Bus routes 

plan to 

solve 

cruise ship 

problem 

• By Tony Simons 

BUS ROUTES through Lyttelton 

are changing to try to solve the 

congestion problem caused by 

cruise ship passengers. 

It’s one of a number of 

immediate changes being made 

after the Te Pataka o Rakaihautu 

Banks Peninsula Community 

Board faced angry protests from 

locals at its meeting two weeks 

ago, complaining about cruise 

ship passengers 

hogging the 

buses, creating 

congestion and 

preventing them 

from from getting 

to and from the 

Reuben 

Davidson 

city on time. 

Board chair 

Reuben Davidson 

told Bay Harbour News several 

measures are now being taken 

to alter the cruise ship transport 

operation. 

The most significant change 

is buses returning from 

Christchurch to the terminal 

will go directly to Norwich 

Quay without stopping, and not 

through the town, he said.

THE AVERAGE value of a 

property in Taylors Mistake has 

risen sharply after the area was 

lumped in with the surrounding 

suburbs. 

The latest rateable valuation, 

undertaken by Quotable Value 

in August, shows the average 

value of a residential dwelling 

in Taylors Mistake increased by 

70 per cent to $936,000 over the 

past three years. 

However, the city council said 

Taylors Mistake itself contains 

only 39 residential properties 

from 151 Taylors Mistake Rd to 

the beach. 

As there were no recent sales 

of residential dwellings in that 

area leading up to the latest 

valuations, evidence from 

Scarborough, Sumner and the 

other hill suburbs was used to 

help determine the values, QV 

Canterbury manager Brendon 

McCurley said. 

The capital value of a 

property, house and land, which 

determines the RV and the 

market value, is based on sales 

leading up to the date of the 

valuation, McCurley said. 

Ray White Ferrymead 

principal Craig Prier said many 

properties off Taylors Mistake 

Rd are defined as being part of 

Scarborough and were sold for 

significantly more than their old 

RVs in 2021 and last year.

Said Davidson: “This will 

reduce the volume of buses on 

the township loop route, and 

also reduce the demands on the 

temporary bus stop space outside 

the information centre. One cruise 

ship company operator, Carnival, 

has also agreed to hold off sending 

out passenger to the Lyttelton 

shuttles until after 9am.” 

The news has been welcomed 

by Winchester St resident, Steve 

Hodgson. He is terminally ill and 

said the high number of noisy buses 

trundling past his place all day 

has caused him stress and worry. 

“At one stage there was a bus 

every minute,” he said. 

Davidson said the changes are 

positive. 

“Our port commuters need 

to know they can reliably get to 

school and work on the bus, and 

Com 

these measures should help give 

them that certainty.” 

Additional buses and an express 

service will run on the No 28 

route, said Davidson. 

Hodgson hoped it would 

make a difference but viewed the 

changes with some scepticism. “I 

haven’t noticed any difference yet. 

The only solution is for the port 

company to accept the fact they 

are the ones making money out 

of the cruise ships so they should 

provide an alternative route for 

cruise ship buses.”

on a steam tug? 

THE STEAM tug Lyttelton 

is calling out for deckhands 

and stokers to help the historic 

vessel continue operating on the 

harbour. 

The Tug Lyttelton Preservation 

Society made the appeal for 

volunteer crew members – and 

no experience is necessary to fill 

the roles. 

Society member Michael 

Fowke said help is needed on the 

wharf and deck. Volunteers are 

also needed to stoke the boiler 

and keep the old tug in shipshape 

condition. 

He said the work is not too 

physical. 

“We are looking for people 

from anywhere in the city to 

help, working a roster.” 

Fowke lives in Rangiora and 

comes in every week to help look 

after the vessel. 

The Lyttelton tug was built in 

Scotland in 1906 and was based 

at Lyttelton Harbour until 1970. 

Since then, the vessel has been 

taking passengers on harbour 

cruises to the Lyttelton Heads 

each Sunday afternoon over 

summer. 

The tug is also available for

functions and private charters. 

Fowke said the volunteers 

would need to work a couple of 

hours on Sunday afternoon and, 

if possible, on Thursdays when 

the vessel if cleaned up and readied 

for the weekend. 

Each Sunday, the engineers 

arrive about 1pm to heat the engines 

up. The deck crew then prepares 

the passenger areas. “We 

are so grateful to our incredible 

and passionate volunteers to keep 

the tug maintained,” said Fowke.

