Sailing star’s helmet up for 

auction at slipway soirée 

• By Dylan Smits 

COASTGUARD Sumner want 

to attract generous donors to its 

soirée through unique auction 

items like Peter Burling’s signed 

SailGP helmet. 

The networking event next 

week is not intended to make 

money, but instead launch the 

group’s fundraising season as 

they look to pay 

for an extension 

to the rescue 

boat slipway. 

Celebrated 

Kiwi sailor 

and skipper of 

the victorious 

2021 America’s 

Cup team, 

Burling has 

autographed 

Blair 

Quane 

and donated one of his SailGP 

helmets for the soirée auction. It 

has a starting bid of $200. 

Organisers hope the soirée 

auction will bring attention to the 

problems plaguing the slipway. 

“We can’t launch at low tide at 

the moment due to the rock build 

up. It’s been a problem since the 

earthquakes,” said president Blair 

Quane. 

The coastguard regularly need 

to remove silt and rocks from 

FIX-IT: The slipway for Blue Arrow Rescue is blocked by sand, slit and rocks during low tide. The project to extend the 

slipway will allow the rescue boat to operate 24 hours a day. Coastguard Sumner is holding a soirée with an auction 

which includes one of Peter Burling’s SailGP helmets. 

the end of the slipway which can 

block Blue Arrow Rescue from 

launching into the water for 

about 10 hours a day. 

“It’s frustrating, not only from 

a rescue point of view, but it’s 

also frustrating in terms of the 

amount of work that we actually 

have to do to organise these dig 

outs.” 

Quane estimates the extension 

project will cost $500,000. 

The material build-up is an 

ongoing result of the earthquakes 

where rockfall and increased silt 

flowing from the Avon-Heathcote 

Estuary has been pushed 

against the breakwater near the 

coastguard station. 

The coastguard expected the 

build up to decrease overtime, 

but it has remained a major issue 

long after the earthquakes.

BANKS PENINSULA MP 

Vanessa Weenink has changed 

her mind about increasing speed 

limits for State Highway 75. 

It comes after she received crash 

data from police Canterbury rural 

area commander Peter Cooper, 

which Weenink says shows a decrease 

in crashes after speed limits 

were reduced in September 2022. 

The speed limit was reduced 

from 100km/h to 80km/h between 

Halswell and Little River, 

and lowered to 60km/h in most 

sections of the Little River to 

Akaroa stretch. 

National MP Weenink will now 

submit against raising the SH75 

speed limit when her coalition 

government considers which state 

highways to increase speed limits 

on. The review will be part of the 

Government’s “accelerate NZ” 

plan. 

The data, going back to 2015, 

shows a decrease in fatal and other 

crashes along the whole state 

highway from Halswell to Akaroa 

after the speed limit change, 

Weenink said. 

“To me the police data is very 

clear that it’s been successful in 

improving safety. Nobody wants 

to be the person who says ‘I want 

to see more crashes’.” 

Weenink had the goal of 

restoring the higher limits while

campaigning, as long as it was 

determined to be safe. 

Cooper and Weenink declined 

to release the crash data to Bay 

Harbour News. 

Weenink said she could not 

share the data because it was 

confidential and she did not want 

to break police trust. 

A police spokesperson said the 

figures Cooper shared were “very 

brief, anecdotal numbers’’. 

They were not “official statistics” 

so police were unable to share

them publicly, the spokesperson 

said. 

Crash data obtained by Bay 

Harbour News for the straighter 

sections of SH75, from Halswell 

to Little River from January 2021 

to the present, shows the 80km/h 

speed limit had a marginal impact 

on decreasing crashes. 

There were eight serious crashes 

in the area before the speed limit 

change and seven afterwards. 

For all crashes, there were 30 

crashes before the speed limit 

change and 24 afterwards.

to Little River should also stay at 

80km/h, saying the different 

data she received also showed a 

decrease in crashes there. 

“I am open to any discussions 

around that, of course.” 

AA research and road safety 

manager Dylan Thomsen said 

the association believes the 

section from Halswell to Little 

River should have a speed limit 

of 100km/h, which then reduces 

towards Akaroa. 

“It is a section of highway that 

has low-medium risk levels compared 

to other highways around 

the country, but becomes twisty 

and windy after Little River,” he 

said. 

