Music festival delivers<br />

• By Heidi Slade<br />

THE PORT Noise festival<br />

took over Lyttelton last<br />

Saturday for a night of eclectic<br />

Kiwi music.<br />

Organiser and headline<br />

performer Ben Woods said<br />

seeing the hard work come<br />

together felt surreal.<br />

Sixteen acts performed<br />

at Loons, Wunderbar and<br />

Lyttelton Coffee Company.<br />

The line-up included local<br />

acts Ferby and Delaney<br />

Davidson, as well as Womb<br />

and Glass Vaults from<br />

Wellington.<br />

Festival goers were encouraged<br />

to enjoy a bit of<br />

everything music-wise – and<br />

to hopefully find something<br />

new.<br />

“I think everyone at Port<br />

Noise saw something that<br />

they knew and loved, and<br />

a couple things they didn’t<br />

know that blew them away,”<br />

said Woods.<br />

This was the organisers’<br />

mission from the beginning.<br />

The festival, however,<br />

couldn’t have come off<br />

without the support and<br />

enthusiasm of the Lyttelton<br />

community.<br />

Said Woods: “We literally<br />

couldn’t have done it on our<br />

own.”<br />

cameras<br />

• By Tony Simons<br />

RESIDENTS calling for noisedetecting<br />

cameras to be installed<br />

between Lyttelton and Governors<br />

<strong>Bay</strong> are getting the run-around,<br />

with Government agencies<br />

seemingly duck-shoving the idea<br />

from one agency to the next.<br />

Cass <strong>Bay</strong> and Governors <strong>Bay</strong><br />

residents want the cameras in<br />

place to catch noisy drivers regularly<br />

racing their cars between<br />

Lyttelton and Governors <strong>Bay</strong>.<br />

Said city council<br />

transport operations<br />

manager<br />

Stephen Wright:<br />

“The installation<br />

of these type of<br />

cameras would<br />

need to be initiated<br />

by police.”<br />

But Canterbury<br />

road policing<br />

manager Inspector Natasha<br />

Stephen<br />

Wright<br />

Rodley said police are concerned<br />

about noisy and speeding cars in<br />

the bay area.<br />

Davidson looks to Parliament<br />

THE TE Pātaka o Rākaihautū Banks<br />

Peninsula Community Board needs a<br />

new board member – and chair<br />

– after Reuben Davidson’s latest<br />

bid to get into Parliament.<br />

Davidson was selected<br />

at the weekend as Labour’s<br />

candidate for Christchurch East<br />

in October’s general election.<br />

Sitting Christchurch East MP<br />

Poto Williams is retiring from<br />

politics.<br />

Reuben<br />

Davidson<br />

The move will trigger a by-election<br />

for the community board. Davidson<br />

is also its chair, meaning that<br />

too will change after the byelection.<br />

Davidson stood for Labour<br />

in the traditional National<br />

stronghold of Selwyn in the<br />

2020 general election, polling<br />

13,653 votes, 4943 behind<br />

National’s Nicola Grigg who<br />

took the seat.<br />

Davidson said he would<br />

community board salary to the<br />

the board he is paid about $20,000 a<br />

year. He will resign before the general<br />

THE SUNDAY Food Truck<br />

Alley at the Mt Pleasant<br />

Community Centre celebrated<br />

one year in business at the<br />

weekend.<br />

It was about this time last<br />

year nine traders first tried their<br />

luck with the event, soon after<br />

Covid-19 hit.<br />

“Those were uncertain times,”<br />

said event manager Derek Mc-<br />

Cullough.<br />

“But the traders were overwhelmed<br />

by the response, with<br />

most selling out that day.”<br />

It has now become a popular<br />

community event, he said.<br />

“Right from the start people<br />

brought their chairs and blankets<br />

and made a picnic of it.”<br />

The food truck alley expanded<br />

to 16 traders this summer, went<br />

all electric, and a programme of<br />

local music was added, as well<br />

as a craft brewer, said Mc-<br />

Cullough.<br />

It is now run weekly during<br />

daylight savings time, with the<br />

last alley of the season on<br />

<strong>March</strong> 26.<br />

taking advantage of a Sunday<br />

evening with no cooking and<br />

dishes,” said McCullough.<br />

Profits from the rent of the site<br />

go back to the community.<br />

“We’ve raised about $10,000<br />

towards the operation of the<br />

community centre, but the real<br />

benefit, perhaps more than the<br />

money, is the establishment of a<br />

community event that provides<br />

a ‘bump space’ for the locals,”<br />

