No plans to rebuild units
• By Bridget Rutherford
REDCLIFFS residents fear social
housing units on a $1 million
piece of land overlooking the
estuary will never be rebuilt.
The city council has begun
demolishing blocks A and B of
Avonheath Courts, Beachville
Rd, because they suffered damage
in the September 2010 and
February 2011 quakes.
The C block, nearest Beachville
Rd, will be repaired and
strengthened, although one
badly damaged unit is being
demolished.
Redcliffs Residents’ Association
says the units should
have been repaired rather than
demolished, but the city council
says it was not cost-effective to
do so.
The city council-owned site
has a land value of $1,060,000.
Residents’ association acting
chairman Chris Doudney said
it was “sad” the city council had
no current plans to rebuild on
the site.
Pensioner units on Raekura
Tce were lost due to the risk of
rockfall following the quakes,
and Etheridge Court on Main
Rd was being sold, he said.
“We lost a lot of pensioner
housing in Redcliffs because of
the earthquakes. Redcliffs would
really like to see its social housing
balance restored.”

Chris Doudney says the Avonheath Courts units should not be
demolished.

He said the units were on a
prime site, and could have been
repaired to a usable standard
so they could be lived in while
a permanent rebuild could be
planned.
But city council head of housing
Carolyn Gallagher said the
repair costs were “significantly
higher” than new-build costs, but
would not say what they were.
“Future use of the site is yet to
be determined by the council,”
she said.
The city council wanted to
close all the units following the
quakes, but residents fought for
some of them to remain open,
because tenants would have
nowhere to go.
Eleven of the 17 units at the
complex were later vacated in
2013. Both blocks are expected to
be demolished by August, while
C block’s remaining seven units
would be repaired to 67 per cent
of the new building standard.
HAVE YOUR SAY: Do you
think blocks A and B of
Avonheath Courts should be
demolished? Does Redcliffs
need more social housing?

MOVING MISHAPS AT ECAN OFFICE
Moving can be a pain – but at least two
Environment Canterbury staff members
felt it more than most when the regional
council shifted into its new Tuam St
offices in April.
Within the first two weeks, one
person walked into the glass surround
of the revolving door on the ground
level, receiving a bruised temple
and a headache.
NEWS 17
A second person walked into the glass
balustrade on the ground floor stairs
bruising their upper arm. Both were put
on light duties for two days.
ECan spokeswoman Katherine
Trought said moving 406 staff into a new
office building was a little like moving
into a new house, “where you bump
into things until you work out how to
navigate your way around.”

Lake quality improves
• By Bridget Rutherford
LAKE FORSYTH’S condition
has improved “remarkably”
with the recent rainfall after
recurring toxic algal blooms
flared up, killing animals.
Banks Peninsula Water Zone
Committee chairman Steve
Lowndes said the rainfall had
had a positive impact on the
lake’s water quality and condition.
“The water in the lake has
improved remarkably since the
rain and bad weather.
“It breaks up the algal bloom
and the wind has been blowing
left, right and centre.”
Last week, from Monday
night to Wednesday morning
the Cooptown weather station
near Little River recorded about
65ml of rain.
Mr Lowndes lives next to the
lake, which runs from Birdlings
Flat towards Little River.
The lake’s quality came under
fire in April when the algal
bloom flared up after a run of
dry weather.
The water was green with
toxic slime, and it was reported
30 sheep had died after drinking
it.
Environment Canterbury
AT ITS FINEST: Environment Canterbury expects to see Lake
Forsyth’s condition improve further in the coming weeks, so
its health warning can be lifted.
science water manager Tim
Davie said the latest results from
sampling were from May 24.
“The concentrations of nodularia
(the toxic cyanobacteria) as
of May 24 have declined but are
still high enough to warrant a
health warning,” he said.
“We expect these to decline
significantly in the next two
weeks given the cold weather
and significant rain but at
present we have advised Canterbury
District Health Board of
the need for a continued health
warning.”
Wairewa Runanga and the
city council were granted a consent
in March to continue using
the pilot opening from the lake
to the sea for 35 years.
Lake Forsyth, or Wairewa, is
the only customary lake in the
South Island.
Ngai Tahu has the customary
title over it, meaning only iwi
members can fish for eel from
the lake.
In Brief
ACTION ON INTERSECTION
A city council committee has
asked staff to make the St
Andrews Hill and Bridle Path
Rds intersection a priority.
The infrastructure, Transport
and Environment Committee
asked city council staff last
week to investigate, as a priority,
options to improve the usability
and safety of the intersection,
particularly the turning from
St Andrews Hill Rd. Staff will
report back to the committee
in six to eight weeks. It comes
after the Hagley-Ferrymead
Community Board called for
changes after a report criticised
its lay-out and a cyclist was
knocked off his bike there last
month. Residents are urged to
report any accidents to the city
council on 941 8999.
SPEED LIMIT CHANGES
The speed limit on part of Mt
Pleasant Rd could be lowered
from 70km/h to 50km/h as
part of a review of speed limits
across the city. The proposed
new limit would begin 300m
east of Moncks Spur Rd to
50m south of Upper Major
Hornbrook Rd. The city council
is proposing the changes to 31
streets across the city, including
two in the central city, because
they are new growth areas.
People can have their say on the
plan until June 21 on the city
council website.
CAFES SMOKE-FREE
Café Metro Ferrymead, Joe’s
Garage Sumner and Coffee Culture
Sumner are among 18 cafes
that will make their outdoor
dining areas smoke-free this
summer. The businesses have
agreed to be part of the Cancer
Society and Canterbury District
Health Board’s Fresh Air
Project which gets businesses
in the hospitality sector to trial
smoke-free outdoor dining for a
six month period. The trial will
begin on November 1. Compliance
is voluntary and not
enforced by the city council.
BIRDLINGS FLAT CENTRE
The Akaroa-Wairewa Community
Board will decide today
whether to grant a deed of lease
to the Little River Wairewa
Community Trust for the new
Birdlings Flat Community Centre.
The new centre, which will
be built next to the playground
on Poranui Beach Rd, will be
Birdlings Flat’s first community
facility. The term of lease, if
approved today, will be for 33
years, as a peppercorn rental.

