Call for more road safety

measures on Richmond Hill

• By Matt Salmons

THIS PHOTO shows why

residents on a hill above Sumner

need a footpath.

New 40km/h speed signs will

be installed on Richmond Hill

Rd this week, but residents say

more still needs to be done to

make the narrow road safer.

Increasing traffic in the area

had increased concern about

driver and pedestrian safety.

Kathy Duncan said residents are

worried about the safety of people

walking or cycling between the

top corner and Cecil Wood Way as

there was no footpath.

“There’s been so many near

misses. Every person who lives

on that road has a story.”

About 18 residents, community

board and residents’ association

members met with city council

traffic and transport staff on

Wednesday to discuss the issue.

Mrs Duncan said a number

of ideas to address concerns

were mooted at the meeting and

council staff said they would

look into them and report back.

“We’ll see what happens, but

we left the meeting feeling quite

positive,” she said.

City council transport planning

and delivery manager

Lynette Ellis said staff were “currently

working through options

to address concerns.”

Darrell Latham said one solution

suggested by residents was a

“rudimentary” gravel pathway

on city council reserve land

alongside Richmond Hill Rd.

“They [city council staff] are

looking for pragmatic solutions

as funding is very limited,” Dr

Latham said.

Ms Ellis said there was no

“Staff are assessing whether

there are any funding options

she said.

were “willing to put in” for the

path through providing labour.

Another solution was to extend

a track between Richmond

Hill and Cliffton Hill to run

down the gully between the two,

finishing at the bottom corner of

Richmond Hill Rd.

Said resident Jenny Cunningham:

“That seems like a pretty

easy fix to me . . . just build the

walking track completely off the

road.”

Ms Cunningham said such

a track would be popular with

other Sumner residents wanting

to access reserves and cycle

tracks in the area.

EVERY PICTURE tells a story they say,

and on page 1 it is loud and clear.

Residents have been campaigning to

make Richmond Hill Rd safer for sometime.

The speed will be reduced to 40km/h

this week but locals say a tragedy could

happen anytime.

That’s because the road is too narrow and clearly, going by our

photo, vehicles and pedestrians get uncomfortably close.

Says resident Kathy Duncan: “There’s been so many near

misses. Every person who lives on that road has a story.”

Residents and community board members have met with city

council staff and suggested solutions.

Let’s hope the powers that be have a look at our front page.

They’ll then realise how serious the situation is.

Uhtred of Bebbanburg has won back his ancestral home

but, threatened from all sides by enemies both old and new,

he doesn’t have long to enjoy the victory.

In Mercia, rebellion is in the air as King Edward tries to seize

control. In Wessex, rival parties scramble to settle on the identity

of the next king. And across the country invading Norsemen

continue their relentless incursion, ever hungry for land.

Uhtred – a legendary warrior, admired and sought as an ally, feared as an

adversary – finds himself once again torn between his two heritages: fighting on

what he considers the wrong side, cursed by misfortune and tragedy and facing

one of his most formidable enemies. Only the most astute cunning,

the greatest loyalty and the most spectacular courage can save him.

For decades, Uhtred has stood at the intersection between Pagan and Christian,

between Saxon and Viking, between the old world he was born into and the new

world being forged around him. But as the winds of change gather pace, the

pressure on Uhtred as father, as politician and as warrior grows as never before.

Quake survey to help evacuation plan

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding

Matthew

Hughes

RESIDENTS LIVING in coastal

areas including Redcliffs and

Sumner, who evacuated the

night of the 2016 Kaikoura

earthquake, are being called to

take part in a major research

project.

Canterbury

University

is aiming to

survey

as many

residents as

possible to

collect data

on the tsunami

evacuation

response

which took

place following the magnitude

7.8 earthquake.

It will focus on residents living

in coastal areas such as New

Brighton, Southshore and the

bays of Banks Peninsula.

Dr Matthew Hughes, one of

the academics overseeing the

project, said the survey isn’t

about asking for opinions on the

night, but what residents did in

response to the tsunami hazard.

The survey is part of a wider

research project led by GNS

Science called Quicker and Safer

Tsunami Evacuation through

agent-based modelling.

