Coastguard<br />
aids the<br />
fire fight<br />
COASTGUARD Sumner<br />
patrolled Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
during the Port Hills fire<br />
last week, keeping the water<br />
at Governors <strong>Bay</strong> clear so<br />
helicopters could fill buckets for<br />
firefighting.<br />
President Blair Quane said<br />
the Blue Arrow Rescue lifeboat<br />
worked to keep any<br />
boaters or kayakers out<br />
of the area.<br />
“We didn’t have any<br />
issues. There weren’t<br />
too many people out on<br />
the water given it was<br />
weekdays,” he said.<br />
About 20 members of<br />
the coastguard crewed<br />
Blair<br />
Quane<br />
the lifeboat in shifts<br />
during the day from<br />
Wednesday to Friday.<br />
Firefighters needed<br />
Governors <strong>Bay</strong> clear<br />
to allow for easy water<br />
bucket filling. The<br />
lifeboat also acted as a<br />
safety vessel in case of<br />
any downed helicopters<br />
over the water.<br />
Quane said he was happy<br />
with the work the coastguard<br />
had done in the harbour as part<br />
of the firefighting effort.<br />
“It’s good the crew stood up<br />
and took the role on.<br />
“Probably not as exciting as<br />
some of our callouts but it’s an<br />
important one.”<br />
Water front<br />
dispute<br />
– lockout<br />
or strike?<br />
THE BITTER 1951 Lyttelton<br />
water front industrial dispute<br />
lasted 151 days and divided many<br />
New Zealanders.<br />
On page 19 today, Te Ūaka The<br />
Lyttelton Museum revisits the<br />
dispute in its regular column in<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News.<br />
The column has gems of information;<br />
for example in the 1970s a<br />
Lyttelton girl introduced her new<br />
boyfriend to her father. He told<br />
her: “You’re not going out with<br />
that boy. His father’s a scab.” The<br />
memory of the 1951 lockout was<br />
still raw.<br />
The dispute arose between New<br />
Zealand’s Waterside Workers’<br />
Union and its Port Employers’ Association<br />
over wage negotiations.<br />
The wharfies, although prepared<br />
to work a 40-hour week, put a ban<br />
on overtime. When they turned<br />
up for work on <strong>February</strong> 15, 1951,<br />
they found themselves locked<br />
out. Those who refused to work<br />
overtime were sacked.<br />
As time went on, many other<br />
unions went on strike in support.<br />
Prime Minister Sid Holland’s<br />
Government declared a State<br />
of Emergency and introduced<br />
draconian regulations.<br />

NEWLY-elected community<br />
board member Jillian Frater will<br />
listen to the people of Banks<br />
Peninsula before she decides<br />
what her priorities will be.<br />
Frater, who is part of leftleaning<br />
political group, The<br />
People’s Choice, has won the<br />
Lyttelton seat on the Te Pātaka<br />
o Rākaihautū Banks Peninsula<br />
Community Board.<br />
“I want to get to grips with the<br />
work of the community board<br />
and what they’ve got on at the<br />
moment,” said Frater.<br />
She said fire preparedness and<br />
environmental issues are two<br />
areas where she will listen closely<br />
to community feedback.<br />
“Fire will be one thing that is<br />
definitely high on people’s minds<br />
at the moment. So I’d expect that<br />
there will be some people who<br />
want to come speak to the community<br />
board about that.”<br />
The preliminary results show<br />
Frater, with 980 votes, was 645<br />
ahead of independent candidate<br />
Vicki Tahau-Paton on 335,<br />
with the special votes still to be<br />
counted.<br />

Saturday. The voter turnout was<br />
50.23 per cent with 1316<br />
votes cast. There are 41<br />
special votes to be added<br />
to the final tally.<br />
City council’s electoral<br />
officer Jo Daly hoped to<br />
declare the final result<br />
tomorrow.<br />
Both candidates were<br />
pleased with the high<br />
turnout and the community’s<br />
engagement in the by-election.<br />
Said Frater: “I think it’s great<br />

to vote and that they’re interested<br />

Tahau-Paton also congratulated<br />
Lyttelton for having strong<br />
engagement during the by-election,<br />
despite it being outside the<br />
electoral cycle.<br />
“We’ve had a huge<br />
turnout of people. I’m<br />
happy to have helped<br />
create a more democratic<br />
option for people rather<br />
than just a one-horse<br />
race.”<br />
The candidates exchanged<br />
text messages<br />
after the result was announced,<br />
acknowledging each other’s efforts<br />
throughout the campaign.<br />
Said Tahau-Paton: “I think<br />
she’ll be very good and I’m absolutely<br />
thrilled for them.”<br />
Frater is expecting a call from<br />
city council staff soon to discuss<br />
her induction for the community<br />
board and anticipates joining the<br />
next meeting on March 11.<br />
Frater said one of her priorities<br />
was to build relationships with<br />
all members of the community<br />
board, not just those under The<br />
People’s Choice political grouping.<br />
The board vacancy arose after<br />
Reuben Davidson resigned from<br />
the community board after<br />
winning the Christchurch East<br />
electorate for Labour in last<br />
October’s general election with<br />
12,680 votes.<br />

