Tommy Chang’s Returns An Atmospheric Gem
Lyttelton’s bar and entertainment scene continues to expand. The rustic doors of Tommy Chang’s have opened once again. Open Wednesday to Sunday, it is the perfect little nook for a drink and a shared plate. Run by a partnership between Dave and Michael, Tommy Chang’s is that blend of hip and steady hand. Tommy Chang’s is an experiment in the making really and things will evolve as the new crew learn the business. One of the new crew is Leah Rothwell. Leah tells the ever so familiar story of arriving in Lyttelton very recently, and then everything falling into place. Originating from Sydney she had been back packing around New Zealand and stumbled upon Lyttelton literally weeks ago, met Dave at the bar and the next thing she and her partner have a place to live and she has the job of running the food side of the business. Leah has been in hospitality for fifteen years and comes from a family where food preparation has been an important part of life. This is the first time in her career that she has been given the opportunity to run the kitchen. “It is really exciting to be here in Lyttelton and getting the opportunity to run the kitchen, which would never have happened in Sydney” she said. Leah is looking forward to all the challenges the job will bring. Her small plates will evolve just like everything at the bar. Today she has been baking an interesting mix of potato and fennel to be accompanied by grapefruit. She also has a variety of homemade dips and chicken liver pate. Plates are very reasonably priced from $8.50. Live music will also feature at this cosy venue. Michael is looking after that side of the business. No doubt this venue will prove popular with many Christchurch and local musicians who are looking for an intimate and atmospheric location. Open Wednesday to Sunday, from 4pm until late.

Pā Kids of Rāpaki Te Karaka Reports
Do you know that Ngai Tahu have a bi monthly magazine called Te Karaka? It is a great way to keep up with interesting stories from Ngai Tahu and more specifically about interesting happenings and people around our harbour. A great example of this is the current month’s story on the Pa Kids by Phil Tumataroa: In a garage in the small sea-side community of Rāpaki, the Pā Kids are making sweet music. This group of six talented Ngāi Tahu tamariki and rangatahi have taken over their aunty’s basement garage and turned it into a practice room. Every week for the past ten months they have been learning to play and sing together. Kerepeti Paraone and brother Reihana Paraone, both talented self-taught musicians who play just about anything they pick up, provided the impetus for the Pā Kids. They offered music lessons to brother Waiariki sister Hineamaru, and cousins Paratene Takurua, Anaru Takurua, and Justice Arahanga-Pryor; all aged between 12 and 15 years. The lessons got everyone excited about the idea of a band and Pā Kids were born. All share a passion for kapa haka and performing, but now Paratene plays a handy lead guitar, Anaru more than keeps up on bass, Justice belts out tunes on the saxophone and Waiariki and Hineamaru take care of the vocals – while Kerepeti opts to play the drums and a collection of other instruments. Only Justice lives outside Rāpaki, but she travels every week to rehearse and spends nearly every weekend at the bay. “We’re all from the pā – hence the name,” says Kerepeti. “And we’re all proud of where we come from – it’s a whānau affair.” The band has a growing repertoire of old school and modern songs and has played five gigs to date, including Hui-ā-Iwi and the opening of Maahunui II, the new wharenui at Tuahiwi. Hineamaru reckons the highlight for her so far was seeing the kaumātua at Hui-ā-Iwi on their feet and dancing to their music. For Waiariki, it’s the buzz of performing in front of people and the confidence it’s building in him. The Pā Kids are motivated and committed. In six months they plan to have enough songs to perform three 60-minute sets of covers and original music – surely enough to tire out the most able kaumātua!

Fire Brigade Update Thank you to Russ Barron, Brigade Secretary, for providing us with an update on the Lyttelton Volunteer Fire Brigade building site on London Street: As some of you may have noticed over the past three weeks work has been progressing on the Lyttelton fire brigade site. No it’s not the start on the new building, but the placement of foundation structures to allow the brigade to move [yet again] back on to the site which will allow the trucks to be parked under cover. It is anticipated that we will be on site until the new building is two thirds finished when we will move in temporarily until the last third is finished, and then we will be at home. This week we will start the move by moving our hall up on to site followed by some of the containers once we have power on site we will then move the watch room, locker room and toilet block and the trucks onto site. Once the containers are in place the temp roof to cover the trucks will be installed. Another step forward in getting back to normal. We trust that the Lyttelton community had a great Christmas and new year break and please remember if you see smoke in them thar’ hills or anywhere in the harbour basin area call 111 immediately it is better to be safe than sorry especially in the hot weather. Don’t forget if you see the fire truck parked in London Street during the Saturday Farmers Market, we are there to answer any questions you may have about the brigade and its equipment, as well as we also have book on sale, come down and meet the team. Have a fire safe summer Russ Barron, Brigade Secretary Lyttelton Volunteer Fire Brigade
The Brigade Official Fundraising Book
Late last year the Lyttelton Volunteer Fire Brigade launched their fundraising book “The Brigade” – the untold story of the men and women of the Lyttelton Volunteer Fire Brigade who found themselves at the very centre of disaster following the February 2011 earthquake sequence. This book is a raw and honest insight into the amazing, emotional and personal stories from the Lyttelton Volunteer Fire Brigade during February 2011. The professionally presented book is a celebration of volunteer spirit and dedication, plus so much more. It is an insight into the remarkable skills a community has within it, the generosity of local employers and the gratitude of a community. A story that might not otherwise have been told. The Brigade is another snap shot into this wonderful community of Lyttelton, and deserves a place on everyone’s bookshelf. The Brigade is available for sale $40 from Coastal Living, Leslies Bookshop, Portico or online at www.thebrigade.org

