THE PLANNED container<br />
makerspace for Lyttelton, Te Puna<br />
Auaha, has been granted resource<br />
consent.<br />
The Te Puna Auaha project is<br />
finally progressing now the city<br />
council has granted consent and<br />
site development can begin.<br />
Te Puna Auaha, meaning the<br />
spring/pool of creativity/innovation<br />
is a makerspace for Lyttelton<br />
that will provide the community<br />
with a place in which people can<br />
gather to work on projects while<br />
sharing ideas, equipment, and<br />
knowledge.<br />
The planned workshop will be<br />
set up in containers with space<br />
powered and well lit to ensure<br />
safe working environments. Wi-Fi<br />
connection will also be provided.<br />
The project is being supported<br />
by local businesses.<br />
“We have support in the way of<br />
Stark Brothers lending a hand to<br />
move the single container we have<br />
on site to get that out of the way so<br />
that Fulton Hogan can come in,”<br />
project chairman Paul Dietsche said.<br />
“Stark Brothers can later move<br />
the existing container into place<br />
and bring in the three other<br />
containers we have nearby in<br />
Lyttelton. After that, Mick Bennett<br />
from Tradies for Charity will help<br />
us get the electrical wired in for the<br />
various containers,” Dietche said.<br />

HATS OFF to Project<br />
Lyttelton for its carbon coach<br />
initiative (see page 5).<br />
The organisation has<br />
appointed Helen Tulett as<br />
its coach, who will liaise<br />
with Lyttelton businesses,<br />
community groups and<br />
individuals to reduce their<br />
carbon footprint.<br />
Tulett started her work<br />
last week with Lyttelton<br />
SuperValue owner Rob de<br />
Thier, which was the first<br />
supermarket in New Zealand<br />
to remove plastic bags from<br />
checkouts.<br />
De Thier said he found<br />
the meeting with Tulett very<br />
informative.<br />
“They’ll certainly enlighten<br />
us, the meetings, especially<br />
with educating the public, that<br />
will help,” he said.<br />
De Thier is also urging<br />
customers to be nice in these<br />
trying Covid times (see page<br />
3). A staff member was pelted<br />
with a pie when a customer<br />
was asked to put on a mask.<br />

Pie thrown in supermarket<br />
• By Kristie Boland<br />
SUPERVALUE Lyttelton owner<br />
Rob de Thier has a key message<br />
for shoppers – don’t panic and<br />
be polite.<br />
A couple of weeks ago de Thier<br />
said there was an incident in the<br />
store when a member of his staff<br />
asked a customer to put their<br />
mask on.<br />
The customer responded<br />
angrily by throwing a pie at the<br />
staff member.<br />
“That doesn’t help our staff, it<br />
just puts them on edge,” de Thier<br />
said.<br />
Supermarkets SuperValue<br />
Lyttelton and Four Square<br />
Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> have put<br />
plans in place to ensure they can<br />
keep operating while Omicron<br />
continues to spread.<br />
De Their said he has made<br />
delivery available to a small<br />
number of elderly people from<br />
Lyttelton who cannot use online<br />
shopping but are concerned<br />
about going out in public.<br />
“We wanted to make it available<br />
to them so they can ring up<br />
with a list and we deliver. We<br />
have about four or five elderly<br />
people who can’t get out,” de<br />
Thier said.<br />
Supply chains also continue<br />
to be an issue for supermarkets.<br />
De Their said they are adjusting<br />
to the restrictions on products.<br />
“For me here a normal order<br />
is around 600 cartons but I<br />
could get an email saying you’re<br />
not allowed to order more than<br />
350 cartons purely because the<br />
supply chain is so busy at the<br />
moment,” he said.<br />
De Thier said a key message<br />
he wants to get out is for people<br />
to remember everyone is doing<br />
their best and to be polite.<br />
Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> Four Square<br />
owner James Grant is encouraging<br />
self-isolating customers to<br />
seek out family and friends for<br />
contactless drop-offs first before<br />
asking for deliveries.<br />
“We have a lot to do at the<br />
moment.<br />
“I’d love to say we could<br />
deliver to everyone but it’s just<br />
not realistic,” Grant said.<br />

For those who do not have<br />
that option Grant said they<br />
can deliver and will work<br />

need to.<br />
“But we are encouraging<br />
people to be self-sufficient, to<br />

PATHWAY WORK<br />
People travelling between<br />
Redcliffs and Sumner may<br />
encounter some road works<br />
over the coming weeks as work<br />
ramps up on the missing section<br />

include a new pedestrian<br />
crossing outside of SuperValue,<br />
two new pedestrian crossings<br />
at the Canterbury/London<br />

