Blooming beautiful competition<br />
Parents<br />
take issue<br />
with<br />
school<br />
zoning<br />
proposal<br />
COLOUR: Ruth Vercoe who is the founder of Spreydon’s sunflower competition.<br />
• By Avneesh Vincent<br />
SPREYDON WILL be blooming<br />
in sunflowers again this summer.<br />
The second annual sunflower<br />
competition is under way with<br />
about 14,000 seeds being distributed<br />
to 1245 residents.<br />
Said competition founder<br />
Ruth Vercoe: “The aim of the<br />
competition is that it is accessible<br />
to everyone. The seeds are<br />
given out for free and there is no<br />
entry fee which reduces barriers<br />
to participation. Gaining funding<br />
will support this aim.”<br />
About 20 volunteers have<br />
helped deliver the seeds into<br />
residents’ letterboxes.<br />

A GROUP of parents are<br />
concerned a school has not<br />
followed the correct process<br />
during a proposal to change its<br />
zoning.<br />
Somerfield School intends to<br />
amend its enrolment scheme<br />
home zone to manage the<br />
increasing school roll and<br />
proposes a decrease in the zone’s<br />
size.<br />
But current and prospective<br />
parents are concerned the school<br />
did not follow the rules set out<br />
by the Ministry of Education,<br />
including a lack of consultation.<br />
Principal Denise Torrey said<br />
she was unable to comment until<br />
the school met with the community<br />
at the board of trustees<br />
meeting tonight.<br />
Parents have largely taken<br />
issue to proposed changes to the<br />
western boundary of the zone<br />
because some streets will be cut<br />
in half and some homes will<br />
miss out.<br />

$40k for St Martins stream<br />
ALMOST $40,000 of Immediate<br />
Steps biodiversity funding has<br />
helped some hard-working<br />
locals protect water quality and<br />
biodiversity values along Albert<br />
Stream in St Martins.<br />
The funding, recommended by<br />
the Christchurch West Melton<br />
Water Zone Committee, helped<br />
the Port Hills Park Trust plant<br />
more than 3000 natives as part<br />
of this restoration and enhancement<br />
project.<br />
“The project aligns with the<br />
committee’s priority to reduce<br />
sediment runoff in the Port Hills<br />
and enhance in stream biodiversity<br />
values,” committee chair<br />
Kevin Brown said.<br />
Albert Stream is a tributary of<br />
the Ōpāwaho/Heathcote River<br />
that originates on the western<br />
slope of the Port Hills.<br />
“It’s important that we<br />
have ongoing protection and<br />
enhancement work throughout<br />
these upper catchment areas, as<br />
they all affect the rivers below,”<br />
Brown said.<br />
“By planting waterways in<br />
the higher catchment areas, the<br />
sediment is filtered early, which<br />
means it doesn’t end up in the<br />
Ōpāwaho/Heathcote River and<br />
smother the plant and life that<br />
lives in those lower waterways.<br />
The revolution<br />
in heat pumps<br />
is here now!<br />
“We’ve got a long way to go<br />
to address some of these challenges,<br />
but community-driven<br />
projects like this are a great step<br />
forward,” he added.<br />
Planting the natives was made<br />
even more difficult by earthquake<br />
damage causing uplift,<br />
new springs, and fissures<br />
The area was also overwhelmed<br />
by pest plants including<br />
gorse, broom, boneseed, and<br />
wilding pines.<br />

Following the planting, and<br />
ongoing community trapping<br />
efforts targeting possums and<br />

some significant improvements<br />
in and around Albert Stream,<br />
including:<br />
• A reduction in sediment<br />
flowing into the stream.<br />
• Documented sightings of<br />

Supporting women through hardship<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
A SENSE of belonging and<br />
purpose has been the driving<br />
force behind the success of a<br />
women’s support group in the<br />
last two decades.<br />
The Women’s Social Support<br />
Group at the Woolston Development<br />
Project recently marked its<br />
20th anniversary of nurturing<br />
the lives of women across the<br />
city.<br />
The group provides social<br />
opportunities for women from<br />
a diverse range of backgrounds,<br />
including those facing unemployment,<br />
mothers of children<br />
with disabilities, or carers of sick<br />
family members for long periods<br />
of time.<br />
WDP manager and facilitator<br />
Bev Adams has been involved<br />
with the group since its inception<br />
and said its importance has<br />
been highlighted now more than<br />
ever due to Covid-19.<br />
“The founding members<br />
identified a concern that local<br />
women were becoming more<br />
isolated due to low income and<br />
increasing health issues,” she<br />
said.<br />
“We’ve seen a lot of changes<br />
over the years, but isolation is<br />
still an issue for women. Covid-19<br />
showed how isolated people<br />
actually were because they hadn’t<br />
MILESTONE: Woolston Development Project manager Bev Adams facilitates the many<br />
outings and activities at the Women’s Social Support Group, which celebrates its<br />
20th-anniversary this year.<br />
built those community connections<br />
over time.”<br />
The women’s group was<br />
established in 2000 and started<br />
with 10 members, but it has now<br />
grown to more than 35.<br />
Activities such as arts and<br />
craft, games and bus outings<br />
were on offer to enable women<br />
to build positive relationships,<br />

