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.” 

GOING: Redcliffs Residents’ Association acting chairman 

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. 

For more information, visit 

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.

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

Lawyer’s new ambition: to help the 

Otautahi Creative 

Spaces Trust manager

isolation through art,

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

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 

Cardiovascular Health 

Are you at Risk? 

Wednesday, June 22nd, 6:00pm 

which contains everything you 

need to know. Costing only 

$240 (working out at only $40 

per seminar), it’s a perfect way 

to leave yo-yo diets behind and 

embrace good health. You will 

receive a free sugar Destroyer worth $25) 

a formula used for thousands of years to 

support healthy blood sugar levels), and 

if you book before June 30th you will get 

the early bird discount which is $220 per 

person. 

Weight loss 101 is just one of an ongoing 

series of seminars run by the team of 

qualified herbalists and naturopaths at 

The apothecary. They draw on their 

knowledge and years of experience to help 

their patients with a range of ailments, and 

believe that with the right education, many 

common problems can be avoided.

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.

Helping Christchurch kids live fit!

alongside kids their age. We aim to get them 

interested in fitness from an early age, in a secure 

and fun environment. You and your child can 

bond and play together, or we can take care of 

them while you run errands or have some time 

to yourself!
