MATT BUTTERFIELD and<br />
his daughter Lucy are doing<br />
their part to help make Banks<br />
Peninsula predator free.<br />
The St Albans pair have<br />
been volunteering for Pohatu<br />
Penguins and Predator Free<br />
Banks Peninsula in Akaroa,<br />
helping with an ongoing survey<br />
and setting and checking<br />
predator traps.<br />
Pohatu Penguins led a peninsula-wide<br />
penguin survey last<br />
summer, on that survey they<br />
found signs of predation in and<br />
around some areas of penguin<br />
nesting sites.<br />
“After the survey, we knew<br />
we had the ability to help and<br />
we’re doing it,” said Butterfield.<br />
www.starnews.co.nz<br />
Eliminating penguin<br />
predators a family affair<br />
“Lucy is the driving force<br />
behind it. It’s her gig, I just<br />
provide the boat and the<br />
labour.”<br />
Twelve-year-old Lucy’s passion<br />
for helping New Zealand’s<br />
native biodiversity stemmed<br />
from reading about the kākāpō<br />
on Stewart Island. While she<br />
has been able to sponsor a<br />
couple of kākāpō, Lucy went in<br />
CARING: Matt Butterfield and his<br />
daughter Lucy use a spare fishing float<br />
and kick their way in to the hard-toreach<br />
sea coves to set traps for predators<br />
to protect little blue penguins.<br />
search of something local her<br />
and her family could help out<br />
with.<br />
The Butterfields have a<br />
holiday home in Akaroa and<br />
have been going there for eight<br />
years.<br />
“Birdlife is one of the<br />
amazing things over there,”<br />
said Butterfield.<br />

Special<br />
asphalt<br />
to lower<br />
traffic<br />
noise laid<br />
• By Fiona Ellis<br />
THE INSTALLATION of low<br />
noise asphalt has begun on QE II<br />
Drive, the first stage of a project<br />
aiming to lower noise in the<br />
high-traffic area by five decibels.<br />
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport<br />
Agency expects the work, which<br />
started on Sunday, to be completed<br />
between the Innes Rd<br />
roundabout and the Christchurch<br />
Northern Corridor motorway<br />
bridge tomorrow.<br />
Resident Alan Johnson said he<br />
had noticed signs warning of lane<br />
closures, but had yet to notice any<br />
impact from the works.<br />
“The roar from the rest of the<br />
road system currently remains<br />
just the same,” Johnson said.<br />
Papanui-Innes Community<br />
Board member Ali Jones said<br />
there was a need for the asphalt<br />
because of noise problem created<br />
by the traffic.<br />
Waka Kotahi NZTA had<br />
planned to add the top coating<br />
of the low noise asphalt to the<br />
motorway in November, but<br />
ongoing supply chain disruptions<br />
have delayed some of the<br />
materials.<br />
NZTA director regional<br />
relationships, James Caygill, said<br />
at the time the delay was due to a<br />
hold-up in getting one of the key<br />
ingredients for the top coat.<br />

Fashion show a stylish fundraiser<br />
• By Fiona Ellis<br />
WITH ALMOST $200,000 still<br />
needed to upgrade its kitchen<br />
and bathroom, a community<br />
support organisation has decided<br />
to fundraise in style.<br />
A fashion show is set to be held<br />
by the Hei Hei Broomfield Community<br />
Development Trust, also<br />
known as “126 On The Corner”,<br />
on <strong>February</strong> 19.<br />
Community development<br />
worker Tracey Buunk said the<br />
upgrades were much-needed.<br />
Just three people were a crowd<br />
in the kitchen, and there was no<br />
running hot water.<br />
In spite of this, it got plenty of<br />
use.<br />
“We have a cooking group<br />
every Monday that’s been going<br />
for 22 years.<br />
“We also have a monthly<br />
community lunch . . . We have<br />
anything from 60 to 120 people”<br />
Food preparation took place in<br />
the main hall as the kitchen was<br />
“far too small”.<br />
Doing dishes was done by<br />
