Peninsula Art Auction Feature Artist: Asher Newbery
There are now only four weeks to go until the Fifth Peninsula Art Auction on 13 and 14 April at the former supermarket building at
19 London Street, Lyttelton. The doors of Lyttelton’s old super value site will be flung wide open to reveal an exciting exhibition of
over fifty artists and their work. This event is a real highlight on Christchurch’s arts calendar and is returning even bigger and
better, with some of the regions leading, and up and coming artists exhibiting. If you haven’t already starting saving your pennies
and booking the babysitter for this great event you still have time. All of the money raised from the auction benefits the two
primary schools in Lyttelton. Works will be available for viewing, with a gold coin donation all weekend and a silent auction will be
combined with a live auction at 7.00pm Sunday 14 April. Tickets for the live auction are $35 and go on sale in the next couple of
weeks, they will be available for purchase from Portico, Lyttelton West and Lyttelton Main Schools, the Lyttelton Farmer’s Market
and through our website www.peninsula-art.co.nz.
This week we continue with our series of feature articles on one of the contributing artists. Last week we featured expressionist
artist James Robinson. This week the spotlight is on Lyttelton born and bred Contemporary Maori artist Asher Newbery.
Newbery considers Lyttelton his home town, growing up in one of the houses across the road from Lyttelton West School, and
doing all of his primary school years there. Newbery confesses that Lyttelton has had a huge influence on his path to becoming an
artist. He remembers his Dad used to say that living in the hills lets you live in three dimensions, this is something that many of us
living in the harbour or further afield somewhere on the peninsula relate to. He says being able to look down to the port and up
out across the Port Hills gives a far more interesting perspective compared to the flat lands of Christchurch. Also growing up across
the road from Bill Hammond, one of his greatest hero painters was always an inspiration.
Newbery sees himself in the continuum of Contemporary Maori Art and has taken his influence from New Zealand’s greats such as
Hotere, Shane Cotton [his first painting teacher], Kura te Waru Rewiri [his second painting teacher] and Saffron Te Ratana to name
but a few. He believes it is every new generations responsibility to add to the Maori visual vocabulary. Newbery is currently based
in Palmerston North but still calls Lyttelton home. In 2011 - 2012 Newbery enrolled in the Master of Māori Visual Arts at Massey
University during which he was involved in the curation and hanging of several exhibitions. In 2010 he held a solo exhibition here
in Lyttelton called First Crack held for the people of Lyttelton.
He also did a group exhibition at the NG Gallery in
Christchurch called Toi Kaingakau, this was an exhibition of
painting and 3D work from the artist’s collective Toi Whatoro.
Prior to this he took part in a group exhibition with the Toi
Whatoro collective at the Our City Otautahi Gallery,
Christchurch. He has also facilitated workshops on the
kowhaiwhai [painting] and whakairo [carving] at Te Papa.
Come down to the art auction on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14
April to see Newbery’s work along with many other talented
artists. There is no doubt Lyttelton is going to be in for a well
earned visual treat. For further information on the upcoming
auction phone 03 328-9560 or visit www.peninsula-art.co.nz.

Creative Community Participation The Volcanic Terrace
Each week the Lyttelton Review is working toward introducing you to the people behind the seven successful transition projects at
the new civic square on the corner of London Street and Canterbury Street. The project being highlighted today is a collaboration
between Rich Humphreys, Cynthia van de Loo, Ashley Elizabeth and John Allen. Their successful design includes a series of free-form
plaster volcanic terraces to provide space to relax and link the steps leading to the upper level.
Cyntha and Ashley came up with the concept of the terraces and local landscape designer, John from Elementals Design, will bring
their vision to life. Rich pulled the project proposal together and will seek community participation on the project as is comes
together in late April to early May.
The concept was initially part of a larger design that could still be considered when the site is developed further. Their volcanic
terrace will be situated in the back right hand corner of the lower site, and with landscaping from John it will link with Tim’s
beautiful sustainable chair that the Review introduced to you last week.
When completed the molded terraces will form a small amphitheater, and will provide a wonderful cosy seating area in this central
community space.
The great thing with this project is it will also serve as a teaching space. You will get the opportunity to attend a community
workshop teaching you how to make the steps, foundation and how to put the project together. This hands on community approach
is just what many people love.
If you are interested in participating keep an eye out for information or alternatively send Rich Humphreys an email at

