Lucky dog pulled from<br />

family’s burning bach<br />

• By Chris Barclay<br />

WHEN GIRL, a six-year-old<br />

border collie huntaway cross,<br />

was cradled unresponsive from a<br />

burning bach, firefighters feared<br />

the worst.<br />

Fortunately once the flames<br />

were extinguished, they were able<br />

to suggest Kate Robinson consider<br />

another appropriate descriptor<br />

for her beloved pet.<br />

“They said I should call her<br />

‘Lucky’,” she said, while<br />

recounting Girl’s gradual<br />

recovery from severe smoke<br />

inhalation. Volunteers<br />

responding to the call at<br />

Robinsons <strong>Bay</strong>, three days after<br />

Christmas, used breathing<br />

apparatus to revive Girl, who<br />

continued along the road to full<br />

recovery in Fendalton.<br />

A neighbour alerted the<br />

Akaroa Volunteer Fire Brigade<br />

and Robinson’s father Lee,<br />

who along with other family<br />

members, noticed smoke rising<br />

above the jetty while enjoying<br />

a late afternoon barbecue while<br />

boating on the bay.<br />

firefighters feeling<br />

their way through<br />

the smoke-filled<br />

room.<br />

Parents<br />

concerned<br />

over way<br />

police<br />

handled<br />

girl’s case<br />

• By Dylan Smits<br />

THE PARENTS of a young<br />

girl who said a stranger tried to<br />

pick her up as she walked home<br />

from school have laid a complaint<br />

over the way police handled the<br />

case.<br />

Police have closed the<br />

investigation, saying their inquiries<br />

yielded no leads.<br />

But the parents are concerned<br />

about the investigation and<br />

have laid a complaint with the<br />

Independent Police Conduct<br />

Authority.<br />

“I also would like to know what<br />

they’ve actually done in relation to<br />

this investigation,” the girl’s father<br />

told <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News.<br />

A man allegedly approached<br />

the 8-year-old outside Lyttelton<br />

Primary School on December 12,<br />

saying her parents had told him to<br />

pick her up.<br />

She ran home when the stranger<br />

did not know a password she and<br />

her parents had created should<br />

anyone she didn’t know approach<br />

her.<br />

POLICE SEARCH and Rescue<br />

officers have been training to<br />

help fill a skills gap in body and<br />

victim recovery from marine<br />

environments.<br />

Police SAR, Coastguard New<br />

Zealand, and Taylors Mistake<br />

and Sumner surf lifesaving clubs<br />

have been working together<br />

to bring their expertise to the<br />

training sessions.<br />

A second training was held<br />

in December to skill up seven<br />

officers. The first was held in<br />

October.<br />

SAR squad member Constable<br />

Tom Denman said there is a<br />

need for more search and rescue<br />

officers with experience in marine<br />

operations.<br />

“We need police SAR<br />

members who understand DVI<br />

(disaster victim identification)<br />

and SAR operational processes,<br />

but we also need people with<br />

experience and skill operating<br />

in this type of unique marine<br />

environment.”<br />

A surf lifeguard himself,<br />

Denman identified the missing<br />

piece of the puzzle.<br />

“Surf Life Saving New<br />

Zealand are experts in the<br />

inshore rescue space,” said<br />

Denman.<br />

Police SAR members who<br />

are already surf lifesaving club<br />

members were selected for the<br />

training sessions due to their<br />

pre-existing skills. The advanced<br />

training is needed for victim<br />

recovery at sea.<br />

“It’s often in choppy and<br />

surging seas and requires<br />

and Constable Tom Denman (third from left) with Police SAR and surf lifesavers on a<br />

training day. ​Trainees worked with coastguard members to enter a hard-to-reach area.<br />

