Restoration of Sumner park’s 

‘shabby’ gates is on the cards 

• By Samantha Mythen 

THE HISTORICAL gates at the 

St Leonards Park entrance in 

Sumner will finally be repaired. 

City council community 

parks manager Al Hardy told 

Bay Harbour News the city 

council would report to the 

Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board on August 26 

about possible steps forward for 

their restoration, nine months 

after it was first brought to their 

attention. 

He said the gates had been 

maintained on a reactive basis 

and were now “up for” a 

funding renewal to address 

repairs. 

“It is possible to restore 

the gates. We are currently 

awaiting quotes for 

restoration. The work will 

entail cleaning off the paint, 

repairing cast and wrought 

iron components, treating 

corrosion and repainting,” 

Hardy said. 

“This may or may not require 

their removal from the site to 

undertake the work.” 

Community board member 

Darrell Latham has voiced 

his concern about the lack of 

maintenance of the gates in recent 

years.

future of Godley House site 


DIAMOND HARBOUR 

residents may be able to enjoy 

a beverage or two at a licenced 

hospitality venue on the site of 

the former Godley House in the 

future. 

Following discussions with the 

city council, the Department of 

Conservation has suggested part 

of the Stoddart Point Reserve 

might be able to be leased out for a 

hospitality venture under section 

73(3) of the Reserves Act 1977. 

It said this may be a possibility 

if the circumstances comply with 

the Act’s requirements. 

City council head of parks 

Andrew Rutledge said council 

staff will be working with the 

Banks Peninsula Community 

Board over the coming months 

to “determine the next steps, 

taking into consideration the 

Department of Conservation 

position.” 

Diamond Harbour Community 

Association chairman Nathan 

Graham said it had been 10 years 

since the original venue, Godley 

House, was demolished. 

The association hoped, for the 

community’s sake, “they could 

get some sense of restoration of

“If we can’t get it back, it will

In 2018, it was discovered 

that the site had been made a

in 2006. 

This means the site can only

excludes a licensed venue. 

A temporary lease on the site, 

which allowed for the establishment 

of the Dark Star Ale House 

in 2011, was a mistake by the city 

council and the lease had to end. 

The Banks Peninsula Community 

Board has since been 

working with the city council 

to attempt to change the reserve 

status or see what other options 

are available. 

Graham said the community 

association had been campaigning 

for a revokation of the status.

said. 

“We’ve been working towards 

a way to get some functionality 

of the former Godley House.” 

In 2019, the city council held 

a public consultation with community 

members, including Diamond 

Harbour school, residents 

and local businesses, asking 

them what they would like to see 

at the reserve. 

Feedback was diverse but an 

overarching theme was the desire 

to have somewhere to socialise, 

with 132 people specifically 

requesting a licenced venue. 

Said Graham: “A licenced 

venue is high up on people’s 

agendas.” 

The community board is now 

waiting for a detailed report 

from the city council on what 

options are available.

No simple solution for 

stormwater drains 


HEAVY RAINFALL this year 

has meant the stormwater drains 

at Sumner have had to be cleared 

out on more than 20 occasions 

to date. 

City council head of three 

waters and waste Helen 

Beaumont said the outfalls, 

which drain onto Sumner beach, 

are cleared by excavators when 

rain is expected. This helps to 

prevent flooding in Sumner 

village. 

“The forecast is monitored 

closely and we respond as 

required,” said Beaumont. 

The total recorded excavation 

costs since November 2018 are 

$72,929. 

Over the 2020-2021 period, the 

costs so far have been $26,860. 

June and July costs are not 

included, but these could add 

approximately $18,000. 

For the 2019-2020 period, the 

costs were $26,943 and for the 

2018-2019 period, the costs were 

$19,126. 

“While the costs are reasonably 

consistent, is also worth noting 

that the annual rainfall over that 

period has been between 50-60% 

of the typical annual rainfall in 

Sumner,” said Beaumont. 

DRAINAGE: Stormwater outflow pipes, Sumner Beach.

“As such, when a more 

“typical” year occurs the 

costs would be higher due to 

more frequent rain events and 

potentially higher rainfall.” 

Beaumont said there is no 

simple engineering solution for 

preventing the drains from being 

blocked due to dynamic sand 

levels compared to the level of 

the road and the drains. 

“A number of years ago, the 

level of sand was well below the 

outfalls, it has been increasing 

over many years and is currently 

approximately the same height as 

the road,” said Beaumont. 

“The height of the outfall can’t 

be increased as it would then 

be higher than the point where 

water enters the stormwater 

network. At this point in time 

responding to rain events 

is appropriate.”

DUMPING 

Deterioration ‘serious’ 

• From page 1 

“Sadly, the gates have been left 

to deteriorate and are in very 

poor condition. They are in need 

of tender loving care to bring 

them back to pristine condition,” 

he said. 

“Paint has faded, the exterior 

surface is pitted with rust and in 

several places, the rust 

has completely eaten 

through the main 

pillars supporting the 

gates.” 

