Fast track
plan for
Redcliffs
School
in spite of
flood
concerns
• By Sarla Donovan
REGENERATE Christchurch
wants to fast track rezoning
Redcliffs Park as a school – in spite
of city council warnings the site
isn’t sustainable
for use as a school
and will require
extra protective
measures within
30 years.
A city council
memorandum
on flood hazards
at the park,
released to the
Edwards
Bay Harbour News under the Local
Government Official Information
and Meetings Act last week, said
the site is “not sustainable to be
used for school purposes in the
medium to long term.”
City council chief executive
Karleen Edwards said yesterday
further protective measures “to
maintain site functionality” are
likely to be needed in 30 years.

from the editor’s desk
MORE DEBATE looms over Redcliffs Park
as the site for a new school (see page 1).
A report shows flooding could be a
problem in the future.
A key part of the report says that the land
is not suitable for a school in the medium
to long term because of estuary tidal surges and other flooding
issues in the future.
Regenerate Christchurch says a school can be built in a way
that will prevent it being flooded. It is looking to fast track
rezoning of the park.
But the report also says protection from the sea will be needed
for the years to come.
Who will pay for that? Ratepayers no doubt.
Great effort from local surfers at the Duke Festival (see page
19).

YACHT CLUB SIGN VANDALS
Signs outside the Akaroa Yacht
Club have been stripped off by
vandals. Commodore Howard
Wilson said the commodore’s
parking sign was removed
this week. It follows the recent
destruction of signs stating the
car park is for yacht club parking
only. Mr Wilson said CCTV
cameras may have captured the
vandals.
NOMINATIONS for the
vacant position representing
the Lyttelton Subdivision of the
board closed yesterday.
Funeral consultant Robyn

Ms Couch-Lewis has lived in
Rapaki for the past 22 years.
She said she is “semi-retired,
but continues to work for her
tribe and hapu at a governance
level.”
Originally from the United
States, Mr Dietsche has been
living in New Zealand for 12
years.

The Tattooist of Auschwitz
by Heather Morris
The incredible story of the Auschwitz-Birkenau tattooist
and the woman he loved.
Lale Sokolov is well-dressed, a charmer, a ladies man. He is also a Jew.
On the first transport from Slovakia to Auschwitz in 1942, Lale immediately
stands out to his fellow prisoners. In the camp, he is looked up to, looked
out for, and put to work in the privileged position of Tetovierer “the tattooist”
to mark his fellow prisoners, forever. One of them is a young woman, Gita,
who steals his heart at first glance. His life given new purpose, Lale does
his best through the struggle and suffering to use his position for good.
This story, full of beauty and hope, is based on years of interviews author
Heather Morris conducted with real-life Holocaust survivor and Auschwitz-
Birkenau tattooist Ludwig (Lale) Sokolov. It is heart-wrenching, illuminating,
and unforgettable.

The Shepherd’s Hut
by Tim Winton
Jaxie dreads going home. His mum’s dead. The old man bashes him without
mercy, and he wishes he was an orphan. But no one’s ever told Jaxie
Clackton to be careful what he wishes for. In one terrible moment his life is
stripped to little more than what he can carry and how he can keep himself
alive.
There’s just one person left in the world who understands him and what he
still dares to hope for. But to reach her he’ll have to cross the vast saltlands
on a trek that only a dreamer or a fugitive would attempt.
The Shepherd’s Hut is a searing look at what it takes to keep
love and hope alive in a parched and brutal world.
Aging for Beginners
by doug Wilson
The world we know has changed dramatically and what the future might look
like is harder and harder to assess. For those entering the twilight years, this
uncertainty is ever more challenging to navigate. Dr Wilson’s book follows a
set of main principles and navigates a myriad of challenges that may be
difficult for the aging population to face.
The books establishes the following guidelines:
• Assess how you are – your medical;
• Assess your finances;
• Adapt to that – change this, change that, do this, do that – improve your lot.
Go ahead and do that because it’s your life;
• Accept what you have and what cards you have been dealt.
Health, Dr Wilson says, is the factor that needs major consideration. In his
book he discusses the importance of accessing the best possible information
about both physical and mental health.

