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 />

halfway through Wet <strong>July</strong>.<br />
On pages 6, 7 and 8, reporter<br />

The dippers are cold water<br />
swimmers, who say soaking<br />
up the super cold winter water<br />
is therapeutic.<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 />
and they’ve managed to get off<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 />
aware of where they park<br />
DAMAGED: The house that<br />
caught fire last Thursday.<br />
now, they aren’t thinking about<br />
the implications.”<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 />
want to have to get the police or<br />
parking enforcement involved<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 />
chill factor, it’s sleeting and<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 />
WEEKEND<br />
WARRIORS:<br />

Possible health benefits<br />
in the water before and after<br />
they’ve mucked around with us,<br />
they’re now taking swimming<br />

swimming races. It’s been really<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 />
system. The shock of the cold<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 />
antidepressants.<br />
Give your kilts an outing<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 />

<strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News is running a regular<br />
column from Te Ūaka The Lyttelton<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 />
2011 earthquake to be replaced by the<br />
Lyttelton Primary School in 2016.<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 />
pukeko, a trout holding<br />
a lantern and eels doing somersaults.<br />
She is also beginning art classes<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
or longer depending on<br />
your liking towards pink<br />

Whisky marinade for<br />
roast meat<br />
Serves 3-4<br />
Ingredients<br />
¼ cup whisky<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 />
and 3 tbsp of olive oil<br />
until well combined. Place<br />
beef in a plastic bag. Add<br />
marinade. Refrigerate<br />
for 1 hour. Return to<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 />

Move meat around so it is<br />
well coated. Refrigerate for<br />
at least 60min or up to 8<br />
hours.<br />

Preheat oven to 200<br />
deg C.<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 />
a thick towel and stand for<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 />