transferring water from a wallmounted<br />
boiler to the sink using<br />
a teapot.<br />
The toilets also did not have<br />
running hot water, and an accessible<br />
toilet for those with disabilities<br />
was also needed.<br />
The overhaul would have a<br />
$285,000 price tag, Buunk said.<br />
“The kitchen and toilets<br />
[need] to be demolished, a new<br />
READY-TO-WEAR: Community development worker Tracey Buunk with the clothes that<br />
will be on show at 126 On The Corner’s upcoming fundraiser.<br />
entranceway put in, the kitchen<br />
and toilets will be rebuilt, but a<br />
lot bigger.”<br />
The trust had applied for New<br />
Zealand Lotteries Commission<br />
funding, but was uncertain if<br />
this would be granted.<br />
However, the fashion show was<br />
a fun new way to raise money.<br />
“We’ve never done anything<br />
like it before,” Buunk said.<br />
“There’s a lot of excitement in<br />
the area about it.”<br />
Volunteers were running the<br />
fashion show, with outfits put<br />
together by volunteer leader<br />
Sharon Turner.<br />
“At the moment she’s getting<br />
the models to try on different<br />
outfits. There’s going to be four<br />
different categories,” Buunk said.<br />
A high tea and prizes were also<br />
part of the event.<br />
Clothes worn by the models<br />
would all be for sale afterwards<br />
for $5 or less per piece.<br />
“All the money from the<br />
clothing sales goes towards the<br />
new kitchen and toilets, as does<br />
the money from the ticket sales.”<br />
Due to Covid-19 restrictions,<br />
only 50 tickets would be sold to<br />
the public. Planning was going<br />
well, Buunk said.<br />
“We’re just waiting for the red<br />
carpet to arrive.”<br />
In Brief<br />
SKATE PARK UPGRADE<br />
A $392,000 project to upgrade<br />
the Bishopdale Skate Park is now<br />
set to take place in April, rather<br />
than Feburary. Head of Parks<br />
Andrew Rutledge said the project<br />
would be delivered in conjunction<br />
with St Albans Skate Park by<br />
the same contractor. Work would<br />
first first be completed at the St<br />
Albans site as it was more susceptible<br />
to wet conditions, whereas<br />
the Bishopdale site was not, Rutledge<br />
said. Work is set to begin at<br />
the St Albans site next week.<br />
TRUST GRANTS<br />
Three grants have been made<br />
in the Nor’West <strong>News</strong> area by<br />
the New Zealand Community<br />
Trust as part of its latest round of<br />
funding in the Canterbury area<br />
totalling $516,173. The Elmwood<br />
Tennis Club is set to recieve<br />
$30,000 towards a bathroom<br />
refurbishment. The Belfast Sports<br />
and Community Centre is set to<br />
recieve $7610 for sports and gym<br />
equipment, and the St Albans<br />
Tennis Club has been granted<br />
$1200 towards a contractor.<br />
LESSONS FOR STUDENTS<br />
Twenty-nine student leaders<br />
from Shirley Boys’ High School<br />
visited the New Brighton<br />
Community Gardens to learn<br />
more about a sustainable lifestyle.<br />
The students also helped out with<br />
installing a cabin for a blind and<br />
deaf sculptor.<br />

Board meetings well attended<br />
• By Fiona Ellis<br />
LOCAL representatives in the<br />
Nor’West <strong>News</strong> area attended a<br />
high percentage of community<br />
board meetings last year.<br />
City council data has<br />
shown members of the<br />
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />
Community Board attended<br />
the majority of board<br />
meetings and city council<br />
staff information sessions or<br />
briefings.<br />
Chairwoman Bridget<br />
Williams said she was proud of<br />
the board attendance levels.<br />
“Those are fairly healthy<br />
statistics,” she said.<br />
Board members missed a<br />
maximum of four meetings and<br />
nine briefings<br />
Attendance was sometimes<br />
a balancing act as members<br />
juggled work and family<br />
commitments, and the<br />
