Open day to mark 1<strong>25</strong> yrs<br />
SUMNER Lifeboat/<br />
Coastguard Sumner, one of<br />
New Zealand’s oldest search<br />
and rescue institutions, is<br />
celebrating 1<strong>25</strong> years since its<br />
first dedicated lifeboat made its<br />
first rescue.<br />
The volunteer-run<br />
organisation, dating back to<br />
the 1870s, covers more than<br />
4500km 2 of coastal waters,<br />
from Port Gibson to Birdlings<br />
Flat, and operates three lifesaving<br />
vessels Hamilton Jet<br />
Rescue, Urquhart Trust rescue,<br />
and Blue Arrow Rescue.<br />
Said a Coastguard<br />
spokesperson: “On any given<br />
day, volunteers could respond<br />
to an incident on the bar,<br />
near the cliffs or amongst the<br />
heavy waves on the beach – all<br />
scenarios that require highly<br />
skilled volunteers with the best<br />
equipment possible.”<br />
She said keeping one of<br />
the longest-serving maritime<br />
rescue presence in New<br />
Zealand operational for 1<strong>25</strong><br />
years is no small feat, and<br />
it comes with an estimated<br />
annual operational cost<br />
of $1<strong>25</strong>,000.<br />
“To meet this financial<br />
demand and continue saving<br />
lives at sea, Coastguard<br />
Sumner relies heavily on<br />
community support and<br />
fundraising efforts,” she said.<br />
To celebrate 1<strong>25</strong> years and to<br />
fundraise for the continuation<br />
of the life-changing work they<br />
do, the community is invited<br />
to an open day on Sunday<br />
November 5, from 10am-noon<br />
at the Scarborough Rd base.<br />
“Locals can see how the<br />
station operates through small<br />

Sumner volunteers will<br />
be running a simulation<br />

organisation’s three<br />
vessels.<br />
group tours led through the<br />
building by amazing volunteer<br />
crew members and review<br />
some fascinating memorabilia<br />
and historical photos on<br />
display,” said the spokesperson.<br />
There will be a water rescue<br />
simulation at 11am, as well as<br />
some simulated challenges for<br />
kids (and kids at heart).<br />
“We’re extremely grateful<br />
to all our community funders<br />
and donors for their generous<br />
support and allowing our<br />
volunteers to do what they do<br />
best,” she said.<br />
Cruise ship<br />
passengers<br />
to get city<br />
shuttle<br />
INCOMING cruise ship<br />
passengers will be bussed<br />
straight from Lyttelton’s port<br />
to Christchurch, following<br />
locals’ complaints about tourists<br />
overwhelming public transport.<br />
The season runs from<br />
November 7 until April 8, with<br />
77 ships expected to arrive in<br />
Lyttelton and 12 scheduled for<br />
Akaroa.<br />
Lyttelton residents have<br />
complained when the ships are<br />
in port and bus services have<br />
struggled to keep up with the<br />
added demand from tourists.<br />
Economic development agency<br />
ChristchurchNZ said this season<br />
would trial cruise passengers<br />
catching a free shuttle from the<br />
Lyttelton cruise berth directly<br />
into the central city.<br />
Destination and attraction<br />
general manager Loren Aberhart<br />
said this would aim to reduce<br />
the number of passengers who<br />
entered the port town, and<br />
eliminate the strain on the public<br />
bus system.<br />
“A huge volume of cruise ship<br />
passengers really does overload<br />
the town,” she said.<br />

Hope inquest will help with healing<br />
• By Tim Brown<br />
MUSLIM COMMUNITY leaders<br />
hope a long-awaited coronial inquest<br />
into the Christchurch terror attack<br />
will put unanswered questions to rest<br />
and help people heal from the trauma<br />
of the massacre that left 51 people<br />
dead.<br />
This week Coroner Brigitte<br />
Windley begins six weeks of public<br />
hearings into the murder of worshippers<br />
on March 15, 2019, at Al Noor<br />
Mosque and Linwood Islamic Centre.<br />
The first phase inquest will focus<br />
on 10 key issues, including the<br />
initial emergency response, whether<br />
anyone could have been saved with<br />
faster medical treatment, whether the<br />
terrorist had direct assistance from<br />
anyone else on March 15 and whether<br />
the emergency exit door in Al Noor<br />
Mosque’s main prayer room “failed to<br />
function” during the mass shooting.<br />
Islamic Women’s Council national<br />
co-ordinator Aliya Danzeisen said<br />
the coronial process was important<br />
for people seeking the truth about<br />
what happened.<br />
“It is challenging to have walked<br />

the last four-and-a-half years, but it<br />
is important to know the truth – to<br />
know what can be done in the future<br />
to make sure it doesn’t happen again,”<br />
she said.<br />
Danzeisen said she hoped people<br />
affected by the massacre could find<br />
some closure.<br />
“Research shows knowing the full<br />
truth is helpful in healing, because<br />
not knowing always raises questions,<br />
so it puts those questions to rest. So<br />
our hope is it will be that for our<br />
families, our community and the<br />
nation.”<br />