Mosquito warning issued after<br />
warm weather boosts breeding<br />
• By Dylan Smits<br />
DANGEROUS exotic<br />
mosquitoes’ ability to breed in<br />
Lyttelton is increasing due to<br />
climate change.<br />
After a hot summer, residents<br />
are being urged to check their<br />
properties for potential mosquito<br />
breeding habitats due to the close<br />
proximity of homes to the port.<br />
“If exotic mosquitoes were to<br />
sneak through, breed, and infect<br />
people, the results could be disastrous.<br />
The diseases they carry<br />
cause severe illness and can be<br />
fatal,” said Dr Matt Reid, medical<br />
officer of health for the National<br />
Public Health Service.<br />
Health protection officers<br />
monitor the area around Lyttelton<br />
Port for evidence of foreign<br />
mosquitoes, particularly those<br />
from tropical regions, which<br />
could threaten public health.<br />
Serious diseases like malaria,<br />
dengue fever and Ross River<br />
fever can be carried into New<br />
Zealand by tropical mosquito<br />
types like aedes and anopheles,”<br />
said Reid.<br />
“With climate change potentially<br />
making our environment<br />
more comfortable for these<br />
mosquitoes, an outbreak could<br />
PREVENTION: All Lyttelton residents are being asked to<br />
empty collections of stagnant water on their property<br />
to prevent exotic mosquito breeding. The wheelbarrow<br />
pictured above is an example of a potential mosquito<br />
breeding ground.<br />
have significant cost implications<br />
for the health system, and<br />
eradication campaigns can cost<br />
millions.”<br />
All Lyttelton residents are being<br />
asked by the NPHS to check<br />
their property for collections<br />
of stagnant water which can be<br />
attractive breeding grounds for<br />
mosquitoes.<br />
“Mosquitoes struggle in the<br />
cold but with the recent warm<br />
weather, areas of stagnant and<br />
pooled water can be perfect<br />
breeding grounds.”<br />
Reid said residents should<br />
empty out any plant pots, buckets,<br />
tins, jars and other items like<br />
playground equipment that may<br />
hold water.<br />
Boats, dinghies, and kayaks<br />
should also be turned upside<br />
down regularly to prevent pooling<br />
water.<br />
Reid said exotic mosquitoes<br />
have been found during checks<br />
at New Zealand borders,<br />
including a non-recent case<br />
at Christchurch International<br />
Airport, but the insects have<br />
failed to get established because<br />
of the efforts of health protection<br />
officers and biosecurity staff.<br />
“In Lyttelton, the residential<br />
area is very close to the port.<br />
While we do not monitor the<br />
residential area, we want to raise<br />
awareness because the public<br />
can play a large role in removing<br />
places where mosquitoes could<br />
breed.”<br />
Reid said this notice is based<br />
around prevention as he is not<br />
aware of any exotic mosquitoes<br />
being discovered at the port.<br />
Any larvae and mosquitoes the<br />
health protection team catch are<br />
sent to a Biosecurity New Zealand<br />
laboratory in Wellington to<br />
see if they are native or exotic,<br />
Reid said.<br />

Tree vandals<br />
strike again<br />
• By Dylan Smits<br />
A TREE in Beachville Reserve has<br />
been cut for the third time since<br />
2020, frustrating efforts to shade<br />
park benches.<br />
The Redcliffs Residents’ association<br />
is “upset and disappointed”<br />
the top half of the ngaio tree in<br />
the council-owned reserve has<br />
been cut off.<br />
The ngaio was planted by the<br />
city council in January 2023 as a<br />
replacement for the second tree<br />
cut in the small reserve in December<br />
2022.<br />
The first tree was cut down to<br />
the stump in 2020.<br />
“People are going around, taking<br />
the law into their own hands,<br />
thinking that they’re entitled to<br />
cut down and damage trees in<br />
a public reserve,” said residents’<br />
association secretary Dr Pat<br />
McIntosh.<br />
The residents’ association<br />
believes the vandalism is likely a<br />
targeted act.<br />
The city council’s community<br />
parks manager Al Hardy said this<br />
vandalism could “reduce the overall<br />
benefits the tree provides for<br />
current and future generations.”<br />
The health of the tree is being<br />
monitored by the city council before<br />
a replacement is determined<br />
to be necessary.<br />

The Showman<br />
The Inside Story of the Invasion That Shook the World and<br />
Made a Leader of Volodymyr Zelensky by Simon Shuster<br />
Acclaimed journalist Simon Shuster gives us the first inside account of the Russian<br />
invasion of Ukraine from the perspective of President Volodymyr Zelensky and his<br />
team, who granted him unprecedented access. Time correspondent Simon Shuster<br />
chronicles the life and wartime leadership of Volodymyr Zelensky from the dressing<br />
rooms of his variety show in Ukraine to the muddy trenches of his war with Russia.<br />
Based on four years of reporting; extensive travels with President Zelensky to the<br />
front; and dozens of interviews with him, his wife, his friends and enemies, his<br />
advisers, ministers and military commanders, The Showman tells an intimate and<br />
eye-opening story of the President’s evolution from a slapstick actor to a symbol<br />
of resilience, revealing how he managed to rally the world’s democracies behind<br />
his cause.<br />
Anna O<br />
by Matthew Blake<br />
Anna O hasn’t opened her eyes for four years.<br />
Not since the night she was found in a deep sleep by the bodies of her best<br />
friends, suspected of a chilling double murder.<br />
For Doctor Benedict Prince, a forensic psychologist on London’s Harley Street,<br />
waking Anna O could be career-defining. As an expert in sleep, he knows all<br />
about the darkest chambers of the mind; the secrets that lie buried in the<br />
subconscious.<br />
As he begins Anna O’s treatment – studying his patient’s dreams, combing her<br />
memories, visiting the site where the horrors played out – he pulls on the thread<br />
of a much deeper, darker mystery.<br />
Awakening Anna O isn’t the end of the story, it’s just the beginning.<br />
Michael Jordan - The Life<br />
by Roland Lazenby<br />
When most people think of Michael Jordan, they think of the beautiful shots,<br />
his body totally in sync with the ball, hitting nothing but net. He is responsible<br />
for incredible moments so ingrained in basketball history that they have their<br />
own names: The Shrug, The Shot, The Flu Game. But for all his greatness, there’s<br />
also a dark side to Jordan: a ruthless competitor, a gambler. There’s never been<br />
a biography that balanced these personas-until now. Drawing on personal<br />
relationships with Jordan’s coaches; countless interviews with friends, team mates,<br />
family members, and Jordan himself; and a career in the trenches covering Jordan<br />
in college and the pros, Roland Lazenby provides the first truly definitive study of<br />
Jordan: the player, the icon, and the man.<br />
The Star on the Grave<br />
by Linda Margolin Royal<br />
In 1940, as the Nazis sweep toward Lithuania, Japanese diplomat Chiune Sugihara<br />
defies his own government and secretly issues thousands of visas to Jewish<br />
refugees desperate to flee. After the war, Sugihara is dismissed and disappears<br />
into obscurity. Three decades later, in Australia, Rachel Margol, her father and<br />
her grandmother live disconnected from one another and haunted by unspoken<br />
tragedies. When Rachel announces her engagement to a Greek Orthodox man,<br />
it detonates a long-held secret. The Margols are actually the Margolins: they are<br />
Jewish, and her family has concealed their identity from her and the world. But<br />
why? As Rachel struggles to understand this deception, an opportunity arrives to<br />
visit Chiune Sugihara, the man who risked his life to save them during World War<br />
II. Rachel becomes determined to meet him, but will a journey to Japan, and the<br />

