Lyttelton Toy Library BIGGER,

BRIGHTER,

It has been a hard and dusty road for the toy library since the Plunket rooms were lost to natures grumbles. Energies of the faithful volunteers behind the scenes expended keeping it hanging on in there in a few less than ideal temporary locations. It is not a quick job moving all the toys and finding locations. We are very excited about our new location in the recreation centre. Our squash court is light bright and big enough. With the contents of the old sheds reunited with the selection kept at the garages the 62m2 of floor space is filled and there are $900 of new toys in boxes ready to be labelled up. After being in garages and sheds the toys inevitably got a bit dirtier than they should and efforts have been put in with a summer clean. A lot easier now with a water supply close by! Toy libraries are a fabulous facility accommodating the changing preferences of our children without the tedium of trawling trademe and arranging pick ups or the expense of going to the shops (Garage Sale excluded of course!) They embrace the notion of reduce and reuse as well as supporting development through play.

CLEANER

The basics: • We have toys suitable for children from birth to around 6yrs. Everything from puzzles and role play to ride ons, construction and transport to dolls. • We are open fortnightly, Saturday mornings, 10am - 12noon. Dates 20/2, 5/3, 19/3, 2/4, 16/4, 30/4, 14/5, 28/5, 11/6, 25/6. • It is only $42 to join per year. Bring cash and some I.D. with you when you come down and you can take toys there and then I am a new member and soon came to value the ability to quickly add new toys into my toddlers mix and put my hand up to help behind the scenes. To see membership numbers, get back to pre quake levels would be fantastic and needed to secure our future here. If you have been meaning to make the time to come and have a look and join please do it now. Want to help? Support us with your skills, no children required. Some bolstering for the committee would be beneficial. Finance, membership, marketing toy management roles being undertaken by just a couple at the moment. Or if you think you could volunteer with some general duties from time to time let me know. Toy amnesty: Got a toy around from a while ago, maybe lost some pieces, damaged it. No questions asked returns on anything returned before Easter. If you prefer we will have a koha box at the toy library too. Just a thought: Would you like to sponsor a membership? Would you like to nominate a worthy recipient? If you have any feedback, suggestions, ideas, I’d welcome them.

Bay Harbour Toastmasters for Confident Communication Have you ever sat in a meeting and wanted to speak up and share your views but lacked the confidence to do so? Maybe you have been asked to speak to a group and made an excuse or else just mumbled together a few words and sat down again as quick as you could. Or maybe you know you are terrified of speaking in public, but you just avoid every situation where you have to. If that sounds like you, then Toastmasters is the answer. We now have a Toastmasters club running here in the Bay and we would love you to come along and see how Toastmasters can make a difference for you. Toastmasters is communication and leadership training in a supportive and fun environment. It is a “learn by doing” model that is a fantastic, proven method of learning. Good public speaking is achieved by constant practise and that’s what a Toastmasters Club will give you. You have opportunities to chair a meeting, to deliver prepared 5 minute speeches in topics of your choice and also to deliver 2 minute impromptu speeches on provided topics. This is all undertaken with the support and encouragement of the other members and with the excellent speech manuals that Toastmasters provide. There are many benefits in belonging to Toastmasters. People normally join to improve their public speaking skills, however there are many other spinoffs from this. Many people find that their one on one communication improves, along with their listening skills. That alone can make a difference in their lives. Probably though, the main thing that everyone gets from belonging to Toastmasters is an increase in confidence. As your confidence increases, you are more able to reach your potential, and all sorts of doors can open for you as a result. Our members in Bay Harbour Toastmasters love the club and are all progressing rapidly. One had said that she felt she had “finally found her voice.” Another member, Jan Eveleens made a submission to the Lyttelton Port Recovery Plan. He spoke confidently to his submission and was able to achieve this without referring to his notes. He would never have contemplated doing that before his Toastmasters training. We have a mix of new members and experienced Toastmasters in the club. In fact, we are very lucky to have 2 extremely experienced

