Cruise Ship in Lyttelton Europa in Port Last Week

As the second anniversary of February 22 nears, it was heart warming to observe the Europa cruise ship come into port last week. Such a visit provided local residents a small glimpse into how life in the port used to be just a few short years ago. For this particular cruise ship the visit is of note worthy interest, as the last visit was on February 22nd 2011. Glad to see they had an uneventful visit to Lyttelton this time around.

720 Days: Port-a-Loos Are Gone Hip Hip Horray

Who would have ever thought we would be celebrating so much for the return of the Lyttelton public toilets? Almost two years to the date that they were put out of action, the public facilities at the Lyttelton Harbour Information Centre building are re-opening. A delighted Ian Jackson from the Christchurch City Council came to tell staff at the Lyttelton Harbour Information Centre the good news. The much dreaded Port-a-Loos have been taken away, and never to return again, we hope. Thank you to all the businesses and the Lyttelton Library for allowing the public to use your premises while we have all endured this long wait. Thank you to Leslie’s Bookshop for assisting the many visitors who searched for this basic function in our township. The spot light now turns to Governors Bay were the public eagerly awaits the re-opening of the deluxe toilet at the Allendale Domain. Article and Image: Lyttelton Harbour Information Centre

Brothels in Lyttelton What is the latest news?

On Monday the 25th February, the Brothels Bylaw Hearings Panel will meet again to discuss the new Bylaw. In December, the Christchurch City Council heard the recommendations of the Hearing Panel, which included not having Lyttelton as a designated area for commercially run brothels. The Hearing Panel further recommended that all commercial brothels be located within the Four Avenues.

RED LIGHT DISTRICT LYTTELTON

Christchurch City Council has requested that the Panel deliberate again specifically about adding Lyttelton back into the mix of places where commercial brothels should be allowed to open. If you are opposed to Lyttelton township being nominated as an area suitable for large scale brothels to set up and do business, now would be a good time to get those emails and letters going into the Hearing Panel and the Christchurch City Council in order to remind them of your views on locating commercial brothels in our small town.

While I am sure that we all wish Claudia Reid the best with her health, as far as we can tell since Claudia is ill, we have no real representation within Council. We need to take it upon ourselves to have our voices heard by both the Council and the Community Board on this topic. The Community Board is meeting this Thursday at 1.30 pm in their new offices on London Street. You can call or email Liz Carter at liz.carter@ccc.govt.nz or call 941-5682 if you would like to have a few minutes to speak to the Community Board about this issue or just show up to let them know. The email addresses for the Panel are: Helen Broughton helen.broughton@ccc.govt.nz jimmy.chen@ccc.govt.nz Jimmy Chen Glenn Livingstone glenn.livingstone@ccc.govt.nz

Stark Bros Support BioDiesel BioGold Diesel â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Green Fuels NZ Ltd

As many of you will be aware Solid Energy, the principal behind BioDiesel New Zealand Limited, announced their intention to sell the subsidiary company in 2012. Stark Bros and Ocean Fisheries were foundation customers in 2007 and remained strong supporters of BioDiesel New Zealand Limited, using BioGold blended products exclusively in our diesel vehicles and fishing boats. We also transported and stored various products for BioDiesel New Zealand Limited. We are pleased to confirm that the business and assets of BioDiesel New Zealand Limited has been sold to a group of investors headed by Martin Johnson, the previous Fuel Business Manager of BioDiesel New Zealand Limited, and also including Karl Hatton the Production Manager from BioDiesel New Zealand Limited.

Stark Bros is proud to announce that we are part of this new company, having purchased a 33% shareholding in the new company called Green Fuels New Zealand Limited. We are excited by the prospect of having input into the governance of this company and look forward to strengthening our relationship with BioGold products being manufactured, marketed and sold by Green Fuels New Zealand Limited.