“Our preference would be to 

see the roads improved to be safer 

rather than lowering limits.” 

Weenink said she will make 

a submission against increasing 

the speed limit once the Ministry 

of Transport sets up a review 

process. 

“As soon as I get information 

about that, then I’ll make a 

submission.”

Evolving 

The new book by beloved broadcaster Judy Bailey on 

finding health and happiness as we age 

by Judy Bailey 

An inspiring and personal guide to ageing well and with happiness, by national 

treasure Judy Bailey. When beloved broadcaster Judy Bailey signed off her final 

news bulletin in 2005, she had no idea that the next years would be some of the 

most fulfilling of her life. 

In Evolving Judy shares new science and personal stories that have shaped her 

own path into older age. She tackles subjects like taking care of your body and 

mind through to organising finances, navigating health scares, grieving loved ones 

and enjoying the finer things. Age is no picnic but we shouldn’t feel afraid of a path 

so many have walked before us. This book is Judy’s inspiring, informative take on 

embracing our next stage in life. 

All You Need Is Love 

The End of the Beatles - An Oral History by Those Who Were 

There By Steven Gaines, Peter Brown 

All You Need is Love is a ground-breaking oral history of the Beatles and how it all 

came to an end. Based on never-before-published or heard interviews with Paul 

McCartney, Yoko Ono, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, and their families, friends, 

and business associates, this is a landmark book, containing stunning new 

revelations, about the biggest band the world has ever seen. In 1980-1981 former 

COO of Apple Corp, Peter Brown and author Steven Gaines interviewed everyone 

in the Beatles’ inner circle and included a small portion of the transcripts in their 

international bestselling book The Love You Make, which spent four months on 

the New York Times bestseller list. But left in their archives was a treasure trove of 

unique and candid interviews that they chose not to publish, until now. A powerful 

work assembled through honest, intimate, sometimes contradictory and always 

fascinating testimony, All You Need is Love is a one-of-a-kind insight into the final 

days, weeks, months and years of the Beatles phenomenon. 

Hine Toa 

An extraordinary memoir by a trailblazing voice in women’s, 

queer and Maori liberation movements 

By Ngahuia te Awekotuku 

An extraordinary memoir by a trailblazing voice in women’s, queer and Maori 

liberation movements In the 1950s, a young Ngahuia is fostered into a family who 

believe in hard work and community. Although close to her kuia, she craves more: 

she wants higher education and refined living. But whanau dismiss her dreams. 

To them she is just a show-off, always getting into trouble, talking back, 

experimenting in sexual trespass and running away. In this fiery and inspiring 

memoir, Ngahuia te Awekotuku describes what was possible for a restless workingclass 

girl from the pa. After moving to Auckland for university, Ngahuia meets her 

people among the creatives and outliers. Hine Toa is an extraordinary memoir 

about identity and belonging: the story of a girl who grew up with the odds stacked 

against her but who had the resilience and courage to carve a path of her own. 

Foraging New Zealand 

By Peter Langlands 

An essential guide to foraging in New Zealand. Beyond the garden gate, New 

Zealand is full of edible plants, fungi and seaweed. But how do you know which 

mushroom, berry or herb is safe to eat, or even delicious enough to warrant 

collecting? With details on flavour, identification, where to look and how to 

consume, this is the essential guide to the top 250 ingredients worth foraging. 

Packed with photographs, useful information and instructions on how to forage, 

this will have you view weeds with fresh eyes, send you out into the countryside 

with new purpose and ensure you return with a laden basket to create innovative 

dishes for your table. 

Dame Suzy D 

By Susan Devoy 

Kiwi icon Dame Susan Devoy tells her story as only she can. With frank honesty 

and heaps of humour and heart, Susan recalls going from world squash champion 

to mum of four to Race Relations Commissioner and Celebrity Treasure Island star. 

A four-time world squash champion, Dame Susan Devoy has led a remarkably 

varied life. She’s been Race Relations Commissioner, a television star, a newspaper 

columnist, raised four boys and met Bill Clinton and King Charles. Fiercely driven 

and wildly competitive, her straight up style and hilarious turn of phrase won her 

a whole new generation of fans during her two appearances on Celebrity treasure 

Island in 2022 and 2023. In her own words - and in her distinctive style - Dame 

Susan tells the story of her life, from reigning supreme in the world of sport, to 

having to start over after she and her husband John lost everything, to why she’ll 

try anything once -including picking kiwifruit to stave off lockdown-induced 

boredom. Frank, funny, and pulling no punches, Susan Devoy’s life story is unlike 

any other you’ve read.