ACTION: Lyttelton Port had taken steps to improve safety<br />
of its port operations before the death of stevedore Don<br />
Grant, TAIC said.<br />
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />
AN INVESTIGATION into<br />
the deaths of two port workers<br />
within six days of each other<br />
last year has found a haphazard<br />
approach to safety, with poor<br />
regulatory oversight and a lack of<br />
industry-wide standards.<br />
Stevedore Don Grant was<br />
killed during a loading operation<br />
at Lyttelton Port on April <strong>25</strong>,<br />
2022 when he was buried under<br />
a load of coal on the deck of the<br />
ETG Aquarius, a bulk carrier.<br />
Less than a week earlier, on<br />
April 19, Ōtara man Atiroa<br />
Tuaiti died while working on a<br />
docked Singaporean container<br />
ship at the Port of Auckland, after<br />
he moved under a suspended<br />
40-foot container and suffered<br />
crush injuries.<br />
At the time, the Maritime<br />
Union, Rail and Maritime<br />
Transport Union, Council of<br />
Trade Unions and the Merchant<br />
Service Guild collectively asked<br />
for an inquiry into the industry.<br />
The Government directed the<br />
Transport Accident Investigation<br />
Commission to investigate the<br />
deaths on April 27, 2022. In its<br />
report, released late last week,<br />
TAIC highlighted several major<br />
safety problems for port workers<br />
requiring urgent attention.<br />
The commission said both<br />
accidents revealed organisational<br />
weaknesses in risk identification<br />
and mitigation strategies,<br />
communication and supervisory<br />
oversight.<br />
Lyttelton Port had taken steps<br />
to improve safety of its port<br />
operations before the accident<br />
occurred, the commission said.<br />
However, it had not yet identified<br />
all the critical risks of the coal<br />
signalman’s role.<br />
Wallace Investments, which<br />
employed the Auckland stevedore,<br />
had recognised suspended<br />
loads as a hazard and provided<br />
training procedures, which included<br />
regularly reminding them<br />
not to position themselves under<br />
a suspended load.<br />
HIKING BOOTS<br />
& SHOES<br />
The commission said the<br />
presence of at-risk behaviour<br />
indicated “a desensitisation” to<br />
workplace hazards and a lack of<br />
effective supervisory oversight.<br />
TAIC accidents chief investigator<br />
Naveen Kozhuppakalam said<br />
the report identified safety issues<br />
for the whole stevedoring sector<br />
in three areas – regulatory activity,<br />
cohesion in the stevedoring<br />
sector, and individual employers’<br />
management of safety.<br />
“The commission wants<br />
regulators Maritime NZ and<br />
WorkSafe to do more to promote<br />
future safety across the sector.<br />
They need to take a ‘just culture’<br />
For men, women<br />
and children<br />
From<br />
$79.95<br />
to $<strong>25</strong>0<br />
approach, provide insight, promote<br />
information sharing and<br />
maturity in risk management,<br />
and encourage continuous learning,”<br />
Kozhuppakalam<br />
said.<br />
Among other recommendations,<br />
the commission<br />
said Maritime<br />
NZ should work with the<br />
stevedoring industry on<br />
training standards and<br />
sharing of information<br />
safety.<br />
“We need to move on<br />
from stevedoring organisations<br />
deciding for themselves how they<br />
will meet safety requirements . . .<br />
“If proper codes aren’t implemented,<br />
accidents will happen.”<br />
Kozhuppakalam said the stevedoring<br />
industry had minimal<br />
proactive gathering and sharing<br />
of safety information and too few<br />
stevedoring companies appreciated<br />
the benefit of a good safety<br />
culture.<br />
The commission wants regulators<br />
Maritime NZ and WorkSafe<br />
to do more to promote future<br />
safety across the sector.<br />

taken a number of safety actions,<br />

Investments about what safety<br />
actions it has taken since the<br />
accident happened.<br />
Lyttelton Port Company chief<br />
executive Graeme Sumner<br />
said the port agreed with<br />
all the recommendations<br />
in the report and was committed<br />
to implementing<br />
them.<br />
They had also already<br />
taken steps following the<br />
death of Grant, Sumner<br />
said.<br />
“We also welcome the<br />
recommendation relating to<br />
greater regulatory oversight<br />
of the port industry and look forward<br />
to working with Maritime<br />
New Zealand in this regard.<br />
“Our thoughts are with the<br />
family of Don Grant and with<br />
his friends and fellow team<br />
members. This report is a<br />
reminder of the very significant<br />
loss of a much-loved family man,<br />
work colleague and friend.”<br />
Sumner said it was not appropriate<br />
to say more at this stage<br />
while there was a case before the<br />
courts.<br />
In a statement, Maritime<br />
NZ said health and safety<br />
were priorities for the national<br />
maritime regulator.<br />