develop practical leisure skills<br />
and increase awareness of other<br />
opportunities city-wide.<br />
Adams said the dynamic of<br />
the group shifted over time<br />
because members were able to<br />
confide in each other around<br />
issues such as domestic violence,<br />
rather than attending just for the<br />
activities.<br />
This was particularly apparent<br />
following the 2010 and 2011<br />
earthquakes.<br />
Said Adams: “Pre-earthquakes,<br />
women came there to enjoy the<br />
activities. When the earthquakes<br />
hit we were closed for six weeks,<br />
but they still depended on those<br />
connections they had made especially<br />
as many struggled with<br />
losing their houses.<br />
“The whole dynamic of the<br />
group since then has changed.<br />
People are much more caring<br />
and they never hesitate to check<br />
in on each other.”<br />
Many women readily accepted<br />
the care and responsibility of<br />
their families, whether it was<br />
young children, ageing parents<br />
or unwell partners.<br />
Adams said this was often<br />
to the detriment of their own<br />
health and well-being, therefore<br />
the group helped women take<br />
some time out for themselves,<br />
and develop lifelong friendships.<br />
It impacted their lives due<br />
to learning new skills such as<br />
gardening, cooking, making<br />
clothes or having a hobby, which<br />
lifted self-esteem and confidence.<br />

have been working 24/7 to<br />

finances or organising medical<br />
needs and never think about what<br />
they want or need,” she<br />
said.<br />

‘It’s nice to make new friends’<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
MAKING FRIENDS in a new<br />
city can often be no easy feat,<br />
but for Gloria Brown, joining a<br />
successful women’s group was a<br />
decision that paid off.<br />
Brown is one of the last<br />
remaining founding members<br />
of the Women’s Social Support<br />
Group.<br />
The Woolston resident moved<br />
to Christchurch from Timaru<br />
in 1992 and joined the WDP<br />
after a spontaneous decision to<br />
give it a go.<br />
Said Brown: “I joined the<br />
group because I didn’t know<br />
many people when I moved<br />
up here, and I was looking for<br />
friends, a job and things to do.<br />
I found a leaflet in my letterbox<br />
about it and I ended up joining<br />
that day.<br />
“It’s great because there’s<br />
always new members coming<br />
through, so it’s nice to make<br />
new friends. Some members<br />
even come from the other side<br />
of town.”<br />
Many came and went over<br />
the years, but now only two<br />
founding members remained –<br />
Brown, along with Patsy Kerr.<br />
Joining in on the fun became<br />
a weekly ritual for Brown, who<br />
seldom misses a meeting.<br />
RITUAL: Gloria Brown was a founding member of the<br />
Women’s Social Support Group and has been part of<br />
the organisation ever since. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />
Along with arts and crafts,<br />
regular excursions to attractions<br />
such as the Christchurch<br />
Gondola, the Botanic Gardens<br />
or punting on the Avon River<br />
were activities she enjoyed the<br />
most.<br />
The companionship and lifelong<br />
friendships were why she<br />
remained at the group for the<br />
last two decades, especially the<br />
support she felt when she lost<br />
her home in the February 22,<br />
2011, earthquake.<br />
“It’s helped a lot of women,<br />
especially when they’ve been<br />
lonely. I don’t know where I<br />
would’ve been [otherwise].”<br />

