Police station burglars snapped<br />
• By Tony Simons<br />
THESE ARE the brazen<br />
burglars who broke into the<br />
Lyttelton police station last<br />
month, stealing a police cap and<br />
high visibility jacket.<br />
Police have released the<br />
photos from security cameras at<br />
the station.<br />
The offenders have not yet<br />
been identified.<br />
The security camera<br />
footage shows a white<br />
four-door hatchback<br />
pulled up outside the<br />
station on Sumner Rd<br />
about 1am on December<br />
14.<br />
Three occupants try<br />
to get into the station<br />
building before breaking<br />
into the police garage next door.<br />
Sergeant Anna Partridge said<br />
Anna<br />
Partridge<br />
the offenders broke the<br />
security camera on the<br />
station building before<br />
going to the garage.<br />
She said it was likely<br />
the offenders were<br />
from outside Lyttelton.<br />
The car was stolen in<br />
Christchurch where it was<br />
later found.<br />
“We’ve now increased<br />
security in the garage area as a<br />
result,” said Partridge.<br />
Lyttelton police are currently<br />
located in four separate<br />
temporary buildings as a result<br />
of the earthquakes.<br />
•Anyone with<br />
information about the<br />
break-in should contact<br />
police on 105 and<br />
reference file number<br />
P052930460, or call Crime<br />
Stoppers - 0800 555 111.<br />

• Tony Simons<br />
POLICE BELIEVE they have<br />
located at least one of the<br />
offenders allegedly responsible<br />
for the break-ins at Lyttelton<br />
businesses last month.<br />
No arrests have been made,<br />
but police confirmed a young<br />
person, aged in their early teens,<br />
who was involved in the London<br />
St break-ins has been spoken<br />
to and is going through a youth<br />
process. Inquiries are ongoing<br />
to identify and locate others<br />
believed to be involved.<br />
No arrest is possible because of<br />
the age of the alleged offender.<br />
The SuperValue, sushi<br />
shop and Lyttelton Arms<br />
were all broken into early on<br />
Boxing Day with a cash register<br />
and cigarettes among the<br />
items stolen. Police intercepted<br />
a vehicle on Rutherford St,<br />
Woolston, using road spikes,<br />
about 30min later. The occupants<br />
fled but the stolen property was<br />
recovered.<br />

Surprise over liquor ban criticism<br />
A KEY driver of the<br />
Woolston liquor ban is<br />
surprised and concerned<br />
businesses have little faith in<br />
the police to enforce it.<br />
Businesses on Ferry Rd<br />
say they have contacted<br />
police many times since<br />
the ban came into force in<br />
December, but they have<br />
seen little action from the<br />
police.<br />
Waitai Coastal-Burwood-<br />
Linwood chair Paul<br />
McMahon<br />
(right) said<br />
he would like<br />
to hear more<br />
from the<br />
community so<br />
he can discuss<br />
with police and see what the<br />
issues might be.<br />
“In my role as chair of the<br />
community board, I will be<br />
having regular catch up with<br />
police constables.”<br />
He said it is still early days<br />
News<br />
on the ban and he recommended<br />
people to continue<br />
reporting breaches.<br />
McMahon was elected<br />
to the community board<br />
in the local body elections<br />
in October. He had been a<br />
vocal voice in the Woolston<br />
community about alcoholrelated<br />
issues. Liquorland<br />
manager Evan Baker said he<br />
and his colleagues phoned<br />
police nine times and sent<br />
an additional email to 105 in<br />
the week after Christmas.<br />
Over the weekend, he<br />
and another member of<br />
the community actively<br />
contacted Crime Stoppers to<br />
move on some “streeties.”<br />
While they have moved<br />
on from the initial location,<br />
which was outside the<br />
Red Cross Woolston shop<br />
and the Discount Vapor<br />
Woolston, Baker said they<br />
are now sitting in front of<br />
the community library.<br />

