Balloting begins for Coastal by-election<br />
• By John Cosgrove<br />
VOTERS WILL start receiving<br />
ballot papers today to elect a new<br />
Coastal Ward councillor.<br />
Seven candidates are vying for<br />
the seat vacated by James Daniels<br />
in May.<br />
Daniels triggered the byelection<br />
when he announced<br />
he was leaving the role and the<br />
$114,130 pay packet to work as<br />
a co-host on the Newstalk ZB<br />
afternoon show.<br />
He had ousted two-term<br />
councillor David East in the 2019<br />
local body elections by a slender<br />
339 votes.<br />
Now East is back, seeking to<br />
reclaim his seat, along with six<br />
others.<br />
They are: Kelly Barber<br />
(The People’s Choice), the<br />
current chairman of the<br />
Coastal-Burwood Community<br />
Board; Celeste Donovan<br />
(Independent – Positive<br />
Community Action), the current<br />
chairwoman of the New Brighton<br />
Residents Association; Katie<br />
Hays; Andre Hopman<br />
(Independent); Caleb Isaacs<br />
(Independent); and Nikora Nitro.<br />
The election pledges of the<br />
candidates reflected the word<br />
on the street at New Brighton<br />
when <strong>Pegasus</strong> <strong>Post</strong> asked a cross<br />
section of residents what they<br />
were seeking from candidates in<br />
a by-election estimated to cost<br />
about $65,000.<br />
Michelle Nicolls of South<br />
Brighton wants candidates to<br />
concentrate of the basics.<br />
“Get our roads<br />
fixed instead of<br />
giving us fancy<br />
new stuff, just<br />
give us the basics<br />
and we’ll be<br />
happy,” she said.<br />
New Brighton<br />
Michelle retailer Dennis<br />
Nicolls Shrimpton<br />
believes they all<br />
have the best of intentions but it’s<br />
obvious some have it and some<br />
don’t.<br />
“Some mean<br />
well and I’m<br />
impressed with<br />
them, I believe<br />
that if they are<br />
elected it bodes<br />
well for our<br />
Dennis<br />
Shrimpton<br />
community, I<br />
just hope they<br />
give Brighton a<br />
big smack on the<br />
bum and lift it up,” he said.<br />

TACKING through Covid-19<br />
regulations ensures a fair wind for the<br />
Pleasant Point Yacht Club as it starts<br />
sailing this weekend.<br />
On Saturday, the club will launch its<br />
101 st season on the estuary.<br />
Club committee member Nigel<br />
Humphreys said they will be out<br />
on the estuary from the South New<br />
Brighton Park as they host an open<br />
race for dinghy sailors.<br />
“Despite Covid we’ll be out there,<br />
but because of the delay in opening<br />
by many other clubs in the district we<br />
are expecting a slightly lower turnout<br />
than in previous years.”<br />
The race starts at 2.40pm and<br />
Humphreys said spectators and those<br />
interested in sailing are welcome to<br />
come along.<br />
“Our 101 st season is going to be a<br />
good one as we have new boats and<br />
facilities on hand, they are great and<br />
make a vast improvement from five<br />
years in containers.”<br />
He credits the new facilities<br />
and the heightened interest in<br />
sailing due to the recent America’s<br />
Cup and Olympics as the reason<br />
for the growing interest in sailing.<br />
“Some come for the social side<br />
and some come to race, to help them<br />
all we will be starting junior and<br />
adult Learn to Sail programmes in<br />
October.”<br />
The junior course will run during<br />
the school holidays from October 11<br />
through to October 15, while the adult<br />
learn to sail course will run from<br />
OPEN DAY: The new Pleasant Point Yacht Club facilities will host a<br />
dinghy race meeting this weekend. Senior boats compete in one<br />
of the many races the club holds each sailing season out on the<br />
estuary.<br />
October 17 through to November 13.<br />
The courses follow the<br />
Yachting NZ coaching programme<br />
and will be run by the club’s learn to<br />
sail co-ordinators Dan O’Sullivan<br />
and Brett Hawkes, with assistance of<br />
experienced club members.<br />
No experience is needed to<br />
take part and the club will<br />
supply yachts and life jackets … but<br />
recommend suitable footwear and<br />
warm clothing.<br />