Summer of Riesling: Wine Tasting Roots celebrates the Summer of Riesling with Wine Writer Jo Burzynska
Roots Restaurant in Lyttelton is teaming up with respected local wine writer, author and Riesling aficionado, Jo Burzynska to offer a tasting of the some of the country’s most exciting Rieslings paired with dishes created from the freshest local produce. This celebration of the Summer of Riesling starts at 6pm on Friday 15 February. Jo will be hosting a tasting exploring the many intriguing faces of Riesling and its versatility with food, featuring a wide selection of styles paired with canapé’s created by Roots’ chef, Giulio Sturla. As some of the greatest Rieslings today come from winegrowers who embrace organic principles, Jo’s selection also reflects the restaurant’s philosophy of using the most naturally produced ingredients. There is then the option to stay on for a further Riesling-themed degustation. The Summer of Riesling is a worldwide movement which encourages the consumption, discussion and enjoyment of Riesling. It’s about having fun, enjoying great wine and not taking ourselves too seriously. The movement began in 2008 when Paul Grieco from the Terroir Wine Bar in New York decided that only Riesling would be offered by the glass as the white wine pour. And so began the revolution. The second New Zealand Summer of Riesling kicked off on 1st December 2012 and runs until 28th February 2013, with Riesling themed events being run across the country. http://www.summerofriesling.co.nz/ Since opening late last year, Roots Restaurant has fast established a reputation for its beautifully executed food with a focus on the local and the natural. Everything is made from scratch and its products sourced from organic suppliers, small producers, biodynamic farms and its own backyard. It’s here, in its attractive rear courtyard that (weather permitting) the evening’s tasting and degustation will be enjoyed. http://rootsrestaurant.co.nz Wine author, journalist, judge and lecturer, Jo Burzynska is one of New Zealand’s leading wine communicators, penning one of the country’s most widely read wine columns in the New Zealand Herald’s Viva magazine, as well as contributing to The Press’ Zest section and specialist wine publications worldwide. She’s the author of Wine Class: all you need to know about wine in New Zealand (Random House) and runs the Adventures in Wine school. joburzynska.com So come taste some great local Riesling and what the Canterbury summer has to offer! Jo’s Riesling tasting costs $50 and features eight wines accompanied by canapés. Those wishing to stay on for the degustation can combine the tasting and dinner – which includes matched wines - for total price of $110. Summer of Riesling: 6pm, Friday 15 February. Booking for the tasting and dinner is essential through Roots: 03 328 7658 or email info@rootsrestaurant.co.nz

Ocean Swim Event Option The ocean swim event option involves swimming either 1, 2 or 3 laps of a triangular swim course set inside the boats at Corsair Bay. Swimmers will start in one of three waves based on the distance that they will be swimming. Check the web site for a list of the event distances for each weeks event. Aquathon Event Option An aquathon consists of an ocean swim followed by a run. The course at Corsair Bay offers a safe and usually calm swim course followed by a slightly challenging off road run which includes some short sharp climbs and some gentle flat terrain on the 4×4 track leading down to Corsair Bay. We offer two options for Aquathon competiors, the short aquathon and long aquathon. The short aquathon competitors start in the wave with the short swimmers and the long aquathon starts with the medium ocean swimmers. Check the web site for a list of the distances for each category each week. SUP Event Option SUP or Stand Up Paddle Boarding will be featuring for the third summer in the 2013 Surf n Turf series and based on the growth that the event experienced last summer we have decided to extend the event option to include both a long and short race option to cater for both the novice paddle boarder and the more experienced that want to challenge themselves over a longer distance. This year we are going to shorten the lap to bring the SUP course back to a 2.5km loop from Corsair Bay to Cass Bay returning following the coast line. The short SUP will complete 1 lap while the long SUP will complete either two or three laps. Check the web site for a list of distances for each week. Run Only Event Option The 3km or 5km run event option is ideal for competitors who prefer to keep their feet dry. Competing over the same run course as the aquathon competitors our run only option is the final event option on the 2013 Surf n Turf program.