navigation and entry from the<br />

water onto the rocky base of the<br />

cliffs. It can be dangerous and<br />

not everyone is confident in that<br />

environment,” said Denman.<br />

Taylors Mistake Surf Life<br />

Saving Club patrol manager<br />

Patrice de Beer said the trainings<br />

have been successful so far.<br />

“Our role is to teach them how<br />

to interpret what the surf does<br />

and what areas of rocks<br />

are safe,” he said.<br />

The training also aims to<br />

provide more capable body<br />

recovery police, so surf lifesaving<br />

club members do not need to<br />

recover bodies themselves.<br />

“If the police have specialised<br />

people, then they can deal with<br />

that. We don’t want to expose<br />

surf lifesaving members to<br />

unnecessary trauma.”<br />

De Beer said more training<br />

sessions in the coming months<br />

are likely.<br />

In Brief<br />

ROADSIDE FIRE CAUSED<br />

BY BURNT-OUT CAR<br />

A grass fire was ignited by a<br />

burnt-out car on Sunday about<br />

halfway between Purau and<br />

Port Levy. Two fire trucks from<br />

Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> responded,<br />

with firefighters working for four<br />

hours from about 6am to douse<br />

the 200m trail of flames along the<br />

roadside. Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> chief<br />

fire officer Frank Watson said the<br />

fire could have been out of control<br />

if fire crews had arrived later. The<br />

car was empty when firefighters<br />

arrived.<br />

SWIMMERS CAUGHT IN RIP<br />

A group of five swimmers were<br />

rescued from a rip near Cave<br />

Rock on Thursday. Sumner<br />

surf lifesavers rushed out on<br />

paddleboards and an inflatable<br />

rescue boat about 8pm to help<br />

guide the group of friends in<br />

their 20s back to shore. Two<br />

people in the group were<br />

significantly at risk and had to be<br />

dragged ashore.<br />

MEMORIAL FOR CHURCH<br />

A memorial has been created to<br />

remember one of Lyttelton’s oldest<br />

churches, which was demolished<br />

after the earthquakes. St Joseph<br />

the Worker Church provided a<br />

place of worship and education<br />

for the port’s catholic community<br />

for 146 years. The memorial site<br />

can be found at 18 Winchester St,<br />

adjacent to the steps which led up<br />

to the church.<br />

Circus troupe reunites for Berlin Burlesque<br />

• Tickets<br />

cost<br />

$40-60<br />

and are<br />

available<br />

at laf.co.nz<br />

• By Dylan Smits<br />

A CIRCUS theatre company has<br />

reunited for the first time since<br />

the earthquakes to deliver an<br />

ambitious showcase of talent.<br />

Running from tonight until<br />

February 10, the Lyttelton Circus<br />

Theatre company presents Berlin<br />

Burlesque – The Story of Hanussen.<br />

“It’s a very exciting show and<br />

it’s got a bit of everything,” said<br />

cast member Skye Broberg.<br />

The production is a rework<br />

of the company’s previous tour.<br />

It fuses theatre and circus in<br />

a dreamy imagining of 1930s<br />

Berlin.<br />

The company was formerly<br />

known as ‘The Loons’ for the<br />

well-known working men’s club<br />

where they rehearsed and performed<br />

in Lyttelton.<br />

The venue was damaged<br />

beyond repair in the June 2011<br />

earthquake.<br />

“Everything was put on hold,<br />

and people went their separate<br />

ways as time went on,” said<br />

Broberg.<br />

In August last year, company<br />

director Mike Friend put a<br />

call out to performers, asking<br />

them to take part in a new<br />

production at the Lyttelton Arts<br />

Factory.<br />

Friend is the artistic director<br />

of the arts factory, which opened<br />

next to Lyttelton Primary School<br />

in 2016 as the direct successor to<br />

The Loons venue.<br />

The performers answered the<br />

call and reassembled, with members<br />

returning to Christchurch<br />

from across New Zealand and<br />