Servicemen awarded Nuclear Test Medals<br />
• By Dylan Smits<br />
LONG-AWAITED medals<br />
have been awarded to United<br />
Kingdom servicemen for their<br />
work during Pacific nuclear<br />
testing from 1957-1962.<br />
Moncks <strong>Bay</strong> resident Mike<br />
Rossiter was recognised alongside<br />
Ernest Robb during an<br />
informal ceremony at the Our<br />
Lady Star of the Sea Church<br />
service on Sunday.<br />
The award is the first military<br />
medal issued by King Charles III.<br />
Robb died in the UK in 1996<br />
and his family, who live in<br />
Sumner, received the medal on<br />
his behalf.<br />
Rossiter was head air technician<br />
at the Royal Air Force base<br />
on Christmas Island, now part<br />
of Kiribati, during Operation<br />
Dominic – a series of American<br />
atmospheric tests conducted on<br />
UK territory.<br />
“You actually felt the heat,” the<br />
84-year-old said.<br />
“You had to face away for<br />
the initial blast because even<br />
with dark goggles you would be<br />
blinded.”<br />
Robb was a squadron leader<br />
in the air force and served on<br />
Christmas Island during the<br />
first series of UK nuclear testing<br />
in 1957, codenamed Operation<br />
Grapple.<br />
He was a radar specialist<br />
and witnessed the first-ever<br />
UK hydrogen bomb test<br />

The involvement of UK personnel<br />
in nuclear tests was not<br />
publicly recognised by the UK<br />
government until 2022 when<br />
mounting pressure led to the<br />
creation of the Nuclear Test<br />
Medal.<br />
“It’s good to finally have recognition<br />
after all these years, that’s<br />
the main thing,” said Rossiter.<br />
He served in the air force until<br />
1977 and moved to Moncks <strong>Bay</strong><br />
in 2007 after two of his three<br />
children moved to New Zealand.<br />
Two of his children and three<br />
of his grandchildren attended<br />
the service to see him receive the<br />
medal.<br />
Rossiter’s key role on Christmas<br />
Island was to prepare an<br />
aerial evacuation in case of<br />
emergency.<br />
“We were curious about what<br />
we were going to see, what we<br />
were going to hear, but everyone<br />
was in the same boat so we just<br />
got on with the job,” he said.<br />
Many veterans and civilians<br />
who lived on the island during<br />
the nuclear tests believe they<br />
were exposed to negative health<br />
effects from the heat and radiation.<br />
“Some people got sick, some<br />
people died. Whether they died<br />
as a result of radiation sickness,<br />
nobody will ever know,” said<br />
Rossiter.<br />
The UK Ministry of Defence<br />
maintains almost all the British<br />
servicemen involved in the<br />
nuclear tests received “little or no<br />
additional radiation as a result of<br />
participation”.<br />

Rossiter’s<br />
Nuclear<br />
Test Medal<br />
engraved with<br />
the profile on<br />
King Charles.<br />
No conclusive links have been<br />
made between the radiation<br />
exposure and negative health<br />
effects for military personnel.<br />
Christmas Island was home<br />
to a small population of local<br />
I-Kiribati who had to live with<br />
the tests occurring offshore.<br />
In 2015, Kiribati’s UN<br />
representative Makurita Baaro<br />
said “our communities still suffer<br />
from the long-term impacts of<br />
the tests, experiencing higher<br />
rates of cancer, particularly<br />
thyroid cancer, due to exposure<br />
to radiation”.<br />
Rossiter said the tests were<br />
an unfortunate necessity due<br />
to threat of the Soviet Union’s<br />
nuclear program.<br />
“The Western powers couldn’t<br />
just stand by and do nothing.<br />
People will debate this, but in my<br />
opinion it has actually kept the<br />
peace for 50 odd years.”<br />