Prior to his death in 

June 2020, Sumner resident 

Ross Clapp had 

shared his concerns 

about the gate’s “shabby 

state,” with Latham, and asked 

for his help in doing something 

about it. 

In response to Clapp’s concerns, 

Latham had raised the 

issue of the gate’s disrepair with 

the board in October last year, 

hoping to see action from the city 

council to restore the gates or see 

an alternative proposed. 

“From my casual observation, 

the gates will require considerable 

restoration work to restore them 

given the serious deterioration that 

has taken place,” Latham said. 

The park is actively used by 

Sumner residents, with cricket 

and rugby often played on the 

grass area. 

The Sumner-Redcliffs Historical 

Society would also like to see 

the gate’s repaired. 

“They should not have been allowed 

to get into that bad state in 

the first place,” society secretary 

Topsy Rule said. 

“It’s just like your house, you 

respect it and if it’s been broken, 

you fix it.” 

The park’s grounds were 

remodelled, made larger and 

opened in 1926. The 

gates were unlocked 

by Sumner Mayoress 

Mrs Nicholson. 

During the unlocking, 

Nicholson 

expressed a desire the 

park would be a source 

of health and happiness 

for years to come. 

“The gates are an excellent 

example of that period in our 

history,” said Latham. 

In response to Hardy’s comments, 

Latham said he was 

pleased to learn that the gates 

may be restored. 

However, he remained concerned 

about the lack of scheduled 

maintenance previously 

undertaken on the gates. 

“To suggest that the gates are 

‘’maintained on a reactive basis’’ 

is somewhat concerning,” he said. 

“These gates have historical 

significance for Sumner residents 

and are part of our heritage. They 

should be part of a scheduled 

maintenance check programme. I 

doubt whether the gates of Mona 

Vale or the Botanical Gardens are 

maintained on a reactive basis.”

Lookout fundraiser nears target 


THE SUMMIT Road Society is 

now onto the home straight with 

raising funds to build the John 

Jameson Lookout. 

The society applied for the 

final $65,000 needed from the 

Lotteries Environment and 

Heritage Fund last week. 

It has already sourced 80 per 

cent of the funding required to 

build the lookout over Lyttelton 

Harbour, opposite the Sign of the 

Bellbird in Kennedys Bush and 

the Ohinetahi Reserve, from a 

combination of its own money 

and external grants. 

The lookout is expected to cost 

$340,000 in total. 

In March 2020, the project 

received $150,000 from a city 

council endowment fund and at 

the end of last year, it received 

$50,000 from the JD Stout 

Charitable Trust. 

Just recently, in July, it 

received $40,000 from the Rāta 

Foundation. 

Summit 

Road Society 

secretary Marie 

Gray said 

last year the 

focus was on 

the lookout’s 

design, 

Marie Gray 

whereas this 

year it was on 

raising money to make the 

project happen. 

“We spent 2020 looking at 

formalising the design in consultation 

with lots of people in the 

community and we also had an 

engineering survey done,” said 

Gray. 

“The most work we’ve done 

this year has been focused on 

funding.” 

She said the society hopes to 

hear back about the Lotteries 

fund in November. 

“If that is granted, we hope to 

start building the lookout early 

next year, although there is still a 

lot of planning to do.” 

The Summit Road Society aims 

to create an area where everyone 

can enjoy the “iconic view” over 

Lyttelton Harbour, as well as learn 

about the area’s cultural 

and environmental heritage, 

said Gray. 

It has been working closely 

with Ngāti Wheke of Rāpaki 

to incorporate the stories and 

history of mana whenua, the 

right of Ngāti Wheke to manage 

the area of land. 

FINAL 

STRETCH: A 

new lookout 

proposed for 

the car park 

across the 

road from 

the Sign of 

the Bellbird, 

Kennedys 

Bush, has 

almost 

reached its 

funding goal. 

The lookout will continue the 

legacy of Harry Ell and the role 

of John Jameson and the Summit 

Road Society in protecting the 

biodiversity of the Port Hills. 

Harry Ell was a city councillor 

and member of Parliament in the 

early 1900s. 

He was famous for promoting 

Summit Rd and conservation 

work around the Port Hills. 

His grandson, John Jameson, 

founded the Summit Road 

Society in 1948 and the lookout 

would be named after him.

Picnic table 

shelter for 

Akaroa 

Recreation 

Ground 


THE AKAROA and Bays Lions 

club is gifting a picnic table shelter 

to the Akaroa Recreation Ground. 

It will commemorate the club’s 

50th anniversary, which will be in 

February, 2022. 

However, it is hoped the shelter 

will be installed before the end 

of the year, ready for use over 

summer. 

The proposed shelter will be 

built by the barbeque the Lions 

club gifted to the grounds to mark 

its 40th Anniversary in 2012. 

The club approached the Banks 

Peninsula Community Board 

earlier this year with the proposal. 

The community board approved 

the venture on Monday. 

Community board chairwoman 

Tori Peden said: “It will be 

another great resource for a 

well-used area, especially for over 

the summer months when the 

community is out and about.” 