Companies fined after skipper killed<br />
• By Sam Sherwood<br />
TWO Christchurch companies<br />
have been fined $270,000 and<br />
ordered to pay $130,000 in<br />
reparation after a trailer came<br />
off a work van and smashed<br />
into another vehicle, killing an<br />
Akaroa boat captain.<br />
Julian Bruins Yates, 52, a<br />
skipper for Black Cat Cruises,<br />
died on <strong>October</strong> 23, 2020 in a<br />
three-vehicle crash on Weka Pass<br />
Rd in Hurunui.<br />
On Tuesday last week, Ultimate<br />
Design and Renovation<br />
Ltd, which owned the A-frame<br />
trailer and tow vehicle, and its<br />
operational arm ABC Aluminium<br />
Ltd were sentenced in the<br />
district court. Both businesses<br />
were charged under the Health<br />
and Safety at Work Act for health<br />
and safety failures.<br />
A WorkSafe investigation<br />
found the locking handle on<br />
the trailer was not engaged, and<br />
the trailer’s safety chain was not<br />
connected to the vehicle.<br />
“These are routine checks that<br />
must be done when towing a<br />
trailer. If not, the consequences<br />
can be catastrophic,” said Work-<br />
Safe’s head of specialist interventions,<br />
Dr Catherine Gardner.<br />
Both companies did not<br />
have systems to ensure vehicles<br />
were in good working order, or<br />
systems to ensure drivers visually<br />

checked their vehicles before use.<br />
WorkSafe also found staff had<br />
inadequate information, training,<br />
instruction, supervision,<br />
and experience to safely use the<br />
company vehicles and trailers.<br />
“It’s not enough to just have<br />
your workers sign a vehicle<br />
policy. Businesses need to ensure<br />
drivers are competent to safely<br />
use a vehicle, especially one that<br />
is being towed,” said Gardner.<br />
“Julian Bruins Yates was a<br />
father of two who lost his life<br />
through no fault of his own. Any<br />
business with a vehicle<br />
fleet should heed the lessons<br />
of this tragedy because it was<br />
entirely preventable.”<br />
Black Cat Cruises chief executive<br />
Paul Milligan told the NZ<br />
Herald after the tragedy his staff<br />
had been left devastated.<br />
“Julian was a colourful<br />
character, he had been a part of<br />
the Black Cat team for 10 years.”<br />
Yates had been the “face and<br />
voice” of the company’s Akaroa<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> cruise since 2011. Being<br />
out on the water in nature was<br />
“his happy place”, said Milligan.<br />
He estimated about 100,000<br />
guests over the past decade had<br />
been on a cruise with Yates.<br />
“He was definitely a big personality<br />
and someone who will<br />
be dearly missed,” said Milligan.<br />
“Akaroa is a small town and<br />
Julian had involvement with<br />
a lot of things and the whole<br />
community is feeling it.”<br />

“By creating a traffic<br />
management plan which<br />
ensures cruise ship passengers<br />
can access Christchurch<br />

Lyttelton, a small township<br />
which is not set up for large<br />
numbers of visitors, we know<br />
that both visitors and residents<br />

experience in our destination,”<br />
Aberhart said.<br />
She said the proposal would<br />
have some cost implications for<br />
cruise lines.<br />
“We think that there will<br />
be some incremental cost<br />
increases to transfer passengers<br />
from Lyttelton to Christchurch.<br />
We’re really eager to work<br />
through supporting the cruise<br />
lines and making sure their<br />
logistical planning doesn’t cost<br />
them too much.”<br />

Musical heater<br />
goes to auction<br />
RECENT INDUCTEE to<br />
NZ Music Hall of Fame Don<br />
McGlashan has donated his<br />
portable heater to the Peninsula<br />
Art Auction.<br />
This one-of-a-kind creation,<br />
brought to life by Delaney<br />
Davidson, was originally given<br />
to McGlashan by sound engineer<br />
Arran Eley while touring in<br />
Lyttelton. This chance encounter<br />
sparked a heart-warming<br />
journey that has become a<br />
symbol of camaraderie and<br />
creativity.<br />
As Don and his trusty heater<br />
embarked on the Take It To<br />

