TE KURA o Ōhinetahi 

Governors Bay School pupils 

are joining the call for more 

climate action through a new 

music video starring them. 

The music video showcases 

the Fix It Up song, which two of 

the school’s students wrote the 

PHOTO: NEWSLINE 

lyrics for after learning about 

climate change and the need to 

plan for, and adapt to, life in a 

changing climate, particularly 

in coastal areas that are likely to 

be affected by sea-level rise. 

The students’ learning programme, 

‘Climate Change: Prepare 

today, live well tomorrow’ 

was led by Sian Carvell from 

Future Curious Limited, with 

support from the city council. 

Sasha Harwood wrote the lyrics 

for Fix It Up, with help from 

classmate Kate Rayner. The pair, 

along with many of their classmates, 

star in the music video, 

playing their ukuleles. 

“We hope to inspire as many 

others as we can that we can 

fix it up. We can fix up climate 

change,” Sasha said. “We can 

have our voices heard.”

A COMMUNITY group 

has plans to save the historic 

Canterbury Yacht and Motor Boat 

Club building from the threat of 

demolition 

and find it a 

new home in 

Governors 

Bay. 

The Bays 

Boat House 

Group want 

to relocate the Louisa Eades 

club building 

to near the 

long jetty in Governors Bay. 

The club building has escaped 

demolition twice since 2019 and is 

currently sitting in a storage area 

on Lyttelton Port Company land. 

The group wants to restore and 

reopen the club building to the 

public in time for the building’s 

100th anniversary in 2023. 

Louisa Eades, a member of 

the Bays Boat House Group and 

secretary of the Governors Bay 

Jetty Restoration Trust, said the 

response from Lyttelton residents 

to saving the club building had 

been overwhelmingly positive.

Green light for skate park 

WORK ON a new skate park 

in Sumner should roll into gear 

next summer after plans for 

the wider village green were 

approved. 

The Waikura/Linwood- 

Central-Heathcote Community 

Board has signed off the Sumner 

Village Green landscape plan 

and the site name. 

Board chairwoman Alexandra 

Davids said 

the decision 

to approve the 

overall landscape 

plan 

means work 

can move forward 

on the 

Alexandra 

Davids 

development 

of the skate 

park. 

“A strong community is built 

on strong connections and the 

new skate park offers an inclusive 

space where ... young people can 

gather and become more confident 

while growing their skills,” 

she said. 

“The community has certainly 

demonstrated overwhelming 

support for the skate park and 

contributed to the design, so it’s 

wonderful to sign off on these 

landscape plans. 

“While funding is not available 

until 2025-26 for the greenspace, 

PUMPED: Work on the skate area is set to start this summer. 

we can build the much-needed 

skate park to meet the needs of 

our many local skateboarders.” 

The skate park will include a 

1.9m deep pool bowl with an upper 

1.2m deep mini bowl section, 

a 1m to 1.2m flow bowl with a 

corner extension, a turnaround 

quarter pipe and an “across and 

down” ledge. 

The plan also includes ramps 

into the pump bump area and 

the manual box, along with a 

high pump bump, a rail, a quarter 

pipe, a rollover finger and 

learner, bank and angled ledges. 

Seating, pool-style fencing and 

landscaping will mark the skate 

park area off Nayland St. 

Davids said the wider Sumner 

PHOTO: NEWSLINE 

Village Green area will be a space 

for the whole community to enjoy. 

Work on a detailed design for 

the skate park will start soon, 

with the final build subject to contractor 

availability and relevant 

consents. 

Fencing will be put in place to 

restrict access to the rear of the 

site.

Akaroa cinema 

reopens with 

new name 

• By Samantha Mythen 

AKAROA’S CINEMA is bringing 

award-winning documentary 

director William Watson to the 

town this weekend to share his 

new movie, Soldiers Without 

Guns. 

Watson is a friend of Mark Banber 

and his wife Brigid Rennell, 

who own Ethels Cinema. 

The film follows the true story 

of the New Zealand Army’s involvement 

in the 10-year civil war 

in Bougainville. As peacekeepers 

in 1997, they took guitars and 

culture into the war zone, instead 

of weapons. 

With new owners and a new 

name, Ethels Cinema re-opened 

over Easter weekend. 

The cinema under went a 

revamp, closed over summer for 

cleaning and resolving several 

technical issues with one of their 

cinemas. 

Banber and Rennell had chosen 

to rename the cinema as Ethels after 

Ethel Jacobson who was born 

in Lyttelton in 1877, and worked 

as editor of the Akaroa Mail for 

almost 50 years. 

There are two cinemas with 

capacity for 36 and 18 people, 

keeping the atmosphere boutique 

and cosy with plush comfortable 

seating.

Climate 

song ‘call 

to action’ 

• From page 1 

Sasha said that we can make 

a difference. “We would love to 

give others the idea to spread 

the message and write their own 

song. It would be amazing if we 

could have a whole album of climate 

change songs made.” 

Kate said she was excited to be 

sharing Fix It Up with the public. 

“I think that this song is a call 

to action and a reminder to everyone 

that there is hope – everyone 

has a voice and it’s never too late 

to make a difference,’’ Kate said. 