BioGold B5 is 5% Biodiesel with 95% mineral diesel, this is able to be used in any diesel engine, while BioGold B100 is 100% Biodiesel, generally sold for specific Environmental Benefits. We encourage our clients and suppliers to contact Martin Johnson to obtain pricing and supply proposals, as we are sure that Green Fuels New Zealand Limited can provide very competitive pricing while also enabling your company to subscribe to the environmental and sustainability aspects of using BioGold Diesel products.

Missed Ground’s Catering? Well the Girls are Back

Almost two years on from that fateful day in February 2011 it is great to see Jenny Garing happy and excited again. With time to think, and business insurance matters sorted, Jenny has reinvented Ground. It is set to flourish focusing on the things that Jenny has always been passionate about. You will be pleased to know that Ground has taken out the full time lease of the kitchen at the Naval Point Club and from this base Jenny is going to re-establish the Ground catering business, continue cooking for the Farmers Market stall, host cooking classes and supply other businesses wholesale with her well established spice ranges, dips and smoked products. Joining Jenny will be Flic. Some of you will remember Flic from pre earthquake time. Flic had ventured off to try something new, that didn’t quite work so she’s delighted to be back in Lyttelton again working with Jenny and Ground once again. The pair are enjoying creating food together again. “We are also exploring working with quite a few new outlets” Jenny said. “Remember our smoked chicken and smoked salmon? They will be able to be purchased from the new deli in Lyttelton”. This new deli is the brain child of Glen Harris and Andrew Turner. Some of Ground’s products are already stocked locally by Harbour Co-Op and they have requests from Cooper and Co plus other outlets in Christchurch. The team have also taken over the Choice take home food range developed by James Sinclair. This will soon be available from the new deli. Catering will comprise of two ranges. The specialised range that Ground used to do plus the Choice range. This will offer you price competitive options for all budgets. Food for special occasions, business lunches, afternoon teas or what ever you desire will be available, you just need to call to discuss your options. As the business gets back to full swing you will also see more options for cooking classes and workshops. Keep an eye out for things in the Lyttelton Harbour Review. Don’t forget that if you want to see Jenny or Flic in person they will be at the Lyttelton Farmers Market each week. Another added bonus is Jenny is writing a column for Zest, a Press publication. Jenny one of the food experts, so if you have a foodie question you can email her and she will answer it for you. Talking with Jenny she feels relaxed and excited about the business ramping up again. “This time it is more reflective of my needs and passions, and it will compliment a balanced lifestyle” she said.

about the lyttelton harbour review Lyttelton Harbour Review is a community newsletter initiative developed by local Professionals real estate agent Lynnette Baird and Lyttelton Harbour Information Centre chairperson Wendy Everingham. The objective of the Lyttelton Harbour Review is to help keep local residents informed with what is going on in the wider Lyttelton Harbour community.

If you have an event, topic, cause, or other, that you would like to share with the harbour community, then we would love to hear from you. Be heard, be seen, be informed - read it or offer it here.

Suburban Centres Programme Lytteltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Civic Square: Creating a Civic Square for Lyttelton, Together

During development of the Lyttelton Master Plan, the Lyttelton community asked for a new civic square. The site, formerly occupied by Ground CafĂŠ, the Albion Hotel and the Borough Council Offices, has been purchased by Christchurch City Council for this purpose. The Lyttelton/Mt Herbert Community Board now wants your ideas on what you want to see and use in the square. Features you asked for in the Master Plan included an imaginative playground, water play, public toilets, the relocated cenotaph and a day-lit section of historic barrel storm water drain. Please pop in any time to the following drop-in sessions to find out more about the site, speak with Council staff and tell us your ideas. Drop-in sessions will be held at the former supermarket site, 27 London Street, Lyttelton: Saturday, 2 March 2013 from 10am - 2.00pm; and Tuesday, 5 March 2013 from 4.30pm - 7.00pm A feedback form and project information will also be available online at www.ccc.govt.nz/haveyoursay from 1 March 2013 to 18 March 2013.