Covid-19 pandemic posed an<br />
ongoing challenge, Williams<br />
said.<br />
“There is life outside the<br />
community board and<br />
given the challenging<br />
circumstances I would say<br />
we’ve done well.”<br />
Papanui-Innes Community<br />
Board members also had high<br />
attendance levels last year.<br />
Board members missed a<br />
maximum of just two meetings<br />
and four briefings.<br />
Bridget Williams <br />
Board chairwoman Emma<br />
Norrish said she was happy with<br />
the turnout.<br />
Members attended most<br />
meetings and briefings,<br />
and when they did not it was<br />
Emma Norrish<br />
for a legitimate reason, she<br />
said.<br />
The number of meetings<br />
or briefings a board member<br />
is eligible to attend may vary<br />

Work started<br />
after epoxy<br />
resin arrived<br />
•From page 1<br />
Caygill said there was delay<br />
getting the epoxy resin shipped<br />
from the United States.<br />
More low noise asphalt will be<br />

other road work, like line marking,<br />
will still be happening in this<br />
area during the day please drive<br />
to the posted speeds and take<br />
extra care driving in this area.<br />
All asphalt work is weather and<br />
temperature dependent, dates for<br />
this work may take longer and<br />

Penguin nesting sites decimated<br />
• From page 1<br />
“We just feel that if we don’t<br />
do something then there won’t<br />
be penguins in the harbour<br />
anymore.”<br />
Lucy got in contact with<br />
Pohatu Penguins co-owner<br />
Averil Parthonnaud and her<br />
husband Kevin and she has<br />
been helping them out where<br />
she can.<br />
“They’re the real heroes,”<br />
said Butterfield.<br />
In October 2020, a group of<br />
community leaders and over<br />
60 volunteers surveyed Banks<br />
Peninsula to identify penguin<br />
numbers, 20 years after the<br />
first significant peninsula-wide<br />
survey was performed.<br />
The Horomaka Kororā<br />
Survey was started in 2020<br />
with the purpose being<br />
to estimate the current<br />
population size of little<br />
penguins on Banks Peninsula.<br />
Butterfield and Lucy helped<br />
out when the survey resumed<br />
at the end of last year.<br />
“We found two quite large<br />
nesting sites inside the Akaroa<br />
Harbour that were just getting<br />
decimated by stoats,” said<br />
Butterfield.<br />
Since then, he and Lucy have<br />
set about 16 traps in the two<br />
big nesting spots.<br />
“Matt was installing BT200<br />
traps in and around the sea<br />
coves within the Akaroa<br />
Harbour. The BT200 trap is a<br />
humane kill-trap designed for<br />
stoats,” said PFBP operations<br />
manager Tim Sjoberg.<br />
With his teenage sons Tom<br />
and Charlie helping out,<br />
Butterfield uses his boat to get<br />
to the more difficult-to-reach<br />
sea coves then he and Lucy<br />
swim in.<br />
“We’ve got a spare<br />
fishing float, we hang on<br />
the back of that and kick<br />
ourselves in, one of my sons<br />
will sit on the boat while<br />
SUCCESS: Lucy<br />
Butterfield checking traps<br />
that have been set at<br />
Akaroa Harbour.<br />
we swim 20m to the shore,”<br />
Butterfield said.<br />
An estimated 68,000<br />
native birds are killed in New<br />
Zealand by introduced pests<br />
every night, and 25 million<br />
killed every year, PFBP website<br />
states.<br />
“It is the collective mahi,<br />
like Matt’s [and Lucy’s], that<br />
will really make a difference<br />
for our taonga species,” PFBP<br />
communications manager<br />
Vanessa Mander said.<br />
“We are buoyed by the<br />
effort, passion and<br />
commitment shown by our<br />
community,” she said.<br />
Anyone can help out,<br />
whether that’s with backyard<br />
trapping, volunteering with<br />
local trapping group or<br />
starting a trap line.<br />

Mother-son duo takes on Bugsy Malone<br />
Teenager Oliver Bol<br />
is making a name<br />
for himself in theatre,<br />