Help available to reduce carbon footprint<br />
• By Kristie Boland<br />
GOALS: Helen Tulett is New Zealand’s first ever carbon<br />
coach. A role she hopes will empower people to reduce<br />
LYTTELTON households,<br />
businesses and community<br />
groups now have a coach to<br />
support them in reducing their<br />
carbon footprint.<br />
Helen Tulett has taken the role<br />
as carbon coach, a first in New<br />
Zealand of its kind and met with<br />
local businesses last week to help<br />
them on their journey.<br />
The role is an initiative of<br />
Project Lyttelton as part of the<br />
Sustainability Fund that was<br />
set up by city council last year<br />
to assist community action on<br />
climate change and will be a oneyear<br />
pilot programme.<br />
During that time, Tulett plans<br />
to work with 150 households and<br />
hold workshops and events in<br />
conjunction with other organisations.<br />
“Our goal is to connect to<br />
people and places in Lyttelton<br />
and see where we can make a<br />
difference, to lighten the load on<br />
this planet which supports our<br />
every move,” Tulett said.<br />
Tulett started her work last<br />
week with the owner of Lyttelton<br />
SuperValue Rob de Thier.<br />
Lyttelton SuperValue has already<br />
made efforts had to reduce<br />
the shops carbon footprint and<br />
was the first supermarket in New<br />
Zealand to remove plastic bags<br />
from their checkouts.<br />
De Thier said he found the<br />
meeting with Tulett very in-<br />
their carbon footprint.<br />
formative and looks forward to<br />
working with her more in the<br />
future.<br />
“They’ll certainly enlighten<br />
us, the meetings, especially with<br />
educating the public, that will<br />
help,” de Thier said.<br />
Tulett will also meet with<br />
households in person, over the<br />
phone, by zoom or even just in<br />
their driveway to teach and work<br />
with them on a plan.<br />
“It could just be as simple for a<br />
home owner as putting in insulation.<br />
Making homes healthier is<br />
not just about the environmental<br />
impact but just making homes<br />
more comfortable for people,”<br />
Tulett said.<br />
Tulett specifically looks at energy,<br />
food, transport, water and<br />
waste to help people understand<br />
how to measure and reduce<br />
usage across these areas.<br />
Tulett said everybody is at a<br />
different place and she wants to<br />
meet them where they are at.<br />
“This is to really support people<br />
to look at what we do in our<br />
every day lives because it really is<br />
an every day decision that makes<br />
the difference,” Tulett said.<br />
There will also be specific<br />
workshops focused around<br />
• By Kristie Boland<br />
HELEN TULETT’S passion is<br />
food and food security.<br />
It was after the 2011 earthquakes<br />
she really started to<br />
look into food security and<br />
what that might look like for a<br />
community.<br />
“I could see that after a<br />
natural disaster local food networks<br />
are really important,”<br />
said Tulett.<br />
The 37-year-old grew up on a<br />
dairy farm in Lincoln and has<br />
a background in sustainability<br />
and organic farming.<br />
She studied sustainability<br />
at Canterbury University<br />
and then worked there in the<br />
sustainability office helping to<br />
teach staff and students about<br />
energy, transport, water and<br />
waste.<br />
“After the earthquake happened<br />
I wanted to get back to<br />
the land and get my hands in<br />
the soil and reconnect to my<br />
roots,” she said.<br />
Tulett returned to New<br />
those topics.<br />
“Really it’s just about bringing<br />
the community together to look<br />
at where are we and what can<br />
we do as individuals and organisations<br />
to reduce our carbon<br />
footprint,” Tulett said.<br />

Passion for food security<br />
Zealand with her partner and<br />
daughter last August after<br />
what was supposed to be a sixmonth<br />
trip to Quebec turned<br />
into a six-year stay.<br />
While in Quebec she and<br />
her partner worked on organic<br />
farms.<br />
“The local food movement in<br />
Quebec is huge, every village<br />
has a local family farmer that’s<br />
doing small scale organic<br />
farming. I really see it as a<br />
model for New Zealand,”<br />
Tulett said.<br />
When they returned they<br />
made the move to Lyttelton.<br />
“I spent my summers on<br />
Banks Peninsula. I love the geographical<br />
feeling, you really<br />
feel like you’re held in Lyttelton<br />
with the hills,” she said.<br />
Tulett hopes to see more carbon<br />
coach roles like her own<br />
around New Zealand.<br />
“I find it really exciting<br />
because I can see how much<br />
people have changed and I<br />
think its really important,”<br />
Tulett said.<br />