Live at the Point This popular summer event comes to a close this weekend. So make the most of the last live performance for the season and head over to Diamond Harbour this Sunday from 1.00pm. Check out the posters toward the rear of the Lyttelton Review for more details.

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 canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

St John News As reported in the last edition of the 'Lyttelton Harbour Review' St John Lyttelton has received a very positive response to our series of five free first aid courses for our community with a very representative cross section of the harbour basin communities represented and a total of 49 First Aid Level One certificates presented. This has to be good news for the various communities represented. As a result of our certificate presentation evening held at the Ambulance Station on Monday 4 February we had three of the recent course attendees join with our volunteer ambulance team for training on the Thursday evening that involved a joint training exercise with the Lyttelton Volunteer Fire Service on board the large fishing vessel 'Irvinga' that is currently berthed in port awaiting refurbishment by its owners. We want to thank the owners, Independent Fisheries Limited, for the use of their ship for this very important ship familiarisation training. We are still looking to recruit volunteers from our community to help provide a more responsive and effective emergency ambulance first response capability for the harbour basin communities. We have had seven applications to become members of our volunteer team as a result of our recent courses and of course we would like to have more. If you are 18 years or older, are reasonably fit and healthy and have time to give back to your community through St John we are very keen to hear from you. If you are interested in joining or would like more information on St John and its activities in your community then please contact us through Pete Dawson on 021 334 381 or 03 318 0859 or via e-mail at pete@fishcon.net for volunteer membership application forms or more information. With March rapidly approaching it is time to be thinking about renewal of subscriptions for our St John Supporter scheme. Reminder notices for all of our current supporter scheme subscribers will be mailed out soon. We hope that all of our current supporters will continue to support us for the 2013-14 subscription year. The annual subscription to become a St John Supporter is $40.00 [inclusive GST] per individual or $55.00 [including GST] per dependent family resident in the same household. Membership of the scheme provides free emergency ambulance treatment and transport to a medical facility for each year subscriptions are maintained. The annual subscription for the supporter scheme is less than the current user part charge that St John must charge for a single ambulance medical emergency call out and provides cover anywhere in New Zealand. Further information on the St John Supporter Scheme can be found on our website at www.stjohn.org.nz. Take care and keep safe. Pete Dawson | St John Banks Peninsula 021 334 381 or 03 318 0859

Harbour Resilience Project Developing A Food Growing Social Enterprise

Nina Srot from the Harbour Resilience Project writes: Now the first lines of the story go like this: There is a lovely piece of land in the Whakaroupo harbour, waiting for some pairs of playful hands to mold it into a nourishing edible paradise. The land is there, waiting for the conversations to be had and for the relationship to begin. It is the land that used to nourish a part of our harbour, now sitting quietly and patiently waiting. Now this is the part where perhaps you step into the plot and continue this story. The backdrop of the story is the Living Springs area. The management of the Living Springs is interested to lend [at no cost] a part of the area to someone [a group] to develop it into a food growing social enterprise. This could be anything from seeds and seedling onwards. They are particularly interested in providing space for young growers that are passionate about their call, but struggle to find an affordable piece of land to start from. This area used to be a horticultural centre back in the 80' but is now just sitting there covered with grass. No particular vision of what should happen there has yet been formed, it is all open for discussion. Worth mentioning is also the fact that there are several interesting market venues right here in the Harbour that would love to see more local produce come in, for example the Harbour Co-op, Lyttelton Farmers Market and the Diamond Harbour farmers market. If you think this might be of interest to you or someone you know, please get back to me as soon as possible. I am aiming to get a group of interested people together in the next couple of weeks and than start conversations with Living Springs as to where this story goes.