CANOE RACING NEW ZEALAND<br />
ON THE WATER: Tim Grammer, pictured<br />
running the Kepler Track, was on his<br />
ocean racing ski in Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
when a boat hit him.<br />
Multi-sporter hospitalised after<br />
being hit by boat on harbour<br />
• By Sam Sherwood<br />
LYING IN his hospital bed with<br />
broken ribs, cracked vertebrae,<br />
and a collapsed lung after being<br />
run over by a boat while going<br />
for a paddle, Tim Grammer says<br />
he “couldn’t be any luckier.”<br />
The former international<br />
multisport athlete was out with<br />
some friends on their ocean<br />
racing skis in Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
on Saturday afternoon.<br />
Grammer, 55, said the group<br />
had paddled into the wind before<br />
turning around and heading<br />
towards their next marker when<br />
he heard a boat coming from<br />
behind.<br />
“I looked around and thought<br />
‘oh he’s heading straight at me’,<br />
so I tried to turn left to get out<br />
of the way and I realised I’m<br />
not fast enough to get out of the<br />
way,” he said.<br />
“It was just sheer terror<br />
building up in my mind the<br />
horrific thought of the bow of the<br />
boat coming over the top of me<br />
at full speed.”<br />
The bow hit his back, pushing<br />
him under the water as it went<br />
over him. When he resurfaced,<br />
he saw his fiberglass ski split in<br />
two.<br />
“The first thing I did was ‘can I<br />
feel my legs, is my spine severed,<br />
and have I got any major cuts<br />
from the propellers’.<br />
“It was just this big wash of<br />
relief over me that I could still<br />
feel my legs.”<br />
He then called out to the boat,<br />
which had stopped about 20m<br />
away, and asked them to help<br />
him.<br />
“I kind of knew I didn’t have<br />
any major injuries but I knew<br />
something was wrong and I<br />
needed to get to the hospital real<br />
quick.”<br />
The boat returned to him<br />
and he was dragged onboard.<br />
Grammer recalled lying on the<br />
floor of the boat struggling to<br />
breathe.<br />
“I thought I was going to<br />
suffocate and die in the boat. I<br />
was trying to suck in air and I<br />
was terrified.”<br />
Eventually, they were able to<br />
get to the boat ramp where an<br />
ambulance then took him to<br />
Christchurch Hospital.<br />
Grammer had a cut to his<br />
head which required stitches,<br />
four broken ribs, a punctured<br />
and collapsed lung, and several<br />
cracked vertebrae. He remained<br />
in hospital on Monday, and<br />
expects his recovery to take a<br />
couple of months.<br />
“If I didn’t have my lifejacket<br />
on the spinal damage would’ve<br />
been a lot worse . . . I couldn’t<br />
be any luckier. It’s like a death<br />
situation, isn’t it.”<br />
He’s determined he will get<br />
back in the water as soon as he’s<br />
allowed.<br />

Care for your Garden<br />
Early watering is your best way<br />
to care for plants during the hot<br />
summer months. Water in the<br />
morning before the day gets too<br />
hot; however, if you have to water<br />
a thirsty plant at night, do so!<br />
It’s time to fertilise, another<br />
application of fertiliser to hungry<br />
plants like tomatoes will ensure<br />
your plants are giving their best<br />
yield. Liquid fertilisers reach plants<br />
quickly, pellets are slow release.<br />
Use bird netting to protect your<br />
summer fruits from birds and<br />
other pests. The flexible netting<br />
will still allow garden pollinators<br />
like bees to get to the yummy<br />
flowers of your trees.<br />
Planting Time<br />
It’s a great time for heat-loving<br />
plants as long days and warm<br />
nights are right for producers<br />
such as courgettes, tomatoes<br />
and cucumbers. Companion<br />
plant with marigolds and basil to<br />
help ward off pests. Have you<br />
got space? Pumpkins are an<br />
excellent crop but require lots<br />
of room to stretch their legs.<br />
If you are looking to top up your<br />
vegetable crops, try sweetcorn,<br />
spring onion, lettuce, and<br />
eggplant.<br />
Give your Soil a Break<br />
As the summer sun beams<br />
down on your garden,<br />
consider helping your soil<br />
retain water by laying organic<br />
matter such as straw or<br />
bark. Bark is available in a<br />
variety of colours and sizes<br />
to suit your garden aesthetic.<br />
Strawberries love a bit of<br />
straw to wick away moisture<br />
from their crowns and send it<br />
down into the soil and roots.<br />