LAYBY WELCOME<br />
awareness in adventure race<br />
• By Dylan Smits<br />
THREE PLUMBERS<br />
have raised $15,000 for a<br />
construction workers mental<br />
health charity by competing in<br />
the Coast to Coast.<br />
Chris Dick, 64, from<br />
Sumner completed the race<br />
earlier this month with his two<br />
colleagues Clyde Andrews, 61,<br />
and Steve Millson, 55.<br />
“We had a lot of fun just<br />
getting to the other side and<br />
doing something like this with<br />
your mates, helping raise money,<br />
bringing some awareness to<br />
the problem, made it all extra<br />
special,” said Dick.<br />
The 243km race is an annual<br />
competition running from the<br />
west to east coast of the South<br />
Island featuring running,<br />
cycling and kayaking.<br />
Their team competed in the<br />
two-day, three-person team<br />
event, with Dick running,<br />
Millson kayaking and Andrews<br />
cycling.<br />
The trio each run a branch<br />
of the national brand Laser<br />
Plumbing, with Dick’s branch<br />
based in Ferrymead.<br />
They chose the mental<br />
health charity MATES in Construction<br />
due to the high rate<br />
of suicide and mental illness in<br />
the construction industry.<br />
“We have seen this in our<br />
business over the years and we<br />
work hard to talk openly or in<br />
confidence and support each<br />
other through tough times,”<br />
said Dick.<br />
A University of Otago study<br />
in 20<strong>21</strong> found people working<br />
in the construction sector were<br />
at two times greater risk of<br />
suicide compared to the rest of<br />
the workforce.<br />
Dick said there are strong<br />
parallels between the Coast to<br />
Coast and increased mental<br />
health wellbeing.<br />
“There is a community of<br />
support and encouragement<br />
shared between competitors<br />
and supporters that helps each<br />
other achieve their purpose.”<br />
The team had no position<br />
goal and simply wanted to<br />
enjoy their racing journey.<br />
“These positive experiences<br />
can really help when dealing<br />
with mental health issues.”<br />
Donations can be made to<br />
the fundraiser until <strong>February</strong><br />
27 at givealittle.co.nz/fundraiser/oldies-but-goodies.<br />
ACCOMPLISHED: Three plumbers, from left, Clyde<br />
Andrews, Steve Millson and Chris Dick at the Coast to<br />

125 years of plumbing experience between them.<br />

Bringing life back to neglected park<br />
Community groups<br />
are at the forefront of<br />
the redevelopment<br />
of Barnett Park.<br />
Reporter Dylan Smits<br />
explored the park<br />
with regreening group<br />
volunteers Sue Cooke<br />
and Cynthia Roberts<br />
VISTA: Regreening group volunteers Sue Cooke, on the left, and Cynthia Roberts, on the right, have the long-term goal of<br />
planting enough trees in the park to cover the walking tracks with a native canopy.<br />

OPEN: Both sides of the Barnett Park Cave Loop Track has been open to the public since December including the staircase<br />
up to the scenic Paratu cave which overlooks the valley. Right – regreening group volunteers encourage park visitors<br />
to use the filled milk bottles to water the newly planted trees.<br />
REDCLIFFS residents Sue<br />
Cooke and Cynthia Roberts have<br />
been volunteers in the Te Awa<br />
Kura Barnett Park regreening<br />
group since the organisation’s<br />
founding in early 20<strong>21</strong>.<br />
“It’s been an area that’s been<br />
hugely neglected post earthquakes,”<br />
said Roberts. “We got<br />
together and said ‘this not good<br />
enough.’ We want those tracks<br />
reopened, we want the weeds<br />
gone and we want to restore this<br />
valley.”<br />
Alongside the city council’s<br />
draft development plan, the regreening<br />
group has the long term<br />
goal of planting large sections of<br />
native trees in the park and creating<br />
an attractive environment<br />
for native birds.<br />
“We’ve got this vision of being<br />
able to walk from the sea up to<br />
the summit under a canopy, that<br />
we’ve got kererū flying, we’ve got<br />
bellbirds, that we’ve got the return<br />
of quite a few of the species<br />
that are now absent from this<br />
valley,” said Roberts.<br />
When the planted native trees<br />
grow tall enough, the volunteers<br />
hope species like tui and kererū<br />
are attracted to the area in addition<br />
to providing shade on the<br />
walking tracks.<br />
The group planted 600 trees on<br />
the eastern side of the track in<br />
2023 and 400 on the western side<br />
in 2022.<br />
Barnett Park’s main Cave<br />
Loop Track was closed after the<br />
earthquakes due to the risk of<br />
rockfall.<br />
The city council cleared the<br />
eastern side of the track which<br />
was fully reopened in October<br />
alongside the newly constructed<br />
stairs leading to the scenic Paratu<br />
cave.<br />
The western side of the loop<br />
track was cleared and then<br />
reopened in December after rock<br />
blasting by city council contractors<br />
helped to reduce rockfall<br />
risk from earthquakes.<br />
Roberts said the volunteers<br />
have had good collaboration<br />
with the city council park rangers<br />
in their joint efforts to reopen<br />
the loop track and speed up<br />
development projects.<br />
“I think the council could see<br />
how much effort we were putting<br />
in and took notice,” said Roberts.<br />
The park has attracted more<br />
visitors and social media attention<br />
since the full reopening,<br />
said Cooke.<br />
The volunteers have established<br />
a water station where they<br />
encourage users of the track to<br />
take the available milk bottles to<br />
water newly planted trees.<br />
Cooke said regreening group<br />
volunteers have spent thousands<br />
of hours over the past two years<br />
removing pest plants like boneseed,<br />
helping to make way for<br />
more native bush.<br />
“Banana passionfruit is a particularly<br />
vicious strangling weed<br />
that we’ve been removing,” said<br />
Roberts.<br />
Volunteers in the regreening<br />
group mostly come from the<br />
surrounding area with some also<br />
from Christchurch.<br />
“They’re at a time in their life<br />
when they want to give back and<br />
they’re probably more interested<br />
in the bigger picture, leaving a<br />
legacy, rather than just money,”<br />
said Cooke.<br />
She credits several other<br />
groups for improvements at the<br />
park including Predator Free<br />
Redcliffs and the Eastenders<br />
volunteers.<br />
“We’re all working together<br />
really. We want to help get<br />
much more reinvigorated native<br />
vegetation coming back.” said<br />
John Cook from Predator Free<br />
Redcliffs.<br />
The trapping group is a small<br />
team of six volunteers who<br />
have set about 30 predator traps<br />
throughout the park so far.<br />
They were active in the park<br />
before the regreening group was<br />
SEEDING: Te Awa Kura Barnett Park group volunteers<br />
have spent many hours planting about 1000 trees<br />
throughout the valley. Predator Free Redcliffs volunteer<br />

