Parked cars make access<br />

for fire appliances difficult<br />

• By Samantha Mythen<br />

CARS PARKING illegally and<br />

in positions making Lyttelton’s<br />

narrow streets even narrower<br />

are preventing fire appliances<br />

from reaching call-outs, delaying<br />

firefighting efforts.<br />

The Lyttelton Volunteer Fire<br />

Brigade want people to think<br />

more about where and how they<br />

park after a car was parked over<br />

a hydrant near a house fire they<br />

attended.<br />

“Cars are<br />

parking around<br />

Lyttelton and<br />

it’s hindering<br />

our access,”<br />

chief fire officer<br />

Mark Buckley<br />

said.<br />

“And it’s only<br />

Mark Buckley getting worse,<br />

not better.”<br />

Last Thursday, the brigade<br />

attended a house fire on Cressy St<br />

at 1.40pm.<br />

The sole male occupant escaped<br />

from the house and was treated<br />

for smoke inhalation at the scene.<br />

“It was as good of an outcome<br />

as could possibly be,” Buckley<br />

said.<br />

TIGHT SQUEEZE: The Lyttelton Volunteer Fire Brigade is finding it increasingly harder to navigate its fire appliances<br />

along Lyttelton’s narrow streets often because of parked cars. Cunningham Tce is one that is difficult.<br />