Ohinetahi
tracks open
ALL OF Ohinetahi Reserve’s
walking tracks are now open
after being closed since the
earthquakes.
The 150 ha reserve above
Governors Bay is owned by the
Summit Road Society.
Following the February 2011
earthquake, the tracks had to be
closed until a geotechnical study
had been carried out to assess the
risk of rockfall.
A lot of the tracks were
reopened late last year, but the
remainder of the tracks are now
ready for use.
A large, car-sized rock was
removed from a bluff overlooking
Faulkners Track, so the track
could be reopened.
The reserve was bought by the
society in the early 1990s from
the O’Farrell estate, before being
turned into a reserve.
Since then it has been managed
by a team of volunteers, who
built and maintained a network
of tracks.
The main access to the reserve
is off Ernest Adams Drive and
Bay View Heights in Governors
Bay.
Access is also available from
Summit Rd, south of the Sign of
the Takahe.
Fantastic Home Show returns
THERE IS less than a month to
go until the doors open on the
The Star Home & Leisure Show.
More than 12,000 people
visited the show last year, which
runs over Friday, Saturday and
Sunday, July 1 to 3.
The show features the latest
trends and technology for home
building or renovation, as well
as special deals on everything
from spa pools to campervans.
You can talk directly with the
experts there to get advice or
tips, or take the opportunity to
try new products or technology.
There will also be plenty of
prizes on offer, including a
$25,000 central heating system,
thanks to Central Heating NZ.
•The show will be held at
Horncastle Arena from
July 1-3 from 10am to 5pm.

www.starhomeshow.co.nz
SHOW
HAVING A remote control
home is no longer the stuff of
science fiction.
If you have the technology,
you can now turn your heating
on while you’re on your way
home, set a crock-pot to start
your dinner cooking, and check
up instantly on your home if a
security or fire alarm goes off to
see if it’s a danger or just a false
alarm.
Although the technology has
existed for several years, it has
been expensive and complicated
to install.
Startup company Morepork’s
goal is to make the technology
accessible to anyone.
Chief executive Gemma
Croombs said its systems could
be installed simply yourself,
with simple plug in cameras
and control panels and wireless
alarms and sensors.
“People have the perception
IN YOUR HAND: Chief executive Gemma Croombs using
the Morepork app, which allows you to remotely control
your security system and home automation technology.
you can only have them if
you’re building and you can put
cable all through your home,
but it doesn’t have to be like that
anymore.”
The company, which was
backed by Spark, launched in
August last year, but she said
the technology was already
growing.
“One of the things we’re testing
at the moment is a smart
door bell which sets up voice
call, so if someone’s there to
drop off a package you can say
just drop off, don’t leave me to
pick it up from the depot on my
weekend. Or if you have a smart
lock, you can just remotely open
the door and let them in.”
As new technology was developed,
she said it could be added
on to the same system.
She plans to be at The Star
Home & Leisure Show with her
team, with several systems set
up for people to play with there,
and special deals on offer.
Do you have a leaky home?
The Financial Assistance Package, which
helps people with a contribution to repair
leaky homes, is closing to new claims on
23 July 2016.
To give time for an assessment to be
undertaken, applications should be with
MBIE by 27 June 2016.
Go to building.govt.nz/FAP for
more information or to apply for
financial assistance.