Huge Retaining Wall Rebuilds Progressing Well SCIRT Update on Lyttelton Retaining Wall Works
Work on Lyttelton’s many retaining walls represent about one third of all the SCIRT retaining wall projects for the Christchurch area.
Over the warmer months repairs have been progressing well:
� Canterbury Street and Dublin Street wall repairs are complete.
� London Street retaining wall should be complete end of March.
� Sumner Road stage one section is close to being finished.
� Ticehurst Road retaining wall work has begun at the top and will take two months.
� Cunningham Terrace retaining wall, a SCIRT Fulton Hogan project, will be finished in April.
� Canterbury and Ripon Streets are due to be completed in March. SCIRT delivery team MacDow has been installing handrails,
capping the walls and doing sections of road surfacing.
� Selwyn Road and Ross Terrace projects should be completed late April. Ross Terrace retaining wall is finished but the road
closure was necessary to keep cars out of the work area. Selwyn Road’s 48 square metre gabion basket wall is being built.
Case Study: Cunningham Terrace Retaining Wall
People who walk up the Bridle Path road on the west side of the port town, go past the entrance to Cunningham Terrace. This
stretch of road and local residents have had a hard time from both earthquakes and bad weather. The bottom end of Cunningham
Terrace was washed out last spring with the heavy rain and also has to be rebuilt. The road at that point drops down onto Simeon
Quay and the main road to Corsair Bay, the tank farm and Naval Point. Cunningham Terrace runs above the main road away from
the heavy traffic, providing a valuable link for residents. The road, which is supported by the retaining wall, also carries core
infrastructure: water, wastewater and storm water pipes. Work to rebuild the retaining wall started in August 2012 by SCIRT
delivery team Fulton Hogan and is now close to finished.

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. Each week readers can read about community
groups; businesses; events; and everything in between. 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.
New Face at Lyttelton TimeBank New Phase Begins
The Lyttelton TimeBank has seen a number of TimeBank co-ordinators since its inception in
2005. Each brings their special qualities to the role and each has new hopes and dreams for the
next phase of the TimeBank. A face familiar to many of you, Wendy Everingham has been
appointed as the next Timebank co-ordinator for Lyttelton. Alongside Jen Kenix she’ll work
fifteen hours a week, connecting and inspiring TimeBank members to make a difference.
Talking with her we get a bit of a feel for the direction she’d like it to head in. “My number one
aim is to get more people joining and participating in the TimeBank”. Whilst the current
membership is around 450 Wendy feels the benefits of a larger membership base are huge.
“When more people participate there are more skills to be shared and more needs that can be
met. As we saw during the earthquakes when you know who is in your community and you can
communicate with them you can achieve mountains. Therefore it’s to our entire community’s
advantage to have as many people linked as possible”.
According to Wendy the TimeBank is such a powerful community asset capable of realising many things in a community. “It
definitely helps build social networks. It connects people of all ages who would never have crossed paths before. It values equally
all the things that we do and the skills we have. It takes volunteering to a new level and you are encouraged to give and most
importantly receive”. For her it’s also an experimental tool to show how some things could be done differently.
“One project I’m looking forward to is the challenge of linking the TimeBank more effectively to Community Civil Defence”. She has
an idea for a Street Reporter project where TimeBank members will be encouraged to volunteer to map their streets. Who are the
neighbours, what could they share, would they like to join the TimeBank?
Wendy also wants to experiment with creating more ways for members to spend Time Credits. Last year Wendy introduced
member credits for the Festival of Walking, and she believes more credits could be applied to various events and activities and
hopes that will be an added incentive for more people to become involved in the network.
Connecting older people is also a high priority. The TimeBank works well for people with computers but those that don’t have them
find the TimeBank more difficult. “We will be exploring ways to improve this situation” Wendy said.
The TimeBank has the potential to help all the community groups around the harbour with member to member trades, member to
organisation trades and organisation to organisation trades. Wendy says it’s such a multipurpose system that adds a new
dimension to community life.
Wendy concludes the interview saying “I have watched the TimeBank develop over the years. It’s taken many twists and turns that
I would never have imagined when it first began. I think it typifies my life here. A multitude of exciting possibilities”.
If you would like to know more information about the
Lyttelton TimeBank please contact Wendy Everingham or
Jen Kenix. You can drop in and visit them between 9.00am
and 11.00am Tuesday to Friday at the Lyttelton Harbour
Information Centre Portacom, presently located at
65 London Street. They can also be contacted on
[email protected] or call 03 328 9093.