but he is aiming for<br />
the bright lights of<br />
Hollywood. Emily<br />
Moorhouse reports<br />
OLIVER WAS introduced to<br />
performance at the age of three,<br />
and started off playing small<br />
parts and extras in children’s<br />
plays. Since then, he has<br />
performed in a variety of roles.<br />
Now, at 18, he recently took<br />
on the lead role of Bugsy in Elmwood<br />
Players sold-out musical<br />
Bugsy Malone – with the help<br />
of his mother Franc Bol, who<br />
directed the show.<br />
Oliver’s first real memory of<br />
being on stage was at seven, playing<br />
an extra in Rumpelstiltskin<br />
and quickly falling in love with<br />
the rush of performing.<br />
Having a mum that worked<br />
for Imagine Youth Theatre saw<br />
Oliver’s interest in theatre and<br />
performance grow. He was always<br />
auditioning for school plays<br />
and enrolling in drama classes.<br />
Last year he landed a spot in<br />
the Court Theatre Youth Company,<br />
something he described as<br />
an incredible and very fulfilling<br />
experience.<br />
“There’s something about the<br />
rush at the end [of a show] when<br />
the whole audience is clapping<br />
and cheering and it just feels<br />
good,” he said. “Like you’ve just<br />
entertained all of these people<br />
and you’ve made so many people<br />
smile or cry depending on what<br />
show you’re in, I guess.”<br />
Oliver had landed big roles<br />
before, such as Mickey from<br />
Blood Brothers, but admitted<br />
he was “kind of in shock” upon<br />
finding out he would play the<br />
lead role Bugsy Malone.<br />
“At first I didn’t fully believe it<br />
and then it properly hit me and<br />
I was like, oh wait, the show is<br />
called Bugsy Malone and that’s<br />
me,” he said. “It’s about me,<br />
that’s cool.”<br />
Although the role of Bugsy<br />
has been stressful and has meant<br />
Oliver hasn’t had a big holiday<br />
break, he said he wouldn’t have<br />
had it any other way.<br />
“There’s something I weirdly<br />
enjoy about the stress of needing<br />
to know all your lines and<br />
needing to be in the right spot<br />
for going on stage and getting<br />
into costume fast and all that,”<br />
he said. “There’s just something<br />
about the rush and the energy.”<br />
Oliver said working alongside<br />
his mum Franc, who directed<br />
the show, has been easy as she<br />
understands the struggles and<br />
stresses show biz can present.<br />
“I think because she’s in the<br />
same boat career-wise as me I<br />
guess she just understands it better,”<br />
he said. “I’ve always found it<br />
easy to work with her.”<br />
As for the cast, Oliver said he<br />
thinks they’ve done an amazing<br />
job and the acting, signing and<br />
dancing was “really good.”<br />
“I’ve made friends who I love<br />
to bits,” he said. “They’re all great<br />
people.”<br />
Franc said while directing the<br />
show has been a lot of fun and<br />
rewarding, the planning did present<br />
some challenges early on.<br />
Being set in the 1920s, she<br />
described the show as having<br />
some “outdated” aspects and was<br />
particularly wary of the public<br />
shootings, in spite of being with<br />
marshmallow guns.<br />
“Even if it’s with cream pies<br />
and marshmallow guns it still<br />
felt kind of wrong,” she said.<br />
After some thinking, Franc<br />
tweaked the script and designed<br />
the show to be kids playing the<br />
game of Bugsy Malone so when<br />
characters got shot they were<br />
‘out’ rather than being killed.<br />
“It still goes into the 1920s<br />
gangster but it’s now got this<br />
underlying story of kids playing<br />
a game, which has lent us to having<br />
so much fun with it.”<br />
Franc was pleased to see how<br />
involved the kids’ parents got<br />
with the show, from helping<br />
design the set to participating in<br />
weekend workshops leading up<br />
to opening night.<br />
