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
• By Samantha Mythen
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

ISSUE: KiwiRail has agreed to keep train speed through

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.

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...

• By Samantha Mythen
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.

The red zone, along Sumner’s

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

the “long or strong, get gone,”
messaging, and to also check
on their neighbours before they

New app
tells stories
of port
• By Samantha Mythen
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.

Graffiti will finally be removed
• By Samantha Mythen
THE DARK and apocalyptic
graffiti poem on a wall at
Lyttelton Primary School will
be removed but residents want a
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
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
CONTENTIOUS: Graffiti on a wall near Lyttelton Primary
School.
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
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.

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.

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
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
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.

“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.

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.”

IN JUST 14 days, skate

OPINION
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
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
REAL ESTATE
Ultimate Hillside Lifestyle!
4 Morgans Valley, Heathcote
(Unless
Auction: Wed 24 March
Sold Prior)
4 bedrooms 2 bathrooms 2 livingrooms 1 study
1 dining room swimming pool 3 car garage,
3 off street parks - Listing no. HR8838
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,
3845mm; width, 1727mm;
height, 1432mm
• Configuration – Electrosynchronous
motor,
135kW, 270Nm, automatic
• 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.

the next 10 years?

Contemporary Nostalgia - Final week

3 bedrooms, 2 living, 1 bathroom, 2 car garaging
AUCTION
FINAL WEEK
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.