UPGRADE: The
Scarborough
playground will
be closed from
May to August
while an
upgrade takes
place.
THE SCARBOROUGH Park
playground will be closed for
upgrade work from early May
in preparation for a spring
opening.
The popular park is getting
a makeover. Old playground
equipment is being replaced
with, among other things, a
mouse wheel, an eagle’s lair with
baskets, a dancing snake rope
swing, a climbing tower, and a
modern take on the classic rocking
horse.
The new playground is part of
a four-month work programme
involving post-earthquake
repairs to the Scarborough clock
tower, the steps outside the
Ocean Cafe and Bar and damaged
underground pipes.
The earthenware pipe which
runs between the cafe and
the wastewater pump station
is damaged and needs to be
replaced.
The city council hopes to minimise
disruption by completing
multiple projects at once during
the winter months.
“By doing so during the playground

digging in the same area twice,”
said city council acting head of
parks Brent Smith.
Scaffolding was installed
around the clock tower last
week. Although the playground
will be closed to the public from
May, the cafe will remain open
with access via the esplanade
walkway.
St Leonards Park, Nicholson
Park, Brownlee Reserve, Starwood
Reserve and Barnett Park
will be available for families in
the area to use while the Scarborough
playground is closed.
TRUCKS travelling through
Lyttelton by night are ferrying
rocks excavated from the hills
above Sumner Rd.
Up to eight trucks last week
began making hourly trips from
the Gollans Bay Quarry below
Evans Pass to a storage site in
Bromley, where they will be kept
for use in city council projects.
The work will continue for up
to 14 weeks. The trips are being
made at night to allow retaining
wall construction work to
continue during the day.
The city council said trucks
will not use engine braking or
reversing alarms and will operate
at low speeds to minimise noise.
Sumner Rd has been closed
to the public since rocks
came tumbling down from
the surrounding cliffs in the
February 22, 2011, earthquake.
About 100,000 cu m of rock has
been excavated from the slopes as
part of rockfall protection work
during the first stage of a multimillion
dollar project to rebuild
and re-open the road.
The work is estimated to cost
between $40-$60 million and is
jointly funded by the city council
and the New Zealand Transport
Agency, which is contributing
about 80 per cent of the funding.

Rocks moved by night
from Sumner Rd hills
REUSE: Rocks are being
excavated from the hills
above Sumner Rd to be used
on other city council projects.
The rock will be used for
projects such as the coastal
pathway, flood protection work,
and heritage restoration projects,
including the stone facings on
Lyttelton retaining walls.
Using the rocks for other
construction projects made
financial sense, said city council
transport planning and delivery
manager Lynette Ellis.
“This is about sustainability.
Instead of having to buy new rock
and transport it from sources as
far away as Oxford or Akaroa,
this is local rock that has already
been excavated and is being
reused for local projects. It makes
good sense and it’s extremely cost
effective.”
The road was originally due to
open in early 2018 but has been
pushed back a year.

Plan to fast
track Redcliffs
School
•From page 1
The site is considered at risk
of flooding due to rainfall runoff,
and tidal flooding during
extreme tides and storm events,
which “will be exacerbated with
future . . . sea level rise,” the
memorandum said.
It said there were “no plans to
protect the area from sea level
rise so the city council or Government
cannot be relied upon
to mitigate the flooding risk at
any time in the future.”
The city council has agreed
to a land swap which will see it
exchange the park for the former
Redcliffs School site on Main Rd.
But first the park must be rezoned
as a school and Regenerate
Christchurch is seeking to use its
powers to fast track the process.
Regenerate Christchurch has
said the location would be appropriate
as the new school buildings
proposed by the Ministry of
Education would only be in use
“for about 50 years.”
Dr Edwards told Bay Harbour
News the city council’s opinion
of the flooding hazard at the site
remains unchanged. She said its
position would be reiterated in a
submission to Greater Christchurch
Regeneration Minister
Megan Woods.