“The support of everyone<br />
involved just makes it so achievable,”<br />
she said. “Because the<br />
community got on board I don’t<br />
think it was as stressful as it<br />
could’ve been.”<br />
While Franc said she was<br />
proud of Oliver for getting the<br />
lead role, she admitted it was<br />
“slightly awkward” in the auditions<br />
process.<br />
She was thankful that the casting<br />
panel had other directors and<br />
managers, and said she even left<br />
the room during the discussion<br />
about casting Oliver as Bugsy.<br />
“I’m so very proud as both a<br />
mum and a director,” she said.<br />
“It’s a joy to work with him, he’s<br />
very invested in the show and<br />
has been a great help in many<br />
other respects as well.”<br />
The show faced a rocky start<br />
with Covid and lockdowns<br />
postponing opening night from<br />
October to January, resulting in<br />
losing some cast members along<br />
the way.<br />
“It’s the kind of show that you<br />
can’t really rehearse through<br />
Skype,” she said. “That was<br />
pretty nerve-racking.”<br />
However, Franc was relieved<br />
to be able to go ahead with the<br />
show under the red traffic<br />
light system.<br />
In the end, all the stress and<br />
ACTOR: Oliver Bol has been involved in theatre since he<br />
was three-years-old.<br />
LEAD ROLE: Oliver Bol played Bugsy Malone in the soldout<br />
show of the same name, put on by Elmwood Players.<br />
He said it took a while to sink in that the show was about<br />
his character. Aashma Goldfarb (above right) played<br />
Tallulah.<br />
hard work paid off when Franc<br />
watched the kids take their place<br />
on stage, describing the show as<br />
seeing pieces of the puzzle come<br />
together.<br />
“The look at the reaction of<br />
their audience just made it all<br />
worthwhile,” she said. “Hearing<br />
them laugh and clap and cheer<br />
and even cry . . . Seeing all of that<br />
come together was an absolute<br />
highlight.”<br />
Franc said while she loved<br />
hearing audience feedback, her<br />
favourite was from dads who had<br />
been “dragged along” to watch a<br />
kids show.<br />
“They’ve come up afterwards<br />
going ‘oh I was expecting a<br />
kids show, I didn’t realise it was<br />
going to so be professional and<br />
so much fun to watch’. In some<br />
ways it’s better feedback than official<br />
reviews,” Franc said.<br />
While the cast was made up<br />
entirely of children and young<br />
people, Franc was impressed<br />
with how well each member<br />
handled rehearsals and the<br />
energy they brought to the stage,<br />
even when performing twice<br />
a day.<br />
“They were exhausted behind<br />
the scenes but the moment they<br />
were on stage [they] 100 per cent<br />
gave it their all,” she said. “I take<br />
my hat off to them, they were<br />
more than professional.”<br />
The sold-out show had its last<br />
performance over the weekend,<br />
leaving the cast with time to<br />
relax after months of hard<br />
work.<br />
Looking ahead, Oliver plans<br />
to continue to pursuing performance<br />
and even talked about<br />
wanting to act in films, but said<br />
it was important to stay true to<br />
yourself.<br />
“Even though acting is usually<br />
about trying to be someone else<br />
if you’re trying to audition, or<br />
meeting people if you’re in some<br />
sort of new course or class, I<br />
think it’s better to be yourself,”<br />
he said.<br />
“There will always be someone<br />
who has done less or someone<br />
who has done more than you,<br />
and there will always be someone<br />
out there who will absolutely<br />
love you and the way that you<br />
work and the way that you talk<br />
and speak and move, or they’ll<br />
see a way to help you grow your<br />
abilities more.”<br />
THAT’S A WRAP: Oliver’s mum, director Franc Bol, said she<br />
had a lot of fun working with the young cast.