Sasha and Kate created the song 

after their Year 6 to 8 class was 

challenged to think about ways 

they could take climate action, 

make a difference and share their 

message with a wider audience. 

The students went in many 

directions: they set up walking 

school buses to try to reduce 

carbon emissions, movies were 

made, video games created and 

meetings with local MPs were 

arranged at Parliament while the 

class were on their Wellington 

school camp. 

Teacher Angie Rayner said 

it was an amazing learning 

experience for the pupils. 


$200,000 tag for project 


“Many Lyttelton people have 

happy memories of the building 

when it was used by the Sea 

Scouts,” Eades said. 

The Lyttelton Port Company 

has provided storage for the club 

building until the site is taken 

on by a new lease. This leaves the 

future of the building uncertain. 

Eades said the previous custodians 

gave the deed of the club 

building to the Bays Boat House 

Group “on the understanding that 

the building will go to Governors 

Bay”. 

The whole project is expected to 

cost about $200,000. “This figure 

is just an educated guess,” Eades 

said. “Once we have completed 

the first stage of the project we 

will have a much clearer idea of 

the cost.” 

The first stage includes completing 

a concept design, determining 

the options for transporting the 

building and repiling the site, and 

producing a costing report. 

“We are fortunate to have been 

gifted a grant from the R & N 

Wait Charitable Trust, proudly 

managed by Perpetual Guardian, 

to complete this important first 

stage,” Eades said. 

Repiling the proposed new 

location, resource and building 

consent and transport of the 

yacht club building are likely to 

be the main costs. 

ON THE HARD: The boat house in storage at Lyttelton. 

BELOW: The building’s interior. PHOTOS: LOUISA EADES 

Eades said the group anticipates 

the main source of project 

funding will be heritage grants. 

“Although the building is not currently 

on the heritage list, it holds 

many memories for the yachting 

and Sea Scouts communities.” 

Heritage NZ has written a letter 

to the Bays Boat House Group in 

support of their efforts.

Gina Waibl 

Said Waibl: “I also have 

appreciation for water gained 

from time spent kayaking and 

sailing on Lyttelton Harbour, 

as well as volunteering for the 

Department of Conservation on 

a number of islands including six 

months on Raoul Island in the 

Kermadecs.” 

Waibl has worked with the 

committee for four years, having

Phasing out of cheques concerns seniors 

• By Chris Barclay 

AGE CONCERN Canterbury is 

ramping up educational classes 

to help the elderly navigate a 

cheque-free society as banks 

phase out the payment method, 

amid criticism. 

The advocacy group for the 

city’s senior citizens has dealt 

with an influx of concerned 

callers once the 

Bank of New 

Zealand, ANZ, 

Westpac and 

ASB announced 

plans to abandon 

accepting 

cheques. 

Simon 

Templeton 

“There’s a 

lot of concern, 

we’d be getting 

people contacting us every single 

week concerned about ‘What 

am I going to do? What is my 

neighbour going to do?’” said 

Age Concern Canterbury chief 

executive Simon Templeton. 

“It’s a disappointing decision 

that does cut out a group of 

the population, generally older 

people. 

“We see it in our own membership, 

we have well over a 

thousand members and 80 per 

cent of them up to now have paid 

by cheque.” 

The city council is the latest 

local authority to announce they 

will no longer accept cheques – 

from April 30 – in response to 

the banking sector’s decision. 

“This one sits squarely with 

the banks, the city council has 

no option,” said Templeton, who 

urged affected customers to contact 

their banks for assistance. 

“What I’m suggesting people 

do is actually push back on their 

banks. 

“I’m suggesting they go: ‘Well 

you’ve seen my pattern of use 

over the last however many years 

and you know I use cheques, you 

know I post these things so you 

know I don’t have a computer. 

You let me know how you are 

going to fix my situation’. 

“They (banks) must know who 

they are, they shouldn’t wait for 

the call (from customers). They 

should reach out and come up 

with a solution.” 

Templeton acknowledged 

banks had put measures in place 

to mitigate the disruption and 

confusion, extensive information 

on alternative modes of payment 

were available online and staff 

were on call for assistance. 

Family members could also 

ease the transition for the older 

generation while Age Concern 

Canterbury is on the verge of 

partnering with Digital Inclusion 

Aotearoa Alliance, which 

instructs older New Zealanders 

about a range of digital services. 

Age Concern Canterbury 

provided DIAA courses through 

a third party last year but they 

are now dealing direct with the

“We’re looking to deliver it 

ourselves because it’s such a big 

need,” Templeton said. 

“We’re hoping to start running 

those classes quite soon.” 

DIAA covers 16 topics including 

digital safety and security,

which hopefully offer peace of 

mind. 

“With a cheque they had the 

time to wave it under someone’s 

nose and check they’d got it 

alright,” Templeton said. 

“People are concerned once 

they push the numbers into a 

computer and push go. They go: 

‘Gosh, did I get that right?’.” 

Templeton said the classes 

were free – technology was 

provided – and invited the 

elderly to phone 366-0903 to 

register. 

Meanwhile, the city council’s 

acting general manager resources 

Diane Brandish said payments 

could be made via internet 

banking, telephone banking, 

automatic payment, credit card 

or in person with cash. 

