Banks Peninsula electorate race
DECISION DAY LOOMS
• By Dylan Smits
FRIDAY 2PM.
That’s when Vanessa Weenink
and Tracey McLellan will know
who will be in Parliament as
Banks Peninsula MP.
National’s Weenink held a
tight 83-vote election night
majority over sitting Labour
MP Tracey McLellan, with the
all important special votes to be
known at 2pm on Friday.
Said Weenink: “It is not an
easy time for those of us who
are on the cusp, waiting to see
what might happen.”
Weenink was part of the blue
wave which swept across the
country. But she will need to hold
her election night majority to
make it into Parliament. She is
No 40 on the National list – not
high enough to become an MP.
It is also unclear whether
McLellan will make it into
Parliament if she loses the
electorate. She is on the cut-off
point at No 27 on the Labour
list and her fate may depend on
the outcome of other electorate
results when special votes are
released.

DOWNSIZING: A couple sold their Scarborough home for $3.05 million and bought a new
build in Sumner for $2 million just hours later.
PHOTO: NZ HERALD
Couple make $1m, buy
new home hours later
• By Nikki Preston
A COUPLE pocketed $1 million
of rainy-day money after
they sold their lavish home in
Scarborough and bought a newbuild
just hours later.
Their four-bedroom home on
Scarborough Rd, sold under the
hammer for $3.05m – $300,000
more than RV – after competitive
bidding from two buyers.
Bayleys listing agent Steve Ellis
said it was a good result considering
the house’s age.
His delighted
vendors moved
from one sale to
the next, going
unconditional just a
few hours later on a
smaller three-bedroom,
new-build
Steve Ellis
on Nayland St, in
Sumner, which had been priced
at just under $2m.
Ellis said the downsizing
market in Christchurch was
“significant” and was driving
demand for single-level homes,
which, he said, were few and far
between.
“That’s what I’m trying to
encourage developers to build
more of because (my buyers)
don’t want stairs.”
Other options were building
the master suite downstairs and
having the guest wing upstairs or
installing a lift, he said.
“As soon as 70-year-olds walk
in, who have quite good money
to spend, they go ‘oh no we don’t
want stairs’.”

A charming lay-about
• By Dylan Smits
KŌANGA THE leopard seal
spent Labour weekend lounging
on Scarborough beach.
And he lived up to his name,
charming passers-by.
Kōanga was chosen for its
double meaning – “joy” or
“spring”.
He was given his name
by iwiw collective Taranaki
Whānui ki Te Upoko o Te Ika
when he stopped in Wellington
at the start of September.
Leopard seal researcher
Tineke Joustra said once a seal
was given a name “people tend
to look after them a lot better”.
Kōanga arrived at
Scarborough on October 21.
Wildlife volunteers put out DOC
signs warning onlookers to keep
20m away from him.
Joustra thanked the volunteers
for monitoring Kōanga.
“Those guys were there,
religiously sitting there,
watching and looking after
him.”
After a well-earned rest,
Kōanga returned to sea on
October 24.
Joustra said leopard seals are
unlikely to be dangerous to the
public.
“They have got an unjustified
bad reputation,“ she said.
“If they do get harassed, they
seem to try and leave to go back
into the water.
“They are a very special
species. Anything we can
do to increase people caring
for leopard seals is a good
opportunity.”