overseas.<br />

Sophie Easton, the production’s<br />

lead vocalist, returned<br />

from Canada to take part. Identical<br />

‘Twisty Twinz’ Jola and Nele<br />

Siezen also came back.<br />

Said Broberg: “lt was wonderful<br />

to see everyone and be back<br />

together. It was surreal being<br />

back together in the same room.<br />

It was almost like no time had<br />

passed.”<br />

The company promises a<br />

“dynamic aerial set, mesmerising<br />

circus acts, seductive performances,<br />

and a live band”.<br />

The cast includes actors and<br />

performers Nele and Jola Siezen,<br />

Pascal Ackermann, David Ladderman<br />

and Tom Trevella.<br />

“We’ve all really grown in<br />

skills and experience since the<br />

last time. We all have a lot more<br />

to offer now,” said Broberg.<br />

Based on a true story, the<br />

production tells the tale of Erik<br />

Jan Hanussen, a mentalist and<br />

variety theatre owner in Weimar<br />

and later Nazi Germany.<br />

Despite his Jewish heritage, he<br />

had instructed Hitler in performance<br />

and the art of dramatic<br />

effect.<br />

Hanussen claimed to be a<br />

prophet, but blinded by his own<br />

success, he could not foresee his<br />

own demise.<br />

Swastikas and other Nazi<br />

symbols will be part of<br />

Berlin Burlesque, but<br />

steps have been taken<br />

to minimise any offence<br />

they may cause. The<br />

show is set in Germany in<br />

the 1930s and explores<br />

the rise of Nazism.<br />

“It’s something that<br />

we’re very mindful of,”<br />

said Broberg.<br />

The cast and crew<br />

have been discussing the<br />

issue, as a law banning<br />

the Nazi salute and the<br />

display or sale of symbols<br />

associated with Nazism<br />

came into effect in<br />

Australia last week.<br />

The offence is<br />

punishable by up to<br />

12 months in prison.<br />

Exemptions exist for<br />

academic, educational or<br />

artistic use.<br />

Broberg said the script<br />

writers and set designers<br />

have been careful to only<br />

portray Nazi symbols<br />

negatively.<br />

“It is a very serious<br />

thing, but we shouldn’t<br />

forget and move on from<br />

these atrocities. We need<br />

to learn from the past.”<br />

There is a disclaimer on<br />

the Lyttelton Arts Factory<br />

website, warning about<br />

the inclusion of Nazi<br />

symbols in the show.<br />

‘It’s one of the best jobs in the world’<br />

• By Dylan Smits<br />

SKYE BROBERG often finds<br />

herself crammed into tight<br />

spaces for the entertainment of<br />

others.<br />

A contortionist and Guinness<br />

World Record holder, the<br />

51-year-old is one of Berlin Burlesque’s<br />

feature performers.<br />

“I’ve never had the aspiration<br />

to be the best at anything. I just<br />

do what I enjoy and that’s what<br />

draws me in,” said Broberg.<br />

Born in Melbourne, she has<br />

made Lyttelton her home for the<br />

past <strong>17</strong> years and contributed to<br />

arts development in the port.<br />

Specialising in contortion, hula-hooping<br />

and aerial acrobatics,<br />

Broberg has shown off her skills<br />

across the globe.<br />

“It’s one of the best jobs in<br />

the world. There’s not many<br />

other jobs where you get people<br />

coming up to you after saying<br />

‘thank you’. You feel very<br />

spoiled.”<br />

Broberg has performed at festivals<br />

and in circus productions<br />

across the globe.<br />

Her most active touring period<br />

was between 2008 and 2012. The<br />

fallout from the earthquakes<br />

made it difficult to tour.<br />

“Any place that we would normally<br />

train at was gone. Along<br />

with that, there weren’t many<br />

gigs around. So yeah, it was a<br />

difficult time.”<br />

Broberg then became more<br />

involved with the Lyttelton arts<br />

community.<br />

“It’s my chosen home. I find it<br />

weird whenever I go back to Australia,<br />

people are like ‘oh you’re<br />