Having completed its musical<br />

artistic generosity, hand-painted<br />

Bill Hammond<br />
donated to art<br />
IF YOU’D like a Bill Hammond<br />
in your art collection and don’t<br />
have a spare $1.75m, you’ll want<br />
to be at the biennial Peninsula<br />
Art Auction this weekend in<br />
Lyttelton.<br />
The auction, of which Hammond<br />
was a long-time benefactor,<br />
was first held in 2005 in the<br />
late artist’s hometown and is<br />
organised by the Lyttelton Education<br />
Charitable Trust.<br />
In 2019 and 2017, original Bill<br />
Hammond works went under the<br />
hammer for under $10,000.<br />
This year, Bill Hammond’s<br />
widow Jane has generously donated<br />
a 2007 etching Bone Eagle<br />
C, with price expectations of<br />
anywhere from $4000.<br />
The Peninsula Art Auction is<br />
a collaboration of local artists,<br />
Lyttelton Primary School and<br />
local businesses, making this<br />
year’s auction a community<br />
effort.<br />
The most recent auction in<br />
2019 raised over $40,000 for the<br />
primary school and the team are<br />
looking forward to bringing the<br />
auction back after its hiatus<br />
GENEROUS: Hammond’s Bone Eagle C is expected to<br />
fetch upwards of $4000.<br />
due to Covid.<br />
Said Lyttelton Primary<br />
principal Jenny Felton: “The<br />
Peninsula Art Auction is a major<br />
fundraiser for us and is well<br />
supported by our creative and<br />
talented community. We are<br />
privileged to be part of such an<br />
enduring and successful event.”<br />
More than 100 artists in<br />
this year’s auction have links<br />
to the port town and wider<br />
Banks Peninsula, and it is an<br />
opportunity for up-and-coming<br />
artists to exhibit right next to the<br />
famous.<br />
Highlights this year also<br />
include works from, Jason Greig,<br />

Paws & Peace - Fear Free Veterinary Care at Kōwhai Vet<br />
When it comes to the well-being of our<br />
cherished furry friends, we often focus<br />
on their physical health, ensuring they receive<br />
the best preventative healthcare, vaccinations,<br />
or treatment when they are sick or injured.<br />
But how often do we consider the emotional<br />
wellbeing of our pets during those veterinary<br />
visits?<br />
At Kōwhai Vet, we understand the emotional<br />
impact of a visit to the vet and have made it<br />
our mission to provide fear-free patient care,<br />
ensuring the utmost comfort and relaxation for<br />
both pets and their owners.<br />
Understanding FAS: Fear, Anxiety<br />
and Stress<br />
A trip to the vet can be a daunting experience<br />
for animals and their owners alike, often<br />
leading to high levels of fear, anxiety, and<br />
Dogs<br />

stress, collectively referred to as ‘FAS.’<br />
When animals are fearful, they face limited<br />
responses to a scary situation – fight, flight,<br />
freeze, or fidget. Recognising and addressing<br />
these emotional responses is at the core of our<br />
approach to care.<br />
Creating a Stress-Free Environment<br />
At Kōwhai Vet, our primary goal is to keep FAS<br />
levels as low as possible during every visit<br />
to our clinic, ensuring a calm and soothing<br />
atmosphere for both pets and owners.<br />
Here are some of the ways we try to<br />
achieve this:<br />
Education: We provide pet owners with<br />
valuable guidance on preparing their pets for<br />
a trip to the vet, helping to kickstart the visit<br />
on a positive note.<br />
Rigid and/or stiff<br />

Caudal higher than shoulders; back flat<br />
Above topline; soft, inverted U curve below<br />
topline; gentle back and forth movement<br />
Calming Scents and Pet Pheromones:<br />
Our clinic is infused with calming scents<br />
and pet pheromones, creating a serene<br />
atmosphere to ease pets’ anxiety upon arrival.<br />
Long Appointments: We allocate ample<br />
time for appointments, giving your pet the<br />
opportunity to adjust to the new environment<br />
gradually. Throughout the visit, we closely<br />
monitor signs of FAS and take measures to<br />
reduce stress whenever possible.<br />
Pre-Visit Calming Medications: For highly<br />
anxious pets, we offer pre-visit calming<br />
medications to reduce anxiety levels and<br />
ensure a more comfortable visit.<br />
Positive Reinforcement: We offer a variety of<br />
treat options to create a positive experience<br />
during the visit, helping to alleviate your pet’s<br />
anxiety and build trust.<br />
Gentle Handling: Our clinic employs minimal<br />
restraint techniques to handle pets during<br />
procedures, ensuring their comfort and<br />
security throughout.<br />