Time Bank Update Current membership is 450 with an average total of about 100 trades taking place each month. October saw a successful “Spring Gardening Series” with workshops available in a range of gardening activities from hedgerow foraging to seed sowing. In November the Gruffalo party was held at Lyttelton West School. Kids from across Lyttelton enjoyed story telling from Librarians, Gruffalo activities and even Gruffalo themed food and drink. Organisation and costs for this were shared between the Time Bank and the school with timebankers contributing to the event’s creation. For the first time many of the Festival of Walking walks were eligible to be paid for in time credits; this offer was popular with time bankers, offering a great alternative way to spend their credits. Planning took place to hold the annual large Time Bank Christmas Share and Swap activity on the grassy – however, sadly the event had to be postponed due to southerly weather! The event had attracted time bankers and organisations to run about 20 different activities. Planning is now underway to recreate this event in early March.

LIFT Library Update The LIFT Library is expanding again! Just as an order I had made from Living Economies arrived, Jeremy Agar, representing CAFCA [Campaign Against Foreign Control of Aotearoa], brought me another large bag of new books. So I made a selection of the ones I thought would appeal to some of you. Like the Living Economies ones, and those contributed by locals, they are on long term loan. Here is some information on them – just taken from the blurbs and introductions. I wish I had time to read them all! The Body Hunters: Testing New Drugs on the World’s Poorest Patients 2006 Sonia Shah “Eye-opening account offers an inside look into how the pharmaceutical industry, aided and abetted by FDA policies, carries out ethically problematic research in developing countries.” Ruth Macklin, Professor of bioethics, Albert Einstein College of Medicine Effective Strategies in Confronting Transnational Corporations 2003 Abdul Aziz Choudry Five case studies of struggles of different sectors against TNCs in the Asia-Pacific region. All the studies ‘highlight the importance of mass education, information dissemination and community organising.’ Most of them also ‘point to the usefulness of bringing pressure to bear on TNC’ and government through media attention, particularly in their involvement of international media.’ No Left Turn: The Distortion of NZ’s History by Greed, Bigotry and Right-Wing Politics 2007 Chris Trotter ‘The way some histories tell it, Europeans came to New Zealand keen to establish a little Britain in the South Seas.’ Not so, says Trotter. Most 19th century immigrants wanted something better than the misery and oppression of the world they had left, and Trotter reveals just how close they and their descendants came to building a new one. Rescuing the New Zealand Economy: What Went Wrong and How we Can Fix It 2008 Bryan Gould This book looks beyond the recent, depressing past to a more optimistic vision for the future. Drawing on the experience of other Western democracies that have been far more economically successful than New Zealand, he outlines mainstream, well-tested ways for restoring productivity and controlling inflation without stifling economic growth. Rocks and Hard Places: The Globalization of Mining 2007 Roger Moody The world of international mining is changing rapidly. Mining corporations are encroaching on more and more green field sites in Africa, the Asia-Pacific and Latin America, to serve ever-expanding global industries. Moody shows that large-scale mining imposes a heavy toll on local communities, on their fragile economies and ways of life, as well as the environment. The book concludes with urgent proposals to check the role of multinationals in a sector that has always been at the core of resource exploitation. Seeds of Distrust: The Story of a GE Cover-Up 2002 Nicky Hager In November 2000 – in the middle of the Royal Commission on genetic engineering – the Government learned that a shipment of GE contaminated sweet corn seeds had been planted in three regions of New Zealand. Imposing strict secrecy, Prime Minister Helen Clark took control of the issue and said that the crops must be pulled out. Then the big business lobbying began. Helen Clark’s Government did a U-turn: the contaminated crops, including thousands of GE sweet corn plants, were allowed to spread their pollen and then be harvested for sale in New Zealand and overseas. The Government misled the Royal Commission members about the incident. It is a story about the anti-democratic influence of big business, political expediency, abuse of power, manipulation of the news media and misleading a Royal Commission. Above all, it is about a serious breach of trust by the very people who had been saying ‘trust us’ over genetic engineering in New Zealand. Today’s quote is from Sharon Beders’ book: Suiting Themselves: How Corporations Drive the Global Agenda: “Globalization is about making every country in the world conform to neo-conservative American prescriptions in macro-economic management, taxation principles, social policy, and the laws and practices governing employment while opening their markets to American investors” - John M. Legge. Both John Legge and Sharon Beder are Australians. Reminds you of the TPPA situation, doesn’t it.