McCullough said.<br />

Residents frustrated<br />

by boy racer activity<br />

• From page 1<br />

However, ownership of traffic<br />

safety cameras rests with Waka<br />

Kotahi, and that includes looking<br />

at any emerging technology,<br />

Rodley said.<br />

Said a Waka Kotahi spokesperson:<br />

“(These cameras) are not<br />

a priority compared to the need<br />

to save lives on state highways,<br />

and (for local roads) you need to<br />

talk to the council or community<br />

board to see if it is something<br />

they think would be worthwhile.”<br />

There is at least one overseas<br />

company offering noise detection<br />

cameras, which are being used<br />

in the United Kingdom and the<br />

United States to help enforcement<br />

authorities catch offenders.<br />

Locals from Cass <strong>Bay</strong> to<br />

Governors <strong>Bay</strong> continue to be<br />

frustrated. Police seem powerless<br />

to stop the racers, because by the<br />

time they arrive the offenders<br />

have often moved on.<br />

Cass <strong>Bay</strong> resident Scott Adams<br />

said efforts to get the cameras<br />

have not progressed “but we are<br />

doing work in preparation”.<br />

Residents want the cameras<br />

because they detect loud engine<br />

noise, read registration plate<br />

numbers and can send the<br />

information directly to authorities.<br />

They suggest the evidence<br />

collected could be used to<br />

OPTION: A noise-activated<br />

camera in place in New York<br />

City.<br />

impound or green sticker offending<br />

vehicles.<br />

Wright has confirmed<br />

conventional crime cameras are<br />

being installed at Naval Point.<br />

There are discussions about<br />

another camera at the Dyers<br />

Pass Rd – Governors <strong>Bay</strong> Rd<br />

intersection, but funding is yet to<br />

be approved. It is expected to cost<br />

$8000-10,000, Wright said.<br />

Triathletes return to<br />

CHAMPIONS: Andrew Abakhan from Sumner won the men’s<br />

50-59 years triathlon title.<br />

THE SEA2SKY Challenge<br />

roared back to life at<br />

Scarborough beach for the first<br />

time in three years due to the<br />

Covid-19 restrictions.<br />

About 350 athletes, ranging<br />

from children as young as five<br />

to veterans like Sumner 71-yearold<br />

Sharron Prutton, competed<br />

in the triathlon, duathlon and<br />

running events on Sunday.<br />

Said event director John Newsom:<br />

“Seeing crowds back on the<br />

sidelines to cheer their friends<br />

and family across the finish line<br />

certainly gave the event a huge<br />

lift this year.”<br />

The blue ribbon triathlon/duathlon<br />

saw athletes swim 750m,<br />

or run 2.4km, cycle up Evans<br />

Pass and Summit Rds then run<br />

from Godley Head to Taylors<br />

Mistake and over Scarborough<br />

Hill.<br />

Sumner athlete and event<br />

sponsor Andrew Abakhan<br />

from Physiosouth successfully<br />

defended his men’s 50-59 years<br />

triathlon title. Sue Lazar won the<br />

women’s triathlon 60-69 years<br />

and Malcolm Thornton took out<br />

the men’s triathlon 60-69 years.<br />

Said Abakhan: “I’d like<br />

to think being a local, and<br />

knowing the roads and trails inside-out,<br />

gave me an advantage<br />

but it was actually the swim that<br />

was the difference between first<br />

and second.” Redcliffs resident<br />

Brad Richards from sponsor<br />

Brad Richards Building completed<br />

the 17km run challenge<br />

after recently participating in<br />

the Coast to Coast.<br />

“I haven’t done much since the<br />

Coast to Coast so today was a<br />

bit of a struggle but this is such<br />

a cool course. We are proud to<br />

have our business supporting<br />

such a great local event that has<br />

options for all ages and abilities.<br />

My daughter completed her first<br />

big duathlon today which was<br />

great to see.”<br />

AI used to find pest plants<br />

• By Heidi Slade<br />

IDENTIFYING pest plants<br />

using artificial intelligence is<br />

now a step closer on Banks<br />

Peninsula.<br />

Environment Canterbury<br />

biodiversity team leader Matt<br />

Smith said the software is in<br />

its early stages of development<br />

but could be used in future to<br />

identify nassella tussock and<br />

other invasive plants spreading<br />

across the peninsula.<br />

Smith said the spread of the<br />

tussock puts “the<br />

whole peninsula<br />

at risk and it’s<br />

a very costly<br />

pest for farmers<br />