Pain Relief and Calming Medications:<br />
In cases where a procedure might cause<br />
discomfort or a patient is displaying high levels<br />
of FAS, we consider the use of additional pain<br />
relief or calming medications to maintain your<br />
pet’s relaxation.<br />
Dedication to Fear-Free Care<br />
At Kōwhai Vet, many of our staff members<br />
have already achieved, or are actively working<br />
towards their Fear-Free Certification. This<br />
demonstrates our unwavering commitment to<br />
providing the highest standard of care for your<br />
pets.<br />
Our dedication to fear-free patient care is not<br />
just a commitment; it’s our promise. We aim to<br />
make every visit to our clinic as low-stress and<br />
relaxing as possible, ensuring both you and<br />
your beloved pets have a positive experience.<br />
Contact us today to experience the difference<br />
that compassionate, fear-free care can make in<br />
your pet’s life.<br />
Your pets will thank you, and we will, too.<br />

Tjalling de Vries to hold<br />
Take Root exhibition<br />
IN TAKE Root, Tjalling de<br />
Vries connects with the Banks<br />
Peninsula environment in which<br />
he was raised, from his current<br />
home of Lyttelton.<br />
Born in the Netherlands,<br />
de Vries grew up on Banks<br />
Peninsula and attended<br />
Canterbury University’s Ilam<br />
School of Fine Arts.<br />
For this solo exhibition, which<br />
runs from November 3-26 at<br />
Stoddart Cottage, de Vries has<br />
expanded his creative practice<br />
to produce a series of woodblock<br />
prints of trees that are native to<br />
Banks Peninsula.<br />
The exhibition also includes<br />
a hand-printed book made in<br />
collaboration with the poet and<br />
playwright Pohlen Newbery,<br />
and printer and curator Peter<br />
Vangioni. Newbery wrote<br />
the text in te reo Māori, and<br />
Vangioni printed the words<br />
on his letterpress with two of<br />
de Vries’ woodblock prints<br />
alongside.<br />
Said de Vries: “I feel it is<br />
pleasantly fitting to exhibit<br />
these works at Stoddart Cottage<br />
considering the legacy of<br />
Margaret Stoddart’s botanical<br />
INSPIRED BY<br />
NATURE:<br />
Akaeke on<br />
woodblock<br />
by Tjalling de<br />
Vries will be<br />
on display as<br />
part of the<br />
exhibition.<br />
work and interest.”<br />
Tjalling’s practice traverses<br />
a range of media and thematic<br />
concerns, often with a<br />
particular interest in spacial and<br />
multisensory experiences, as<br />
well as the simple art of picture<br />
making. Tjalling is represented<br />
by Jonathan Smart Gallery.<br />
The opening event will be<br />
held on Saturday, November 4<br />

Fire brigade 150th weekend gets 10/10<br />
REMINISCE: Heath<br />
Carswell, Caleb Pool<br />
and Connor Buckley<br />
modelling old<br />
uniforms in front of<br />
two appliances from<br />
Ferrymead’s Hall of<br />
Flame. Inset – the<br />
Rosenbauer Panther.<br />
WITH LESS than an hour<br />
to go before the Lyttelton<br />
Volunteer Fire Brigade 150th<br />
anniversary weekend kicked<br />
off, the siren sounded.<br />
Thankfully, it was nothing<br />
serious – just a reminder that<br />
the celebrations could get<br />
interrupted at any time.<br />
Thankfully again, that<br />
didn’t happen and the<br />
weekend was a wonderful<br />
gathering of old friends,<br />
with lots of laughter,<br />
emotion and some seriously<br />
impressive firefighting<br />
firepower on display.<br />
First through the tunnel<br />
was the monster Rosenbauer<br />
Panther, a long way from<br />
home at Christchurch<br />
International Airport. It<br />
joined five fire appliances<br />
from Christchurch and<br />
Lyttelton, along with two<br />
old timers from Ferrymead’s<br />
Hall of Flame Museum – the<br />
1938 Dennis Light Six and<br />
1946 Ford V8, both of which<br />
saw action at the Ballantynes<br />
fire in 1947.<br />
Lyttelton’s youngest<br />
brigade members Heath<br />
Carswell, Caleb Pool and<br />
Connor Buckley modelled<br />
old fire brigade uniforms that<br />
were obsolete before they<br />
were even born.<br />
On Saturday, more than<br />
170 packed the marquee on<br />
the station forecourt for the<br />
grand celebration dinner and<br />
awards evening.<br />
Sunday morning was<br />
a much quieter and very<br />
moving period for reflection<br />
and remembrance, with<br />
thanks to Neil Struthers and<br />
bagpiper Craig Gibson.<br />
By the time the farewell<br />
barbecue ended on Sunday<br />
afternoon the general<br />
consensus was a score of<br />
10 out of 10 for the whole<br />
weekend.<br />
Then, wouldn’t you know<br />
it, with impeccable timing,<br />
at 7.20am Monday morning,<br />
the siren sounded again. As<br />
the fire truck headed out the<br />
door the rest of the Lyttelton<br />
Volunteer Fire Brigade crew<br />
got stuck into the station<br />