The larger project is looking at

“But the really crucial part of

this is this is going to start informing

sophisticated computer

modelling of population movements

when they evacuate,” he

said.

The models will simulate people

First sail for

historic tug

hits delay

• By Matt Salmons

OPERATORS OF the historic

tug Lyttelton say their first

passenger cruise will not happen

until January, a month later than

they had hoped.

Tug Lyttelton Preservation

Society head stoker Mike Bruce

said the marine surveyor who

oversaw the tug’s sea trials on

October 4 had given the society

a list of items to address before

they could carry passengers.

Though the society had funding

to address most of it, the

timeframe pushed the date back

from December.

“It’s nothing major, It’s just

time and effort,” Mr Bruce said.

The list included the need to

add another emergency exit and

update flotation devices, fire

extinguishers, signage and communication

equipment.

The most difficult item to address

on the list was the requirement

for the lifeboat to be at least

2.8m long and capable of travelling

at 6kn for two hours.

Currently, the society used

a rowboat, Mr Bruce said. He

said the society would request

an exemption for the lifeboat

requirement.”

School demolition under way

• By Matt Salmons

DEMOLITION OF the old

Redcliffs School buildings

on Main Rd is expected to be

finished in three weeks.

Work began on site last week.

Principal Rose McInerney said

Scope Group contractors were

demolishing the hall and removing

asbestos last week.

“The kids are really interested

in it and they’re keeping an eye

on it because they live close by.”

She said pupils would be allowed

on site on November 13 to

see the “biggest, most dramatic

parts” get demolished.

“It’s really cool the kids can be

involved,” she said.

Meanwhile, the Workforce

and Education Select Committee

continues its investigation into

the Friends of Redcliffs Park’s

fight to return the school to the

Main Rd site.

Group member Chris Doudney

said it was “very sad” the

old school buildings were being

demolished.

He said the committee had

received evidence from the

Ministry of Education and the

Friends of Redcliffs Park had sent

a response to that last week.

Once the committee had completed

its investigation, it would

give a recommendation to Parliament.

There was no set timeline

for how long that process could

take.

Once that recommendation

was given, the Government

would have 60 days to respond

as to whether it would take any

action.

“I think it’s very unfortunate

that the Ministry has gone on

with the demolition without

waiting for the select committee’s

recommendation,” Mr Doudney

said.

Mrs McInerney said the demolition

would resonate most with

the school’s final year group,

as they had been new entrants

during the February 22, 2011,

earthquake.

She said the demolition of the

hall was an especially emotional

time because it had been halfowned

by the school community.

The school had tried to have

the hall moved to the new school

site in Redcliffs Park, but due to

its proximity to the cliffs, it was

deemed too dangerous.

“But it’s also great because

all of the insurance money has

meant we can have a lovely

new hall [at the new school] . .

had.”

The new school was expected

to open in early 2020.

Woman hit by golf ball;

call for warning signs

• By Julia Evans

THE CITY council is

investigating ways to stop

people being hit by golf

balls on a Ferrymead

walking track.

It comes after a woman

was hit by wayward ball

from the Ferrymead Golf

course and taken to hospital

on October 13.

Head of parks Andrew

Rutledge said: “Staff have

spoken to the club regarding

the incident and are

considering options to

reduce the likelihood of a

similar incident occurring

again.”

Heathcote Ward city

councillor Sara Templeton

said it was a “serious” issue.

She was contacted by the

mother of the woman involved

who wants warning

signage installed.

“I have put in a request

through the normal city

council processes, but

also raised it at the board

meeting in case others had

heard about the incident

and to let them know that

I’d started the process,” she

said.

Still Pedalling!

PROXIMITY: City council staff are investigating

ways to prevent walkers being hit by balls near

the Ferrymead Golf course after a woman was hit

recently.

Cr Templeton raised the

issue and called for signs

to be installed at

the last Linwood-

Central-Heathcote

Community Board

meeting.

But said she would

be following up with

city council staff.

“It’s a popular

track which winds

along the lower reaches of

the Opawaho Heathcote

River from near Ferrymead

Park, past Ferrymead Golf

and Calder Green Reserve,”

she said.