It is hoped subsequent shelters 

might be installed around the 

Banks Peninsula as an ongoing 

project by the Lions club.

Steve Hansen - The Legacy 

The making of a New Zealand coaching great by Gregor Paul 

Between the years 2012 and 2019, Sir Steve Hansen oversaw an era of such remarkable 

success that it would be almost impossible to repeat. His 15-year career in the All Blacks 

coaching team is the heaviest footprint in rugby history. Of the 210 tests he was involved with, 

his team lost just 25 times. Of the 107 tests he served as head coach, Sir Steve accumulated 

a record 4 World Rugby Coach of the Year awards and orchestrated 93 victories - a winning 

percentage of 87 per cent, the highest of any All Blacks coach. Steve Hansen: The Legacy delves 

into the highs and the lows that earned the New Zealand rugby knight a place in the pantheon 

of world rugby coaching greats. Revealing and perceptive, the book uncovers how

Hansen dealt with the immeasurable pressure of leading the world’s most famous 

rugby team; the tension created by being re-appointed specifically to win the Rugby 

World Cup. Much more than a biography, in Steve Hansen: The Legacy, awardwinning 

writer Gregor Paul tells the compelling story of the former policeman from 

Mosgiel, his quest for world rugby dominance and his journey to coaching greatness. 

Supercars 

The Great Australian Sporting rivalry Story by Luke West 

V8 Supercars is a great Australian sporting success story, still going strong for over a quarter 

of a century. It was the first local race series to gain a mainstream national following, 

catapulting the likes of Peter Brock and Dick Johnson to fame against the backdrop of 

Mount Panorama, Bathurst. These days the sport draws huge crowds, attracts big-dollar TV 

rights deals and a new generation of heroes have appeared battling over old territory, plus 

a host of new street circuits, turning this Australian motor sport into a globally recognised 

phenomenon. 

The V8s have evolved into today’s Supercars Championship, creating household megastars 

such as Craig Lowndes, Marcos Ambrose, Jamie Whincup and Scott McLaughlin. Supercars 

gives detailed insight into how each and every championship was won, tracking the 

development of the Supercars class between 1993-2010. 

This comprehensive and absorbing account of a uniquely Australian sport is a must for any 

race fan’s bookshelf. 

Mental Fitness 

By Paul Wood 

The bestselling author of How to Escape from Prison, prisoner-turned-psychologist Paul Wood on 

developing the mental strength and fitness to take on all of life’s challenges Getting and staying 

mentally fit, just like getting and maintaining a high level of physical fitness, involves hard work, 

effort, and consistency. Our level of mental fitness determines how effectively we can flourish 

through adversity, realise our potential, and be happier with our lives. We all know about mental 

stress (or we think we do). We’ve definitely all experienced it, and none of us like it. Yet this is not 

a threat to be avoided. Mental stress is perfectly analogous to physical stress: it is the mind’s way 

of telling us that what we are attempting to perform is challenging our resource. This is a catalyst 

for growth, and a sign we are pursuing our potential. When we experience stress, we have a 

choice: we can heed that signal and give up - after all, we’re meant to stay in our psychic comfort 

zone all the time, right? In Mental Fitness you will learn how to: Increase your mental fitness, just 

as you would increase your physical fitness Get closer to your potential by working proactively to 

maintain your mental fitness Experience the right level of stress (this is what makes us get fitter) 

Cope effectively for longer before you get fatigued or exhausted (it doesn’t mean you don’t feel 

the struggle) Pay attention to the indicators of fatigue to avoid burnout and unnecessary misery. 

In Our Own Backyard 

By Anne Kayes 

It’s March 2020 and Liza, her husband and two teenage children are at home in Auckland 

in level-four lockdown due to Covid-19. Reflections with her family around the dining table 

inspire Liza to reflect on another challenging time in history nearly forty years before when 

the South African Springbok rugby team toured New Zealand. Casting her memory back to 

1981, Liza recalls her life as a fifteen-year-old, including her first love, friendships, first-hand 

experiences of racism, and what it means and what it costs to find your voice and use it. In 

Our Own Backyard is a startling, confronting portrait of a society divided. Anne Kayes has 

written a masterful YA novel that considers questions of human equality that are as pertinent 

in the twenty-first century as they were in 1981. 

A Woman of Intelligence 

By Karin Tanabe 

An exhilarating tale of one remarkable woman’s journey find her purpose, and herself, in 

post-war America. New York, 1954. A Fifth Avenue address, parties at the Plaza, two healthy 

sons and the ideal husband: what looks like a perfect life for Katharina Edgeworth is anything 

but. As a single girl in 1940s Manhattan, Katharina was a translator at the newly formed 

United Nations, devoting her days to her work and the promise of world peace - and her nights 

to cocktails and the promise of a good time. Now the wife of a beloved pediatric surgeon 

and heir to a shipping fortune, Katharina is trapped in a gilded cage, desperate to escape 

the constraints of domesticity. So when she is approached by the FBI and asked to join their 

ranks as an informant, Katharina seizes the opportunity. A man from her past has become 

a high-level Soviet spy, but no one has been able to infiltrate his circle. Enter Katharina, the 

perfect woman for the job. Navigating the demands of the FBI and the secrets of the KGB, she 

becomes enthralled by her secret mission. But as those closest to her lose their covers, and 

their lives, Katharina’s secret soon threatens to ruin her.

centres will remain open, with

Said city council head of

Sarah Numan: “The community

the consultation process that 

they want these service centres

Tsunami 

warning 

system 

inadequate 

BANKS PENINSULA will get 

tsunami warning sirens installed 

if a recommended upgrade of 

Canterbury’s tsunami warning 

system goes ahead. 