Bottle A Little Extra Community House Would Love Your Support
Lyttelton Community House is a social support services and drop-in centre that has been providing five hot, home-cooked meals
per week to the elderly people of Lyttelton since the February 2011 earthquake. The cooking and delivering of the meals have been
carried out by a dedicated group of local women who do so out of their own good will.
Food costs for this programme are a constant challenge to raise money for. Over the past few months Community House, in
conjunction with the Lyttelton Timebank and Community Garden [both initiatives of Project Lyttelton], has endeavoured to gather
support for this service from the Lyttelton Harbour Basin community through the ‘Grow A Little Extra’ initiative. The ’Grow A Little
Extra’ initiative has called to home growers of the region that may have a few extra veggies they can contribute towards the
Community House kitchen. Fresh food is always appreciated, but as produce such as apples, pears and tomatoes are currently
more abundant than one can adequately consume, these goods will be much appreciated as bottled items to store throughout the
winter.
So, if you have summer fruits coming out of your ears and a healthy interest in bottling, please consider spending a day at the stove
for Community House, and for our elderly harbour residents. For those on TimeBank, time credits are given in exchange. Fresh
food co-ordinated through Sue-Ellen at Project Lyttelton 03 328 9243 and any bottled goods can be delivered straight to
Community House, 7 Dublin Street, Lyttelton. Or you can phone Community House on 03 741 1427 to arrange a pick-up. We thank
you for your support.

Play On For Lyttleton Tennis Club Lease Extension for 33 Years Granted
Last week the Christchurch City Council approved a request for from
the Lyttelton Tennis Club to extend their lease of the courts and club
rooms, situated on the corner of Seaview Terrace and Cressy Terrace.
The Lyttleton Tennis Club had also secured a grand from Vodafone
New Zealand of $34,000 to improve the courts and club room. The
Tennis courts and club room will be open to the public when not being
used for club lessons and events.
Background:
The Lyttelton Tennis pavilion was built pre-1930 by local residents and throughout the years has been managed by local residents
with no formal lease in place. Members of the public have free access to the playing surfaces which were maintained by the local
Council. The pavilion and changing rooms fell into disrepair with no maintenance having been undertaken for the past 20 years.
Last year the Lyttelton/Mt Herbert Community Board was approached by a number of Lyttelton residents who were actively
promoting tennis in the harbour community and were interested in using the pavilion. The Council officers advised that a lease
between the group and the Council would be the best course of action to provide the group with exclusive use of the pavilion.
Negotiations with the group were undertaken and a draft Deed of Lease prepared. The group became registered as an incorporated
society in November 2011 as “Lyttelton Tennis Club Incorporated”. Incorporation not only provided the Council with a legal entity
to deal with but also opened up funding opportunities for the Club. The Lyttelton Tennis Club has successfully managed to raise
funds from local and corporate organisations for the upgrade of the pavilion. The Council is undertaking earthquake repairs to the
playing surfaces and retaining walls. The Detailed Engineering Assessment has been undertaken and the building may be occupied
by the public. The Club is working in co-operation with the Council’s Green Space Asset Planner to schedule and plan maintenance
works and upgrades to the building.