going home,’ I’m like, ‘this is my<br />

home now’.”<br />

Broberg achieved a world record<br />

in 2011 for cramming into a<br />

box in 4.78 seconds.<br />

She had another remarkable<br />

achievement in 2009, when she<br />

and fellow Berlin Burlesque<br />

cast members the Twisty Twinz<br />

achieved the longest duration of<br />

three people squeezed into a box.<br />

They were able to stay inside<br />

for 6min 13.52sec.<br />

Broberg found enjoyment and<br />

a good challenge in taking on<br />

these records.<br />

“I knew I had a good chance,<br />

but they were incredibly<br />

challenging for sure. Like<br />

anything with athletes, you<br />

know you’re capable of it, but on<br />

the day it’s a question of whether<br />

you can perform under that<br />

pressure.”<br />

She went on Italian TV to<br />

show off her skills after achieving<br />

the fastest box contortion record.<br />

“They were adventures for me.<br />

It’s always fun and the people<br />

take good care of you.”<br />

Hanussen. ​<br />

Broberg discovered her passion<br />

for circus while working an IT<br />

desk job in Melbourne.<br />

“A friend told me they were<br />

going to do a stunt course, and I<br />

loved the idea of it.”<br />

She joined the three-week long<br />

intensive course on the Gold<br />

Coast when she was 29-yearsold,<br />

and her passion was born.<br />

“I started to think, you know<br />

what, I’m sick of my desk job.<br />

I’m really enjoying this. So, I<br />

left Melbourne and I came to<br />

Christchurch.”<br />

At 32, she met much of the<br />

Berlin Burlesque cast at the<br />

former Christchurch Polytechic<br />

Institute of Technology circoarts<br />

programme.<br />

After finishing the course, she<br />

travelled in circus companies<br />

and conducted solo tours across<br />

New Zealand and around the<br />

world.<br />

Broberg said it requires<br />

dedicated flexibility training to<br />

succeed at contortion.<br />

“Now that I’m over 50, really<br />

making sure I warm up well<br />

beforehand. These days the body<br />

won’t bounce back as quickly.”<br />

She now works full-time at<br />

the Lyttelton Arts Factory as an<br />

administrator, and as creative<br />

director of the Lyttelton Arts<br />

Festival.<br />

“I really like the organisational<br />

side of things and I really love<br />

getting to meet all of these<br />

wonderful performers and<br />

creating an environment where<br />

they can shine,” she said.<br />

Going forward, Broberg hopes<br />

to see Berlin Burlesque succeed<br />

so the circus company can put<br />

on more shows together.<br />

Bridge Club<br />

Do you enjoy cards, like challenges & want to<br />

stay mentally alert?<br />

….then learn to play Bridge<br />

The Christchurch Bridge Club, established in 1952, is the largest in New Zealand with a<br />

membership of approximately 800 members. Our modern clubrooms are centrally located in Nova<br />

Place, off Barbadoes Street, with extensive off-street parking and consist of three large rooms and<br />

excellent catering facilities.<br />

The club offers lessons which are provided by professional teachers utilising the latest technologies<br />

which enable practice and review at home on the internet. After 11 weeks you will be ready to<br />

set out on your bridge journey armed with enthusiasm and skills to last a lifetime. Opportunities<br />

to represent your club, province or country in a variety of grades will be open to you. In addition,<br />

the enjoyment of social interaction and friendship with like-minded people of all ages cannot be<br />

underestimated, especially in these challenging times. Playing bridge has helped many of our<br />

members to survive the tedium of lockdown with the club arranging on-line competitions to allow<br />

people to keep in touch. Now that we are playing face-to-face, vaccination certificates are required<br />

for entry to the club as the safety of our members is paramount. We look forward to meeting you!<br />