to the area has increased<br />

laying more traps further up the<br />
valley once the city council and<br />
regreening group began work to<br />
open the loop track and plant in<br />
the valley.<br />
“Now the trappers are focused<br />
on supporting what’s happening<br />
with the plantings by getting rid<br />
of all the possums and the mice<br />
and the rats. With the lack of<br />
pests, more bird life will come in<br />
as well,” said Cook.<br />
Predator Free has been using<br />
test traps to locate the best spots<br />
for trapping different pests in the<br />
valley.<br />
“You can confirm what different<br />
pest there are, and where<br />
they are, based on their teeth<br />
marks.”<br />
During 2023 Barnett Park<br />
traps exterminated 24 possums,<br />
17 rats, seven weasels, three<br />
hedgehogs, one ferret, and many<br />
mice.<br />
The Eastenders is a walking<br />
club and subgroup of the Summit<br />
Road Society. They also volunteer<br />
building and maintaining<br />
tracks throughout the Port Hills.<br />
Secretary Graeme Paltridge<br />
said the group built the drains<br />
on the eastern side of the loop<br />
track and maintains them on<br />
annual visits which helps prevent<br />
flooding or silt build up in the<br />
new planting areas.<br />
“We clear it all up and make it<br />
all presentable again.”<br />
He is impressed with the progress<br />
the regreening group and<br />
predator free have made.<br />
“They’re doing a damn great<br />
job.”<br />
Going forward, Roberts said<br />
she hopes more walkers, rock<br />
climbers and other visitors come<br />
take advantage of improvements<br />
at the park as the restoration<br />
continues.

keep it local<br />
and support businesses in your community<br />
Hell yes, free coffee!<br />
If you could shed the expectations,<br />
socially and personally, that are put on<br />
you, what would you become if you<br />
returned to yourself, to wholeness? If<br />
you could be authentically you, creating<br />
a purposeful, larger than life existence<br />
based on questions like:<br />
Why do you wake up in the morning?<br />
What change do you want to see in this<br />
world? What world do you want to leave<br />
to your kids, and to their kids? What will<br />
be your legacy?<br />
The founders of Bonobo, Annelies<br />
Basten & Deane Simmonds, went through<br />
a journey of transformation as they set<br />
a goal to create a more meaningful life,<br />
a life in line with their values and for<br />
the betterment of our planet, and on a<br />
smaller scale, our community.<br />
Bonobo is at the centre of what<br />
unearthed when they were inspired and<br />
challenged by the big questions above.<br />
Born from the aim to spread a ripple of<br />
kindness, and causing the least amount of<br />
harm, was a hospitality venture that sets<br />
out to create a happy work environment,<br />
a community of like-minded people,<br />
deep and positive connections, and an<br />
introduction to living solely off plants.<br />
Following from that, is the creation<br />
of a regenerative garden just down the<br />
road, that will provide the café with<br />
spray-free produce grown in healthy soil<br />
created from their own coffee grounds<br />
and scraps, closing the loop, decreasing<br />
the carbon footprint and recreating a<br />
connection with the land, improving<br />
communal and individual health.<br />
As soon as you step into Bonobo’s<br />
grounds, you feel there is a different<br />
energy to the place; you cannot put your<br />
finger on it, but it feels lighter, brighter<br />
and positive. You can tell a lot of love and<br />
care goes into the running of this busy<br />
little hub, as goes into everything they<br />
serve.<br />
If you have never<br />
had an oat latte, this<br />
is the place to give it<br />
a go. Annelies says<br />
right from the start,<br />
they implemented a<br />
‘try before you buy’<br />
kind of policy: if you<br />
do not have a positive<br />
coffee experience, you<br />
do not have to pay<br />
for it! Furthermore,<br />
if you have never had<br />
tofu in your life, they<br />
are happy to give<br />
you a sample of this<br />
versatile, delicious plant protein.<br />
At Bonobo, there is cabinet food and<br />
a menu packed with your favourite<br />
breakfast and lunch options. There is<br />
something for everyone, including a kids<br />
menu which functions as a colouring in<br />
artwork to keep them happy, too.<br />
Each and every dish served looks like a<br />
work of art, and is carefully put together<br />
to create the perfect<br />
combination of<br />
tastes and textures.<br />
On Friday evenings<br />
the courtyard gets<br />
packed with people<br />
winding down their<br />
week with refreshing<br />
cocktails, while<br />
listening to the<br />
uplifting sounds of<br />
the DJ.<br />
If you got to this<br />
point and you are still reading, enjoy a<br />