Ravenscar House: A biography<br />
by sally Blundell<br />
Many exciting new buildings have arisen from the rubble of post-earthquake Christchurch but none,<br />
perhaps, is as remarkable as Ravenscar House in the heart of the city’s heritage precinct. Ravenscar<br />
House: A biography explores the story of this unique, purpose-built house museum as the realisation of a<br />
long-held dream and the expression of a heart-warming act of public philanthropy.<br />
Christchurch journalist and writer Sally Blundell tells the compelling story of Jim and Susan Wakefield,<br />
whose vision was to share with their community the eclectic and impressive collection of art and<br />
artefacts that they had endowed to the charitable Ravenscar Trust. After their house on Scarborough Hill<br />
was demolished following the Canterbury earthquakes, the couple were determined to commission a<br />
new house museum, filled with a wide range of works by leading New Zealand artists such as Frances<br />
Hodgkins, Colin McCahon and Bill Sutton – and many more. Designed by renowned architects Patterson<br />
Associates, the Wakefields’ bold but elegant addition to the city was opened in 2021.<br />
Sally Blundell’s engaging and well-informed text is enhanced by family photographs, and stunning<br />
images of Ravenscar House itself, the garden it enfolds and the works within its walls. This is a unique<br />
story of resilience, architectural ingenuity and, above all, extraordinary generosity.<br />
Davos Man<br />
How the Billionaires devoured the World<br />
by Peter s Goodman<br />
The history of the last half century in America, Europe, and other major economies is in large part the<br />
story of wealth flowing upward. The most affluent people emerged from capitalism’s triumph in the Cold<br />
War to loot the peace, depriving governments of the resources needed to serve their people, and leaving<br />
them tragically unprepared for the worst pandemic in a century.<br />
Drawing on decades of experience covering the global economy, award-winning journalist Peter S.<br />
Goodman profiles five representative “Davos Men”–members of the billionaire class–chronicling how<br />
their shocking exploitation of the global pandemic has hastened a fifty-year trend of wealth centralization.<br />
Alongside this reporting, Goodman delivers textured portraits of those caught in Davos Man’s wake,<br />
including a former steelworker in the American Midwest, a Bangladeshi migrant in Qatar, a Seattle doctor<br />
on the front lines of the fight against COVID, blue-collar workers in the tenements of Buenos Aires, an<br />
African immigrant in Sweden, a textile manufacturer in Italy, an Amazon warehouse employee in New<br />
York City, and more.<br />
Spies and Lies: The Mysterious Dr<br />
Dannevill<br />
by Julie Glamuzina<br />
Hjilmar Dannevill travelled the world in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, sometimes using<br />
aliases, sometimes disguised as a male, and claiming to be researching venereal diseases on behalf of<br />
a wealthy Austrian businessman. She arrived in New Zealand in 1911 and falsely presented herself as a<br />
qualified medical professional while helping to set up a private health home run by women. In the hostile<br />
anti-foreigner environment of World War 1, doubts about her sex, identity, qualifications and motivations,<br />
as well as suspicions about her relationships with women, drew the attention of police and military<br />
authorities. In May 1917, although she tried to defend herself, she was declared a German spy and<br />
imprisoned. Like many other women who formed transnational networks stretching across Europe, Asia,<br />
the Americas and the Pacific to New Zealand, in defiance of sex-role stereotypes, Dannevill pursued life,<br />
work and female relationships around the globe. According to the authorities she was ‘a thorouh humbug<br />
and fraud’ and ‘just the sort of person who would take up such a job as a political spy or pimp.’ But who<br />
was Hjilmar Dannevill? Why did she lie? Why was she persecuted? Was she a spy?<br />
Jump: From the Streets to the Suites<br />
by larry Miller<br />
One of the most successful Black businessmen in the US, who has led Nike’s Jordan Brand from a $200M<br />
sneaker company to a $4B global apparel juggernaut, tells the remarkable story of his rise from gangland<br />
violence to the pinnacles of international business. Jump tells Larry Miller’s journey from the violent streets of<br />
West Philly in the 1960s to the highest echelons of American sports and industry. Miller wound up in jail more<br />
than once, especially as a teenager. But he immersed himself in the educational opportunities, eventually took<br />
advantage of a Pennsylvania state education-release program offered to incarcerated people, and was able<br />
to graduate with honors from Temple University. When revealing his gangland past caused him to lose his<br />
first major job opportunity, Miller vowed to keep it a secret. He climbed the corporate ladder with a number of<br />
major companies such as Kraft Foods, Campbell’s Soup, and Jantzen, until Nike hired him to run its domestic<br />
apparel operations. All along, Miller lived two lives: the secret of his violent past haunted him, invading his<br />
days with migraines and his sleep with nightmares of getting hauled back to jail. More than a rags-to-riches<br />
story, Jump is also a passionate appeal for criminal justice reform and expanded educational opportunities for<br />
incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people across the United States. Drawing on his powerful personal story,<br />
as well as his vast and well-connected network, Miller plans to use Jump as a launching point to help expand<br />
such opportunities and to provide an aspirational journey for those who need hope.<br />