Queen honours locals
HISTORY: Charles Crofts was a negotiator for Ngai Tahu in the deed of settlement. He is
pictured here sharing a hongi with minister in charge of Treaty of Waitangi negotiations Doug
Graham, after the settlement was signed.
A SUMNER sports broadcaster
and a man who led Ngai Tahu
through the critical stages of the
deed of settlement have both
been recognised in the Queen’s
Birthday Honours list.
Lesley Murdoch and Charles
Crofts were both made officers
of the New Zealand Order of
Merit on Monday. They were
among 13 Cantabrians to be
named.
Mrs Murdoch was recognised
for services to sport.
She has been a sports broadcaster
for more than three
decades, after representing New
Zealand in hockey and cricket.
She is a netball and hockey
commentator and hosts a
weekly Saturday morning sports
talk-back show for Newstalk ZB.
Mrs Murdoch served on the
Board of New Zealand Cricket,
a term on the Board of New
Zealand Hockey, and is currently
on the Netball New Zealand
Board, with a focus on sport in
Canterbury post-quake.
She was also a member of the
committee which undertook a
sweeping review of New Zealand
Cricket in 1995.
Mr Crofts was recognised for
services to Maori.
He is currently chairman of
Koukourarata Rūnanga, Port
Levy, and director of Koukourarata
Development Company.
Mr Crofts led Ngai Tahu
through the critical stages of the
Ngai Tahu Deed of Settlement
between 1993 and 1996.
He was mandated by Te
Runanga o Ngai Tahu to manage
the negotiations process,
and personally charged with
maintaining tribal cohesion.
The Ngāi Tahu Settlement Act
was signed in 1998.

BUS FARE HIKE DROPPED
Bus fares, including Diamond
Harbour Ferry, will only increase
by 2.5 per cent, rather than
the originally proposed 10 per
cent. Environment Canterbury
announced last week that it had
taken on board the communities’
feedback about the proposed 10
per cent rise in its draft annual
plan. Detail on the timing and
exact fares for bus users will
be released before the fare rises
come into effect in July.
INTERSECTION FEEDBACK
Diamond Harbour residents have
until June 16 to have their say on
plans to make safety improvements
to the Marine Drive and
Ranui Crescent east intersection.
The city council wants to
install a no right turning sign
from Marine Drive onto Ranui
Crescent. A right turn onto Ranui
Crescent will be maintained via
the Marine Drive, Ranui Crescent
west intersection. It comes after
residents were concerned about
the lack of visibility at the intersection.
Submissions can be made
on the city council website.
REDCLIFFS DECISION DUE
Education Minister Hekia Parata
is expected to make her final
decision on whether to close
Redcliffs School this month. Representatives
from the school met
with Minister Parata in Christchurch
last month to go over the
key points and messages in the
school’s submission. Minster
Parata told the representatives she
would deliver a decision in June.
ENERGY HELP EXTENDED
A community project has just
reached its three-year target
of improving 250 homes, six
months ahead of schedule. The
Repair Well project, funded by
New Zealand Red Cross and
implemented by Community
Energy Action Charitable Trust
installs extra energy efficiency
measures during earthquake
repairs for vulnerable homeowners.
As CEA has completed the
project ahead of time and under
budget, the organisation is able to
help households needing earthquake
repairs until December.

Latest Budget missed
the big issues
Port Hills
Labour MP
Ruth Dyson
says the
Government’s
Budget is
disappointing
Every year the Government
presents a Budget – the allocation
of funding to all Government
department and agencies.
This signals the priorities that
the Government thinks need addressing
over the coming years.
It shows the surplus or deficit
the Government is running and
gives economic forecasts.
There is always a clamber prior
to the Budget, with different
groups calling for different priorities
– one of the many advantages
of living in a democracy
with freedom of the press. And
we know that not all those calls
can be met.
But even with that caveat, I
think this Budget has been a
big disappointment. There are
some burning issues that need a
bucket of water, and they barely
rated a trickle.
There is no commitment to
fix the housing crisis. Selling
our state houses to community
providers does not increase the

social housing available, and that
increase is desperately needed.
Canterbury health funding
continues to fall behind the level
of funding other parts of the
country get – and undoubtedly
we have an increased need with
post-quake stress issues still
evident.
All schools have had their
operational grant funding level
frozen. This is deeply distressing;
particularly for those schools
which had their decile level
increased in the recent review
and have lost thousands of dollars
because of this already. With
a frozen fund, they will just fall
behind every year and I know
that there is no spare money in
those budgets currently.
The Budget was a bit of a hotch
potch of policies which didn’t really
give any indication of a plan
to make New Zealand fairer or
stronger. The National Government
failed to invest so that the
opportunities to buy a house, get
a job and build a future would be
available to everyone.
That’s the sort of society New
Zealand has always prided itself
on being and with the right
investment in the Budget, it’s the
sort of society New Zealand can
become once again.