On pages 6, 7 and 8, reporter<br />

The dippers are cold water<br />

“The shock of the cold water<br />

is meant to do good things,”<br />

says Kerry.<br />

“Plus, it’s meant to be good<br />

for mental health. There’s been<br />

quite a few stories of people<br />

that have had depression and<br />

things like that, they immerse<br />

themselves in the cold water<br />

their antidepressants.”<br />

Fire concerns yet to be addressed<br />

NEWS 3<br />

In Brief<br />

• By Samantha Mythen<br />

FOSTER AND Gilmore Tce<br />

residents in Lyttelton are<br />

concerned about the lack of<br />

progress to address their unease<br />

about the fire risk in Urumau<br />

Reserve, which borders their<br />

homes.<br />

Said neighbouring resident<br />

Nick Jackman: “Who is responsible<br />

and taking control? There<br />

has been no clear authority at<br />

the moment on what is going<br />

on.”<br />

Jackman originally took the<br />

residents’ concerns to the Banks<br />

Peninsula Community Board’s<br />

attention at the beginning of<br />

March.<br />

As a result, the board raised<br />

these issues with the city council,<br />

including the parks team<br />

and requested a report on the<br />

matter to come back to it.<br />

Almost five months later and<br />

the residents have not yet seen<br />

an outcome to their concerns.<br />

The city council told <strong>Bay</strong><br />

<strong>Harbour</strong> News a report<br />

regarding the reserve is<br />

scheduled to go to the<br />

community board at an<br />

upcoming meeting. The date<br />

has yet to be confirmed nor can<br />

the city council reveal the staff’s<br />

recommendations.<br />

Brian Lodge, another Foster<br />

Tce resident spoke to the city<br />

council about the residents’<br />

ACTION NOW: Nick Jackman wants his home protected<br />

from the fire risk presented by Urumau Reserve.<br />

concerns in May.<br />

“Most of the councillors were<br />

very supportive, including the<br />

mayor who said we had to do<br />

something about fire prevention,<br />

particularly after the Cass <strong>Bay</strong><br />

fire,” he said.<br />

“But bureaucracy means it<br />

takes a long time for things to<br />

occur.”<br />

Lodge said their main concern<br />

was that the Reserve Management<br />

Committee had planted a<br />

native belt right on the boundary<br />

of the reserve right next to<br />

their homes.<br />

“There’s also gorse, dead flax<br />

leaves and long grass where the<br />

natives are not maintained well,”<br />

he said.<br />

“We might as well pour petrol<br />

underneath it.”<br />

Residents have struggled to get<br />

answers from the RMC.<br />

“When it comes up at the<br />

RMC it is not talked about much<br />

and it seems that because it is<br />

winter, there is no need to do<br />

anything now. There’s a put-off<br />

until spring or summer attitude,”<br />

Lodge said.<br />

“But we don’t want to wait, we<br />

want this done now.”<br />

Nick Jackman said he and<br />

other concerned Foster Tce<br />

residents had provided the RMC<br />

with a list of the things they<br />

have found to be “not the best<br />

practice” according to Scion Fire<br />

and Emergency New Zealand<br />

•HAVE YOUR SAY: Has<br />

enough been done to<br />

address resident’s fire<br />

risk concerns in Urumau<br />

Reserve? Email samantha.<br />

mythen@starmedia.kiwi<br />

forest fire management guidelines.<br />

“But there has been no followup<br />

from them on what they are<br />

doing to address this,” Jackman<br />

said.<br />

He believes the whole issue is<br />

being made more complicated<br />

than it really is.<br />

“There are pamphlets published<br />

for the general public<br />

about how to mitigate fire<br />

risk with the should do and<br />

shouldn’t dos, which take five<br />

minutes to read,” Jackman said.<br />

Said RMC chairman Brian<br />

Downey: “Our fire management<br />

on the reserve follows the Urumau<br />

Development plan, which<br />

is dictated by the community<br />

board. We are doing the best we<br />

can.”<br />

Banks Peninsula councillor<br />

and Deputy Mayor Andrew<br />

Turner said the community<br />

board needed to hear back from<br />

experts including park rangers<br />

and Fire and Emergency New<br />

Zealand.<br />

“It is about coming up with<br />

a solution that everyone can<br />

understand,” he said.<br />

PROTECTION FOR DOCK<br />

The Lyttelton Port Company<br />

has recently installed new edge<br />

protection around its historic dry<br />

dock. The dock, opened in 1883,<br />

is listed as a Category 1 heritage<br />

site and now features 3m long<br />

removable sections of railing<br />

installed around the edge.<br />

MOUNTAIN BIKE TRACK<br />

THe Heathcote Valley Mountain<br />

Biking club held their second<br />

winter dig event and saw another<br />

30m² of soil added to the existing<br />

jump mounds. The group has a<br />

goal of planting 1000 natives and<br />

has three more winter working<br />

bees planned each second Sunday<br />

of the month throughout winter.<br />

BUILDING BLESSED<br />

THe old Coastguard Canterbury<br />

base at Naval Point has been<br />

blessed by Te Hapū o Ngāti<br />

Wheke ahead of its demolition<br />

that will make room for SailGP<br />

facilities, and a new temporary<br />

base building for the coastguard.<br />

PLANTING EVENTS<br />

Volunteers have completed<br />

planting 50 per cent of a 300m x<br />

10m “green fire break” in Drayton<br />

Reserve after a fire devastated the<br />

area in January. Planting events<br />

will continue throughout <strong>July</strong>.<br />

THIS IS what the widened<br />

Dyers Pass Rd is looking like<br />

in a bid to make it safer for<br />

motorists and cyclists.<br />

Up to 1.25m is being added to<br />

the width of the narrowest parts<br />

of the road.<br />

Dyers Pass Rd is only about<br />

5.5 to 6m wide in many areas.<br />

Contractors Higgins Construction<br />

is working on behalf of city<br />

council to increase the width of<br />

the road to a consistent 6.75m.<br />

“The additional road shoulder<br />

width is expected to improve<br />

everyone’s safety and reduce<br />

conflict between road users,”<br />

said city council acting head of<br />

transport Lynette Ellis.<br />

The road widening work<br />

is part of a $7.2 million project<br />

to improve the safety of the<br />

road that has had a high crash<br />

rate.<br />

“The steep terrain means that<br />

when crashes do happen, they<br />

often result in severe injuries so<br />

in addition to widening the road<br />

we are installing guardrails in<br />

high-risk locations. This should<br />