The House of Now and Then<br />
by Jo Dixon<br />
You should leave the past in the past ... or should you? A vividly<br />
told, jaw-droppingly twisty and wholly engaging story about<br />
the consequences of discovering the truth. For readers of Sally<br />
Hepworth, Nicola Moriarty and Adele Parks.<br />
After a humiliating public scandal, Olivia is hiding from the press<br />
in a remote Tasmanian house when an unknown man knocks on her<br />
door, seeking Pippa, a woman who once lived there. His father, Jeremy,<br />
has died, leaving behind a letter for this mysterious woman. Olivia wants to<br />
help, but can she risk revealing her own sordid past?<br />
Thirty years earlier, bohemian wild-child Pippa and her best friend Jeremy<br />
spend a perfect summer in the house. Pippa falls deeply in love with local<br />
boy Leo, and they begin to plan a life of adventure together, much to the<br />
displeasure of his conservative and controlling family. One night Leo leaves<br />
the house to confront his parents ... and is never seen again.<br />
As Olivia is drawn into solving the mystery, the unexpected and tragic story<br />
of Pippa, Jeremy and Leo is slowly uncovered. At the same time, a path to<br />
reclaiming her own life opens, if only she has the courage to take it.<br />
Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six<br />
by Lisa Unger<br />
Three couples rent a luxury cabin in the woods for a weekend getaway to<br />
die for in this chilling locked-room thriller<br />
What could be more restful, more restorative, than a weekend getaway<br />
with family and friends? Hannah’s loving and generous tech-mogul brother<br />
found the listing for the secluded dream house online. It’s his birthday gift<br />
to Hannah and includes their spouses and another couple. The six friends<br />
need this trip with good food, good company and lots of R & R, far from<br />
the chatter and pressures of modern life.<br />
But the idyllic weekend is about to turn into a nightmare. A deadly storm<br />
is brewing. The rental host seems just a little too present. The personal<br />
chef reveals that their beautiful house has a spine-tingling history. And the<br />
friends have their own complicated past, with secrets that run blood deep.<br />
How well does Hannah know her brother, her own husband? Can she<br />
trust her best friend? And who is the new boyfriend, crashing their party?<br />
Meanwhile, someone is determined to ruin the weekend, looking to exact a<br />
payback for deeds long buried. Who is the stranger among them?<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong> water testing under fire<br />
• By Tony Simons<br />
THE CONFUSION over health<br />
warnings at Lyttelton beaches has<br />
prompted Te Pataka o Rakaihautu<br />
Banks Peninsula Community<br />
Board chairman Reuben<br />
Davidson to call for better coordination<br />
and communication<br />
between the many agencies<br />
involved in<br />
beach water<br />
testing.<br />
The only<br />
harbour beaches<br />
now graded<br />
safe to swim at<br />
are Cass <strong>Bay</strong>,<br />
Reuben<br />
Davidson<br />
Charteris <strong>Bay</strong><br />
and Church<br />
<strong>Bay</strong>, but that<br />
only became clear after confusion<br />
over sampling, testing and<br />
communication last month.<br />
Excrement bacteria in Cass<br />
and Corsair <strong>Bay</strong>s was found<br />
to be 10 times over the safe<br />
limit on December 29 and the<br />
readings caused immediate public<br />
confusion over which harbour<br />
beaches were safe to swim at.<br />
Community and Public Health<br />
Te Mana Ora immediately put a<br />
“no swimming” warning in place<br />
at Cass <strong>Bay</strong>. It turns out Corsair<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> had already been graded not<br />
suitable for swimming, but there<br />
were no warning signs out.<br />
Beach water sampling and<br />
testing is done by Environment<br />
Canterbury. Te Mana Ora issues<br />
warnings as needed, another<br />
agency, Land Air Water Aotearoa<br />
reports on beach safety, and the<br />
city council is responsible for<br />
putting up signs.<br />
“What could possibly go<br />
wrong,” Davidson said.<br />
“The testing and<br />
communicating of water quality<br />
results has simply not met public<br />
expectations,” he said.<br />
This multi-agency approach<br />
can lead to a lag from testing to<br />
notification which is particularly<br />
bad across Christmas and New<br />
Year, which are peak times for<br />
visitors to the bays, he said.<br />
“The testing and reporting issue<br />
needs to be urgently addressed<br />
while we continue work on<br />
solutions to ensure good harbour<br />
health for the future.”<br />
Samples taken by ECan at Cass<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> after December 29 showed<br />
bacteria levels had dropped but<br />
it took 12 days and several tests<br />
before the all-clear was finally<br />
given by Te Mana Ora.<br />
Medical Officer of Health Dr<br />
Cheryl Brunton said the very<br />
high bacteria count had no clear<br />

source and wasn’t rainfall affected,<br />
which is why the decision was<br />
made to keep the warning in<br />
place for so long. She said it was<br />
unlikely to have been caused by<br />
large numbers of swimmers in the<br />
water that one day.<br />
ECan surface water science<br />
team leader Shirley Hayward<br />
agreed no one was sure what<br />
caused the pollution but it<br />
could have been caused by large<br />
number of people using the bays<br />
at the time, or it could have been<br />
someone dumping wastewater, or<br />
even dog faeces.<br />

it closed in the early 1930s. A<br />

Woolston’s Annette Hobby<br />
hopes someone will find the<br />
plaque, which was stolen near<br />
the Johnson Bridge, Heathcote<br />
River.<br />
“I was saddened that someone<br />
would have done such a thing.<br />
They should feel ashamed of<br />
themselves for taking historic<br />
plaques from the city. The<br />
council goes to great lengths<br />
to beautify our city and then<br />
[people] go and do things like<br />
this,” she said.<br />
Hobby notified city council<br />
through the Snap Send Solve<br />
app.

