Mr Burgess, 88, owned Mitchell’s grocery store on the corner of Nayland and Menzies Sts and Mrs Burgess worked as a secretary for Fletcher Industries. They first met on Guy Fawkes night in 1950 during a dance at the Papanui RSA. Mr Burgess recalls the night: “I remember Shirley being a very good dancer, I had two left feet and still have. I asked her for a dance and was surprised when she accepted. The next step was asking her to attend supper together – she accepted again – then I was so happy when she said, yes, when I asked if I could take her home. Little did she know I didn’t have a car – just an old bike – and her home was a good 10km away.” Mrs Burgess said they clicked straight away. “I worked in Riccarton and had seen him around and rather fancied him so was very excited when I saw him at the dance. I LOVE: Ron and Shirley Burgess on their wedding day in 1954. was even more excited when he asked me to dance with him. Even the bumpy ride home didn’t put me off,” she said. Mr Burgess has been the coach, secretary and president of the Sumner Rugby Football Club and also the bowling club, secretary of the Sumner School committee, a member of Sumner Round Table and heavily involved in the Sumner Presbyterian Church. Mrs Burgess has been involved in Sumner Plunket, the Sumner School parent and teacher association, the kindergarten, and the Sumner Guides committee. Both helped Meals on Wheels for 22 years. The happy couple continue to be involved in the community, with Mr Burgess still an active member of the Sumner Bowling Club and Mrs Burgess a member of the local Probus club. Governors Bay bus •From page 1 However, Mr Gibbon said Gov Bus was the most sustainable option. Mr Gibbon said the 2010 service performed poorly in its short period of operation. “It was not possible to continue operating it in the post-earthquake environment where the bus network immediately faced severe financial constraints,” he said. About 20 residents met last Wednesday to discuss what possible routes would work best for the community. “We want to establish a public IN THE February 13 edition of Bay Harbour News, it was reported city council manager of community parks Al Hardy said it was not a possibility for the Akaroa Catholic cemetery to be extended into the vacant land next to it. This was incorrect. What Mr Hardy said was there are no current plans to extend the cemetery. It was also incorrectly reported the cemetery was full except for burials in pre-purchased plots and second internments. bus, whether that is extending another service or reinstigating what was trialled in 2010, I don’t know,” Ms Schulte said. Gov Bus chairman Hugh MacEwan said he fully supported Ms Schulte in her campaign for a public bus service. “Gov Bus for various reasons cannot satisfy the needs of the community, a lot of that has to do with the fact that we don’t have enough volunteers.” The service does not operate on weekends or public holidays and bookings must be made the day before. Akaroa cemetery In response to requests from residents and the Banks Peninsula Community Board, city council staff conducted a survey of the operational area to identify additional burial plots. This work led to an additional 14 burial plots being made available at the cemetery. These additional plots have extended the capacity for burial in the Akaroa area another four to five years based on current demand. Bay Harbour News apologises for the errors.

Wednesday February 27 2019 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi BAY HARBOUR Local News Now PAGE 5 Fire rages, homes at risk ‘Confusion’ over open road signs Police boss wants them replaced • By Anan Zaki TOURISTS ARE driving too slow because they don’t know what an open road sign means. Senior Sergeant Pete Stills is calling on the signs to be removed and replaced with signs stating the speed limit. Open roads are marked with a black stripe in a white circle (right) and have a speed limit of 100km/h. Pete Stills “I don’t like open road signs. So many people nowadays don’t know what they are, particularly foreign drivers.” “I stopped a couple of Chinese girls . . . last year and they were doing 70km/h because that was the last actual sign they had seen, although they had gone past the open road sign but they didn’t know what it was,” he said. “We should just have a speed limit on the sign so that there’s no confusion on what the speed limit is.” However, Senior Sergeant Stills’ pleas have fallen on deaf ears. The New Zealand Transport Agency had no plans to change the way the signs look. Said an NZTA spokeswoman: “The de-restricted sign has been an option for road controlling authorities to sign the default open road speed limit in New Zealand for many years. It was retained when we went to 100km/h as the upper speed limit on the open road,” an NZTA spokeswoman said. But Automobile Association principal adviser regulations Mark Stockdale agreed some tourists may not be familiar with the open road sign. “Although they [tourists] are encouraged to familiarise themselves with New Zealand road rules and road rule collateral is provided by many rental companies,” Mr Stockdale said. He said open road signs are still authorised signs and other factors may be in play when it comes to tourists driving slowly. Said Mr Stockdale: “The fact that some visiting drivers are travelling below the speed limit may also suggest that they are driving at a speed that feels comfortable to them based on the look and feel of the road.” •HAVE YOUR SAY: Do you think open road signs should be replaced with speed limit signs?