There are four female<br />
volunteers at the brigade: Norris,<br />
a qualified fire fighter; Annabelle<br />
Bain, operational support; Mel<br />
Dixon, a rural fire fighter; and<br />
Dee Tyler, also a rural fire fighter.<br />
Fire and Emergency New<br />
Zealand’s deputy chief executive<br />
Raewyn Bleakley said while more<br />
women have become involved in<br />
the Fire and Emergency workforce<br />
in recent years, only six per<br />
cent of its career firefighters were<br />
women, and 20 per cent of its<br />
volunteers.<br />
However, women made up<br />
41 per cent of management and<br />
support roles.<br />
Norris said being a part of the<br />
fire brigade meant being a part of<br />
another family. It’s an enjoyable<br />
hobby she is passionate about.<br />
“I think it’s important . . . It’s<br />
just about giving back, doing<br />
something you’re passionate<br />
about and you enjoy,” Norris<br />
said.<br />
Bleakley said Fire and Emergency<br />
wanted to ensure the<br />
continuation of attracting and<br />
retaining people from all walks<br />
of life.<br />
“We acknowledge and celebrate<br />
the achievements of all women<br />
within our organisation and<br />
everyone who supports them to<br />
succeed,” she said.<br />

Running event for<br />
all ages to go ahead<br />
THE BRAD Richards Building<br />
Sea2Sky Challenge is set to go<br />
ahead on Sunday.<br />
The triathlon, duathlon and<br />
trail running event for all ages<br />
and abilities is confirmed for<br />
Sunday at Scarborough<br />
Beach. Event organisers said<br />
they are confident in their ability<br />
to host under the Covid-19<br />
protection framework red light<br />
setting.<br />
This confidence comes from<br />
having delivered the past<br />
two events safely under strict<br />
guidelines and gaining positive<br />
feedback.<br />
Now into it’s seventh year, the<br />
Brad Richards Building Sea2Sky<br />
Challenge is thriving and with<br />
the support of local businessman<br />
Brad Richards it continues to<br />
grow.<br />
Richards lives in Redcliffs<br />
and his building company has<br />
many of their projects in the<br />
harbour-bays area in which the<br />
event is set. He is a recreational<br />
runner, mountain biker and can<br />
be found catching waves at Scarborough,<br />
when he isn’t training<br />
for long distance running races<br />
and the Coast to Coast.<br />
Richards’ daughter Willow has<br />
competed in the event alongside<br />
his nephew and niece. Plus, he<br />
will compete in the trail run<br />
event at the Sea2Sky Challenge<br />
this year for a second time, having<br />
finished 15th overall in 2021.<br />
“It’s great to be able to support<br />
a local event that utilises the<br />
beautiful area we live in with the<br />
challenging hills and stunning<br />
trails,” Richards said.<br />
“My hope is the event continues<br />
to grow year on year,” he<br />
said.<br />
The Sea2Sky Challenge has a<br />
triathlon, duathlon and trail run<br />
options for juniors (five years and<br />
up) through to Masters of 80+<br />
years. It is considered one of the<br />
most beautiful races of the kiwi<br />
circuit and competitors will find<br />
it a unique course.<br />
Event director John Newsom<br />
said they have made changes<br />
such having 15 athletes start<br />
every 30 seconds and standing<br />
2m apart and limiting numbers<br />
as well as a range of other safety<br />
measures.<br />
Memorial futsal<br />
tournament planned<br />
WHILE THERE will be no<br />
public remembrance services for<br />
the anniversary of the mosque<br />
attacks, a Lyttelton group has<br />
organised a memorial futsal<br />
tournament to bring together<br />
local families.<br />
Sow A Lyttel Seed joined<br />
together with the Sakinah<br />
Community Trust, Lyttelton<br />
Recreation Centre and Mainland<br />
Football to have a memorial<br />
futsal tournament next week.<br />
Lyttelton resident Noraini<br />
Milne’s 14-year-old son Sayyad,<br />
was killed at Masjid An-nur<br />
(also known as the Al Noor<br />
Mosque).<br />
Milne and her friends Cathy<br />
Lum-Webb and Crile set up Sow<br />
A Lyttel Seed, a group that gives<br />
grieving families opportunities<br />
for growth, healing and well-being<br />
in and around Lyttelton.<br />
They have organised an<br />
invite-only tournament is to celebrate<br />
young shuhadas (Arabic<br />
term for martyrs).<br />
“It’s to remember our young<br />
shuhadas and to inspire the<br />
youth, sport is a great way of<br />
expressing yourself,” Lum-Webb<br />
said.<br />
While Covid restrictions have<br />
made things more difficult,<br />
the event is still able to go<br />
forward with changes and safety<br />
Taken in early 2019, Sayyad<br />
Milne (second from the left<br />
standing) and his futsal<br />
team from Cashmere High<br />
School.<br />
measures in place.<br />
Mainland Football is supporting<br />
the event through funding<br />
they got from New Zealand<br />
Cricket to support the families<br />
affected by <strong>March</strong> 15.<br />
“Futsal was a connection that<br />
these kids had so we want to<br />
support the families in any way<br />
we can,” Mainland Football<br />
ethnic and diversity inclusion<br />
programme manager Hussain<br />
Hanif said.<br />
The event is also in conjunction<br />
with Unity Week,<br />
co-ordinated by the Sakinah<br />
Community Trust.<br />
Unity Week will be held in<br />
Christchurch from <strong>March</strong> 15<br />
to 22 to harness and build on<br />
the sense of unity that emerged<br />
in the city and the rest of New<br />
Zealand after the mosque<br />
attacks.<br />