Bid to buy Summers sculpture<br />
• By Tony Simons<br />
A SMALL GROUP of Mt Pleasant<br />
residents are well on the way to<br />
buying a Llew Summers sculpture<br />
for $95,000 that will be placed<br />
at the Mt Pleasant Community<br />
Centre.<br />
The sculpture named Flight is<br />
a bronze piece with a wingspan<br />
of more than 2m. Its origins were<br />
a small marble work Summers<br />
carved in 2014, which he then cast<br />
in bronze before upscaling it.<br />
Once installed it will be visible<br />
to all traffic travelling on the<br />
causeway.<br />
Resident Lynne Ritchie said<br />
they got the idea to buy Summers’<br />
piece because he lived and worked<br />
in Mt Pleasant, and they are all big<br />
fans of his work.<br />
After just five months they are<br />
more than two-thirds towards the<br />
target.<br />
Summers died in 2019 aged<br />
72. His funeral was held at the<br />
community centre in 2019.<br />
His partner Robyn Webster<br />
said Mt Pleasant was his<br />
türangawaewae.<br />
“He had a deep and abiding love<br />
of birds and spent many hours<br />
planting their property to attract<br />
them back,” she said.<br />
The sculptor spent most of his<br />
life in Christchurch and this will<br />
be the first of his large bronze<br />
pieces to be owned by the city.<br />
The city council owns others<br />
works by Summers but they are<br />
stone or concrete.<br />
Summers’ large figures earned<br />
him fans and critics and were<br />
often controversial, celebrating<br />
the nude human body and<br />
including strong religious<br />
messages.<br />
Wings were also a big part of<br />
Summers’ later works.<br />
Flight is described as a semiabstract<br />
work paying homage<br />
to the albatross flying over very<br />
large stretches of ocean, carrying<br />
its message and its dreams of<br />
landfall.<br />
The fundraising group has<br />
so far raised more than $60,000<br />
and is hoping to reach the target<br />
by April.<br />
Summers also famously<br />
carved 14 stations of the cross<br />
stone panels to mark the 2005<br />
centenary of the Cathedral of the<br />
Blessed Sacrament on Barbadoes<br />
St. All were recovered from the<br />
earthquake-damaged basilica,<br />
except one. It was missing and<br />
presumed stolen.<br />

buy Flight can be made<br />

DAMAGE: Thieves broke a door to get into Lyttelton SuperValue and then<br />
ransacked the premises in search of a cash register and cigarettes.<br />
Rob De Thier<br />
•From page 1<br />
Lyttelton SuperValue owner<br />
Rob De Thier spoke of his<br />
annoyance at the thousands<br />
of dollars in theft and damage<br />
the break-in caused. I wonder<br />
if they realised the local police<br />
station isn’t manned 24/7 and<br />
they would have time up their<br />
sleeves, he said.<br />
Lyttelton police station<br />
supervisor Sergeant Anna<br />
Partridge says it was good to be<br />
able to report progress with the<br />
investigation.<br />
“We also want to assure<br />
businesses and the public that<br />
we are continuing to monitor<br />
the area, and are carrying out<br />
patrols to ensure the safety of<br />
our community,” she said.<br />
We’re<br />
strengthening<br />
our electricity<br />
network<br />
Orion is installing a new 66kV underground power<br />
cable at the intersection of Ferry Road and Hopkins<br />
Street, as part of a major project we are undertaking<br />
in Christchurch city to replace older cables.<br />
We will have traffic management in place as we are laying these<br />
cables. There may be traffic delays on Ferry Road from Monday 16<br />
<strong>January</strong> for approximately 4 weeks. These are essential upgrades to<br />
the network, to enhance the resilience and security of the network.<br />

Cancer campaigner remembered<br />
through harness racing colours<br />
• By Barry Clarke<br />
WHEN GREG Manson’s horses<br />
step out onto the race track<br />
they carry with them a very<br />
special memory to a mate who<br />
is remembered for his fight<br />
for better cancer care in New<br />
Zealand.<br />
That special memory is<br />
Manson’s colours – the initials<br />
BV emblazoned on black, red<br />
and white.<br />
BV stands for Blair Vining,<br />
who became a national<br />
identity as he battled terminal<br />
bowel cancer, presenting a<br />
140,000-strong petition to<br />
Parliament with his wife Melissa,<br />
three months before he died in<br />
October 2019.<br />
The black, red and white are<br />
the colours of Vining’s beloved<br />
rugby club Midland in Winton.<br />
A lock, who played about 400<br />
senior matches, Vining was<br />
renowned for his toughness.<br />
“He was a strong man; my<br />
horses have to be tough like he<br />
was,” Manson said.<br />
The colours were to the fore<br />
when veteran and tough as teak<br />
pacer Copperfield Rose finished<br />
third at the Motukarara trots.<br />
“They are very proud<br />
moments,” said Manson, who<br />
trains a small team at Lincoln.<br />
Each time Manson’s horses<br />
win, there is a tribute to Vining<br />
in the winner’s circle.<br />
“Blair’s mentioned every time.<br />
I love it . . . the awareness of<br />
cancer, the hospital,” Manson<br />
said of the Southland Charity<br />
Hospital Trust, established in<br />
2019 following Vining’s highlypublicised<br />
battle providing free<br />
services to those in the southern<br />
half of New Zealand who are<br />
unable to access care through<br />
the public or private health<br />
systems.<br />
While Copperhead Rose is<br />
probably in the twilight of his<br />
career, another Manson pacer<br />
Franco Marek could carry the<br />
colours to the top.<br />
“Copperhead Rose has raced<br />
for six years. He’s such a tough<br />
GOOD MATES: Manson and Vining together in <strong>January</strong><br />
2019.<br />
animal. A bit of that is rubbing<br />
off on Frankie,” he said of<br />
Franco Marek.<br />
Franco Marek won over<br />
Christmas New Year at<br />
Motukarara, his fifth win from<br />
just seven starts.<br />
“He is still just a boy, but he<br />
is a smart horse. We have been<br />
patient with him and tried to give<br />
him time to mature. He has got a<br />
wee way to go, but he knows what<br />
THRILL: Franco Marek winning at Motukarara over<br />
Christmas New Year.<br />
it is about,” Manson said.<br />
“He is getting more<br />
professional every day. The plan<br />
is to go all of the way with him.”<br />
Manson became mates with<br />
Vining when he lived in Southland<br />
through their respective<br />
wives Karla and Melissa who<br />
were friends.<br />
The Mansons and Vinings<br />
and a handful of other families<br />
would go to Twizel on holiday<br />
each year.<br />
“We still do that with Blair’s<br />
family,” Manson said.<br />

