RADIO AND TV star<br />

Simon Barnett’s beloved wife<br />

Jodi has died.<br />

She passed away<br />

peacefully at the couple’s<br />

home early on Monday<br />

– with the devastated<br />

broadcaster and family at<br />

her side – following a fiveand-a-half-year<br />

battle with<br />

brain cancer.<br />

“We are absolutely<br />

heartbroken that our<br />

beautiful wife and mother,<br />

Jodi, passed away in the<br />

family said in a statement<br />

“Words cannot adequately<br />

convey how deeply loved she<br />

was by us, and all who knew<br />

her.”<br />

The 61-year-old wife,<br />

mother and grandmother<br />

– she and Barnett had<br />

been married 32 years and<br />

have four daughters and<br />

three grandchildren – had<br />

undergone four brain<br />

surgeries, chemotherapy<br />

since April 2018, when she<br />

• By Sasha Watson<br />

A CROWD of up to 10,000 is<br />

expected to celebrate the biennial<br />

Akaroa French Festival over the<br />

weekend.<br />

“The festival has seen many postponements<br />

since 2019, but this year<br />

it will finally return with what looks<br />

like fantastic weather,” said festival<br />

spokesperson Luke Dawkins.<br />

“An extra day was added to the<br />

celebrations to allow for more options<br />

and prevent festival enjoyers from<br />

missing out on anything.”<br />

The festival will open with a powhiri<br />

at 5pm on Friday, followed by a<br />

night market.<br />

Saturday will see reenactments of<br />

the first French settlers arriving in<br />

1940, a parade and day market, and<br />

variety show Le Cabaret.<br />

Sunday offers the La Brocante vintage<br />

fair, a best-dressed fancy french<br />

pooch parade (right) and, Le Cirque<br />

Du Croissant, a show set to entertain<br />

children of all ages.<br />

Said Dawkins: “We are very excited<br />

Jetty opening makes a splash<br />

DIVE RIGHT IN: The Canterbury Open Water Swimming Association made the winning $1100 bid to be<br />

