SPREYDON WILL be blooming 

in sunflowers again this summer. 

The second annual sunflower 

competition is under way with 

about 14,000 seeds being distributed 

to 1245 residents. 

Said competition founder 

Ruth Vercoe: “The aim of the 

competition is that it is accessible 

to everyone. The seeds are 

given out for free and there is no 

entry fee which reduces barriers 

to participation. Gaining funding 

will support this aim.” 

About 20 volunteers have 

helped deliver the seeds into 

residents’ letterboxes.

A GROUP of parents are 

concerned a school has not 

followed the correct process 

during a proposal to change its 

zoning. 

Somerfield School intends to 

amend its enrolment scheme 

home zone to manage the 

increasing school roll and 

proposes a decrease in the zone’s 

size. 

But current and prospective 

parents are concerned the school 

did not follow the rules set out 

by the Ministry of Education, 

including a lack of consultation. 

Principal Denise Torrey said 

she was unable to comment until 

the school met with the community 

at the board of trustees 

meeting tonight. 

Parents have largely taken 

issue to proposed changes to the 

western boundary of the zone 

because some streets will be cut 

in half and some homes will 

miss out.

$40k for St Martins stream 

ALMOST $40,000 of Immediate 

Steps biodiversity funding has 

helped some hard-working 

locals protect water quality and 

biodiversity values along Albert 

Stream in St Martins. 

The funding, recommended by 

the Christchurch West Melton 

Water Zone Committee, helped 

the Port Hills Park Trust plant 

more than 3000 natives as part 

of this restoration and enhancement 

project. 

“The project aligns with the 

committee’s priority to reduce 

sediment runoff in the Port Hills 

and enhance in stream biodiversity 

values,” committee chair 

Kevin Brown said. 

Albert Stream is a tributary of 

the Ōpāwaho/Heathcote River 

that originates on the western 

slope of the Port Hills. 

“It’s important that we 

have ongoing protection and 

enhancement work throughout 

these upper catchment areas, as 

they all affect the rivers below,” 

Brown said. 

“By planting waterways in 

the higher catchment areas, the 

sediment is filtered early, which 

means it doesn’t end up in the 

Ōpāwaho/Heathcote River and 

smother the plant and life that 

lives in those lower waterways. 

The revolution 

in heat pumps 

is here now! 

“We’ve got a long way to go 

to address some of these challenges, 

but community-driven 

projects like this are a great step 

forward,” he added. 

Planting the natives was made 

even more difficult by earthquake 

damage causing uplift, 

new springs, and fissures 

The area was also overwhelmed 

by pest plants including 

gorse, broom, boneseed, and 

wilding pines.

some significant improvements 

in and around Albert Stream, 

including: 

• A reduction in sediment

Supporting women through hardship 


A SENSE of belonging and 

purpose has been the driving 

force behind the success of a 

women’s support group in the 

last two decades. 

The Women’s Social Support 

Group at the Woolston Development 

Project recently marked its 

20th anniversary of nurturing 

the lives of women across the 

city. 

The group provides social 

opportunities for women from 

a diverse range of backgrounds, 

including those facing unemployment, 

mothers of children 

with disabilities, or carers of sick 

family members for long periods 

of time. 

WDP manager and facilitator 

Bev Adams has been involved 

with the group since its inception 

and said its importance has 

been highlighted now more than 

ever due to Covid-19. 

“The founding members 

identified a concern that local 

women were becoming more 

isolated due to low income and 

increasing health issues,” she 

said. 

“We’ve seen a lot of changes 

over the years, but isolation is 

still an issue for women. Covid-19 

showed how isolated people 

actually were because they hadn’t

20th-anniversary this year. 

built those community connections 

over time.” 

The women’s group was 

established in 2000 and started 

with 10 members, but it has now 

grown to more than 35. 

Activities such as arts and 

craft, games and bus outings 

were on offer to enable women 

to build positive relationships, 

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 

develop practical leisure skills 

and increase awareness of other 

opportunities city-wide. 

Adams said the dynamic of 

the group shifted over time 

because members were able to 

confide in each other around 

issues such as domestic violence, 

rather than attending just for the 

activities. 

This was particularly apparent 

following the 2010 and 2011 

earthquakes. 

Said Adams: “Pre-earthquakes, 

women came there to enjoy the 

activities. When the earthquakes 

hit we were closed for six weeks, 

but they still depended on those 

connections they had made especially 

as many struggled with 

losing their houses. 

“The whole dynamic of the 

group since then has changed. 

People are much more caring 

and they never hesitate to check 

in on each other.” 

Many women readily accepted 

the care and responsibility of 

their families, whether it was 

young children, ageing parents 

or unwell partners. 

Adams said this was often 

to the detriment of their own 

health and well-being, therefore 

the group helped women take 

some time out for themselves, 

and develop lifelong friendships. 

