Bikes in
tunnel a
hot topic
again
• By Samantha Mythen
DISCUSSION about making travel
easier for cyclists travelling from
Lyttelton through to Christchurch
city has sparked up again.
Cycle advocate and Lyttelton
resident Sarah Van Der Burch
said she wants it to be easier to get
bikes through the tunnel.
“If you can’t bike through the
tunnel or bus, you will drive
your car. I love biking. If, as a
community, we want to reduce
emissions, reducing our time in
cars is something we can all do as
individuals.”
This issue has been discussed
numerous times in the past.
Environment Canterbury
general manager of public
transport Stewart Gibbon said
ECan had engaged with cycle
advocates from Lyttelton two
years ago to explore options.
Said Gibbon: “We explored the
idea of secure bike storage on
the city side of the tunnel with
the bike advocacy group, but
there was little interest, and an
appropriate location and funding
was not found.”
Instead, the route 28 buses were
fitted with racks that hold three
bikes.

A spike in the cost of your power bill can

tell tale sign that your heat pump may
not be working at peak efficiency. And
while heat pumps are a cost effective
form of heating and it may seem to be
running normally, one of the biggest
signs it isn’t will be in your power bill.
And this is why:

energy use as your pump struggles
to maintain the desired room temperature. The reason could be a number
of things; blocked filters and / or coils, a compromised compressor or a
refrigerant leak. Like any appliance, regular maintenance of your heat pump
will mean it will run more efficiently and save you money. All of these things
will be assessed in a regular service by our trained technicians.
The power is all yours and the best thing you can do to extend the life and
efficiency of your heat pump is to have it professionally serviced at least
once a year. Our technicians do a comprehensive examination of your whole

Bid to add colour to streets
WALKING TO school in
Addington may soon be a
journey filled with artistic
inspiration if one Addington
group is successful in its
proposal to council.
In one of the more visually
vibrant proposals submitted
recently to the Spreydon-
Cashmere Community Board
meeting, Addington School
board of trustees chairwoman Jo
Robertson spoke of a proposal
to paint the roads in Addington
with colour and playful designs.
Her aim was to bring the
community together, connect
areas of Addington across
Brougham St, and make the
commute to/from school more
fun for children.
She said there was strong response
to the chalk art that had
appeared during the first Covid
lockdown as a way to brighten
up people’s lives. She said they
were playful streets, where the
community loved the interaction
with the chalk drawings.
“The community wants our
active school commutes to be
more fun for our tamariki.
We’d love to see art that is fun,
that reflects our whenua, and
reflects Addington people,” she
said.
She said that using playful
elements they can add a sense
OPTION: Addington could
soon have playful designs
on roads and footpaths
such as those used in
other locations to make
the journey to school more
fun for children.
of fun, safety and identity to the
area.
Robertson also said a
proposal to paint murals on the
Addington Park pavilion and
the toilet block at the Selwyn
St/Somerset Cres corner,
suggesting a competition
between schools could provide
designs for the murals.
In Brief
ROAD WORKS
The end is in sight for work
on several safety upgrades to
the city’s transport network.
City Council acting head of
transport Lynette Ellis said by
early October construction work
should be wrapped up on the
Dyers Pass Rd safety upgrade
and the realignment of the busy
intersection of Cashmere, Hoon
Hay and Worsleys Rd.
POOL OPENS TOMORROW
The much-anticipated $22 million
Te Pou Toetoe: Linwood pool will
open tomorrow. Due to Covid
level 2 restrictions, the opening
will be strictly limited to 100
invited people, and access to the
pool will be restricted to only 48
people at a time. The ‘Have a go’
activities and ‘Party in the park’
planned for Saturday and Sunday
have been postponed.
GARDEN CARE
Gardeners are encouraged to
‘gear up’ to protect themselves
against legionnaires’ disease as
they get stuck into their spring
gardens. Canterbury Medical
Officer of Health Dr Ramon Pink
said legionnaires’ disease, caused
by legionella bacteria, can start
with flu-like symptoms. This
year’s campaign highlights the
importance of using the right gear
when handling compost.