Rates could also be paid by 

monthly or quarterly direct debit 

with forms able to be arranged 

by phoning 941 8999 or 0800 800

up at the civic offices in Hereford 

St or at other council service 

centres. 

Kiwibank stopped accepting 

cheques in February last year 

with Inland Revenue and ACC 

doing the same in March. 

The ANZ will no longer accept 

cheques from May 31 followed 

by Westpac (June 25) and the

Bridge 

Pose 

Bridge pose is a wonderful counter-action to sitting. Bridge will strengthen 

your back, align your spine, relieve tightness from the front of your hips and 

calm your mind. Bridge is ideal for everyone but especially anyone who sits a 

lot, cyclists, rowers and hockey players. 

1. Start lying on your back. 

2. Rest the back of your head on the floor 

and draw your chin in towards your throat. 

Make your neck long and firm. 

3. Draw your feet towards your buttocks until 

your feet are flat to the floor and hip width 

distance apart. 

4. Stack your knees directly above your 

ankles. 

5. With an inhale, lift your hips up from the 

floor and rest on your feet and shoulders. 

6. Clasp your hands together beneath your 

body and walk your shoulder blades in 

towards one another. 

7. Press down into the floor through your feet 

and the full length of your arms. 

8. Engage your back muscles in towards your 

spine. Lift your chest up. 

9. Hold your knees just hip-width distance 

apart. 

10. Tone your abdominal muscles gently. 

Reach your tailbone towards your knees. 

11. Relax your eyes along the line of your nose 

and enjoy the broadening and lengthening 

of the front side of your torso and hips. 

12. Stay in the pose for 5 to 10 slow breaths 

through your nose. To come down, release 

your hands and gently lower from your 

upper back to your lower back. Reach your 

tail towards your heels as you do so. Lie flat 

and breathe deeply before rolling onto your 

side and slowly pressing yourself back up. 

Bridge pose will build strength in your back, restore natural curvature to your spine, improve your 

posture and elevate your energy levels. Make bridge pose part of your day.

Recipes flood in for 

Lyttelton cookbook 


MORE THAN 200 recipes 

have been submitted 

for the next edition of 

a cookbook celebrating 

the culinary creations of 

Lyttelton people. 

Harbour Kitchens, 

published its first edition 

in 2009, when a group of 

parents from Lyttelton 

Main and Lyttelton West 

primary schools decided 

to create a cookbook as a 

school fundraiser. 

They did a reprint in 

2010, and published a 

special earthquake edition 

in 2011. 

This fourth edition will 

be published in spring. 

This year’s editor Gaynor 

Stanley said they have 

received well over 150 

submissions. 

“The contributions 

coming in are marvellous. 

There is an amazing 

amount of talent in the 

community,” Stanley said. 

“They are heartfelt, 

funny, straight-forward, 

eclectic and fun. It really 

reflects the makeup of our 

engaged community.” 

They have received 

recipes from the school 

principal, Brendan Wright, 

as well as from esteemed 

local chef, Giulio Sturla. 

The group behind the 

book decided to do another 

edition after the Lyttelton 

Primary School’s biennial 

Peninsula Art Auction 

had to be cancelled due to 

Covid-19. 

Although, the auction 

will run again next year, 

revisiting the cookbook 

appealed as good idea.

Readers comment on the 

closure of the Redcliffs 

Four Square 

The closure of the Four Square 

was entirely predictable. 

Most working people usually 

shop on their way home from 

work (for obvious reasons) so 

Countdown Ferrymead and New 

World Woolston are far more 

convenient plus they have a better 

range and better prices than Redcliffs 

ever did under both brands. 

What is needed is a dairy/ 

small grocer. 

This would suit old people, 

those living alone, and small 

households who don’t require 

large quantities, so the prices 

become less important but the 

convenience of local becomes 

more important. 

However, the building is excellent 

and the under shop car park 

is a real plus in wet weather. 

The retail floor area is large 

enough that it could be sectioned 

off into a medium-sized area and 

a few small retail outlets/ restaurants 

or offices. 

There is a demand for small 

office space in the area for professional 

activities such as real 

estate, draughtsman, temporary 

meeting room and various sole 

traders needing affordable office 

space away from their homes. 

Access and parking is already 

in place, so with a bit of imagination 

this property could be 

brought back to being a real asset 

for the area. 

Hopefully, some market 

research will take place before 

any major changes take place. – 

Derek Robinson 

While it is sad that the supermarket 

in Redcliffs is closing it is 

understandable as shopping habits 

have changed over the years. 

I would like to know what is 

going into the building once the 

supermarket has left. 

I think it would be a good idea 

to merge all the health and welleing 

providers into one spot. 

For example the doctors, 

chemists, physio, optometrists, 

Plunket and podiatrist. –

The Avon-Heathcote 

Estuary Ihutai Trust 

is a non-profit 

organisation formed 

to protect one of 

New Zealand’s 

most important 

coastal wetlands. 

Each week, board 

members will discuss matters 

regarding the estuary, its rich history 

and what makes it unique. This 

week Tanya Jenkins writes about the 

McCormacks Bay Wetland Reserve 

restoration project 

IN 1990, the city council 

prepared a restoration plan for 

the neglected wetland area of 

McCormacks Bay. 