Wheels turning on new skatepark 

CONSTRUCTION IS set 

to start later this month at 

Sumner’s new skatepark with 

work at the 26 Nayland St site 

expected to finish by Christmas. 

“We know this has been a long 

time coming for the Sumner 

community, and this project 

has proved hugely popular with 

locals,” acting community parks 

manager Bridie Gibbings said. 

“It’s been a labour of love 

for the residents for years and 

will be a great asset to the 

community once completed.” 

The park is the first stage of 

creating the Sumner Village 

Green, which will become an 

outdoor space for community 

use. 

The skatepark project has 

faced numerous barriers since it 

was identified as a community 

goal by the city council in 2000. 

Finding the right location 

proved difficult, with many 

residents opposed to having the 

skatepark near their property. 

The old Marine Tavern site, 

demolished after the earthquakes, 

was selected as the 

location for the skatepark and 

Sumner Village Green space in 

2018. 

The land was bought by the 

Crown after the 2011 earthquake 

and then sold to the city 

council. 

The skatepark will include a 

1.9m deep pool bowl with an 

VISION: This design plan shows the skatepark’s proposed features. There will be a pool 

bowl with an upper mini bowl section, a flow bowl with a corner extension, a turnabout 

quarter pipe and an ‘across and down’ ledge. 

upper 1.2m deep mini bowl 

section, a 1-1.2m deep flow bowl 

with a corner extension, a turnabout 

quarter pipe and an ‘across 

and down’ ledge. 

The facility will have a ramp 

into the pump bump area and 

manual box, a high pump bump, 

a rail, a quarter pipe, a rollover 

finger and learner section, plus 

back and angled ledges. 

Seating, pool-style fencing and 

landscaping will surround the 

park. 

“The area is about more than 

just concrete ramps and railings 

– it will provide an inclusive 

space for young people to gather 

and improve their skills,” said 

Gibbings. 

“The site is right in the heart 

of the community, and we’re 

excited to see it become a new 

‘hang out spot’ for Sumner 

youth.” 

Once construction of the 

skatepark is completed, work 

will start on the green area 

which includes a picnic space, 

seating and a double barbecue. 

A ceremony celebrating the 

start of construction will be held 

at the site on Saturday at 10am.

In Brief 

EXHIBITION TELLS 

STORY OF RESERVE 

An Akaroa Museum exhibition 

is telling the story of the 

Takapūneke reserve area and the 

long journey for the site to gain 

recognition as a place of cultural 

and historical significance. ‘He 

Ara Roimata ki te Anamata 

- Takapūneke, our journey, 

our survivance’ is open until 

November. The museum is open 

daily from 10.30am-4.30pm. 

FERAL ANIMAL FOCUS 

A community meeting to discuss 

issues caused by an increased feral 

population of deer, pigs and goats 

will be held in Little River next 

Wednesday from 5.30-7pm. As a 

population increase puts native 

habitats at risk, Environment 

Canterbury will listen to public 

concerns and discuss individual 

responsibilities for population 

control. Funding options and 

opportunities will be outlined. 

NEW FORMAT FOR 

TRUST MEETINGS 

The Little River Wairewa 

Community Trust is changing its 

public meeting format to encourage 

community submissions. Meetings 

will start at 7.10pm and address 

governance business followed by 

a public forum from 8pm. Next

the Okuti Valley hall. The trust 

meets on the first Monday of every

An extended platform will be built for 

the slipway, allowing the rescue boat to 

bypass the debris and launch into deeper 

water, 24 hours a day. 

Quane hopes Coastguard New Zealand 

and the city council will provide some form 

of support, but the Sumner crew will still 

need to fundraise a large sum. 

A city council spokesperson said there are 

no plans at this stage to fund the project. 

The coastguard hopes to attract people to 

the soirée with guest speaker Peter Lester. 

The Lyttelton-born yachtsman will share 

stories about the sailing world and insights

‘Absolute gem’ leaving 

to answer call of home 

• By Fin Ocheduszko Brown 

NOTHING COULD keep Chris 

Smith from his work maintaining 

Te Raekura Redcliffs School. 