Rising star sets sights on Sumner<br />
IT COULD be said that Adam Whitelock’s career in<br />
real estate got off to a flying start – being awarded the<br />
prestigious Rural Salesperson of the Year – Rising Star by<br />
the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand in 2023.<br />
“I worked hard, but it was a surprise,” Adam recalls.<br />
Having grown up on a dairy farm, Adam had the<br />
knowledge and experience to provide the best advice<br />
to clients buying or selling properties in the rural area.<br />
Combining those attributes with a personal commitment<br />
to giving them the best possible service, resulted not just<br />
in the award, but also in many satisfied clients.<br />
ADAM AND RAZOR<br />
at Surfing for Farmers,<br />
Sumner Beach<br />
ADAM<br />
WHITELOCK<br />
After two years in the rural sector, Adam decided<br />
to expand his real estate experience by moving into<br />
residential, specialising in the Sumner area.<br />
“Living in the area with my wife and three young<br />
children, it was the ideal opportunity for me to get into<br />
residential sales,” he says.<br />
Adam will be focusing on the suburbs east of the<br />
Ferrymead bridge, areas which have always been popular<br />
with buyers looking for desirable hill and seaside<br />
locations. Adam is seeing “good demand out there”, and<br />
after the dip in the market over the past couple of years,<br />
largely due to higher interest rates, he sees it picking up<br />
over the coming months.<br />
Prior to taking up real estate, like his brothers Sam,<br />
George and Luke Adam enjoyed considerable success as a<br />
professional rugby player. He played for Canterbury in the<br />
provincial competition, was a member of the Crusaders,<br />
represented New Zealand in 2014 at the World HSBC<br />
Sevens competition bringing home the title, and later<br />
spent four years playing professional rugby in France.<br />
He has always been a keen outdoors man, too, enjoying<br />
hunting, fishing, swimming, and mountain running.<br />
Charity work is also a focus for Adam and last year he<br />
helped raise over $15,000 for various charities and is a<br />
member of the Crusaders Alumni, actively participating<br />
in the establishment of the Hall of Fame.<br />
Other charitable work he enjoys includes helping with<br />
the initiative ‘Surfing for Farmers’, which aims to boost<br />
mental health for farmers, and being an ambassador for<br />
the New Zealand Flying Doctor Service.<br />
When it comes to his real estate work, Adam is equally<br />
committed.<br />
“In this industry, you can’t sit back. It’s very competitive,<br />
so it’s vital to keep connecting with people. I find it’s a very<br />
rewarding career – building relationships and helping<br />
people get into their perfect home is very satisfying. By<br />
being yourself and sticking to your values you will get the<br />
rewards.”<br />
Underpinning all Adam’s enterprises is his dedication to<br />
his family – wife Tiffany and his three young children.<br />
“My daughter has just started at Sumner Primary<br />
School and my other two children are younger, so it’s a<br />
busy household. We all love living in Sumner, and now<br />
that I’m working out here too I can spend more time with<br />
them, so it’s all working out really well.”<br />
Adam looks forward to meeting more clients planning<br />
to sell their property and welcomes enquiries from across<br />
the <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> area.<br />

Bare fence becomes gallery<br />
BIRDLINGS FLAT artists<br />

A crowd gathered to see the<br />
blank fence at the heart of the<br />

“Because we’ve got so many artistic<br />

do rather than having to comply<br />
with an overall design,” said<br />

‘Leading<br />

‘Our Place’: Jan Reeves’ artwork represents the vast<br />
landscape and the village. The piece hopes to capture<br />
the varying aspects of Birdlings Flat life from the human<br />
community to the natural world.<br />
‘Beach at the end of the road’: Steve Lowndes’ artwork hopes to symbolise<br />
the liberating feeling of viewing the horizon from Birdlings Flat beach.<br />
Lowndes said the used elements of sky, sea and shingle are infinitely<br />
variable and help to capture the feeling of freedom.<br />
‘Passing Time on<br />

