Tina Fautrier has been re-living
a lifetime of memories while
sorting through photo negatives
and saving them digitally.
She The is Star, one January of more 23, 2025 than 200
people in the last year to use a
digitising service available at
Christchurch Libraries, utilising
Turanga’s Media Conversion
Station to scan hundreds of
personal images and safely save
them to a memory stick.
“My The husband Star, January Dr 23, Aldo 2025Fautrier
passed away three months ago,
so it’s been an emotional period,
but going through these photos
has brought back flashes of all
the great times we had together
over the years,” she said.
The Media Conversion Station
was established at Turanga in
2023 – the brainchild of Turanga’s
Auahatanga activation
co-ordinator Brian Wickhem.
It allows people to scan photographs,
slides, 35mm or 120mm
film and polaroids, with the

service having expanded to Fendalton
Library, Matatiki Hornby
Centre and this month to Aranui
Library.
Wickhem had set up similar
services in Brisbane when working
for libraries there and was
keen to do the same thing after
moving to Christchurch.
“I said this thing went gang
busters in Australia – can
we try and re-create it here.
People come and often start
crying, they are seeing things
they haven’t seen for maybe 40
years. Lost loved ones, children,
partners,” said Wickhem.
“I enjoy setting up programmes
that can serve the
community and improve literacy
levels – whether that be
digital literacy or traditional literacy
rates.”
He says the service is easy to
use.
“We recommend booking
an introductory class to get
an overview of what they can
digitise and how to prepare for
a session.
“Then people can book a
session, for a maximum of three
hours, and get to work.”

Time to step back for Topsy –
It is the end of an era for
Sumner. Topsy Rule, 90, is
stepping down from the
historical society she helped
found 50 years ago. Louis
Walker caught up with her
Most of Topsy Rule’s belongings
have been stored away in
a container, and she is still
adjusting to the more cramped
lifestyle of the Edith Cavell rest
home where she has lived for
three months.
Still close at hand are the
colourful crochet blankets she
spends her time making for
disabled children, draped over
her bed and tucked into a small
bag by her feet in various stages
of completion.
“It’s very important for old
people to keep their hands
going,” she says.
She also still knits her own
jerseys.
Her days will soon become a
little quieter, as she prepares to
step down from the committee of
the Sumner-Redcliffs Historical
Society at its annual general
meeting on Sunday.
Former community board
member Dr Darryl Latham,
who worked alongside Topsy on
efforts to restore a flagpole at the
Sumner Centre, described her
as “very much a stalwart and a
hard worker for the community”.
“She is no shrinking violet and
she accepts challenges, and will

do the best for the people and by
the people,” he said.
The idea for the society – and
the associated Sumner Museum –
was first conceived in 1976 while
Topsy and her late husband Stan
were helping organise celebrations
for Sumner School’s 100th
anniversary.
The society is now helping
mark the school’s 150th this year.
“Lots of people came from all
over the world and left their
trinkets and medals and their
cups and their plans, and one
man left two revolvers from
the Battle of the Somme,” she
recalls.
The couple, who were both
later awarded Queen’s Service
Medals for their community
and heritage work, did not at
the time have any experience in
curation, and sought help from
Baden Norris, founder of the
Lyttelton Museum.
“We decided that we would
call a meeting of interested
people, so I wrote to every club
from Godley Head to the Heathcote
Bridge, you know, whether
they’re sports clubs or churches.
“My husband worked for the
council, so he could get the old
library and the old borough
council building for us.”
The museum opened in January
of 1979, on the corner of
Wakefield Ave and Nayland St,
where it stayed until the original
building was destroyed in
the earthquakes. The surviving
items were moved into the new
community centre just down the
road in 2017.
Topsy – a name given to her
as a child after the American
doll brand because she had dark
hair (her real name is Maureen),
moves seamlessly between
detailed recollections of local
history – which she knows in
encyclopaedic depth – and memories
of her own family life, the
two often intertwined.
“My grandmother came here
as a servant for the headmaster
and looked after his children,
and she married her husband,
who drove the number seven
tram, the old steam tram, and so
they used to tell us stories of life
in Sumner in the 1880s.”