Electric<br />
bus fleet<br />
to grow<br />
MORE THAN a quarter<br />
of Kinetic’s Go Bus fleet in<br />
Christchurch will soon be<br />
electric, with confirmation 10<br />
more zero-emission buses are<br />
bound for the city next year.<br />
The company will introduce<br />
the 10 electric buses across<br />
a number of local routes, to<br />
replace older diesel buses and<br />
further reduce the emissions<br />
from its Christchurch bus<br />
services.<br />
The introduction of these new<br />
electric buses is made possible by<br />
Environment Canterbury being<br />
awarded additional funding from<br />
Waka Kotahi to help decarbonise<br />
the urban Metro fleet.<br />
The additional 10 electric<br />
buses will see Kinetic grow its<br />
city fleet to 51 battery electric<br />
vehicles, which represents more<br />
than <strong>25</strong> per cent of its local fleet.<br />
“It’s a great step towards<br />
achieving our goal of having<br />
a 100 per cent zero emission<br />
fleet across New Zealand and<br />
Australia by 2035,” said Kinetic<br />
NZ managing director Calum<br />
Haslop.<br />
The new buses can be expected<br />
on Canterbury roads in 2024.<br />

Guiding the way for young girls<br />
• By Sasha Watson<br />
CIARA GIBSON has just<br />
returned from representing New<br />
Zealand at an international Girl<br />
Guiding governance forum.<br />
Now, the 20-year-old Canterbury<br />
University student wants to<br />
see more girls step up to leadership<br />
positions.<br />
Gibson, who lives in Ilam,<br />
was selected as one of two New<br />
Zealand representatives at the<br />
38th World Association of Girl<br />
Guiding and Girl Scouting world<br />
conference in Cyprus.<br />
About 400 delegates from 106<br />
countries attended the event to<br />
discuss strategy, policy and leadership<br />
at a global level, elect new<br />
world board members and participate<br />
in a range of workshops.<br />
Gibson said the conference<br />
connected her with other people<br />
around the world who are passionate<br />
about empowering young<br />
women.<br />
“But I also learned young<br />
women can have much more<br />
of a voice on numerous issues<br />
and take advantage of a whole<br />
range of different opportunities<br />
compared to our peers in some<br />
other countries,” she said.<br />
“Guides has inspired me over<br />
the years and has offered me<br />
a wonderful chance to really<br />
challenge myself and to learn<br />
and grow.<br />
“I want to offer the same<br />
support and mentoring to other<br />
GOING GLOBAL: Ciara Gibson was one of two New Zealand<br />
Girl Guide representatives at the world conference.<br />
girls and young women who<br />
may want to become the leaders<br />
of tomorrow, or who may just<br />
want to have fun and enjoy new<br />
challenges with a great group of<br />
other girls in a safe space.”<br />
Gibson sits on the<br />
GirlGuiding NZ national<br />
board, as the young leader representative,<br />
and was a member of<br />
the national girl advisory group,<br />
which focuses on giving young<br />
women a voice within the organisation.<br />
She has also attained the<br />
Queen’s Guide award (the<br />
highest achievement in guiding)<br />
and has served as both a leader<br />
and co-ordinator for the central<br />
South Island region.<br />
“It sometimes takes guts<br />
to put your hand up and step<br />
out of your comfort zone, and<br />
that’s where I’ve been lucky as a<br />
Girl Guide,” she said.<br />
“It’s important for girls to see<br />
other girls in leadership positions<br />
and Guiding has been invaluable<br />
in that respect. The organisation<br />
has done so much to help me<br />
overcome those barriers and help<br />
me become a leader.”<br />
Gibson didn’t have to look far<br />
for inspiration to become a Girl<br />
Guide. Her mother and both of<br />
her grandmothers were Guides,<br />
and her father and both her<br />
grandfathers were involved in<br />
Scouting. She joined the organisation<br />
aged 7 as a Brownie.<br />
Her mum, Sharon, is still a<br />
Guide leader and her younger<br />
sister, Brianna, is also a leader.<br />
Established in 1908,<br />
GirlGuiding NZ offers a<br />
non-competitive learning environment<br />
which is open-minded<br />
and values-based.<br />
“It’s a supportive place to grow<br />
confident, adventurous girls<br />
who are ready to be tomorrow’s<br />
leaders,” said Gibson.<br />
“Given its strong focus on<br />
inclusivity, and given the<br />
challenges girls and young<br />
women face in today’s society,<br />
it’s a special place where girls<br />
and young women can learn<br />
new skills, create lifelong<br />
connections, and nurture<br />
personal growth and confidence.<br />
“There’s still much more we<br />
need to do at home to encourage<br />
young Kiwi women to step<br />
up. Our ‘tall poppy’ syndrome<br />
means we often still hold<br />
ourselves back.”<br />
GirlGuiding NZ has<br />
partnered with Griffin’s<br />
again to bring the<br />
kiwi favourite choc<br />
guide biscuits back to<br />
supermarket shelves.<br />
While not being sold by<br />
Girl Guides, the biscuits will<br />
be available at Countdown,<br />
SuperValue and<br />
FreshChoice supermarkets<br />