NEWS<br />

Dad doesn’t know<br />

if police ‘asked for<br />

camera footage’<br />

•From page 1<br />

The father told <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong><br />

News he believed police did not<br />

check CCTV cameras which<br />

could have provided clues to<br />

the vehicle the stranger could<br />

have been associated with. His<br />

daughter said a white van was<br />

parked near where she was<br />

approached.<br />

He said cameras on Norwich<br />

Quay and the Lyttelton<br />

Tunnel could have helped the<br />

investigation.<br />

The father says police initially<br />

said they would check footage<br />

from the cameras. But when<br />

he made inquiries about the<br />

progress of the investigation last<br />

week, he was told the case was<br />

“closed”.<br />

The officer he was dealing with<br />

wouldn’t say if the cameras had<br />

been checked, he said.<br />

“I said to her: ‘So what have<br />

you guys actually done?’”<br />

He said the officer would not<br />

reveal what other inquiries had<br />

been made.<br />

“I don’t think they did<br />

anything. I don’t even know<br />

if they asked for the camera<br />

footage.”<br />

Police also refused to answer<br />

specific questions from <strong>Bay</strong><br />

<strong>Harbour</strong> News, including<br />

whether the Norwich Quay and<br />

tunnel cameras, or any others<br />

around Lyttelton, were checked.<br />

The father also said he told<br />

police about a grey vehicle which<br />

could have been involved when<br />

another girl was approached<br />

at Opawa School, also in<br />

December.<br />

The person associated with<br />

that vehicle had similar features<br />

to the man his daughter said<br />

approached her.<br />

The father’s inquiries also<br />

revealed Lyttelton Tunnel CCTV<br />

footage is deleted after about<br />

seven days.<br />

A NZTA Waka Kotahi<br />

spokesperson said the footage is<br />

deleted because of storage costs.<br />

CCTV footage on Norwich<br />

Quay is stored in a city council<br />

database and is deleted after<br />

about five weeks.<br />

Police would not comment on<br />

whether CCTV at the tunnel or<br />

in other parts of Lyttelton were<br />

checked for vehicles of interest<br />

during the investigation or if<br />

there were checks within seven<br />

days of the alleged incident.<br />

‘We got out of it by<br />

the skin of our teeth’<br />

•From page 1<br />

Although the neighbour<br />

opened a door to the property,<br />

dense smoke prevented him from<br />

retrieving Girl from the lounge.<br />

“The smoke was so intense they<br />

had to close the doors again and<br />

wait for the firefighters to get her<br />

out. They had to wait seven or<br />

so minutes for someone to get in<br />

there and get her,” Kate Robinson<br />

said.<br />

“When I got there and saw the<br />

state she was in . . . she couldn’t<br />

walk and (was) struggling to<br />

breathe. She was pretty much out<br />

to it and not looking very good.”<br />

A veterinarian, who was<br />

those guys. The fire brigade was<br />

magnificent.”<br />

Akaroa Volunteer Fire Brigade<br />

chief fire officer Mark Thomson<br />

credited his crew for finding Girl<br />

in challenging circumstances<br />

after arriving on the scene seven<br />

minutes after the alarm was<br />

sounded.<br />

“It was a black<br />

dog in a black<br />

smoke-filled<br />

room on a black<br />

couch so the<br />

guys did very,<br />

very well to find<br />

her and put BA<br />

(breathing apparatus)<br />

on.”<br />

Mark<br />

fortuitously in the vicinity, then<br />

continued Girl’s treatment,<br />

Still, the Thomson<br />

administering antibiotics and grateful. “I looked over (from the scenario looked<br />