The Star, July 2, 2026
the keeper of Sumner’s stories
Born on Stoke St in 1936,
Topsy recalls a childhood
shaped by war. She says her
school was occupied by troops
just days after the attack on
Pearl Harbour.
“The army just took over, and
we had to go to Woolston School
the next year.”
Her father, who had served in
a rifle brigade in the World War
1 oversaw the firing of practice
bombs into the estuary during
World War 2.
Decades on, one of those
bombs resurfaced in her
own backyard after her son
discovered it while tidying the
property.
“A rusty old bomb with a hole
in it... it had made its way with
the earthquake under our beds
and into our potato patch.”
The family was allowed to
keep it, and it is now on display
in the museum.
Topsy lived in Redcliffs for
most of her adult life, where she
raised six children.
“Redcliffs was a wonderful
community when our kids were
growing up, they were very
lucky.
“They come back now and
think how lucky they were
with the park and the estuary
and the whitebait and the
fishing and the yachting and
everything that was there for
kids.”
She lost her son Derek in
November last year.
“It’s been a big shock to us all.
I never thought anybody would
Topsy Rule and former Heathcote Ward city councillor Sara Templeton placed the time capsule in the partially built Matuku

die before the mother did, but
we all look after one another,
and we keep in touch.”
She remains closely connected
to her 14 grandchildren and
eight great-grandchildren, who
are spread across New Zealand
and Australia.
“I know all their birthdays
and how old they all are, they’re
not getting past me,” she jokes.
Topsy is fascinated by the
history of land ownership and
the past it unveils.
“I do find the land the most
important thing of all, because
it relates to the early settlers.
She describes being given the
diaries of farmer and cricketer
John Monck, who owned land
in what is now Moncks Bay. His
writings span 70 years and provide
a detailed record of life in
the region.
“Monck had a tremendous
diary, he came here with the
coaches, and he died when Kingsford
Smith was bringing the
airplane over in 1929.”
The land, she says, also holds
stories far older than European
settlement.
“We are sitting on a Māori pā
site here – we think – and on the
hill, there’s been graves found.
“There’s got to be a lot more
Māori history uncovered.”
Asked how Sumner has
changed over her lifetime, she
reflects on the decline of community
organisations.
“When we were formed, there
“I’m getting old and
people say ‘she’s oldfashioned’.
I know we’re
old-fashioned, but you’ve
got to all be old-fashioned
one day, don’t you?”
Topsy Rule
was a lovely local newspaper,
and do you know, there was a
round table, the Lions, all these
men's groups, and the secretary
would put his report in every
month, and there was an RSA,
and they're slowly disappearing.
“In our day everybody volunteered,
but today they don't
have the volunteers that we
had.
“I feel it's so, so sad, because
mothers now with the financial
situation have to work, they
don't have the time to do the
things that probably we did in
our day.”
Despite recently turning 90,
Topsy plans to continue her heritage
work in a supporting role,
taking a taxi to the museum
each Tuesday morning.
“Other people will take over,
but I still want to go down there
and help if I’m of any use.
“I’m getting old and people
say ‘she’s old-fashioned’. I know
we’re old-fashioned, but you’ve
got to all be old-fashioned one
day, don’t you?”