MANSON<br />
Vining was not a horse racing<br />
person as such.<br />
But when Manson<br />
decided to get back into<br />
training after an absence<br />
from the game he suggested<br />
to Vining that he wanted to<br />
change his original colours to<br />
the BV on black, red and white.<br />
Vining agreed.<br />
Vining’s family now take a big<br />
interest in the horses which carry<br />
their colours , keeping up with<br />
how they are going and “putting a<br />
dollar each way on them.”<br />

School footwear a specialty<br />
at long-standing retail store<br />
The Footwear Factory in Garlands Road<br />
Woolston has been part of the Christchurch<br />
retail scene for more than a quarter of a<br />
century.<br />
Over that time, thousands of people have<br />
visited the store for great deals in quality<br />
footwear.<br />
One of The Footwear Factory’s specialties<br />
is good-quality school shoes with such major<br />
brands as McKinlays, Ascent, Keen, New<br />
Balance and Hi-Tec to choose from.<br />
The proudly New Zealand-made McKinlays<br />
brand from Dunedin consists of Rio, Kate,<br />
Molly and Kristen for girls, and Hunter Junior<br />
and Delta for boys.<br />
Ascent has the wonderful lightweight but<br />
durable Apex and Contest for boys and Eve for<br />
the girls, while New Balance and Hi-Tec have<br />
a variety of sports shoes and sandals. Keen has<br />
the Kanyon and Newport sandals, but these are<br />
limited in numbers.<br />
All in all, this can be seen as a great selection,<br />
with the Footwear Factory well worth a visit.<br />
Located on a high-profile site at 47C<br />
Garlands Rd (next to the Nood Outlet Store),<br />
the Footwear Factory is easy to find, and<br />
there is off-street parking available. They<br />
are open seven days a week: 9.30am-5pm<br />
Monday to Friday, 10am-2pm Saturday and<br />
10.30am-2.30pm Sunday. Phone 389-3431.<br />