to have to deal<br />

with.’’<br />

The current<br />

model used to<br />

Matt Smith<br />

identify the<br />

tussock requires<br />

high-resolution imagery, only<br />

available by using a fixed wing<br />

aircraft, which is cost prohibitive<br />

in larger areas.<br />

Smith hopes the AI<br />

technology would change this in<br />

time. Tracking pest populations<br />

is a large part of ECan’s work.<br />

“I imagine it [AI technology]<br />

will be a huge part of how we<br />

operate as an organisation in the<br />

future,’’ Smith said.<br />

“We really are just at the<br />

PEST: Nassella tussock is an invasive grass that is<br />

spreading across Banks Peninsula. PHOTO: ECAN<br />

beginning of it.”<br />

If the development of<br />

the programme continues<br />

successfully, landowners on<br />

the peninsula will benefit,<br />

Smith said. On large properties<br />

contractors are hired to search<br />

for pest plants like nassella<br />

tussock, which can cost $30,000-<br />

$40,000 a year, Smith said.<br />

“The efficiency is created<br />

with people knowing exactly<br />

where they’re going. (AI) would<br />

halve the amount of time and<br />

money they’re spending on<br />

contractors.’’<br />

The team are looking to find<br />

similar areas of high nassella<br />

tussock density to take more<br />

images.<br />

“We’re just starting to dip our<br />

toes in the water,’’ Smith said.<br />

From pub fires<br />

and school blazes<br />

to the earthquakes<br />

• By Heidi Slade<br />

GREG BOWATER has fought<br />

fires and attended other<br />

emergencies stretching back<br />

to the late 1970s. But nothing<br />

compares with the aftermath<br />

of the February 22, 2011,<br />

earthquake when he spent three<br />

solid weeks helping Lyttelton<br />

recover.<br />

On Saturday night, the<br />

Lyttelton Volunteer Fire Brigade<br />

member was recognised for his<br />

service with a gold star award for<br />

25 years of accumulative service.<br />

He was working on a building<br />

site in Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> when<br />

the earthquake struck. Bowater<br />

said the whole site shook.<br />

“We arrived [in Lyttelton] to<br />

find water everywhere, rocks and<br />

retaining walls strewn all over<br />

the road,’’ he said.<br />

“That was us for the next three<br />

weeks – working for the fire<br />

brigade.’’<br />

Bowater thinks it was 1979<br />

when he signed up with the<br />

Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> volunteer<br />

brigade.<br />

“There was just a group of us,<br />

boys really. We’d heard about<br />

this fire brigade and the fun that<br />

can be had. I’ve always been<br />

grateful that I did that,” he said.<br />

Bowater remains in close<br />

contact with friends from the<br />

Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> brigade,<br />

some of whom he went to school<br />

with at Cashmere High. During<br />

the 1990s, Bowater moved to<br />

Lyttelton with his wife Andrea<br />

and their four children. He then<br />

joined the Lyttelton brigade.<br />

During his career as a<br />

volunteer firefighter, Bowater<br />

said the brigade has been to<br />

about <strong>15</strong>,000 calls-outs.<br />

One that sticks in his memory<br />

was when the Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong><br />

brigade raced to the Wheatsheaf<br />

hotel which burned down on<br />

Teddington Rd. “I didn’t think<br />

that a fire engine could go that<br />

fast,” he said.<br />

When the brigade arrived at<br />

the scene, there were “flames<br />

roaring out of every window.”<br />

All of the occupants were<br />

evacuated, but only the front<br />

section of the hotel was left<br />

standing. In the days following<br />

the fire, the community held a<br />

working bee at the site.<br />

Bowater also recalled a fire at<br />

the Port Levy school house.<br />

“At the top of the hill looking<br />

down, the bay was full of<br />

smoke,” he said.<br />

By the time the brigade<br />

arrived, the building had already<br />

burnt to the ground.<br />

Bowater’s gold star award<br />

ceremony was held at his “second<br />

home” – the Naval Point Club.<br />

Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> born and<br />

bred, Bowater is a familiar face<br />

in the community.<br />

He took over his father’s<br />

building company, Bowater<br />

Builders, which is now based in<br />

Lyttelton.<br />

The company won gold in<br />

