4 Thursday July 23 2020 Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz SOUTHERN VIEW GREAT WINTER READS INSTORE NOW! NEW RELEASES Leading Lady: A life in the spotlight by Vivienne allan Articulate and intelligent, Eve Poole had a passion for the theatre andthe arts. Her desire to protect one of Invercargill’s cultural icons led her into politics and she was elected as the city’s first woman mayor in 1983. Cath Tizard broke similar ground in Auckland that year – the two becoming trailblazers at each end of the country. As a member of the QEII Arts Council, Eve played an active role in encouraging the visual and performing arts across the country. She was equally at home on the stage as an actor and director; on popular national TV shows, and as a member of the NZ Committee on Women. Vivienne Allan tells the story of her mother’s life with warmth and honesty, beginning with the struggle to find passage out of Germany in the 1930s. When war broke out Eve, still only 17 and living with her family in Tel Aviv, joined the British Army, serving as a driver in Egypt. There she met her NZ husband and, after discharge, moved to Invercargill to raise their family. Eve’s practicality, determination and humanity saw her retain the mayoralty for four terms until her death in 1992.

Metamorphosis: A Scientist’s Story by Glen Metcalf “There has been a revolution in women’s lives in the ninety years since I was born. We have emerged from a stultifying era when we were chattels of men into an age when even the most powerful positions in New Zealand are open to women. I have lived through stirring times.” The story of one woman’s transformation from a traditional Kiwi ‘housewife’ of the 1950s into a Career Fellow of the New Zealand Medical Research Council The Silk House by Kayte nunn Weaving.

SOUTHERN VIEW Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Thursday July 23 2020 5 News Volunteers go with flow to share heritage A RESTORED 19th-century waterwheel – along with a group of hardy volunteers – is driving interest in a popular heritage park overlooking Lyttelton Harbour. Orton Bradley Park in Charteris Bay is home to one of the few operating historical waterwheels in New Zealand, along with Canterbury’s oldest stone structure – the Old Stone Cottage – built in 1848. Supported by a city council heritage incentive grant, the ongoing maintenance of the rare waterwheel and old stables continues to help draw people to the site. City council head of urban regeneration, design and heritage Carolyn Ingles said that the waterwheel and stables are very worthy of the city’s support. “While Christchurch continues to look to the future, it is equally important to value our past and the early innovation that has helped shape our region,” Ms Ingles said. “Both the stables and the mill house are scheduled as significant heritage items in the District Plan.” Park manager Ian Luxford said its owner, Orton Bradley, devised a clever system in 1893 using water – via the waterwheel – to drive a generator to power HARD-WORKING: Malcolm Pearson, 90, Dick Barnett, 93, Colin McLeod, 80, and Paul Willan, 80, have shown a long commitment to Orton Bradley Park and its history. his home and various tools, including a grindstone for blade shearers. Mr Luxford, who has overseen the park for 12 years, said the grant has helped ensure that the waterwheel continues to operate, and – along with the rest of the park’s heritage precinct – offer a special insight into colonial life in Canterbury. “Bradley imported the waterwheel from Britain,” he said. “It was the time of the industrial revolution and waterwheels were being pulled out of factories and workshops and replaced, so Bradley brought one out here to use on his farm. “It is an amazing heritage piece, providing electricity for the homestead, and a really important part of our colonial history and the area’s development as people made the most of what they had.” Mr Luxford said Mr Bradley “was really an innovator, rather than a farmer.” After taking over the property from his father in 1892, Bradley held a lifelong interest in science and technology, and was a pioneer in ecology, recognising the importance of habitats. Mr Luxford said that volunteers – aged in their 70s and 80s – “help power the park today.” He said that the restored flax mill house, farm buildings, stables and machinery are all in working order, “thanks to our volunteers,” who have also maintained the replica of the original Bradley family home, reconstructed from park timber and now a summer cafe. “We are very fortunate to have a group of dedicated volunteers who carry out a range of maintenance projects, including recladding buildings, creating special items in our workshop and ensuring that our heritage precinct is well-maintained,” Mr Luxford said. “One of the volunteers has painted the heritage buildings several times.” He said that all the volunteers have shown amazing commitment to the park and its history. “Today we have so many families coming to enjoy the park, splash in the stream and explore the heritage buildings.” People visiting the 650ha site can also take in walking and mountain bike tracks, an adventure playground, a waterfall and native trees. It remains a working farm 175 years later. 5 Warning Signs of Spinal Stress! André Grob, Dr of Chiropractic, has had over 15 years experience of specialty spinal care in Australia and New Zealand.