Coastguard Sumner: Making a splash
Coastguard Sumner is
celebrating 125 years
of daring rescues with
a community open
day on Sunday. Longtime
member Howard
Nicholls looks back
on the organisation’s
history
ONE OF New Zealand’s oldest
search and rescue institutions,
Coastguard Sumner (formerly
Sumner Lifeboat) has reached
a milestone very few can boast
about – 125 years since its first
dedicated lifeboat.
The 25-foot clinker-built rowing
boat Rescue was launched
at Cave Rock in 1898, with coxswain
Joseph Day at the helm.
It was funded by the Lyttelton
Harbour Board.
It marked the start of a legacy
of saving lives, with the Sumner
Lifeboat institution formed soon
after.
But volunteer rescues date as
far back as 1864, when William
Henry Turner was appointed
first pilot for Sumner Bar. During
his tenure, Turner called on a
volunteer four-man crew for rescues
using a pilot boat, making
five successful rescues over the
summer of 1864/65.
Day was one of the group’s
notable figures and led many
daring rescues from 1867-1897
with scratch volunteer crews,
using both a dinghy and a large
boat. By the 1890s, the crew
consisted mostly of Day, Charles
Phillips, James Williamson, C.
Dunn, and Joseph Hines. Their
collective efforts saved many
lives.
Day’s actions did not go unnoticed.
In September 1875, he was
honoured by the Royal Humane
Society of England with an
honorary testimonial for saving
the life of a 14-year-old boy who
had been tipped out of a capsized
boat near Sumner in January
1875.
As the institution continued
to evolve, new vessels took to the
water. The 15-foot clinker-built
four-oared lifeboat Aid was
launched in 1909.
The transition to motorised
vessels was made in 1930 with
the 30-foot Rescue II, built by
Whites of Cowes in England.
Rescue II was fitted with a radio-telephone
for the first time in
1958, improving communication
with other rescue agencies and
those on shore.
The 1970s saw the evolution
ON THE WATER: From clinker boat Rescue to the modernday
Blue Arrow Rescue, Coastguard Sumner has been
saving lives for 125 years.
of jet boats, which were ideal for
‘inshore’ rescues, operating in
shallow seas and surf conditions.
It was also during the ‘70s
Sumner became one of the
founding members of Coastguard
New Zealand. To this
day, most incidents Coastguard
Sumner attends are in surf or
near the rocky shoreline, where a
jet boat is ideal.
Vessels continued to evolve
over the years, with volunteers
operating purpose-built jet
boats, jet skis and offshore rescue
boats. Unlike most Coastguard
units, Sumner volunteers are
highly skilled jet ski operators
– the first one was added to the
fleet in 2005, equipped with a
rescue sled.
In 2010, Blue Arrow Rescue
was launched. A 12.5m-long
all-weather rescue vessel
equipped with twin jet units, it
was designed from scratch and
equipped with state-of-the-art
systems, including radar, sonar,
and infrared camera rescue
sensors. Capable of reaching the
edge of Pegasus Bay and beyond,
Blue Arrow Rescue has worked
alongside other agencies like Surf
Life Saving for the past 13 years.

for 125 years
In recognition of their
exceptional service, Sumner
received the rescue of the year
award at the 2022 Coastguard
Awards of Excellence, for
rescuing a hang glider pilot
who crashed into the cliffs at
Whitewash Head. This rescue was
notable not only for retrieving
the injured casualty from a tricky
location – he was first attended
by volunteers and then evacuated
by helicopter - but also for the
safe extraction of crew by sea in
deteriorating conditions.
Across 2022/23 alone, Coastguard
Sumner volunteers contributed
more than 4000 hours to
the unit – responding to 39 calls
for help and bringing 46 people
home safely.
Said Coastguard Sumner president
Blair Quane: “As the oldest
marine-rescue organisation in
New Zealand, our unit has seen
incredible change over the last
125 years. Our volunteers today
have dedicated themselves to
continuing our proud history of
innovation and commitment to
bringing people home safely.
“We thank everyone in the
Sumner community who has
supported, volunteered, and
donated to our organisation over
the years. Innovation is at the
heart of Sumner so here’s to the
next 125 years of transformation
to continue saving lives at sea and
keeping our volunteers safe.”
• To mark the milestone,
Coastguard Sumner
welcomes the community
to an open day at the
base on Sunday from
10am-noon . See the unit’s
Facebook page for more