the Master Builders House of<br />

the Year awards in 2018, as<br />

well as craftsmen of the year<br />

for Canterbury. Bowater is still<br />

heavily involved in the Naval<br />

Point Club and sees the harbour<br />

as his “playground.”<br />

“It’s just the community<br />

involvement, putting a bit of<br />

effort in for the locals. But it’s<br />

also great fun.’’<br />

Recipe for success: Chicken noddle soup<br />

• By Jaime Cunningham<br />

AMELIA SYKES has a few<br />

techniques she likes to use to<br />

win races. She takes a deep<br />

breath at the starting gate, tries<br />

not to overthink it – and makes<br />

sure she eats her mum’s chicken<br />

noodle soup.<br />

And after her success at<br />

the national track cycling<br />

championships, there is no<br />

doubting her technique.<br />

Sykes, 18, claimed seven<br />

elite titles across a range of<br />

events at the championships<br />

in Invercargill. It was the most<br />

successful nationals to date for<br />

the Sumner rider and her sixth<br />

appearance at the event.<br />

“It’s been my best year and<br />

probably the highest level I’ve<br />

ever raced in,” she said.<br />

Sykes, who has previously<br />

trained at Cycling New Zealand<br />

high performance camps,<br />

dominated the endurance<br />

events, winning the 3000m<br />

individual pursuit final (3m<br />

37.5sec) and points race,<br />

finishing with 41. She was also<br />

the only rider to collect 20 bonus<br />

points for lapping the field.<br />

Sykes also took out the<br />

combined team pursuit title,<br />

scratch and elimination<br />

honours, as well as the 500m<br />

time trial (36.2sec) and team<br />

sprint.<br />

She describes herself as an<br />

slow her mind down during<br />

Tales Of A Vet Nurse<br />

by Jade Pengelly<br />

The highs and heartbreak of caring for the animals we love.<br />

You never know who or what is going to walk, crawl or slither<br />

through the doors of veterinary hospital...<br />

Clumsy Luna the Greyhound and her fragile front legs; the<br />

tortoise in need of a prosthetic leg; Jock the Saint Bernard and his<br />

problematic eyelashes; Edward the Burmese cat and his extravagant<br />

diet; the burly farmer and the world’s tiniest Chihuahua, Lulu-bell... there is never a<br />

dull day in the life of a vet nurse. As the people who care for them around the clock,<br />

vet nurses are uniquely placed to speak for their patients and help us understand<br />

what our pets are going through.<br />

From emergency shifts at a posh London practice to a busy country hospital treating<br />

all manner of wildlife - snakes, foxes, hedgehogs - to working with equine-surgeons<br />

and teaching the art of care to new generations of vet nurses in New Zealand, Tales<br />

of a Vet Nurse is about a life devoted to saving our beloved and unconditional<br />

friends. Along the way, Jade enlightens readers to the forbidden feasts of Labradors,<br />

the dangers of x-raying prize-winning showjumpers, and the most common pets<br />

she sees as clinic inpatients.<br />

PARIS - The Memoir<br />

by Paris Hilton<br />

out of situations. I know how to<br />

get out the gate.<br />

“It’s just about using little<br />

techniques.<br />

“When I get to the start gate<br />

I take a deep breath to centre<br />

myself to where I am and what<br />

I’m doing . . . I guess you could<br />

say I engage the beast within<br />

me,” she said.<br />

The teenager has a few useful<br />

methods off the track too. Sykes<br />

believes a lot of her success<br />

is due to her mum Marnie’s<br />

chicken noodle soup, which she<br />

first tasted when she started<br />

racing.<br />

“As I have grown up<br />

and moved out, she makes it<br />

when I’m not feeling 100 per<br />

cent or to have when I get home<br />

from racing late at night,” she<br />

said.<br />

After such a successful<br />

nationals in the elite category,<br />

Sykes hopes to be selected in<br />

Cycling New Zealand’s high<br />

performance squad in the<br />

future.<br />

“I’ve trained alongside them<br />

in two camps and I’d love to get<br />

the tap on the shoulder when<br />

they’re ready,” she said.<br />

“It’s a really cool thing for<br />

me to get into, but if I doesn’t<br />

happen soon it’s okay.”<br />

Sykes will now turn her<br />

focus to the Oceania track<br />

championships in Brisbane<br />

from <strong>March</strong> 24-28.<br />

THIS BOOK<br />

Behind Paris Hilton’s meteoric rise from Upper West Side club kid to household<br />

