Last week, <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> would be Ann and Brent Stanaway,<br />
what a great tragedy it was<br />
News asked its readers<br />
what they thought of a plan when their very inspiring design<br />
to set up a Lyttelton Design was rejected by the powers that<br />
Review Panel to help be, and then to add insult to<br />
decide what could be built injury, they allowed the local primary<br />
to be built on the opposite<br />
there, and what buildings<br />
could look like.<br />
corner.<br />
Paul St John, of Cass <strong>Bay</strong> – Don’t get me wrong I actually<br />
What a great idea to have a panel like the school, but I think the<br />
to select different designs for the Stanaway house would have<br />
future of Lyttelton.<br />
complemented this whole corner<br />

National List<br />
MP Nuk Korako<br />
talks about a<br />
parliamentary<br />
intiative to<br />
support local<br />
charities<br />
On Saturday, September 3, I<br />
will have the pleasure of hosting<br />
the parliamentary rugby and<br />
netball teams for two charity<br />
matches here in Christchurch.<br />
For those of you who aren’t<br />
familiar with our parliamentary<br />
sports teams, each team is made<br />
up of MPs from both sides of the<br />
political spectrum as well as parliamentary<br />
staff. We play five to<br />
six games around New Zealand<br />
every year.<br />
While these games are a great<br />
opportunity for MPs and staff<br />
to demonstrate their athletic<br />
prowess, they also serve a much<br />
greater purpose of raising both<br />
money and awareness for local<br />
charities within our Kiwi communities.<br />
Next month’s games will be<br />
in support of two very special<br />
causes – Hohepa Canterbury,<br />
which creates opportunities for<br />
people with intellectual disabilities<br />
and autism to live full lives,<br />
and 0800 Hungry, a food bank<br />
that delivers emergency food<br />
parcels to people in need.<br />
I was fortunate enough to help<br />
out both these charities during<br />
Volunteer Week in June and was<br />
inspired by work they are doing<br />
I just hope the so-called powers<br />
that be reconsider the dumb<br />
decision to reject such a wonderful<br />
(in your words quirky)<br />
design. You only have to look at<br />
the Stanaway’s empty section to<br />
realise what could have been.<br />
Jeremy Agar, of Lyttelton –<br />
Lyttelton, Canterbury’s original<br />
town, has lost virtually all its<br />
heritage buildings and everyone<br />
wants to save what we can.<br />
MPs in sport competition<br />
for our Port Hills communities. I<br />
am pleased we have the opportunity<br />
to support their work with<br />
this exciting event.<br />
Our parliamentary netball<br />
team will play at 1pm at Christ’s<br />
College indoor court followed<br />
by the rugby team who will kickoff<br />
at 3pm at Christ’s College<br />
Upper.<br />
Tickets will be available to<br />
pre-purchase for the post-match<br />
function, which will include<br />
a charity auction, raffles and<br />
mixing with sporting legends<br />
and parliamentary greats. All<br />
proceeds from this will be evenly<br />
split between Hohepa Canterbury<br />
and 0800 Hungry.<br />
If you would like further<br />
information or are a business<br />
who would like to donate to this<br />
event, please phone my office on<br />

Hope to see you all there.<br />
But that’s not the issue with the<br />
corner of Sumner Rd and Oxford<br />
St, where the building has gone<br />
and can’t be replaced exactly as it<br />
was. Nor should we try.<br />
The Lyttelton centre is notable<br />
for its very lack of a consistent<br />
style, it having been developed<br />
with no thought of contemporary<br />
sensibilities.<br />
By chance, however, London<br />
St has ended up with a harmony<br />
of size and height, and all the<br />

HELLO THERE. I think<br />
animals are smarter than us.<br />
In the Northern hemisphere<br />
when the weather<br />
turns cold they<br />
hibernate until the<br />
spring and the weather<br />
gets warmer. We rug<br />
up and dash in and out<br />
of warm buildings and<br />
cars and try to stop our<br />
teeth from chattering.<br />
Lyttelton Lions have run a barbecue<br />
at Bunnings, Marshland,<br />
and a garage sale at Lyttelton.<br />
These are ways we raise funds to<br />
help people and organisations in<br />
our community.<br />
We had dinner with Ferrymead<br />
Lions this week and we<br />
heard 2 nd vice district governor<br />
buildings rise vertically from the<br />
footpath.<br />
The Stanaway proposal that<br />
you pictured respects these<br />
design principles. Perhaps it’s<br />
better to have a bold expression<br />
of how we are now than a faux<br />
version of some arbitrary previous<br />
era.<br />
Certainly the house would be<br />
preferable to the large pragmatic<br />
structure that’s appeared on the<br />
top corner.<br />

Sam Lilley outline the plans for<br />
a this new year of Lions.<br />
I have just been reading the<br />
latest edition of the Lion magazine.<br />
The Amberley District<br />
Lions have been very busy<br />
collecting unwanted<br />
school furniture from<br />
around Christchurch.<br />
They had desks,<br />
chairs, computers,<br />
clothing and in March<br />
this year a 40-foot<br />
container left Lyttelton<br />
bound for the Lions Club of<br />
Apia, Samoa. This was a major<br />
project for the club and involved<br />
a huge amount of work and we<br />
are all very impressed.<br />