Toastmasters, Celina & David Templeman who live locally in Teddington. David has been on the executive team of Toastmasters NZ for the last 2 years, and in May this year will become the head (District Director) of Toastmasters NZ. He will be in charge of more than 270 clubs throughout NZ, each with approximately 20 members and he will still be attending our meetings here at the Bay and supporting and training our local members. It is fantastic to have someone of his calibre in our club. So if you struggle with speaking in public and want to overcome that fear once and for all, now is the time to tackle it. Facing your fear and getting yourself out of your comfort zone can be freaky, but the benefits well outweigh any initial nervousness. As you progress in Toastmasters, you will find improvement in your confidence along with better communication and leadership skills. You will meet new friends and have some fun along the way. What’s not to like? Come along to one of our meetings and give it a try. We meet every 2nd and 4th Wednesday at 7.30pm at St Andrews Church. We would love to see you there. Check out the Toastmasters website to find out more: www.toastmasters.org.nz or phone Jann on 021 2631040.

Oxford Street Art Open

Oxford Street Art is now open and the first exhibition runs until 28th February. To celebrate the occasion gallery owners Madhu and Tim Rees had an opening night party. It was a great success and over 50 people enjoyed classic champagne cocktails, bucks fizz and sushi...and of course stunning works from artists Frankie Bakker and Michelle Clarke. “Since opening there has been a steady flow of visitors” said Madhu. The gallery is open from Wednesday to Sunday. Pop in for the late night opening on Friday - up to 7.00pm.

The French Connection Exhibiton Nicky De Lautour and Robyn Le Couteur feature at this month’s exhibition at the Lytel Gallery. Nicky’s family were original settlers on the Peninsula and for her entire life she has lived either on or close to the Peninsula. She has a strong connection to the land and sea around here. “My painting has been an important part of my life, having focused on various subjects over the years. At this time, maximising the use of colour, my paintings are predominantly inspired by issues of power, conflict, freedom, beauty and wonder” Robyn lives in Lyttelton. She started painting after the earthquakes. “I have found a great sense of enjoyment and contentment whilst painting. I love our New Zealand native birds especially their song and beauty captivates me. For as long as I can remember I have always wanted to fly like a bird”

Her painting s have been inspired from the importance of preserving our exquisite birds. She respects and enjoys them so likes to capture the various elements of what the birds give so freely to us. “I enjoyed discovering the best way for me to paint was straight from the brush onto canvass, no sketching, no hesitation” This year she intends to branch out into new subject matter.

LIFT Library Newsletter

LIFT Library is still growing! I’ve expanded the shelving area in my living-room, so it will be easier for you to find what you want. Do phone/email to make an appointment to come and have a look. In the meantime, I shall bring to this Saturday’s Market some of the new books, generously contributed by David Willocks. The theme is Self-sufficiency, as many of these help us to be more independent, not relying on big businesses and food miles for our daily needs. Some are quite old, and may remind you of life in earlier days! I haven’t had time to read them yet, so the notes are brief.

NEW STOCKS

Home brewing and winemaking for New Zealanders Chris Reading The author is an experienced producer of both wines and beers, and has run courses on winemaking for beginners for WEA. So the information is simply and clearly expressed, including common problems, and recipes.

Hydroponic guide to

gardening: a practical growing plants without soil

Lon Dalton, Rob Smith

The NZ authors have produced a well-explained and illustrated book, suitable for both the home gardener and one who wants to develop a commercial enterprise. (‘Hydroponics’ means ‘working with water’)

Candlemaking formulas and designs

Natural healing with cider vinegar

Dutch Deliveries Ltd

Margot Hellmiss

This is a NZ production, in spite of the name of the supplier. It’s a large booklet with information, designs and paper plans, so a real DIY guide. It will be kept in a large envelope so the loose pattern sheets don’t get lost.