IZZY HOULT was three when
she fell in love with ballet.
Her driveway was across
the road from the Little River
Hall where dance teacher Ann
Judson taught little girls dressed
in pink.
“I want to go, I want go,” she
would plead with her mum Jane
Hoult.
But Ms Hoult insisted on
waiting until her daughter was
four-years-old; then they went
over and “she was hooked.”
Fast-forward six years and
Izzy is now a national scholar
with the New Zealand School of
Dance in Wellington.
The scholar programme
provides specialist training for
classical ballet students from the
age of 10.
Izzy successfully auditioned in
early November and found out
two weeks later she had been accepted.
It was much earlier than
expected, which led to a spot of
angst for Ms Hoult.
“I was at home and she was at
school and I thought ‘uh-oh, this
isn’t good news, it’s too soon’. So
I opened it and I was reading it
and I read back again and then
started crying and I couldn’t
read it. I was thinking ‘this
definitely says Izzy doesn’t it? It’s
got the right person, it definitely
says Izzy, national scholar?’”
“I was shaking and then I had
to wait all day for her to come
home from school. She was just
so happy she screamed and
screamed.” Only nine dancers
were accepted in her age group
from nearly 30 who applied. Six
are from Wellington and three
from elsewhere in New Zealand.
Being a national scholar
means seven times a year, Izzy

lessons starting at 8.30am the
following day. She and her mum
then fly back on Saturday night
It means staying overnight,
but they have found an apartment
close by which is reasonably
priced and has a kitchen.
Nonetheless, costs add up.
Jane helps run an annual
event with the Country Living
Group, but says she’s having to
“get (her) head around a few
more fundraisers.”
“Izzy’s really good at helping
out, whether it’s walking dogs or
selling pinecones or whatever.”
Ms Judson retired from teaching
earlier this year, so between
trips to Wellington, there’s
training four times a week at the
Southern Ballet School.
But all the work is worth it,
Izzy said. “We keep a journal
about our progress and corrections
and we are learning about
our bodies, muscles and how
to keep ourselves and bodies fit
and injury-free. I had the best
time and can’t wait until my
next visit.”
Her dream is to perform with
the national dance company.

There’s been a lot
happening!
Market Comment
What a busy start to the year it has been, and not just the real estate market. Having just
experienced the hottest summer on record, great sporting events such as the current cricket series
between the Black Caps and England, the start of the Super Rugby campaign where we hope to
see the Crusaders defend their championship crown, the Commonwealth Games kicking off on
the Gold Coast in a few weeks as well discussion around the location of a new skate ramp, various
political manoeuvres, University orientations, International Women’s Day, St Patrick’s day and a
myriad of other activities and events that keep us all occupied. It feels like it’s been a great summer!
The real estate market has also gained momentum. Those of you watching the market will have
seen some outstanding property coming to the market for sale coupled by some incredible
marketing campaigns. Even if you are not quite in the market yet it can sometimes be a good
opportunity to see what’s for sale and start building on your knowledge for when the time comes to
buy or sell. You are welcome to come along to any of our open homes or contact one of our licensee
salespeople for a private viewing.

Clean-up groups collect 640kg of rubbish from harbour
• By Sarla Donovan
VOLUNTEERS removed more
than half a tonne of rubbish
from the edges of Lyttelton
Harbour over two hours.
The inaugural Whakaraupo
Lyttelton Harbour clean-up on
March 9 marked the launch
of the Whaka-Ora/Healthy
Harbour plan – a blueprint for
restoring the ecological health of
the harbour.
About 50 people gathered in
Lyttelton, 30 in Governors Bay
and 20 in Diamond Harbour
to help clean tracks, parks and
streets surrounding the harbour.
A separate event was held
earlier in the day by Diamond
Harbour School, with about
150 people helping to clean-up
around Purau.
All up they gathered 640kg
of rubbish, including glass and
plastic bottles, cans, tyres, table
tops and sheets of iron.
Some was recycled and the rest
put into a skip.
The volunteers were afterwards
treated to barbecue provided by
Cashmere Cuisine.
The event was a collaboration
between Environment
Canterbury, Enviroschools and
Conservation Volunteers New
Zealand.
Project officer for CVNZ
Hamish Fairbairn said they decided
broaden the focus beyond
beaches because there was a
“strong likelihood” that rubbish
on roadsides and in parks would
end up in the harbour, “carried
there by rain or wind.”
And it was bird life and fish
that had to cope with the consequences,
said Mr Fairbairn.
A team of eight international
CVNZ volunteers travelled from
Punakaiki to help out. The group
stayed with Ngati wheke at Rapaki
Marae and as well as the harbour
clean-up they helped with gorse
control at Orongomai Reserve.
The Whakaraupo Lyttelton
Harbour clean-up will be held
again next year and Mr Fairbairn
says plans are afoot to
make it “bigger and brighter.”