The fire affected the kitchen<br />

and a bedroom and was contained<br />

by about 3pm.<br />

However, a car parked over the<br />

nearest fire hydrant to the house<br />

hampered firefighting efforts.<br />

This is a theme Buckley said his<br />

team are increasingly seeing in<br />

Lyttelton, with cars either parking<br />

over fire hydrants or parking<br />

in obtrusive positions.<br />

He wants people to be aware<br />

and think about where and how<br />

they park.<br />

The appliances are much bigger<br />

than cars and already struggle<br />

to navigate Lyttelton’s narrow<br />

streets without cars making it<br />

more difficult.<br />

“We are dealing with life or<br />

death situations and if we can’t<br />

get our appliances close enough<br />

to the fire, it is taking our tanks<br />

longer to get to the house and<br />

taking longer to rescue people,”<br />

he said.<br />

Cunningham Tce and Reserve<br />

Tce are the worst streets to travel<br />

along he said.<br />

“Cars are parked in positions<br />

on corners or opposite cars on<br />

the other side of the road making<br />

narrow streets even narrower,”<br />

said Buckley.<br />

“We need people to really be<br />

thinking about how appliances<br />

are bigger than cars because right<br />

Call for drivers to be<br />

DAMAGED: The house that<br />

caught fire last Thursday.<br />

There have been several instances<br />

where the fire appliance<br />

has got stuck on Cunningham<br />

Tce between a fence and car<br />

and they were unable to reach a<br />

house.<br />

Buckley said they do not<br />

to ticket those who are illegally<br />

parking, rather they want people<br />

to take some responsibility on<br />

where they park.<br />

A fire investigator is still determining<br />

the cause of the fire on<br />

Thursday. There were no smoke<br />

alarms in the house at the time of<br />

the fire.<br />

Fire risk management officer<br />

Wayne Hamilton echoed<br />

Buckley’s sentiments: “It is a<br />

reminder for people, especially in<br />

Lyttelton, to check first and not<br />

park in front of hydrants.”<br />

OUR PEOPLE – KERRY NEWTON<br />

Taking the daily plunge – a chilly<br />

It’s the polar opposite<br />

of Dry <strong>July</strong>. A group<br />

of hardy souls have<br />

committed to taking a<br />

daily dip off Scarborough<br />

Beach every day this<br />

month before dawn.<br />

Chris Barclay goes<br />

in-depth with Sumnerbased<br />

ocean swimmer<br />

Kerry Newton dreamt<br />

up Wet <strong>July</strong> in 2017, a<br />

fundraising concept with<br />

complementary health<br />

benefits<br />

Wet <strong>July</strong>. Talk us through<br />

why you tipped your toes into<br />

fund-raising cold, hard cash in<br />

the middle of winter.<br />

I’ve always been a keen ocean<br />

swimmer. It was a beautiful<br />

winter’s day in <strong>July</strong>, 2017 and I<br />

thought: ‘Look at that water out<br />

there’. Wouldn’t it be good to<br />

be actually enjoying the water<br />

during the winter when it’s a<br />

southerly? It’s calm and it looks<br />

so inviting. (Alcohol-free) Dry<br />

<strong>July</strong>, the fundraising was going<br />

on for that and I thought: ‘Why<br />

don’t I set the challenge of Wet<br />

<strong>July</strong>?’ I’ll see who else wants to<br />

join me going into the water<br />

every day in <strong>July</strong> and we’ll find<br />

a charity to raise money for …<br />

that’s how it all began. I got three<br />

other people to sign up with me<br />

(Sandra Taylor, Bee Rueder and<br />

Cathe Grater). We raised money<br />

for (marine rescue organisation)<br />

Project Jonah New Zealand. As<br />

time’s gone on more and more<br />

people have embraced it. We’ve<br />

got about 40 committed to<br />

dipping this year. We’ve got a few<br />

in their 20s and a couple close to<br />

80 years-old. It’s predominantly<br />

female.<br />

We’re a fortnight into Wet<br />

mercury reads 0, there’s a wind<br />

it’s dark for another hour or<br />

so? The perfect storm. Ever<br />

considered staying in the car or<br />

jumping ship after 20 seconds?<br />

Not really, because it gets<br />

addictive. Sometimes it’s actually<br />

warmer in the water, especially if<br />

there’s a frost or you’ve got that<br />

southerly. Admittedly it’s not<br />

much fun when the tide is out<br />

and you’ve got to walk across the<br />

sand with the southerly howling<br />

at us.<br />

So how long do you ‘dip’ for?<br />

It was all kind of trial and<br />

error at the start. We used to<br />

get in the water, chat and laugh<br />

and bob about. Then we decided<br />

maybe we should try and stay in<br />

for the number of minutes that<br />

corresponds to the temperature.<br />

We have a thermometer. If it’s 10<br />

degrees, we stay in 10 minutes.<br />

We have no rules that we must<br />

stay in for 10 minutes and things<br />

like that, that just became a<br />

bit more of a challenge. Some<br />

people have found if they stay in<br />

for 10 minutes they’re cold for<br />

the rest of the day. Some people<br />

might stay in for five and get out.<br />

Sometimes we’re busy chatting<br />

or whatever and we end up<br />

staying in for longer.<br />

7<br />

way to raise money for charities<br />

What do you talk about? Are<br />

the teeth chattering?<br />

We have all sorts of<br />

conversations out there. You<br />

tend to find that while you’re in<br />

the water it’s not too bad. Maybe<br />

about 10 minutes after you get<br />

out your body temperature<br />

actually cools down, that’s the<br />

danger of staying in too long.<br />

That’s why you’ve got to know<br />

your own body and not stay out<br />

there too long.<br />

What’s the temperature<br />

variance during <strong>July</strong>?<br />

‘Hypothermic’ to ‘penguins<br />

wouldn’t swim in this?’<br />

In the past it has been as low as<br />

8 deg C, at the moment it’s about<br />

10.<br />

Has anyone ever got out of<br />

their depth with the likes of<br />

hypothermia?<br />

So far we’ve been lucky. You<br />

will notice your fingertips are<br />

white and things like that. So far<br />

we haven’t had anything extreme<br />

happen but now we’re more<br />

numbers we have to be a little bit<br />

careful getting in if it’s rough.<br />

The benefit of Scarborough is it’s<br />

normally pretty okay. When it’s<br />

high tide and if there’s a wind<br />

blowing and you’re getting down<br />

the steps … sometimes we might<br />

say it’s a bit rough here, let’s go<br />

down the beach a bit. We have to<br />

be careful with the age range and<br />

HARDY SOULS: Members of the Scarborough Dippers brace themselves for another chilly<br />