This book originated in Germany, and was translated for publication in the USA. It details the history of vinegar, the special qualities of apple cider vinegar, its uses as a remedy, for hygiene, and in the kitchen. Each page has a relevant health tip. For example: ‘Pay special attention to quality when shopping for naturally cloudy apple cider vinegar for cooking purposes. This is produced from whole, completely ripe apples and is only available in health food stores. Few supermarkets offer natural apple cider vinegar.’ (I get my cloudy one at the Harbour Coop!)

Farming in a flowerpot: how to grow vegetables and fruits in small containers Alice Skelsey

This is American, written with residents in apartment buildings in mind, but the information is practical and useful in any situation. It is in two sections: Seven Steps to Farming in a Flowerpot – containers, soils, seeds, light, diet, water, and care. The second section is a long list of fruits and vegetables with detailed advice on growing them in containers.

The healing power of herbs Vaughan Bullivant (Australian)

Shop Locally, It's A Growing Concept Lyttelton's Harbour Co-op – a community owned organic and wholefoods grocery store has reached 200 household memberships and counting. Lyttelton's Harbour Co-op has achieved another milestone, reaching 200 household memberships. This is a representation of a community's growing commitment to eat healthy and shop their values Values that include supporting the local economy, organic growers, producers, and the environment. To celebrate this achievement, the Co-op is giving away a flax weaved kete filled with goodies from the Co-op to the 199th and 200th member-owners. Congratulations to Sonja Nissen and Caro Allisow! The small Lyttelton organic grocer, part of Piko Wholefoods was bought by its customers to keep the store running for the community in the wake of the devastating 2011 earthquakes. As a food-co-op, the Harbour Co-op is like any other grocery store – anyone can shop there - but it is equally owned by the people who shop there – an economic democracy of sorts. Member-owners literally vote with their fork through the purchase of local, organic and Fair Trade products. And because the Co-op is owned by the people who shop there, they can help shape the future direction of the business. At their heart, community-owned food co-op's are people working together for better food, stronger communities and a healthier world. Though “local” has popped up in conventional grocery stores in recent years, retail food co-ops are leaps and bounds ahead of the pack. A recent USbased study Healthy Foods Healthy Communities: The Social and Economic Impacts of Food Co-ops, quantifies the impact local food co-ops have compared to conventional grocery stores. Where conventional grocers work with an average of 65 local farmers and food producers, food co-ops work with an average of 157. Likewise, locally sourced products make up an average of 20 percent of co-op sales in the US compared to 6 percent at conventional stores. Years after creating the market for organic foods, co-ops are still the place to find them with organics making up 48 percent of grocery sales in food co-ops, compared to just 2 percent in conventional grocers. While there are no NZ-based studies as yet, these figures are a strong indicator for the positive impact that local food co-ops can have here. Because food co-op's are rooted in principles like community, voluntary and open membership, economic participation and cooperation, they inherently serve and benefit the communities where they are located. For example, the US study found that for every dollar spent at a food co-op, $0.38 is reinvested in the local economy compared to $0.24 at conventional grocers. Also, the economic impact that a grocery store has on its local economy is greater than just the sum of its local spending, because a portion of money spent locally recirculates. For example, food co-ops purchase from local farmers who, in turn, buy supplies from local