TREASURES FROM THE PAST<br />
Samuel Farr and Lyttelton’s<br />
brick wells and barrel drains<br />
BENEATH Ōhinehou Lyttelton<br />
lies a marvel of Victorian<br />
engineering in a significant<br />
network of brick barrel drains<br />
that dissect the street layout of<br />
the planned township.<br />
This approximately 5.4km<br />
web of large round drains was<br />
built of two layers of clay bricks,<br />
with a round or occasionally<br />
egg-shaped opening. Some<br />
sections beneath roads utilised<br />
large basalt rocks in place of the<br />
earthenware bricks.<br />
Originally designed to channel<br />
both storm water and sewage<br />
over Lyttelton’s steep terrain,<br />
they still function as storm water<br />
reticulation, with sewage now<br />
carried separately. Built by the<br />
Lyttelton Hard Labour gang<br />
(prisoners from the local gaol),<br />
they were utilised for many years<br />
by the Lyttelton Volunteer Fire<br />
Brigade for Confined Spaces<br />
training.<br />
Ground conditions in the early<br />
colonial settlement, especially<br />
in steep gully areas, were often<br />
diabolical.<br />
“Norwich Quay is a filthy<br />
slough, Oxford St worse than any<br />
newly ploughed field, London<br />
St an alternation of watery mud<br />
and muddy water... In Oxford<br />
St in the centre of the crossing<br />
between London St and the<br />
Sumner Road is another swamp<br />
of even worse description, where<br />
the unwary traveller, groping his<br />
way in the usual pitchy darkness,<br />
finds himself suddenly engulfed<br />
nearly to his knees.”<br />
Hence it was that in <strong>18</strong>70,<br />
architect Samuel Farr, having<br />
earlier been involved in<br />
surveying Lyttelton and the<br />
formation of road infrastructure<br />
and then holding the position<br />
of Lyttelton Borough Council<br />
Surveyor for two years, designed<br />
a drainage and water supply<br />
network. His enthusiastic and<br />
innovative use of concrete in<br />
curbs and channels (and in some<br />
of his building designs), earned<br />
him the somewhat disparaging<br />
A well was discovered underneath Kinsey’s while<br />
clearing the site for a new building in 1966. Right – the<br />
site today. PHOTO: TE ŪAKA THE LYTTELTON MUSEUM<br />
REF 7855.1 / HTTPS://WWW.TEUAKA.ORG.NZ/ONLINE-<br />
COLLECTION/11280<strong>18</strong><br />
appellation “The King of<br />
Concrete”.<br />
The structure visible in our<br />
photo was Lyttelton’s first<br />
European well at 14 Oxford St<br />
(next to the now restored Taylor’s<br />
Plumbers building at 16 Oxford<br />
St); likely a Farr design it displays<br />
the double skin of bricks laid<br />
in the round as also used in the<br />
brick barrel drains.<br />
Prior to the construction of a<br />
reservoir and pumping station<br />
in Heathcote in <strong>18</strong>77, which<br />
delivered water via pipes through<br />
the rail tunnel to Lyttelton, this<br />
well was a crucial water source<br />
for early English immigrants.<br />
It was uncovered in 1966<br />
when the Kinsey building was<br />
demolished; Kinsey’s was an<br />
important early shipping agency<br />
whose greatest claim to fame<br />
was serving both the Scott and<br />
Shackleton polar expeditions.<br />
Farr, born in North<br />
Hertfordshire, England in<br />
<strong>18</strong>27, was influenced by his<br />
father’s profession as a builder.<br />
Arriving in Akaroa in <strong>18</strong>50 on<br />
the “Monarch” along with his<br />
future wife’s family, his marriage<br />
to eldest daughter Mary Ann<br />
Pavitt on 15 June <strong>18</strong>50 holds<br />
the distinction of being the first<br />
officially recorded marriage in<br />
the new settlement. It was one<br />
of many firsts in his long life; as<br />
secretary of the Acclimatisation<br />
Society for 22 years he was<br />
largely responsible for stocking<br />
Canterbury’s rivers with fish and<br />
instrumental in the introduction<br />
of the bumblebee to the region.<br />
In <strong>18</strong>52 he was the driving force<br />
in the development of the track<br />
from the Akaroa Heads to Purau<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> and was an accomplished<br />
painter for good measure.<br />
Farr and his young family<br />
moved from Akaroa to Otautahi<br />
Christchurch in <strong>18</strong>62. He<br />
was denied membership to<br />
the Canterbury Association<br />
of Architects alongside other<br />
colonial architects William<br />
Armson, Benjamin Mountfort,<br />
Alexander Lean and Frederick<br />
Strouts because he was not<br />
formally trained. Nevertheless<br />
he was responsible for a<br />
number of notable public<br />
and private buildings. A few<br />
well known examples include<br />
St Paul’s Church in central<br />
Christchurch (St Paul’s Trinity<br />
Pacific Presbyterian Church<br />
in more recent years), St John’s<br />
Presbyterian Church in Lyttelton<br />
and the Normal School at<br />
Cranmer Square (latterly known<br />
as Cranmer Courts); all these<br />
examples sadly destroyed due<br />
to the Canterbury earthquake<br />
sequence of 2010/2011. Happily,<br />
a fine example of his domestic<br />
architecture survives; the <strong>18</strong>65<br />
Dalcroy House at 16 Godley<br />
Quay was built as both residence<br />
and Presbyterian school.<br />
But back to the brick barrel<br />
beauties beneath Lyttelton’s<br />
surface. Although not<br />
individually listed by Heritage<br />
New Zealand, the network is<br />
recognised as an important<br />
example of pre 1900 engineering<br />
and for contributing to the<br />
historical and archaeological<br />
significance of the township.<br />
Post earthquakes, some of the<br />
drains have had new manhole<br />
inspection points installed,<br />
Coleridge Tce being a recent<br />
example with work completed<br />
in 2022. One of the main lines<br />
runs diagonally beneath Albion<br />
Square and is referenced in the<br />
design of the water feature in the<br />
current playground area.<br />