Locals helping locals<br />
– can you help?<br />
AS THE 2021/22 financial year comes to a<br />
close, the Sumner Ferrymead Foundation<br />
is reflecting on the past year.<br />
“It’s been a challenging year, as it<br />
has been for many of those who live in<br />
our community,” Sumner Ferrymead<br />
Foundation treasurer, Barry Geddes said.<br />
“We have had more requests for support<br />
this year from individuals<br />
and community organisations than<br />
we normally receive. But, at the same<br />
time the community has been incredibly<br />
generous with their sponsorship of our<br />
scholarships and awards programme. This<br />
year we have even more scholarships and<br />
awards on offer, and nearly all of them are<br />
sponsored by individuals or businesses<br />
who live in our community,” Geddes said.<br />
Over the last few months, the Sumner<br />
Ferrymead Foundation has completed a<br />
strategic review of the community-based<br />
charity and have identified a number of<br />
interesting opportunities.<br />
“Of course, opportunities bring<br />
challenges,” chairwoman Jane Paterson<br />
said: “And one of them is finding some new<br />
trustees with both general and specific skill<br />
sets. One challenge we face is the need to<br />
build our presence on social media, and<br />
given the increased demand for support,<br />
another challenge is to raise funds for our<br />
grants programme. We also have a couple<br />
of trustees that have signalled that it is<br />
time for them to retire after many years of<br />
service so we will be looking for a treasurer<br />
in the near future too.”<br />
While the Sumner Ferrymead<br />
Foundation is sorry to lose these long<br />
serving trustees, they will retain their<br />
close links with the foundation through<br />
Friends of the Foundation.<br />
“We want to recognise the contribution<br />
of not only past trustees but also our<br />
sponsors and donors,” Julie Cunningham<br />
said.<br />
Julie has been a trustee since<br />
the Sumner Ferrymead Foundation was<br />
established some 25 years ago, and is<br />
taking on the responsibility<br />
for establishing Friends of the Foundation.<br />
“I did wonder if it was time to retire<br />
but as long as I can contribute, I want to<br />
stay involved as we are going through an<br />
exciting growth phase, and we are making<br />
a positive difference to people’s lives.<br />
However, it will be good to have some new<br />
enthusiastic community minded people<br />
join us,” Cunningham said.<br />