Hearing panel on freedom camping continues<br />
• By John Cosgrove<br />
THE TESTY issue of freedom<br />
camping in the city continues to<br />
polarise opinion.<br />
The city council’s bylaw hearings<br />
panel was due to reconvene<br />
this morning after spending all<br />
of last Monday hearing submissions<br />
for the proposed replacement<br />
Freedom Camping Bylaw<br />
<strong>2021</strong>.<br />
Submitters assembled to<br />
consider the proposal to make<br />
changes to the freedom camping<br />
bylaw that covers Christchurch<br />
and Banks Peninsula, which was<br />
first introduced five years ago.<br />
Panel members, councillors<br />
Phil Mauger, Tim Scandrett and<br />
Deputy Mayor Andrew Turner,<br />
were to restart the process again<br />
this morning.<br />
Of the 97 submissions<br />
received, 12 were from<br />
organisations, three were from<br />
businesses and 82 were from<br />
individual submitters.<br />
The proposed bylaw changes<br />
include making a temporary<br />
ban on freedom camping in<br />
the North Beach car park<br />
permanent. The ban would apply<br />
at weekends from October to<br />
May to enable good access to the<br />
carpark when it is at its busiest.<br />
Proposed changes also include<br />
creating a city coastal restricted<br />
zone, where freedom campers<br />
could stay for up to four nights<br />
in any 30-day period. This new<br />
zone would prevent campers<br />
using the current 500m rule to<br />
move short distances every few<br />
days and stay in the coastal area<br />
for extended periods of time.<br />
Another proposed change is<br />
the introduction of a new rule to<br />
encourage campers to be more<br />
careful about how they set up<br />
their vehicles and camping gear.<br />
The rule would prevent campers<br />
from blocking thoroughfares<br />
and spreading out.<br />
The last element focuses on<br />
creating a specified area at Naval<br />
Point in Lyttelton where freedom<br />
campers can stay, and limiting<br />
the number of freedom camping<br />
spots to 18 vehicles.<br />
A report prepared by council<br />
staff for the hearings panel<br />
said most of the submissions<br />
received are generally supportive<br />
of the proposed bylaw changes,<br />

COSGROVE<br />
although some disagreed and<br />
others put forward suggestions<br />
to further improve the bylaw.<br />
The main area of contention<br />
was the City Coastal Restricted<br />
Zone proposal.<br />
The report notes submissions<br />
on this proposal were very<br />
mixed.<br />
There was strong<br />
opposition mentioned in the<br />
report in relation to Southshore<br />
being included, with some wanting<br />
camping prohibited<br />
instead.<br />
The hearings panel will be<br />
considering all the matters raised<br />
in the submissions and then will<br />
seek advice from staff before<br />
making recommendations to<br />
council on the final form of the<br />
bylaw.<br />
The aim of the panel is to have<br />
an updated Freedom Camping<br />
Bylaw in place by the start of<br />
the summer.<br />