the first jumpers off the new Governors <strong>Bay</strong> jetty.<br />

on restoring the 300m-long<br />

walkway since 2015.<br />

by the February 22, 2011<br />

earthquake, officially reopened<br />

‘I just want you forever and ever’<br />

• From page 1<br />

Barnett’s Newstalk ZB<br />

colleague, breakfast host Mike<br />

Hosking, choked back tears as he<br />

relayed the news to his listeners<br />

yesterday morning.<br />

“Obviously for us, it’s a very<br />

sad day. All our love and all our<br />

thoughts and all our prayers go<br />

to Simon and his family.”<br />

In an interview with the NZ<br />

Herald published at the weekend,<br />

Barnett described Jodi as his<br />

“perfect soulmate” and “greatest<br />

cheerleader” who had defied<br />

odds all the way.<br />

But he also revealed doctors<br />

had given Jodi just weeks to live:<br />

“Things are grim now.”<br />

Barnett said the best moments<br />

of his life were when he was with<br />

Jodi and their four daughters,<br />

Samantha, Sophie, Bella and<br />

Lily, who are all now in their 20s.<br />

Jodi, he said, was the very<br />

embodiment of “kindness and<br />

selflessness”.<br />

Revealing how they met<br />

“accidentally” on the Mt Hutt<br />

skifield in 1988 – when the then<br />

What Now TV host spotted her<br />

having trouble on one of the lifts<br />

– Barnett said he had never been<br />

loved “like the way she loves<br />

me”.<br />

“Her whole mission in life was<br />

to be the best mum she could be<br />

and the best wife that she could<br />

be,” Barnett said.<br />

“And if you look at her life – by<br />

any measure of success – she<br />

completely exceeded that.”<br />

Barnett, the host of Newstalk<br />

ZB’s Afternoons show, said his<br />

faith had led him to believe Jodi<br />

would “get through this – and<br />

she did every time”.<br />

“But of course, more recently,<br />

I’ve realised that we are really in<br />

a battle.”<br />

He said his wife had not once<br />

cried about her predicament.<br />

“She’s not the toughest woman<br />

I know, I don’t qualify that. She’s<br />

the toughest person I know.<br />

“I’ve cried bucket loads.<br />

When I’m showering her and<br />

massaging her legs I just cry.<br />

“I’m holding her legs and<br />

her feet and just looking at this<br />

girl, just my beautiful wife, and<br />

saying, ‘I just want you forever<br />

and ever’.”<br />

Barnett added that he was at<br />

his wife’s side constantly.<br />

“I just don’t want my wife to<br />

ever feel a moment where I’m not<br />

there. So all through the night, I<br />

just touch her hand and say I’m<br />

here.”<br />

After Jodi developed a lifethreatening<br />

brain bleed soon<br />

after her first operation in 2018,<br />

one of the couple’s daughters,<br />

Sophie, turned to Barnett in<br />

hospital.<br />

“She said, ‘Dad, I just don’t<br />

want to live in a world without<br />

Mum’,” a tearful Barnett said.<br />

“And that’s so what I felt, I<br />

just didn’t want to live and don’t<br />

want to live in a world without<br />

Mum.”<br />

Māori history, climate<br />

change key concerns<br />

WARM SMILES: Jodi and Simon Barnett at their daughter<br />

Samantha’s wedding in 2017, before Jodi was diagnosed<br />

with brain cancer.<br />

• From page 5<br />

Barnett said his life would<br />

never be the same.<br />

“I sound like I am heroworshipping<br />

her, but the fact is,<br />

she is my hero.<br />

“I’ve said to her multiple times<br />

in the past five years and even<br />

though she can’t respond, ‘I’m<br />

simply in awe of you’.”<br />

Barnett said his bond with Jodi<br />

had only strengthened during her<br />

illness.<br />

“As if it were possible, I love<br />

her more deeply now than I ever<br />

have at any time in our marriage.<br />

I mean, so many things have<br />

changed, but I just love her now<br />

more deeply, more intently than I<br />

ever have at any point in 32 years.<br />

“So many people have said<br />

you’ve just got a genuine love<br />

story.<br />

“Unfortunately, it’s just got such<br />

a tragic end and I never saw it. I<br />

just never saw this.<br />

“But as the Bible says, love<br />

never gives up, love never loses<br />

faith, love is always hopeful,<br />

and endures through every<br />

circumstance.”<br />

Details of Jodi’s service will be<br />

shared in the coming days, the<br />

PROTECTING Māori history<br />

and dealing with adverse<br />

weather events are key points<br />

to emerge from community<br />

consultation for the Te Pataka<br />

o Rakaihautū Banks Peninsula<br />

Destination Management Plan.<br />

The plan has entered a final<br />

focused review before it is<br />

completed in November.<br />

Key points from community<br />

consultation include finding<br />

better mechanisms to<br />

manage cruise ships, better<br />

infrastructure to deal with<br />

adverse weather events, and<br />

protecting the region’s Māori<br />

history and community<br />

character with slower, more<br />

engaged tourism.<br />

In May, initial feedback on the<br />

draft plan was shared and since<br />

then further submissions have<br />

been received.<br />

Considerations include<br />

continued mana whenua<br />

consultation, the community<br />

hui on cruise ships held in<br />

August, and peer reviewing of<br />

the plan by an industry expert.<br />

The plan is being developed<br />

with specific areas of<br />

community focus, such as<br />

encouraging longer stays<br />

for visitors, reducing the<br />

environmental and social<br />

impact of tourism, emphasising<br />

the unique culture and<br />

natural environment of the<br />

area, and giving attention to<br />

infrastructure and facilities.<br />

Sisters Under the Rising Sun<br />

by Heather Morris<br />

Amid the turmoil of World War II, Norah Chambers, an English musician living<br />

in Malaya, sends her eight-year-old daughter Sally away on a ship bound for<br />

Australia, desperate to keep her safe from invading Japanese forces. Two<br />

months later, Norah has fled to Singapore. As has Australian nurse Nesta<br />

James. Sisters in arms, Norah and Nesta fight side by side. Drawing upon<br />

their real-life experiences, Heather Morris chronicles the powerful bonds<br />

of sisterhood among the 500 Australian, English, Dutch and New Zealand<br />

women who struggled and survived together for nearly four years. The result<br />

of Heather’s passionate commitment to ensuring that the bravery of these<br />

nurses, mothers and daughters is recognised, Sisters under the Rising Sun<br />

has all the elements loved by her millions of readers: strong women, courage<br />

against the odds and the power of friendship and community.<br />

Testament<br />

by Wilbur Smith, Mark Chadbourn<br />

An epic new novel of Ancient Egypt, from the Master of Historical Adventure,<br />