In 1992, the divided causeway 

ground was cleared, some 

planting was completed and 

three small island were created, 

providing safe roosting areas for 

birds. 

However, funding then ran 

out before completion of the 

project and the bay was left to 

the elements. 

The Estuary Trust realised 

the enormous potential for 

completing the project and 

with permission from the city 

council to do so, commenced 

on the lengthy process of raising 

funds required for a necessary 

ESTUARY MATTERS 

Birds flocking back to wetland 

IMPROVEMENT: McCormacks Bay Wetland 

Reserve in 2020, a thriving ecosystem for 

native birds and vegetation. 

archaeological report before we 

could begin. 

In 2013, the first few hundred 

native trees and wetland grasses 

were secured, and the community 

was called upon to assist the 

Estuary Trust volunteers with 

the large amount of work ahead. 

Members from the Mt Pleasant 

Residents Association, Ferrymead 

Rotary Club and several 

local residents have since come 

to the party. 

The work on the bay’s restoration 

included removal of gorse, 

blackberry and wilding pine 

trees, mulching to condition the 

soil, and removal of stones off 

the mudflats which were loosened 

during the 2011 earthquake 

events leaving the banks vulnerable 

to erosion. 

The results have seen an 

increasing number of kingfisher, 

white-faced Heron and pied 

stilt which are really liking the 

sedges planted in the mudflats 

providing a safer habitat to wade 

and feed in the bay. 

But we are not nearly finished. 

Supervised by city council park 

ranger Matt Rose, and since 

2016, led by locals Myles Richardson 

and Inez Grim, we meet 

every third Sunday at 2pm for 

two hours work. 

We would sure welcome an 

extra pair of hands No need 

to book, just turn up. You can 

easily spot the volunteers at work 

anywhere along McCormacks 

Bay Rd.

“OUR CROWDFUNDING 

campaign for the new Te Ahu 

Pātiki park certainly picked up 

momentum after it was featured 

in the Bay Harbour News,’’ Rod 

Donald Banks Peninsula Trust 

manager Suky Thompson said. 

“We’d like to thank those who 

have generously supported the 

purchase of 

Mt Herbert/Te 

Ahu Patiki and 

Mt Bradley to 

date and Bay 

Harbour News 

for its support. 

We are now 

just $170,000 

short of our 

total target, 

and are announcing two new 

competitions to encourage some 

fun ways to donate and get us to 

the finish line. 

“Our new Spot the Tops 

photography competition 

enables keen photographers to 

help the Trust build up a fantastic 

image library for the new park 

and win some great prizes in the 

process. 

“We’re looking for the most 

novel, quirky, varied and 

wonderful photographs of the 

awe-inspiring mountains that 

Te Ahu Pātiki park will protect 

– Mt Herbert and Mt Bradley 

taken from nearby or far away,” 

Thompson said. 

“The whole park is visible 

from most of Whakaraupō/ 

Lyttelton Harbour and the tops 

are surprisingly visible from 

many places in the city – keep an 

eye out for the round summit of 

Mt Herbert and the more rugged 

cliffs of formidable Mt Bradley 

poking up behind the Port Hills 

and grab a snap.” 

To enter Spot the Tops 

via Instagram follow @ 

roddonaldbptrust on Instagram 

then share your photo using the 

hash tag #SpotTeAhuPatiki and 

tag @roddonaldbptrust. 

Alternatively email your high 

resolution images to sue.church@ 

roddonaldtrust.co.nz and put 

SpotTeAhuPatiki photo in the 

subject line. 

Winners will be announced on 

May 31. 

“We’re also challenging local 

Tramping Clubs who use this 

area to see which club can raise 

the most,” Thompson said. 

“All you have to do is to let us 

know your club is participating 

by sending us your club name 

or acronym. Then circulate

donate and put the club name 

or acronym you have supplied 

to us in the comments field on 

their chosen donation platform. 

We’ll add up all the individual 

donations and tag them to your 

club total.” 

The club has contributed the 

most will be announced by the 

end of June and win nights for 

the club at Rod Donald Hut. 

“The idea started with 

Tramping clubs,” says Thompson, 

“but we’ve already been asked to 

extend this to other groups such 

as Scout clubs. That’s fine with us 

– just tell us your club name and 

we’ll add you to the list.” 

“Head to our website www. 

roddonaldtrust.co.nz to find out 

more, download the Spot the 

Tops competition terms, and 

to make your donations, which 

will qualify for a 33 per cent tax 

rebate”, Thompson said. 

“We’ve had some incredibly 

generous donations from 

ordinary people who really want 

to see this wonderful piece of 

land go into conservation and 

protect the public access, and we 

are humbled by their support. 

If you have questions about 

the project, then please see our

OUR PEOPLE – FRANKIE BAKKER 13 

Roller coaster ride to artistic dream 

Frankie Bakker of Little 

River has quit full-time 

work to be an artist. 

She talks to Samantha 

Mythen about her 

creative practice and 

her journey along the 

way 

Where were you born? 

I was born in Zimbabwe. 

My parents studied tropical 

agriculture and went to 

Zimbabwe to work. I was lucky 

enough to be born there. But I 

was about one when I moved 

to New Zealand. Diamond 

Harbour is where I spent my 

childhood. 