name lies her self-proclaimed ‘superpower’ of ADHD and a hidden history that<br />

traumatized and defined her. Shocking, funny and surprisingly profound, Paris is<br />

the deeply personal memoir of the ultimate It Girl and a stunning inside view of a<br />

pop culture phenomenon. Paris Hilton was simply the billionaire heiress America<br />

had watched grow up on television, on the internet, and in tabloids. But there<br />

was always more to Paris Hilton than met the eye. In this revealing and thoughtprovoking<br />

book, Paris will separate the creation from the creator, the brand from the<br />

ambassador, and show the woman who grew up with incredible privilege, but who<br />

was also trapped in a world of unreasonable expectation at a moment when young<br />

women were humiliated for sport in a gossip economy on steroids. Paris recounts<br />

her perilous journey through pre-#METOO sexual politics with grace, generosity,<br />

and plenty of fun, rising above a series of heart-wrenching challenges to find<br />

healing, lasting love and a life of meaning and purpose. The parallel story arcs in<br />

Paris’ braided narrative come to full bloom as a watershed portrait of the Noughties,<br />

challenging each of us to question our role in her story and her role in ours. The<br />

result is an intimate and unexpected memoir about persona and personification,<br />

the price of being young and disobedient, and the complexity of manifesting your<br />

dreams after watching part of yourself disappear.<br />

achievements were “amazing” in<br />

the challenging surf.<br />

“[They] all did amazingly well<br />

and I have huge admiration for<br />

the skill and strength [they] all<br />

showed out there in that huge<br />

surf. Well done to the lifeguards<br />

and coaches who have worked so<br />

hard over the last three years to<br />

get here,” she said.<br />

Sumner had medallists in the<br />

2km run events. Ben Isles finishing<br />

third in the men’s under-19<br />

Feedback wanted<br />

It’s a year since<br />

on<br />

Environment<br />

draft Annual<br />

Canterbury<br />

Plan<br />

declared a climate-change emergency<br />

JENNY HUGHEY explains what<br />

the council has been doing.<br />

The formal declaration of a<br />

state of climate emergency across<br />

Canterbury was one of the most<br />

serious, and colourful, moments<br />

in the regional council’s more than<br />

30-year history.<br />

A year ago this Saturday,<br />

at 11.49am, Environment<br />

Canterbury became New Zealand’s<br />

first council to proclaim such an<br />

emergency, formally dedicating<br />

itself to consideration of climate<br />

change at the heart of all it does.<br />

The declaration highlighted<br />

that all the work Environment<br />

Canterbury does – from<br />

freshwater management to<br />

biodiversity and biosecurity,<br />

transport and urban development<br />

to air quality, and also regional<br />

leadership – has a climate change<br />

focus.<br />

Currently, under the Resource<br />

Management Act, regional<br />

councils are required only to adapt<br />

to climate change, not mitigate<br />

it – that responsibility is the<br />

Government’s, but could change.<br />

Even in ‘adapt mode’ many<br />

of Environment Canterbury’s<br />

existing policies and plans already<br />

contribute to reduced emissions.<br />

In declaring the climate<br />

emergency, the Council noted it<br />

would continue to show leadership<br />

on climate-change and do so<br />

MADE IT: I Am Hope founder Mike<br />

King with Jack Lynskey-Reid after<br />

his epic 138km fundraiser.<br />

without adding new programmes<br />

at ratepayers’ expense. It also gave<br />

staff a clear mandate to continue<br />

A SERIOUS case of sore feet might have<br />

been the outcome, but for builder Jack<br />

Lynskey-Reid the results of his recent<br />

fundraising run “definitely made it<br />

worthwhile”.<br />

Starting at 7am on Friday, <strong>March</strong> 10,<br />

Lynskey-Reid covered 23 laps of Hagley<br />

Park, a distance of 138kms, finishing at<br />

7am on Saturday, <strong>March</strong> 11. His efforts<br />

raised more than $20,000 for the youth<br />

and community-focused support group I<br />

Am Hope.<br />

The amount was double his original<br />

target.<br />

Lynskey-Reid ran the first 14 laps, at<br />

which stage his feet had become very sore,<br />

so he biked for a further five laps, a distance<br />

of 30kms, then walked the last four<br />

laps after changing into looser shoes.<br />

“I ran two marathons in 12 hours, and<br />

by the last two laps I had to push through<br />

the pain,” he said.<br />

Support from family, friends and workmates<br />

boosted his efforts.<br />

“A busload of New Zealand Army boys<br />

arrived at the beginning and did a few<br />

laps with me.<br />

“A lot of people did laps with me, and<br />

they’d never run so far in their life. Fifty<br />

people ran the last lap and my parents<br />

and some mates were there through the<br />

whole night supporting me.”<br />

Lynskey-Reid says he felt mentally fine<br />

throughout, and physically fine apart<br />

from the sore feet.<br />

An after-function was held on the Saturday<br />

night at the Boys’ High Old Boys<br />

Rugby Club, where Mike King spoke and<br />

presented Jack with a gift. Mike founded<br />

The Key to Life Charitable Trust in 2010,<br />

which runs the I Am Hope support<br />

group.<br />

Following the fundraiser, Lynskey-Reid<br />

was taking some time off work to allow<br />

his feet to recover.<br />

“The boss told me to come back when<br />

I’m ready,” he said.<br />

REAL ESTATE<br />

Sumner Stunner<br />

67 Wakefield Avenue, Sumner<br />

Auction: 11.00am, 23 <strong>March</strong> <strong>2023</strong> (Unless Sold Prior)<br />