Currently, there are 45 tsunami 

warning sirens strategically 

located along the Christchurch 

coastline between Brooklands and 

Taylors Mistake. 

However, there are no tsunami 

warning sirens in Banks Peninsula, 

which could be at risk of 

flooding in the event of a large 

tsunami. 

City council head of civil 

defence emergency management 

Rob Orchard said: “We have 

updated the tsunami evacuation 

zones for Christchurch and 

Banks Peninsula in response to 

[scientific] information as it shows 

that flooding could occur further 

inland than previously identified.” 

It is being recommended that 

the current tsunami warning 

system be extended. The cost is 

estimated at $3 million and there 

is money in the 2021-31 Long 

Term Plan for the work. 

A decision will be made on 

whether to proceed when the city 

council meets tomorrow.

Vibrant photography club celebrates 25 years 

ON LOCATION: The club has held regular workshops and field trips since 1996. including a portrait workshop at Godley House in 2003 and a trip to Castle 

Hill in 2013, where club member Dorothy Shrimpton wasn’t afraid to get her feet wet (right). 


THE DIAMOND Harbour 

Camera Club is celebrating 

25 years of photography and 

community this year, with an 

exhibition at Stoddart Cottage. 

Committee member Joan 

Gladwyn joined the club six 

years ago with her husband. 

They attended a club workshop, 

hoping to meet new people 

in their community. 

Since then, she has been on the 

committee for more than four 

years and has previously been 

chairwoman for three years. 

“Of course, my husband and I 

have both improved at photography, 

but the overwhelming best 

thing has been all the friendships 

we have made,” Gladwyn said. 

“It’s a really lovely organisation 

to be a part of for all the camaraderie.” 

The club’s exhibition ‘Rebuild 

Refocused’ features photos recording 

Christchurch’s evolving 

cityscape, captured during the 

club’s annual field trip. 

Committee secretary Tim 

Cheesebrough has been involved 

with Christchurch’s rebuild and 

acts as the club’s tour guide, 

sharing his knowledge and 

insight into how the urban space 

has progressed in the last decade. 

The exhibition includes images 

of new and old architecture, 

vibrant street art, bright night 

scenes and nature. 

“The nice thing about this 

exhibition is that the rebuild is so 

important and affects everyone 

so much,” Gladwyn said. 

“Being able to show what has 

changed is a really good thing.” 

Gladwyn also said the exhibition 

was a great opportunity 

to show the community and 

visitors what the club does. 

“It’s a chance to show off.” 

Currently, there are more 

than 40 members, ranging from 

beginners to accomplished professionals. 

The club runs monthly 

meetings with guest speakers, 

workshops and field trips, 

exploring varied photography 

genres. It also produces a 

calendar, with money raised 

from its sale donated to the 

Diamond Harbour Volunteer 

Fire Fighter Brigade. 

In the past, the club has 

organised photography lessons 

at Diamond Harbour School 

and run a photo competition 

for the pupils. Field trips have 

included outings to Castle Hill 

and Birdlings Flat. 

In addition to ‘Rebuild 

Refocused’, club members are 

now getting ready for their 

annual exhibition, held each year 

at Orton Bradley Park during the 

Spring Fair. 

‘Rebuild Refocused’ will be on 

at Stoddart Cottage until the end 

of August.

Art for art’s sake – but it is also about 

As the Sumner Art 

Society gets ready for 

its annual exhibition, 

reporter Samantha 

Mythen went along to 

one of their weekly art 

practice sessions to see 

how the preparation 

was going and chat 

with the dedicated 

artists behind it all 

FIFTY-SEVEN years ago, a small 

group of artists hosted an art 

exhibition for the public. 

The exhibition was so successful, 

with almost all paintings 

sold, that it has been repeated 

every year since. 

That small group of artists is 

known as the Sumner Art Society. 

The group’s current members 

will host its annual exhibition 

this weekend. 

Rae Manson’s current focus is 

creating abstract works of art. 

Behind her are painted seascapes 

of lighthouses floating amid 

clouds. 

Previously working in real 

estate, Rae “had a break from art 

for 33 years.” It had been something 

she had practised since she 

was a youngster and could grip 

a pencil between small round 

fingers. 

“I promised myself that when I 

retired I would spend more time 

with my art,” she said. 