A taste of purple
and orange
Find your comfort zone with silky aubergines followed by a moist
orange bundt cake, suggests Nigel Slater
SLOW-COOKED AUBERGINE WITH
YOGHURT AND CUCUMBER
Ingredients
Serves 4 as main dish with rice
750g (3 medium to small)
aubergines
100-150ml, plus a little more,
olive oil
50g fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic
½ tsp salt flakes
½ tsp ground black peppercorns
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp ground cinnamon
To finish
2 Tbsp honey
50g golden sultanas
2 Tbsp mint leaves
2 tsp dried rose petals
For the yoghurt sauce
100g yoghurt
200g cucumber
6, plus 2 Tbsp to garnish, mint
leaves
1 red chilli
2 Tbsp pistachios
​
Method
• Peel the aubergines and slice
them in half, top to bottom. Cut
each half into 3 thick pieces.
• Warm 100ml of olive oil in a
wide, shallow pan over a moderate
heat. I use one with a 24cm
base. Place as many aubergine
pieces, cut-side down, as you can
comfortably fit in the pan and
let them cook until golden on the
underside, about 4-5 minutes.
• Keeping the heat fairly high,
turn each piece with kitchen
tongs and leave to colour the
other side. Loosen them with
a palette knife as they cook, so
they don’t stick. You may need to
top up the oil from time to time.
Aubergines are heavy drinkers.
Remove them as they become
ready and replace with the rest
of the aubergines.
• Peel the ginger, slice thinly,
then cut into matchstick-size
pieces. Peel and crush the garlic.
• When all the aubergines are
golden and removed from the
pan, lower the heat a little, add
the ginger and garlic followed
by the salt, pepper, turmeric and
cinnamon.
• Let the spices sizzle for a
minute or so, stirring regularly –
they mustn’t burn – then pour in
600ml of water, turn up the heat
and bring to the boil.
• Return the aubergines to the
pan, lower the heat to a simmer,
partially cover with a lid – you
just want a crack for the steam
to escape – and cook until truly
silky and tender.
• Check and turn them from
time to time, but they should
take about 25-30 minutes. They
should be so soft you could crush
them between finger and thumb.
Keep an eye on the liquid level.
• For the sauce, put the yoghurt
into a bowl, peel and cut the
cucumber in half lengthways,
scrape out and discard the seeds,
then coarsely grate the flesh and
stir into the yoghurt.
•Shred the mint leaves, finely
chop the chilli and roughly chop
the pistachios and fold all into
the yoghurt.
• Remove the aubergines to a
serving dish, then stir the honey
and sultanas into the cooking
juices.
• Turn the heat up, let the
sauce reduce a little, then taste
adding a little salt, pepper or
honey as you wish (bear in mind
you will be eating it with the
yoghurt sauce).
• Scatter with the mint leaves
and rose petals. Serve with the
yoghurt and rice.

ORANGE AND ALMOND
BUNDT CAKES
You will need six individual
tins, but, if you prefer, use deep
paper cake cases.
Ingredients
Makes 6
200g, plus a little for the tins,
butter
200g caster sugar
1 lemon
1 small orange
100g skinned almonds
100g, plus some for the tins, selfraising
flour
3 eggs
For the icing
85g icing sugar
2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp poppy seeds
​
Method
• Set the oven at 180degC. Prepare
the cake tins by melting a
little extra butter, brushing it
over the inside of the tins, then
dusting them lightly with flour.
Turn the tins upside down and
shake lightly to remove any
excess flour.
• Cream the butter and sugar
together in a food mixer until
pale and fluffy. Finely grate and
add the orange and lemon zest.
Grind the almonds to a coarse
powder in a food processor then
stir in the flour. Break the eggs
into a small bowl and beat thoroughly
with a fork.
• When the butter and sugar
are well creamed, add the flouralmond
mixture and the beaten
eggs, alternately and a little at
a time, beating continuously.
Mix lightly but thoroughly then
spoon into the cake tins, smoothing
the surface as you go.
•Bake for 20-25 minutes until
the cakes have risen. Test with a
skewer. Remove from the oven
and leave to settle for 5 minutes.
Turn out on to a cooling rack.
For the icing, sieve the icing
sugar into a small bowl, squeeze
in the lemon juice and mix to a
smooth icing about the consistency
of cream. It should fall from
the spoon quite slowly – too thin
and it will slip off the cakes.
• Trickle the icing over the
cakes, sprinkle the poppy seeds
on top and leave in a cool place
to set
Minor amendment to the enrolment scheme of Te Oraka
The Ministry of Education is proposing a minor amendment to the enrolment
scheme of Te Oraka (formerly Shirley Intermediate). This is to increase the
maximum roll in their te reo Māori special programme – Te Tāhu Rua Reo,
in their enrolment scheme.
Students who meet the criteria for enrolment and live within the home zone
must be enrolled ahead of out-of-zone students. Out-of-zone students who
meet the criteria for enrolment in the special programme have priority in
enrolment above all other out-of-zone students while special programme
places are available. The enrolment of out-of-zone students is governed by
the provisions of the Education and Training Act 2020.