Wet <strong>July</strong> exercise.<br />

the people that we’ve got.<br />

How far do you venture from<br />

shore?<br />

We go out until we’re waistdeep.<br />

Our loose rules are we’ve<br />

got to get our head under. By the<br />

end of it we’ve kind of had to dive<br />

under, be fully immersed, then<br />

we get out.<br />

Do you encounter much<br />

marine life?<br />

We often get bitten by crabs.<br />

We’ve seen hector’s dolphins a<br />

few times, at the moment there<br />

are quite a few seals about. It’s<br />

dark when we get in so often we<br />

won’t see things . . . then a shag<br />

will pop its head up amongst the<br />

group. If we wake the seagulls up<br />

sometimes they dive bomb us.<br />

Is there a frantic dash for the<br />

towels and puffer jackets when<br />

time is up? How do you ward off<br />

the cold?<br />

We have hot water bottles,<br />

buckets of hot water to put our<br />

feet in for a couple of minutes.<br />

The beauty of it now is the cafe<br />

at Scarborough Fare opens at 7<br />

o’clock. It didn’t use to open until<br />

8. We don’t go in there every day<br />

but they put the heat pump on for<br />

us and we’re all in there with the<br />

buckets (of hot water).<br />

What happens if a committed<br />

dipper can’t make it to<br />

Scarborough for a day or two?<br />

Is there a degree of flexibility<br />

built in?<br />

I’m a prime example, I’ve just<br />

been up in the North Island for<br />

a few days. I had to go dipping<br />

up there. There was a swim race<br />

at Waiheke Island, a few of us<br />

were competing in that so we<br />

had the luxury of dipping in<br />

about 15 degrees. We’ve got this<br />

facebook page and every day we<br />

have a group photo of what day<br />

number we’re up to and anybody<br />

that’s not there, they have to do<br />

dipping somewhere else and<br />

provide a photo. You might have<br />

to find a lake or a river. It’s quite<br />

interesting where people end up.<br />

The other day a couple had an<br />

early yoga class so they had to<br />

dip in an ice bath. Basically it’s<br />

7am every morning, but on the<br />

weekend we dip (or float) a bit<br />

later.<br />

Do dippers try to bend the<br />

rules. Do the hot pools at<br />

Hanmer Springs or Waiwera<br />

count?<br />

No, we can’t have cheating.<br />

What about wetsuits? Do they<br />

fit the Wet <strong>July</strong> image or are<br />

they a bad look?<br />

We haven’t had anyone one yet<br />

that’s gone to that extreme. We<br />

wouldn’t not let them wear one.<br />

We’re just happy to wear togs.<br />

What organisations have<br />

benefited from the dippers’<br />

fortitude?<br />

Project Jonah was the first,<br />

they basically rescue whales.<br />

The second year we raised funds<br />

for the Sumner Lifeboat Club,<br />

they bought a defibrillator. In<br />

2019 we raised money for solar<br />

lights to be put up at Cave Rock,<br />

unfortunately that project hasn’t<br />

really happened. The money’s<br />

still sitting there. Last year the<br />

funds were split between the<br />

Sumner Surf Club (binoculars<br />

and equipment) and Taylors<br />

Mistake Surf Club (landscaping<br />

at new headquarters). This<br />

year we’re spreading the<br />

donations around: The Sumner<br />

Kindergarten needs some new<br />

equipment, there’s a surfboard<br />

library starting up – they’re<br />

making surfboards for people to<br />

use. We’re also contributing to<br />

life vests for disabled surfers. The<br />

first year we raised $1000 – there<br />

were only four of us – last year we<br />

raised $6000.<br />

How is the money raised? Are<br />

the dippers sponsored like the<br />

whiskered men of Movember?<br />

When I set this challenge I<br />

decided I’m going to donate $10 a<br />

day for every day I dip, so its $310<br />

at the end of the month. If I miss<br />

a day I’m going to have to put<br />

$50 in. To date I’ve never had to<br />

put $50 in. Other people donate<br />

whatever or they might get<br />

friends to donate to the challenge.<br />

We haven’t actively asked for<br />

sponsorship, it’s just amongst<br />

ourselves. We don’t force anyone<br />

to put money in.<br />

Money is not the only bottom<br />

line is it? Dipping can be<br />

enriching in other ways can’t it?<br />

The other good thing I’ve<br />

enjoyed about it is a lot of<br />

people haven’t been confident<br />

great to see their love of the water<br />

and being able to then continue<br />

to improve themselves and really<br />