Harbour Co-Op Micro Producer Grow and Supply Local
Now is the time of year when many of us are looking at abundance all around us in our gardens. It’s a great time to be considering
whether you’d like to become a Micro Producer for the Harbour Co-Op. The purpose of the Harbour Co-op’s Micro Producer
Program is to promote local food production and consumption in the Harbour Basin and outlying areas.
What is a Micro producer?
The term refers to the broad spectrum of growers who are somewhere in between the backyard gardener and the full scale
commercial farmer. There is no minimum size of land or variety of produce. A grower can specialise in one or two crops or have a
full range. Micro Producers can even be a group of neighbours pitching together and growing on a shared plot.
Do I have to grow organically?
Although our preference is to have all of our produce grown using organic principles, we do not require external certification; we
will evaluate every case individually, making exceptions for spray-free items that we have no other local organically grown source
for. Our key focus is transparency and giving our customers the information they need to make informed choices about the food
that they purchase while promoting local production.
How do I register?
First, get in contact with Brian at [email protected] or phone 021 201 1279. You will need to fill out a Micro Producer
Registration Form and arrange a site visit and interview with our auditor. A soil test may be required for your property
How Does the System Work?
Once you are registered and in the database you can start selling to the Co-op. Although the shop manager may contact you
occasionally to estimate long term availability, it will be your responsibility to contact the Co-op at [email protected] or on
03 328 8544 by the end of day on Thursday if you will have any produce available in the coming week. Confirmation of what the
Harbour Co-Op intends to purchase and the purchase price will be made by 5.00pm on Friday. Monday is when all produce should
be delivered to the shop complete with invoice and crates. Pickups in the Harbour Basin may be arranged when available.
What is expected from me?
We expect our growers to be open and transparent about their growing methods and inputs. We expect a high quality of produce
that has retail marketability – the Harbour Co-Op reserves the right to refuse any produce of inferior quality. We expect a
completed invoice to accompany all deliveries [including name, date, contact info, quantity and agreed price] – invoice books are
available on request. For those who are GST registered, your invoice must include the words “tax invoice”, your company’s GST
number, and a statement that GST is included. We expect that any crates or containers borrowed from the Harbour Co-Op will be
returned in the same condition as received.
How can the Harbour Co-Op help me?
We aim to assist growers overcome some of the obstacles that small scale producers face. We can help source and purchase bulk
materials, tools, and seeds. We can organise extra labour at busy times of the season. Transport of goods may be available in some
areas. We can also connect you with other growers for information and inspiration. Finally, we promise to pay a fair market price
for all goods.
Thanks for your interest in the Harbour Co-op’s Micro Producer Program – Lets Grow!

plenty to share In Lyttelton so many residents grow vegetables; or have fruit trees literally dripping with produce. Plenty to Share is about sharing any
excess produce with the community. So if your lemon tree is yellow with goodness and you can’t keep up with making lemon curd, bring
those surplus fruits down to the organisers, where every Saturday the swapping of produce is well underway in Lyttelton on the corner of
London and Canterbury Street; and also in Diamond Harbour on a Saturday morning at the village centre. If there is something on the
Plenty to Share table that you would like to take home, then you are warmly invited to do so.
LIFT Library Film Evening Monday 11 March, 7.15pm
The last film evening, on banks, money, exploitation of us, and financial alternatives, brought quite a lot of gasps and murmurs
throughout, and then discussion. Ironically, just before I set up for the evening I heard on TV3 News that there is action starting up
against NZ banks. And then I read this online article: www.theage.com.au/national/nz-class-action-targets-big-banks-unfair-fees-
20130311-2fwfe.html#ixzz2NHfYVbDd
The next film evening on Monday 18 March will feature Food Inc: A famous documentary showing corporate control of large
amounts of food products in USA, and therefore ingredients here in NZ in our processed food, and stock food for our stock. Have a
look at the trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eKYyD14d_0 and then come and see the whole film.
If you have missed a film that you would really like to see, Juliet often has them available on laptop, so could arrange to get them to
you to look at. Let Juliet know if you want any films that have been shown and she will tell you how she got hold of it.