Even when it was declared 

unsafe, due to the risk of cliff collapse 

following the earthquakes, 

the native Yorkshireman continued 

with its upkeep, earning him 

a sympathetic slap on the wrist 

from the police. 

Now after 15 years at the 

school, he and his wife Susan are 

heading back to the UK. 

And there’s no doubt Smith 

will be missed. 

“He was happy to be in the 

background working away for 

the bigger picture,” said former 

colleague Leanne Kennedy, in 

reference to the many roles he 

took on in addition to the one he 

was paid for. 

Proofreading the school 

newsletter before it was released, 

assisting fundraising events, helping 

out at Redcliffs’ community 

library, the Lions Club or the famous 

Redcliffs School fair are just 

some of the ways he contributed 

to his adopted community. 

Another colleague, Nicola 

Holdaway, described Smith as an 

“all round good guy that’s always 

LEGACY: Chris and Susan Smith are reluctantly bidding 

farewell to the Redcliffs community they’ve given so much 

back to. 

got time for you and is willing to 

help others.” 

Smith adopted the ‘tidy Kiwi’ 

mantra and was an avid recycler; 

known to turn a seemingly unusable 

object over five times before 

deciding to use it for something 

else. 

His time at the school has now 

come to an end, but the decision 

to return home was bittersweet. 

“We came for two years and 

stayed for 22, so that tells you 

something about the area we’re 

in,” said Smith. 

“We’ve had a really great time 

but the family have called and we 

just have to go now.” 

Said Kennedy: “Perhaps the 

community won’t know what 

they’ve lost until he’s gone, but we 

do. He is just an absolute gem.” 

TRIO: 

Diamond 

Harbour 

artist Brenda 

Nightingale, 

centre, has 

teamed up 

with jewellers 

Karl Fritsch 

and Lisa 

Walker for a 

landscapes 

exhibition. 

Artists showcase 

residency work 

A DIAMOND Harbour artist 

is exploring the relationship 

between Ngāi Tahu and the 

environment in a new Stoddart 

Cottage exhibition. 

Brenda Nightingale is joined 

by internationally renowned 

Wellington jewellers Karl 

Fritsch and Lisa Walker. 

The trio have been collaborating 

on the exhibition while 

completing a residency at the 

cottage. 

In We Did All These 

Landscapes, the artists are 

presenting a new body of work 

created during April. 

The result spans their diverse 

practices and includes jewellery, 

painting and embroidery. 

They have been inspired by 

their interactions with the nearby 

environment – from Stoddart 

Cottage to Nightingale’s garden, 

house and studio. 

They will be sharing their 

thoughts and experiences at 

an artists talk on Saturday at 

2pm, followed by the exhibition 

opening at 3pm. All are welcome 

to attend, no bookings required. 

Nightingale was until recently 

the head of art at Hagley College 

and holds a Master of Fine Arts 

in painting from Canterbury 

University. 

She regularly exhibits with 

the Jonathan Smart Gallery 

in Sydenham and the Hamish 

McKay Gallery in Wellington. 

• We Did All These 

Landscapes runs from 

Friday until May 26. The 

cottage’s opening hours

TREASURES FROM THE PAST 

William Sinclair – a true lifesaving hero 

• By Steve McKelvey 

IT IS NOT often a Royal 

Humane Society recipient 

receives both a medal and a 

commendation. 

For William Sinclair’s second 

award in February 1899, the 

Lyttelton Times reported that 

his latest rescue of a young boy 

falling from the wharf made “the 

seventeenth life that Mr Sinclair 

has saved at personal risk”. 

William Sinclair was born 

in 1865 in Sumner to recently 

married widower William 

Sinclair and Elizabeth Wilson, 

proprietors of the Heathcote 

Valley Store. 

William senior had been 

postmaster there before 

entrusting the business to his 

brother John and returning to his 

trade as a ship’s carpenter in the 

Redcliffs/Sumner area. 

In 1870, after establishing 

Sinclair’s Hotel in Rangiora with 

brother John, William senior 

moved to Lyttelton and built a 

shipwright business in Dampier’s 

Bay. 

Young William grew up 

with his large family above the 

Lyttelton graving dock, learning 

his father’s trade. His older half 

brother James Sinclair had built 

the racing yachts Little Wonder, 

the 52 foot national title holder 

Mascotte and the lateen rigged 

Bettina which he and family 

raced. 