3 Bed | 2 Living | 2 Off Street Parks | 1 Bathroom<br />

Have you been waiting for the<br />

summertime rush of listings on the flat<br />

in Sumner, but noticed it hasn’t come this<br />

year? Well here’s one for you, welcome to<br />

67 Wakefield Avenue.<br />

A sunny, open plan living, dining and<br />

kitchen area forms the heart of the home.<br />

The decor is light and neutral while the<br />

original rimu floorboards provide texture<br />

and warmth and effortlessly connects the<br />

main living space to the private, secure<br />

and family friendly rear yard.<br />

Featuring three bedrooms, updated<br />

bathroom with separate loo, newly<br />

installed HRV and log burner, along with<br />

the convenience of a heat pump, this<br />

house provides year round comfort and is<br />

future proofed for generations to come.<br />

Lovingly maintained and immaculately<br />

presented both inside and out, this<br />

home has been a labour of love for our<br />

vendors, but with a move up the hills on<br />

the horizon (quite literally), they offer up<br />

their humble abode to the market.<br />

Family homes like this are seldom<br />

available in the village, and being so<br />

close to the local shops, bars, cafes and of<br />

course the beach, your earliest inspection<br />

is advised.<br />

Pop along to an open home or call us<br />

now for more information.<br />

TREASURES FROM THE PAST 19<br />

The Hurunui opens Lyttelton’s dry dock<br />

THE HURUNUI was the first<br />

ship to enter the new graving or<br />

dry dock in Ōhinehou<br />

Lyttelton at its opening on<br />

January 3, 1883. She literally<br />

broke the ribbon as she entered<br />

the dock, witnessed by a crowd<br />

enthusiastic about Lyttelton’s port<br />

development.<br />

The dock opening was a grand<br />

affair, including an extravagant<br />

banquet hosted by the <strong>Harbour</strong><br />

Board to mark the important occasion.<br />

Coastal and trans-Tasman<br />

vessels made most use of the dock<br />

in the early years, while many<br />

foreign vessels continued to undergo<br />

maintenance in their home<br />

ports. The facility’s popularity<br />

increased such that, although<br />

now much changed, it remains<br />

an essential element of port infrastructure<br />

and is in constant use.<br />

The Hurunui itself was built<br />

in 1875 for the New Zealand<br />

Shipping Co and was an iron<br />

sailing ship weighing 1054<br />

tonnes. She was changed from<br />

being full-rigged to barque-rigged<br />

in 1890 and was sold to Russian<br />

owners in 1896, thenceforth being<br />

named Hermes. WW1 sealed her<br />

fate as she was sunk by a German<br />

submarine in 19<strong>15</strong>.<br />

An update on museum plans<br />

Proposed new museum design by Warren and Mahoney.<br />

AT THE TIME of writing we<br />

are eagerly anticipating news of<br />

the outcome of our application<br />

for resource consent for the<br />

proposed new museum. We<br />

would be very happy, along<br />

with our partners Te Hapū o<br />

Ngāti Wheke, to be the first new<br />

building in the block between<br />

Oxford and Canterbury Sts<br />

since the February 22, 2011<br />

earthquake devastated Lyttelton’s<br />

town centre.<br />

In 1969, led by the<br />

inspirational Baden Norris,<br />

a dedicated team of local<br />

volunteers opened the first<br />

Lyttelton Museum in the<br />

former Shipping Company<br />

Headquarters on Hawkhurst<br />

Rd. In 1980 came a move to the<br />

old Merchant Navy Centre on<br />

Gladstone Quay, which was the<br />

museum’s home for 30 years. The<br />

