Big Anzac Day turnout 

Train speeds 

to remain 

at 40km/h 

through 

Heathcote 

• By Samantha Mythen 

We shall remember them. These words echoed across the region area as hundreds of people joined in on Anzac Day 

commemoration services on Sunday. They came together to remember those who gave their lives in service to New 

Zealand and to also reflect on the brave work of those who still serve today. The well-attended service in Lyttelton 

(above) featured a parade of bagpipe players marching along London St. More than 800 people attended the dawn 

service in Heathcote Valley. About 500 people then paraded to the Valley Inn Tavern where keen cooks had been 

up since 4.30am preparing breakfast. Members of the Sumner Lifeboat and surf life saving clubs took part in the 

services in Sumner. After Covid-19 meant last year’s services usual gatherings could not take place, the large 

turnouts this year showed the power of community spirit. 

HEATHCOTE residents have 

successfully campaigned for train 

speed limits through their valley 

to remain the same. 

A KiwiRail spokesperson told 

Bay Harbour News the company 

would be keeping the speed limit 

for trains travelling through 

Heathcote at 40km/h. 

Said Heathcote Valley Community 

Association chairman 

Lewis Low: “This was the correct 

decision and the right thing to do. 

Everyone is really happy about this 

decision.” 

It was decided after KiwiRail 

representatives Steve Pye and John 

Gousmett met with the community 

on March 15 to discuss a 

proposed change of increasing the 

speeds to 50km/h. 

More than 60 people turned up 

the meeting to share their 

perspective on the issue. 

Gousmett explained to the 

group the increased speed would 

actually reduce the amount of 

noise as trains would no longer 

have to increase power as they 

approached Lyttelton tunnel.

Storm hits Sumner businesses 


A PIZZERIA and a florist were 

flooded after Saturday’s heavy 

rain saw an overflow of water on 

the streets of Sumner. 

Fire & Slice manager Pal Singh 

said as the water rose on the 

streets outside the pizzeria on 

Wakefield Ave, it also flowed 

over the curb 

and in through 

the front door. 

The water 

covered the 

entire floor of 

the building, 

Pal Singh 

including the 

dining area, 

kitchen, pantry and stock chiller, 

flowing all the way to the back 

door. 

It took seven hours to clean 

up the water and sanitise the 

restaurant once the flooding had 

stopped. 

Singh said the flooding was 

disappointing as just two weeks 

prior the road works through 

Sumner Village had been completed. 

Said Singh: “The building 

had flooded in 2019 and after 

the roadworks had finished we 

thought this problem should be 

fixed.” 

A previous business in the 

building – Stoked – had also 

seen previous incidents of 

flooding. The owner had raised 

these concerns with the city 

council when the new street 

design came out but their 

concerns were not addressed. 

The floor of Harakeke florist 

and giftshop on Marriner St was 

also flooded. 

The Sumner Volunteer Fire 

Brigade was called out at 9pm 

to the village to provide help to 

those affected by the flooding. 

Deputy Chief Fire Officer, 

Darren Wright, said city council 

contractors also worked alongside 

the fire brigade, digging 

out a third stormwater pipe at 

the beach, which relieved the 

flooding. 

Wright explained when 

flooding occurred it is important 

vehicles drive slower through 

the water to prevent waves 

which cause further damage to 

buildings. 

FLOODED: Water inside Fire & Slice’s kitchen, a pizzeria 

in Sumner after torrential rain flooded the streets on 

Saturday. 

In Brief 

Fatality avoided 

on Scarborough Hill 

Airbags prevented what 

could have been a fatal 

injury after a car crashed 

into a power pole on 

Scarborough Hill on 

Saturday morning. The 

power pole was knocked 

across the road. Orion came 

and fixed the pole later that 

morning. 

The Sumner Volunteer Fire 

Brigade was called out to 

attend the scene at 12.15am. 

Vibrations of trains 

concerning 

•From page 1 

He also said the trains were 

currently burning more diesel 

and this was counter-productive 

to KiwiRail’s commitment to be 

carbon neutral by 2050. 

However, residents explained 

their main concerns were about 

the vibration caused by the trains, 

not the speed. The faster a train 

goes, the higher the vibrations. 