sources, hire local technicians to repair equipment, and purchase goods and services from local retailers. To some extent, conventional grocers do too, but the gap is still significant. Surprisingly, while consumer owned food co-op's are expanding and thriving overseas, New Zealand has some catching up to do. There are currently very few consumer food co-ops in NZ. However, the establishment of Lyttelton's Harbour Co-op has inspired several other local Co-op projects around the country. The Nelson Organic Co-op is currently in the process of purchasing Nelson's Organic Green Grocer and turning it into a community owned co-operative based on the Harbour Coop's successful model. Membership to the Harbour Co-op is a one-off $365 per household, and members have discounts on all items as well as additional monthly member specials, savings on workshops, and the opportunity to participate in Co-op governance. “Our goal was to reach 200 members by the end of 2015, which we reached in late December.” says Shop Manager Lillee Star. The growing membership shows that more people are seeing the benefits of eating organic and supporting local. “The Co-op is a statement about what we want as a community. Lyttelton is about goodquality food and money going back into the area” says Margaret Jefferies, Co-op member and Chairwoman of Project Lyttelton, an organization responsible for local community development projects such as the highly successful Lyttelton Farmer's Market and the Lyttelton Timebank. “The vision is to keep growing the Harbour Co-op with new members. This will allow us to create a legacy of enduring value within our local community.” says membership coordinator Judith Koehler. Future ideas include a raw food cafe and juice bar, garden center, yoga studio and space for various holistic practitioners. An entire wellness center if you like. Love the co-op idea? Become a member! Visit www.harbourcoop.co.nz or pick up a brochure in-store. For those who want to be a bit more hands-on, there are many opportunities to volunteer at the Co-op. Indeed, being a cooperative, community involvement is an integral part of operations. “Our volunteers make a huge difference in the running of the shop” says founding member Brian Rick, “with jobs ranging from re-filling bulk bins, to stocking shelves, to packing down bulk items into smaller bags for sale, to cleaning and beautifying the shop; the list keeps growing as we get more eager souls to offer their energy and interest.” And to say thank you to volunteers the Co-op offers a 15% discount on a single grocery shop for every two hours you give to the Co-op. The Harbour Co-op is an organic and wholefoods grocery store, offering a full range of organic and natural food and beverages, supplements, natural remedies, body care and household products. It is a communityowned co-operative which means that everyone is welcome to shop there, membership is open and the business is equally owned by its members. The Harbour Co-op is committed to providing nourishing and socially responsible food and goods, practicing sustainable business operations, providing an ethical and fun workplace and giving back to its community.

Lyttelton Tunnel Bylaw changes Have your say

JANUARY 2016

HAVE YOUR SAY ON THE LYTTELTON TUNNEL BYLAW CHANGES The Lyttelton Tunnel Bylaw covers the tunnel’s safety rules and gives the tunnel control officers the authority they need to manage the tunnel and ensure safety for all users. The current bylaw needs to be updated to ensure it meets current needs and matches changes in other transport legislation. The proposed changes to the tunnel bylaw are: » A clearer policy on vehicles transporting loose material (eg sand, soil or fertiliser). These loads must be covered both before and after load delivery to reduce dust and dirt in the tunnel. » Changing the length of road covered by the bylaw on either side of the tunnel. » A clearer policy on access through the tunnel for dangerous goods and overdimension vehicles. » Updating legislation references and clarifying how the bylaw relates to other legislation. If you would like to find out more about these changes and provide feedback please visit www.nzta.govt.nz/projects/lyttelton-tunnel. An online feedback form will be available until the close of the consultation period (22 February 2016).

When working at the retaining wall at Webb Lane there will be less of an impact because of the width of the road. Occasionally the road will be closed during working hours when we use our larger machinary such as drill rigs that take up more of the road space. This is most likely going to be more of an impact in the months of February and March. In such cases the road will be reopened outside of working hours. We will leave an access restriction in your letterbox the night before this happens to give you time to move your car.

What we are doing: Fulton Hogan is repairing the earthquake damaged wastewater network in Lyttelton. There are three segments of pipe on Pages Road that need to be repaired. Due to the narrow width of the road and the requirement to dig a trench to complete these repairs, Pages Road will need to be closed for around three days. Please park your car outside of the worksite if you need to use it between 7.30am Wednesday 17 February and 6pm Friday 19 February. We will attempt to make vehicle access available, if safely possible, outside of working hours. If parking outside the worksite, please lock your car and ensure you have left no valuables in plain sight. We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience during these essential earthquake repairs.