Now, every Wednesday she 

goes along to the-more-oftenthan-not 

sunbathed Mt Pleasant 

Yacht Club, perched next to the 

Avon-Heathcote Estuary, to 

spend her morning painting. 

“In my five years of practice, 

I’ve improved so much,” she said. 

Kilmeny Keyse, the society’s 

secretary, is working next to Rae 

on a landscape. 

“I often paint with oils. I like 

its translucency and as it takes a 

while to dry, you can manipulate 

it.” 

She often works with tools 

such as palette knives to create 

touchable patterns that literally 

jump off the canvas. 

Kilmeny has really only begun 

to dedicate time to her art practise 

since retiring. 

CREATIVE RETIREMENT: Rae Manson (left) and Benita Dale McMillen are continually exploring different ways to paint 

and create as part of the Sumner Art Society. 

“I always wanted to go to art 

school, but my parents thought 

I’d end up a beatnik so sent me 

off to study science. 

“I love coming here now.” 

Her two worlds have since 

collided . . . at the yacht club she 

dons a paint-splattered lab coat. 

But the art society is not just 

about creating and crafting. It’s 

about collaboration and friendship. 

“This group is a community 

service. An awful lot of chat goes 

on. People are not shy to give 

opinions of each other’s art,” 

Kilmeny said. 

Rae agreed: “There’s always 

someone around to ask for help 

if you’re not sure.” 

Just that morning Benita Dale 

McMillen had been asking others 

for advice on what colour to 

paint a background. She asks me 

too, wondering about the colour 

of a window sill a cat sits on. 

“White or a peachy pink?” she 

asked. 

She settled on a white, allowing 

the eye to be drawn to 

the bright colours of the scene 

outside of the window. 

“We have people who’ve 

worked professionally as artists 

as well as new beginners to the 

practice. Anyone wanting to 

join shouldn’t feel anxious or 

worried. Everyone is welcome,” 

Rae said. 

“Since the earthquakes, the art 

scene has lost so much,” Kilmeny 

said. 

“It’s why this group is so 

important, and the fact it’s been 

going for so long is so special. 

We think it’s one of the oldest in 

New Zealand.” 

The art society was established 

in 1959, with the first few meetups 

hosted in its founder Reg 

Holcroft’s home. 

Classes in all matter of instrument 

use were taught, from oil 

painting to watercolour, pottery 

to pastels, to wood carving and 

china painting. 

Well-known artists and art 

teachers often visited to lend a 

voice. 

Membership was at its peak in

birds. 

the late 1990s with 200 members. 

Now there are 40 members 

and they come together each 

week to work on their own 

practice. 

Daphne Russell said one of the 

fun parts is that everyone comes 

from a different background. 

Valerie Campbell, working on 

intricate hand-drawn and watercoloured 

native birds, agreed. 

“The club is great because of 

the variety of people. They all 

provide positive feedback and 

can help point you in the right 

direction. It’s all about the energy 

here.” 

You do not have to live in 

Sumner to attend the group – 

members come from all over 

Christchurch. 

Alison Lowe loves going to 

take part each Wednesday. 

“It’s the social side that makes 

this group so good. You can 

paint in your studio at home but 

why would you when you can 

come here every week to enjoy a 

good chat,” she said. 

Alison is currently following 

a course by New Zealand artist 

Judy Woods. 

The group members are all 

unique painters, influenced 

by their own experiences and 

desires. Walking into the yacht 

club is like walking into an art 

gallery, there are different styles 

and different subjects.

companionship 

Sandra Palmer takes along 

her own table to the yacht club, 

setting up the latest watercolour 

painting she is working on. 

“I love the way watercolour 

does its own thing,” she said. 

“I love putting pigment down 

on a wet background and seeing 

the way it moves across the 

canvas.” 

Sandra has always dabbled in 

painting, especially when her 

children were small and she had 

the time. 

“It’s a life-long practise,” she 

said. 

“It also provides the opportunity 

to make new friends and to 

travel.” 

There is much variety in the 

subject matter the artists choose 

to focus on. 

Her love of animals often 

inspires Celia Morrison’s artwork. 

Currently, she is painting delicate 

whispers on a curious, big-eyed cat. 

Daphne said she “loves 

scenery,” a mountain landscape 

with a glorious azure sky sits 

behind her work table, reflecting 

the Southern Alps seen in the 

distance from the window of the 

yacht club. 

“As I see it, I want to paint it,” 

she said. 

Bruce Marks, now retired, but 

previously a tradesman also loves 

to paint landscapes. 

“The places I’ve been and the 

places I’ll go,” he said. 

A Sumner scene is inspiring 

his latest artwork, the canvas 

he’s working on soaked in a deep 

cerulean. 

Bruce likes to diversify though. 

He shows me an oil painting of a 

monarch butterfly, sunset wings 

over an acrylic background. 

Benita Dale originally started 

painting as she wanted to create 

portraits of her family. 

Now she paints an array of subjects, 

inspired by her time spent 

living both in Christchurch and 

Tauranga. 

Valerie has been experimenting 

with suiboku-ga, Japanese ink 

painting. She spent a year living 

in Katashima, Japan. 