It impacted their lives due 

to learning new skills such as 

gardening, cooking, making 

clothes or having a hobby, which 

lifted self-esteem and confidence.

“Some of these women 

have been working 24/7 to 

look after someone, managing 

finances or organising medical 

needs and never think about what 

they want or need,” she 

said. 

“They become overtired and 

depression is more apparent because 

they’re eating, sleeping and 

living for other people. 

“Coming to a group like this 

for two hours just provides 

some respite and is a lifting of 

the spirits. Having a laugh is 

incredibly therapeutic.”

‘It’s nice to make new friends’ 


MAKING FRIENDS in a new 

city can often be no easy feat, 

but for Gloria Brown, joining a 

successful women’s group was a 

decision that paid off. 

Brown is one of the last 

remaining founding members 

of the Women’s Social Support 

Group. 

The Woolston resident moved 

to Christchurch from Timaru 

in 1992 and joined the WDP 

after a spontaneous decision to 

give it a go. 

Said Brown: “I joined the 

group because I didn’t know 

many people when I moved 

up here, and I was looking for 

friends, a job and things to do. 

I found a leaflet in my letterbox 

about it and I ended up joining 

that day. 

“It’s great because there’s 

always new members coming 

through, so it’s nice to make 

new friends. Some members 

even come from the other side 

of town.” 

Many came and went over 

the years, but now only two 

founding members remained – 

Brown, along with Patsy Kerr. 

Joining in on the fun became 

a weekly ritual for Brown, who 

seldom misses a meeting. 

RITUAL: Gloria Brown was a founding member of the 

Women’s Social Support Group and has been part of 

the organisation ever since. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 

Along with arts and crafts, 

regular excursions to attractions 

such as the Christchurch 

Gondola, the Botanic Gardens 

or punting on the Avon River 

were activities she enjoyed the 

most. 

The companionship and lifelong 

friendships were why she 

remained at the group for the 

last two decades, especially the 

support she felt when she lost 

her home in the February 22, 

2011, earthquake. 

“It’s helped a lot of women, 

especially when they’ve been 

lonely. I don’t know where I 

would’ve been [otherwise].”

READS 

INSTORE! 

The Reacher Guy 

by heather Martin 

Lee Child is the thriller writer responsible for countless international bestsellers - as well 

as the iconic character of Jack Reacher. Yet despite being revered by millions of readers 

around the globe, little is actually known about the enigmatic man behind the novels. 

The Lee Child origin myth is a much-loved one: it sees the author springing, fully formed, 

from the brow of Granada Television. But this is the first time that anyone has revealed 

the Lee Child arc: from peaceful obscurity in the Yorkshire Dales to cult status as a literary 

rockstar, through to backlash, the changing zeitgeist and intimations of retirement. 

The Reacher Guy is an explosive and riveting biography of a much-loved and 

mythologised author. In it, Heather Martin looks closely at where Child really sprang from. 

Based on disarmingly frank personal conversations and years of correspondence with the 

author, as well as privileged access to archival materials, it the nearest thing the world is 

ever likely to get to the autobiography Lee Child does not intend to write. 

Maiden Voyages 

Women and the Golden Age of Transatlantic Travel 

by sian evans 

How the Golden Age of transatlantic travel between the wars transformed women’s 

lives across all classes - a vivid portrait of life on-board the iconic ocean liners. Before 

convenient air travel, transatlantic travel was the province of the great ocean liners 

and never more so than in the glory days of the interwar years. It was an extraordinary 

undertaking made by many women. Some travelled for leisure, some for work; others to 

find a new life, marriage, to reinvent themselves or find new opportunities. Their stories 

have remained largely untold - until now. Maiden Voyages is a fascinating portrait of 

these women, and their lives on board magnificent ocean liners as they sailed between 

the old and the new worlds. The ocean liner was a microcosm of contemporary society, 

divided by class: from the luxury of the upper deck, playground for the rich and famous, 

to the cramped conditions of steerage or third class travel. These iconic liners were filled 

with women of all ages, classes and backgrounds: celebrities and refugees, migrants 

and millionairesses, aristocrats and crew members. 

Sam Bloom: Heartache & Birdsong 

by Cameron Bloom samantha Bloom Bradley trevor 

Greive 

The follow-up to the ABIA award-winning, international bestselling sensation 

Penguin Bloom - the miraculous tale of a baby magpie that helped save a young 

mother and her family - is a homegrown and international bestseller; soon to 

be a major Hollywood movie, starring Naomi Watts and Andrew Lincoln. Sam’s 

personal message at the end of the book has resonated powerfully with readers 

- where, pulling no punches, she writes about what it is really like to face life in 

a wheelchair. In Sam Bloom, Sam tells her own story for the first time - how a 

shy but determined Australian girl became a nurse and travelled across Africa. 