Jetty ready to face another century
Community
restores part
of history
A 107-YEAR-OLD jetty is
primed for another century of
service at Takamatua Bay.
Supported by the city council,
local residents have driven a
major repair project to save one
of the region’s oldest jetties for
future generations.
The Takamatua Ratepayers’
Association pooled member
resources to rebuild the
earthquake-damaged structure,
aided by the city council’s Banks
Peninsula and Port Hills head
ranger Paul Devlin and engineer
Paul Ferguson.
Association chairman Kevin
Simcock said the restoration of
the jetty was a communityfocused
project.
Local residents put in many
long hours, volunteering their
time and expertise to save the
jetty.
“This project has proven
that city council-community
partnerships are an excellent
way of enhancing community
assets while building community
spirit,” Mr Simcock said.
Mr Devlin said the city council
simply empowered the local
community to work on the
jetty themselves, supporting
the project with materials, and
oversight of health and safety
and design.
“It has been a brilliant
outcome, both for the
Takamatua community and the
city council,” Mr Devlin said.
The jetty was built in 1910 to
ferry cheese from the German
Bay (Takamatua) Cheese Co-op
to Akaroa and further afield.
Initially called German Bay to

reflect the origins of the early
settlers, the name of the area was
changed to Takamatua during
World War I.
It originally cost £175 to build.
For Akaroa resident Jan
Shuttleworth, the recent
reopening marked a special day
in his family’s history.
His grandfather George
Armstrong delivered a speech
at the opening of the jetty on
December 20, 1910.
“My grandfather was mayor of
Akaroa for 23 years, and also on
the cheese co-operative’s board,”
Mr Shuttleworth said.
“The jetty was built by a local
builder to provide a shipping
service from the bay to Akaroa
and beyond as the co-op had
about 15 suppliers, and quite
a big volume of cheese was
being produced. A cutter, the
Deveron, left with the first cargo,
consisting of 187 cases of cheese,
136 loose cheese and 18 bales of
wool.”

Namaste and
Kumusta. Greetings
to the Linwood
Community.
I am very pleased to
be able to report to
the community that 2018 has begun well for
the school. This page shows the wide range
of positive activity that we would expect in a
busy, thriving secondary school.
Our 2018 school year has begun with an
increased school roll, considerably so. This
has resulted in some timetabling challenges
and prompt action to appoint further staff.
Thank you to the students and staff as they
manoeuvre their way round some crowded
classrooms.
2018 also starts with the first full year of our
being in two Kāhui Ako-Communities of
Learning, Tamai – Linwood-Woolston, and
Aupaki – the Bays, Heathcote and Lyttleton.
I have written about Kāhui Ako previously.
They are schools collaborating to ensure that
the student is at the centre of all activity but
not just in the individual school the student is
in at the time, but as the student progresses
from early childhood centres through their
schooling to tertiary and the workplace.
Effective schools and communities have
been doing this for decades, of course, so it
Festival of Nations 2018
Last month, Linwood College was once
again on show - in all its glory. The ‘Festival
of Nations,’ one day event, celebrated the
breadth and richness of cultural heritage
amongst our students. With initial speeches
and a flag parade attended by local MPs,
Poto Williams, Dr Duncan Webb and Ruth
Dyson, the College’s sports' field was
transformed into a vibrant cultural throng of
colour and enthusiasm.
The festival concluded with a Cultural
Evening, a night of spectacular
entertainment, with music and dance
performances by students from around the
world.
is good to have this part of official national
education policy.
As we know, 2018 is our last full year in the
old LHS/LC school buildings. In mid-year
2019, Term 2, Linwood College will shift
off-site for the duration of our re-build to what
will be by then the former Avonside GHS
site. This is a very good thing for us all as we
will not have to live in the middle of a major
building site for what would have been three
years. It takes a year off the building timeline,
from the three years to under two, and this
means a saving of one million dollars. This
saved money does not leave the budget so
we can use as we see fit.
Our community consultation about the new
Linwood College has given us clear direction
and everything that we do is based on this.
We all agree that it is true that buildings
alone do not necessarily improve education
– the relationship with the teacher and the
personalisation of learning are the two key
factors for this – but there is also no doubt
that new, purpose-built buildings and spaces
can contribute hugely to these two factors. It
is Linwood College’s turn.
Finally, I am always keen to meet people, so
if any member of the community wishes to
talk to me about anything, please contact the
office to arrange a time for this to occur. My
door is open.