“Painting is such a satisfying 

practise. You don’t always like your 

work, but time flies,” she said. 

ENGINEER TO ARTIST: John Robb learned drafting during 

his years as an engineer. He now uses those skills to 

create intricate drawings each Wednesday. (Below) – Celia

“You can sit down at 9am and 

next thing it’s 2pm and you’ve 

forgotten all about morning tea 

and lunch. Nothing else can create 

that level of concentration in a 

way that is not draining.” 

Beth Cook is one of the longest-serving 

members of the art 

society. An artwork herself, she 

wears a scarf featuring a kaleidoscope 

of colours. 

“I’ve been around since the 

1970s,” said Beth. 

“I come for the companionship 

and you learn so much from the 

other people around you. It’s a 

wonderful group.” 

The oldest member is in her 

90s. Their youngest member is 18. 

Geri Parawa said she had been 

a member of the group for so 

long, she could not even remember 

when she first joined. 

“I love standing in the middle 

of the room and looking at what 

everyone is doing,” she said. 

“You can always learn something 

from someone else.” 

Geri is experimenting with 

vibrant inks. Her subject matter, 

a vase filled with radiant flowers. 

John Robb, previously an 

engineer, loves to draw buildings 

and trains. 

His fine-line drawings take 

hours. He fills them in with 

colour. 

“It’s so relaxing being here. 

And it’s a commitment. I come 

every week.” 

The view behind him is the 

Ferrymead Estuary. 

“The companies nice and I love 

to watch the birds.”

VOLCANIC PAST: Aerial view of Lyttelton Harbour showing

Te Ūaka The Lyttelton Museum ref 14428.1 

https://www.teuaka.org.nz/online-collection/1135157 

AROUND 15 million years 

ago (Ma) the Pacific Ring of 

Fire became active in our 

region and began to build the 

backbone of Te Waipounamu 

South Island – Ka Tiritiri-ote-Moana, 

the great Southern 

Alps. 

In the sea to the east of 

this subduction zone’s great 

uplifting, new shield volcanoes 

began to form and rise from the 

surrounding waters. 

THe first of them was the 

Lyttelton Volcano that began 

erupting 11 Ma, reaching 

almost 1000m high around 10 

Ma before explosively forming 

the beginnings of today’s 

natural harbour. 

As the volcanic activity 

slowly moved southeast away 

from Whakaraupō Lyttelton 

Harbour, it formed Te Ahu 

Pātiki Mt Herbert Volcano 

from 9.7 – 8 Ma and then 

moved on to form the vast 

Akaroa Volcano from 9 – 8 

Ma. Volcanic activity began 

to subside from around 7 Ma 

ceasing altogether after 5.8 Ma. 

It’s only then, with the 

never-ending effects of erosion 

along the volcanic valleys, that 

we have the beginnings of the 

weathered volcanic peninsula 

that we know and love today. 

Although if Cook had been 

sailing at the time he would 

have been correct in calling it 

an island. 

It wasn’t until 2 Ma that glaciers 

began to grind the Southern 

Alps down, with their rock 

and loess slowly forming the 

Canterbury Plains. And around 

20,000 years ago those plains 

finally reached the volcanic 

island to form Horomaka Banks 

Peninsula.

Readers respond to 

last week’s front page 

article on a plan to 

reduce the speed limit on 

Humphreys Drive from 70 

to 60km/h. 

Darrell Latham is concerned 

that a safer speed on Humphreys 

Drive will increase commuter 

times for motorists into the 

city. 

I’m sure he’s done the maths. 

The difference in commute 

time between the two speeds 

is around 10sec over the just 

over 1km. Would motorists 

commuting notice this on 

their 11min commute to the 

city? (I’ve seen the signs on the 

causeway). 

This of course assumes that 

motorists instantly accelerate to 

70km/h and can break instantly 

to stopping at the Dyers Rd 

signals if they’re red. The actual 

increase in travel time would 

be less than 10sec, and all to 

improve safety for all road users? 

Fortunately, safety experts 

don’t wait for crashes to 

happen before providing safer 

environments, they’re fortunate 

enough to have data on crash 

rates in similar environments 

all across the country and can 

determine safe and appropriate 

speeds without having to wait for 

people to be killed or seriously 

injured on every road. 

It’s interesting that 10sec 

additional for commuting 

motorists (noting we have 

ambitious carbon reduction 

targets both locally and 

nationally) is a concern, but no 

issue whatsoever with a much 

greater diversion for cyclists 

through Charlesworth Reserve 

(a far more sustainable mode 

for those who are able). There’s 

also the bus which is now on a 

10min frequency at peak times. – 

Darren Fidler 

The speed limit on Humphreys 

Drive should be reduced to 

60km/h from the current 

70km/h. I often see people 

on that road exceeding the 

speed limit and doing closer to 

80km/h. 