What was it like growing up 

in Diamond Harbour? 

Amazing. I always spent 

time outdoors. We had a big 

garden. The nature is probably 

the biggest thing, being able to 

walk up the hill and go for ocean 

swims in the middle of winter 

just because you feel like it. 

When did you find yourself 

living in Little River? 

About three years ago. A lot 

of stuff happened prior – I went 

travelling and got really ill and 

needed to be home with my 

family. The longer I’ve stayed 

here, it’s the community that 

makes me want to stay. There’s a 

little house the previous owners 

used to live in while they were 

building the main house and 

that’s my studio. It’s at the top 

of a little hill and has a balcony 

looking over the whole valley. I 

turn music on and paint. There’s 

no reception or Wi-Fi up there. 

What’s been your journey 

to where you are now, calling 

yourself an artist? 

After graduating from the 

Rudolf Steiner school, which 

got my creative juices flowing, I 

wasn’t sure what I wanted to do, 

so I decided to apply to one fine 

arts school (Elam in Auckland) 

and see if they would accept me. 

I got in, moved there and then 

completed my fine arts degree, 

which was a roller coaster. 

In art school, I focused a 

lot on being human and our 

obsession with hedonism and 

consumerism. After graduating I 

CREATIVE: Frankie Bakker working on her latest piece. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 

had a couple of group exhibitions 

in Auckland. I dealt with a lot of 

mental health stuff, which has 

made a big impact on my art. 

My focus turned to the female 

body and it was naked because 

it’s about self-acceptance, as in 

you don’t have to dress a certain 

way to be accepted in a certain 

way. From there, I put the bird 

head in, which is still very 

prominent in my work today. It 

represents freedom. 

There’s so many birds out 

there. They’re all beautiful, 

completely distinct. No one 

really judges them and they don’t 

judge each other. This idea has 

since structured my art work – 

self-acceptance and self-love. 

After uni I went to Japan to do 

an art residency. I really wanted 

to travel and I love Japan. It was 

picturesque in my head – like the 

ART AT LITTLE RIVER: The concept design for a mural 

Bakker will create at Little River School. 

sakura, the Japanese blossoms. It 

draws you in. 

That was an incredible time 

for self-development. I’d gone 

on this big trip all on my own 

and everything I did was 

creative. I had support from all 

these amazing people, we did 

exhibitions – it was incredible. I 

also did a mural at a zoo. 

Between then and last year, 

I kind of lost it a little bit. But 

the Pop-Up Penguin happened, 

and this was a huge highlight. It 

pretty much sparked the desire, 

“I want to do this.” 

I started doing the Little River 

School mural designs in that 

time too. 

So this year I have quit my fulltime 

job. I have a small cleaning 

job in Akaroa, which is totally 

delightful and I love it. It means 

I have spare time to paint. So far 

I’ve had an exhibition in New 

Brighton Library called Unwind, 

and then I had the Christchurch 

Art Show. 

What’s been your favourite 

project? 

Japan Zoo was huge. This was 

the first mural I had ever done. 

A couple of weeks before I was 

due to leave Japan, I asked, “Can 

I paint that wall down the road?” 

It was completely grey and I 

thought, “It needs colour!” 

I talked to my residency host 

and she explained there was 

quite a commitment to painting 

something like that. 

A year later I was invited back 

to paint the zoo’s wall. It was an 

incredible two-month project. 

Everything was gut feelings – I 

went with the first design I drew. 

The support was incredible. I 

had 100 children at the opening 

day who came and did some 

painting. It was a huge artistic 

highlight. 

Tell me about your Pop-Up 

Penguin, which raised $17,500 

for Cholmondeley’s Children’s 

Centre. 

I was talking to the Wairewa 

Community Trust about 

painting a school mural and 

then heard about the design 

competition for the penguin. 

The trust titled it ‘Gateway to 

the Peninsula’, which I thought 

was really cool. So I went with a 

gate. I wanted it to be gold and 

to look valuable as this place 

is so valuable. I wanted it to be 

rich because the whole Banks 

Peninsula is so rich in nature. 

There’s a lot of blue for the waters 

and skies. Then the plants, birds 

and insects that we can see 

everywhere here. 

What project are you working 

on now? 

I am creating a mural at Little 

River School. It started with my 

own design and the Wairewa 

Community Trust Committee 

loved it, so we started putting 

a proposal through. We then 

decided to make a whole new 

design with the children’s input. 

So I put together a teaching 

plan for the kids and we 

organised an open day with a 

working bee around the tennis 

courts to get people involved, to 

give it more significance as well. 

I had no idea the mural would 

have such involvement. I thought 

I would have done it by now and 

painted it within two weeks. But 

here we are, it’s going to be done 

in May and I’ve done something 

for it, every day.

Kids give inspiration 


What has it been like working 

with children? 

So beautiful! I started the class 

off by presenting myself as an 

artist. They were very excited to 

have me there. I rock up with this 

presentation. I show them the 

Japan mural and the penguin. 

And then I showed them a photo 

of the tennis court wall and 

asked, “What do you reckon?” It’s 

bland and has nothing and then I 

said: “I’m going to paint a mural 

on here and I need you guys to 

give me some great ideas so that it 

looks amazing.” 