steroids.<br />

“She got a couple of shots and<br />

bounced back really quickly, then<br />

she did decline a bit later,” Kate<br />

Robinson said.<br />

“She was really lethargic . . .<br />

coughing. We had to carry her<br />

out to the toilet. It’s only been the<br />

last couple of days that she’s fully<br />

recovered. We’re really, really<br />

lucky.”<br />

Although the fire – believed to<br />

be caused by an electrical fault –<br />

extensively damaged the kitchen<br />

and lounge, Lee Robinson was<br />

boat) and I could see the smoke<br />

pouring out of the roof. It was a<br />

bit unnerving, but never mind,<br />

we’re alive,” he said.<br />

“We were five minutes off losing<br />

everything; we got out of it by<br />

the skin our of teeth.<br />

“There was a lot of damage but<br />

we could have lost a dog, a bach<br />

(built by Lee’s father Matthew<br />

in 1953), and 30 years of native<br />

planting.<br />

“Baches up the hillside,<br />

everything was at risk. We were<br />

so lucky, I can’t say enough about<br />

grim when they emerged: “Its<br />

head was limp, it didn’t look<br />

good,” he said.<br />

So Thomson, his firefighters,<br />

and volunteers from Little River<br />

were amazed when Girl returned<br />

from her vet visit while they were<br />

mopping up.<br />

“When she came back every<br />

single one of them was like<br />

‘Is this the same dog?’” Kate<br />

Robinson said.<br />

“She was very, very close (to<br />

death). They were all really<br />

stoked she was ok.”<br />

City2Surf: Running for kids in <strong>2024</strong><br />

CHILDREN encountering a<br />

challenging road ahead will<br />

benefit from the latest edition of<br />

the iconic Les Mills City2Surf<br />

fun run in March.<br />

Star Media has partnered with<br />

the Cholmondeley Children’s<br />

Centre in Governors <strong>Bay</strong>, a safe<br />

haven for children aged between<br />

three and 12-years-old.<br />

Established in 1925 as the<br />

Cholmondeley Memorial<br />

Children’s Home, more than<br />

30,000 Canterbury children have<br />

stayed at the facility on a shortterm<br />

respite basis.<br />

A new purpose-built premises<br />

opened in 2015 following the<br />

Canterbury earthquakes.<br />

“It’s a really<br />

good cause,”<br />

said Star<br />

Media regional<br />

manager Steve<br />

McCaughan,<br />

who encouraged<br />

City2Surf<br />

competitors<br />

to donate to<br />

Cholmondeley<br />

Steve<br />

McCaughan<br />

when they register for the March<br />

<strong>17</strong> event.<br />

“It gets funding to the tune of<br />

about $700,000 a year so they<br />

have a shortfall of about $1.6<br />

million. They rely on fundraising<br />

FUN-DRAISE: Take on the original pre-quake running<br />

route on Sunday, March <strong>17</strong> and help raise money for<br />

Cholmondeley Children’s Centre.<br />

to be able to operate at full<br />

capacity,” he said.<br />

“Cholmondeley relies on<br />

public funding and you have the<br />

ability to donate through the<br />

website. Your donation can make<br />

the difference between another<br />

child getting a bed for the night.”<br />

Social and serious athletes<br />

tackle the celebrated original<br />

route from the central city to<br />

New Brighton for a second<br />

successive year after earthquake<br />

damage required revised routes<br />

post-2011.<br />

This edition of the South<br />

Island’s biggest fun run is again<br />

spearheaded by a 12km route<br />

from Latimer Square to New<br />

Brighton.<br />

A less taxing 6km route starts<br />

at Bickerton Reserve in Wainoni<br />

– near last year’s starting point at<br />

Avon Park – and also finishes at<br />

Rawhiti Domain.<br />

Time Travelling with a Tortoise<br />

by Ross Welford<br />

Exciting, funny, heartwarming, and mind-bendingly<br />

clever, Time Travelling with a Tortoise is the<br />

extraordinary, adventure-packed sequel to Ross<br />

Welford’s beloved, bestselling debut, Time Travelling<br />

with a Hamster. Al Chaudhury travelled back in time to<br />

save his father’s life.<br />

And it worked – Al’s dad is alive again and life is back to the way<br />

it should be. At least, that’s what Al thinks.<br />

Because when an accident nearly kills Al’s beloved Grandpa Byron, and<br />

forces Al back in time again, this time he leaves someone behind, trapped<br />

in another dimension forever.<br />

And now Al is forced to travel through time once more, not just to rescue<br />

his friend from the past, but also to save his Grandpa Byron’s life… and to<br />

make sure that there will be a future waiting for them all.<br />

It turns out time travel isn’t as simple as Al thought.<br />

THIS BOOK<br />

On the eve of a world war, a forbidden love will blossom in the garden of a<br />

stately home, where one young woman will make a choice that will change<br />

her life forever…<br />

As the storm clouds of war gather, Cordelia seeks refuge in the grounds<br />

of her family estate. Handsome landscaper Isaac has recently arrived to<br />

tend to the gardens, and the connection between him and Cordelia is as<br />

immediate as it is forbidden. Isaac begins to secretly teach her how to<br />

cultivate the gardens, so when he and all the young men are called away<br />

to war, Cordelia takes over. From the battlefields of Europe, Isaac sends<br />

her letters, that give her hope for their future in peacetime. But when<br />

these messages abruptly cease, Cordelia must face up to the worst and<br />

take her future – and the fate of the garden they both loved – into her own<br />

