4 Tuesday September 4 2018 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi News Exhibition pops up at future site of Lyttelton Museum Local News Now PEGASUS POST Fire rages, homes at risk • By Sarla Donovan ELEVEN ARTISTS will feature in an exhibition of miniature art works inspired by items from the Lyttelton Museum collection. Ka Awatea, The Time of Awakening is set to open on September 25 in a miniature pop-up gallery at the new museum site on London St. It is the first of three exhibitions at the site between September and December, designed to activate links between past and present. The artists in the first show will include some familiar names, such as sculptors Llew Summers, Tim Wraight and Andrew Lyons, along with Piri Cowie, Robyn Webster and Rachel Thornton. Some of the works will be for sale. Curators Sarah Amazinnia and Holly Cunningham said the line-up of contemporary artists was fantastic. “The artwork proposals have unearthed some interesting collection items – everything from cigarette tins, moa bones, jewellery boxes and ship figureheads,” said Ms Cunningham. She said it would be exciting to see the installation evolve on the London St site between now and its opening. Last year, the city council agreed to gift land at 33-35 London St to the Lyttelton Historical Museum Society. Architects Warren and Mahoney are currently working on preliminary designs for the multi-story building, which should be completed next month. “We will then get it fullycosted before moving into fundraising mode,” said society POP-UP: This cabin will be transformed into a miniature art gallery on the Lyttelton Museum site. development committee chairman Peter Rough. The society, a registered charity, currently has $600,000 for the museum rebuild but needs to raise about $5.4 million more to construct the building and help with operational costs. The new museum is expected to open in 2020. CONNECTIONS: A ship figurehead was one of the items from the Lyttelton Museum collection which inspired artists in the pop-up gallery exhibition.

Red zone barriers get bigger to stop vandals •From page 1 “We want to prevent that from happening and have been working on the issue with Land Information New Zealand,” Mr Thomas said. LINZ manages red-zoned land for the Crown but the city council owns the roads and footpaths. “LINZ has been working to lengthen the barriers in targeted areas so it no longer possible for cars to get around them by driving on the footpath. They’re adding additional bollards on the footpath and berm areas and stringing chains between them, so that cars can’t get past but cyclists and pedestrians can still get through,’’ Mr Thomas said. “We hope this will bring an end to the illegal dumping and stop unauthorised vehicles from accessing the area.’’ LINZ red zone land and property manager Matt Bradley has received positive feedback from neighbouring residents who have been frustrated by the antisocial behaviour and rubbish dumping. “We received a lovely message from a Dallington resident thanking us for the work we have done to improve the barriers,” he said. “He said the simple addition of a few gates and posts had done wonders to cut down on antisocial behaviour and to make the space feel safer for residents, pedestrians and cyclists.’’ LINZ has been working closely with landscaping contractors and others who need legitimate access through a smart lock and key system to open the barriers. “In the past weeks, our team has also been working closely with whitebaiters who want to get access to their favourite spots,” said Mr Bradley “We have successfully arranged access for over 60 individuals and the feedback has been very positive,” he said. The whitebaiters register their names with LINZ in exchange for a special key to open specific gates. Mr Bradley said vandals rammed some of the new gates to get access to the streets. “But we have replaced those gates with heavier posts and other security measures, like cameras, to keep those people out of the red zone.” HEAT PUMP SALE NOW ON!

PEGASUS POST Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tuesday September 4 2018 5 News Local News Now Fire rages, homes at risk A woman was taken to Christchurch Hospital with moderate injuries after a spectacular two-car crash in Parklands. Both vehicles overturned during the crash on Mairehau Rd near Royal Park Drive. Elder and ‘friend of school’ dies • By Sophie Cornish A MAORI elder and prominent member of the Linwood North School community has died after a battle with cancer. Principal Sandra Smith said Peter Mason was “down to earth” with a “wicked sense of humour.” Mr Mason recently passed away “peacefully” at his home at the age of 75. He was the school’s kaumātua, or elder, and a “great friend” of the school, said Ms Smith. “He has provided us all with genuine, wise, cultural supervision and guidance over the years. We loved his child-friendly advice around tikanga, his sense of humour and his wisdom around the implementation of appropriate school pōwhiri protocol,” she said. Tikanga, a Maori concept with a wide range of meanings including, culture, custom and etiquette, generally refers to the ‘Maori way of doing things.’ Recently, he officiated the school’s 110th anniversary and the new hall’s opening celebrations. “Our favourite memory of Koro Pete will be him happily singing and dancing his way down the hall to Poi E at the end of our dress rehearsal for the celebrations,” said Ms Smith. In spite of being unwell, Ms Smith said he “soldiered on.” “Koro Pete was a man small in stature, but great in mana and dignity. In his later years he gave so much of his cultural knowledge and advice to many organisations and trusts,” she said. He became the school’s kaumātua following the closure of Richmond School in 2013, where he had served on the board of trustees. Previously, he was a Maori adviser for the Department of Labour from 1987 to 1992. He also had the title of facilitator at Connections Nga Kete E Rua Ltd, a company directed by himself and his wife, Linley. It provides networking and liaison services for communities and individuals in tikanga and bi-cultural practices. Ms Smith said Mr Mason will always be remembered for his “beautiful story-telling” to pupils and by his whakataukī, a Maori proverb. “What is the most important thing in the world? It is the children, it is the children, it is the children.” “He aha te mea nui o te Ao? He tamriki, he tamariki, he tamariki.” New Spiralin Products NOW AVAILABLE “Highly effective natural antiviral, anti fungal, anti bacterial & cell regenerative properties’ MADE IN GERMANY for appointments phone 03 348 7910 | www.feetfirst.co.nz riccarton 37 main south road redcliffs 2 augusta street marshlands 427 marshland road darfield darfield pharmacy REMEMBERED: Prominent Linwood North School member and Maori elder Peter Mason has died. now servicing oXford Beautiful Teeth Meet the Owner Ryan Carlton Natural Smile Ravn named apprentice of the year •From page 1 “I gave it a go last year and wasn’t successful, so I tried again this year. It was a motivation to see how you faced off against your contemporaries,” Mr Ravn said. The regional competition involved building something from scratch in just two hours. Mr Ravn built a tool box. “Having to deal with your nerves and having to deal with industry leaders, I definitely think it was a massive thing you need to overcome. So different to when you are working on site.” After finishing high school, Mr Ravn started a fine arts degree at Canterbury University before training as a carpenter. “I like making things, so I thought I would give it a go and I really enjoyed it and here I am now. In Christchurch, there was a lot of demand.” “The building industry is amazing. And we do things that other people can’t do, we create, and you get paid to learn. Definitely give it a go and see where you stand.” Mr Ravn will take part in the national competition in Auckland on November 9.