Bay Harbour News asked its
readers what changes they
would like made to the St
Andrews Hill and Bridle Path
Rds intersection:
Kathy Kerr:
I live in Sumner and work in
Lyttelton. On several occasions
I have been cut off by drivers
coming down fast off St Andrews
Hill and failing to give way at the
sign. I have been turning left into
Bridle Path Rd on a green light
at the time. At the very least, I
would like to see a ‘Stop’ sign
on St Andrews Hill Rd instead
of the ‘Give Way sign’ which
is there at the moment. Lights
would be better.
A. Edwards:
This corner is a disaster and
it is only a matter of time before
there is a really serious accident
and/or fatality. This intersection
design can only have been
completed by people who sit in
a room without windows and
never go outside. Yes, lights

would assist. But as well they
need to lose the triangular
island shown at the right of
your photo. If it is actually
necessary to have traffic lights
there they should be suspended
from overhead cables. The traffic
light poles on this island are a
hazard in themselves. Removing
the island would allow another
lane to be formed for the traffic
flowing along Bridle Path Rd, i.e
travelling towards the estuary. So
that would provide two left turning
lanes for both traffic flows, i.e
Bridle Path and St Andrews Hill
Rds, which should allow each
phase to clear without backing
up.
Michael Chapman:
Traffic signals at the base of St
Andrews Hill Rd would be a big
improvement, but only if there
is proper synchronisation with
the lights at Ferry Rd and Bridle
Path Rd. That synchronisation
needs to ensure that traffic will
flow in a smooth and coherent
manner through the light, and
that blockages will not occur.

Your Local Views
Readers respond to Richard
Suggate’s Soap Box column
about the Diamond Harbour
Ferry:
Erica Henderson:
Re: your request for feedback
on whether the Diamond Harbour
Ferry links well with the
bus timetable.
I regularly use the ferry to
travel to and from work. It works
fine in the mornings, but the
return journey home is a bit hit
and miss. I have regularly had
to sprint to the ferry and on a
couple of occasions have missed
it completely – sometimes its an
hour until the next one.
I always ask the driver to
radio through to the ferry, some
do and some don’t. Having said
that, on one occasion recently,
the bus driver radioed through
several times but the ferry pilot
didn’t respond. On that occasion
it was the passengers on the ferry
that alerted the pilot that there
were passengers sprinting from
the bus.
I feel the problem has several
angles:
• Traffic in the evenings means
the buses are always running up
to 10min late when leaving the
exchange. Sometimes they make
the time up, but not always.
• The ferry and the bus services
see themselves as two separate
services, rather than one service
being offered by two companies.
Therefore neither company takes
responsibility for providing a
seamless service for its Diamond
Harbour commuters. It would
be a simple matter for both ferry
pilot and bus driver to always call
ahead to check if there are passengers
for the ferry.
• The time the journey takes
– if I took my car to work I
could be there and at my desk in
45min. With the bus, it is over an
hour when I include the time to
drive to the ferry from Charteris
Bay. Added to that the lack of
flexibility to do things after work
and the unreliability of the ferry
connection. If there was an express
bus during peak periods, it
would make the commute much
more attractive.
• Bus route out of the tunnel
– if the bus went straight to the
ferry then dropped off Lyttelton
passengers, rather than doing the
Lyttelton circuit first, it would
save several minutes – vital when
trying to make those connections.
Just a few thoughts to ponder –
I really enjoy taking the ferry and
would really love a solution to
this ongoing problem. It doesn’t
seem that hard
Jane Wade:
As a commuter a few months
post-knee surgery (and so less
mobile than most of the commuters)
using the Diamond Harbour
Ferry/Metro Bus service to travel
to work most weekdays I have
the following observations: the
disability-friendly route between
ferry and bus is longer than
the route taken by able-bodied
travellers as a consequence when
walking from the ferry to the bus
stop, I am well behind the other
commuters walking to the bus
stop, even though I am walking
my fastest.
This is stressful as there is
the potential for me to miss my
connecting bus. Returning from
town on the bus to catch the ferry
on two recent occasions when the
bus has been running late I have
asked the bus driver to radio the
ferry to advise there are bus passengers
coming. The bus drivers
radio, with no response from the
ferry. On both occasions when
asked, the ferry skippers had not
heard the bus driver’s call. As the
ferry skippers cannot now see the
bus letting off passengers, I rely
on the co-ordination between
the bus and the ferry in order to
catch the ferry the bus is timed
to meet. Equally when the ferry
skipper tries to radio the bus, I
find that the bus driver has not
heard the call.
Governors Bay residents are
calling for a lower speed
limit and more signage to
try and help curb boy racer
problems in the area.
Roseanna Smith:
My husband and I live in Cass
Bay and we are frequently woken
at all hours of the night by loud
car noise from boy racers. They
are going at a tremendous speed
around the corners.
We fear that one day they will
go over the hill. Not only could
they kill or injure themselves, but
they could injury others with cars
smashing into houses. I seriously
doubt whether lower speed limits
or more signage will have any
deterrent effect on these people.
They have no regard for speed
limits whatsoever. What is
needed is speed cameras and
increased police presence.