The Reacher Guy<br />
by heather Martin<br />
Lee Child is the thriller writer responsible for countless international bestsellers - as well<br />
as the iconic character of Jack Reacher. Yet despite being revered by millions of readers<br />
around the globe, little is actually known about the enigmatic man behind the novels.<br />
The Lee Child origin myth is a much-loved one: it sees the author springing, fully formed,<br />
from the brow of Granada Television. But this is the first time that anyone has revealed<br />
the Lee Child arc: from peaceful obscurity in the Yorkshire Dales to cult status as a literary<br />
rockstar, through to backlash, the changing zeitgeist and intimations of retirement.<br />
The Reacher Guy is an explosive and riveting biography of a much-loved and<br />
mythologised author. In it, Heather Martin looks closely at where Child really sprang from.<br />
Based on disarmingly frank personal conversations and years of correspondence with the<br />
author, as well as privileged access to archival materials, it the nearest thing the world is<br />
ever likely to get to the autobiography Lee Child does not intend to write.<br />
Maiden Voyages<br />
Women and the Golden Age of Transatlantic Travel<br />
by sian evans<br />
How the Golden Age of transatlantic travel between the wars transformed women’s<br />
lives across all classes - a vivid portrait of life on-board the iconic ocean liners. Before<br />
convenient air travel, transatlantic travel was the province of the great ocean liners<br />
and never more so than in the glory days of the interwar years. It was an extraordinary<br />
undertaking made by many women. Some travelled for leisure, some for work; others to<br />
find a new life, marriage, to reinvent themselves or find new opportunities. Their stories<br />
have remained largely untold - until now. Maiden Voyages is a fascinating portrait of<br />
these women, and their lives on board magnificent ocean liners as they sailed between<br />
the old and the new worlds. The ocean liner was a microcosm of contemporary society,<br />
divided by class: from the luxury of the upper deck, playground for the rich and famous,<br />
to the cramped conditions of steerage or third class travel. These iconic liners were filled<br />
with women of all ages, classes and backgrounds: celebrities and refugees, migrants<br />
and millionairesses, aristocrats and crew members.<br />
Sam Bloom: Heartache & Birdsong<br />
by Cameron Bloom samantha Bloom Bradley trevor<br />
Greive<br />
The follow-up to the ABIA award-winning, international bestselling sensation<br />
Penguin Bloom - the miraculous tale of a baby magpie that helped save a young<br />
mother and her family - is a homegrown and international bestseller; soon to<br />
be a major Hollywood movie, starring Naomi Watts and Andrew Lincoln. Sam’s<br />
personal message at the end of the book has resonated powerfully with readers<br />
- where, pulling no punches, she writes about what it is really like to face life in<br />
a wheelchair. In Sam Bloom, Sam tells her own story for the first time - how a<br />
shy but determined Australian girl became a nurse and travelled across Africa.<br />
How she fell in love with a like-minded free spirit, raised three boys and built<br />
a life together on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. And then, in a single horrific<br />
moment, how everything changed. Sam’s journey back from the edge of death<br />
and the depths of despair is so much more than an account of overcoming adversity. Sam’s captivating true story - written<br />
by close friend, New York Times bestselling author Bradley Trevor Greive, and featuring extraordinary photographs taken by<br />
Sam’s husband, Cameron Bloom - is humbling, heartbreaking and uplifting in equal measure. A triumph of raw emotion and<br />
incredible beauty, Sam Bloom: Heartache & Birdsong is a truly unforgettable book.<br />
Think Like a Monk<br />
The secret of how to harness the power of positivity and be happy<br />
by Jay shetty<br />
Jay Shetty, social media superstar and host of the #1 podcast ‘On Purpose’, distils the<br />
timeless wisdom he learned as a practising monk into practical steps anyone can take<br />
every day to live a less anxious, more meaningful life.<br />
In this inspiring, empowering book, Shetty draws on his time as a monk in the Vedic<br />
tradition to show us how we can clear the roadblocks to our potential and power. Drawing<br />
on ancient wisdom and his own rich experiences in the ashram, Think Like a Monk reveals<br />
how to overcome negative thoughts and habits, and access the calm and purpose that lie<br />
within all of us. The lessons monks learn are profound but often abstract. Shetty transforms<br />
them into advice and exercises we can all apply to reduce stress, improve focus, improve<br />
relationships, identify our hidden abilities, increase self-discipline and give the gifts we find<br />
in ourselves to the world. Shetty proves that everyone can – and should – think like a monk.<br />
The Secret Life of the Savoy<br />
and the D’Oyly Carte family<br />
by olivia Williams<br />
The story of the Savoy’s founders, through three generations and a hundred years of luxury<br />
In 1889, Victorian impresario Richard D’Oyly Carte opened The Savoy, Britain’s first luxury<br />
hotel. Allowing the rich to live like royalty, it attracted glamour, scandal and a cast of<br />
eccentric characters, with the D’Oyly Carte family elevated to a unique vantage point on high<br />
society.<br />
The Secret Life of the Savoy tells their story through three generations: Richard (a showman<br />
who made his fortune from the Gilbert and Sullivan operas), Rupert (who expanded the<br />
D’Oyly Carte empire through two world wars and the roaring twenties), and Bridget (the<br />
reluctant heiress and last of the family line).<br />
In this, the first biography of the family, Olivia Williams revives their extroardinary cultural<br />
legacy, told through the prism of their iconic hotel and its many distinguished guests.<br />