Said Low: “This shows what 

a community can achieve when 

they work together.”

Educating teen parents both a reward 

• By Bea Gooding 

NO MATTER what life throws 

at the teenage mothers of 

Kimihia Parents’ College, they 

know their little family’s future 

is in safe hands. 

That’s where Diane Atkins 

and her team come in, to ensure 

young mothers can see the light 

at the end of the tunnel while 

juggling the responsibility of 

pregnancy, raising a baby and 

finishing secondary school. 

The head teacher embraces the 

challenge because, at the end of 

the day, there was always a positive 

outcome – something she 

made sure to emphasise within 

the classroom. 

“I’m juggling a lot of balls, but 

as long as I catch those balls, 

I’m okay. What I’ve learned is 

that there’s always a positive 

outcome,” said Atkins. 

Working with the girls from 

when they came in, to the end, 

was a “big long journey.” Many 

were kicked out of school or had 

to leave because they no longer 

related to their peers. 

“They’ve been bullied at 

school, so a lot of them come in 

suspicious of another school, but 

once they settle in, they make 

lifelong friends and lifelong steps 

to success.” 

Atkins teaches business applications, 

digital technology and 

runs the parents’ school, having 

done so for the past six years. 

Until she went to Canterbury 

University to study teaching and 

computing, the thought of teaching 

never crossed her mind. 

She did not have to move very 

far from her old job to the role at 

Kimihia, where she previously 

taught at Linwood College for 16 

years. 

Kimihia is hosted by Linwood 

College but operates from a different 

site, as all teen parent units 

across the country are hosted by 

a high school. 

It is a chance for 14 to 19-yearolds 

who are parents, or about 

to have a child, to finish NCEA 

level 1, 2 and 3 and develop the 

best possible pathway for them, 

and their children’s future. 

Students could also bring their 

babies to school as there was a 

childcare unit next door.

Strong empathy for the mothers 

and having the means to help 

them was the key behind the 

switch from mainstream classes 

to a more specialised school, 

designed for up to 30 students at 

a time. 

Not only did she have the skill 

of teaching under her belt from 

Linwood, being a mother of two 

sons herself brought invaluable 

experience to the position. 

“I saw it as a change, a different 

direction for myself and a challenge,” 

said Atkins. 

“I didn’t know what it would 

be like because I loved what I 

was doing at Linwood.” 

Each day was a reward in itself 

because Atkins was able to witness 

the progress of both mother 

and child every year. 

By the time they left school, 

her aim was for everyone to 

have confidence in themselves 

to move further in life, whether 

it was to go to university, getting 

a job or even having more 

children. 

“The best time is at the celebrations 

because we have the 

whānau in; we see [the girls] at 

their best,” she said. 

“They’ve achieved level 1, 2 

and 3, had their babies and are 

doing well, and they’re going 

off to a future that’s better than 

where they were when they came 

in – that’s where my passion 

lies.” 

Having smaller class sizes 

meant teachers could have a 

better understanding of each student 

and the troubles they faced 

outside the classroom. 

At Linwood, there were 

usually 25 to 30 students per 

class, which made it difficult to 

see what was happening behind 

the scenes. 

Christine Maynard’s roots are in the deep South, gateway to 

Fiordland, the dramatic beauty undoubtedly having an influence on 

her. Self taught, she has taken her creativity to painting semi abstract 

landscapes. Layering paint and working into the paint with various 

tools allows suggestion of strata, erosion, flora and fauna. 

Maynard says of her work “The paintings aim to reveal the essential 

nature – or soul – of the landscape. There are many hidden layers 

beneath the surface. These are depicted by multiple layers of texture 

and colour, often revealed by scraping back the top surfaces. 

Each painting shows that the landscape is inherently transient. There 

may be solid rock in one area of the painting transformed to shifting 

sand in another area. Or there may be a snow-capped mountain in 

one area transformed to a flowing river in the other. 

The paintings show this evolution in a “deconstructed” way. All 

the elements of the landscape exist together in a “patchwork” of 

mountain, glacier, river, field and sky. The paintings are another way 

of seeing the natural environment, but with a familiarity that appeals 

to our emotions . . . hidden essence . . . “ 

Hidden Essence is Maynard’s second solo show at Little River Gallery, 

her first was very successful and served to propel her well into the art 

world, her paintings have come to rest in art collections throughout 

New Zealand and beyond.