TREASURES FROM THE PAST 19<br />
The 1951 lockout – 151 days of hardship<br />
• By Jenny Betts<br />
Watersiders election meeting, 1951. Te Ūaka Lyttelton Museum ref 9061.1 https://www.teuaka.org.nz/onlinecollection/1129245.<br />
Right – padlock, watersiders lockout, 1951. Te Ūaka Lyttelton Museum ref 9080.1 https://www.teuaka.org.<br />
nz/online-collection/1129264<br />
A LYTTELTON girl introduced<br />
her new boyfriend to her father<br />
in the 1970s. Her father said:<br />
“You’re not going out with that<br />
boy. His father’s a scab.” Two<br />
decades on, the memory of the<br />
1951 lockout was still raw.<br />
The dispute arose between<br />
New Zealand’s Waterside<br />
Workers’ Union and its Port<br />
Employers’ Association over<br />
wage negotiations. The wharfies,<br />
although prepared to work a<br />
40-hour week, put a ban on<br />
overtime. When they turned up<br />
for work on <strong>February</strong> 15, 1951,<br />
they found themselves locked<br />
out. Those who refused to work<br />
overtime were sacked.<br />
As time went on, many other<br />
unions – including the seamen’s,<br />
miners’, freezing workers’, and<br />
transport and railway workers’ –<br />
went on strike in support.<br />
On <strong>February</strong> 27, 1951, Prime<br />
Minister Sid Holland’s conservative<br />
National government<br />
declared a State of Emergency<br />
and introduced draconian regulations.<br />
They imposed a complete<br />
ban on any publications about<br />
the dispute, and police powers<br />
were increased – it became illegal<br />
for wharfies to meet together<br />
in public, even two or three of<br />
them. Worst of all, it was illegal<br />
to help the men or their families<br />
by supplying them with money,<br />
food or necessities.<br />
The NZ Waterside Workers’<br />
Union was deregistered and the<br />
Government seized all funds<br />
the various branches possessed,<br />
but rumour has it the Lyttelton<br />
branch transferred their assets<br />
to a different account and were<br />
able to keep them. There was a<br />
police baton charge in Tāmaki<br />
Makarau Auckland and skirmishes<br />
in Pōneke Wellington but<br />
no open violence in Ōhinehou<br />
Lyttelton, however with such a<br />
small population centred on the<br />
port, the community was deeply<br />
affected.<br />
The harsh Government<br />
regulations were often<br />
ingeniously circumvented. A<br />
newsletter was secretly produced<br />
on a Gestetner machine in the<br />
New Zealand Seamen’s Union<br />
office on Norwich Quay and<br />
a man known as ‘Gulliver’s<br />
Travels’ speedily distributed such<br />
publications nationwide, thanks<br />
to the coastal shipping network<br />
at the time. One ex-wharfie was<br />
stopped and searched in the<br />
street – he was just carrying<br />
a roll of sandpaper, which the<br />
policeman had mistaken for an<br />
illegal publication.<br />
Unable to meet in any of the<br />
hotels as usual, the wharfies’ only<br />
safe haven was The Loons, the<br />
Waterside Workers Social Club.<br />
The Loons was gifted to the<br />
Lyttelton Working Men’s Club<br />
by the Waterside Workers’ Union<br />
in 1951. Many well-wishers from<br />
around the country were willing<br />
to supply the affected families<br />
with food and other necessities –<br />
in the strictest secrecy of course.<br />
The food had to be picked up<br />
from depots at various houses<br />
around the port. Te Ūaka<br />
Lyttelton Museum’s founder<br />
Baden Norris remembered the<br />
mortification he felt whenever<br />
he saw his mother hiding her<br />
shopping bag under her coat, like<br />
a criminal, to go and collect their<br />
family’s food.<br />
Two young mothers, living<br />
next door to each other, had<br />
a problem – how to boil their<br />
babies’ nappies in their coppers<br />
when the firewood, supplied illegally,<br />
proved too green to burn<br />
without any dry kindling? The<br />
women came to an agreement<br />
– they would share the wooden<br />
fence dividing their properties<br />
to get their fires started. Over<br />
the 151 days of the lockout, the<br />
washing got done and the fence<br />
gradually disappeared.<br />
Some housewives went out<br />
to work for the first time. The<br />
local Lichfield Shirt Factory gave<br />
employment to many women<br />
and girls whose families badly<br />
needed the income. As colder<br />
weather set in, shortages, especially<br />
of coal, started to hit the<br />
population hard. Members of the<br />
unions, which had supported the<br />
watersiders by going on strike,<br />
started going back to work one<br />
by one.<br />
On July 15, 1951, the dispute<br />
ended.<br />
The Government had set up<br />
separate watersiders’ unions<br />
in each of New Zealand’s 26<br />
ports, but those who joined were<br />
considered to be ‘scabs’ by the<br />
original wharfies, many of whom<br />
were blacklisted. It was difficult<br />
for those blacklisted to find other<br />
work. Some lost their houses and<br />
many were in debt for years after.<br />
On prominent display, just<br />
inside the entrance to the old<br />
Lyttelton Museum on Gladstone<br />
Quay, were multiple colourful<br />
certificates, reading:<br />
‘NZ Waterside Workers’ Union<br />
Waterfront Lockout ‘51<br />
Stood Loyal Right Through<br />
One Hundred and Fifty-one<br />
Days—<strong>February</strong> 15 to July 15<br />
1951’<br />
The name of each recipient<br />
is handwritten, and this was<br />
all these poor fellows gained<br />
from the whole sorry episode.<br />
Just remember, if you’re in port,<br />
never call the 1951 dispute a<br />
‘strike’ – it was a lockout, right?<br />