be able to swim.<br />

There are also perceived<br />

health benefits from cold water<br />

dipping aren’t there?<br />

It’s meant to help your immune<br />

water is meant to do good things.<br />

Plus, it’s meant to be good for<br />

mental health. There’s been<br />

quite a few stories of people<br />

that have had depression and<br />

things like that, they immerse<br />

themselves in the cold water and<br />

they’ve managed to get off their<br />

THE AKAROA Scottish Country<br />

Dance Club is hosting an open day<br />

on Sunday, inviting members of the<br />

public to get kitted out in a kilt.<br />

Committee member Alison<br />

Ruddenklau said the event will be<br />

held at The Gaiety from 2-4pm.<br />

Visitors are welcome to join in,<br />

enjoy the music and try out a new,<br />

playful style of dance.<br />

“It is a family event so everyone can<br />

give it a go,” she said.<br />

“A friendly tutor can help guide you<br />

with the basic dancing moves.”<br />

Scottish country dancing is a style<br />

of dance involving groups of couples<br />

tracing patterns in a sequence.<br />

This style of dance can be traced<br />

back to the 18th-century.<br />

Museum, Treasures From The Past.<br />

The museum was closed after its<br />

building was lost in the earthquakes and<br />

a fundraising campaign is under way for a<br />

new building on London St, on land gifted<br />

by the city council, while an application<br />

for consent is in progress. To find out more<br />

Today’s column focuses on Lyttelton<br />

Borough School, 1874.<br />

On a fine December evening in 1874,<br />

the children of the various divisions of the<br />

newly built school were marched in good<br />

order to the Colonists’ Hall.<br />

There, in front of their teachers, parents,<br />

friends, and assorted dignitaries, the very<br />

best of them would receive a borough<br />

council prize, presented by the newly<br />

elected mayor, Dr Rouse.<br />

A special mayor’s prize for the neatest<br />

girl was also presented, and after being<br />

reminded by some ladies present that boys<br />

might also be as tidy as girls, his Worship<br />

declared, to cheers from the audience,<br />

a prize for the tidiest boy (The Press<br />

December 18, 1874).<br />

At this time the school had about 600<br />

students on the roll, and would continue<br />

to service the community of Ōhinehou/<br />

Lyttelton for another 67 years until it was<br />

demolished in 1941 to make way for the<br />

Lyttelton Main School.<br />

And in the fullness of time, so too<br />

the Main School passed into the history<br />

books, demolished after the February,<br />

LITTLE RIVER has a playful<br />

new mural created by local artist<br />

Frankie Bakker with help from<br />

Little River School pupils.<br />

Bakker met with the year<br />

4 and 5 pupils in February to<br />

gather their ideas on how to turn<br />

the blank wall at the tennis club<br />

opposite their school into something<br />

unique and colourful.<br />

She showed them her Pop-Up<br />

Penguin, which raised $17,500<br />

for the Cholmondeley Children’s<br />

Centre, and another mural she<br />

created at a zoo in Japan.<br />

The pupils then got to work,<br />

drawing their own ideas for<br />

creating their own mural.<br />

Using the children’s ideas as<br />

inspiration, Bakker put together<br />

a final design.<br />

Copies of this were printed for<br />

the children to take home and<br />

colour in.<br />

The city council anti-graffiti<br />

team provided Bakker with<br />

paint and for the past five weeks,<br />

she has been busy turning the<br />

children’s ideas into reality.<br />

Because the school is right<br />

next door the children have been<br />

able to see the mural developing<br />

each day, Bakker putting in at<br />

least 100 hours of painting time.<br />

“I totally adored the experience,”<br />

Bakker said.<br />

“The children would come out<br />

and see what I was doing during<br />

the day and ask me lots of questions<br />

about the process such as<br />

how did you blend that?”<br />

Teacher Tara Sutherland said<br />

it’s been “an unforgettable experience”<br />

for her class.<br />

“Frankie encouraged the<br />

children to free their inner<br />

artist and let go of the need to be<br />

‘perfect’– no idea was too crazy<br />

and everyone’s contribution was<br />

valued,” she said.<br />

“When we thought back on<br />

the experience, the pupils said<br />

COLOURFUL CREATION: Budding artists at Little River School helped local artist Frankie<br />

