Looking out for neighbours<br />

is all in a day’s work for Tilaga<br />

• By John Cosgrove<br />

IN SPITE OF suffering from a<br />

recent fall Tilaga Sethupathy-Walsh<br />

still goes out whenever she can to<br />

help her neighbours.<br />

For her dedication and her passion<br />

for gardening, she was awarded<br />

the Ōtautahi Community Housing<br />

Trust housing hero award for <strong>2021</strong>.<br />

Her immediate reaction when<br />

named the overall winner of the<br />

award was a quiet thank you.<br />

“But I’m not sure what I’ve done<br />

to deserve this,” she added.<br />

The very modest Tilaga has been<br />

a tenant of the Sydenham-based<br />

council housing community for 22<br />

years and said she tries to do the<br />

best she can.<br />

“For those who cannot get out<br />

and work in their gardens, I step in<br />

and help out where I can.<br />

“I want to do all I can as we are<br />

a very close community here, we<br />

know everyone, and gardening is<br />

my passion,” she said.<br />

From among the 40 nominations<br />

for the annual housing hero award,<br />

her story of always being there to<br />

help anyone and everyone in her<br />

OCHT tenants unit caught the eye<br />

of the judges.<br />

Her nomination, endorsed by her<br />

neighbours, talked about her never<br />

asking questions and never asking<br />

for anything in return.<br />

It said Tilaga was just an all round<br />

wonderful tenant and well respected<br />

by all as she helped others by<br />

tending others’ gardens and doing<br />

what she could to make her community<br />

a colourful and comfortable<br />

place to live.<br />

50-year gathering for former post office workers<br />

• By John Cosgrove<br />

IT GOES LIKE THIS: Former post office investigative officers Rod Cameron (left) and Wayne Butterworth look over one of<br />

the franking machines recovered from the central post office building in Cathedral Square. On a commemorative plate,<br />

former post office admin staff from the typing pool – Colleen Eathorne of Redwood (left) and Ann Matheson of Waimairi<br />

Beach – spot the windows they used to look out of.<br />

PHOTOS: JOHN COSGROVE ​<br />

STORIES OF adventures and<br />

shenanigans had in the typing<br />

pool or in the mail rooms<br />

were recounted as 50 former<br />

employees of the Post Office met<br />

for the first time in 50 years.<br />

The former administration<br />

staff members had all worked at<br />

some stage of their careers in the<br />

old Christchurch chief post office<br />

in the Cathedral Square.<br />

Chief postmasters office reunion<br />

committee chairman Rod<br />

Cameron of Beckenham, said it<br />

was a good time to reminisce.<br />

Cameron, a former post<br />

investigations officer, said that<br />

over the past year a group of<br />

ex-employees had been working<br />

online organising the staff reunion<br />

held at the Cashmere Club<br />

on Saturday.<br />

“It has been quite difficult<br />

trying to track down all these<br />

people with who we previously<br />

worked with, but not seen for<br />

some 50 years.<br />

“We were fortunate however<br />

in tracing and contacting a total<br />

116 personal and managed to<br />

get 50 people to come along to<br />

the reunion.<br />

“Many of those interested<br />

in attending now live overseas<br />

and were really keen to come<br />

but unfortunately were unable,”<br />

Cameron said.<br />

Cameron started in 1961 as a<br />

telegram boy before eventually<br />

becoming an investigating officer<br />

chasing up stolen mail or<br />

fraud scams.<br />

“Much of what we got up to on<br />

the job we can’t tell anyone about<br />

as people today would think<br />

we’re mean or they wouldn’t get<br />

the joke but we got away with it<br />

in those days,” Cameron said.<br />

His funniest memory was<br />

discovering marijuana growing<br />

implements and seeds sent from<br />

overseas.<br />

“We called the police who<br />

followed the parcel to its destination<br />

in a rural community, there<br />

they discovered a massive growing<br />

operation.<br />

Fellow postal investigator<br />

Wayne Butterworth of Sreydon<br />

recalls starting in 1965 as a toll<br />

operator having to juggle calls<br />

because they only had 40 lines to<br />

Wellington to work with.<br />

“Then one day I was looking<br />

out of a window overlooking<br />

the square when I saw a woman<br />

learner driver crash into the only<br />

phone box we had in the square.”<br />

Butterworth said: “ I was on 111<br />

calls that day and had everyone<br />

calling was to report it, all at the<br />

same time.”<br />

Ann Matheson of Waimari<br />

Beach, was a typist during the<br />

late 60s early 70s and recalled<br />

the day a younger woman came<br />

to work in a very, very short<br />

mini skirt, “She was sent home<br />

to change into something more<br />

appropriate so she returned in<br />

a maxi dress just to annoy the<br />

supervisor,” she said.<br />

Matheson recalls in 1970 being<br />

paid $1195 per annum for their<br />

work which came out to $39 per<br />

week.<br />

Fellow typist pool member<br />

Colleen Eathorne of Redwood,<br />

said she remembers they had<br />

a great social life there and<br />

many life-long relationships or<br />

friendships were made there.<br />

achieving the result today that exceeded our expectations. The detail and<br />

professionalism has been on point. Staging, photography, the video along<br />

with the marketing campaign all leading to a great property to present to<br />

visits leading to today’s outstanding auction result. Quiet night tonight but<br />