She said there were lots of

Sara

Templeton

people walking with dogs

or riding bikes.

Ferrymead Golf

owner Carl Lawson

said it’s the first

time in the 11 years

he’s been there that

someone has been

hit.

However, he said

there are already

signs warning of a

golf course and it wouldn’t

hurt the city council to install

some warning of balls.

“It’s bloody awful that

she got hit, it would be nice

if they put some signs up,”

he said.

Further clarification

sought on pile driving

impact on dolphins

• By Matt Salmons

THE BANKS Peninsula

Community Board is

seeking more information

from the Lyttelton

Port Company after it

responded to questions

about efforts to mitigate

the impact on Hector’s

dolphins from pile driving.

Said community board

member Felix Dawson:

“We’ve simply asked

for the answers to the

questions that we asked,

several we haven’t received

answers to.”

Last week, questions

from were sent to LPC

through Christchurch

City Holdings Ltd, the

owner and operator of the

port, on how the negative

impacts to dolphins

from pile driving

work on the new

cruise berth would

be mitigated.

THey were sent

alongside a city

council request for

an update on the

piling operation and

marine mammal

monitoring to date.

THis week the

community board

requested a number of

questions be re-sent to

LPC, seeking sound

recording and noise level

data, the marine mammal

management plan and

information on marine

observers.

A city council

spokeswoman said any

further questions would

be co-ordinated through

the office of chief executive

Karleen Edwards.

Hector’s and Māui

Dolphin Defenders

committee member

Genevieve Robinson told

the community board on

Monday that “raw data”

was needed.

“I’ve received the

information that LPC

has provided

. . . there’s

some useful

information but

there’s some

key information

missing,” Ms

Robinson said.

In response to

the initial questions,

LPC chief executive

Peter Davie said

LPC was working with some

of the country’s “leading

marine mammal and

acoustics experts” to minimise

the effects of pile driving on

dolphins.

Mitigation steps included

18 months of recorded

data from eight passive

acoustic detectors and four

hydrophones, a monitored

exclusion zone that if a

dolphin enters, work will

cease and “soft starts” to

allow dolphins time to

Genevieve

Robinson

evacuate the harbour when

work starts.

Mr Davie said

monitoring of noise

levels and the presence of

dolphins would be ongoing.

LPC’s marine mammal

management plan, to be

provided by a marine

mammal expert from the

Cawthron Institute, would

be publicly available once

completed next month.

Noise level data from landbased

piling would also be

released publicly, once it

had been analysed.

Ms Robinson said the

revised MMMP and sound

recording data was needed

sooner, as piling was due to

start next month.

“THat might provide

us with only a threeday

window to provide

feedback,” she said.

Mr Dawson said he

found LPC’s responses

“inconsistent,” as they

had “made a point” of

saying the MMMP would

be available for feedback,

which would be considered

by the company.

“How are they going to

respond to it, let alone hear

it?”

Timeball to reopen on Friday

• By Matt Salmons

SEVEN YEARS after being

almost completely destroyed,

Lyttelton’s restored Timeball

tower will officially reopen to the

public on Friday.

After sustaining damage in the

February 22, 2011, earthquake,

the semi-deconstructed station

was then damaged beyond repair

during an aftershock later that

year.

Heritage New Zealand director

southern region Sheila Watson

said the restoration of the tower

and flagpole was finished in June,

but the area remained closed as

landscaping was finished.

After an opening ceremony,

people will be able to visit the site

during daylight hours, while at

night the tower will be lit up. Flag

displays will also feature during

the year.

OPENING: Lyttelton’s Timeball will reopen to

the public on Friday after the final touches are

completed on the restoration project.

Made In Scotland

My Grand Adventures in a Wee Country

By Billy Connolly

All roads lead home. ‘After my knighthood was announced a

woman from the BBC came to Glasgow to interview me. We

sat down in a lovely hotel in a nice part of town, and she hit

me with her first question- “This must mean a lot to you, with

you coming from nothing? “I looked at her, and I laughed

“I did? nae come from nothing, “I told her. “I come from

something. “I grew up in the tenements of post-war Glasgow.