Bakker come up with the design of a new mural.<br />

they loved working together,<br />

choosing what to do for the<br />

mural, picking the colours and<br />

knowing it’s their own work and<br />

it will stay there for a long time.’”<br />

The mural includes glow-inthe-dark<br />

paint for the moreporks’<br />

eyes, blossoms, and tree<br />

lights.<br />

A second mural on the other<br />

side of the wall has been planned<br />

out by Bakker and the pupils. It<br />

will be painted in spring.<br />

Bakker said the design for<br />

this mural includes a crownadorned<br />

Playground<br />

equipment<br />

awaits approval<br />

• By Samantha Mythen<br />

THE Linwood-Central-<br />

Heathcote Community Board<br />

will today discuss approving new<br />

playground equipment for Te<br />

Papa Kura Redcliffs.<br />

The playground equipment will<br />

include a swing set donated by<br />

Ruth and Jeremy Markham-Short.<br />

They are hoping to donate the<br />

swing set in memory of their<br />

23-month-old son Reuben who<br />

died in late 2020.<br />

The parents spoke to the board<br />

about the idea earlier in the year,<br />

sharing their personal story of<br />

loss.<br />

During the meeting, board<br />

chairwoman Alexandra Davids<br />

said: “Everyone is very supportive<br />

of this effort and it will absolutely<br />

go ahead.”<br />

Reuben contracted meningococcal<br />

disease. He loved playing<br />

on the swings.<br />

The parents would like to see<br />

the swing set at the park as it is<br />

near where Reuben went to preschool.<br />

Alongside the swing set, there<br />

will be a small slide, nature play,<br />

including boulders and stepping<br />

posts, and safety surfacing.<br />

The city council, in a report<br />

to the community board, is<br />

recommending that it approves<br />

the plan.<br />

after the project received a grant.<br />

Te Puna Auaha will be a space<br />

where people can hang out<br />

and work together on projects,<br />

sharing ideas, equipment and<br />

knowledge.<br />

The trust behind the project<br />

has received a $13,470 grant from<br />

the city council’s Enliven Places<br />

Projects Fund.<br />

Alongside this, they have<br />

managed to purchase several<br />

containers for the site, despite<br />

the international container<br />

shortage, and in 2020, the trust<br />

raised more than $10,000 with a<br />

successful Boosted campaign.<br />

An application for a resource<br />

consent has been lodged.<br />

Te Puna Auaha Trust chairman<br />

Paul Dietsche acknowledged<br />

the community’s support<br />

and generosity in making the<br />

project happen.<br />

“A community makerspace<br />

for everyone, celebrating<br />

inclusive, accessible learning<br />

and the sharing of mātauranga<br />

[knowledge] between<br />

generations is at the core of the<br />

vision for this space,” he said.<br />

“We had some very kind<br />

donations from people and<br />

businesses in the community.”<br />

It is hoped for a soft opening of<br />

the space in spring with working<br />

bees to finalise the set-up.<br />

The chosen site is at 7 Norwich<br />

Quay, which is currently an<br />

empty lot owned by the Lyttelton<br />

Port Company.<br />

Port company engagement<br />

and sustainability general<br />

manager Phil de Joux said:<br />

“Having a space where people<br />

can come together to share tools<br />

and knowledge will be a great<br />

benefit to the community. We<br />

also know that a number of LPC<br />

staff are very excited to have<br />

these resources available on our<br />

doorstep.”<br />

Te Puna Auaha means<br />

“spring or pool of creativity and<br />

innovation.”<br />

It will finally be able to place<br />

the tools and woodworking<br />

machines donated by Linwood<br />

College, which have been in<br />

storage for two years, into a new<br />

home.<br />

A mural, designed by Ngāti<br />

Wheke artist James Korako,<br />

will be painted on the wall<br />

of a neighbouring building overlooking<br />

the site. A depiction of<br />

the mural has been included in<br />

the concept render (above).<br />

MAKERSPACE:<br />

A concept<br />

render by Sam<br />

Weston of Te<br />

Puna Auaha, a<br />

new community<br />

space to share<br />

skills, tools and<br />

knowledge,<br />

coming to<br />

Lyttelton this<br />

spring. ​<br />

Trustee Jennifer Clarke said:<br />

“Kia whakatōmuri te haere<br />

whakamua, ‘I walk backwards<br />

into the future with my<br />

eyes fixed on my past’ is the<br />

whakatauki [proverb] for this<br />

work. It will be fantastic to<br />

have James’ art up for the<br />

community and it will provide a<br />

powerful backdrop for the<br />

makerspace below.”<br />

Speed limits<br />

I am emailing in regards to the<br />

consultation to drop the speed<br />

limit from 50km/h to 40km/h<br />

between Lyttleton and Cass <strong>Bay</strong>.<br />

The drivers causing the issues<br />

around safety and excessive<br />

speed are going to be causing the<br />

issues no matter what the speed<br />

limit. If it is dropped to 40km/h<br />

it will not deter or stop these<br />

drivers or make the road safer.<br />

Unless the road is policed for<br />

safety it doesn’t matter if it is<br />

50km/h or 40km/h, the drivers<br />

causing the issues will still be<br />

there. Yes, driving slower is safer<br />

but also inconvenient and can<br />

create some tension with drivers<br />

overtaking.<br />

I drove the road at 40km/h<br />

and to be honest, there were a<br />

couple of spots that could be<br />

warranted at that speed where<br />

the road is narrow with cars<br />

parked, but 50km/h seems like<br />

the correct speed. The quality<br />

of the road is an issue and as a<br />

community we have addressed<br />

this with Andrew Turner.<br />

We have asked on several<br />

occasions what the long-term<br />

plan is for this road with the<br />

repairs and making the road<br />

safer, with no response.<br />

– Craig Shaw, Cass <strong>Bay</strong><br />

A lower speed limit on the<br />

majority of Lyttelton’s streets<br />

will make no difference, since<br />

most of the streets are short and<br />

narrow, and I am all for making<br />

streets safer.<br />

SAFETY: 50km signs at Cass <strong>Bay</strong>.<br />

But when it is proposed to put<br />

a 40km/h speed limit on a main<br />

thoroughfare, where there is only<br />

one road everyone uses which is<br />

a nearly 4km-long stretch from<br />

the tunnel, it will make the road<br />

less safe.<br />

People will get frustrated stuck<br />

behind cars doing less than the<br />

speed limit and pass when there<br />

are on-coming cyclists or unseen<br />

cars coming around the bend.<br />

What I would like to see is<br />

an edge strip added the length<br />

of Governors <strong>Bay</strong> Rd and only<br />

allow parking on one side of all<br />

bar the widest parts of Brittan<br />

and Park Tces to make it safer<br />

for all users and all emergency<br />

Congratulations to the<br />

installed lighting on their street<br />

It is a delight to pass through<br />

Mayor<br />

Much as I admire Gary<br />

McCormick as an entertainer<br />

I don’t think his criteria for<br />

choosing the mayor would work<br />

very well.<br />

Deciding to dig a ditch to<br />

solve the flooding may be a good<br />

idea, however it may not be the<br />

best solution. We need a mayor<br />

who asks questions of those who<br />

have the knowledge, who listens<br />

before acting.<br />

I have heard Gary on the radio<br />

and know he values community<br />

and has concern for those who<br />

are struggling, so why would he<br />

support a right-leaning person<br />

for mayor?<br />

We are facing serious threats<br />

like climate change and loss of<br />

Are you a positive person with constructive ideas and a passion<br />

for Banks Peninsula?<br />

You may like to help us as we design and build a new wastewater scheme<br />

for Akaroa.<br />

Christchurch City Council has approved a wastewater treatment system<br />

that will reclaim and reuse treated wastewater. This will include reuse in<br />

Akaroa and irrigation to new areas of native trees and plants in Robinsons<br />

<strong>Bay</strong>, Takamātua and Hammond Point and a new wetland site on Old Coach<br />

Road next to a new treatment plant.<br />

We are setting up a community reference group for the project to ensure<br />

community concerns are understood and, where possible, addressed.<br />

We need up to five community volunteers to join representatives of the<br />

Banks Peninsula Community Board, Ōnuku Rūnanga and our project team.<br />

The group will help us in the lead-up to our irrigation consent application.<br />