Autumn Gardening!<br />
Protect your home and garden<br />
this autumn. As temperatures<br />
drop pests like rats, mice, ants<br />
and flies move indoors for<br />
warmth, food or hibernation.<br />
Slugs and snails or frost can<br />
create problems outside.<br />
There are a MEGA range<br />
of bulb varieties, autumn<br />
is the perfect time to plant<br />
for spring flowering. Bulbs<br />
stay dormant through colder<br />
weather until they are ready<br />
to bloom in spring.<br />
Autumn is a great time to<br />
give your lawn some T.L.C.<br />
This includes weed killing,<br />
fertilizing, fungus control,<br />
dethatching or re-sowing.<br />
Hedging is a great way to<br />
enhance your garden and<br />
add privacy. Autumn is<br />
an ideal time to plant and<br />
establish hedging, and also<br />
prune preexisting hedges.<br />

Leading volunteer firefighters<br />
through the tough times<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News<br />
continues its series on<br />
our fire chiefs. Reporter<br />
Kristie Boland talks<br />
to Lyttelton Volunteer<br />
Fire Brigade chief Mark<br />
Buckley<br />
FROM CUBS to Scouts to<br />
Venturers to the fire brigade,<br />
Mark Buckley has lived every<br />
stage of his life being a part of a<br />
pack.<br />
The 56-year-old chief fire officer<br />
and Queen’s Service Medal<br />
recipient said he had strong<br />
leaders who played a big part in<br />
his life growing up.<br />
For the past 15 years, he has<br />
been that type of leader himself.<br />
Buckley grew up in Lyttelton<br />
at a time when most families<br />
had lived there for many years,<br />
generation after generation.<br />
Mark is the third generation of<br />
Buckleys living in the port.<br />
His parents worked there all<br />
their lives, his father a butcher<br />
and his mother an accountant.<br />
This meant Buckley spent of<br />
most of his childhood in Lyttelton.<br />
He kept out of trouble with<br />
his involvement in Cubs, Scouts<br />
and Venturers and playing<br />
rugby.<br />
It was through Venturers he<br />
first got involved with the fire<br />
brigade.<br />
“That had a great impact on<br />
my life. I met some really nice<br />
people and had some really good<br />
influences as far as leaders go,”<br />
said Buckley.<br />
In fact, Buckley grew up with<br />
Andrew Norris, the chief fire<br />
officer for the Governors <strong>Bay</strong><br />
Volunteer Fire Station. The<br />
pair competed in firefighting<br />
competitions through Venturers<br />
and eventually joined Lyttelton<br />
Volunteer Fire Brigade around<br />
the same time.<br />
Before that, when he finished<br />
his apprenticeship as a<br />
boilermaker welder. Buckley<br />
spent a couple of years living in<br />
Australia.<br />
“Back then, going to Australia<br />
was like going on your big OE,”<br />
said Buckley.<br />
When he returned to Lyttelton<br />
in 1986, at 21, Buckley joined the<br />
Lyttelton Volunteer Fire Brigade.<br />
While still volunteering at the<br />
brigade, he worked as a transport<br />
manager at Stark Brothers.<br />
He worked there up until six<br />
years ago when he became the<br />
owner of Ocean Spray Transport<br />
Ltd.<br />
Mark is married to Belinda<br />
who has been his support for the<br />
past 25 years.<br />
They have two sons at home,<br />
Logan, 21, who works for Air<br />
New Zealand and Connor, 18,<br />
who has just started a degree in<br />
sports analysis at Canterbury<br />
AWARD: Buckley with Governor-General Dame Patsy<br />
Reddy after receiving his Queen’s Service Medal for<br />
services to Fire and Emergency New Zealand and the<br />
community.<br />
University.<br />
Last year, Connor joined the<br />
fire brigade.<br />
“I thought what I’ve been<br />
through over the last 12 or 13<br />
years in particular would have<br />
put him off but he seems to be<br />
very driven and dedicated to<br />
becoming a firefighter so good<br />
on him,” said Buckley.<br />
Buckley has been a part of the<br />
brigade for 35 years now, the<br />
last 13 years of that have had it’s<br />
challenges.<br />
“The earthquakes brought the<br />
best of our people to the surface,”<br />
said Buckley about his crew.<br />
“We spent two and a half<br />
weeks living, eating, breathing,<br />
sleeping on station over that period.<br />
I think we attended to 650<br />
calls from the community, we<br />
basically ran 24/7,” he said.<br />
Just as they were getting on<br />
with life after the earthquakes,<br />
the brigade took another hit.<br />
The Lyttelton Volunteer Fire<br />
Brigade lost its station officer<br />
Brad Fletcher in 2014, when the<br />
lift he was working on at the port<br />
toppled over.<br />
The brigade crew was first on<br />
the scene to the incident.<br />
“Turning up to not only one of<br />
your good friends but one of the<br />
members of the brigade, that was<br />
a very tough time,” said Buckley.<br />
Not long after that there were<br />
two significant ship fires, one<br />
after the other.<br />
“That also took a strain on the<br />
brigade as far as the commitment<br />
to ship firefighting. All this happened<br />
within about 12 months of<br />
each other,” said Buckley.<br />
On coping with the tragedies<br />
he has faced, Buckley said: “I<br />
don’t know that you can put it<br />
into words. It’s really a matter of<br />
years of dealing with that type of<br />
thing and the training that has<br />
gone on.”<br />
“I couldn’t stand there and do<br />
it all myself, it’s all very well I’m<br />
the chief but in all honesty, if I<br />
didn’t have the highly driven,<br />
highly trained, highly motivated<br />
people in the brigade then I<br />
wouldn’t be able to do what I do,”<br />
Buckley said.<br />
Buckley’s efforts have not gone<br />
unnoticed.<br />
In 2019, he was awarded a<br />
Queen’s Service Medal for services<br />
to Fire and Emergency New<br />