This was the interesting point. 

They all sat in pairs with a piece 

of paper and started drawing 

with pencil and then furiously 

erasing what they had drawn. I 

said, “Guys, this isn’t a piece of art 

work. This is the sketch process, 

this is the thought process. It 

doesn’t have to be perfect.” But 

you could see things ticking in 

their head, like “This doesn’t look 

like I want it too, I’m not sure if 

it’s good.” 

So I ended up going around 

and asking them to tell me what 

they were drawing and I also 

asked them, “What does that bird 

eat, what does it do, what kind 

of fun things can you imagine it 

could do?” 

When I started going around 

on the second lap, kids started 

throwing out ideas of moons that 

were disco balls. It was cool to see 

them gain some confidence. 

Then at the end I asked them 

if they had any further ideas. We 

heard about trains flying through 

the sky with birds hanging out of 

the windows. 

After the class, I spent hours 

going through their designs and 

ideas and then drawing them 

myself to put together the design. 

You can see how art sparks 

those kids. When the teacher 

asked the kids what they had got 

out of the class, they all started to 

say how it inspired them and how 

great they feel and they love the 

creativity, and it calmed them, 

which is amazing. 

I have this little dream, by like 

40 years old, to be able to do art 

SPARKING CURIOSITY: Bakker at the opening day of the 

mural she painted at Yuki Park Zoo in Japan. Children 

show Bakker their own drawing creations. 

therapy. To go back and study 

and learn the psychology behind 

it and find more sparks. 

Where do you find 

inspiration? How does Banks 

Peninsula influence your work? 

The wildlife is huge. Even just 

driving through Little River, 

there will be pheasants and little 

quail on the road, and I will think 

those are beautiful and then I will 

get home and I will start looking 

at images, and then other ideas 

pop up from that. 

Also, my art reflects what is 

going through my head and what 

I’m working through. Like at 

the Art Show, some people said; 

“Well, you have a bit of a crazy 

mind coming up with this stuff.” 

And I thought, “I guess I do.” 

What does being an artist 

mean to you? 

I am learning what the steps 

are to get there. But for me it has 

always been a dream. Like when 

people ask what did you want 

to be when you were younger, I 

didn’t want to be a fireman or 

a doctor or anything like that, 

I always wanted to be an artist. 

What are you if you don’t follow 

your dreams? You are lost. 

In the meantime, I want to 

meet all these other amazing 

artists and people that are 

involved in art communities and 

I want to share my art. Like that 

Japan mural and the penguin – 

the joy they brought to people 

was incredible. So why would you 

not do that? 

Even the art exhibition last 

weekend. It was so interesting, 

how some people were like, what 

is going on with that art, and 

other people just loved it. 

In the end, I left thinking that 

was really successful. I had so 

many great conversations and 

met so many amazing people. 

The two ladies that were in my 

corner as well, like now I’m doing 

a collaboration hopefully with 

one of them. She does poetry and 

I’m going to do the images. It is 

opening doors. 

How does being creative 

enrich your life? 

I feel like more of a whole 

person when I’m getting creative. 

It gives me a purpose and a 

positive outlet. Being creative 

means I’m doing something with 

my thoughts. 

What advice would you give to 

those wanting to start their own 

art practice? 

You need to want it. That’s 

what it is. And then you give it a 

go. Start by factoring in an hour. 

People go to the gym for an hour 

so why can’t you take another 

hour of ‘me time’ where you 

decide you are going to create. It’s 

the same with writing. Say, “OK, 

three o’clock to four o’clock today 

I’m going to sit in the park and 

just write. I don’t care what I’m 

going to write, I’m just going to 

write something.” 

That’s the other huge thing – 

don’t be disappointed when it 

doesn’t look like what you want it 

to look like. Just do it, tell yourself 

you can do it, and make time too. 

IT’S DEFINITELY autumn now, 

with leaves falling and the night 

drawing in. 

Anzac Day is this weekend, 

and I am looking forward to attending 

commemorations across 

our communities starting with 

the dawn service in Heathcote 

before speaking at the Halswell 

commemoration and heading to 

Sumner for their service. 

These commemoration are 

recognitions of the sacrifices 

made by our defence forces here 

and overseas to protect our democratic 

system. 

They help us remember the 

sacrifices made by local residents, 

like George Ferguson of 

Halswell who enlisted in the 

Canterbury Mounted Horse and 

was killed in action on the 21st 

August 1915 in Gallipoli. 

Whole families were affected, 

like the Dromgooles of Lyttelton. 

Four of the six Dromgoole boys 

served in World War 2, serving 

in the Royal New Zealand Air 

Force, the army and the merchant 

navy. Three of them died 

on active service as a result of 

enemy action. 

This year I hope we all also 

remember the sacrifices our 

defence forces have made to 

support New Zealand’s Covid-19 

response and the managed isolation 

and quarantine systems. 

All the staff working in managed 

isolation and quarantine 

give up so much in order to keep 

Tracey McLellan 

Member of Parliament Banks Peninsula 

Time to remember 

sacrifices made 

during war, Covid 

us all safe. We’ve been incredibly 

well-served by our defence force 

contribution to the Covid-19 

response, and I am very grateful 

for their hard and brave work in 

difficult conditions. 