Participation a prize in itself for
• By John Cosgrove
MAN AND beast were running
together at the third annual 4Paws
Marathon series held on Sunday
at Bottle Lake Forest Park.
Observing Covid level 2
spacing rules, competitors
and their dogs from all over
the South Island lined up for
the start of events, including
a marathon, a half marathon,
16km, 10km and 5km runs, and
a 2.4km rascals walk/run.
They ran along tracks through
Bottle Lake Forest Park and
along nearby beaches – with
some going almost as far as the
Brighton Pier.
The day also hosted two
virtual races.
Organisers started lines of
competitors at ten-second
intervals. They also conducted
mandatory vet checks along the
way.
4Paws event organiser and race
director John Molloy said it was
a massive but fulfilling day.
“In all we were very impressed
with how people respected
the event’s Covid rules with
responsible mask usage in what
is a very social event (about 100
participants).”
He said dogs bring out the best
in people, and for the third year
in a row there were no dog –or

human – altercations.
“The smiles on everyones
faces . . . inspires us to keep
hosting this event. [It] is about
participation and not winning
so the winners get no winning
prizes as such.
“But in due time they will
realise they have won the
best prize of all – sharing
the experience of finishing a
marathon together with their
best friend,” Molloy said.
When it came to the multiple
races, he was unaware of any
event in the world that offered
this experience.
It was good to see both human
and dog winners were from
Christchurch, Molloy said.
Darryl Cotton and Pip, a
kelpie, of Rangiora won the
men’s marathon in 3hr 46min
31sec, while Holly Weston and
her sheep dog Billy Knowler of
Beckenham won the women’s in
3hr 55min 41sec.

Bus capacity

for cycles
• From page 1
However, Van Der Burch had
heard about times when there was
not enough room for all the bikes
on the rack, with cyclists having
to wait until the next bus.
She has already discussed her
ideas with Deputy Mayor and Lyttelton
resident Andrew Turner.
Said Turner: “This is an important
idea to talk about. We need
to think about whether increasing
capacity to carry bikes on buses
could work or maybe incentivise
cycling where travelling from
Lyttelton to the gondola and back
could be free if you have a bike.”
Turner said these decisions will
be up to ECan.
Cycling through the tunnel
or in any of the side tunnels has
been researched and dismissed as
unfeasible and unsafe.
Gibbon said there will be a
service review of route 28 in the
coming year ahead.
Van Der Burch said she hopes
to talk at ECan’s transportation
sub-committee in late October.

Get to know peninsula on foot
• By Samantha Mythen
TWO-THIRDS OF tickets
available have sold for an annual
walking festival exploring Banks
Peninsula.
The Banks Peninsula Walking
Festival is run over four
weekends in November, offering
guided walks in a variety of
locations all around the Peninsula.
More than 50 per cent of
spaces for the festival sold
within the first four days of sales
when the tickets were released
earlier this year.
Festival
co-ordinator
Sue Church
said the aim is
to promote “a
greater understanding”
of
Sue Church
the area and “to
encourage good
health and
well-being.”
“All walks are guided by local
volunteers with a good knowledge
of the walk they intend
to lead and who are passionate
about the area,” she said.
Many of the walks are across
private land and covenanted
areas in remote parts of
the peninsula, otherwise
inaccessible.
“These are always popular
with festival-goers, with the
longer, harder tramps usually
the first ones to sell out,”
Church said.
“It’s a novelty for them to be
able to access somewhere they
usually can’t go.”
Walks include exploring the
Kaitorete Spit, Brice Falls, Camp
Bay, Hinewai Reserve, the Hikuraki
covenant and many more,
with hikes varying in difficulty,
length and duration.
The festival began as the
Lyttelton Walking Festival but
expanded in 2013 to include the
whole peninsula.
It is run by representatives
from the Rod Donald Banks
Peninsula Trust and Little
River/Wairewa Community
Trust, with partners from
Akaroa District Promotions,
Diamond Harbour Community
Association, Governors Bay
Community Association and
Project Lyttelton assisting with
promoting the event.
Church said they are
“extremely grateful” to the
volunteer guides who plan and
lead the walks, as well as “the
generous private landowners”
who allow the festival access to
their land.
The event will go ahead fully if
Canterbury is at alert level 1.