Corolla enters brave new hybrid world<br />
TOYOTA’S TOP selling<br />
Corolla has upped its low<br />
engine emissions credentials<br />
in this country, by ditching the<br />
2.0-litre petrol model, and only<br />
offering hybrid petrol-electrical<br />
powertrains across the entire<br />
range.<br />
Corolla, is one of the best<br />
selling cars on the planet with<br />
more than 50 million sold since<br />
it launched nearly 60-years ago.<br />
Its huge success over this time<br />
has been anchored on it being<br />
solid, dependable and affordable,<br />
and never waivering from those<br />
core attributes which made<br />
it an automotive icon. At the<br />
same time, it has embraced new<br />
technology including safety and<br />
been responsive to changing<br />
buyer demand.<br />
The 12th generation Corolla<br />
has been with us since 2019,<br />
and a quantum advance over<br />
its predecessor with a more<br />
engaging driving experience,<br />
something that hasn’t<br />
traditionally been of strength<br />
of this model. It really hits the<br />
mark by offering high levels of<br />
advanced safety technology,<br />
and clever touches such as<br />
Mobile Assistant. This uses<br />
Motoring with Bob Nettleton<br />
Siri or Google Assistant voice<br />
commands to perform simple<br />
connectivity tasks like sending<br />
a text message or setting a<br />
reminder.<br />
Modern consumers prefer<br />
hybrid-electric powertrains<br />
that are now the most popular<br />
choice across the Corolla range.<br />
In the last two years, a lot of<br />
that is down to the now ditched<br />
generous Government clear car<br />
rebate. While the pace of buyer<br />
interest in EVs and hybrids<br />
will slow with the demise<br />
of incentive, interest won’t<br />
evaporate. I expect they will<br />
continue to appeal to those who<br />
value low emissions and running<br />
costs, and vehicle fleet operators<br />
striving to reduce their carbon<br />
footprints. Nearly two years<br />
ago there were eight models in<br />
the Corolla line-up. Going all<br />
hybrids has halved that figure,<br />
with a hybrid model among the<br />
casualties, with Toyota hitting<br />
the delete button on the sedan.<br />
This is the first time in decades<br />
this body style hasn’t featured<br />
in the Corolla NZ range. A<br />
shame really, because the latest<br />
version was one of the best, but<br />
buyer interest has waned even<br />
from the rental car firms and<br />
fleet operators, traditionally the<br />
largest purchasers of this model.<br />
Firing the opening shot in<br />
the hybridised three hatchback<br />
and one wagon Corolla family<br />
is the price leading $36,995<br />
GX, followed by the mid-range<br />
$39,190 SX and rounding the<br />
hatch offering, is the flagship<br />
$42,190 ZR being reviewed<br />
here. There’s a GX wagon<br />
available for $36,990. The only<br />
remaining petrol only model is<br />
the $76,000 high performance<br />
229kw 1.6-litre turbo GR hatch.<br />
It’s only available in very limited<br />
numbers, with the 150 units a<br />
year earmarked for our market<br />
allocated via a ballot system. An<br />
optional $1000 two-tone paint<br />
job buys you a black roof that<br />
contrasts really well with the<br />
bolder colours in the Corolla<br />
paint swatch, to provide a more<br />
sophisticated look.<br />
From a driving pleasure<br />
perspective, the sweet 125kW<br />
2.0-litre dynamic torque internal<br />
combustion engine naturally<br />
aspirated engine will be missed.<br />
It always impressed with its<br />
strong and zippy performance<br />
and crisp throttle responsive.<br />
By comparison the 1.8-litre<br />
petrol electric hybrid, even with<br />
a combined power output has<br />
been bumped up to 103kw for a<br />
healthy 13kw power gain, lacks<br />
that zing. The extra urge for the<br />
hybrid models is off the back of<br />
Ratings out of 10: Performance 6; Handling 7; Build Quality<br />
7; Comfort 7; Passenger and Load Space 5; Fuel Economy,<br />
on road test average consumption: 5.1L /100km Styling 7;<br />
Safety – Five Star ANCAP crash rating.<br />
Overall points out of 10: 7<br />
the addition of a slightly larger<br />
and powerful battery pack.<br />
The extra performance is<br />
most obvious in around town<br />
motoring. Here the test car now<br />
runs for longer periods on flat<br />
terrain in EV only at speeds of<br />
up to 50km/h. The extra hybrid<br />
heft is less noticeable at higher<br />
speed open road cruising.<br />
Dropping the transmission<br />
into Sport mode was the best<br />
option for brisk overtaking, or<br />
maintaining a respectable pace<br />
on long hill climbs. It’s a pity<br />
the Corolla here doesn’t use the<br />
same impressive 135kW 2.0-litre<br />
petrol electric hybrid system that<br />
features in this model on some<br />
overseas markets. It does a great<br />
job in the Corolla Cross that<br />
arrived here about a year ago.<br />
Maybe Toyota is keeping their<br />
powder dry on it until we see an<br />
all-new Corolla some time in<br />
2025.<br />
The Constant Variable<br />
Transmission automatic has a<br />
dynamic shift featuring a gear<br />
and belt drive system to improve<br />
transmission performance in the<br />
lower ratios, where belt efficiency<br />
isn’t so great. It uses a gear drive<br />
from standing starts, resulting<br />
in stronger acceleration, and<br />
reduces the irritating momentary<br />
sluggishness off the mark that<br />
characterised the CVT in the<br />
outgoing model.<br />
There are lots of positives<br />
about this latest Corolla but<br />
not a modestly proportioned<br />
cabin. Passenger space for rear<br />
seat occupants is cramped with<br />
limited head and legroom. Large<br />
wrap-around driver and front<br />
passenger seats accentuate the<br />
slightly claustrophobic feel for<br />
rear seat occupants.<br />
Befitting its top-of-the-range<br />
status, the ZR is equipped<br />
with a large colour head-up<br />
display, 18-inch alloys, leather<br />
and suede accented sports<br />
front seats, 8-speaker premium<br />
audio system, ambient cabin<br />
illumination, and high-grade bi-<br />
LED headlamps.<br />
This new model has an even<br />
smarter version of Toyota’s Safety<br />
Sense technology package, with<br />
one of the headline changes a<br />
pedestrian and cyclist detection<br />
system. Some other notables<br />
items from this package’s bag of<br />
safety tricks, are autonomous<br />
emergency braking, all speed<br />
dynamic radar cruise control<br />
and automatic high beam on and<br />
off.<br />
Handling went up several<br />
notches with his newest Corolla<br />
I cannot remember a version<br />
that got close to this one for crisp<br />
road holding and supple riding.<br />
The suspension acts quickly and<br />
decisively to calm and soothe<br />
the vehicle and its occupants<br />
through unexpected changes in<br />
direction by the driver, or the<br />
road surface.<br />
This Corolla is full of surprises,<br />
most positive around how it<br />
rides, drives and handles.<br />