A Forager’s Life - A spellbinding debut memoir 

about plants, motherhood and belonging 

by Helen Lehndorf 

A memoir about belonging and motherhood, told through the author’s lifelong 

passion for wild food 

When Helen Lehndorf moves to the city after a childhood living off the land 

in rural Taranaki, she can’t help but feel different from her peers and 

professors. She finds solace in long walks foraging weeds and 

plants along the river, but something inside her still longs for 

home. 

Chasing a feeling of ancestral belonging, she travels to 

England with her new husband. There they learn about nature 

as the commons, shared between all who encounter it - a 

source of delight, food, medicine. 

An unexpected pregnancy in Aotearoa changes everything, and 

motherhood takes over Helen’s identity. When her son is diagnosed 

with autism, foraging becomes a space for selfhood in a chaotic world. 

Weaving memoir with foraging recipes, principles and practices, A Forager’s Life 

is an intimate story and a promise that, with the right frame of mind, much can 

be made of the world around us.

From hospital nurse 

Karin Bos was a nurse at 

Christchurch Hospital for 20 

years. Now she cares for 

some of the most precious 

wildlife on Banks Peninsula. 

Heidi Slade reports 

KAITORETE IS one of the 

region’s hidden, natural gems. 

The 25km spit runs south-west 

from near Birdlings Flat along 

the southern edge of Te Waihora/ 

Lake Ellesmere. 

Home to banded dotterel, 

ground-nesting birds such as 

oystercatchers and endangered 

native spiders like katipō, as 

well as skinks and two species 

of flightless moth, the area is 

also populated with pests such 

as hedgehogs, mustelids, 

possums and feral cats. 

Bos has been working for Pest 

Free Banks Peninsula for 20 

months on various projects. She 

is now based at Kaitorete as a 

dog handler for its conservation 

dog programme. 

‘‘I’m excited to be a part of such 

an enormous, amazing goal,’’ 

said Bos who lives in Little River. 

Since December, she has 

worked with Mobab, a threeand-a-half-year-old 

border terrier 

trained to track hedgehogs. 

Recently the pair were 

joined by Terry, a 20-month-old 

welsh springer spaniel trained to 

track down feral cats. PFBP has 

been contributing to 

Predator Free New Zealand’s 

Pest Free 2050 initiative 

since 2020, when 

Government funding was

to looking after wildlife 

In the other focus area – 

the extended wild side of 

Banks Peninsula – PFBP 

is working to get rid of all 

possums and drop mustelid 

and feral cat numbers to 20 

per cent of what they were 

when the branch began. 

‘‘We are the only Predator 

Free 2050 project that is 

targeting that many species at 

once,’’ Sjoberg said. 

After spending 20 years 

as a surgical and cardiology 

nurse at Christchurch 

Hospital, Bos said she 

decided to pursue her 

passion for conservation fulltime. 

She has found what she calls 

‘‘the ultimate job.’’ 

Sjoberg said PFBP is 

‘‘blessed’’ to have Bos. 

‘‘Her strength 

is communication and being 

able to work under pressure,’’ 

which he says comes from her 

work as a nurse. 

He also praises her ‘‘detailed 

and concise approach.’’ 

It helps Bos to get in touch 

with the dogs and understand 

their behaviours. 

Mabob and Terry live with 

Bos on her property, which 

she likes to call their ‘‘palace.’’ 

She said they benefit from

They are also expensive, 

highly-trained animals, so it is 

important to keep them safe. 

Sjoberg said ‘‘knowing the 

dog intimately so that the wag 

of a tail or scratch of an ear’’ 

indicates they are close to a 

pest is important. 

‘‘These are the little signs 

that Karin needs to pick up 

on and she’s so good at that. 

‘‘I was just blown away 

with how much those dogs 

love Karin.’’ 

While no two days are 

the same, Bos will check 

the ‘‘remote reporting 

network’’ daily to see 

which of PFBPs numerous 

live capture traps have been 

set off, she said. After her and 

the dogs investigate, she then 

lets them sniff out other 

predators. ‘‘They are detection 

dogs (and) they are pointing 

the animal out to me . . . 

I’m the one in charge of what’s 

happening to the animals’’ 

Bos said. 

Training the dogs takes 

20 to 24 months and 

involves expert trainer Billy

specialises in training dogs for 

conservation purposes.