The role of its members is to suggest ways to address community concerns<br />

and ideas to enable the project to be as beneficial as possible to the<br />

community, through opportunities for improved recreation, heritage,<br />

education, ecology, landscape and the like.<br />

If this interests you and you have constructive ideas, we’d love to hear<br />

from you.<br />

Don’t let pain<br />

keep you down<br />

Book a physio and get back to<br />

the things you love this winter.<br />

Winter is a time of year that invites us to slow down<br />

to rest and renew. For some, it means getting out to<br />

our favourite winter sports such as snowboarding or<br />

skiing! However you choose to spend these shorter,<br />

cooler days, it’s essential to keep your body moving.<br />

For those who experience physical pain, that is easier<br />

said than done.<br />

Heat plays a crucial part in helping muscles and joints relax,<br />

so it’s no surprise that the cold weather can make pain feel<br />

worse, making it harder to stay active. Depending on what<br />

causes your pain, there are some things you can do to help<br />

manage it during winter. Aaron Searle, clinical lead at Habit<br />

Health recommends the following:<br />

• Spend a little extra time warming up before exercise.<br />

• Get seven to eight hours of restful sleep each night.<br />

• Eat plenty of nutrient-rich foods.<br />

• Drink plenty of water, so you stay hydrated to help<br />

protect your joints and muscles.<br />

If the pain you’re experiencing is a little more complicated<br />

than just cold weather, a physiotherapist could help. Physiotherapists<br />

are trained health professionals who help address<br />

and treat the pain that negatively impacts your daily life. They<br />

provide you with the tools to help manage your pain so you<br />

can get back to the things you love doing.<br />

Habit Health has highly skilled physiotherapists trained in<br />

musculoskeletal (MSK) injuries and other problems causing<br />

pain. As no two patients are the same, the Habit Health team<br />

will assess your injury, your body, and your experience holistically<br />

to ensure the treatment plan they provide is right for<br />

your unique needs. The physio may also recommend and refer<br />

you to another specialist who can support you on your pain<br />

management journey.<br />

Ultimately, your body is meant to move, so don’t let pain<br />

get you down this winter. Book a physio and get back to the<br />

things you love.<br />

From the very bottom to the tippy-top, there’s a Habit Health<br />

clinic near you. Look out for our local names, like Habit Rehab<br />

and Southern Rehab.<br />

Pesto-stuffed lamb roast. Try the whisky or mulled wine marinade<br />

instead of your usual gravy. (Below) – Roast venison.<br />

Jazz up your winter roast<br />

with a tasty marinade<br />

It’s certainly the<br />

weather for hot<br />

roasts, try spicing<br />

them up a bit<br />

with ingredients<br />

you are likely to<br />

have at home<br />

Pesto-stuffed lamb<br />

roast with garlic<br />

Serves 4<br />

Ingredients<br />

⅓ cup pesto<br />

⅓ cup ground almonds<br />

2 tbsp fresh oregano<br />

salt and ground pepper<br />

750gm lamb roast<br />

2 cloves garlic<br />

Directions<br />

Heat oven to 200 deg C.<br />

To make the stuffing, place<br />

pesto, ground almonds and<br />

chopped fresh oregano in a<br />

bowl. Season with salt and<br />

pepper to taste and mix to<br />

combine.<br />

Trim any fat or sinew<br />

from the lamb. Season on<br />

both sides with salt and<br />

pepper and lay out flat on<br />

a board, skin-side down.<br />

Spread stuffing over the<br />

lamb and roll it up to contain<br />

filling. Tie pieces with<br />

string to secure it.<br />

Heat an ovenproof<br />

pan, add two tablespoons<br />

oil and sear lamb for<br />

5min, turning to brown all<br />

over.<br />

Add two heads of garlic,<br />

cut in half to the pan and<br />

place in the oven to roast<br />

for 25min for medium-rare,<br />

2 tbsp prepared mustard<br />

3-4 tbsp olive oil<br />

400gm beef fillet (or<br />

lamb)<br />

freshly ground black<br />

pepper<br />

1 cup beef stock<br />

1 tbsp thyme leaves<br />

Directions<br />

Whisk whisky, mustard<br />

room temperature before<br />

cooking.<br />

Preheat grill on high.<br />

Remove meat from<br />

marinade and pat dry.<br />

Brush with remaining oil.<br />

Season with black pepper.<br />

Grill for about 8min each<br />

side. To test if done, press<br />

thickest part of meat with<br />

your fingertip. The softer it<br />

is the rarer it is; the firmer<br />

it is, the more cooked. Tent<br />

with foil and cover with a<br />

thick towel. Rest for 10min<br />

before slicing.<br />

Bring marinade, stock<br />

and thyme to the boil.<br />

Simmer for 10min. Serve<br />

with the meat.<br />

Remove meat from<br />

marinade and pat dry.<br />

Reserve marinade for the<br />

sauce. Season.<br />

Heat olive oil in a pan.<br />

Sear venison until lightly<br />

browned on all sides.<br />

Place in a small roasting<br />

pan in the oven. Roast for<br />

20-25 minutes for medium<br />

rare.<br />

Remove from oven and<br />

tent with foil. Cover with<br />

Rally-bred Yaris provides the thrills<br />

TOYOTA IS no stranger to rally<br />

success. I remember well the<br />

heady days during the early 90s<br />

when the amazing Celica GT-<br />

Four dominated the World Rally<br />

Championship.<br />

Toyota distanced itself from<br />

rallying for many years, it dabbled<br />

in formula one and sports<br />

endurance racing, however, it<br />

came back to rallying in 2017<br />

and the company has had success<br />

with the Yaris, winning the WRC<br />

in 2019 and 2020.<br />

While the Yaris is a world apart<br />

from the Celica as I know it –<br />

the latter was part of the Kiddie-family<br />

line-up for many years<br />

– the Yaris with its hatchback<br />

design lends itself to the WRC,<br />

competing against other small<br />

hatchbacks such as Ford’s Fiesta,<br />

Volkswagen Polo and Citroen<br />

DS3.<br />

Toyota has just introduced a<br />

new Yaris on the New Zealand<br />

market. It comes in many guises –<br />

petrol-only models, hybrids and<br />

the funky Yaris Cross. I’ve driven<br />

all in recent months and can<br />

report that they uphold the values<br />

Toyota has in a small car.<br />

However, there is one major<br />

surprise within the Yaris line-up<br />

and that is the GR model, a car<br />

inspired by the WRC-winning<br />

model. GR is an abbreviation for<br />

Gazoo Racing which is Toyota’s<br />

performance arm that helped<br />

develop the WRC car.<br />

The GR Yaris in road-going<br />

form is no rally car, but it doesn’t<br />

miss out by much. Firstly, it is<br />

powered by a 1.6-litre three-cylinder<br />

heavily turbocharged<br />

engine, it has a six-speed manual<br />

transmission and drives out all<br />

four wheels and, what’s more, you<br />

can direct drive to give you that<br />

rally feel, power can be proportioned<br />

heavily to the rear, or to<br />

the front, or have a 50:50 split<br />

should you desire that.<br />