Oops You can’t trust everything you find on the internet. Last week the Lyttelton Review advertised that Devilish Mary were playing at Godley Cafe [found on the mukuna.co.nz web site]. Transpires that this event was part of the SPRIG music events calendar held on the old Godley House site over the past few months. SPRIG are a local voluntary community group and have been the driving force behind the very successful Live at the Point and Sculpture on the Point events. Naturally SPRIG are dismayed that this error continues to appear on the mukuna.co.nz. So credit where credit is due: SPRIG are the event organisers and the old Godley House site is the location for these fabulous events.

CanCERN Recyle, ReUse, Relocate Project CanCERN’s Recycle, Re-use, Relocate Project is now underway. This means that if you are a community group or organisation you can access recycled materials from the Residential Red Zone through the simple process. The rules: 1. Items must be salvageable 2. Requests for items must be for the good of the community 3. Items must be used immediately as there are no storage facilities Contractors will not get: Paint, fencing, roofing or plants. At this early stage when we are relying on contractors, we need groups to realistic about the size of requests and to allow time for the materials to be sourced. If you are a community group or organisation and want to request items, please fill in the online form: www.cancern.org.nz → supporVng a community → R.R.R → ﬁll out the on-line form If you want to know more about our next steps or are interested in being part of a community salvage team; or if you can help with larger storage - land big enough for a football sized shed or an empty football sized shed, please contact brian@cancern.org.nz.

2013 Census – information for people in Canterbury The census scheduled for March 2011 was called off following the 22 February Christchurch earthquake. That means this year’s census on Tuesday, 5 March 2013 is more important than ever. Statistics New Zealand understands that your circumstances may have changed or be uncertain because of the earthquakes.

We want to make it as easy as possible for you to take part in the census.

0800 CENSUS (0800 236 787)

This leaflet provides answers to questions you may have about how to fill in your census forms, online or on paper, and where to go to for more information. Thank you for taking part in the 2013 Census.

www.census.govt.nz

Why does the census matter?

Blue individual form

The census is the official count of people in New Zealand and the places where they live. The information you provide in the 2013 Census will help us build a picture of what Canterbury looks like now and will be used to make important decisions for the rebuild of the region.

How should I answer if my address has been affected by the Canterbury earthquakes?

Do you have to do it? Yes. Everyone who is in New Zealand on census day must fill in a census form. Filling in census forms is required by law.

Filling in the forms Brown dwelling form Question 11: Rent paid by household How should I answer if my rent is being paid by my insurance company? The household does not pay rent if it is paid by your insurance company. Mark ‘no’ for question 11. Questions 14 and 15: Number of rooms

Question 5: Usual address

Give the address you are currently living at, unless you are temporarily living somewhere and will be moving back to your earthquakeaffected address (once your home has been repaired or rebuilt, for example). In that case, give that address you will be moving back to. Question 24: Home ownership What if I own a dwelling that I am not currently living in due to the Canterbury earthquakes? Please answer this question for the dwelling at the address you gave in question 5 (your usual address), even if you own another dwelling that you are not currently living in. Questions 30 and 31: Income Should I include payments I have received as a result of the Canterbury earthquakes? •

Do not count lump sum insurance or EQC payments, but do include any interest you have earned on those payments in the last 12 months.

•

Do not count one-off financial assistance payments (such as Red Cross payments).

•

Include any regular income protection insurance payments under ‘other sources of income’.

Should I count rooms that are unusable due to earthquake damage? If the unusable rooms will be repaired, count them towards your total number of rooms. If any of these rooms are bedrooms, please also include them in your bedrooms count. If the unusable rooms will not be repaired, or you don’t know whether they will be repaired, don’t count them.
