focusing on delivering the basics and doing it better – water, roads and transport 

– while keeping rates increases affordable. This comes at a time when we’re responding and 

adapting to climate change and COVID-19. 

You can see our main proposals over the page, and how to have your say on the back. 

ccc.govt.nz/longtermplan

Investing in our future 

Our budget for the next 10 years 

COVID-19 has had a major impact on our finances. Like many households, we’ve made – and will continue to 

make – savings to our day-to-day spending. And with ongoing growth, we need the right infrastructure in the 

right place at the right time to support it. 

We’ve thought about what you’ve told us is important to you – delivering the basics and doing it better – and 

what we need to do to continue making progress. 

Our $13.1 billion budget 

We’re proposing a $13.1 billion budget over 10 years. We’ve 

set our core spending on infrastructure and facilities at 

$1.26 billion for the first three years of our Long Term Plan, 

ensuring we can do all the work we want to deliver in the 

timeframe we’ve set. By locking this in, we’re giving certainty 

to the construction and other sectors, and stimulating 

economic activity. 

Day-to-day spending 

We’re proposing to spend $5.6 billion on day-to-day services 

the Council provides over the next 10 years. We’ve identified 

savings of $52 million to these operational costs – $18 million 

in this financial year alone, and additional savings of 

$34 million in 2021/22. Over the whole period of the 

Long Term Plan, we’re proposing to save $329 million of 

operating costs. 

Investing in the basics 

In the first three years this Long Term Plan, we’re particularly 

focused on investing in our roads and water – two of the 

issues we hear about most from the community. We’re 

proposing to spend more on maintaining and improving the 

condition of our existing roads, footpaths and cycleways, and 

protecting and upgrading our water networks. 

Rates increase 

We’re aiming to keep rates rises as affordable and sustainable 

as possible. Your rates help us pay for all the services that 

keep our city running – for example, your water, your 

sewerage, your roads and your kerbside collection. We’re 

proposing a residential rates increase of 5% for an averagevalued 

house ($508,608) for the 2021/22 financial year. This 

comes to an extra $142.25 a year or $2.74 a week. Over the 

10 years, the average annual rates increase for all ratepayers 

will be 4%. The cumulative rates increase over the 10 years 

will be 47.8%. 

Changes to how we rate 

We’re proposing some new targeted rates. These include an 

excess water charge for households that use significantly more 

water than the average, a heritage targeted rate to show more 

clearly the proportion of your rates that you already pay towards 

specific heritage projects, and a targeted rate to help towards the 

Arts Centre Te Matatiki Toi Ora’s restoration. We’re also proposing 

some changes to existing rates such as expanding our land 

drainage targeted rate to include all ratepayers, and changes to 

who’s eligible for rates remissions. 

Sharing costs $722.6 million 

We’re proposing contributing to projects that are being delivered 

and/or partly funded by the Government and others: the 

Canterbury Multi-Use Arena, Metro Sports Facility, the Ōtākaro 

Avon River Corridor programme, and more.

Other main proposals 

Water $2.3 billion 

We’re proposing to invest 41% of our capital spend on protecting 

and upgrading our drinking water, stormwater and wastewater 

networks. We’re also proposing to charge an excess water 

use targeted rate for households that use significantly more 

water than the average household. This charge would apply 

if a household used more than 700 litres a day – the average 

household uses 540 litres a day. 

Our roads and footpaths 

$551.8 million 

We’re proposing investing in upgrading roads, footpaths and 

road infrastructure over the next 10 years. For the first three 

years of our Long Term Plan we propose to spend $18.3 million 

a year on road resurfacing – we’ll resurface a total of 5.3% of the 

city’s roads, up from the current 2%. This funding will increase to 

nearly $20 million a year from the fourth year. This means it will 

take 10 years to get streets back to a state that compares with the 

national average, rather than 20 years. 

Transport $834 million 

We want to give people better and safer options for getting 

around, whether by car, public transport, on foot or on a bike 

or scooter. We’re proposing to invest $834 million on these 

improvements over the next 10 years. 

Climate change 

Together we can reduce our emissions and prepare for the 

opportunities and challenges presented by climate change. 

A key focus of our Long Term Plan is reducing emissions by 

making changes to the way we travel, the waste we create and 

the energy we use. The Council has also developed a Draft 

Ōtautahi Christchurch Climate Change Strategy, which is out for 

feedback until Sunday 25 April 2021. 

Ōtākaro Avon River 

Corridor $316 million 

Regenerating the 602-hectare Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor is 

a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create a legacy that benefits 

future generations. We’re proposing investing in its regeneration, 

including the City to Sea Pathway, ecological restoration, cultural 

and recreational facilities, and the Pages Road bridge. 

Facilities we’re building 

$550.3 million 

We propose spending $550.3 million, with a further 

$197.7 million coming from the Government, on new facilities 

over the next 10 years. This includes Te Pou Toetoe: Linwood 

Pool, the new Hornby facility, the Performing Arts Precinct, the 

Canterbury Multi-Use Arena, Metro Sports Facility, and more. 

Heritage $57 million 

Over the past decade, we’ve carried out a massive programme 

of repairs and restorations, but we still have some work left to do. 

In the next 10 years we’ll continue to restore our own buildings 

and support private development of heritage buildings. These 

include the Old Municipal Chambers (former Our City O-Tautahi), 

Cuningham House in the Christchurch Botanic Gardens and the 

Lancaster Park Memorial Gates. We’re also consulting on funding 

the base isolation of the Robert McDougall Art Gallery, behind 

Canterbury Museum. 

Parks and foreshore 

$575 million 

In the next 10 years we’ll maintain and improve our parks and 

foreshore. We propose spending $515 million on parks and 

$60 million on foreshore. A total of 39% of planned spending is 

on new developments and upgrades while most of the funding 

(61%) is on upgrading what we already have as it reaches the 

end of its life. Key projects include continuing the development 

of Ngā Puna Wai Sports Hub, upgrading our sports fields, and 

reopening Lancaster Park for public use. 

Changes to our services 

We’re proposing a few changes to the opening hours at our 

libraries and at Christchurch Art Gallery. We’ve looked at when 

they’re at their busiest and when we can reduce opening hours 

with minimal impact. We’re proposing to close the service desks 

at Akaroa and Lyttelton, which are no longer busy with more 

people new choosing to use our phone and online services. 

We’re also proposing closing the Riccarton Road Bus Lounges. 

Fees and charges 

We’re proposing to change some Council fees and charges. 

In most cases they’ll add less than a dollar or two to the 

amount paid, and reflect increased costs or inflation.

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.