collection grew to include more<br />

than 20,000 objects, photographs<br />

and resources donated by the<br />

people of Lyttelton, the wider<br />

harbour community, and<br />

beyond.<br />

Sadly, the earthquakes caused<br />

significant damage to the<br />

premises, forcing the museum’s<br />

closure and necessitating<br />

demolition. However the<br />

Lyttelton Volunteer Fire Brigade<br />

and Air Force Museum of New<br />

Zealand staff were able to rescue<br />

the precious artefacts, which are<br />

now in safe storage at the Air<br />

Force Museum at Wigram.<br />

In 2016, Lyttelton Historical<br />

Museum Society members voted<br />

to proceed with plans for a new<br />

museum. Following the vision<br />

of Baden Norris and respected<br />

previous president Dr Kerry<br />

McCarthy, the proposed new<br />

museum will weave together<br />

stories unique to this special<br />

region. It will be a place to<br />

share, celebrate and preserve the<br />

taonga and stories of Ōhinehou<br />

Lyttelton and Whakaraupō<br />

Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong> under six<br />

key themes: mana whenua,<br />

colonial Canterbury, Lyttelton<br />

local, maritime, Antarctic, and<br />

Whakaraupō by nature.<br />

Conversations with Te Hapū<br />

o Ngāti Wheke and local artist<br />

Nathan Pohio have informed the<br />

design of the proposed building.<br />

We want the new museum to<br />

support appropriate tikanga so it<br />

can be a place entrusted to hold<br />

and share stories and taonga of<br />

mana whenua for the benefit of<br />

the whole community and its<br />

visitors.<br />

Once built, Te Ūaka The<br />

Lyttelton Museum will host<br />

a range of long-term and<br />

changing exhibitions. There will<br />

be a dedicated research space<br />

providing access to the collection<br />

and curatorial expertise, public<br />

talks, workshops, and education<br />

programmes that align with<br />

school curricula. Intended as a<br />

shared facility, it will be a site of<br />

collaboration with like-minded<br />

community groups, artists,<br />

researchers and education<br />

providers.<br />

NEW ZEALAND SAIL GRAND PRIX<br />

CHRISTCHURCH<br />

SAILGP’S<br />

LONG-AWAITED<br />

NEW ZEALAND<br />

DEBUT


26 <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News Wednesday <strong>March</strong> <strong>15</strong> <strong>2023</strong><br />

seeing is BELIEVING<br />

High-speed, high-tech and high emotion – SailGP is<br />

live action racing like you’ve never seen before.<br />

Thousands of fans are set to experience the inaugural ITM<br />

New Zealand Sail Grand Prix this weekend in Ōtautahi,<br />

Christchurch. Hometown hero the New Zealand SailGP<br />

Team heads into its home debut in second position on the<br />

Season 3 Leaderboard, with France hot on their tail and<br />

fierce rivals Australia in top spot. With the top four teams<br />

neck and neck, it will be all to play for as the fleet pushes<br />

its limits on Whakaraupō, Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong> - the final<br />

stop before the Season 3 Grand Final in San Francisco on<br />

May 6-7.<br />

Naval Point will soon be transformed into the ITM New<br />

Zealand Sail Grand Prix Race Village. Here, ticket holders<br />

will experience a wide selection of food and beverages, live<br />

music, expert commentary, sponsor activations and much<br />

more. Racing is set to take place from 3PM - 4:30PM on<br />

Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 <strong>March</strong> with gates opening from<br />