Postal and banking
services now
offered in Ferrymead
PostShop manager Carrie, left, and her assistants Kim and Sharmaine
Take Note Ferrymead have a full range of NZ Post services, plus books, stationery, cards and so much more.
Residents from Woolston through
to Sumner now have the benefit of
local NZ Post and Kiwibank services
seven days a week, thanks to Take
Note in Ferrymead.
The popular book and stationery store
has taken on the franchise for the postal and
banking services, with the new franchise
operation, Take Note Ferrymead PostShop and
Kiwibank, open for business as of May 19.
“Being open seven days a week means we’ll be
available when people need us,” says PostShop
manager Carrie.
“By opening at the weekend we’re catering
to working people who can’t get to the bank or
Post Office during the week.”
Carrie brings 11 years’ experience managing
PostShops to her new Ferrymead role, while
her two assistants, Kim and Sharmaine, are also
experienced PostShop staff.
Take Note owners Barry and Kerry moved
their business from neighbouring premises
into the former Video Ezy site several months
ago in preparation for setting up the NZ Post
and Kiwibank franchise, as they were keen to
provide an even wider range of services for their
customers.
PostShop facilities include bill paying for telco
companies, power companies and The Press,
vehicle registration and diesel miles. Kiwibank
customers can set up bank accounts, automatic
bill payments and deposit and withdraw cash,
while those wanting to enquire about obtaining
a Kiwibank mortgage can have an appointment
arranged with a mobile mortgage manager at a
time to suit.
Since establishing Take Note Ferrymead
(formerly Paper Plus Ferrymead) 14 years ago,
Barry and Kerry have built up a strong and loyal
customer base from across the Bay Harbour
News readership area by offering friendly
service and an extensive selection of books,
magazines, stationery, toys, gifts, greeting cards
and wrapping paper.
The wide range of book titles includes travel
books, recipe books, novels and children’s
books. Home and office stationery supplies
include everything from printing paper and
ink cartridges to notepads and exercise books,
filing systems and paper clips.
Customers can browse through an
attractive range of gift items, including locally
manufactured items, or alternatively there are
gift cards and Prezzy Cards in a range of values.
Ferrymead is one of the city’s fastest-growing
retail and business areas, and Take Note
Ferrymead PostShop and Kiwibank is ideally
located among a mix of other business outlets
including hardware, supermarket, cafes and
professional services.
There is extensive off-street parking available
at the front and rear of the store and a bus stop
close by on Ferry Road.
Opening hours are Monday to Friday,
8.30am to 5.30pm, Saturday 9am to 5.30pm
and Sunday 10am to 5pm.

Our People
Kim Morton
Lawyer’s new ambition: to help the
Otautahi Creative
Spaces Trust manager
Kim Morton talks to
Fraser Walker-Pearce
about reducing social
isolation through art,
training as a lawyer and
her favourite place in
the city
Kim, tell me a bit about
what you do for the Otautahi
Creative Spaces Trust.
I guess I lead the programme
and we run art programmes. At
the moment we run at Phillipstown
and Aranui Libraries but
we are looking to expand across
the city into other community
hubs. Our mission is using art to
boost people’s wellbeing. We’re
especially looking to work with
people that have experienced
mental illness, earthquake
trauma and social isolation. We
provide opportunities for people
to connect with their community
as well.
How long has it been running?
It’s been going for just over a
year now, but we had a low profile
for our first six months. But
since the start of the year we’ve
had quite a surge of interest in
our programmes. We’re very
excited because it means we need
to expand them now, and we’re
looking for support to do that.
Where is the programme
based?
The base is Phillipstown
Community Hub, in the old Phillipstown
School, which closed at
the end of 2014. We’re here along
with a whole lot of other fantastic
EXCITED:

Trust, and

classes.
community initiatives. Aranui
also presents a great opportunity
because the team there is really
passionate about serving their
community. We know libraries are
the living room of communities
and people go there because they
feel welcome and it’s a free space.
And the feedback you’ve
received has been positive?
The feedback has been fantastic.
What people love is that it’s participant
driven, so artists choose
the art forms they’re interested
in, and they do that. The environment
they’re in is without any
pressure to produce, just heaps of
encouragement. People have said
it’s a really inspiring environment
to be in. It’s not a structured class
as such, anyone could be working
on anything – like sculptures,
printmaking, and calligraphy.
Sometimes the participants will
need encouragement and suggestions,
but most people settle
in to what they want to be doing.
If someone’s stuck we help them
though.
Has the programme been successful
for the artists?
Some people have come in and
worked in this space, and they’ve
had work feature in national
exhibitions. We’ve had three
people gain scholarships through
The Learning Connexion but
also people are feeling like they
have a sense of belonging to
something creative and belonging
to a new community. They’ve
said they’ve made friends. And
from that they’re more engaged
in their community.
Has this project been set up
by the city council, or independently?
It’s an independent community
charitable trust. We have
had great support from Creative
New Zealand, the city council
and the Rata Foundation. Not
only that but we are finding that
we are being given a lot of support
in terms of art materials,
which is a fabulous endorsement
for the trust.
How full are your classes?
Funny you should say that actually,
we have a waiting list for
the Phillipstown groups. There’s
currently a lot of work being
done looking at whether a

community through teaching art
community hub could be set
up in the closed Central New
Brighton School, and we’re hoping
we might be able to share a
space in that facility.
So how did this all come
about?
About 20 years ago I managed
a community art space in
Masterton and I’d been aware
of the gap in Christchurch for
some time, but it was only after
the earthquakes that it kind of
galvanised my energy and so I
decided to kick-start something
here. There’s a network of spaces
like this around the country, so I
had good relationships with the
people involved there and then
we did some research which was
funded by Creative New Zealand,
and it looked at the need and how
something should be set up here.
It’s not something you can just
transplant from one city to the
other, Masterton is a small town.
In post-earthquake Christchurch,
opportunities to connect with
others creatively in your local
community seemed more important.
How long have you been in
Christchurch then?
I’ve been here for 15 years,
and was in Masterton before, for
about three years, but I was born
in Auckland. I’ve lived in lots of
different places, but Christchurch
is home now.
Oh good to hear. Where are
your favourite spots?
My favourite in Christchurch is
Taylors Mistake. But in New Zealand,
it’d be the Cavalli Islands in
Northland.
Do you have any family down
here?
I have two boys, who are 17
and 13. They keep me on my toes.
They’re both at Hagley Community
College, and they’re enjoying
that. I’m not sure what they want
to do, but as long as they do what
they’re passionate about, I’m
good with that.
And where in the city are you
guys based?
We’re in Lyttelton. The kids
love it because of the hills and the
sea, and the great landscape.
That’s a bit of a trek to work
each day?
Yes that’s a point, I don’t live
in the communities I’m working
in. That means that it’s even
more important to have a strong
relationship with the community.
We’ve designed some projects
that are around the identity and
stories of Phillipstown – photography
and poetry projects that
combine with Ara Institute of
Canterbury, and local residents,
and what Phillipstown means for
them. That’s only just started.
Where did you go to
school then?
I went to school in Auckland,
to Westlake Girls High School. It
was just the one up the road from
where we lived at the time.
Did you ever have a mentor, or
a big influence that taught you
art?
Some people do have an outstanding
person in their life, but
this is hard for me. I guess mine
was Sue McBride, who was an
outstanding art teacher. I really
enjoyed art at school because of
her, so that probably did sow the
seed.
What did you do after that?
I’ve had quite a few different
aspects of my work. One is in
law, I trained for law, and didn’t
know if I’d take it further after I
studied it. I specialised in social
justice and community law. And
in a way there’s quite a connection
between those studies and
what I do now.
DISCUSSIONS:
Kim Morton and
Creative New
Zealand’s Chris
Archer discuss
the future of
the Otautahi
Creative Spaces
Trust.
And did you use the degree?
Did you have any law jobs?
Yes, I did. I guess it must have
been 20 years on and off using
it. The earthquakes made me
question what I was doing, and
I decided to put my energy into
creativity and wellbeing projects.
Life’s short, if I can make a difference,
then I should. And for me
it was around this idea of art and
creativity in Christchurch that
was the best way I could do that.