It takes a village to save penguins<br />
A CONSERVATION trust<br />
and eco-tourism business have<br />
welcomed the work done by<br />
Diana Isaac Retirement Village<br />
residents to help safeguard a<br />
precious penguin colony on<br />
Banks Peninsula.<br />
Both the Helps Pōhatu<br />
Conservation Trust and Pōhatu<br />
Penguins work closely on<br />
removing predators from the<br />
peninsula to help maintain little<br />
penguin.<br />
The residents from the<br />
retirement village in Mairehau<br />
have been making the especiallydesigned<br />
wooden trap housings<br />
to catch pests, such as stoats<br />
and rats. The white-flippered<br />
penguins nest at Flea <strong>Bay</strong> near<br />
Akaroa, where predator control<br />
has been ongoing for the last 40<br />
years.<br />
Geraldine Guillemot-Peacock<br />
helps maintain the traps on<br />
behalf of the trust and Pōhatu<br />
Penguins, which runs wildlife<br />
and peninsula tours. Recently,<br />
a group of residents from the<br />
Diana Isaac village, including<br />
Bruce Gray, Gary Archbold,<br />
Norm Reid and Brian Hill<br />
handed more than 25 traps to<br />
Guillemot-Peacock.<br />
The conservation trust protects<br />
little penguins at Flea <strong>Bay</strong> and<br />
the wider Banks Peninsula<br />
through predator control,<br />
rehabilitation of injured birds,<br />

Norm Reid and Bruce Gray, along with Geraldine Guillemot-Peacock, are protecting the<br />

advocacy. The traps have been<br />
laid for decades, so there is a<br />
need for replacement for rusted<br />
mechanisms and the housings.<br />
There were also traps lost during<br />
a 2021 floodwater event on the<br />
property. Stoats are the worst<br />
pest. Other introduced species<br />
like rats, hedgehogs, cats, ferrets,<br />
unsupervised dogs as well as<br />
human disturbances also impact<br />
and have led to a decrease in<br />
penguin numbers. At one point<br />
the colonies around the Banks<br />
Peninsula were declining at an<br />
alarming rate and some have<br />
disappeared altogether.<br />
There were <strong>18</strong>2 traps, split<br />
across 10 trap lines, within the<br />
property that stretches hundreds<br />
of metres inland.<br />
These traps are checked<br />
weekly for the pests as well as for<br />
any required maintenance, so<br />
damaged traps can be repaired<br />
and gaps in the plan can be<br />
filled.<br />
“We know, for example, stoats<br />
like going near fence lines…<br />
Some of the traps are in the bush,<br />
higher out of the (immediate)<br />
penguin colony, some are within<br />
the penguin colony,” Guillemot-<br />
Peacock said.<br />
“It’s always nice to have good<br />
traps that work well.”<br />
Last year there was a slide<br />
show and presentation to teach<br />
Diana Isaac residents about the<br />
penguins and how they need to<br />
be protected from such predators.<br />
Bruce, Gary, Norm and Brian are<br />
thankful of the help they have<br />
received from others in a wider<br />
project, particularly from a team<br />
of builders at Charles Upham<br />
village, led by resident Lynn<br />
Andrews.<br />
Lynn, a former watchmaker,<br />
has been helping ensure the<br />
wooden trap housings are built<br />
to specification for conservation<br />
groups.<br />
Given the staged purchase<br />
and delivery of wood and other<br />
screws and partitions for the<br />
traps, the assembly process has<br />
been speedy and well executed,<br />
Bruce says.<br />

