On a page 1 today, we report on Francis and Shireen Helps who are now members of the New Zealand Order of Merit, and on pages 4 and 5 we detail honours given to Yvette Couch-Lewis, Ruth Dyson and Suzanne Blakely. The Helps have devoted 40 years of their life to conservation work protecting Kororā blue penguins and Hioho yellow-eyed penguins and nurturing biodiversity on their home at Pohatu Flea Bay, south east of Akaroa. Recognition though was far from their minds. When the email arrived informing them of the Queen’s Birthday Honour, they thought it could be a scam and were going to delete it. - Barry Clarke barry@starmedia.kiwi Samantha Mythen Ph: 021 919 917 samantha.mythen@starmedia.kiwi news ADVERTISING Jo-Anne Fuller Ph: 364 7425 jo.fuller@starmedia.kiwi Homecoming for artist Allie Rees has hosted her first solo exhibition since returning from Sydney three months ago.

Wednesday June June 9 2021 9 2021 Bay Bay Harbour News News 3 Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz CHAOS: The damage caused by a drink driver and volunteers who turned up to help with repairs. Drink driver ploughs into fence • By Samantha Mythen VOLUNTEERS donned gloves and shovels and got to work on Saturday after a drink driver ploughed through The Bays Kidsfirst kindergarten and community garden fence in Mt Pleasant. The 44-year-old driver was uninjured in the incident last Tuesday night. He has been charged with excess breath alcohol and will appear in court in July. Community garden co-ordinator Jocelyn Papprill said the fence was shattered, trees were uprooted, garden beds destroyed and pieces of the vehicle strewn everywhere. Papprill was out of the city when she got the call about the chaos. After she arrived home on Friday she reached out to the community, and a working bee was promptly organised for Saturday. Nine residents turned up including city councillor Sara Templeton, who brought a freshly-baked banana loaf along. “While it was gutting to have the fence so badly damaged, the community response was wonderful and it was great to get stuck in to tidy up as a group,” said Templeton. They spent two-and-a-half hours clearing up the damage. A large trailer load of green waste went into landfill, along with the broken car pieces. Uprooted trees were broken down for firewood or saved to rot into insect homes at the back of the garden. A raised tyre bed had been shunted sideways by the crash. It was placed back into position, refilled with dirt and replanted with seedlings donated by community members and by the Linwood Community Garden. “The area certainly looked much tidier but to repair the gap in the fence will take a while longer,” said Papprill. Hot tea, paired with Templeton’s banana loaf and a rhubarb crumble cake specially baked by the Mt Pleasant cafe, ended the working bee. “What would we do without people willing to volunteer their time – a team effort gets a job done quicker and it’s much more fun,” said Papprill. NEWS 3 High tide levels rise – study • From page 1 City council head of three waters and waste Helen Beaumont said tide levels are monitored as they provide information for computer modelling, which helps to determine recommended minimum floor levels for new developments. It also helps to determine design levels for flood protection works and infrastructure in tidal areas. The statistics further inform flood management mapping areas in the Christchurch District Plan, Helen Beaumont notations in Land Information Memoranda and other technical work, such as the assessment of risk from coastal hazards. Said Beaumont: “Properties that are already close to a current flood management area might be considered to be at risk of a onein-50-year flood as a result of the new information.” real estate • Full Service • FREE Appraisals Debra Hakaraia P 03 384 8600 M 0275 620 420 www.smartrealestate.co.nz get smart... get SOLD!