The volunteer brigade was part of the firefighting effort.<br />
Zealand and the community.<br />
“I took that as a sign that people<br />
do realise what we do in the<br />
brigade,” said Buckley.<br />
And that appreciation goes<br />
both ways.<br />
Buckley said he loves the people<br />
in his community and that’s<br />
why he has been a part of the fire<br />
service for so long.<br />
“It’s doing the best for your<br />
community and it’s the camaraderie<br />
within the fire brigade and<br />
the people that you get to meet.”<br />
He said the brigade is a very<br />
tight group.<br />
“They’re people who are very<br />
driven and look after each other,<br />
very professional,” he said.<br />
Next year the Lyttelton<br />
Volunteer Fire Brigade will<br />
celebrate its 150th jubilee which<br />
Buckley hopes to be a big affair.<br />

The <strong>Harbour</strong> Light Theatre<br />
THE ICONIC <strong>Harbour</strong> Light<br />
Cinema, 24 London St, with<br />
its twin towers in Spanish<br />
Mission style and its art nouveau<br />
detailing, dominated Lyttelton’s<br />
main street from the day it was<br />
completed.<br />
Designed by J S and M J<br />
Guthrie, built in 1916 and<br />
officially opened in <strong>March</strong> 1917,<br />
it became a central focus for<br />
entertainment in the port town.<br />
Opening night was an eagerly<br />
anticipated and well attended<br />
event with entertainment by the<br />
Lyttelton Marine Band, speeches,<br />
and an intriguing selection of<br />
motion pictures:<br />
“. . . the first picture being<br />
one of Salisbury’s Wild Life<br />
pictures depicting wild birds and<br />
animals in their natural state. A<br />
humorous study When in Rome<br />
also pleased the audience, and<br />
the popular film favourite, Clara<br />
Kimball Young, appeared in The<br />
Deep Purple, a drama of great<br />
heart interest.”<br />

Initially designed with a 550<br />
seat capacity for viewing motion<br />
pictures screened by the Lyttelton<br />
Picture Company, in 1920 a<br />
stage area was developed which<br />
provided entertainment companies<br />
with a dedicated venue in<br />
Lyttelton.<br />
Shows included theatrical<br />
performances, dance and song<br />
troupes, illusionists, hypnotists,<br />
vaudeville acts, comedians,<br />
public talks; all most welcomed<br />
by local residents.<br />
In 1920 a successful record-breaking<br />
attempt to play<br />
the piano continuously for 100<br />
hours was completed at midnight,<br />
by firm-fingered Albert<br />
Steele of Auckland.<br />
In 1925 a landslip in the<br />
clay bank behind the building<br />
Opening night of the Kreamy Milk Bar<br />
during half-time in 1935.<br />
The<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong><br />
Light<br />
Cinema<br />
caused significant damage to the<br />
relatively new stage area, though<br />
thankfully not to the movie theatre,<br />
which was able to continue<br />
operating until repair to the<br />
stage was completed.<br />
‘Talkies’ arrived at the <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
Light in 1930 and attendance<br />
at the cinema continued to<br />
be a popular local pastime. The<br />
Kreamy Milk Bar, opened in<br />
1935, was a cool place for young<br />
lads and lasses to pass the interval<br />
during performances.<br />
In the 1960s and 1970s,<br />
ownership and usage changed<br />
hands a number of times. In<br />
1965 Masters’ Enterprises<br />
bought the building and ran the<br />
cinema, in 1970, new owner Leo<br />
Quinlivan undertook a major<br />
refurbishment and instead ran it<br />
as a theatre venue. In 1980 film<br />
librarian Frederick E Read was<br />
the last to operate the place as<br />
a cinema, until 1983 when the<br />
building was again sold. Then<br />
owner Peter Harris carried out<br />
extensive structural changes and<br />
opened a restaurant, complete<br />
with stage and a squash court<br />
out the back.<br />
Last owners, Tom Jones and<br />
Helen Hobson took on the grand<br />
old building in 1988 and ran it<br />
as a successful and much loved<br />
nightclub and performance /<br />
event venue. Patrons stepped<br />
through the front doors and<br />
were welcomed into the rather<br />
grand lobby complete with glamorous<br />
sweeping staircases, then<br />
to be ushered into the cave-like<br />
inner sanctum to take part in a<br />
wide variety of events.<br />
It was also Tom and Helen’s<br />
home, until the earthquakes<br />
caused extensive damage to the<br />
building and it underwent a<br />
controlled demolition in April<br />
2011. They sold the empty site in<br />
2021.<br />