Wilbur Smith. IN THE RUINS OF BATTLE A HERO MUST RISE FOR THE FUTURE<br />

OF EGYPT. Years of Hyksos rule have seen the ruin and suffering of a oncemighty<br />

Egypt. Though Pharaoh is now restored to his rightful throne, his power<br />

is fragile as some seek to take advantage of the ensuing chaos following the<br />

overthrowing of the Hyksos. Desperate to unite the two divided kingdoms of<br />

Egypt under Pharaoh’s rule, the great mage Taita sends his protege, Piay, to<br />

discover the answer to a millennia-old riddle which has the power to secure<br />

the fate of Egypt forever. But in the chaos of war, a dark evil has thrived. With<br />

the fate of Egypt at stake, Piay races across the desert chasing the clues from<br />

the riddle. Can he prevent their beloved land falling into the hands of those<br />

who would see its ruin?<br />

Synchro Dolphins take silver<br />

THE PROVINCE’S future in<br />

synchronised swimming looks<br />

to be in good hands, following<br />

Canterbury Dolphins’ success at<br />

last week’s Artistic Swimming<br />

Nationals in Auckland.<br />

The Canterbury Dolphins, a<br />

team of five swimmers, took second<br />

place in the Dolphin Combo<br />

under 16s competition, against<br />

six other teams from across the<br />

country.<br />

The talented young synchro<br />

swimmers showcased their<br />

abilities during a three-minute<br />

routine set to a medley of Mission<br />

Impossible, James Bond,<br />

and Pink Panther tunes.<br />

All but two of the girls joined<br />

the team in recent months.<br />

Twelve-year-old Georgie Halliwell<br />

was introduced to the sport<br />

earlier this year by her school<br />

friend Emily Betteridge, 12. Emily<br />

has been a part of Canterbury<br />

Artistic Swimming for two<br />

years, alongside teammate Alex<br />

Macfarlane, 12.<br />

“It’s like underwater gymnastics,”<br />

said Emily about the sport.<br />

“And you’re doing it in perfect<br />

sync with the rest of the team –<br />

it’s challenging! We count, and<br />

we listen to the music.”<br />

Georgie shared her excitement<br />

about participating in the event.<br />

“Synchronised swimming is a<br />

combination of all my favourite<br />

things, with swimming, music,<br />

and creating routines all being<br />

important,” she said.<br />

“It’s really fun being part of a<br />

team, and we train hard.”<br />

The team’s dedication is evident<br />

in their rigorous training<br />

regimen, which consisted of five<br />

hours each week.<br />

Coach Jo Biddle expressed her<br />

pride in the girls’ dedication and<br />

focus.<br />

“I’m super proud of these girls<br />

and how they’ve truly committed<br />

themselves to achieve these<br />

remarkable results,” she said.<br />

“They’ve come a long way<br />

and have truly earned this<br />

recognition.”<br />

TREASURES FROM THE PAST<br />

‘Whalers retreat’: Waitata Little<br />

AT THE exposed mouth of<br />

Whakaraupō Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong><br />

lies a small bay carved into the<br />

steep cliffs below the southern<br />

headland of Te Piaka Adderley<br />

Head (Charles Adderley was<br />

an MP and prominent<br />

member of the Canterbury<br />

Association).<br />

Piaka refers to the edible root<br />

or bulb of raupō (bulrush) and<br />

therefore connects to the greater<br />

harbour’s name of Whakaraupō<br />

(Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong>). Known to<br />

Māori as Waitata, the sheltered<br />

bay was utilised by residents<br />

of Ngāi Tahu’s Puāri pā at<br />

Koukourārata Port Levy for<br />

gathering kaimoana.<br />

The bay’s first European name,<br />

Whalers Retreat, poetically<br />

evoked the earliest European<br />

activities in the region.<br />

Whaling had begun in<br />

Aotearoa New Zealand’s waters<br />

in the early 1790s with vessels<br />

crewed by tough men primarily<br />

from Britain, North America,<br />

Australia and France, many of<br />

whom were ex-convicts – hard<br />

men for certain.<br />

Their target for the lucrative<br />

blubber and baleen was the<br />

Southern right whale (Eubalaena<br />

glacialis australis), humpback,<br />

and sperm whales. All of these<br />