So this Anzac Day, let’s remember 

those who’ve served in 

the past and those who’re still 

serving today in a different kind 

of battle. 

And if you do see me about 

on Anzac Day, please say hello 

as it’s always lovely to make new 

connections. 

On a different note, you may 

have seen coverage in the Bay 

Harbour News of the proposed 

logging of the Moepuku Peninsula. 

I have received letters from 

community members and the 

residents associations of Church 

Bay, Diamond Harbour, and 

Charteris Bay. It is great to see 

the community being a strong 

watchdog for our harbour. 

Like them, I am deeply 

concerned about the potential 

environmental impact of 

sediment run-off from the 

proposed logging into the 

harbour. 

I have met with the chair 

of the Canterbury Regional 

Council, Jenny Hughey, to 

raise my concerns and seek 

assurances that the regional 

council will be taking an active 

approach here to avoid any 

environmental damage.

LEST WE FORGET 

ANZAC DAY 

SUNDAY APRIL 25, 2021 

Remembering our Anzacs 

“The darkness, calm and chill of the early morning; 

the sound of the single tap of the drum of the parade; 

the emotionless faces of the catafalque guard, and 

the mournful notes of Last Post sounded by a lone 

bugler, combine to give a feeling of deep solemnity. It 

is the intensity of the symbolism which contributes to 

its powerful impact upon participants; indeed what 

underlies its popularity. In a country with few public 

rituals, the Dawn Service continues to provide a sense of 

occasion as a meaningful ritual of remembrance.” 

rsa.org.nz 

Every year Anzac Day is observed on April 25 by 

communities throughout New Zealand and Australia to 

remember those who have served and those who lost 

their lives in war. The term ANZAC is the acronym for 

Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, and was first 

used in World War 1. These groups of soldiers back then 

were known as ‘the Anzacs’. 

Anzac commemorations may consist of one or more 

ceremonies – one at dawn (timed to coincide with the 

initial landings at Gallipoli by Australian troops who were 

the first ashore) and/or one later in the morning. The 

ceremonies are rich in tradition and generally begin with 

a parade of returned servicemen and military personnel 

followed by cadets, youth groups and local dignitaries. 

War veterans, proudly sporting their medals lead the

parade, which leads to a local cenotaph or memorial gate 

where the ceremony includes a service with hymns, laying 

of wreaths, dedications, prayers and the Last Post played 

on a bugle. Morning tea follows and allows people to share 

memories and catch up with friends and neighbours. 

Anzac Day was first observed by servicemen in 1916 to 

mark the anniversary of New Zealand and Australian 

soldiers landing on the Gallipoli Peninsula in 1915. It soon 

became a day where all New Zealanders and Australians 

took time to remember the men and women who 

perished in the Great War. In 1921, Anzac Day became an 

official holiday and by 1922 it was declared a full public 

holiday where shops, banks and hotels remained closed 

for the day. 

Symbol of remembrance 

The red (or Flanders) poppy is a symbol of remembrance 

and hope all over the world and, in some countries, is 

worn on Armistice Day, however in New Zealand the red 

poppy is commonly worn on Anzac Day. The first Poppy 

Day appeal was on April 24 in 1922, where funds from 

the sales of small and large silk poppies helped relieve 

suffering in war-ravaged northern France. A paper version 

of the poppy is now sold by the Royal New Zealand 

Returned Services Association on Poppy Day to raise 

awareness for Anzac Day and funds for returned soldiers 

and their families and local communities.

and support businesses in your community 

Talented team offers 

raft of legal services 

People living and working across the 

Bay Harbour areas on the city side of 

the Port Hills are fortunate to have the 

services of long-established law firm 

Saunders & Co., conveniently located in 

Ferrymead. 

A branch of the firm’s head office in 

Victoria Street, the Ferrymead office 

employs three lawyers and three support 

staff, a talented team providing an 

extensive range of legal services to meet 

their clients’ needs. 

The legal team comprises partner Nicola 

Coombes, associate Charlotte Grimshaw, 

lawyer Buvi Naash, and their friendly 

support team. 

Chatting to Bay Harbour News, 

Charlotte, who specialises in residential 

conveyancing, wills and estates, describes 

Saunders & Co Ferrymead as a “very 

approachable law office”. 

“Clients who come to see us appreciate 

the open feel of the office and our 

friendly, down-to-earth attitude. We are

Saunders & Co. 

Ferrymead 

approachable and accessible, but at the 

same time we are all very professional in 

how we deal with our clients.” 

Originally from Birmingham, England, 

Charlotte emigrated to New Zealand 

in her teens, graduating with a BSc and 

LLB(Hons) degree from Canterbury 

University before joining Saunders & Co. 

Ferrymead in 2014. Charlotte became an 

associate of the firm in 2019. She lives in 

Redcliffs and loves being part of the local 

community – both at home and at work. 

“I enjoy working with people living 

in the eastern suburbs and building 

longstanding relationships with the 

different businesses and people in the 

local area.” 

For people buying and selling property 

in the area, Charlotte says being able to 

call on the services of a local law firm with 

knowledge of earthquake-related damage 

and the complexities of hill properties is 

also very helpful. 

