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

Holy moly look at our<br />
power bill this month<br />
A spike in the cost of your power bill can<br />
be more than just a wee shock. It’s one<br />
tell tale sign that your heat pump may<br />
not be working at peak efficiency. And<br />
while heat pumps are a cost effective<br />
form of heating and it may seem to be<br />
running normally, one of the biggest<br />
signs it isn’t will be in your power bill.<br />
And this is why:<br />
If your heat pump is overworking, its<br />
diminished heating capacity will raise Photo credit to Fazakerley Patterson Photography<br />
energy use as your pump struggles<br />
to maintain the desired room temperature. The reason could be a number<br />
of things; blocked filters and / or coils, a compromised compressor or a<br />
refrigerant leak. Like any appliance, regular maintenance of your heat pump<br />
will mean it will run more efficiently and save you money. All of these things<br />
will be assessed in a regular service by our trained technicians.<br />
The power is all yours and the best thing you can do to extend the life and<br />
efficiency of your heat pump is to have it professionally serviced at least<br />
once a year. Our technicians do a comprehensive examination of your whole<br />
system, carry out a routine maintenance service and advise you if anything<br />
might need further repair.<br />
Book your Premium Heat Pump Clean & Service for just $75 by contacting<br />

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

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

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

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

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

Church, of Robinsons Bay, has<br />
been co-ordinating the event<br />
since 2017.<br />
“For me, one of the most<br />
rewarding parts of this job is<br />
all of the amazing people I have<br />
got to meet along the way. It is<br />
a great chance to showcase our<br />
beautiful area.”<br />

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

Mouth-watering traditional puddings<br />
There’s nothing<br />
quite like a hearty<br />
pudding to go with<br />
the evening meal.<br />
Try these two fruit<br />
puddings before<br />
warm summer<br />
weather calls for cold<br />
desserts<br />
Fruit pudding<br />
Serves 8<br />
Ingredients<br />
600gm dried fruit, place in<br />
largest casserole dish with<br />
¼ cup sherry<br />
125gm butter, melt, then add<br />
Finely grated rind of 1 large<br />
orange<br />
1 egg, beaten with a fork<br />
2 cups flour sifted with one<br />
teaspoon baking soda, one<br />
teaspoon mixed spice and one<br />
teaspoon ground cloves<br />
½ cup brown sugar<br />
Directions<br />
Select a heatproof bowl (or loaf<br />
tin) which will hold five cups and<br />
will fit into crockpot.<br />
Grease the bowl/tin with butter,<br />
then line with microwave-proof<br />
cling film.<br />
Microwave fruit/sherry for five<br />
minutes or until all the fruit is<br />
hot, plump and shiny. The<br />
liquid will soak into the fruit as it<br />
cools.<br />
Cool the fruit mixture to room<br />
temperature before using it.<br />
Turn the crockpot onto high<br />
and fill with two cups hot water.<br />
Add brown sugar to the flour/<br />
baking soda/mixed spice/ground<br />
cloves, then tip butter/orange<br />
rind/egg into dry ingredients and<br />
mix well.<br />
Add the fruit mixture and mix<br />
gently, but thoroughly.<br />
Spoon mixture into prepared<br />
bowl/tin and level off the top.<br />
Cover with tin foil, folding the<br />
edges down over the bowl.<br />
Lower the bowl/tin into the<br />
crockpot and put the lid on.<br />
Cook on high to eight to 12<br />
hours.<br />
Take out while still warm as it<br />
will be less likely to stick to the<br />
container at this stage, then wrap<br />
and cool completely.<br />
Serve with brandy sauce,<br />
custard and/or whipped cream.<br />
Caramel sticky date<br />
pudding<br />
Serves 8<br />
Ingredients<br />
RICH:<br />
Dried fruit<br />
is a sweet<br />
ingredient<br />
to use in a<br />
pudding and<br />
the taste is<br />
divine.<br />
1 cup water, place in largest<br />
casserole dish with<br />
400gm pitted dates, chopped<br />
roughly<br />
150gm butter<br />
2 tablespoons golden syrup<br />
2 tablespoons sugar<br />
1 teaspoon baking soda<br />
1 cup plain flour, sifted with two<br />
teaspoons cinnamon<br />
2 eggs, lightly beaten<br />
Directions<br />
Microwave water/dates/butter/<br />
golden syrup/sugar for 5min, stir,<br />
zap for another 5min, stir (liquid<br />
needs to have reduced right<br />
down, leaving dates just moist).<br />
Remove from microwave and<br />
leave to cool for 15min, while still<br />
warm add baking soda to the date<br />
mixture and stir to combine, then<br />
add flour/cinnamon and the eggs,<br />
stirring until everything is evenly<br />
combined.<br />
Pour into small springform pan<br />
that has been well greased and<br />
lined with baking paper, and bake<br />
at 180 deg C for 50min.<br />
While it is baking, make<br />
caramel sauce, as follows:<br />
½ cup brown sugar, place in<br />
largest casserole dish with<br />
½ cup golden syrup<br />
50gm butter<br />
1 cup cream<br />
1 teaspoon vanilla essence<br />
Microwave for a minute at a<br />
time until all the ingredients have<br />
dissolved, stirring in-between.<br />
Keep heating and stirring until<br />
sauce turns a golden caramel<br />
colour. Pour over the pudding.<br />
Serve with ice cream.<br />
