Sumner Ferrymead Foundation chairman John Taylor writes about its 25th anniversary celebration next month THE SUMNER Ferrymead Foundation will celebrate its 25th anniversary next month and look back on the financial contributions it has made to many groups and individuals within our community. Since its launch in 1993, many have benefited, including donations for education, music, youth, arts and entertainment, the environment, health and welfare, and sport and recreation. Funds are derived from returns on invested funds which are held in perpetuity and, after considering an application, the trustees make donations within the “catchment area”. Donations have been made towards rebuilding the Mt Pleasant Community Centre, the Heathcote and Mt Pleasant school pools, the Sumner Lifeboat Institution, the Sumner Theatre Group and Sumner Bridge Club, the hockey, yacht and cricket clubs, and numerous students. Last year some representatives of groups and individuals who had recently received assistance met with trustees. Seb Johnson, who represented New Zealand at the world surf lifesaving champs, Francesca Beaton, a student who attended an Otago University summer research programme, the Sumner Volunteer Fire Brigade, the Sumner Cricket Club’s Ray Steele, Sumner and Redcliffs libraries’ Denny Richardson and Felicity Backhouse all used donations to purchase equipment and materials. The objectives of the foundation are to support and enhance the community for the future and this is made possible by the generous donations or bequests from groups and individuals. •To learn more about the foundation, visit the website www.sumnerferrymeadfoundation. co.nz or phone the secretary, Daniel O’Carroll, on 384 4153. +12 MONTHS ON St Asaph St Ferry Rd OUTLET STORE Fitzgerald Ave INTEREST FREE ANY PURCHASE OVER $499 * OUTLET STORE HURRY, ONCE IT’S GONE, IT’S GONE!

Teen caught in burglary inquiry • By Anan Zaki POLICE HAVE made a breakthrough in their hunt for a group of teenagers who are suspected of burglaries. A 14-year-old has been apprehended in relation to one of the burglaries in Hornby. Police say eight others aged between 13 and 15 are suspected of what is known as “door-stepping.” Door-stepping is the act of stealing items left outside homes. Senior Constable Bruce Ward said police were able to match a recovered pair of running shoes with the 14-year-old after publicity. The owner of the shoes came forward after recognising it from the news article and it meant police could confirm they were stolen, he said. An earlier article in also prompted more calls about door step burglaries in Hornby and Wigram, the latest being 10 days ago. “We had three other people who phoned in to report that they have lost items but haven’t done anything about it,” Senior Constable Ward said. Police believe the latest calls meant the teenagers are still active. Police are yet to decide if the boy will be charged or not and the outcome depended on a Youth Justice family group conference in four weeks time. Constable Ward said. Police are still seeking the owners of a $300 pair of Nike Air Jordan shoes, an Avanti bicycle and Razor scooter, which were stolen in the door-stepping thefts. The remaining eight are still at large and the police will only be able to apprehend them when more stolen items are reported and owners come forward, Senior Constable Ward said. •If the recovered items belong to you or if valuables were stolen from outside your property, phone Senior Constable Bruce Ward at the Hornby Police Station on 363 7435.
SOUTHERN VIEW Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tuesday July 31 2018 5 News Local News Now Fire rages, homes at risk Clock tower danger warning PEOPLE attempting to break into the earthquakedamaged Scarborough clock tower are putting themselves in a potentially dangerous situation, the city council is warning. The heritage clock tower is currently surrounded by scaffolding and has fencing around it, but that has not stopped some people from trying to gain entry. “The reason why the clock tower is fenced off is because we’ve had engineers working to determine how much damage it sustained in the earthquakes and what needs to be done to fix it,’’ said city council head of parks Andrew Rutledge. “The assessment shows while the clock tower is structurally sound, it requires extensive repairs. Some of the surface masonry is loose and could fall off if we got another strong quake. “It is not safe for the public to be in the clock tower which is why we have got it fenced off. Our concern is that if someone does try to break in while the repair work is under way, they could find themselves in a potentially dangerous situation,’’ Mr Rutledge said. The repairs to the clock tower are likely to take several more months to complete and will involve removing all the clock faces so they can be restored by specialists. The scaffolding on the Scarborough tower was installed in March and is costing $280 a week. It is believed to be the first time the clock faces have been restored since being built in the 1930s. People have also tried to gain entry to New Brighton’s damaged clock tower. DANGEROUS: People trying to gain entry to clock towers at Scarborough and New Brighton are putting themselves in danger, the city council is warning. In Brief TREES TO BE REMOVED The city council has scheduled to remove nine dead and decaying trees from the South Brighton estuary on August 17. City council community parks manager Al Hardy said after receiving further advice it has decided to carry out additional assessments before a final decision is made on the remaining trees.
