Bay Harbour News Wednesday October 27 2021 4 NEWS Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz CSO residency hands-on, immersive PERFORMANCE: Christchurch Symphony Orchestra’s week-long residency at Lyttelton Primary School ended with a concert at Lyttelton Arts Factory. THE CHRISTCHURCH Symphony Orchestra’s ‘Karawhiua! Let’s Play!’ school residency programme came to Lyttelton Primary School last week. Sponsored by the Lyttelton Port Company, a range of musicians from the orchestra – including oboe player Jenny Johnstone – embedded themselves in the school for five days. Over the course of the week, pupils got the chance to dive into a musical and creative experience, learning to play the drums, ukuleles and harps, as well as writing songs and raps. The music centred on the school’s current learning theme of Kaitiakitanga – being a guardian for Whakaraupō/ Lyttelton Harbour and the wider environment. The week culminated in a final concert at the Lyttelton Arts Factory on Friday. LPC chief executive Roger Gray said its sponsorship programme had a strong focus on supporting the youth in the harbour and the residency was a great example of that. “LPC is proud is to bring CSO to the harbour as music is an important part of education, with ‘Karawhiua! Let’s Play!’ providing a hands-on and immersive experience.” Gray said he hoped the pupils enjoyed the programme, learned something new – and that the week maybe even sparked a passion for music. The residency followed CSO visits to Governors Bay and Diamond Harbour Schools in March.

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Wednesday October 27 2021 Bay Harbour News NEWS 5 Smallest team member suits up for duty • By John Cosgrove THE SMALLEST member of the Christchurch South Community Patrol, which covers Ferrymead, has received his uniform. “Ed has been a wonderful addition to the team,” said patrol team leader Ken Bye. “We were looking for a different mascot and Ed fitted right in with our plans.” The large teddy bear is often seen on patrol with Ken and also appears at special occasions. “It’s all about having fun and reaching out to the community,” Bye said. But fun is far from normal when the patrol is on duty. “Our role is to support the police, the council and the community. We are there to observe, record and report,” he said. The Christchurch South Community Patrol is one of seven located in the metropolitan area. It is the largest, with more than 60 active members, covering an area stretching from Halswell to Ferrymead. Bye said they usually have two teams out, six days a week. Each patrol varies, as does their tasking, which can come from the police, the city council or themselves. “We all know the roads we are driving on, so we know when something is odd or out of place. Bye said those little, out-ofthe-ordinary things were often what the patrol reported into the police or the council. “It could be rubbish or graffiti – we use the snap app to inform the council about any we see – or it could be a tasking from the police to keep an eye out for this or that, to watch a particular intersection or observe any activity in a specific area. “But we are not police. Although we often have police recruits accompanying us, it gives them valuable comms experience working the radios and phones when reporting incidents,” Bye said. Some of those incidents can be bizarre or dangerous, like an individual doing push-ups in the middle of a busy intersection then fighting the traffic signs, or an intoxicated man smoking while leaning up against a petrol pump. ALERT: Ed, mascot of the Christchurch South Community Patrol, dresses for the job. PHOTO: JOHN COSGROVE Bye, a retired school teacher, said he is rostered on patrol duty for 12 hours a month. “We are all volunteers, some retirees, some young people and others with time on their hands, but we all want to serve our communities.” He said the police paid for their fuel costs, but the rest they had to fundraise themselves. “And that’s where Ed comes in, to make a connection with the public at events to help us fundraise and promote the service,” Bye said.