THE LONGEST serving female
skipper at Coastguard Sumner,
Heather McDonald has spent 32
years saving lives at sea. Always
on call, she has lost count of how
many times she has rushed to
the station for a rescue.
When undertaking a rescue,
McDonald says good teamwork
is most the most important
thing to get right.
“It’s definitely a team sport.
When you have managed to
resolve whatever the situation
is in one piece, that is really
satisfying.”
Being a coastguard has
its frightening moments.
McDonald says she usually
feels very safe on the boats, but
one day early in her service she
wondered what she had got
herself into.
She and a group of new coastguards
were training on a jet
boat when the waves got out of
control.
“Oh my god, what is going to
happen now,” she remembers
thinking.
“But we got out and got
through it.”
McDonald said she was
inspired to join the coastguard
in 1991, because her father was a
skipper and crew member.
Now 87, Peter McDonald
always kept his cool under
pressure during more than 20
years of service, his daughter
said.
One of Heather McDonald’s
most memorable rescues was at
night near Motunau beach. The
DEDICATED:
Heather
McDonald has
been saving
lives for 32
years.
Skipper’s countless rescues
skipper and her crew saved two
men from a stranded yacht in
rough conditions.
“There can be some long
nights,” she said.
Another interesting rescue
was when McDonald’s crew
saved the same windsurfer four
times.
“We did start to joke that
he might need to find another
hobby.”
McDonald enjoys giving back
to the community she grew up
in.
“I know I’m going to be
able to contribute something
worthwhile,” she said.
Now a proud life member,
McDonald will be celebrating
Coastguard Sumner’s 125th
anniversary at the station this
Sunday.

“It’s almost exciting, but I’ve had
enough of the excitement now,’ said
McLellan.
Weenink polled 14,888 votes to
McLellan’s 14,805. Green Party candidate
Lan Pham was third with 6470 votes.
Pham is assured a seat in Parliament as
No 6 on the Green list.
In 2020, McLellan won the seat as a
first time candidate with 25,393 votes,
13,156 more than National’s Catherine
Chu. McLellan had succeeded the
retiring long time Labour MP Ruth
Dyson.
McLellan said she hopes the special
votes will follow past election trends
of favouring the left. When it comes to
making a prediction on the result she
said, “I have absolutely no idea.”
McLellan said she had not thought
about what she would do if she loses her
seat in Parliament.
Before she became an MP, she was a
union organiser for the New Zealand
Nurses Association and a brain injury
researcher.
Weenink is also unsure of her future
if she loses, but she would not go back to
working as a GP.

INCOMING Labour MP Reuben
Davidson expects a by-election will
be held for his seat on the Te Pātaka

Peninsula Community
Board in February.
Davidson formally
resigned from the board
at a meeting on Monday.
City council electoral
officer Jo Daly said the
Reuben
Davidson
by-election date will
depend on when city
council chief executive
Dawn Baxendale gives notice to her.
Davidson won the Christchurch East
electorate in the October 14 general
election with 12,680 votes, beating
National’s Matt Stock who received
10,712.
He resigned from his position as chair
in July, but kept his Lyttelton seat on the
board while campaigning.
Davidson now lives in the Christchurch
East electorate in North New Brighton.
Reflecting on his time on the
community board, Davidson said he
was proud of its involvement in the
redevelopment of Naval Point.
He says there are several good potential
candidates for the vacant board seat.
“My hope is that some of these people
will step forward again to serve and
represent.”