Tough Mazda ute with all the frills<br />
I WAS SCHEDULED into the<br />
range-topping Mazda BT-50<br />
Takami and was very anxious for<br />
it to arrive.<br />
We had had a series of<br />
disasters in the Kiddie-home<br />
and I needed a ute to take away<br />
and recycle a hot water cylinder<br />
we had replaced along with<br />
other associated debris that had<br />
accumulated in the back yard.<br />
True to form the BT-50<br />
completed the tasks and now the<br />
property is looking a lot more<br />
respectable.<br />
That’s just many of the tasks<br />
today’s modern ute is recognised<br />
for, it is the quintessential load<br />
carrier – one-tonne on the deck<br />
and 3500kg on the towbar – and<br />
over the years I’ve always tried to<br />
make good use of the load space<br />
offered in all of the utes I’ve had<br />
for evaluation.<br />
However, BT-50 Takami is a<br />
little different to the run of the<br />
mill pick-ups that dominate the<br />
Kiwi light commercial market.<br />
It is a high-spec model that in<br />
specification sits with all other<br />
Mazda Takami product. It is high<br />
on luxury, which makes it more<br />
sport utility vehicle-like – it’s full<br />
leather khaki/black-coloured<br />
trim, heated seats, electric seats<br />
and a host of other specification<br />
makes it a ute for the family, it’s a<br />
genuine five-seater and all those<br />
on board are treated to luxury<br />
and comfort.<br />
There’s also a blackout kit, black<br />
wheels and other trim elements<br />
along with a retractable roller<br />
deck lid, sports hoop bar and roof<br />
rails. The combination looks very<br />
aggressive.<br />
It’s not just the comfort and<br />
convenience factor either than<br />
makes the BT-50 Takami a<br />
standout, it has all the safety<br />
kit Mazda has available<br />
through its ute engineering<br />
programme, easily earning it a<br />
five-star Australasian New Car<br />
Assessment Program rating.<br />
Interestingly, while the<br />
Takami has an abundance of<br />
specification, I’ve never felt<br />
the BT-50 in other forms was<br />
lacking for kit, the Limited<br />
variant I evaluated last year<br />
was also high on spec, but<br />
nevertheless the Takami has<br />
everything and, what’s more, it<br />
isn’t priced any distant to other<br />
high spec four-wheel-drive<br />
double cab brands.<br />
At $69,190 it sits $6500 above<br />
the Limited which to me still<br />
represents value, the BT-50 as we<br />
know it is a tough, quality-built<br />
ute that will last the distance in<br />
terms of strength and reliability.<br />
Even though it’s been around<br />
STYLISH: The Mazda BT-50 Takami’s leather trim is twotone<br />
black and khaki.<br />
MAZDA BT-50: Comprehensively equipped for comfort, convenience and safety.<br />
for a year or so now, the latest<br />
generation BT-50 gets what I<br />
call a new engine. Gone is the<br />
old Ford-sourced five-cylinder<br />
unit, today’s BT-50 gets the fourcylinder<br />
turbocharged diesel<br />
engine that is sourced from Isuzu<br />
and is shared in its D-Max.<br />
The 3-litre unit is rated at<br />
140kW and 450Nm, power and<br />
torque reached at traditional<br />
points of the rev band – 4000rpm<br />
and 1600-2600rpm. Unlike many<br />
large capacity diesels, this unit is<br />
quiet and refined, sound is well<br />
isolated from the cabin and it<br />
works smoothly through a sixspeed<br />
gearbox.<br />
On the subject of transmission,<br />
the BT-50 works traditionally,<br />
drive is sent rearwards through<br />
to a live axle located by leaf<br />
springs. When four-wheel-drive<br />
is required a console-mounted<br />
dial system will usher in low or<br />
high ratio as needed, power is<br />
then directed through a transfer<br />
system to the front wheels – fourwheel-drive<br />
is then initiated.<br />
Given the underpinnings<br />
are not only load-bearing and<br />
able to tackle off-road tracks<br />
and trails, the BT-50 has a<br />
remarkable in-cabin ride. The<br />
spring and damper rates are<br />
set so that occupant comfort is<br />
also a priority. Sure, there’s an<br />
underlying jiggle that is common<br />
to all utes of this type, but it’s not<br />
significant and it would seem that<br />
• Price – Mazda BT-50<br />
Takami, $69,190<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
5280mm; width, <strong>18</strong>70mm;<br />
height, 1790mm<br />
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />
four-wheel-drive,<br />
2999cc, 140kW, 450Nm,<br />
six-speed automatic.<br />
• Performance – 0-100km/h,<br />
10.5sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 8l/100km<br />
Mazda has put a lot of thought<br />
into seat design, for the driving<br />
position and comfort beneath<br />
seems perfect.<br />
In terms of performance<br />
and handling, the BT-50 has solid<br />
mid-range boost which in turn<br />
provides peace of mind when<br />
negotiating that highway overtake<br />
– 80-120km/h can be achieved<br />
in 6.6sec, while for the record<br />
a standstill to 100km/h time of<br />
around 10sec is up to<br />
par.<br />
More importantly, Mazda<br />
also claims an eight-litre per<br />
100km/h combined cycle fuel<br />
usage average. In today’s market<br />
where diesel prices are sitting not<br />
that far distant to what we pay<br />
for petrol, fuel thrift is of genuine<br />
importance.<br />
During my evaluation time the<br />
BT-50 Takami was constantly<br />
listing around a 10l/100km<br />
average. On a long highway run<br />
the instantaneous readout was<br />
sitting at 8.2l/100km with the<br />
engine turning over very relaxed<br />
at 1400rpm at 100km/h.<br />
Riding on high grade<br />
Bridgestone Dueler tyres<br />
(265/60 x <strong>18</strong>in), there is lot of<br />
rubber meeting the road surface,<br />
that connection transmitted<br />
firmly back to the steering wheel;<br />
centre and off-centre feel is<br />
involving, providing surety to the<br />
driver.<br />
If a tight corner is entered a<br />
bit on the quick side, there is still<br />
positive turn-in and a definite feel<br />
of control and balance through<br />
the rear driving wheels. Grip<br />
is never brought into question<br />
thanks to quick electronics that<br />
intervene quickly, oversteer<br />
needn’t be considered.<br />
I’ve driven several variants of<br />
the new BT-50 series including<br />
the base model that I took on a<br />
long South Island road trip. I’ve<br />
come away from each experience<br />
quite satisfied with the level of<br />
refinement, Takami has only<br />
served to prove Mazda has taken<br />
that sophistication one step<br />
further.<br />
It would be the ute that I would<br />
buy, but I have to admit I am a<br />
little biased, my wife and I are<br />
new members of the Mazda<br />
owner-family, and we are very<br />
pleased with the experience and<br />
quality of the product.<br />