Review is underway 

We’re proposing some tweaks to the city’s ward

form a community board. 

We need your feedback: 

How well does this represent your local

and a challenge 

Said Atkins: “When you’re a 

teacher you don’t get time to do 

that; I didn’t get a behind-thescenes 

look. You don’t know 

about their family life, about 

the problems they’re having. 

Whereas at Kimihia, they each 

have an individual programme. 

With these girls, the whole picture 

comes through.” 

Although Kimihia only took on 

young mothers, as they were often 

primary caregivers, the door 

never closed on teen dads. 

“If there was a father who 

was the main caregiver, then he 

would be allowed to come. It’s 

just that they’re not there – mums 

are the ones who come in when 

they’re pregnant.” 

Atkins commended the fact 

that the students were still coming 

to school in spite of the challenges 

before them. 

The young mothers still did 

their best, even when they turned 

up exhausted each day following 

a sleepless night, due to either 

their pregnancies or tending to 

crying babies. 

A common barrier behind teen 

parents missing school was if 

they or their child got sick, or if 

they needed to attend appointments. 

It was why Kimihia introduced 

a van service that took students 

to and from school, and to any 

appointments throughout the 

day. 

It enabled them to miss part 

of the day, rather than the whole 

day altogether. 

A counsellor and a nurse 

on-site meant they could seek 

guidance on issues with housing, 

money or family. Some were 

on the journey alone without a 

partner. 

Every girl had a story. 

“Supporting them through that 

is important because they know 

when they get to the top of that 

ladder, their child will get there 

too,” said Atkins. 

“At the end of the day, these 

girls get off the couch and come 

to school.” 

Atkins was born and raised in 

Christchurch. She loves to walk 

her golden retriever, Honey, who 

provides an extra layer of comfort 

at school. 

She only had one piece 

of advice for teen parents 

considering a path towards 

education. 

“Get off the couch and do what 

you need to do to create a better 

life for your child,” she said. 

“It’s important for them to see 

that whatever they gain, their 

child will gain.” 

Pupils bring port 

narratives to life 


OUR STORIES, a community 

project involving pupils from 

Lyttelton Primary School, has 

joined with a mapping app 

bringing people’s narratives to 

life. 

The project is now available 

as a layer on the city council’s 

SmartView website app, which 

displays real time information 

about Christchurch. 

Year 7 and 8 pupils in Lyttelton 

have been interviewing people 

about their experiences and memories 

of growing up in the port. 

These stories are then curated 

by project director Kris Herbert, 

and shared on the Our Stories 

app, linking the tales to specific 

areas in the community. 

Herbert started the project in 

2018 and at the beginning of this 

year, approached the school to 

ask if they would be interested in 

helping. 

Teacher Rachel Cummins said 

the project sat well within their 

curriculum which focuses on 

“our place.” 

When Herbert has an interview 

subject, she emails Cummins, 

who then picks out the 

interviewing pupils from a hat. 

Those chosen then go through 

the questions they will ask and 

plan out their interview. 

Said Cummins: “They always 

come back after the interview 

buzzing with stories.” 

Cummins explained the pupils 

are always fascinated by the 

stories they hear. 

One particular story that stood 

out was told by a man from 

Rapaki. 

He informed the pupils about 

the rivalry between Lyttelton 

West and Lyttelton Primary. 

When he was growing up, brawls 

were often organised. 

This pre-meditated violence 

shocked the pupils. 

Cummins said the pupils involvement 

with the project helps 

them to connect to the Lyttelton 

community. 

Herbert explained the collaboration 

with Smartview is 

helping to expand the reach of 

the project. 

“As Our Stories project expands, 

we hope to fill the whole city with 

beautiful memories of places.” 

Our Stories is currently 

seeking funding to expand 

into more communities. Other 

schools are welcome to contact 

Herbert to find out more 

information on how they can get 

involved with the project.

KINDNESS: Webb spends hours creating unique murals in the sand; his 

purpose - just to make people smile. 

