PAGE 10 BAY HARBOUR Latest Christchurch news at www. .kiwi Wednesday May 10 2017 Your Local Views Cruise ship berth positive for Lyttelton Labour MP Ruth Dyson writes about developments in Lyttelton and impact a lack of funding has on services volunteer organisations can offer Lyttelton has been in the news lately – and mostly for very positive reasons. THe city council’s decision to fund the $56 million cruise ship berth is great news not just for Lyttelton but actually for the whole of the South Island. While some small cruise ships have been going to Akaroa in the last few years, actually both Lyttelton and Port Chalmers have been missing out on visits, with many cruise ships not heading to the South Island at all. The build challenge is huge and is expected to take two and a half years – which doesn’t seem long given the size of the job. In the same week, the work on the first of three stages to build the Te Ana Marina began. Over the next few weeks, the piles, which are being poured in Lyttelton, will be trucked through to the west to be installed. This part of the work is expected to be completed by November. It will be so good to see this inner harbour area developed and made attractive, including the upgrade of the Woolstore building and the provision of public amenities. But the bad news is that Community House, which provides amazing support for local people and includes the Youth Centre, has had its funding cut and, as a result, has had to reduce services, staff and hours. The new model that seems to be driving Government funding and also funding from organisations such as the Rata Foundation, is that the group getting the funding has to move to be “sustainable”. Might sound good in theory – a bit like “social investment” but what it doesn’t recognise is that some support services are provided for free to those who need them by volunteers who clearly don’t get paid! This is what a lot of our community and voluntary sector work is about and expecting them to become “sustainable” in terms of funding is an out of touch attitude. Adrian Daly responds to an article in last week’s Bay Harbour News about the closure of the tearooms in Orton Bradley Park I am disappointed to hear that a decision by the Orton Bradley Board will close the Victorianstyle cafe after such a short trial. I think the Victorian-style presented by Annie is a great idea, befitting the heritage nature of the park. A cafe in Orton Bradley/Charteris Bay should be a draw for people into the park, and a plus for camping users. My question would be, how limited was the marketing of the cafe and park, to provide a business starter booster. My guess would be that few members of the large Christchurch population on the doorstep probably had no knowledge of the cafe’s existence. I think if they did they would be delighted by what Annie has to offer. It’s a lovely building with individually-styled rooms, outside seating, and amazing cakes and deserts, to say the least. I guess the idea of a Victorian cafe may have less appeal to younger visitors, so perhaps it needs complementing with another attraction such as developing/extending the mountain bike trails. Visitors hosted by Rotarians Ferrymead Rotary member Barbara Crooks writes about international visitors coming to the area and bilingual education A dozen North American Rotarians were enthralled by the traditional Maori welcome and entertainment they received at Woolston’s Te Waka Unua School. Visitors Chris and Joe Townley said the group was highly impressed by the enthusiasm, passion and repertoire of the young boys and girls from the school’s bilingual education unit. After a powhiri, and a hongi, the children performed a haka, songs and dances. Chris Townley says they were brilliantly entertained and the visitors were intrigued by the children’s ability to perform in front of an audience. The group, from Washington State, United States, and Vancouver Island, Canada, was part of Rotary’s International Friendship Exchange programme, which brings people together for social and cultural interaction. Groups of around 12 Rotarians exchange on a district-todistrict basis and are hosted by Rotarians. This group was hosted in Ashburton, Hokitika, Nelson, Blenheim and Christchurch. A programme was organised to show aspects of life in New Zealand – farming, tourism and wine-making. If you want to come along to Ferrymead Rotary you would be very welcome.