“It’s different from other areas of the 

city, so with us being able to provide that 

local expertise it’s good for clients.” 

The firm’s community focus also sees 

them running public sessions where local 

residents are provided with information 

on a range of legal matters and have the 

opportunity to ask questions. 

Offering a raft of skills and experience, 

Charlotte, Nicola and Buvi are committed 

to providing first-class legal services to 

their community, ensuring that Saunders 

& Co Ferrymead ‘keeps it local’ for those 

living and working in this diverse eastern 

sector of Christchurch.

Cult car also one of the best off-road 

THERE HAVE been plenty of 

cars over the years that have 

developed a cult following – some 

that are simply alluring through 

their design or shape. 

Suzuki’s Jimny is one of those 

cars, I’ve seen a lot on our roads 

and, judging by the tidy look 

of most of them, they’ve never 

utilised the functions that make it 

one of the best off-road vehicles 

in the market. 

The popular Jimny has been 

around for years and the technology 

underneath hasn’t changed, 

but it now has a new body shell, 

it is upright, square-edged and 

somewhat blunt. That may sound 

like a design disaster, but it’s not, 

the shape works well and, as I’ve 

alluded to, it is finding favour with 

a wide cross-section of the market. 

My son likens the new Jimny to 

a small Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon; 

and it is small, the Jimny is under 

3.5m and is extremely compact, it 

is short and narrow and has just 

three doors. It’s just a four-seater 

only, if you want to carry luggage 

you’d need to treat the Jimny as a 

two-seater because the rear seats 

would need to be folded forward 

to carry a suitcase or two. 

That aside, the mini-SUV 

Jimny has style and purpose, and 

its function is to take you places 

that normal sport utility vehicles 

wouldn’t be able to go. To make 

this possible it has a ladder chassis, 

driver-selectable four-wheel-drive 

with genuine low ratio gearing. A 

short wheelbase and high ground 

clearance (195mm) means it is 

the perfect off-roader if you are 

prepared to sacrifice a few luxuries 

that make the SUVs of today the 

vehicle of choice for many. 

However, if you add in the 

positives such as economy and 

off-road performance, it doesn’t 

surprise me that it has been 

capturing a wide cross-section of 

buyers since it was first marketed 

in 1968, the concept and mechanical 

design is pretty much 

unchanged. 

The Jimny is also a value-for-money 

model. It lists at 

$26,990 for a JX manual. The 

evaluation car was what Suzuki 

label Sierra, it gets a few extra 

goodies such as touch screen, 

satellite navigation and Apple Car 

Play and Android Auto connectivity. 

The Sierra sits at $29,990 

with automatic transmission 

adding $1000, two-tone paints 

also adds an extra $510. 

Other features across the range 

include central locking, single-zone

On the open road the Jimny

ripples are dealt to almost without 

notice, the spring and dampers do 

a respectable job given they are 

locating those live axles. 

On-road handling is characterised 

by a gentle push up front, 

there’s also a feel that oversteer 

could be initiated if the engine is 

asked to work hard in a corner, 

however, traction control arrests 

any likelihood of that. 

Tough, rugged, yet civilised 

are descriptions not often found 

all in one vehicle, yet the Jimny 

offers all of these ingredients and, 

for that reason, it is one rather 

remarkable vehicle. 

It also adds that element of 

surprise, its cheeky, funky looks 

hide a formidable off-road 

challenger. I hope those who do 

buy it for its trend-setting design 

will also get to experience its 

prowess. It would seem just a

Prostate cancer: Life beyond a diagnosis 

Dianne and Chris Ward of the Prostate Cancer 

Support Group in Selwyn. 

A DIAGNOSIS of prostate cancer 

can be devastating news for the men 

involved and their families. 

One in eight men will get prostate 

cancer in their lifetimes and more 

than 3500 men are diagnosed each 

year in New Zealand. When caught 

early, the chances increase for more 

positive outcomes, and there certainly 

is a life beyond a diagnosis. 

Survivorship and maintaining a 

good quality of life is the theme for 

this year’s Prostate Cancer Foundation’s 

National Conference being held 

in Christchurch on May 2. 

Said Paul Hayes of PCFNZ: “Our 

national conference is one of the ways 

we provide education and support 

to men with prostate cancer and the 

people who support them. We are 

holding the conference in Christchurch 

this year as a commitment 

to our South Island supporters, after 

having to cancel the event last year 

due to Covid-19.” 

There is great line-up of expert 

speakers at this conference covering 

issues from the latest news in 

diagnosis and treatment, to ways for 

men and their families can live better 

with the outcomes of treatments and 

ongoing medications. 

Another way PCFNZ helps men, 

and their families is through a network 

of 40 Support Groups across 

the country, with four of these groups 

now well established in Canterbury. 

Chris Ward and his wife Dianne 

run a support group in Lincoln on 

the fourth Wednesday of the month 

that is well attended with over 60 

people on their books. 

Said Chris: “I am really looking 

forward to the conference this year 

as it gives me a fantastic opportunity 

to learn more about the latest 

development in prostate cancer, so I 

can share this with our group.” 

•PCFNZ invites anyone 

with an interest in prostate 

cancer to attend. For more 

information and to register,