ANZAC DAY: Webb created this mural on Sunday to commemorate service 

people. 

Sand mandalas at Sumner celebrate life 


SUMNER BEACH is being used 

as a unique canvas. 

Artist Wayne Webb has been 

creating sand mandalas on the 

beach, which has been attracting 

a lot of interest. 

On Anzac Day, people walking 

along the promenade could 

see a sand memorial for service 

people. 

Webb has made Sumner his 

canvas before. 

He has created sand sunflowers 

and has shared inspiring 

quotes, such as “Love life, you 

only get 1,” and “Aspire to inspire 

everyone.” 

Webb’s why behind his artwork 

is simple. 

“It makes people smile,” he 

said. “It costs nothing to be 

kind.” 

Making the artwork also helps 

him to unwind and feel relaxed. 

“I feel freedom and I can be 

spontaneous. I get to go down 

to the beach and just see what 

happens.” 

Webb started the sand 

creations about a year ago 

after he had noticed another 

man creating sand art in New 

Brighton. 

As a long time supporter of 

mental health organisation Hey 

Bro - The Kiwi Brotherhood, 

Webb approached the man and 

asked if he would create a sand 

mural for the group. 

Webb said the man gave him 

the confidence to try sand art out 

himself, seeing it was possible 

through helping out with the 

Hey Bro mural. 

He has now lost count of how 

many sand murals he has made. 

Webb often works at Sumner, 

but he has also created art at 

New Brighton, Taylors Mistake, 

Akaroa and Okains Bay. 

His favourite art work is in 

MEMORIAL ART: 

Webb’s favourite 

creation he’s 

made so far - a 

memorial in 

Okains Bay. 

Okains Bay. It was a memorial 

art work and featured a love 

heart and a large eagle soaring 

across the shore. He was approached 

to do the art work by a 

woman whose father had died. 

Said Webb: “The ocean always 

takes the art work back, it’s like a 

cleansing.” 

LOVE LIFE: Webb share’s 

snippets of wisdom 

through his creative sand 

work. 

Webb is currently working 

towards a career in mental 

health. 

“The guys at Hey Bro helped 

me save my life. I was depressed 

and suicidal,” he said. “Suicide 

prevention is what I’m chasing.” 

Although the sand art takes 

several hours to create, Webb 

said if it makes just one person 

smile, the effort is worth that 

alone.

With the vaccine, 

it’s all possible 

Our immunity against COVID-19 is incredibly important. 

Because it brings more possibilities for us all. 

Possibilities like keeping our way 

of life intact; our kids being able 

to learn without worrying about 

interruptions; or being able to 

plan gatherings with whānau, 

or team trips away, without fear 

of them getting cancelled. 

Immunity can bring us all this, 

as well as more certainty in our 

jobs, and more confidence in our 

businesses. With the strength of an 

immune system made up of all of 

us, together we can, and will, create 

more freedom, more options, and 

more possibilities for everyone. 

The COVID-19 vaccine is a 

triumph of modern science 

Creating the COVID-19 vaccines 

took a global effort. The world 

united to take on the challenge, 

with medical professionals and 

scientists from across the planet 

working thousands of hours to 

bring it to us quickly and safely. 

Our Pfizer vaccine works by teaching 

your immune system to fight off the 

virus. Once you’ve had both doses 

of the vaccine it has been shown to 

be up to 95% effective at stopping 

you from catching COVID-19. It also 

greatly reduces symptoms if you 

do catch COVID-19 – making it far 

less likely that you’ll fall seriously ill, 

or pass it on to others. 

Along with our existing actions like 

scanning QR codes with Bluetooth 

turned ‘on’, and staying home when 

you’re sick, getting the vaccine is 

the best way to protect Aotearoa 

against COVID-19. 

Find out which vaccination group 

you’re in, and what you need to 

know, at Covid19.govt.nz/myvaccine 

The stronger our immunity, 

the greater our possibilities.

FUNDRAISER: Members of the Sumner Volunteer Fire 

Brigade enjoy a coffee on Anzac. (From left) – Mark Dooley, 

Kevin Rowlands, Craig Henderson and Sean Yeates. 