Big job expected for successful candidate<br />
• From page 1<br />
Facility manager Samantha Fay<br />
said whoever gets elected will have<br />
a big job on their hands.<br />
“I think they all have to realise<br />
what a huge job it will be representing<br />
this area, they cannot consider<br />
it as a part-time job as we have such<br />
a diverse community here.<br />
The candidates<br />
“It’s a long ward and the candidates<br />
need to look beyond focusing<br />
on the mall regeneration and have<br />
a broader overview of what need to<br />
be done in all the communities that<br />
make up our ward,” she said.<br />
Hair salon owner Felicity Patterson<br />
(right) wants more doing and<br />
less talking. “The council needs to<br />
really sort out the landlords here as<br />
they need to be more accountable.”<br />
Retiree Terry O’Keefe said he<br />
hasn’t made up his mind yet who to<br />
support, but he is hoping for someone<br />
who is practically minded.<br />
“I hope they are practical people<br />
who are much better at working<br />
than those who just talk about<br />
theory all the time.”<br />
Voting closes at noon, Friday, October<br />
8. But electoral officer Jo Daly<br />
is urging people to vote quickly.<br />
The 2019 elections reflected a<br />
response by only 42.13 per cent<br />
or 6509 of the 15,447 eligible voters.<br />
This was a 2.08 per cent increase<br />
from the previous 20<strong>16</strong> elections.<br />
Kelly Barber<br />
(Labour) –<br />
The current<br />
chairman of<br />
the Coastal-<br />
Burwood<br />
Community<br />
Board. His<br />
vision is to see the community<br />
bursting with new life. “I<br />
will be continuing to build<br />
strong relationships within the<br />
community and with those who<br />
make the decisions.”<br />
Celeste<br />
Donovan<br />
(Independent<br />
- Positive<br />

Action) –<br />
The current<br />
chairwoman<br />
of the New Brighton Residents’<br />
Association believes coastal<br />
communities need a strong<br />
local advocate who listens to<br />
residents and gives 100 per<br />
cent commitment to the job.<br />
“My promise to you is to stay<br />
engaged, to listen and work hard<br />
for the strong communities,<br />
healthy environment and better<br />
future that we all deserve.”<br />
David East<br />
(Independent)<br />
was the previous<br />
councillor cites<br />
his previous<br />
six years’<br />
experience on<br />
the city council<br />
and nine years community<br />
board service essential for him<br />
to continue advocating for all<br />
people. His key election focus<br />
includes addressing issues<br />
that matter most to residents,<br />
progression of New Brighton<br />
Mall initiatives, and roads and<br />
footpaths.<br />
Katie Hays, a<br />
property<br />
manager,<br />
believes the<br />
most urgent<br />
need is<br />
regeneration of<br />
the mall. “It’s<br />
the core of our communitygeographically,<br />
historically,<br />
and culturally. I am running<br />
because I feel passionate about<br />
this undertaking and qualified to<br />
achieve what is necessary.”<br />
Andre Hopman<br />
(Independent), a businessman in<br />
New Brighton, believes people<br />
can’t forget the basics that will<br />
ensure Coastal<br />
Christchurch<br />
remains a great<br />
place to live,<br />
work and invest.<br />
“We know what<br />
needs doing here<br />
and why it’s so<br />
important. I’m standing as an<br />
independent, because I believe<br />
there is no room for party<br />
politics in local government.”<br />
Caleb Isaacs<br />
(Independent),<br />
a small<br />
business owner,<br />
musician and<br />
New Brighton<br />
resident who<br />
believes it’s time<br />
the ward had<br />
fresh representation. “We don’t<br />
need political parties meddling<br />
in local politics, we need an<br />
unfiltered voice and someone<br />
who won’t be afraid to ask hard<br />
questions and ruffle feathers.”<br />
Nikora<br />
Nitro would<br />
like people to<br />
vote for him<br />
in this year’s<br />
Coastal Ward<br />
by-election<br />
because “you<br />
are amazing,<br />
fabulous, fantastic, unique and<br />
so am I.” “I believe that together<br />
we can make transformational<br />
differences and lead the way<br />
as a ward of the city council in<br />
the art of celebrating diversity<br />
and looking after its people.”<br />
My campaign strategy is to<br />
bring people together from all<br />
backgrounds.<br />