When I am cycling, cars 

passing at high speed can be very 

intimidating and the wind blast 

from the vehicle particularly 

large commercial ones can be 

very disturbing. It is nonsense 

to argue that reducing the speed 

limit will reduce times into the 

city as this stretch of road can 

only be 600-700m in length and 

ends in traffic lights which may 

force you to stop. – Chris Irons 

A definite no to decreasing the 

speed from 70km/h to 60km/h.

They (council) have just spent 

millions of dollars on cycleways 

and reduced the speed in 

Woolston along with businesses 

losing customers to enable 

cyclists to travel safely into and 

out of town. 

We travel Humphreys Drive 

daily at peak traffic times. If we 

are lucky enough to see a cyclist 

and then they aren’t even using 

the new cycleways – Debbie 

Camp 

If the city council is really 

interested in cyclist safety along 

Humphreys Drive they should 

pave it in a material that doesn’t 

flick up stones at cyclists and 

other cars. The current speed 

is absolutely appropriate given 

the rural nature of the road, 

no matter what the NZTA 

pontificates. 

The speed limit should stay 

the same and if they’re really 

concerned, extend the separated 

cycle path along Humphreys 

Drive and into Ferrymead, 

there’s plenty of empty land for 

them to do so. – Samuel Zelter 

As a cyclist, I am delighted 

that the council plans to safely 

connect up the current cycle 

path to town with the Ferrymead 

Bridge and to reduce the speed 

limit for cars. 

The current on-road cycle lane 

is narrow, partially obstructed, 

often covered in gravel and feels 

unsafe. 

As a motorist, my initial 

concern was the nasty feeling 

of being slowed down when 

dashing about my daily business. 

Then I did the calculations and 

found that the maximum extra 

time this will take is 10sec. 

Actually, I think going 10sec 

slower into town is a reasonable 

price to pay for the additional 

safety. – Pat McIntosh

LETTERS 15 

As a Ferrymead resident and 

frequent user by cycle, 70km/h is 

fine and safe. 

The bigger issue in 

transitioning to lower pollution 

is the efficiency of existing 

combustion engine transport. 

Smooth constant velocity uses 

far, far less fuel. Stop-start, speed 

up slow down burns substantially 

more fuel and brake pads and 

tyre wear. 

Traffic planners are causing 

far more pollution than saving 

accidents. 

EVs in particular are extremely 

susceptible to rapid battery 

discharge from stop-start, hills 

and headwinds. Plant shelter 

along roadways. – Des Knowles 

The options for walking a dog 

off-leash in my neighbourhood 

have been steadily decreasing, 

though on the face of it there 

would appear to be an adequate 

amount of green space from a 

non-dog owner’s point of view. – 

Trudy McBeath 

I obviously think this is a great 

idea. I think Laurenson Park 

(left) might work. People already 

take their dogs there and it’s 

partially fenced already. 

It also has a bin for putting 

poo in. That might keep the 

neighbourhood cleaner. 

I regularly pick up others’ 

offerings when walking my dog. 

– Liz Wyllie 

It is absolutely ridiculous the 

council is even considering 

not using the alternative route 

through Charlesworth Reserve. 

The park route is free from 

vehicular traffic, sheltered from 

the easterly wind, and does not 

affect any precious bird activity. – 

Alan Truscott 

I am writing in response to 

Darrell Latham’s opposition 

to reducing the speed on 

Humphreys Drive. 

Counting a generous 1.3km of 

road at 70km/h, the time taken 

is 0.0186 h (3sf). At 60km/h the 

time taken is 0.0217 h (3sf). The 

difference between these times is 

0.0031 h which is 11.2sec (3sf). 

Personally, I feel that I will be 

able to absorb this prolonged 

commuting time when deciding 

what time I leave for work. – 

Lydia Duport 

I think the speed limit should 

remain at 70km/h, the road is 

wide enough with no buildings 

alongside and a great deal of 

money spent on the cycle way. – 

Graham Fear 

I am for the speed limit being 

lowered. Currently if you are 

driving to Sumner from town 

along Linwood Ave, it is 60km/h 

along there, then 70km/h along 

Humphreys Drive and then back 

to 50km/h when you get to Ferry 

Rd. 

Having it 60km/h from 

Linwood Ave to Ferry Rd/Main 

Rd would be much simpler and 

would also be safer for people 

turning into Mitre 10 and the 

shops nearby. And also safer for 

cyclists. 

Also I find it surprising that 

board member Darrell Latham is 

wanting to keep it at 70km/h due 

to not wanting to increase the 

commuter time. 

Humphreys Drive is 

approximately 1.5km long. 

At 60km/h an hour, that 

takes you 90sec to drive that 

distance. 

If I have done my maths 

correctly, it would take 77sec at 

70km/h. 

Decreasing the speed limit 

would therefore only add 13sec to 

your journey. 

I feel that time difference is 

negligible in most people’s car 

journeys. – Angela Williams 

Keep speed the same please. – 

Julie Riley 

Diamond Harbour 

dog park 

Finally, a dog park mooted for 

Diamond Harbour. 

As a long-term resident and 

dog owner of Diamond Harbour, 

I am excited by the prospect of 

having a local dog park. 