TREASURES FROM THE PAST
Lyttelton’s first radio station makes waves
IN ABOUT 1926, a curious
crowd gathered outside the
shopfront of H. H Lublow, Ladies
& Gents High Class Tailor, at
what is today the Civil and Naval
Bar on London St. Ms Rosa
Moir’s vehicle was apparently
parked out front with her leaning
on the bonnet, and Mr Dick
Pascoe was striding towards
the crowd (from the right in
the photo). The object of the
townspeople’s curiosity was the
strange and wondrous sound of
the first public radiotelephonic
broadcast in Whakaraupō
Lyttelton Harbour.
Just over 30 years earlier, in
1895, Guglielmo Marconi’s
invention of wireless telegraphy
had marked a pivotal moment in
the history of telecommunications.
Marconi’s ground-breaking
innovation allowed Morse
code signals to be transmitted
over electromagnetic waves,
revolutionising long distance
communication.
In 1901, Marconi achieved
another historic milestone by
successfully demonstrating the
first transatlantic broadcast,
showcasing the immense potential
of his wireless telegraphy
system.
The year 1904 saw the invention
of the diode vacuum tube,
often referred to as the ‘Fleming
valve’ after John Ambrose
Fleming, who developed the
technology while working for the
Marconi Company.
Subsequently, in 1907, Lee de
Forest introduced the audion
tube, a rudimentary version of
what would later become known
as the triode valve amplifier.
These inventions turbocharged
the development of electronic
technologies and engineering
in the early 20th century, and
most especially the development
of wireless communications. By
1910, the term ‘radio’ had been
adopted to describe these various
wireless systems, and radiotelegraphy
spanned the entire planet.
Then WW1 drove the rapid
technological development of
wireless telegraphy and telephony
for military communications,
which became key to dominance
of the modern battlefields across
Listening to Ōhinehou Lyttelton’s first radio outside H.H Lublow’s. Te Ūaka The Lyttelton
Museum ref. 11898.1 https://www.teuaka.org.nz/online-collection/1132580
Europe and Mesopotamia and
around the world’s oceans.
Post war, radio wave transmission
and reception remained
largely within the domain of
secure government communications.
However, the technology
had matured, setting the stage
for broader public applications.
In New Zealand, only a select
few enthusiasts possessed the
resources to construct their
own radio receivers, and even
fewer could build transmitters.
Government oversight was
established over this nascent
amateur radio field through
radio licensing under the
authority of the 1908 Post and
Telegraph Act.
The dawn of public radio
broadcasting in New Zealand
began on November 17, 1921
when Otago University head
of the physics Robert Jack
transmitted the first public
radio broadcast to a handful
of listeners as far afield as
Auckland.
Collaborating with his
students, he had assembled a
small transmitter using parts
imported from Britain, achieving
the first successful nongovernmental
radiotelephonic
transmission in the country.
The broadcast included music
and featured the popular song
Hello my dearie. Professor Jack
was a visionary radio pioneer
who realised through this new
telecommunications technology
“the whole life of the community
will be broadened and educated
by being brought into more
effective touch with the life of the
whole world”.
His work led to the
establishment of the Otago
Radio Association and Aotearoa
New Zealand’s first public radio
broadcasting station, known
today as Radio Dunedin, which
started regular broadcasts on
November 15, 1922. The station
was the world’s fifth public radio
station to start broadcasting, predating
the BBC by five weeks,
and is still operating as the oldest
station outside the United States.
By the end of 1923, Dunedin,
along with Christchurch,
Nelson, Wellington, Whanganui,
Gisborne and Auckland, had
active broadcasting stations.
In 1925, the Radio
Broadcasting Company
Henry H. Lublow’s RCA Radiola 20 radio receiver (1925
model). Te Ūaka The Lyttelton Museum ref. 1390.1
https://www.teuaka.org.nz/online-collection/604091
commenced broadcasts
across New Zealand, further
expanding the reach of radio
communication.
The growth of radio
licensing in New Zealand was
likewise remarkable. In 1922,
approximately 750 individuals
held radio licences, a number
that soared to over 100,000
by 1930. This transformation
reflected the rapid and
widespread adoption of radio
technology across the nation.
Aside from being a high-class
tailor, Henry Herman Lublow
was also a long-time member of
the Lyttelton Fire Brigade and
the Marine Brass Band, as well
as an early radio enthusiast.
On August 6, 1926 he paid £1
(approximately $150 in 2023)
for a radio licence to establish
and operate a radio receiving
station using his battery operated
Radiola 20.
A five-valve radio receiver
manufactured by the Radio
Corporation of America,
this was reportedly the first
radio receiver in Whakaraupō
Lyttelton.
By 1930, the entrepreneurial
Mr Lublow was riding the crest
of the retail commercialisation
of radio and gramophone
technology as an agent for
various luxuriously appointed,
wood panelled radiogramophones,
including the
Majestic “Mighty Monarch of
the Air” radio receiver priced
at just £29 10s – or around
$5000 in today’s currency.
Such extravagances were
becoming the middle-class
norm as New Zealand embraced
the modern age of global
telecommunications, and never
looked back.
In years gone by,
Whakaraupō’s well-regarded
and eclectic Volcano Radio
88.5 FM transmitted out of the
former Harbour Board offices
at Shadbolt House until the
building was demolished after
the devastating February 22,
2011 earthquake. Today, the
harbour’s fine radio broadcasting
tradition is carried on by
Ōhinehou Lyttelton’s very own
Rotten Radio 107.7 FM.