Queen’s Birthday honours List
Star Media chairman honoured
• By Gabrielle Stuart
STAR MEDIA chairman Nick
Smith has been recognised in
the Queen’s Birthday Honours
for more than 50 years work in
media and sport.
He was named an officer of the
New Zealand Order of Merit on
Monday.
Star Media is the publisher
of the Bay Harbour News, several
community newspapers
in Christchurch, The Star and
magazines. The company also
broadcasts CTV.
Mr Smith started work at the
Christchurch Star in 1965, as an
advertising cadet.
“It was the heyday of newspapers.
You weren’t competing for eyeballs.
I spent two and a half years there,
and it was fantastic. I still have a
lot of friends from those days, we
had a lot of fun together. We used
to have boxing tournaments in the
lunchroom,” he said.
He went on to become a director
of Allied Press, publisher
of the Otago Daily Times, and
chairman of CTV.
Although he was a major
shareholder, he said he stayed
in the background at CTV
for several years, leaving the
running of the company to
managing director Murray
Wood.
But when Mr Wood was killed
in the collapse of the building in
the February 2011 earthquake,
Mr Smith said he was suddenly
thrust into management of the
station.
He remembered the first meeting
the day after the earthquake,
sitting in a dark room without
power talking about the future
with his distraught staff.
“It would have
made more sense to take the insurance
money and close the station,
but to me that would mean
we let the staff and the victims’
families down. That to me was
the deciding factor.”
He has also played a key
role in sport over the years, helping
to develop Hagley Park, form
the University Oval Redevelopment
Trust and raise $2 million
to establish the first cricket
ground in Dunedin.
He has also sponsored and
donated to many community
groups and organisations working
in the South Island.
“My philosophy has always
been what’s good for the
province is what’s good for the
business, and what’s good for
the company is good for the
province.”
RECOGNISED: Star Media chairman Nick Smith was named an officer of the New Zealand Order
of Merit in the Queen’s Birthday Honours on Monday.

SCHOOLS
RUNNERS: The Our Lady Star of the Sea School pupils
competed at the Zones Cross Country Championships held in
Ferrymead recently. Pictured is Frances Dougherty, Macklan
Robertson, Ruby Froggatt (front) Billy McLoughlin, Flynn Greig,
Charlie Cameron and Nico Heather (rear).
Redcliffs School pupils
have had a busy term
so far, with Year 6
camp, the beginning
of Hagley winter sport,
south east zones
cross country, and an
inquiry quiz about
sustainability.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE: Redcliffs
School’s four senior leaders
Claudia Peck, Tom Barker, Zack
Waite and Emilia Crooks, delivered
boxes of food to Christchurch
City Mission recently to go to less
fortunate families as it goes into
winter. The pupils meet regularly
to discuss ways they can lead in
school, but also make a difference
in the community. They will also
hold a sausage sizzle for Ronald
McDonald House, and the school
choir are going to sing to the
residents at Edith Cavell at Sumner.
Busy term for Redcliffs pupils
FOCUS: Junior pupils Noah
Drumm, Billie Feaver-
Banks, Charlie Davis and
Luke Cleugh get into their
sustainability inquiry quiz.
FUN: Sophie Didymus, Jade
Timbrell and Jorja Williams get
outdoors at the Year 6 camp.
GENEROUS: Ferrymead Rotary donated dictionaries to
Bromley School pupils recently to help them with their
English. Room 10 pupil Grace said the dictionaries were
“so cool”. “They are so easy to use at home – I love it.” Each
Room 10 pupil got their own dictionary to take home with
them. Heather Fear, of Ferrymead Rotary, said the club
was thrilled the children were enjoying the dictionaries. “It is
evident that the children really enjoy these books – maybe
they are the only books they have at home.” Ferrymead
Rotary has given dictionaries to several schools in the area.
The cost of the dictionaries is subsidised by the Bill and
Lorna Boyd Charitable Trust and the Lois Dalley Trust.
THEY’RE OFF: Pupils take off in the south
east zones cross country, where Redcliffs
pupils Charlie Bailey and Sam Clark won the
year 6 and year 8 boys races.
MUSIC: Redcliffs pupils David Wayne, Andrew
McLauchlan, Ollie Tinkler, Sophie Davis and
Annabelle Barker perform at their recorder recital.