hands…<br />

An epic, sweeping tale of love, war and the strength of the human spirit.<br />

Fans of Lucinda Riley and Kate Morton will be absolutely gripped by this<br />

Puawai recipients embody school values<br />

Heathcote Valley School recipients Jamie, Belle and Aislinn<br />

with Gretchen Cocks.<br />

LAST YEAR’S Year 8 students<br />

are starting to think about<br />

the transition to high school<br />

with excitement and a maybe<br />

a little trepidation. And their<br />

parents are thinking about the<br />

transition too, because it’s not<br />

an inexpensive exercise with the<br />

need for new uniforms and new<br />

technology.<br />

To assist with costs, the<br />

Sumner Ferrymead Foundation<br />

introduced the Puawai Award<br />

in 2020. The award recognises<br />

students who flourished in their<br />

final year of primary school.<br />

Each school determines their<br />

own criteria, and the number of<br />

recipients they wish to recognise.<br />

Said Te Raekura Redcliffs<br />

School principal Nick Leith: “For<br />

our four recipients, it’s a wellearned<br />

award as they embody<br />

the school values. They are leaders<br />

in their own right, in the way<br />

they interact with all students<br />

as well as mentoring the young<br />

ones. They clearly demonstrate<br />

authentic leadership.”<br />

The 13 recipients of the Puawai<br />

Award are a diverse group. Ask<br />

them their favourite subjects and<br />

you find maths and PE are common,<br />

with writing and art close<br />

behind. In their spare time they<br />

are an active bunch, playing basketball,<br />

football, hockey, netball,<br />

surfing, snowboarding, running,<br />

ocean training and horse-riding.<br />

Music, art, reading and computer<br />

games also feature. Next year<br />

they are heading off in different<br />

directions to nine Christchurch<br />

high schools.<br />

“What impressed me was<br />

many of them had such clear<br />

aspirations as such an early age,”<br />

said Sumner Ferrymead Foundation<br />

trustee Jane Paterson.<br />

“It might be to earn a place<br />

on the Freeride World Tour<br />

for snowboarding, to represent<br />

Christchurch at the eventing<br />

championships this year, to earn<br />

a medal at the <strong>2024</strong> national surf<br />

lifesaving competitions, or to<br />

even join a rock band. They have<br />

both short and long-term goals<br />

and I am sure they will do their<br />

best to make them a reality.”<br />

While the Puawai Awards are<br />

for Year 8 students, the Sumner<br />

Ferrymead Foundation also<br />

offers a range of academic and<br />

Outward Bound scholarships,<br />

and apprentice and environment<br />

awards.<br />

• Applications are<br />

now open for the <strong>2024</strong><br />

scholarships and awards<br />

programme. More<br />

Ensuring the Okains <strong>Bay</strong><br />

community keeps thriving<br />

Community-led<br />

development in small<br />

settlements can make all<br />

the difference. Reporter<br />

Dylan Smits spoke with<br />

Judith Thacker from the<br />

Okains <strong>Bay</strong> Enhancement<br />

Society about her group’s<br />

work to preserve the<br />

settlement’s heritage and<br />

attract visitors<br />

JUDITH THACKER “is all<br />

about” making Okains <strong>Bay</strong> a<br />

better place to live and visit.<br />

Now her efforts have been<br />

acknowledged with a city council<br />

civic award for services to the<br />

community.<br />

The 77-year-old was shocked<br />

when she was nominated for the<br />

award by residents.<br />

But she said it felt good to<br />

receive it alongside others who<br />

have made positive contributions<br />

to their communities. That<br />

was until she was told to give<br />

a speech at the ceremony last<br />

month.<br />

“That was my worst<br />

nightmare,” said Thacker.<br />

“I tend to be more of a team<br />

player than a leader.”<br />

Born in Christchurch, she<br />

married her husband Kerry in<br />

1965 and moved to the bay.<br />

“I knew about community and<br />

how important it was even in the<br />

city to pull your weight.”<br />

Thacker wears several hats<br />

in the community but feels her<br />

position on the enhancement<br />

society’s board has the most<br />

impact.<br />

“I’m proactive. I come up with<br />