LIFT Library Update Hello LIFT Library members. The latest addition to the LIFT Library is a quick read, full of interest: Organic NZ Mar/Apr 2013 Vol 72
No 2. This issue, again kindly contributed by Project Lyttelton, features foraging and fungi; the loss of bee hives in New Zealand;
Canterbury Community Gardens; and several important articles on genetic engineering and poisons in our world, not just overseas.
Lots of practical tips too. Important reading.
A book which was donated to the library some time ago, and was snapped up before I even had time to write some notes on it, has
come back to LIFT. A glance at a few pages has convinced me that this is my next “must-read” so you’ll have to wait a few days for
it! Even though it’s not new, I’m sure it will tell me lots that’s new to me:
Corporate Predators: The Hunt for Mega-Profits and The Attack on Democracy 1999 Russell Mokhiber, Robert Weissman
51 of the world’s biggest 100 economies are corporations, not countries. As the most powerful institution of our time, the
multinational corporation dominates not only global economics, but politics and culture as well. Yet the mechanisms of corporate
control have remained largely hidden from public perception – until now. Noam Chomsky writes: ‘ The incisive and sharply focused
snapshots presented here give a telling portrait of some of the most dangerous forces undermining what is decent and hopeful in
American and global society.’
Collections of Articles
For a long time I’ve been saving up articles I have ripped out of magazines and newspapers, or had passed on to me, that are
relevant to the topics in LIFT. Now I’ve decided to organise them in plastic sleeves and folders, in case anyone else wants some
quick reads on certain topics. I was stimulated to do this because I received the following, and strongly recommend it to all:
FOOD The first article is a comprehensive one from The New York Times – “The Extraordinary Science of Addictive Junk Food” by
Michael Moss. This very enlightening article gives details of the techniques used by commercial food producers to encourage
greater consumption of their decidedly unhealthy products. After reading this you will know which brands and ingredients to avoid,
if you want to stay healthy!
And, just to let you know Icelandic activist, Hordur Torfason, will be speaking in Christchurch on Tuesday 26th March. It will be a
must hear talk on how Iceland dealt with the collapse of their privatized banking system. Please circulate amongst your networks.

Today’s quote:
It’s not hard to meet expenses ……. They’re everywhere

Norwich and Gladstone Quays Road Works Update Mid February wastewater and storm water pipe repairs began on Norwich and Gladstone Quays. Road surface repairs start after
Easter weekend and expected to finish in May.
Tunnel Road Motorway Bridge Repairs Fletcher as part of SCIRT has been working on the Horotane Valley overpass since October 2012 repairing the bridge piers. The
repair of the piers is nearly complete and the next phase of work involves repairing the bridge decks. We will be doing some
preparation work first. The preparation work involves removing some vegetation and building a temporary road between the
between the northbound and southbound lanes of SH74. This will allow two-way traffic flow when we work on the bridge decks.
The preparation work starts Monday 18 March, 2013 and will continue for two weeks. We do not have a start date for work on the
bridge decks at present but we will update you when we do.

EQC Land Assessments Underway EQC are assessing land damage claims, and this assessment process will continue for the rest of this year.
A huge number of variables come into play in settling a land claim, and these call on quite specialised skills. Some of these skills are
in limited supply – including people capable of undertaking geotechnical evaluation of the information reported back by the
assessment teams, and people with good knowledge of the local property market who can help with establishing the value of the
land in question. This doesn’t affect EQC’s target of having all assessments of all damaged land completed by the end of this year,
but it does mean that it may take longer than first anticipated to begin making payments. EQC will be paying the most straight
forward claims sooner than the more complex claims [such as those involving increased vulnerability to liquefaction and flooding].
EQC have begun making payments in the Port Hills region and expect all land claims to be settled during 2013. From March,
customers whose land damage falls under the $500 minimum excess for land claims will receive a letter advising them of this. This
is because assessors found only minor earthquake-related damage on these properties. EQC estimates that they will pay out a
possible $2 billion for land claims in Canterbury by the end of 2014.