sure there will be a few celebratory drinks later in the week.<br />

Trick or treat: Witches, ghouls, ghosts<br />

• By John Cosgrove<br />

THERE WERE more treats than<br />

tricks at the Hoon Hay Halloween<br />

kids night on Sunday as hundreds<br />

of children gathered in small<br />

groups and walked the streets in<br />

search of candy.<br />

Back for a second year in a<br />

row, the Hoon Hay Community<br />

Association chairwoman Jenny<br />

Goodman said the group was<br />

pleased with the turnout for the<br />

event they hosted at the Hoon<br />

Hay Community Centre.<br />

“Due to Covid-19, we primarily<br />

run this event as a stop on<br />

children’s trick or treating route<br />

around the streets of Hoon Hay,”<br />

she said.<br />

Association member Kaitlyn<br />

White said the witches, goblins,<br />

fairies, spacemen, ghouls and<br />

ghosts started appearing for their<br />

lollies and games an hour before<br />

the event was due to start.<br />

“It was great to see them all<br />

walking along with their mums<br />

and dads. We put on lots of simple<br />

games for them to play, including<br />

ten pin bowling using toilet rolls<br />

as pins and large-scale Jenga plus<br />

indoor games,” White said.<br />

She added they had packed 240<br />

packets of lollies for distribution,<br />

which all went very quickly.<br />

“It was busier than last year and<br />

it was good to see so many parents<br />

had also dressed up and got into<br />

the spirit of it all,” White said.<br />

SCARY FUN: Best friends Ariella Machiso 5, (left) and Zahara<br />

Cording, 6, came dressed as witches and fairies.<br />

Dave Grohl - The Storyteller<br />

tales of life and music - by dave Grohl<br />

So, I’ve written a book. I have decided to write these stories just as I have<br />

always done, in my own hand. This has given me a place to shed a little<br />

light on what it’s like to be a kid from Springfield, Virginia, walking through<br />

life while living out the crazy dreams I had as young musician. From hitting<br />

the road with Scream at 18 years old, to my time in Nirvana and the Foo<br />

Fighters , jamming with Iggy Pop or playing at the Academy Awards or<br />

dancing with AC/DC and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, drumming for<br />

Tom Petty or meeting Sir Paul McCartney at Royal Albert Hall, bedtime stories<br />

with Joan Jett or a chance meeting with Little Richard , to flying halfway<br />

around the world for one epic night with my daughters...the list goes on. I<br />

look forward to focusing the lens through which I see these memories a little<br />

sharper for you with much excitement.<br />

of the oldest forms of life is particularly relevant in our age of climate concern.<br />

Immerse yourself in the world of trees with a tree a day - illuminating tree<br />

folklore, botany, tree uses, beauty and history. From the strength of Alder<br />

trees (they can become as strong as stone, when old, and the cities of<br />

Amsterdam and Venice are held up by Alder pillars) to the biology behind<br />

the autumn colours of New England. From folkloric medicines in tree sap to<br />

villagers dancing inside a huge oak tree, From Shakespeare’s Birnam Wood<br />

to eating Eucalyptus leaves. This book is a wonder for all nature lovers and<br />

tree enthusiasts who can dip into a fascinating and beautiful book with a tree<br />

every day. Wonderfully illustrated with award-winning photography, art, and<br />

illustration.<br />

The students main teacher<br />

Matt Benassi said: “This year<br />

the teams at Cashmere have<br />

exemplified what it means to be<br />

an entrepreneur.<br />

“It has been a challenging year,<br />

but that didn’t get in the way of<br />

any of the student businesses.”<br />

He said all of them aimed to<br />

help solve a problem, whether it<br />

be educating students about nutrition<br />

or dangerous situations<br />

or solving a sustainability issue.<br />

“They have all challenged<br />

themselves and they are proud<br />

to be part of the businesses they<br />

have started,” he said.<br />

of Huntsbury<br />

celebrated<br />

• By John Cosgrove<br />

A YEAR after the Huntsbury<br />

centenary celebrations were<br />

held, the event organisers will<br />

be conducting a<br />

plaque unveiling<br />

this weekend to<br />

commemorate<br />

the anniversary<br />

of the settlement<br />

of Huntsbury.<br />

Organising<br />

David<br />

Brayton<br />

committee<br />

member David<br />

Brayton said<br />

he had found<br />

a suitable rock after wandering<br />

around the hills for about six<br />

months looking for one.<br />

“It took about six people to<br />

move it into place outside the<br />

Huntsbury community centre<br />

and then we had a plaque<br />

designed and made,” he said.<br />

Brayton said the committee<br />

has asked Spreydon-Cashmere<br />

Community Board chairwoman<br />

Karolin Potter to unveil the<br />

plaque during a neighbourhood<br />

gathering at the Huntsbury<br />

IN PLACE: A plaque<br />

to commemorate the<br />

settlement of Huntsbury will<br />

be unveiled this Saturday.<br />

community centre this Saturday<br />

night at 7.30pm.<br />

He said residents on the hill<br />

combined to “make all this<br />

happen” and the idea for the<br />

plaque came to him after the city<br />

council had allowed him access<br />

to a large stack of historical data<br />

on the suburb.<br />

to check us out because they had<br />

seen the ad!!! Oh yes they did buy<br />

some goodies!!<br />