Personally, I like the push you<br />

get from the rear, so during my<br />

time with the test car I drove it<br />

in sport mode which sends 70<br />

per cent in that direction. Under<br />

power you can almost force oversteer,<br />

which is immense fun, and<br />

there is more than enough power<br />

on tap to do that.<br />

Putting that into context, the<br />

engine is rated with 200kW<br />

and 370Nm, outputs realised at<br />

6500rpm and 3000-4600rpm<br />

respectively, all those figures considered,<br />

the Yaris is quick, strong<br />

and willing under all driving conditions.<br />

It is also eager, you know<br />

as a driver it wants to get hunting,<br />

the turbo boost is strong and the<br />

engine will fly to high revolutions<br />

if the accelerator is given any<br />

minor provocation.<br />

According to Toyota, the GR<br />

Yaris will make 100km/h from a<br />

standstill in 5.2sec, and it will also<br />

lunge to 120km/h from 80km/h<br />

in 4.5sec. It will also make<br />

230km/h if laws allowed.<br />

I had some items to pick up<br />

from Rangiora, so the obvious<br />

choice of roads to get home to my<br />

city suburb was through Loburn,<br />

Oxford and State Highway 72.<br />

They weren’t perfect roads for<br />

the GR Yaris simply because there<br />

THRILLING:<br />

The GR Yaris<br />

has the<br />

performance<br />

to match its<br />

sporty looks.<br />

TOYOTA YARIS GR: Based on World Rally Championship-winning car.<br />

aren’t enough corners, but I did<br />

backtrack into an area where<br />

there were some challenges and<br />

enjoyed the feel of knowing the<br />

driver is in command.<br />

Just when you think it will drift<br />

nicely out of a corner, grip comes<br />

in from the front to pull the car<br />

straight and it powers off until<br />

the next corner arrives. When<br />

that happens, huge stopping force<br />

through a premium brake system<br />

comes into play.<br />

Grip is supplied by high quality<br />

Michelin tyres (225/40 x 18in),<br />

and with a comparatively heavy<br />

steering feel all the ingredients<br />

are in place for spirited motoring.<br />

Shifts through the six-speeder<br />

are short and direct, there’s no<br />

chance of wrong-slotting, and<br />

clutch action, while firmish under<br />

foot, is progressive.<br />

There’s also an intelligent<br />

manual transmission mode that<br />

will blip the engine on downshift,<br />

matching the revs to the gearing,<br />

much like we used to do with the<br />

double de-clutch method.<br />

The GR Yaris is an absolute<br />

blast to drive, it feels twitchy with<br />

its short wheelbase, but such<br />

is the grip and control it has it<br />

inspires confidence. It is playful,<br />

yet safe at the same time with<br />

traction control systems intervening<br />

when forces are outweighing<br />

the law of physics.<br />

Even though the GR Yaris is<br />

• Price – Toyota Yaris GR,<br />

$54,990<br />

• Dimensions – Length,<br />

six-speed manual<br />

• Performance –<br />

0-100km/h, 5.2sec<br />

• Fuel usage – 7.6l/100km<br />

based on the WRC car, I didn’t<br />

take it off the seal as such, it had<br />

been presented beautifully and<br />

I didn’t want to risk stone chips<br />

and be presented with a massive<br />

clean-up job. But I did find a<br />

couple of corners that had loose<br />

surface seal and I was able to feel<br />

electronics working in order to<br />

maintain grip and acceleration.<br />

The GR Yaris builds on the fun<br />

angle that Toyota has pitched for<br />

the new Yaris series and you can<br />

glean immense pleasure from it,<br />

it most certainly is an exhilarating<br />

car that tugs at all the senses.<br />

The engine has a characteristic<br />

throb, it sounds chunky but<br />

sings sweetly from 4000rpm<br />

onwards letting the driver know<br />

it is enjoying its work. There’s no<br />

point in the rev band where it<br />

doesn’t want to work freely, it will<br />

also dawdle the city streets in tall<br />

gears, the turbo producing huge<br />

torque that allows the car to pull<br />

from very low revolutions.<br />

There is a little trade-off in<br />

terms fuel usage. Normally, you’d<br />

expect a 1.6-litre engine to garner<br />

an average better than 7.6-litres<br />

per 100km, but if you want performance<br />

that is the price to pay.<br />

When I took the test car back<br />

to the dealership it was showing<br />

9.8l/100km on the readout, perhaps<br />

an indication of how much<br />

I enjoyed hearing and feeling<br />

that engine work. At 100km/h an<br />

instantaneous reading of 5l/10kmn<br />

can be expected (engine<br />

speed 2500rpm). All that aside, a<br />

generous 50-litre fuel tank means<br />

frequent top-ups can be avoided.<br />

In terms of fitment, the GR<br />

Yaris has all the goods. It has<br />

an in-cabin environment that<br />

matches the sporty exterior<br />

design, and has specification<br />

that justifies a very respectable<br />

$54,990 price tag.<br />

My wife recently suggested we<br />

buy a Yaris for our retirement. I’d<br />

certainly be interested in the GR,<br />

the only thing is she’s not thrilled<br />

with cars that have manual transmission,<br />

I’ve obviously got a bit of<br />

work ahead if I’m to convince her<br />

the GR is the car for us.<br />

In the interim anyone who does<br />

get to have one in their garage on<br />

a permanent basis will certainly<br />

be rewarded, it is one stroppy hot<br />

hatchback.<br />

Our vision is simple.<br />

To be relatable and genuine home specialists within<br />

our chosen communities.<br />

We operate with complete transparency, translating<br />

into the best outcome for you and your well being. We<br />

are about building alifetime of strong relationships.<br />

You matter, we care.<br />

A L O O K A T T H E MA R K E T | E D D I E & KI E R E N<br />

What we are seeing on the ground:<br />

At the beginning of the year, we witnessed the strongest<br />

market Christchurch has ever seen. We had the lowest<br />

volume on the market since post -earthquake and the<br />

market was aflood with buyers. This drove prices up at an<br />

incredible rate. Seven months on to <strong>July</strong> <strong>2021</strong> there are a<br />

record low number of properties on the market, however<br />

the ‘flood’ of buyers has somewhat decreased from the<br />

start of this year. The media is playing their part to try to ‘<br />

cool’ the housing market with alot of ‘ click bait’ but<br />

ultimately prices are still rising, just not at the rate they<br />

were at the end of 2020 to early <strong>2021</strong>.<br />

Regardless of what your plans may be with your HOME, there<br />

has never been abetter market to know where the value of<br />

your HOME sits. Whether it be to use your existing home as<br />

leverage to complete that renovation you have always wanted<br />

to complete, to purchase an investment or holiday home, or to<br />

merely know what you’re sitting on for your retirement.<br />

Whatever your plans are, we are here to help you on your<br />

journey whenever you may need us.<br />