Mathematics Success
We are very proud of Jeremy
Kyle who received an
‘Excellence’ grade for his NCEA
Level 1 external portfolio. His
body of work had been part of
a year long project around the
theme, ‘My connection with the
world around me.’ Students were
able to interpret this theme into
their own context.
We are proud to congratulate the following students who excelled in their work and achieved
the 10 Numeracy credits required for NCEA as Year 10 students in 2017. They are:
Cory Aberhart, J C Aguilar, Ethan Alderley, April Anderson-Hill, Jessa Arcayera, Kane

Coast to Coast Champions
Last month six of our Linwood College students:
Emmaline Stott, Finn Pierce, Julian Lui, Mapu
Uasi, Kyle Amer and Moahengi Ngauamo
competed as the 'Coast-to-Coast Rangers' in the
annual Coast-to-Coast race.
This intensely challenging race started on the
West Coast's Kumara Beach and finished on the
East Coast at New Brighton Beach.
What an amazing accomplishment it was for
them all to get across the finish line after just six
months of tough training!
We would like to thank all who supported our
team including LC students Aaron Skow, Tane Bradshaw and Alisha Ungerboeck as well as
Jess de Bont and Matt Mark who instigated this amazing experience for the Rangers!
As a past participant, Jess de Bont said, “I'm blown away by these teens. They have pushed
themselves more than many people will in a lifetime and have shown such respect for each
other and for us coaches. They totally inspire me."

Star Activities Day
In early February all Year 9 classes attended an exciting
activity day at The Groynes.
Students participated in team building activities and
climbed high ropes testing their courage to take on new
challenges. It was great to see the students working
together as they got to know one another.
Chilling
This term Level 2 Science students visited the
Antarctic Centre to experience survival in an
extreme environment and to explore how organisms
are able to survive in the extreme cold.
After huddling like Blue Penguins in the chilling
‘Cold Room’ (with a wind-chill factor of -18°C), we
were then escorted to see some real-life rescued
Blue Penguins in action during feeding-time.
To end our adventure, we were introduced to some
very well-trained Siberian Huskies, during which
time we were told about these special dogs that can
survive in such raw weather.