I am very proud to be working class, and especially a

working-class Glaswegian who has worked in the shipyards.

I come from the working class. And, most of all, I come

from Scotland. Scotland is a unique and wonderful place. Its

national motto says a lot about it- Nemo me impunelacessit.

A decent translation might be- ‘By all means punch me in the

nose but prepare yourself for a kick in the arse? I did? nae

come from nothing- I come from Scotland. And this book is

about why I will always be happy and proud that I do.?

Whiskey in a Teacup

What Growing Up in the South Taught Me About Life,

Love, and Baking Biscuits By reese Witherspoon

Academy Award-winning actress, producer, and entrepreneur

Reese Witherspoon invites you into her world, where she

infuses the southern style, parties, and traditions she loves

with contemporary flair and charm.

Reese Witherspoon’s grandmother Dorothea always said that

a combination of beauty and strength made southern women

“whiskey in a teacup.” We may be delicate and ornamental

on the outside, she said, but inside we’re strong and fiery.

Reese’s southern heritage informs her whole life, and she

loves sharing the joys of southern living with practically

everyone she meets. Reese loves sharing Dorothea’s most

delicious recipes as well as her favourite southern traditions,

from midnight barn parties to backyard bridal showers,

magical Christmas mornings to rollicking honky-tonks.

It’s easy to bring a little bit of Reese’s world into your home,

no matter where you live. After all, there’s a southern side to

every place in the world, right?

Blowing the Bloody Doors Off

And Other Lessons in Life By Michael Caine

With over 100 movies to his credit over six decades,

Hollywood legend and British national treasure Michael Caine

shares the wisdom, stories, insight and skills that life has

taught him in his remarkable career - and now his 85th year.

One of our best-loved actors Michael Caine has starred in

a huge range of films - including all-time favourites - from

the classic British movies Alfie, Zulu and The Italian Job to

the Hollywood blockbusting Dark Knight trilogy, Dirty Rotten

Scoundrels, Hannah and Her Sisters and Cider House Rules.

Caine has excelled in every kind of role - with a skill that’s

made it look easy.

He knows what success takes - he’s made it to the top of

his profession from the toughest beginning. But as he says

‘Small parts can lead to big things. And if you keep doing

things right, the stars will align when you least expect it.’

Now in his 85th year he wants to share everything he’s

learned. With brilliant new insight into his life and work and

with his wonderful gift for story, this is Caine at his wise and

entertaining best.

No Spin

By Shane Warne

Everyone knows the story, or thinks they do. The leg-spinner

who rewrote the record books. One of Wisden?s five cricketers

of the twentieth century. A sporting idol across the globe. A

magnet for the tabloids. But the millions of words written and

spoken about Shane Warne since his explosive arrival on the

Test cricket scene in 1992 have only scratched the surface.

The real story has remained untold. In No Spin, Shane sets

the record straight. From his extraordinary family history to his

childhood as a budding Aussie Rules footballer in suburban

Melbourne. From the legendary ‘Gatting ball? to his historymaking

700th Test wicket. From the controversy surrounding

the diuretic pill in South Africa to his high-profile relationship

with Hollywood star Elizabeth Hurley. Nothing is off limits,

and Shane tackles it all with his trademark directness and

humour. These days an incisive, charismatic TV commentator

and analyst, the ‘Sultan of Spin? also lets us in on the

mysterious art of leg-spin bowling, revealing the secrets of

some of his deadliest deliveries.

LIBRARY: Lyttelton Primary School librarian Rita Norris (left) and Ruth Connor sort

through hundreds of donated books as they get ready for the book fair.

Bigger and better

Lyttelton book fair

• By Matt Salmons

A MOUNTAIN of donated

books is growing at

Lyttelton Primary School

in the lead up to its second

biennial book fair.

Organised by parents

from the school’s family

hub, the November 11

event would see thousands

of donated books go up for

sale out of the Lyttelton

Arts Factory.

Lyttelton Primary School

secretary and librarian Rita

Norris said the first book

fair in 2016 had boosted the

library’s stock and allowed

the school to run literary

events over the last two

years.