How she fell in love with a like-minded free spirit, raised three boys and built 

a life together on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. And then, in a single horrific 

moment, how everything changed. Sam’s journey back from the edge of death 

and the depths of despair is so much more than an account of overcoming adversity. Sam’s captivating true story - written 

by close friend, New York Times bestselling author Bradley Trevor Greive, and featuring extraordinary photographs taken by 

Sam’s husband, Cameron Bloom - is humbling, heartbreaking and uplifting in equal measure. A triumph of raw emotion and 

incredible beauty, Sam Bloom: Heartache & Birdsong is a truly unforgettable book. 

Think Like a Monk 

The secret of how to harness the power of positivity and be happy 

by Jay shetty 

Jay Shetty, social media superstar and host of the #1 podcast ‘On Purpose’, distils the 

timeless wisdom he learned as a practising monk into practical steps anyone can take 

every day to live a less anxious, more meaningful life. 

In this inspiring, empowering book, Shetty draws on his time as a monk in the Vedic 

tradition to show us how we can clear the roadblocks to our potential and power. Drawing 

on ancient wisdom and his own rich experiences in the ashram, Think Like a Monk reveals 

how to overcome negative thoughts and habits, and access the calm and purpose that lie 

within all of us. The lessons monks learn are profound but often abstract. Shetty transforms 

them into advice and exercises we can all apply to reduce stress, improve focus, improve 

relationships, identify our hidden abilities, increase self-discipline and give the gifts we find 

in ourselves to the world. Shetty proves that everyone can – and should – think like a monk. 

The Secret Life of the Savoy 

and the D’Oyly Carte family 

by olivia Williams 

The story of the Savoy’s founders, through three generations and a hundred years of luxury 

In 1889, Victorian impresario Richard D’Oyly Carte opened The Savoy, Britain’s first luxury 

hotel. Allowing the rich to live like royalty, it attracted glamour, scandal and a cast of 

eccentric characters, with the D’Oyly Carte family elevated to a unique vantage point on high 

society. 

The Secret Life of the Savoy tells their story through three generations: Richard (a showman 

who made his fortune from the Gilbert and Sullivan operas), Rupert (who expanded the 

D’Oyly Carte empire through two world wars and the roaring twenties), and Bridget (the 

reluctant heiress and last of the family line). 

In this, the first biography of the family, Olivia Williams revives their extroardinary cultural 

legacy, told through the prism of their iconic hotel and its many distinguished guests.

Book sale is back 

CHRISTCHURCH City 

Libraries’ annual Big Bargain 

Book Sale is back on tomorrow 

and Saturday following two 

COVID-19-enforced delays. 

The Big Bargain Book Sale will 

be held at Pioneer Stadium from 

9am-7pm tomorrow and Saturday 

from 9am-4pm. 

The sale was initially set for 

March and then postponed until 

August because of the pandemicrelated 

restrictions. 

City council head of libraries 

and information Carolyn Robertson 

said the popular book sale 

is “well overdue but now there 

are even more bargains on offer”. 

“We will stack up thousands of 

withdrawn library books, magazines 

and DVDs for the public to 

take home and enjoy,” Robertson 

said. 

“We have found that more 

people have returned to reading, 

with books filling an often empty 

space during lockdown. 

“People are also always looking 

for a bargain, along with a great 

read. At the Big Bargain Book 

Sale, we can offer both.” 

Sale prices start at $1 for books 

for young adults and children, 

rising to $3 for adults’ books and 

DVDs, CDs and talking books. A 

range of motor manuals will also 

be available. 

A selection of premium art, 

landscape and gardening books 

will cost slightly more. 

People can also pick up five 

magazines for just $1. 

Call for consultation 

period to be extended 

• From page 1 

Streets affected will be Conway 

St, Stanbury Ave, Roberta 

Drive and Rose St. 

A Somerfield prospective 

parent who did not want to 

be named for fear of backlash, 

objected to most aspects of 

the proposal and wanted the 

school’s board to extend the 

public consultation period until 

at least February next year. 

Consultation on the matter 

closed on September 25. 

“The community affected has 

not been adequately consulted 

on a number of levels; there were 

no mail drops to affected households,” 

he said. 

“Only parents of current 

students were likely to stumble 

upon it in a school newsletter, 

or through talking with other 

parents.” 

Along with a lack of consultation, 

the parent took issue to the 

proposed zone as some streets 

did not specify which house 

numbers would be affected. 

A lack of supporting data 

behind decisions to reduce the 

zone, longer travel distances for 

some students and the overlapping 

of other zones were also 

why they reject the current 

proposal. 

FACILITIES: Parents 

are asking why more 

classrooms couldn’t have 

been added to Somerfield 

School. 