The life and times of smiling 

centenarian Doreen Felton 

• By Martin Hawes 

DOREEN FELTON likes things 

to go smoothly – but in reality 

nothing ever does. 

Doreen, who turned 100 on 

Febtruary 23, has lived through 

the Great Depression, World 

War 2, the earthquakes, and a 

pandemic. 

Alongside these she has 

fought many other obstacles 

and difficulties within her 

family and with her own health 

issues. Things do not always go 

smoothly but Doreen is nothing 

if not resilient! 

Born in Timaru and one 

of seven, life was not easy for 

her family. The Depression 

cast a dark shadow over the 

whole country and Doreen 

still wonders how her parents 

managed to feed a family of 

nine. Her father was out of work 

and relied on Government work 

schemes for a living. He was 

away working a lot but came 

home most weekends with his 

pay – five shillings a week (50 

cents in today’s money!) 

Most tragically at about this 

time, Doreen’s brother, George, 

died. This was the first of 

Doreen’s siblings to die – there 

were seven but today, Doreen 

finds herself the only one who 

has survived. 

The Depression faded and 

Timaru had much to offer a 

child growing up. There were 

always others to play with – 

family and friends – and sports 

included tennis, cricket, and 

swimming. Church provided a 

centre for a strong community 

with plenty of socialising. As 

it is today, Caroline Bay was a 

popular venue for swimming, 

sunbathing, and socialising. 

Doreen remembers clearly 

her first day at Timaru Main 

Primary School and ended that 

top of her class. Later she went 

on to Timaru Girls High where 

she studied accountancy. After 

BIG DAY: Doreen Felton cuts the cake at her 100th birthday party. 

finishing high school, Doreen 

worked in various jobs during 

the war, but it wasn’t long before 

a new person entered her life – 

Grahame Felton. 

The thing that marks this 

centenarian’s life most clearly 

is her 72-year marriage to 

Grahame and all of their 

precious family. That is an 

extraordinarily long marriage 

by any standards and Doreen 

attributes its longevity to the 

fact that they worked together 

through most of their lives and 

shared common interests. 

They met in Timaru and were 

married in 1943. Grahame had 

purchased a dairy and together 

they built up this business over 

the first eight years of their 

marriage. In these days, dairies 

were often thriving businesses 

and Doreen and Grahame built a 

full-scaled grocery business even 

selling fresh baking. After 

eight years of hard work the 

dairy was sold yielding a profit 

big enough to buy a house. 

Doreen and Grahame moved 

to Christchurch. Grahame found 

a series of jobs in sales and 

management while Doreen took 

care of their three children. 

Eventually, Grahame became 

a tutor with the New Zealand 

Institute of Management, 

and it was not too long before 

Doreen joined him. With the 

children grown up, Doreen and 

Grahame travelled New Zealand 

presenting a programme which 

PHOTO: DAVID ALEXANDER PHOTOGRAPHER 

provided better management 

skills and self-improvement. 

Later, Grahame developed his 

own programmes for the NZIM. 

They continued to work with 

businesses and sports groups, 

presenting and mentoring 

individuals. Their programmes 

and mentoring were for children 

and adults, including some very 

high-profile sportspeople. This 

led to Grahame being awarded a 

QSM in 2007. 

When the earthquakes struck, 

Doreen and Grahame were 

living in Heathcote. Living at the 

centre of the quakes, this was a 

terrifying time. Unfortunately, 

the cancer that Grahame had 

previously been treated for 

returned. Doreen was recently 

out of hospital and Grahame was 

cared for at Edith Cavell. For 

Doreen, with roads in bad shape 

and in a wheelchair, travel each 

day to be with Grahame was 

tough. 

Sadly, Grahame’s cancer 

worsened, and in 2015 he 

died. Now by herself, Doreen 

moved to a Ngaio Marsh 

townhouse and later had to 

adapt to a whole new lifestyle as 

an amputee, with its reliance on 

others and loss of independence. 

However, having lived 100 years, 

little fazes her: at age 100, Doreen 

Felton is still full of energy, as 

sharp as a tack, and continues to 

mentor people. She lives with the 

goal of outliving her eldest sister 

who lived to 102.

Huihui Mai Greater 

Christchurch 

It’s time to come together to plan our future. 

The Christchurch, Selwyn and 

Waimakariri districts are growing 

rapidly, and our population could 

double to 1 million people within 

the next 60 years, if not earlier. 

Where will everyone live? How 

will we get to where we want to 

go? How will we grow and protect 

our environment? 