My location suggestion would 

be in the gently sloping paddock 

at the very top of Whero Ave that 

stretches through to Bayview Rd. 

This provides magnificent 

views of the harbour from 

Sugarloaf to Godley Head. The 

cost of adapting this area would 

be minimal as it already has 

reasonable fencing and water 

outlets. 

With signage and suitable 

doggy-do facilities installed it 

could be up and running in no 

time. 

This area is central to the 

village so handy for most. –

A ‘gold mine’ 

of footwear 

for all ages 

Wednesday August 11 2021 Bay Harbour News 19 

The Footwear Factory in Garlands 

Road Woolston has been a part of the 

Christchurch retail scene for more than 

a quarter of a century. Over that time 

thousands of people have flocked to the 

store to find bargains and good deals in 

quality footwear, ranging from children’s 

shoes, sandals and school shoes to men’s 

and women’s fashion and casual shoes, 

outdoor and sports shoes, bowls shoes, 

slippers, and safety footwear for the 

workplace. 

Launched in a small shop in Papanui, 

the business later operated in Riccarton 

for 12 years before moving to Garlands 

Rd 17 years ago. Owned by Russ and Jude 

Day, there you will find shelves lined with 

footwear in a huge variety of styles and 

colours for men, women and children – a 

‘gold mine’ for shoe-seeking shoppers. 

The footwear is brought in from all over 

the world, as well as coming from New 

Zealand manufacturers, and includes 

ends of lines and other well-priced items. 

Four main brands are carried – the 

New Zealand made McKinlays range of 

children’s school shoes, as well as mens 

and women’s styles. The well-known 

Hi-Tec range of outdoor footwear and 

tramping, New Balance sports shoes and 

a range of Keens sandals and outdoor 

footwear. These known brands cover all 

ages. New styles arrive almost every day, 

so there are always more to try on, while 

Russell and his second-in-charge Karen 

are happy to advise on styles and sizing. 

Located on a high-profile site at 

47C Garlands Rd, (next to Flags 

Tyres), the Footwear Factory is easy 

to find, and there is off-street parking 

available. They are open seven days a 

week – 9.30am- 5pm Monday to Friday, 

10am-2pm Saturday and 11am-3pm 

Sunday. Phone 389-3431. Check out

Volvo heads toward electric vehicle goal 

AS A COMPANY, Volvo has 

come out with some quite 

extraordinary announcements in 

recent times. 

First it was the decision, in the 

interests of safety, to speed-limit 

all of their vehicles to 180km/h. 

That I can understand, Volvo has 

long been a safety pioneer and 

that didn’t surprise me. 

However, one decision that 

has taken me by surprise is the 

direction where it is heading in 

terms of electric vehicles. The 

company’s goal is to produce just 

electric-only vehicles by 2040, 

with 50 per cent of their models 

to be electric-only by 2025, which 

is a vision to become completely 

carbon neutral. 

I’m not totally convinced that 

goal is achievable and I’m of the 

belief the world will still be buying 

cars with internal combustion 

engines for many years to come. 

That aside, the latest Volvo to 

come my way was a another step 

towards the electric revolution 

– the XC40 Recharge, the title 

obviously referring to the plug-in 

charging capability. The XC40 Recharge 

is a hybrid and that simply 

means it has a petrol engine and 

an electric motor, the combination 

works traditionally, the 

petrol engine powers the vehicle 

and charges the batteries. 

In turn, a 10.7kWh battery 

pack powers the electric motor, 

taking the load off the engine and 

creating fuel saving benefits. Also, 

the XC40 Recharge has a plugin 

facility, you can charge from 

home from a domestic three-pin 

outlet, or using a type 2 cable you 

can quick charge from one of the 

many and increasing number of 

stations scattered throughout new 

Zealand. 

As a driver you can also select 

electric-only motion. At best 

possible usage you could get 

46km without the petrol engine 

operating. That’s good enough for 

my workday commute and the 

batteries easily top up with fourhour 

domestic charge, while for 

interest’s sake you can travel up to 

about 600km using petrol. 

The XC40 isn’t new but it is 

in hybrid form; the Recharge 

is based on the floorpan of its 

stablemates and sits in the market 

at $85,900 which is just shy of the 

Government’s rebate scheme, that 

being the case it doesn’t quality

The Recharge model is listed with 

a 7.7-litre per 100km combined 

cycle fuel usage average when the 

engine is operating freely. That 

figure is easily achievable; the 

on-board readout was listing at 

8.6l/100km when I took the evaluation 

car back to the dealership. 

In standard hybrid mode Volvo 

claims a tempting 2.2/100km 

result. 

Not only has Volvo weathered 

the hard times that claimed its 

Swedish competitor Saab, but the 

company’s vision for the future is 

commendable, it has a direction 

that’s now visible for the entire 

world to see. 

Volvo will be quids-in and will 

have a hefty head start on other 

manufacturers going forward, 

while for those buyers who aren’t 

quite ready for full electric, the 

XC40 hybrid has the best of all 

worlds.