Summit Rd restrictions likely to fail
A BID to restrict vehicles on
Summit Rd at night to prevent
boy racing and anti-social
behaviour is likely to fail.
The city council will consider
a staff recommendation against
banning vehicles from the Port
Hills area between 10pm and
5am at its meeting tomorrow.
After reports of vandalism,
fire, loitering and littering, the
city council carried out public
consultation last year on a proposal
to restrict vehicle access
to parts of the Port Hills road in
a bid to protect the isolated and
ecologically sensitive area.
The restriction
was
proposed for
a stretch of
Summit Rd
from Rapaki
Rd to Gebbies
Pass Rd, and
David East
Worsleys Rd
from Summit
Rd to
Worsleys Track, between 10pm
and 5am on Thursday, Friday,
Saturday and Sunday and on
public holidays. Local residents
would be exempt.
However, a hearings
panel report, which will go
before city councillors at
tomorrow’s meeting, recommends
the city council not go
ahead with the proposal.
The panel considered all submissions,
including those presented
by police and the Summit
Road Protection Authority,
along with a city council staff
report which recommended
the restrictions should not be
approved.
The panel agreed with city
council staff, saying the proposal
would be difficult to enforce.
The report said it could
end up shifting anti-social
behaviour to other areas
where it might present a greater
Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi
risk to the public.
It would also restrict the
freedom of law-abiding, nighttime
visitors who enjoy the
“night-time scenic (sometimes
romantic) views and isolation of
the Summit Rd.”
Instead the panel, which was
chaired by city councillor David
East, has called for the Port
Hills Management Plan to be
fast tracked, saying it could help
address concerns at Summit Rd
and other roads in the area.
The report also suggests
the city council consider both
lowering the speed limit on
Summit Rd and introducing a
mechanism – such as number
plate recognition technology
– which would potentially
identify drivers for crime
prevention purposes.
It notes that police are willing

Fire rages, homes at risk
App nabs
disability car
park abusers
• By Bridget Rutherford
MORE THAN 100 reports of
people illegally using disability
car parks have been made since a
new app was launched to curb the
problem.
In October the city council’s
Smart Cities programme and
CCS Disability Action launched
Access Aware, allowing anyone to
report people parking in disability
spaces without permits.
It instantly sends a notification
and location to the city council’s
parking enforcement team.
Smart Cities programme manager
Teresa McCallum said since
the app was launched on October
1 there had been 141 “abuse reports,”
with one $150 ticket issued.
“The majority of the abuse
reports we have received are in
private parking spaces where the
council cannot issue infringement
notices.”
Last month, 10 trial sensors
were placed on central city disability
car parks. The sensors
have Bluetooth technology, which
pair with a portable chip given to
those with disability passes. If a
vehicle parks in the spaces without
a chip, enforcement officers
would get a notification.

DOUBLE: Estella Hungerford won two titles at the Duke Festival of Surfing.