Knitters give babies a warm welcome<br />
FOUR WOMEN from<br />
Ferrymead Rotary have knitted<br />
almost 100 garments for babies<br />
born at the Christchurch<br />
Women’s Hospital this year.<br />
Pat Edward, Debbie Woolf,<br />
Kathryn Tovgaard and Barbara<br />
Crooks began the project about<br />
four months ago, although the<br />
Ferrymead Rotary group has<br />
been providing knitted clothing<br />
to the hospital for some time.<br />
Kathryn has personally been<br />
knitting for the hospital for five<br />
years.<br />
Barbara said they intensified<br />
their efforts this year after<br />
receiving a call for help from the<br />
hospital.<br />
All babies born at the hospital<br />
are given a woollen hat at birth,<br />
while woollen singlets, matinee<br />
jackets and booties are available<br />
for mothers to take home.<br />
So far, the group has knitted<br />
more than 60 woolly hats, with<br />
Pat heading the count.<br />
The hats produced are a variety<br />
of different sizes and colours.<br />
Barbara said Ferrymead<br />
Rotary has funded some of the<br />
wool, but all of the knitters’ time<br />
is given voluntarily.<br />
They estimate up to seven<br />
hours goes into making each hat.<br />
Most of the knitting has been<br />
done individually, although the<br />
four have got together from time<br />
to time to share wool and<br />
swap notes.<br />
Acknowledging Rotary clubs<br />
used to be men only, Kathryn<br />
said: “People don’t necessarily<br />
connect Rotarians with knitting<br />
but anything is possible.”<br />
She said being a part of<br />
a Rotary club was a family<br />
tradition.<br />
“One thing I said a long time<br />
ago was that I always wanted<br />
to help out in the community<br />
throughout my life,” she said.<br />
“A group of people can do<br />
so much more than just an<br />
individual.”<br />
CHAMPION KNITTERS:<br />
Ferrymead Rotary’s Kathryn<br />
Tovgaard, Debbie Woolf, Pat<br />
Edward and Barbara Crooks<br />
have knitted almost 100<br />
garments for new babies,<br />
while Pat tries on a hat for<br />
size (above).<br />
Ferrymead Rotary community<br />
director Debbie Woolf said the<br />
club is also working on making<br />
singlets and booties for Plunket<br />
and supplying the Methodist<br />
Mission with bedding, jerseys,<br />
hats, scarves, gloves and shoes.<br />
The Mission gives these items,<br />
donated or sourced by Rotary<br />
members, to homeless people.<br />

award-winning Canterbury<br />
chefs will entertain guests at the<br />
Cancer Society Canterbury-West<br />
Coast Division’s fundraising<br />
dinner event Too Many Cooks<br />
on October 9.<br />
Appearing at the Majestic on<br />
Durham event space, guests will<br />
be treated to a delicious threecourse<br />
meal, with the added<br />
bonus of being able to watch the<br />
chefs preparing it live on stage,<br />
while the witty banter of MC<br />
Michele A’Court keeps everyone<br />
on their toes.<br />
Division manger for fundraising,<br />
communications and<br />
relationships, Heather Locke<br />
said they wanted to take the traditional<br />
fundraising dinner and<br />
add something special.<br />
“We approached Jimmy McIntyre<br />
(executive chef at Otahuna<br />
Lodge), Darren Wright (former<br />
head chef at Chillingworth<br />
Road) and Andrew Brown (former<br />
executive chef at the George<br />
Hotel) and they were delighted<br />
to be involved,” Locke said.<br />
During the evening an auction<br />
of rare and original items<br />
including a one-of-a-kind sculpture<br />
and a central city parking<br />
space for a year will be on offer.<br />
TALENTS: Otahuna Lodge<br />
chef Jimmy McIntyre is<br />
one of three award-winning<br />
Canterbury chefs preparing<br />
to entertain guests at the<br />
Cancer Society Canterbury-<br />
West Coast Division’s<br />
fundraising dinner event. <br />
“Each year, 500 New<br />
Zealanders receive the<br />
unwelcome news that they<br />
have cancer. But while cancer<br />
doesn’t stop for Covid, the recent<br />
lockdowns severely limited our<br />
ability to fundraise during the<br />
past 18 months.<br />
“The loss of the annual<br />
daffodil day appeal was a big<br />
blow to our fundraising efforts<br />
this year and for this reason,<br />
we are really hoping that<br />
Cantabrians will support this<br />
event,” she said.<br />
