a reunion<br />
Getting back to your role in<br />
the community. What do you<br />
expect to happen in the next<br />
month or so and what are your<br />
great plans?<br />
It’s about learning right now.<br />
The next month is entirely about<br />
learning, understanding how life<br />
works in New Zealand. What the<br />
community is like in Redcliffs<br />
and Sumner. Learning who the<br />
people are and what is happening<br />
in their lives and how we can<br />
support both the parishioners of<br />
Redcliffs and Sumner but also the<br />
brother community. The big plans<br />
are, I would say just continuing to<br />
build what has already happened<br />
here which in particular in the<br />
Sumner area we’ve had wonderful<br />
relationships with the community<br />
and with young people in<br />
particular. So continuing to build<br />
that and seeking ways in which<br />
we as a church can be of service<br />
to the community. How can we<br />
give, how can we support and<br />
how can we help.<br />
I understand you had your induction<br />
last week, how was that?<br />
It was brilliant, it was wonderful.<br />
Bishop Victoria (Matthews)<br />
who is our bishop here in<br />
Christchurch was my bishop in<br />
Canada. So she ordained me in<br />
Canada. It was a reunion for us<br />
to come back. Even though this is<br />
the first time I have been in New<br />
Zealand this is the third church<br />
she has put me in. So that was<br />
really nice to be able to connect<br />
with her that way. It was wonderful<br />
to for the first time to be able<br />
to pray and be in worship with<br />
the people here. A wonderful<br />
variety from the community were<br />
present to welcome us and show<br />
their support.<br />
It certainly makes it a lot<br />
easier when the community welcome<br />
you with open arms.<br />
Yes, it really helps. So far it has<br />
been a really easy transition.<br />
Skate ramp out of use<br />
•From page 1<br />
“We could spend thousands<br />
of dollars and still fall short of<br />
the council’s guidelines,” she<br />
said.<br />
Mrs Mossman hopes to have<br />
the ramp relocated as soon as<br />
possible, at the preferred 26<br />
Nayland St site.<br />
Sumner will be without the<br />
ramp indefinitely, but hopes<br />
they can sort a new site out with<br />
the council as soon as possible,<br />
she said.<br />
She said the new site would<br />
ideally have an area to place<br />
the skate ramp but to also have<br />
space where a picnic table and<br />
trees can be placed so all family<br />
members can enjoy, not just<br />
skaters.<br />
Mrs Mossman wanted to<br />
make clear the skate park was<br />
closing down because it had not<br />
complied with council noise<br />
level readings, not because of the<br />
main complainant.<br />
Sumner Re Treat owner Chris<br />
Gage-Smart said it was good to<br />
hear her business could continue<br />
as usual now the skate park will<br />
be closed down.<br />
CLOSED: The<br />
controversial<br />
Wakefield Ave<br />
skate ramp<br />
will be locked<br />
up tomorrow<br />
evening until<br />
a new site can<br />
be secured for<br />
the Sumner<br />
Green and<br />
Skate Group. <br />
Mrs Gage-Smart said herself<br />
and her husband are “more than<br />
happy” to help the group when<br />
the new site is secured.<br />
Heathcote Ward councillor<br />
Sara Templeton said she had met<br />
with the group and the council<br />
will continue to work with the<br />
group to find a permanent place<br />
for the skate ramp.<br />
“They’re a fantastic group of<br />
local volunteers who have put a<br />
huge amount of work into the<br />
ramp for the youth of Sumner<br />
and really want to do the right<br />
thing for the community.”<br />