ideas and I like to follow them<br />

through, but I also like a group<br />

of people around.<br />

“You know, like-minded and<br />

who participate in the same way.”<br />

From planting thousands of<br />

native trees with conservation<br />

groups to preserving heritage<br />

buildings, Thacker said the<br />

society works to make the bay an<br />

attractive place for residents and<br />

visitors.<br />

The role of women in the<br />

community was drastically<br />

different when she first moved to<br />

the bay as an 18-year-old.<br />

“The women of the bay, at<br />

that stage, a lot of them didn’t<br />

drive. So they relied on their<br />

husbands.”<br />

Thacker was a member of the<br />

first women’s groups formed in<br />

the bay in the 1960s and 70s.<br />

“It became an important time<br />

when women were starting to<br />

branch out a bit more and learn<br />

a bit.”<br />

Discussing local issues with<br />

other women living in the bay,<br />

Thacker gained the confidence to<br />

participate and contribute to the<br />

area’s development.<br />

“It gave us the chance to learn<br />

about public speaking, to not be<br />

scared to participate in stating<br />

our views on things.<br />

“I think that was a movement<br />

in our community that gave<br />

women strength.<br />

“A community is made by<br />

interaction and how you relate to<br />

people.<br />

“If you put a bit of effort in, I’ve<br />

always believed you get<br />

more out of it.”<br />

The closure of the cheese<br />

factory in 1968 was a turning<br />

point for Okains <strong>Bay</strong>.<br />

HARD-WORKING: Judith<br />

Thacker received a city<br />

council civic award for her<br />

work with the Okains <strong>Bay</strong><br />

Enhancement Society from<br />

Mayor Phil Mauger.<br />

With a major employer gone<br />

and many moving away, the<br />

remaining residents decided<br />

they needed to play a more<br />

active role in making the bay<br />

more attractive to visitors and<br />

prospective property owners.<br />

“It was changing times. When<br />

those houses became vacant<br />

and they were taken up by more<br />

holiday homes, it was important<br />

to rope those people in and<br />

sort of create things for them to<br />

participate.”<br />

With a small and relatively<br />

stagnant population, Okains <strong>Bay</strong><br />

needs visitors and new residents<br />

to thrive.<br />

“Without the community<br />

work, you see it all over in<br />

different places. You see the old<br />

halls and where communities<br />

used to be, and they are no<br />

longer.”<br />

Kerry’s older cousin, Murray<br />

Thacker, transformed the old<br />

cheese factory building into the<br />

Okains <strong>Bay</strong> Maori & Colonial<br />

Museum.<br />

His efforts to develop the bay<br />

inspired Thacker.<br />

“He had that vision, always of<br />

community.<br />

“Whatever he could think of<br />

to keep it like it used to be. Us<br />

younger ones have continued in<br />

that same mindset.<br />

“How can we make the place<br />

attractive to the people who do<br />

want to come and buy into it.”<br />

Murray died in 20<strong>17</strong>, but his<br />

legacy remains in the bay.<br />

The enhancement society<br />

was created in 2000 to direct<br />

development projects in the bay.<br />

“It’s an ongoing thing. I think<br />

progress makes progress happen.<br />

It accelerates things.”<br />

Over the last five years,<br />

protecting the bay’s heritage<br />

buildings has become a priority<br />

for the society.<br />

The library and general store<br />

have both been renovated to keep<br />

their heritage character. Thacker<br />

is also a guide at the museum,<br />

helping draw visitors to the area<br />

and teaching them about the its<br />

history.<br />

“It was the first landing site for<br />

Ngai Tahu, and it also has a lot<br />

of history of the early colonial<br />

days,” she said.<br />

“At the museum we try to<br />

recognise both.”<br />

Thacker said the<br />

successful campaign in<br />

2013 to keep Okains <strong>Bay</strong>s<br />

School open was another<br />

example of the community<br />

coming together.<br />

“I believe we can, with good<br />

intentions, keep it going here for<br />

many generations to come.”<br />