Every Friday-Sunday for the<br />
month of <strong>March</strong>, 10am-4pm.<br />
By artists Karen Greenslade,<br />
Carolyn Currie and Vic Mangan.<br />
Through its responses to the<br />
physical landscape and natural<br />
elements of the Banks Peninsula,<br />
Seeing the Lines reframes<br />
the region’s native Taonga by<br />
foregrounding it in the local<br />
environment and the art of this<br />
exhibition. In this group show at<br />
Stoddart Cottage Gallery, Karen<br />
Greenslade, Carolyn Currie and<br />
Vic Mangan seek to counter<br />
plant blindness, when plants<br />
exist as a backdrop to our lives<br />
and art prioritises the human<br />
figure. The artists have moved<br />
their collaborative art practices<br />
away from purely decorative floral<br />
vistas, to an engagement with<br />
the less obviously aesthetically<br />
engaging endemic plants of the<br />
place inhabited, reflecting the<br />
contemporary shift in concerns<br />
towards ecology and the local<br />
environment.<br />

Helping the kids buy their first home<br />
THE AVERAGE asking price in<br />
all regions across the country has<br />
reached record heights, making it a<br />
tough and competitive landscape for<br />
first home buyers, who will now need<br />
a deposit of $187,000 for the national<br />
average asking price and a whopping<br />
$250,00 for the Auckland average<br />
asking price.<br />
So, what can you do to<br />
help your kids finance their future?<br />
How it usually works<br />
The most common case of parents<br />
stepping in is where the kids have 10<br />
per cent or 15 per cent of a deposit<br />
saved and Mum and Dad are topping<br />
that up to get them to 20 per cent.<br />
There are several ways you can go<br />
about leveraging the equity in your<br />
own assets to provide the shortfall the<br />
kids need.<br />
A good number of young<br />
savers have been adding more<br />
to their KiwiSaver fund this<br />
year, so it’s accrued very well and is a<br />
great starting point for a deposit.<br />
Know what you’re letting<br />
yourself in for<br />
If you are well resourced, you as<br />
parents can provide a guarantee on<br />
the whole loan, but this is a big step,<br />
and unusual, as most of you will want<br />
your children to be responsible for the<br />
mortgage.<br />
Be clear about the responsibility you<br />
are prepared to shoulder, and bear in<br />
mind the children still have to prove<br />
they can service the loan, and with<br />
increasingly stringent lending criteria,<br />
without a good deposit, securing<br />
finance could be tricky.<br />
Remember, it can just be a temporary<br />
solution to help them get a head<br />
start with a foot on the property ladder,<br />
which is becoming increasingly<br />
difficult without parental help.<br />
This can be a temporary<br />
arrangement, with them repaying<br />
the money when they sell the house,<br />
ensuring they leave you with a decent<br />
retirement nest<br />
egg.<br />
Put everything in writing<br />
Document everything you agree on<br />
to avoid getting in a tangle, including<br />
what happens to the money if your<br />
child and their partner break up.<br />
If it is going to be a gift<br />
of money with no strings<br />
attached, viewed as an early inheritance,<br />
then make this clear to the<br />
child and the rest of the family.<br />
Do you expect the money to be<br />
repaid? If so, consider having the legal<br />
document state it does not have to be<br />
repaid until the property is sold – it<br />
doesn’t bear interest, it comes behind<br />
the mortgage.<br />