“It enabled us to top up

with new books as it had

been a bit depleted [after

the merger].”

The 2016 event saw the

library receive about 300

books from the more than

5000 donated, while book

sales raised $5500.

Mrs Norris said it had

meant the library could get

“back up to where it should

be.”

She said the organisers

were “just amazing” and

the school library would

not be where it was without

them.

Family hub member and

organiser Ruth Connor

said the school’s library

was looking “a lot healthier”

after the last book fair.

“But to be honest, the

whole thing needs

overhauling, especially

non-fiction. A lot of that

is 10-years-old and things

have changed.

“We need to keep the collection

exciting for kids.”

She said people could

still donate books to be sold

and organisers hoped to

“have a similar or greater

amount of books this year

and we’re well on the way.”

“If people have good

quality books, absolutely

we’d love them,” Ms Connor

said.

While they would accept

any donated books, not

everything was going to

sell, she said.

“People are always trying

to get rid of their 1980s

microwave cookbooks.”

Ms Connor said the

books were priced low,

adults books for $2 and

children’s books $1.

“People were going home

with a box load of all their

summer reading [last

year],” she said.

AFTER AN eight-month

restoration, Akaroa’s St Patrick’s

Catholic Church reopened on

THe $800,000 project included

a full restoration of the church

with major work being done to the

PEOPLE living in

Lyttelton have found

humour in the misspelling

of the port’s name on a

Spreydon street sign.

The sign for Lyttelton

St has been incorrectly

spelled ‘Lyttleton’ at the intersection

with Edinburgh

St.

Former Lyttelton

resident Andrew Massie

spotted the mistake on

Thursday and posted a

photo on the Lyttelton –

Ain’t No Place I’d Rather

Be Facebook page, gaining

a number of laughs and

likes.

“You see it quite frequently

online, people

spelling it incorrectly, but I

was really surprised to see

it on a street sign,” he said.

City council road maintenance

manager Mark

Pinner the sign “will be

corrected.”

“If it is the contractors,

even if it is their subcontractors,

error, they will

pick up the cost of replacement.”

Mr Pinner said the

city council paid by the

number of letters on street

signs, so the cost of the

misspelt sign could be

between $100 and $140.

Mistakes on street signs

were “very infrequent”, Mr

Pinner said.

“There are a lot of

stages in the process, so

potentially the error could

be from when it may have

been requested to simply

what the sign manufacturer

puts in, and even allowing

for spell checking,

names are so individual

that this isn’t a complete

fail safe” Mr Pinner said.

People commented on

Mr Massie’s post, saying

the city council could not

follow Google Maps and

MISTAKE: The

city council

says it will

replace this

incorrect

street sign in

Spreydon.

‘Lyttleton St’ blunder

gets a laugh

Hoon Hay resident

Gary Knight writes in

support of Diamond

Harbour’s Stoddart

Cottage Trust’s recent

Christchurch Civic

Trust award

I read with admiration

the recognition of

Diamond Harbour

Margaret Stoddart cottage

trust in relationship of

awareness of heritage

assets.

To have Christchurch

Civic trust category D

award bestowed on it not

only bears testimony to

the stature of this cottage

trust but the presence of a

nomination for this true

asset from a candid visitor

to the cottage is reflective of

the value and popularity of

this heritage landmark.

As the oldest Diamond

Harbour dwelling, and

birthplace of revered

Canterbury artist Margaret

would have to change

Lyttelton’s name on maps

to suit.

Mr Massie tagged the

city council in his post, but

said he had not received a

response.

“The way the current

council is performing, I’m

not surprised,” he said.

He said he thought

people may assume the

town was named for

being a “little town”. But

it was actually named

after George Lyttelton, a

member of the Canterbury

Association.

In 2016, the city council

had to pay $200 to replace

a sign incorrectly spelt

‘Moorehouse Ave’, and in

2014, a no-stopping sign

in Cathedral Square added

an extra ‘r’, resulting in

‘Catherdral’.

That sign remained in

place for four weeks before

being replaced.

Stoddart the house, museum

and craft shop within

this iconic structure is a

true hub for many both local

and from surrounding

areas.