Hungerford shines
at Duke Festival
• By Gordon Findlater
SUMNER SURFERS were
among the contingent of
Christchurch wave riders
to dominate the New
Brighton Duke Festival of
Surfing at the weekend.
Estella Hungerford did
her push for a spot in
the New Zealand junior
surfing team no harm by
winning two titles. She
won the under-16 girls
division with a score
of 12.8 in the final. She
beat out a strong North
Island line-up of Brie
Bennett, Raglan, Natasha
Gouldsbury, Taranaki,
and Georgia Wederell, Mt
Maunganui.
Selectors for the team
were at the event keeping
a watchful eye on surfers
who are in contention for
the New Zealand squad to
compete in the under-16
and under-18 divisions at
the world junior surfing
championships later in the
year.
Hungerford, 15, then
showed her skill on the
longboard to win the
women’s longboard
division. In the final, she
scored 11.1 to beat out
Tegen Bishop, Brittany
Andrews and Minnie
Robberds.
In the men’s longboard
division, Sumner’s Luke
O’Neill dominated the
strong field which included
current national champion
Zen Wallis. O’Neill’s
score in the final of 16.5
saw him win the division
ahead of Wallis in second
and fellow Sumner surfer
Hugh Ritchie in third.
“My strategy was to hug
the pier and try and stay
in the same spot and find
those little right-handers
that run into the pier. That
was about it, hope for the
best really,” said O’Neill.
The result is a reversal
of the 2017 event, in which
Wallis claimed the win
over O’Neill, something
that was not lost on the
22-year-old.
“It’s good to take out
Zen. It’s always good
to have him down here
competing, he pushes
everyone and it is good to
have that top competition
at the event.”
Husband and wife
combo, Alan and Lucy Te
Moananui, dominated the
men’s and women’s standup
paddleboard divisions.
Alan scored a 12.1 in the
men’s final to win in style
ahead of Sam Loader,
Mark Calcutt and Blair
Cooke.
Meanwhile, Lucy won
the women’s final with a
ride of 9.7. She finished
ahead of Amelie Wink,
Averil Phillips and Hanna
Zhionberg.
It was also a successful
outing for mother and
daughter Donna and Ava
Henderson. Ava had a
weekend to remember
by winning the under-14
girls division ahead of
Gouldsbury.
She then battled well
against older competitors
to finish second in the
under-20 girls behind
Brie Bennett of Raglan.
Donna defended her title
in the over 40 women’s
longboard division. She
won the final with a score
of 7.9 ahead of Sarah
Armstrong-Park, Cezanne
Lyons and Phillips.
Andrews took the
honours in the women’s
logger division with a
ride of 6.7 to beat Lili Bay,
Robberds and Lucy Te
Moananui. There was also
success for Jack Tyro in
the under-12 boys division
final. •More sport, p20
At Bolt of Cloth, they make it fun and easy
to make your house your home. A New
Zealand family-owned business, Bolt of
Cloth was started in Christchurch in 2009,
with the owners wanting to bring something
different to the city. The initial idea was
to make unique,
contemporary
designer fabrics
available direct to
the public.
Two years later,
they were nearly
taken out by the
Christchurch
earthquakes of
2011, and the loss of their
premises meant they had to
start again almost from scratch.
However, those difficult times
helped to shape the colourful
and inventive business they
have today.
They stock a
huge range of
contemporary home
furnishings, quilting/
dressmaking fabrics,
giftware and canvases.
You can even design
your own cushions,
curtains, lampshades
or squabs. A friendly team is always on hand
to give you
as much or as little interior design advice as
you need.
Using their custom-made curtains, blinds,
venetians and shutters you can revamp your
home to suit your individual taste, with the
interior design team offering free at-home
and in-store consultations to help with all
your window treatment needs.
Bolt of Cloth employs a team of local
craftspeople, handmaking many of
their products here in New Zealand.
Supporting local artists and designers,
they run a textile design competition
every year. Any New Zealand resident
can enter and
the winning
designs are
then used to
create a limited
edition cushion
collection.
They bring
in unique
homewares
from around
the world, including Finnish design brand
Marimekko, which is known for its iconic
prints and colour.
When you visit a Bolt of Cloth store you will
be blown away by the bright and colourful
atmosphere, and delighted by the beautiful
range of products.

Riders gear up for Le Race
HUNDREDS OF cyclists
will descend into Akaroa
on Saturday when they
complete the iconic 100km
Le Race from Christchurch
to Akaroa.
The strong field will
offer cycling fans along the
route an intriguing mix of
experienced professionals
and the superstars of the
future.
Amongst the favourites
to cross the line first are
race record holder Michael
Vink who will wear the
No. 1 bib. He will face
stiff competition from
Christchurch professional
Daniel Whitehouse. The
featherweight climber is
suited to the steep hills of
Banks Peninsula.
Others to watch out
for will be last year’s
winner Brad Evans, 2017
runner-up Sam Horgan
and experienced head Paul
Odlin.
At 39 years, Odlin may
no longer be a pro rider but
is still considered a genuine
threat. He has lost count in
how many editions of Le
Race he has competed, and
he is another rider with
unfinished business after
leading the race in 2014
before crashing on the final
descent.
RECORDHOLDER: Michael Vink will wear the No.1
bib for Saturday’s Le Race.
“Le Race is a special
event so it’s good to see
so many good local riders
making an effort to be
here,” said Odlin.
In the women’s race,
Kate McIlroy should be
the red-hot favourite,
on the eve of her third
Commonwealth Games. It
will be her first Games on
the bike after previously
competing in the
steeplechase and triathlon.
Unfortunately, Le Race
did not fit the Games
schedule for last year’s
winner Sharlotte Lucas, so
McIlroy on paper should
have too much class for the
rest of the women’s.
Jojo Bauer, younger sister
of Pro Tour rider Jack
Bauer, finished in the top
five last year and will again
be near the front, as well as
Masters World Champion
Jeannie Blackmore.
Behind the elite
riders, hundreds of
recreational riders will
be facing their personal
battles in teams or
individually, on tandems
or mountainbikes, for the
full 100km or the shorter
version, Le Petite, which
finishes in Little River.
Le Race starts in
Cathedral Square at 8am.