How we aspire to meet our students
A “culturally responsive pedagogy” is a term that
many outside of the education sector may have heard
from time to time but have little grasp of. Such is the
way of many government departments with their
reliance on such jargon and assertions to stay the
course. What this means for us at Linwood College
at Ōtākaro is an endeavour to deliver an accessible
practice of our teaching and learning that values an
individual’s culture. It is a genuine attempt of our
educators to recognise, celebrate and utilise every
ākonga for their unique and meaningful identity and
background. We recognise as educators our tried
and true purpose is to advance academic progress
but we also aspire to ensure all our students feel their
cultural identity is strong, secure and fundamentally
valued along the way. Using this practice ensures
we are bicultural and upholding the principles of the
Treaty of Waitangi for both parties, and when we
succeed it benefits every student. For all ākonga, we
must work to ensure they all feel they belong within
the learning environment we provide and a sound,
clear kaupapa is shared with the community that
is focused on the potential of ‘all’ learners to thrive
without compromising who they are.
Students attending Tausala Night
So what does this look, sound and feel like in
our learning community? In the classroom, it is
expressed through wānanga – decision-making and
learning practices that are responsive to a range of
relevant contexts. It maintains, advances, and shares
knowledge and develops intellectual independence,
while assisting the use of knowledge regarding
ahuatanga Māori (Māori tradition) according to
tikanga Māori (Māori custom). This can be found in
our science classes where Y10 students learn about
genetics and how a cancer threat helped singer
Stan Walker identify how the mutated CDH1 gene
was expressed in his whakapapa. It can be seen
and heard in the karakia recited at the beginning
of Tāhuhu classes. It can be found in the cultural
narrative names gifted to us by Ngāi Tūāhuriri for the
rebuild: Te Aratai college.
Siva Somoa performed at our Festival of Nations
Our commitment to cultural responsiveness is also
addressed in our practice of ako and mahi ngātahi,
a philosophy of not only sharing the content, context
and responsibility of teaching and learning between
student and teacher but also in the wider community
with ongoing kōrero and consultation with whānau.
Perhaps the best example of this is our Wā Whakanui
conferencing we hold twice every year. These
conferences replace the traditional parent-teacher
interviews where whānau are given 10 minutes
intervals to digest a student’s progress by individual
teachers. Instead, Wā Whakanui is a presentation
delivered by our students to their whānau, sharing
and speaking to 3 pieces of their best work. These
are empowering, inspiring presentations where the
self-determination and success of our ākonga is
evident for their loved ones.
Our commitment to strong community bonds is
also ever-present in our Tausala Night where our
Pasifika Students and Polyfest group perform for
their family, friends and kaiārahi, and Te Roopu
Kapa Haka o Kimihia, the school’s kapa haka group.
This group is a combination of 5 kura from around
a new chapter
Students taking part in the He Puna Putaiao
programme
Christchurch including: Christchurch Girls High
School, Christchurch Boys High School, Cashmere
High School and Haeata Community Campus.
The success from these competitions is more than
placing on the day, it includes creating a sense of
whanaungatanga, personal success and a sense
of belonging and identity within the kaihaka for all
ākonga to be proud of who they are and their cultural
identities.
A school is not an isolated silo where we prepare
our students for the ‘real world’ outside. A school is
part of that real world, where the experiences and
expressions are as real and lived as anything that
flows in, through and beyond it. This is why we believe
that a successful kura, a school that delivers success
for its taonga, is engaged with the communities,
histories and identities of all that come to tread life
and experience into its hallowed halls.

Mouth-watering traditional puddings
There’s nothing
quite like a hearty
pudding to go with
the evening meal.
Try these two fruit
puddings before
warm summer
weather calls for cold
desserts
Fruit pudding
Serves 8
Ingredients
600gm dried fruit, place in
largest casserole dish with
¼ cup sherry
125gm butter, melt, then add
Finely grated rind of 1 large
orange
1 egg, beaten with a fork
2 cups flour sifted with one
teaspoon baking soda, one
teaspoon mixed spice and one
teaspoon ground cloves
½ cup brown sugar
Directions
Select a heatproof bowl (or loaf
tin) which will hold five cups and
will fit into crockpot.
Grease the bowl/tin with butter,
then line with microwave-proof
cling film.
Microwave fruit/sherry for five
minutes or until all the fruit is
hot, plump and shiny. The
liquid will soak into the fruit as it
cools.
Cool the fruit mixture to room
temperature before using it.
Turn the crockpot onto high
and fill with two cups hot water.
Add brown sugar to the flour/
baking soda/mixed spice/ground
cloves, then tip butter/orange
rind/egg into dry ingredients and
mix well.
Add the fruit mixture and mix
gently, but thoroughly.
Spoon mixture into prepared
bowl/tin and level off the top.
Cover with tin foil, folding the
edges down over the bowl.
Lower the bowl/tin into the
crockpot and put the lid on.
Cook on high to eight to 12
hours.
Take out while still warm as it
will be less likely to stick to the
container at this stage, then wrap
and cool completely.

1 cup plain flour, sifted with two
teaspoons cinnamon
2 eggs, lightly beaten
Directions
Microwave water/dates/butter/