How will we get around? 

Is it time for a new turn up and go

NEWS 

LEARN: The 

number 

of pupils 

attending Our 

Lady Star of 

the Sea School 

in Sumner has 

risen to 84. 

Double the children, double the fun 

Our Lady Star 

of the Sea 

School’s roll 

sat at just over 

40 children 

at the end of 

2020. Now it 

is up to 84 Nathan 

pupils and Burford 

growing, 

the largest it has been 

in a decade. Principal 

Nathan Burford shares 

his thoughts on why the 

number has climbed 

THERE ARE a number of 

reasons why we have experienced 

the growth we have, but in my 

opinion the most important 

one has been a strong focus on 

fostering a sense of belonging 

and relationship building 

amongst our community. 

We have so many people that 

are deeply invested in making 

this place special including a 

wonderful board of trustees, 

outstanding staff and incredible 

parent community. 

As a Catholic school we do 

offer something a bit different 

and our focus on faith and the 

values that are aligned to being 

a catholic school are something 

many people are wanting for 

their child’s education. 

Parents often comment that 

we feel like a country school in 

the city and our size brings a 

sense of calmness to children’s 

schooling. 

Being a smaller school we are 

heavily reliant on our school 

community to help out where 

they can. Parents are regularly 

involved in fundraising, school 

maintenance, communications 

and even simple things like 

dropping in baking for teachers 

during interviews. We pride 

ourselves on embracing any 

new families that join us, so 

that the start of their schooling 

experience with us is as seamless 

as possible. Everyone knows 

everyone and their families, and 

there are very few parents that 

we don’t see coming onto school 

grounds regularly, to be a part of 

their child’s education. 

We have wonderful support 

from our neighbouring schools 

as part of the ‘Aupaki Cluster’ 

of schools and this helps us not 

to miss out on bigger events just 

because we are small. 

We join in on cultural festivals, 

sports events, staff training and 

all other events that are part 

of our area. We do have some 

changes on the horizon in terms 

of our buildings, that I feel will 

only enhance our school and the 

teaching and learning and who 

knows, the way we are growing, 

one day we may indeed hit our 

maximum roll of 130. 

For now we are focused 

on ensuring that as we grow 

children and their families 

continue to enjoy the point of 

difference that our Catholic 

school offers.

TREASURES FROM THE PAST 

Tunnel was a feat of engineering 

MONDAY, February 27 marked 

the 59th anniversary of the 

opening of the Lyttelton Road 

Tunnel in 1964, a significant 

occasion that signalled huge 

changes for the port township 

and the wider region. 

With increasing private vehicle 

ownership and the opening of 

the tunnel, Ōhinehou Lyttelton 

began the transition from a 

relatively secluded port township 

connected only by rail to 

Christchurch, to a community 

more directly in touch with the 

metropolis through the hill. 

Our online collection holds 

many fascinating photographs 

of both the construction of this 

vital transport link and the 

opening events that celebrated it. 

A road tunnel between 

Lyttelton and Christchurch 

had been considered from as 

early as 1851. However, one 

of many concerns at the time 

was that horses would catch 

cold in moving from the heat 

of the plains into the cold 

underground. Alternative 

overland routes were constructed 

via Evans, Dyers and Gebbies 

passes and the construction of 

a rail tunnel, completed in 1867, 

was a significant engineering feat 

by global standards at the time. 

By the early twentieth 

century, calls for improved 

transport links were increasing 

as the rail link began to prove 

unsatisfactory for burgeoning 

port freight movements. 

From the 1920s through to the 

1950s several different interest 

groups proposed solutions; a 

port and canal at the estuary of 

the Heathcote and Avon rivers 

was quite seriously considered. 

The push for a road tunnel 

to run above the existing rail 

tunnel was led by the Tunnel 

Road Promotion Committee, 

which lobbied for Government 

funding. 

World War 2 hindered 

progress and it was not until 

1956 that the Christchurch– 

Lyttelton Road Tunnel Bill was 

passed through parliament, 

sponsored by Sidney Holland, 

MP for Fendalton and then 

Prime Minister. The passing 

of the bill enabled the 

establishment of the Road 

Tunnel Authority, which was 

tasked with raising the £3.4 

million budget and constructing 

the tunnel. 

Despite some local opposition, 

especially regarding the 

proposed impact on the 

Heathcote Valley, Ministry of 

Works planning was completed 

by 1960 and work began in 1962 

under a partnership between 

Fletcher Construction Ltd and 

American firm Henry J. Kaiser 

Construction. 