migrated along New Zealand’s<br />

long coastline to and from<br />

feeding grounds in the wild<br />

southern oceans to warmer<br />

breeding grounds.<br />

The right whale was so named<br />

as it was the ‘right’ whale to<br />

target, being slower and more<br />

passive than other species and<br />

because mothers with calves<br />

would not desert their young;<br />

they were slaughtered first to<br />

ensure the capture of the<br />

Men in small<br />

boats fighting<br />

frantic mother.<br />

Whaling ships Lucy-Ann and<br />

Joseph Weller were probably the<br />

first to visit the bay in 1835. In<br />

1836, Captain Hempleman’s brig<br />

Bee spent about eight months<br />

taking refuge in the relatively<br />

sheltered waters of the bay.<br />

The crew used the beach for<br />

the odorous and often dangerous<br />

process of scarving and flensing<br />

the carcasses (when not using<br />

a shore station, these activities<br />

would take place with the whale<br />

hung by its tail alongside the<br />

ship).<br />

The blubber was then rendered<br />

to its valuable oily essence in<br />

trypots. Bone was sometimes<br />

buried in order to rot away the<br />

remaining flesh and huge tentlike<br />

piles of whalebones were left<br />

bleaching in the sun.<br />

The headland was a prime<br />

vantage point to sight the telltale<br />

spouts of migrating cetaceans<br />

and to convey messages between<br />

shore, ship and whaleboat. At<br />

one time, as many as 14 whaling<br />

ships were working the waters of<br />

Pegasus <strong>Bay</strong> from the cove.<br />

In July 1836, Captain Rhodes<br />

of the Australian abandoned<br />

17 crew ashore for mutiny, a<br />

common solution to discipline<br />

problems aboard ship. There had<br />

been numerous troubles on board<br />

until the final insubordination –<br />

the whalers had refused to row<br />

their longboat with whale in tow<br />

to shore from a mere 40km out<br />

at sea!<br />

A number of French ships,<br />

including the Asia, also used<br />

the bay – both officers and crew<br />

interacted and traded with local<br />

Māori from Koukourārata Port<br />

Levy, who set up temporary<br />

camps on the beach.<br />

Lieutenant Joseph Fournier of<br />

the corvette Heroine drew the<br />

first charts of the waters, while<br />

Captain Jean Langlois of the<br />

Cachelot attempted to purchase<br />

land from tangata whenua.<br />

A number of mariners and<br />

very likely some Māori too were<br />

buried in a small cemetery,<br />

having fallen to the rigours of the<br />

perilous industry.<br />

Later, John Ames operated a<br />

shore whaling station through<br />

1844-5, despite the industry’s<br />

focus having moved to more<br />

profitable waters as right whale<br />

numbers became decimated.<br />

Port Cooper<br />

Before the earthquakes<br />

Whale vertebra. Te Ūaka The Lyttelton Museum ref.816.1<br />

https://www.teuaka.org.nz/online-collection/532770<br />

According to the journal of<br />

Asia’s surgeon Dr Felix Maynard,<br />

trypots, boilers, furnaces and all<br />

manner of gear were thrown out<br />

into the depths of the bay’s waters<br />

when the Asia departed for good,<br />

leaving little evidence but whale<br />

bone of the gruesome use of the<br />

cove.<br />

By the 1840s, Whalers Retreat<br />

was widely referred to by the<br />

English name that it is known today:<br />

Little Port Cooper – a ‘little<br />

sibling’ to the larger Port Cooper<br />

(which became Port Lyttelton in<br />

1857) in which it lies.<br />

The name was bestowed by<br />

Captain William Wiseman of the<br />

brig Elizabeth in honour of his<br />

employer Daniel Cooper.<br />

Cooper, originally from Lancashire,<br />

was a former convict<br />

transported to the Australian<br />

penal colony for life, who became<br />

a wealthy and successful sealer,<br />

trader and ship merchant in<br />

Sydney. His partner and fellow<br />

ex-convict, Solomon Levey,<br />

(transported for the theft of 90<br />

pounds of tea and a chest), also<br />

left his mark on history in the<br />

name of neighbouring Port Levy,<br />

albeit without the second ‘e’ in<br />