The Somerfield parent said 

it was “incongruous” that the 

school was unable to cope with 

a few more students, yet heavily 

invested in a recent revamp of 

school facilities. 

“Somerfield School can find 

funding for 10-plus flash, new 

classrooms – it has an amazing 

custom designed playground 

area and bike park – yet it is 

unable to accommodate all the 

families in our community,” he 

said. 

“A bike park is great, but how 

many new classrooms could 

have been put there instead?”

Connecting business with community 

• By Avneesh Vincent 

CHRISTCHURCH’S first 

Learning Exchange platform was 

launched last week by Sumner 

Bays Union Trust. 

The online project will help 

connect businesses with the 

community. 

“It’s a web-based platform 

which will also give the small 

businesses an opportunity to 

give workshops and promote 

their products and services 

through our platform,” said 

Learning Exchange co-ordinator 

Eve Wingerath. 

She said it would help people 

could reach out and learn different 

skills from other people in 

the community. 

The platform was supposed to 

be released this January but got 

delayed due to Covid-19. Since 

the lockdown, a lot of small 

businesses had suffered both financially 

and emotionally. It also 

would help people to come out of 

their isolation and feel involved 

in a learning process. 

About 50 people have volunteered 

to teach their skills 

through workshops and more 

than 100 people have shown 

interest to participate. 

The current workshops would 

include lessons on sewing, composting, 

plant-powered kitchens, 

and so forth. 

Wingerath said these courses 

would take place in different locations, 

based on the organiser’s 

preference, and would be limited 

to 12 people. The restrictions 

around attendance were due to 

the concerns of the venue capacity 

and Covid-19 limitations. 

The trust had worked with 

Bridge2Rocks Timebank so that 

people could pay with time. 

“You will get one credit per 

hour of teaching and you could 

use that credit to pay for some 

other course you want to learn. 

It’s a commerce of time,” said 

Wingerath. 

About $12000 was invested 

in the process of launching this 

SKILLS: Eddie Hayes and 

Eve Wingerath are working 

to make the Learning 

Exchange web-based 

platform a success. 

platform which included costs of 

creation of a website, acquiring 

teaching resources, databases, 

and so forth. 

She said the Learning Exchange 

at present covered the 

communities of Sumner, Redcliffs, 

Heathcote, Mt Pleasant, 

and Woolston. 

“Other communities could 

also approach and share what 

they want to do with their ideas, 

however that is something for 

later,” Wingerath said.

Feedback wanted on facilities 

GROUPS KEEN to make use 

of the city’s new pools and 

recreation facilities are being 

invited to register their interest. 

The city council is encouraging 

groups to have their say at 

information sessions this month 

regarding the future use of the 

new Metro Sports Facility, Te 

Pou Toetoe: Linwood Pool, and 

the Hornby Centre. 

“We’ve had great feedback 

from people about the designs of 

our new facilities, and want to 

continue to see a diverse range of 

activities happening across our 

network of recreation and sport 

centres,” said city council head 

of recreation, sports and events 

Nigel Cox. 

“Getting an early indication 

of requirements means we can 

work together on the allocation of 

space and prepare well in advance 

of the new facilities opening. This 

is all about getting more people 

more active more often.” 

Te Pou Toetoe: Linwood 

Pool will be the first of the 

new facilities to open. The 

$22m facility is being built in 

Linwood Park on the corner of 

Linwood Ave and Smith St and is 

scheduled to open late next year. 

It will have a multi-use 

25m lane pool, a deep-water 

splash pool, a family spa pool, 

learn-to-swim pool, and a pool 

for toddlers and water deck. 

Community meeting rooms and 

a kitchen will also be available. 

The Metro Sports Facility will 

be the next to open, in 2022. It 

is being built on the corner of 

Moorhouse Ave and Antigua 

St. 

It will have a 10-lane 50m 

competition pool with spectator 

seating, a diving pool, leisure 

pools, five hydro slides, 

nine multipurpose indoor 

courts, group fitness rooms, a 

performance movement centre, 

an aquatic sensory space, and a 

high-performance sports centre 

with facilities for coaching and 

training. 

The third facility – the new 

community and recreational 

centre in Hornby – is scheduled 

to open in late 2022. It will have 

a lane pool, a learn-to-swim pool 

and multipurpose rooms, as 

well as a library and a customer 

service centre. 

“We are running two drop-in 

information sessions later this 

month where groups interested 

in using these facilities can 

learn more about what they will 

offer. If people would prefer to 

meet with us individually to 

discuss their needs we are also 

HAVE YOUR

happy to do that,” Cox said. 

The drop-in information 

sessions will be held in the Level 

1 Function Room of the Civic 

Offices, 53 Hereford St, from 

4.30pm next Monday, and from 

4.30pm on October 28. 

Groups who would prefer 

to meet individually with a 

member of our team can email