Banks Peninsula ZIP Endorsed by Council The Banks Peninsula Zone Implementation Programme [ZIP] for water management was endorsed by Environment Canterbury at
its council meeting on Thursday 14 March. Working with its community to develop water management recommendations for the
zone has been the key focus for the committee since it formed in September 2011. These recommendations now form the basis for
the design and realignment of council work and planning programmes for fresh water in the zone.
The ZIP includes ten chapters, with each chapter focussing on a different priority area for water management. It is designed to
enable present and future generations the greatest environmental, cultural, social and economic benefits from the region’s water.
Now that the committee has an agreed set of water management recommendations it will turn its focus to implementing the
on-the-ground actions outlined in its ZIP.
At its second monthly committee meeting of the year, on Tuesday 19 March in Akaroa, the committee will focus on how it can track
the progress of achieving the goals and recommendations outlined in the ZIP. The committee will also look at biodiversity and
wetland protection in the zone. The Banks Peninsula ZIP recommends that two wetlands should be chosen for protection and
regeneration in the next six months.
The ZIP also sets specific criteria for Immediate Steps biodiversity funding support, which is allocated by zone committees. At the
meeting the committee will be updated on biodiversity projects in the zone by Environment Canterbury. Immediate Steps is a
$10 million programme for biodiversity which forms part of the Canterbury Water Management Strategy. It aims to halt the decline
of our natural waterways by supporting initiatives which protect of indigenous biodiversity and water quality. The Immediate Steps
fund contributes up to two-thirds of the project, with one third required from applicants in cash or in-kind.
Another key focus for the committee is on developing recommendations for water quality and quantity limits for Te Roto o
Wairewa (Lake Forsyth). These limits will be incorporated in to the Wairewa Sub-Regional Chapter, which will feed in to
Environment Canterbury’s proposed Land and Water Regional Plan. Te Roto o Wairewa (Lake Forsyth) is a key focus for the
committee, with 13 recommendations relating to its value, protection, and enhancement included in its ZIP. At the meeting, the
committee will also receive an update from the Regional Committee, which considers regional issues of environmental restoration
and repair; land use impacts on water quality; as well as water storage, distribution and efficiency options. The Banks Peninsula
Zone Committee typically meets on the third Tuesday of each month. Zone Committee meetings are open to the public, and
attendees will be offered an opportunity to contribute, if they wish.
Next Banks Peninsula Zone Committee meeting 10.00am, Tuesday 19 March at the Akaroa Sports Complex, 28 Rue Jolie, Akaroa

All Right? Campaign Developed by Research As part of developing All Right? the Healthy Christchurch organisation spoke to community leaders, undertook focus groups, and carried out a phone survey of 800 people in Christchurch, Waimakariri and Selwyn. Research showed that there are large chunks of the Christchurch population who are struggling and who would benefit from tools and support to improve their wellbeing. Key qualitative findings � People feel there has been a 'double blow'. The stress and anxiety caused by dealing with insurance, repairs, and the
agencies involved in the recovery has resulted in a 'double blow' which for many has proved more debilitating than the earthquakes.
� There is a need for a more 'people-focused' recovery. There is a sense that people have been forgotten and that buildings are more important than people.
� The most important supports for people are family and close friends, followed by the community � 90% of respondents had made an insurance or EQC claim, and by November 2012 69% of these had not been settled. � 83% value other people more since before the earthquakes � 64% feel guilty that others have been much more affected by the earthquakes. � 64% do not believe that people outside Canterbury understand what Cantabrians are going through. Overall the research paints a very complex picture of where people are with their wellbeing. On the one hand people are struggling with specifics - things like dealing with insurers and repairs. On the other there's a new found sense of hope and optimism for the future.
Focus groups People who took part in the focus groups felt that: � The impact of the earthquakes and the subsequent management of the recovery has resulted in a 'double blow'
� A focus on buildings has meant people have been forgotten
� There needs to be greater community input into decisions
� The most important supports for people are family and close friends, and then community
� Energy levels are low right across the community
� Any campaign needs to convey the message that what they are feeling is 'normal'
� Any campaign needs to feel 'real' and not be 'done' to them.