To further compliment

the ambience it would be

certainly innovative to

adorn the interior with

original Margaret Stoddart

masterpieces.

Our People

Tina Hutchison-Thomas

From Star Wars to wearable art

The colourful garments

seen on stage and screen

are the bread and butter

of Mt Pleasant’s Tina

Hutchison-Thomas.

Matt Salmons caught up

with the World of Wearable

Art New Zealand design

award-winner

Where did you grow up?

I was born in Christchurch

and I’m basically a Cantabrian

through and through. I was here

for my whole life until I went to

Sydney. I did the fashion and

design course at CPIT. That was

a two-year course.

What about your family?

I met my husband Tim when

I was 14 and he was 16. He took

me to my first formal. We dated

for a couple of months and then

went our separate ways. We met

again at a friend’s 20th. We’ve

now got three children, Lily, 13,

Harry, 11, and Maddie, 9. They’re

all creative in their own right.

Lily is more an artist, Harry is

more into music and Maddie

is more into performing arts.

They see my long hours, but they

understand and see my passion.

Hopefully, that can evolve into a

passion for their careers.

What was your first job after

study?

My first job was with the

Southern Ballet as the wardrobe

mistress. It hadn’t had a

wardrobe mistress for ages and

the place was a bit of a wreck. I

was just up for any challenge so I

said ‘yes, I can do it’. The first big

end-of-year show I did required

30 tutus and I had no idea how to

make them. I pulled a tutu apart,

worked out how it was made and

then roped in a whole bunch of

ballet mums to get the job done.

That was my first experience of

a 70-hour week and strangely I

wanted to come back. I think it

was enough to get me hooked.

What do you like about

costume designing?

All my costume skills, I’ve

learned on the job. There’s way

more sowing and handwork than

you’d have in fashion. It’s much

more labour intensive which is

what I enjoy the most.

Where to from there?

There wasn’t a great deal of

costume work in Christchurch

so I jumped on a plane at 21 to

go to Sydney. I hated it, it was

awful. I wanted to go straight

into costume, but I didn’t have

enough experience so I ended up

in retail. I came back and worked

with the Court Theatre for three

years. One of my contacts got

work on Star Wars: Revenge of

the Sith. I put my hand up and

we went back to Sydney for four

years in 2003. That was a massive

eye-opener.

Did you work on any

costumes people would know?

I did Jimmy Smits’ costumes,

he was Bail Organa (in Star

Wars: Revenge of the Sith). I

STUDIO: Tina Hutchison-Thomas at home in her studio with the World of Wearable Art award

she won for her Eye See you Fluffy Kōwhai costume design.

also got to work on the actual

Darth Vader costume and a

bit of work on Keisha Castle-

Hughes’ costume. I was basically

in charge of the silk velvet. It’s

really temperamental. If you’re

making costumes, it’s your

least favourite fabric as it has a

mind of it’s own, it’s expensive

and it’s really hard to get. After

that, I free-lanced at Sydney

Theatre Company and Opera

Australia. I also worked for a

company that made costumes for

the touring show of Phantom of

the Opera in which they sent me

to South Africa and China.

When did you come back to

NZ?

I got pregnant when we were

in Sydney and we had our first

child over there. I got pregnant

again quite quickly and we

came back to Christchurch at

the end of 2006. I worked for a

little bit with Southern Opera

while having another child. I

then ended up back at the Court

Theatre. We’ll probably move

back to Sydney when the kids

grow up, who knows.

Was that when you landed the

job working on New Zealand

film The Stolen?

I got to design that, which was

really exciting as that had been

a life goal for me. I brought my

dear friend Joanna Grenke over

to help. She’s the menswear tailor

at Sydney Theatre Company. We

hired a whole bunch of locals

as well. It was a real challenge

but the Court Theatre was a

great resource and we hired

more costumes from Auckland.

Not only did I design all the

costumes, but I ran the costume

department, cut patterns,

stitched costumes, and worked as

a wardrobe standby. No wonder

I needed a break after that film.

There were so many extras, it

really pushes you to your limits.

I did at least one 100-hour week.

But I knew it would be tough and

I’m always up for a challenge.