Excavation teams worked 

from both sides of the hill in 

three shifts, six days a week, 

carving a 1970m long tunnel; 

the longest road tunnel in New 

Zealand (until 2017 when it 

was surpassed by the 2400m 

Waterview Tunnel in Auckland). 

Spoil from the tunnel was 

used in the construction of 

the 5km motorway leading 

to the Heathcote portal from 

Ferry Rd, also necessitating the 

construction of several large 

bridges. 

Preparation for an increase 

in traffic in Lyttelton was 

undertaken on Norwich Quay; 

widening the road, attending 

to curbing and drainage 

and constructing a concrete 

overbridge above the railway 

yards. 

Lining the tunnel walls with 

1,2500,000 glazed white ceramic 

tiles made in the NZ Insulators 

factory in Temuka, with another 

250,000 yellow roof tiles being 

imported from England, took 

longer than the groundworks to 

create the tunnel itself. 

On February 23, 1964 the 

tunnel, which had come in 

under budget at £2.7 million, 

was opened for pedestrians to 

experience walking its gleaming 

length. 

The official opening 

ceremonies on February 27 

began with the arrival of the

Governor General Brigadier Sir 

Bernard Ferguson announced 

by a fanfare of trumpets. The 

elaborate welcome was followed 

by addresses by Prime Minister 

Keith Holyoake and other 

dignitaries. 

Afternoon tea was then held at 

the Upham Memorial Garden, 

with the Lyttelton Marine Band 

playing the march Lyttelton, 

composed especially for the 

occasion. 

Ten thousand vehicles 

christened the tunnel free of toll 

charges on that day, with the 

queue to enter the tunnel from 

the city side stretching all the 

way to Moorhouse Ave. Tunnel 

staff wore smart uniforms 

complete with peaked hats. 

The Heathcote portal was 

graced with an award-winning 

modernist administration 

building designed by Peter 

Beaven, envisaged by him to be 

a fifth sister ship to the first four 

Canterbury Association vessels

Happy history-exciting future 

As-is, Where-is 

18 Godley Drive, Sumner 

Auction 9 March 11am (USP) 

3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 living room, 

2 car garage, 2 off-steet parks 

Listing No. FM6005 

Open Homes: Wed, Sat & Sun 2.15-3pm 

Here is your chance to get yourself into a topnotch 

location at an affordable price if you're 

prepared to roll up your sleeves and put in 

some hard work. Being sold unrepaired on 

an "as-is, where-is" basis. 

The design of this multi-level American style 

home was based on an award-winning Long 

Island beach house in New York and is clad 

with Canadian western red cedar shingles. 

It's well positioned on the north facing side 

of Scarborough Hill with supreme views 

sweeping from east to west, incorporating 

Taylors Mistake over the horizon around to 

Sumner Beach, along the Pegasus Bay 

Coastline taking in the Port Hills and 

Southern Alps. 

The home basks in all day sun from dawn to 

dusk and has brilliant easy drive on access 

and a level manageable section, protected by 

macrocarpa hedging. 

On the middle floor, light and bright living 

is open plan with the dining and sizeable 

kitchen and features timber floors. 

A recycled Oregon and steel spiral staircase 

connects the 3 levels. A lofty master 

bedroom suite on the top floor has a tiled 

ensuite and a balcony where you can lap up 

spectacular views, while the other 2 

bedrooms and a family bathroom are located 

on the ground floor. There is potential to 

extend the home on the ground floor under 

the dining room. 

Located between 2 great surfing beaches and 

with biking and walking tracks on your 

doorstep, and Sumner Village just a short 

drive away, families will benefit from the 

lifestyle on offer here. 

Fabulous opportunity to live in a popular 

part of Scarborough amongst quality homes.

ADVERTISING FEATURE 

We’re 

strengthening 

our electricity 

network 

Orion is installing a new 66kV underground power 

cable at the intersection of Ferry Road and Hargood 

Street, as part of a major project we are undertaking 

in Christchurch city to replace older cables. 

We will have traffic management in place as we are laying these 

cables. There may be traffic delays on Ferry Road, near Hargood 

Street, until mid-March. These are essential upgrades to the 

network, to enhance the resilience and security of the network. 

Please allow extra time for your journey and follow all signage and 

instructions from our team on site. Thank you for your patience.