Winter running
• By Fraser Walker-Pearce
EVEN AS the days get colder
and darker, the Sumner
Running Club is still getting out
into the wintry conditions to get
involved in races.
Recently the club took part in
both a road race event, held at
the A&P Showgrounds, and a
cross-country race, at Halswell
Quarry.
Young runners from Sumner
represented their high schools
in the competitions, with varying
results.
Sumner had eight runners
partake in the events, with
members running for Christchurch
Girls’ High School, St
Margaret’s College, Christ’s
College, Burnside High School
and Marian College.
The best performer over the
two days was Lili Ovendale,
who ran for Christchurch Girls’
in the under 14 girls section,
and was second in the road race
and fourth in the cross-country.
Her school took out both teams
titles.
Sumner Running Club junior
co-ordinator Ann Wells said
the two races couldn’t have been
run in more than contrasting
conditions.
“The road race had a warm
wind and was a mild 15 deg C,
compared to the cross-country
with 8 deg C and worsening
rain conditions, the latter
providing true cross-country
running conditions,” she said.
Abby Theobald ran for St
Margaret’s in the under 15 race,
and finished sixth in both races.
Christ’s College’s John Wells
ran in the under 14 races and
finished ninth and 10th respectively.
His school finished third
in both teams races.
Max McLachlan, of Burnside
High School, returned from a
broken collarbone to produce
a good performance, finishing
ninth in the road race, and sixth
SPORTS
DETERMINED: Abby Theobald took sixth spot in the under 15 race. While Beth Hunter finished
10th in the under 14 race for Rangi Ruru Girls’ School.
in the cross country.
In the senior girls, Marian
College sisters, Jess and Meg
Fahey, had to contend with
torrential rain which made for
slippery conditions underfoot.
They finished sixth and 13th,
respectively.
In Brief
AKAROA TO DUNEDIN
Akaroa Area School pupils have
been selected to compete at the
New Zealand Area Schools sports
tournament in July. Nine pupils
will represent the Top of the
South Island area school’s team,
which will travel to Dunedin to
compete. Moses Bygate Smith for
basketball and volleyball, Josh
Little for rugby, Robin Enosi for
rugby, Tommi Hopkins for rugby
and football, Sean Hopkins for
football and ki-o-rahi, Hannah
Kiely and Faith McLauchlan-
Robinson for netball, and
Sapphire Jordan and Drew
Wilson for ki-o-rahi. The Akaroa-
Wairewa Community Board will
decide today whether to grant the
school $1000 to go towards the
cost of competing at the event in
Dunedin.
BAYS TEAMS LOSSES
Rugby and football scorelines
were not pleasant for those supporting
the bay area teams on
the weekend. Sumner’s premier
rugby side lost to Christchurch
25-6 at Christchurch Park. Nik
Cumming scored the only points
for Sumner from the boot. Ferrymead
Bays’ top side also lost
away to Nelson Suburbs at Saxton
Fields 4-2. Bays have now played
12 games and have secured just
13 points. A consolation for the
bay area was Banks Peninsula’s
premier rugby side, who overcame
Rolleston 24-22 at Little River.
Tries went to Jared Buckley, two
for Tom Power and one for Jack
Sanders.

It’s all too easy to hibernate winter away,
enjoying comfort food as you avoid the bad
weather and think that you’ll start a diet
to get ready for summer sometime soon.
However the team at The apothecary at
The tannery believe nothing should get in
the way of educating ourselves to a healthy
lifestyle and achieving the right weight for
us.
Their six week course – Weight loss
101 – runs for an hour every Wednesday
evening starting on 20 th July. Its aim is to
teach the science that lies behind managing
weight so that we can make choices about
what we eat that are informed, rather than
relying on sound bites and gossip about the
latest trendy diet. They cover topics such
as what macro and micro nutrients are and
the benefits and drawbacks of each; the
importance of regulating blood sugar and
how it actually affects your body; how the
body works, and how it is affected by what
we eat. The course is highly motivational
and run in a supportive group environment
which helps keep those attending on their
toes, and the facilitators are highly trained
professionals who know how to make this
topic interesting and relevant to you and
your lifestyle.
The Internet is full of tips and short cuts
on the latest ways to lose weight, but Weight
loss 101 gives you the knowledge to be able
to separate the fads that are founded in fact
from those that are no more than a gimmick.
You will learn how to manage your weight
effectively so that once it’s been lost, it stays
lost. It is not about going on a diet - it’s
about learning what a healthy diet is and the
difference it can make to you, your energy
and your whole attitude to life. Because they
know that the course is packed full of useful
information, a course booklet is provided

which contains everything you

qualified herbalists and naturopaths at

knowledge and years of experience to help
their patients with a range of ailments, and

NOTIFICATION OF LIFTING OF
RESTRICTED FIRE SEASON
(IMPOSED PURSUANT TO SECTION
22(2) OF THE FOREST AND RURAL
FIRES ACT 1977)
CHRISTCHURCH CITY RURAL FIRE AREA
INCLUDING BANKS PENINSULA
Notice is hereby given that the restricted fire season
currently imposed by the Christchurch City Council
over the rural fire area for which the Council is the
Fire Authority is lifted from midnight Saturday 4 June
2016, to be replaced by an OPEN FIRE SEASON.
Fires may now be lit in the open air in rural areas
without permit. Restrictions may be reimposed at a
later date if weather conditions create a potentially
dangerous fire situation.
All residents are requested to take care when lighting
open fires. Before lighting fires in the open air,
careful consideration must be given to weather
conditions, adequacy of fire breaks, availability of
water, and the patrolling of fires until completely out.
Fires are not to be left burning after dark.
NOTE: Resource Consent conditions imposed by
Environment Canterbury may still apply.
Property owners within the Department of
Conservation Fire Safety Margin require a
permit all year round. Relevant authorities
should be contacted prior to any burning.