his surname.<br />

In the lead-up to its<br />

150th anniversary<br />

celebration over Labour<br />

weekend, the Lyttelton<br />

Volunteer Fire Brigade<br />

looks back at its past in a<br />

regular column<br />

THIS PEACEFUL photo of<br />

the Lyttelton Fire Station and<br />

both fire appliances was taken<br />

in January 2011. A month later,<br />

everything changed.<br />

The 2010/2011 earthquake<br />

period was undoubtedly the<br />

most intense in the brigade’s<br />

stellar history, 150 years of<br />

which will be celebrated in two<br />

weeks’ time.<br />

The two fire trucks are still in<br />

use 12 years later, but nothing<br />

else is the same.<br />

For weeks after February 22,<br />

2011, the fire station became the<br />

hub of the community.<br />

The fire communications<br />

centre couldn’t understand out<br />

why so few calls for assistance<br />

were coming from Lyttelton.<br />

Local residents just turned up<br />

at the station, where a friendly<br />

face and a large not-very-hightech<br />

whiteboard were ready<br />

to organise any help that was<br />

required.<br />

Six years later, almost to the<br />

day in 2017, the brigade moved<br />

into their now very-high-tech<br />

new fire station.<br />

READY: Lyttelton Fire Station’s two appliances in January<br />

2011. Both are still in use today.<br />

That’s where, on Friday,<br />

<strong>October</strong> 20, a meet and greet<br />

social evening will kick-start the<br />

150th celebrations, followed on<br />

Saturday by a fascinating display<br />

of old and new fire appliances,<br />

and the formal dinner in a<br />

grand marquee in the station car<br />

park.<br />

While the earthquakes<br />

provided the Lyttelton Volunteer<br />

Fire Brigade with some of its<br />

proudest moments, nothing<br />

beats 150 years of continuous<br />

service.<br />

Registrations for the 150th<br />

anniversary celebrations<br />

of the Lyttelton Volunteer<br />

Fire Brigade are open<br />

now. If you’re a past<br />

brigade member, know<br />

someone who is, or just<br />

want to celebrate the<br />

occasion with them,<br />

please email LVFB150th@<br />

details and you’ll be sent<br />

Kōrero mai, let’s talk about our<br />

Safer speed plan<br />

Way safer for everyone<br />

We’re planning to change speed limits in<br />

Governors <strong>Bay</strong>, Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> settlements<br />

and around Koukourarata Marae.<br />

Lower speeds can save lives and prevent serious injury.<br />

Reducing our speed makes a major difference in a crash.<br />

People make mistakes on our roads, and those mistakes<br />

shouldn’t cost our neighbours, whānau or pets their lives.<br />

Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency have changed the way<br />

speed limits are set. This gives us an opportunity to plan an<br />

area-wide approach for speed changes.<br />

We’re asking for feedback on our 10-year vision and principles<br />

for safe speeds across Christchurch and Banks Peninsula, as<br />

well as our first three years of implementation.<br />

The<br />

YUMMI<br />

study.<br />

The role of cow, goat or sheep milk in<br />

the nutrition and health of older women.<br />

Milk provides important nutrients that help older people to maintain<br />

muscle and bone health, and low milk intake is often associated with<br />

poor nutrition in older adults.<br />

We are looking for female volunteers aged 60 to 80 years to participate<br />

in the YUMMI study, a 12-week research study investigating the health<br />

effects of consuming different types milk – cow, goat, or sheep.<br />

We will provide you with cow, goat or sheep milk powder to drink<br />

twice a day for 12-weeks, or you will be asked to eat your normal diet<br />

(control group). The time commitment for the study will be about 11<br />

hours and you will attend five clinic visits. You will receive up to $220 in<br />

supermarket vouchers in recognition of the actual or reasonable costs<br />

involved with participating in this study (e.g. parking and/or travel costs).<br />

If you are a woman aged 60 to 80 years and can drink milk, we would<br />

love to hear from you.<br />