Book sale is back<br />
CHRISTCHURCH City<br />
Libraries’ annual Big Bargain<br />
Book Sale is back on tomorrow<br />
and Saturday following two<br />
COVID-19-enforced delays.<br />
The Big Bargain Book Sale will<br />
be held at Pioneer Stadium from<br />
9am-7pm tomorrow and Saturday<br />
from 9am-4pm.<br />
The sale was initially set for<br />
March and then postponed until<br />
August because of the pandemicrelated<br />
restrictions.<br />
City council head of libraries<br />
and information Carolyn Robertson<br />
said the popular book sale<br />
is “well overdue but now there<br />
are even more bargains on offer”.<br />
“We will stack up thousands of<br />
withdrawn library books, magazines<br />
and DVDs for the public to<br />
take home and enjoy,” Robertson<br />
said.<br />
“We have found that more<br />
people have returned to reading,<br />
with books filling an often empty<br />
space during lockdown.<br />
“People are also always looking<br />
for a bargain, along with a great<br />
read. At the Big Bargain Book<br />
Sale, we can offer both.”<br />
Sale prices start at $1 for books<br />
for young adults and children,<br />
rising to $3 for adults’ books and<br />
DVDs, CDs and talking books. A<br />
range of motor manuals will also<br />
be available.<br />
A selection of premium art,<br />
landscape and gardening books<br />
will cost slightly more.<br />
People can also pick up five<br />
magazines for just $1.<br />
Call for consultation<br />
period to be extended<br />
• From page 1<br />
Streets affected will be Conway<br />
St, Stanbury Ave, Roberta<br />
Drive and Rose St.<br />
A Somerfield prospective<br />
parent who did not want to<br />
be named for fear of backlash,<br />
objected to most aspects of<br />
the proposal and wanted the<br />
school’s board to extend the<br />
public consultation period until<br />
at least February next year.<br />
Consultation on the matter<br />
closed on September 25.<br />
“The community affected has<br />
not been adequately consulted<br />
on a number of levels; there were<br />
no mail drops to affected households,”<br />
he said.<br />
“Only parents of current<br />
students were likely to stumble<br />
upon it in a school newsletter,<br />
or through talking with other<br />
parents.”<br />
Along with a lack of consultation,<br />
the parent took issue to the<br />
proposed zone as some streets<br />
did not specify which house<br />
numbers would be affected.<br />
A lack of supporting data<br />
behind decisions to reduce the<br />
zone, longer travel distances for<br />
some students and the overlapping<br />
of other zones were also<br />
why they reject the current<br />
proposal.<br />
FACILITIES: Parents<br />
are asking why more<br />
classrooms couldn’t have<br />
been added to Somerfield<br />
School.<br />
The Somerfield parent said<br />
it was “incongruous” that the<br />
school was unable to cope with<br />
a few more students, yet heavily<br />
invested in a recent revamp of<br />
school facilities.<br />
“Somerfield School can find<br />
funding for 10-plus flash, new<br />
classrooms – it has an amazing<br />
custom designed playground<br />
area and bike park – yet it is<br />
unable to accommodate all the<br />
families in our community,” he<br />
said.<br />
“A bike park is great, but how<br />
many new classrooms could<br />
have been put there instead?”