About Sixtyniner: Underground cartoon flash animator Sixtyniner does it on his own now. Onemanband extravaganza!

Making you want to buy not one CD but 2 so you always have a spare. This is truly a lot of noise for a one-man band, but it sounds good. [Rolling stoned magazine, 2011] About Faster Pussycat Kill Kill: Formed in 2008 as a tongue-in-cheek take on the sixties surf and rockabilly sounds made famous by Wanda Jackson and more recently Brian Setzer, the band is currently moving away from '60s rockabilly to their new original trash garage pop.

Wunderbar: Mihirangi - Queen of Loops Saturday 2 February | 8.00pm $20 Door Sales R18
Once you experience Mihirangi’s empowering live loop show, you’ll be hooked into her organic earthy vibe and captivated by her stunning vocal performance. It’s easy to see why they call her, ‘The Queen of Loops’. Mihirangi has had an expansive journey, having toured for seven years, five times around the globe and performing at more than 50 international festivals. She is a dynamic musician as much of her live acts are in freestyle form, as in, made up on the spot. She has captured her favourite songs from these experiences in the studio and now, Mihirangi is about to release these on her much-anticipated second album - ‘Somebody Shake The Tree’. Beautifully titled ‘Somebody Shake The Tree’, which is exactly what Mihirangi does as an artist, she is celebrating this album release with a summer tour of New Zealand before heading off shore to share this music again on international stages. Somebody Shake The Tree’ is a beat-driven tapestry of pure vocal and lyrical percussion, bass and beat loops with the addition of live drums, guitar, keys and tāonga puoro. From heavy gritty baselines to sweet symphonic harmonies, Mihirangi’s music will move and inspire you with her universal messages. Though she is an amazing multi-instrumental performer, what makes Mihirangi unique, is that she doesn't take her self too seriously and an essential part of her performance is her infectious giggle, fun-loving natural charm and spontaneous crowd participation.

plenty to share In Lyttelton so many residents grow vegetables; or have fruit trees literally dripping with produce. Plenty to Share is about sharing any excess produce with the community. So if your lemon tree is yellow with goodness and you can’t keep up with making lemon curd, bring those surplus fruits down to the organisers, where every Saturday the swapping of produce is well underway in Lyttelton on the corner of London and Canterbury Street; and also in Diamond Harbour on a Saturday morning at the village centre. If there is something on the Plenty to Share table that you would like to take home, then you are warmly invited to do so.

LIFT Library Update Hope you are able to enjoy this real summer weather we’re having – a good excuse to relax outside, in sun or shade as you prefer – if you’re not back at work fulltime! We have three new books I’d like to tell you about. The first book I haven’t had time to read just yet, but it looks like a nice alternative to other books about corporate leaders looking after their own and their shareholders’ interests ahead of ours: Eco Barons: The New Heroes of Environmental Activism 2009 Edward Humes An eco baron is the opposite of a robber baron, using talent, gumption, and wealth not for personal gain but for environmental good. Humes brings a fluency in complex issues and a love of David-Goliath stories to this illuminating group portrait of embattled visionaries who ‘are showing the world that nature can be nurtured. [Booklist] This next one I received as a Christmas present, and fell in love with, so decided to buy it for LIFT Library. The author very generously gave us a discount, and then autographed it for us: “For Lyttelton, via the LIFT Library”. Lyttelton: A Love Story 2012 Sarah Lamont There is a two-page introduction, explaining how and why Sarah came to live and work in Lyttelton, followed by 250 pages of wonderful photos of Lyttelton and the harbour, both before and after the quakes, occasional texts of explanation [including her work at the Timeball Station], and poetry she has written. It’s hard to say which moved me most – the photos or the poetry. Sarah is an artist with both words and pictures, conveying both the facts and the emotions so skilfully. As I moved through the book, slowly, I often had a smile on my face or tears in my eyes. One poem, my favourite, "Amalgamation", won in a competition that Canterbury University Press ran last year for poetry in response to the earthquakes. I strongly recommend that you borrow this treasure – and if you really love it you can still find copies in Portico – if you’re quick – not many left. And this last book I earned for LIFT by writing a review of over 1000 words for IJCCR (International Journal of Community Currency Research). This is why I haven’t been reading much else lately!: Equal Time, Equal Value: Community Currencies and Time Banking in the United States 2012 Ed Collom, Judith N. Lasker, Corinne Kyriacou Here’s the first paragraph of the review. And I think the main value of the book here will be for those who are wanting to start up Timebanks, or strengthen existing ones with other methods of managing, or research the system as developed in NZ. “This book was written to “provide an in-depth investigation of Time Banking in the United States”. All three contributors have been involved in research into, and worked closely with, various Time Banks in the USA. They chose Time Banking from among the current systems of community currencies, in the knowledge that Time Banks are the most popular type, are more flexible than others, and their exchange data are more readily available as they are recorded electronically. However they can be very challenging to launch and sustain, so it is hoped that the information and examples provided here will enable long-term success in the future. All readers would gain both knowledge and inspiration from the wealth of well-organised information, though readers with an academic background in the field of sociology will appreciate more of the detail than the ordinary reader.”
lyttelton market town Saturday mornings are never dull in Lyttelton! Enjoy the local markets including the Lyttelton Farmers Market for fresh produce, meat, fish, eggs, honey and yummy baked goods.