Flamingo Boy
by Michael Morpurgo
A stunning new classic from master storyteller Michael
Morpurgo for readers of 9+, in the vein of PRIVATE PEACEFUL
and THE BUTTERFLY LION.
This is a landmark new novel from the nation’s favourite
storyteller, set in the unique landscape of the Camargue in the South
of France during WW2. There, a young autistic boy lives on his parents’
farm among the salt flats, and the flamingos that live there. There are lots of things he
doesn’t understand: but he does know how to heal animals. He loves routine, and music
too: and every week he goes to market with his mother, to ride his special horse on the
town carousel.
But then the Germans come, with their guns, and take the town. A soldier shoots a
flamingo from the sky, and it falls to earth terribly injured. And even worse is to come:
the carousel is damaged, the horses broken. For this vulnerable boy, everything is falling
apart.
Only there’s a kind sergeant among the Germans – a man with a young boy of his own
at home, a man who trained as a carpenter. Between them, perhaps boy and man can
mend what has been broken – and maybe even the whole town…
All The Beautiful Girls
by Elizabeth J Church
The dazzling, powerful story of a gutsy showgirl who tries to conquer her past amongst
the glamour of 1960s Las Vegas – finding unexpected fortune, friendship and love.
In the summer of 1968, Ruby Wilde is the toast of Las Vegas. Showgirl of the Year, in
her feathers and rhinestones, five-inch heels and sky-high headdresses, she mesmerises
audiences from the Tropicana to the Stardust. Ratpackers and movie stars, gamblers and
astronauts vie for her attention and shower her with gifts.
But not so long ago Ruby Wilde was Lily Decker from Kansas: an orphaned girl
determined to dance her way out of her troubled past. When she was eight years old, Lily
survived the car crash that killed her parents and sister. Raised by an aunt who took too
little interest in her and an uncle who took too much, dancing was her solace, and her
escape. When a mysterious benefactor pays for her to attend a local dance academy,
Lily’s talent becomes her ticket to a new life.
Now, as Ruby Wilde, the ultimate Sin City success story, she discovers that the glare of
the spotlight cannot banish the shadows that haunt her. As the years pass and Ruby
continues to search for freedom, for love and, most importantly, herself, she must learn
the difference between what glitters and what is truly gold.

REAL ESTATE
Your Next “As Is, Where Is” Project
122 Major Hornbrook Road, Mt Pleasant - Auction 05 Apr 2018 (No Prior Sale)
4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 2 toilets | 2 living rooms | 2 car-garage | 2 carports | 3 off-street parks | Listing #FM5392
As we all know location counts when
buying real estate so when buying “as is,
where is” the fact that this home is in a prime
location AND deemed repairable by the
insurance company makes it a real winner!
A four bedroom, two bathroom family
residence; the spacious living is bathed in
sunshine due to the North facing aspect,
while the large kitchen, separate dining/
family room and sunroom to relax in at the
end of the day ensures there is room for all
the family.
Enjoy the summer BBQ’s on the deck
taking in the lovely 728m2 mature section the
home offers. There is ample off-street parking
to go with tandem garage and double carport
that will easily fit a boat or trailer.
With Mt Pleasant School under 400mts
away your kids can walk to this very popular
school, while the home is also on a bus route
and allows for an easy commute into the CBD.
If you are a builder, developer or handyman
after a new repair project then this is essential
viewing. The owners have settled with their
insurance company and now have their future
plans in place so are committed to selling on
auction day. Book your viewing today.
Open Homes: Saturdays, Sundays and
Wednesdays 2:00 p.m. - 2:45 p.m.
See you at the Open Home or for more
information or to arrange a private
viewing contact Chris Moores of Harcourts