William competed with 

brothers Ebenezer and Donald 

as members of the Lyttelton 

Rowing Club. He won titles in 

the single sculls, pairs and fours. 

The club owned a number of 

boats and regularly competed in 

Christchurch, Little River and 

Akaroa. Member William (Billy) 

Webb, ten years William’s junior,

became world champion single 

sculler. 

The well-known Webb family 

is remembered by Webb Ln off 

Voelas Rd in Lyttelton. 

William Sinclair also excelled 

at swimming and competed 

at Corsair Bay and in the 

Lyttelton Dry Dock. He and 

brother Donald were foundation 

members of the Lyttelton 

Amateur Swimming Club 

incorporated in 1892. 

The club had its inaugural 

sports meeting at the dry 

dock, the event opened by the 

president Canon C Coates with 

entertainment provided by 

the Lyttelton Garrison Band 

(later known as the Lyttelton 

Marine Band). A number of 

Christchurch swimming clubs 

were also present. 

In 1894, William Sinclair was a 

seaman on the Lyttelton Harbour 

Board steam paddle tug Lyttelton 

which was in service from 1878 

until 1907. 

The Australasian Humane 

Society records show the events 

leading to the presentation of 

William’s bronze medal: 

“On 9 November 1894, two 

boys Cyril R and Alexander 

James Walker fell over a cliff at 

the Godley Head Lighthouse to 

the rocks 90 feet below. 

“It seemed impossible that they

the Lyttelton Dry Dock, before 1900. 

PHOTO: TE ŪAKA LYTTELTON MUSEUM REF 14993.36 

could be rescued from the shore. 

A tug was sent for, and having 

arrived at the scene, lowered a 

boat. But no one could land on 

these rocks. 

“They then rowed around the 

head of the cliff, and a landing 

was effected on the other side. 

William Sinclair, of Lyttelton, a 

seaman, with great risk to his life, 

ascended the cliff, taking a rope 

with him. The rope was held by 

those below and passed down on 

the other side to where the boys 

were. 

“Mr Sinclair went down by 

this rope, and found that one of 

the boys had broken his leg; the 

other had been severely shaken. 

Mr Sinclair bound the broken leg 

to the sound one, put him on his 

back, went up the rope handover-hand, 

and lowered the boy 

down to the crew on the other 

side. The other boy was able to 

climb up the rope himself.” 

At a public gathering at the 

Colonist’s Hall in Oxford Street 

in September 1895, Mayor C 

Schumacher awarded William 

the bronze medal and certificate 

on behalf of His Excellency the 

Governor. The Honourable WC 

Walker, member of parliament 

and father of the two boys 

rescued, also gifted a gold watch 

in appreciation. 

William Sinclair’s next award, 

in 1899, was one of the first 

presented by the newly formed 

Royal Humane Society of New 

Zealand, which initially met at 

the Christchurch City Council 

Chambers, later taking rooms in 

Chancery Ln. Its first president 

was John Joyce, member of 

parliament for Lyttelton 1887- 

1899 and namesake of a local 

street. The Rev EE Chambers, 

minister of St Saviours Church, 

West Lyttelton, was a founding 

director from 1898-1921. 

Circumstances leading to 

William Sinclair’s letter of 

commendation are recorded as 

follows: 

“William Sinclair, labourer, 32 

of Lyttelton, rescued Cyril Owen 

from drowning in the harbour on 

12 February 1899. 

“Seeing the boy in deep water 

in the vicinity of the yacht 

jetty, and hearing the cries of 

bystanders, he ran along the 

shore and took to the water close 

to the jetty, swam out to the boy, 

but before he could reach him 

the lad had sunk in about ten feet 

of water. 

“Sinclair dived and secured 

Owens and brought him ashore. 

Sinclair on several previous 

occasions was instrumental in 

saving lives.” 

In 1888, William went to the 

Klondike gold rush in Canada 

for nearly a year with two other 

Lyttelton men, HN Hiskens and 

T Roger, along with G Cropp 

from Linwood. 

In the early 1900s, William, 

his wife Sarah, and their three 

daughters and two sons moved 

to Dunedin, where William was 

employed by the Otago Harbour 

Board until his retirement in 

1918. He passed away on July 29, 

1947.