Connecting business with community<br />
• By Avneesh Vincent<br />
CHRISTCHURCH’S first<br />
Learning Exchange platform was<br />
launched last week by Sumner<br />
Bays Union Trust.<br />
The online project will help<br />
connect businesses with the<br />
community.<br />
“It’s a web-based platform<br />
which will also give the small<br />
businesses an opportunity to<br />
give workshops and promote<br />
their products and services<br />
through our platform,” said<br />
Learning Exchange co-ordinator<br />
Eve Wingerath.<br />
She said it would help people<br />
could reach out and learn different<br />
skills from other people in<br />
the community.<br />
The platform was supposed to<br />
be released this January but got<br />
delayed due to Covid-19. Since<br />
the lockdown, a lot of small<br />
businesses had suffered both financially<br />
and emotionally. It also<br />
would help people to come out of<br />
their isolation and feel involved<br />
in a learning process.<br />
About 50 people have volunteered<br />
to teach their skills<br />
through workshops and more<br />
than 100 people have shown<br />
interest to participate.<br />
The current workshops would<br />
include lessons on sewing, composting,<br />
plant-powered kitchens,<br />
and so forth.<br />
Wingerath said these courses<br />
would take place in different locations,<br />
based on the organiser’s<br />
preference, and would be limited<br />
to 12 people. The restrictions<br />
around attendance were due to<br />
the concerns of the venue capacity<br />
and Covid-19 limitations.<br />
The trust had worked with<br />
Bridge2Rocks Timebank so that<br />
people could pay with time.<br />
“You will get one credit per<br />
hour of teaching and you could<br />
use that credit to pay for some<br />
other course you want to learn.<br />
It’s a commerce of time,” said<br />
Wingerath.<br />
About $12000 was invested<br />
in the process of launching this<br />
SKILLS: Eddie Hayes and<br />
Eve Wingerath are working<br />
to make the Learning<br />
Exchange web-based<br />
platform a success.<br />
platform which included costs of<br />
creation of a website, acquiring<br />
teaching resources, databases,<br />
and so forth.<br />
She said the Learning Exchange<br />
at present covered the<br />
communities of Sumner, Redcliffs,<br />
Heathcote, Mt Pleasant,<br />
and Woolston.<br />
“Other communities could<br />
also approach and share what<br />
they want to do with their ideas,<br />
however that is something for<br />
later,” Wingerath said.<br />

Feedback wanted on facilities<br />
GROUPS KEEN to make use<br />
of the city’s new pools and<br />
recreation facilities are being<br />
invited to register their interest.<br />
The city council is encouraging<br />
groups to have their say at<br />
information sessions this month<br />
regarding the future use of the<br />
new Metro Sports Facility, Te<br />
Pou Toetoe: Linwood Pool, and<br />
the Hornby Centre.<br />
“We’ve had great feedback<br />
from people about the designs of<br />
our new facilities, and want to<br />
continue to see a diverse range of<br />
activities happening across our<br />
network of recreation and sport<br />
centres,” said city council head<br />
of recreation, sports and events<br />
Nigel Cox.<br />
“Getting an early indication<br />
of requirements means we can<br />
work together on the allocation of<br />
space and prepare well in advance<br />
of the new facilities opening. This<br />
is all about getting more people<br />
more active more often.”<br />
Te Pou Toetoe: Linwood<br />
Pool will be the first of the<br />
new facilities to open. The<br />
$22m facility is being built in<br />
Linwood Park on the corner of<br />
Linwood Ave and Smith St and is<br />
scheduled to open late next year.<br />
It will have a multi-use<br />
25m lane pool, a deep-water<br />
splash pool, a family spa pool,<br />
learn-to-swim pool, and a pool<br />
for toddlers and water deck.<br />
Community meeting rooms and<br />
a kitchen will also be available.<br />
The Metro Sports Facility will<br />
be the next to open, in 2022. It<br />
is being built on the corner of<br />
Moorhouse Ave and Antigua<br />
St.<br />
It will have a 10-lane 50m<br />
competition pool with spectator<br />
seating, a diving pool, leisure<br />
pools, five hydro slides,<br />
nine multipurpose indoor<br />
courts, group fitness rooms, a<br />
performance movement centre,<br />
an aquatic sensory space, and a<br />
high-performance sports centre<br />
with facilities for coaching and<br />
training.<br />
The third facility – the new<br />
community and recreational<br />
centre in Hornby – is scheduled<br />
to open in late 2022. It will have<br />
a lane pool, a learn-to-swim pool<br />
and multipurpose rooms, as<br />
well as a library and a customer<br />
service centre.<br />
“We are running two drop-in<br />
information sessions later this<br />
month where groups interested<br />
in using these facilities can<br />
learn more about what they will<br />
offer. If people would prefer to<br />
meet with us individually to<br />
discuss their needs we are also<br />
HAVE YOUR<br />
SAY: Groups<br />
are encouraged<br />

happy to do that,” Cox said.<br />
The drop-in information<br />
sessions will be held in the Level<br />
1 Function Room of the Civic<br />
Offices, 53 Hereford St, from<br />
4.30pm next Monday, and from<br />