funds for the organisation.<br />

Gangster’s Paradise<br />
by Jared Savage<br />
The much anticipated follow-up to the bestseller that exposed the escalation of<br />
organised crime in New Zealand.<br />
Gangster’s Paradise is about drugs, guns, gangs and money. Lots of money.<br />
A gang which took over a small rural town. A police officer shot and killed<br />
in a routine traffic stop. A port-worker who helped a gang whisk a shipping<br />
container off a wharf in the middle of the night. A crew of corrupt baggage<br />
handlers smuggling meth into the country during Covid lockdowns. A shooting<br />
inside a 5-star hotel in broad daylight. Turf wars, retaliation, and retribution:<br />
new gangs like the Mongols and Comancheros have brought with them better<br />
connections with international syndicates, challenging the established gangs<br />
like the Head Hunters - so dominant for many years - who have had to up their<br />
game in response.<br />
Jared Savage’s bestselling book Gangland was about the evolution of gangs in<br />
New Zealand. Gangster’s Paradise is about the deadly escalation.<br />

TREASURES FROM THE PAST<br />
Arduous journeys, uncertain futures<br />
THROUGHOUT the 19th<br />
century, many courageous<br />
individuals heeded the call<br />
to leave Great Britain to sail<br />
approximately 12,410 nautical<br />
miles (22,983km) to Aotearoa<br />
New Zealand in pursuit of a<br />
better life. Both the journey –<br />
on fast merchant sailing ships<br />
called ‘clippers’ – and arrival was<br />
fraught with challenges.<br />
The first wave of organised<br />
migration under the Canterbury<br />
Association’s planned Church<br />
of England settlement saw 28<br />
ships carrying 3500 people arrive<br />
between 1850 and 1853. With the<br />
demise of the Canterbury Association<br />
in 1855, the Provincial<br />
Government took over immigration<br />
until 1870.<br />
From 1870, working class<br />
English, Irish, Scottish and a<br />
few Welsh citizens were enticed<br />
to migrate to New Zealand by<br />
agents visiting rural villages,<br />
selling the dream of a land of<br />
plenty ‘down under’.<br />
Of extra temptation was the<br />
opportunity to have their passage<br />
paid for by the New Zealand<br />
Government. Treasurer Julius<br />
Vogel was behind a massive government<br />
borrowing programme<br />
to fund public works projects.<br />
This also paid for an assisted<br />
migration scheme to provide<br />
‘manpower’ to build roads, railways<br />
and telegraph lines.<br />
For a typical agricultural<br />
labourer in Britain at that time,<br />
one’s diet consisted mainly of<br />
bread and potatoes with a little<br />
cabbage or bacon fat thrown in.<br />
Many were illiterate and there<br />
was little hope of improving<br />
one’s lot in life, nor one’s offspring’s.<br />
The impacts of the industrial<br />
revolution had exacerbated<br />
poverty as traditional livelihoods<br />
were eroded, which meant a real<br />
risk of ending up in the workhouse.<br />
Little wonder many chose<br />
to take a perilous sea voyage, in<br />
the sure knowledge they would<br />
never see their birthplace again.<br />
More than 100,000 assisted<br />
migrants arrived during the<br />
1870s, including a record of over<br />
32,000 in 1874. The journey from<br />
Britain to New Zealand took<br />
about three months and individual<br />
experience on board was determined<br />
by the same social and<br />
economic strata that then characterised<br />
British society. If one<br />
was a privileged cabin passenger,<br />
there was space and opportunity<br />
to stroll the poop deck and take<br />
part in ‘entertainments’.<br />
However, for steerage<br />
passengers shipboard life was<br />
mainly confined to the bowels<br />
of the vessel. Timber bunks,<br />
constructed in two tiers and<br />
measuring about six by twothree<br />
feet, with a canvas curtain,<br />
provided one’s only privacy, rest<br />
area, and storage space. A long<br />
central table was the communal<br />
space for cooking, sewing or<br />