Why did you leave the Court

Theatre?

I’d got to a point in my career

where I felt that I wanted the

next challenge, so I left and

have been working in freelance

costuming ever since. Then

WOW came up. I said ‘I’ll give

it a go’. I never thought I was

an arty kind of person, I was

always a purist when it came

to costume. My idea ‘geogami’

came up very quickly and just

evolved as I worked on it and

I got into the final, so that

was really exciting. It was a

great experience and it’s very

addictive. As soon as I came

back I was thinking about what

to do this year.

How was it working without

the constraints of a script?

I found that difficult. When

I’m designing for a show, it’s

much more collaborative. But

designing a costume without

constraints, it was a challenge.

And I really struggled writing

about the piece. For me, there

have always been guidelines, so

that was the hardest part. But

it was different, so that’s why I

liked it.

Where did the idea for this

year’s design come from?

For my entry this year,

I wanted to do something

completely different, which is

why everything was soft and

fluffy. I’d done spikes before.

Last year I saw what the judges

were looking for in the winning

designs. I knew they liked

sparkly detail and interesting use

of fabric. I put them all together

and ended up with the crazy

Fluffy Kōwhai inspired by the

poodle moth.

That’s not a common moth,

where did you hear about it?

One of the sections this year

was ‘under the microscope’.

So I was looking at moths and

butterflies and the poodle moth

caught my eye. I thought what

is that? I hadn’t seen a lot of fur

in other shows so I thought I’d

give it a go. It allowed me to do

both fabric dying and sparkly. I

spent ages doing the eyes, way

longer than I anticipated. The

problem was that I had four

other jobs on at the same time

to finish. I missed the shipping

deadline but my dad and my

step-mum offered to take it to

Nelson. I finished it at 5am and

they picked it up at 8am, it was a

bit of a mission. I’ve done some

long hours, but I’d never done an

all-nighter in my 20-something

years in costuming.

Will you enter next year?

I don’t know. I was just saying

to Tim this morning that maybe

that’s another box ticked for me.

It depends on the workload, but

that doesn’t seem to be a problem

for me, I just keep saying yes to

everything, so we’ll see.

An oldie but a goodie

Ferrymead Rotary’s

Barbara Crooks talks about

one of the club’s earliest

projects and the relevance

it has today

The old saying that things get

better with age certainly applies

to one of Ferrymead Rotary’s

longest-standing projects.

Research coinciding with the

club’s 25 th anniversary celebrations

in September revealed

that one of its earliest projects

was organising an outing for

Bay Harbour senior citizens to

Christchurch’s Botanical Gardens

and the central city.

The trips, which are timed

to take advantage of the spring

flowering, have remained a regular

on Ferrymead Rotary’s calendar.

And this year, in response

to the popularity of the trip, two

groups – 24 senior citizens in

total – were recruited and taken

on different days.

Maree McGovern, from the

Sumner Bays Union Trust,

sourced the participants, and

Rotary organised the transport

and provided the driver and support

crew.

Participants were driven to the

gardens where they tapped into

the one-hour guided tour.

Afterwards, they were shouted

lunch and taken on a tour of the

central city. Songs from a bygone

era resonated as they cruised

around the city’s emerging,

new-look commercial heart; the

Oxford Tce ‘strip’, the justice

precinct, the cinema complex,

residential housing, the proposed

site for the sports centre

and stadium, and other spots of

interest.

Year-on-year feedback has

been the crucial driver for the

continuing success of the trips.

The senior citizen ‘customers’

have been unanimous in attesting

to their enjoyment of the day.

In recent years several have said

this was their first trip to the

central city since the earthquake,

and a number have rated it as

their major outing of the year.

In September around 50 people

gathered at a special cocktail

party at The Tannery to celebrate

Ferrymead Rotary’s quartercentury.

The occasion brought

together current and former

members, friends of the club, and

representatives from the neighbouring

Linwood Woolston,

Lyttelton and Christchurch South

Rotary clubs.

Ferrymead Rotary was formed

in 1993 as a result of a Linwood

Woolston membership drive.

When interest emerged in

forming a new club, Linwood

Woolston changed tack and