LIFT Library Film Evening Every Monday Evening
Film Evening, Monday 28 January:
MEAT THE TRUTH
The rise in the number of meat-eaters in developing countries is not actually balanced by the number of meat-eaters in developed countries trending towards vegetarianism. This film raises many issues about the growth of the meat industry. Here are just two points:
18% of global greenhouse gases are caused by livestock farming; 7kg of crop feed (soy, corn etc) is needed to make 1kg of beef, preventing that land area from producing vegetables and fruits, which are more nutritious for us;
There is lots more information that will make you think about the health of the planet and humans and animals. Watch this trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lPxHaJ-87w And then come and watch the film MONDAY 28 JANUARY at The Portal, 54A Oxford Street.

Waitangi Day Celebrations: Okains Bay Te Karaka: Adrienne Rewi
Waitangi Day celebrations on February 6 at Okains Bay on Banks Peninsula will once again centre around the Okains Bay Māori and Colonial Museum. Its 173 years since the Treaty of Waitangi was signed between Māori land owners and the Crown, and it’s the 36th anniversary of the museum, which opened in 1977. Waitangi Day celebrations are the biggest day of the year in the bay and around 3,000 people attend. This year the museum will open at 10am, followed by a traditional welcome at the marae for officials and guests. Two beautiful traditional waka, usually on display in a shed beside the river, will paddled up the river at 11.50am and celebrations will continue with a lunchtime hangi. The museum itself with feature all-day demonstrations of blacksmithing, breadmaking, early printmaking, tractors and steam engines, black powder shooting, horse and buggy rides, wood carving, saddlery and much more. Okains Bay is one of the prettiest on the peninsula and its beach – just 1.5km past the museum – is a favourite with holiday campers, who pitch tents in the pine glade, adjacent to the sand dunes. It’s a terrific place to visit at any time of year but the Waitangi Day Family Day makes it a great day out. The quaint local store will be open, petrol and diesel available. Entry to the hangi lunch will be $10 for adults and $2 for children. Meanwhile, the official Ngāi Tahu Waitangi Day celebrations this year will be held on February 6th at Ōnuku Marae at Akaroa.

Need help with your insurance claims? You might be aware that EQC has set up a mediation service to help resolve disputes. With the complex issues surrounding earthquake matters, many homeowners are experiencing difficulties in dealing with their insurance claims. Mediation can be offered as an option if you have not been able to resolve your complaint through EQC Customer Complaints Resolution Team. Mediation offers an opportunity to sit down with an EQC representative (EQC negotiator) to talk about the issues, to share information, to look at options and hopefully to make steps towards the resolution of your claims. You will be assisted in your conversations by a mediator who will facilitate the conversation. The mediator acts as an independent, and impartial third party. His or her role is to facilitate the conversations between yourself and the EQC representative. EQC mediation service is independently administered by AMINZ (Arbitrators and Mediators Institute of New Zealand). The service is free to claimants. You can visit www.eqcmediation.org.nz or call or call 0800 866 334 between the hours of 10.30am to 4.00pm Monday to Friday for more information. If you are looking for a mediator Chantal Jousserand-Shirley is mediator who lives in Lyttelton and is on the EQC mediation panel. Chantal has over 13 years' experience as a mediator. She has a degree in psychology and has recently completed a Masters in Management in Dispute Resolution. She aims to provide an environment that is fair and equitable. You can contact Chantal Jousserand-Shirley at timetoresolve@xtra.co.nz or phone number 328 8219 or 022 618 8532 for more information.