Fundraiser nets $573 


JOE’S GARAGE has raised $573 

for the Sumner Volunteer Fire 

Brigade on Anzac Day. 

They donated $2 from every 

coffee sold. 

The cafe in Sumner have been 

running this fundraiser for the 

past four years. 

They usually pick a random 

day during the year to hold the 

fundraiser but they decided on 

ANZAC day this year as it was 

fitting with people in service. 

Callum Brownlee has owned 

and operated Joe’s Garage for 

five years. He said the low-key 

fundraiser was inspired by the 

volunteer fire brigade’s service to 

the community. 

“The fire brigade are not just 

our customers but they look after 

our community,” Brownlee said. 

“This is our no thrills way to 

say thanks.” 

Previously, they have only 

donated $1 from each coffee sold, 

but Brownlee said, with the increase 

in coffee prices along with 

everything else, they hoped the 

$2 donated would have a greater 

impact. 

As well as the coffee donations, 

they also replaced their tip jar 

with a donation jar. 

In 2020, they raised $437 for 

the brigade. 

“This year the fundraiser 

is doubly important as the 

volunteer fire brigade are in a 

temporary station and although, 

most of the new build is covered 

by Fire and Emergency New 

Zealand, there are a lot of extras 

which are unfunded.” 

Big turnout for fun run 


MORE THAN $5300 was raised 

on Saturday during the Artists 

against Slavery fun run event in 

Diamond Harbour. 

A total of 341km was walked 

and ran by more than 60 participants 

aged from two to 76 years 

old. 

Members of the Diamond 

Harbour Volunteer Fire Brigade 

ran laps in full firefighting gear. 

Two members ran 18 laps under 

the heat of the noon sun. 

The money will be donated 

to Hagar International, which 

helps rescue and rehabilitate 

trafficked people in Afghanistan, 

Cambodia and Vietnam. 

ESTUARY MATTERS 

Bid to turn Mugford Drain 

waste area into habitat 

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 Mugford Drain’s industrial legacy 

LEGACY: The Mugford Drain in Bexley, which is currently a 

focus for the Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust as part of 

its restoration projects. 

IF YOU are driving along Anzac 

Drive between the Bridge St 

roundabout and Pages Rd, you 

may notice some work being 

done on the city side of the road 

and in front of the new Bexley 

dog park. 

A small drain parallel to the 

main road is called Mugford 

Drain. Trevor and Shirley Mugford 

lived there for many years 

after Shirley’s parents ran a dairy 

farm running between Bexley Rd 

(now Anzac Drive) and Breezes 

Rd. 

When most of the 40ha farm 

was taken in 1964 for landfill, 

the family was able to retain a 

piece of land near Bexley Rd for 

housing. 

When European settlers first 

came to this part of Christchurch 

they described it in 1856 as being 

mostly swamp, with flax, toe toe 

grass and rushes. 

Eels, whitebait, frogs and more 

than 100 species of birds were 

noted. 

The soil and water in this area 

are quite salty and ideal for recreating 

this coastal marshland. 

In preparing the area for planting 

in 2019, estuary trust volunteers 

supervised and guided by 

city council park ranger Jason 

Roberts have uncovered a legacy 

of the area’s industrial past. 

Leather off-cuts, in surprisingly 

good condition from a footwear 

maker, had been dumped 

there. 

The origin is not clear, but a 

likely candidate is the Arctic 

Shoe Company. This was a bootmaking 

business that operated 

from 1926 to 1939. 

Skins were bought from the 

Bowron Tanneries in Woolston 

and made into sheepskin boots 

for sale all over New Zealand. 

Haeata Community Campus 

students enjoyed the opportunity 

to help us design and create a 

“lizard island” last year which is 

already occupied. 

Having completed the 

landscape layout and mulching 

to prepare the soil the land is 

now ready for some serious 

planting, mulching and weeding 

tasks. 

The Estuary Trust will be hosting 

several, three-hour Saturday 

morning working sessions. 

We invite you to contact the 

trust on info@estuary.org.nz 

to be listed on the “Mugford 

restoration team” mail-out list to 

receive dates and times of these 

restoration days. 

Let us turn this waste area back 

to an ecological standard where 

birds, lizards, plants and insects 

can thrive again.