midday. Patrons are encouraged to arrive early to enjoy live<br />

activations and the vibrant, festive atmosphere on-site.<br />

nATiOn VS<br />

nATiOn<br />

Nine national teams are contesting the third season of<br />

SailGP, and as the boats are identical and constantly<br />

upgraded with the same set-up, it is the skill of the worldclass<br />

athletes on board and the decisions they make that<br />

decide races, not the technology.<br />

The boats are powered by gigantic, vertical wing sails<br />

that can be configured in three different heights, with<br />

the common setting the 24-metre wingsail. The biggest<br />

wing size helps produce extra power in light airs, while a<br />

smaller configuration allows for flat-out racing in stronger<br />

winds, ensuring racing can take place across a much wider<br />

spectrum of wind conditions.<br />

In lighter winds, weight also becomes a telling factor and,<br />

in these conditions, the teams race with two fewer athletes<br />

on board in an attempt to gain an advantage, creating a<br />

true test of the athletes’ skills.<br />

The addition of two new teams this season - Canada and<br />

Switzerland - has raised the stakes further, making for<br />

a busier race-course, which has seen even the slightest<br />

mistake punished!<br />

Back-to-back champion, the Australian SailGP team,<br />

remains the only crew to have lifted the coveted SailGP<br />

trophy, taking it home in both Season 1 and 2. But the New<br />

Zealand SailGP team has been showing strong recent<br />

results, and cracking the F50 code.<br />

Season 3 of SailGP includes many of the sport’s top<br />

athletes including New Zealand’s Peter Burling, as well as<br />

two-time SailGP champion Tom Slingsby (AUS). Other<br />

legends of the sport include Sir Ben Ainslie (GBR) and<br />

Jimmy Spithill (USA).<br />

The ITM New Zealand Sail Grand Prix| Christchurch is<br />

the second-to-last event on the race calendar, so you can<br />

expect thrilling competition on Whakaraupō, Lyttelton<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong> as the teams battle it at the final stop before the<br />

grand final in San Francisco.<br />

INSPIRING THE<br />

NEXT GENERATION<br />

Launched in the league’s inaugural season in 2019,<br />

Inspire is SailGP’s community, education and outreach<br />

initiative, powered by our belief that sailing can be a<br />

force for good, Powered by Nature, Driven by Purpose.<br />

SailGP Inspire aims to serve a leading role in helping to<br />

diversify the sport of sailing for youth without race, gender,<br />

and socioeconomic status presenting a barrier to entry.<br />

SailGP Inspire works with each of its host venues and<br />

partners to offer programs that create impact within the<br />

local community and most importantly leave a legacy,<br />

and has engaged more than 10,000 young people to date<br />

across the programme’s three pillars: learning, racing and<br />

careers.<br />

The action-packed SailGP Inspire programme will reach<br />

into the local community, schools and boating clubs to<br />

engage more than 200 people in the lead up to and during<br />

the ITM New Zealand Sail Grand Prix. More than 30 interns<br />

will be matched with SailGP teams and in other roles across<br />

the organisation for a week-long immersion in various fields<br />

- from boatbuilding and hydraulics to broadcast media and<br />

hospitality.<br />

Through the Inspire Learning program, nearly 200 yeareight<br />

students from various Christchurch schools will be<br />

provided with a hands-on learning experience in a series<br />

of science, technology, engineering and mathematics<br />

(STEM)-based learning activities and challenges, centred<br />

around the sport of sailing.<br />

Canterbury Yacht Clubs will also be in on the action, with<br />

nine local clubs paired with a respective national team in<br />

a weeklong partnership that will include a technical tour<br />

of the SailGP event village and a visit with their adopted<br />

team. And finally, youth sailors and wing foilers will get to<br />

go behind the scenes, meet the world’s best athletes, with<br />

some (WASZP sailors) taking part in a racing programme<br />

on the F50 racecourse, directly in front of sold-out crowds<br />

at Naval Point.<br />

LEAVING A<br />

LEGACY<br />

In every city it visits, SailGP teams up with a local<br />

community purpose project as part of the league’s Host<br />

City Climate Action Charter. Projects focus on areas<br />

including clean energy impact, and wider environmental<br />

issues, including wetland and ocean restoration.<br />

In Christchurch, the chosen project is the Ōmaru Stream<br />

Restoration Project. Led by Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke<br />

Rāpaki, the project aims to restore the forests surrounding<br />

Whakaraupō by restoring vegetation, reducing pests, and<br />

enabling biodiversity to flourish and reduce sediment<br />

running into the harbour.<br />