social activities. Washing was<br />
done in a bucket, toileting<br />
facilities were rudimentary, and<br />
rodents, cockroaches and lice<br />
abounded. Conditions were<br />
crowded, damp, malodorous<br />
and unsanitary; during storms,<br />
hatches were battened down,<br />
sometimes for many days at a<br />
time.<br />
Given these factors, and that<br />
health clearances in Britain prior<br />
to embarkation were cursory,<br />
resulting in some ships having<br />
disease on board prior to departure,<br />
it is no surprise there were<br />
deaths on many ships. When<br />
enteric fever (typhoid), scarlatina<br />
(scarlet fever), diptheria and<br />
smallpox ripped through a<br />
vessel, tolls could reach well into<br />
double figures, with especially<br />
high numbers of infants and<br />
children. Ship’s doctors and the<br />
matrons assigned to single women’s<br />
welfare had little capacity<br />
to minister to sick passengers. It<br />
was largely up to an individual’s<br />
innate resilience whether one<br />
survived illness. Burials at sea<br />
were mostly done with minimal<br />
ceremonies.<br />
Challenges were not over on<br />
arrival in Whakaraupō Lyttelton<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong>. Immigration barracks<br />
had been erected in 1850 for<br />
the arrival of the Canterbury<br />
Association’s “First Four Ships”;<br />
they provided temporary accommodation<br />
while colonists found<br />
their feet and a place for employers<br />
to vet prospective workers<br />
from steerage. Our very early<br />
1862-1863 photograph shows one<br />
of these barracks at the end of<br />
the Government jetty, above the<br />
small cottage.<br />
By 1863, concerns about<br />
infection spreading to the local<br />

population were behind the Government’s<br />
decision to establish a<br />
human quarantine station at Te<br />
Pohue Camp <strong>Bay</strong>, on a 50-acre<br />
block originally set aside for<br />
stock quarantine. It had a safe<br />
anchorage from which to ferry<br />
migrants ashore, but for the first<br />
to be quarantined there off the<br />
Captain Cook, it was just a wet<br />
and miserable ‘tent city’. Seventeen<br />
had died during that ship’s<br />
voyage and another five deaths<br />
followed in the bay.<br />
Lobbying by passengers and<br />
concerned citizens resulted in<br />
the erection of timber barracks<br />
in 1864. These structures were<br />
levelled in a storm less than<br />
a year later, testifying to the<br />
exposed nature of the site. A<br />
small cemetery on the headland<br />
was the final resting place of a<br />
probable total of 74 individuals<br />
– burials took place from 1863-<br />
1880, long after the bay stopped<br />
being used for quarantine.<br />
Fear of the spread of disease<br />
continued to be voiced in the<br />
Lyttelton Times and other<br />
regional papers; in 1873, a third<br />
government quarantine solution<br />
was proposed on Ripapa Island.<br />
A hospital and five large barracks<br />
capable of accommodating 300<br />
people were constructed.<br />
Passengers from the 1873<br />
typhus ridden Punjaubwere were<br />
held there; 27 had died at sea<br />
and a further 11 succumbed in<br />
quarantine (they were buried at<br />
Camp <strong>Bay</strong>). The site was taken<br />
over for use by the Government’s<br />
penal authority in 1876.<br />
A fourth and final quarantine<br />
complex was built on Ōtamahua<br />
Quail Island in 1876. Evidently<br />
it was little used for its intended<br />
purpose. Many ships were<br />
not required to quarantine;<br />
that difficult decision was the<br />
responsibility of Dr Donald,<br />
then Lyttelton’s Medical Officer.<br />
He must have felt immense<br />
pressure from multiple quarters<br />
– shipping interests, migrants<br />
eager to start their new lives,<br />
and a local populace wary of<br />
infection. However, the facilities<br />
were used until 1931, including<br />
during the post WW1 influenza<br />
epidemic and for a leprosy<br />
colony.<br />
