THE future of the Godley House site is secure, Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker says, dispelling rumours that the land could be sold.

“The council has no intention of selling it. What’s going to happen with the Godley House site will be what the community wants to see,” Mr Parker said at the “wake” held on site last Sunday to mark the passing of the historic earthquake-damaged building, which will be demolished.

“It’s important for us to work together to fi nd a solution.”

Despite grey skies and cool temperatures, about 250 people gathered to say farewell to the building, which had a category 2 designation from the Historic Places Trust.

Standing since 1880, the building was severely damaged in the September 4, 2010, earthquake. It suffered further extensive damage in the February 22 and June 13 quakes this year and is to be demolished. No date has been set for demolition, although four companies have tendered for the work.

Leasees Richard Hawes and Michelle Anderton and their three children were woken by the September quake and managed to escape without injury. Ms Anderton said ironically the door frame under which she took refuge as the shaking continued, was one part of the building that remained intact.

Following a pot luck lunch in the community hall on Sunday, the security gates were opened at 1pm and the crowds moved across to the lawn in front of the fenced-off building to mingle and reminisce about the times they had spent at Godley House over the years.

The council-owned facility has been the mainstay of the harbour community’s hospitality industry and many people spoken to by Bay Harbour News, while sad about its demise, were adamant that it must be replaced with a similar facility to provide a meeting place for the locals and to keep people coming to Diamond Harbour.

Among those gathered were former leasees Linda and Michael Fogarty, who ran Godley

House from 1998 to 2002, Neil Blunden, who was there from 2002 to 2009, and Gay and Gordon Edwards, who were the lease holders from 1988 to 1995.

Mrs Fogarty said the wake was a great opportunity to catch up with old friends and talk over old times.

“Even though we don’t have Godley House any more, we still have our memories,” she said.

Mr Edwards, who secured the liquor licence for the facility about a year after taking it over, wants to see a new facility built on the site soon.

“They need to get it down as quickly as possible. It badly needs to be replaced,” Mr Edwards said.

The wake was organised by Adrian Te Patu, chairman of the Diamond Harbour Community Association.

He said a community consultation meeting would be held in two weeks’ time to get feedback from the locals about what should replace Godley House.

SENIOR crew member of Coastguard Canterbury, Nelson Colyer, has been named Coastguard Southern Region Rescue Vessel Volunteer of the Year 2011.

Mr Colyer was recognised for his bravery in boarding the tug Rakanui on April 23, 2011 when it was sinking off the Canterbury coast. Coastguard was called out at 0100hrs when the Rakanui issued a ‘Pan Pan’ call and the Maritime NZ Rescue co-ordination centre sent Coastguard Canterbury to their aid.

When Mr Colyer arrived on Coastguard Canterbury’s vessel Pub Charity Canterbury Rescue, the two Rakanui crew were extremely exhausted and feeling the effects of a two-metre swell and noxious fumes from the fl ooded engine room.

He boarded with the Coastguard salvage pump, which he secured to the tug to pump out the seawater, working both above and below deck. Coastguard vessels Pub Charity Canterbury Rescue and Blue Arrow Rescue remained on the scene monitoring the tug and at the ready in case Mr Colyer and the tug crew

had to abandon ship.Mr Colyer was able to control the ingress of water

and maintain a level of water that allowed the tug to make its way under its own steam back to Lyttelton. The trip took over four hours at only fi ve knots. With both tug crew members exhausted, Mr Colyer stayed on board and helmed the Rakanui back to Lyttelton. During the voyage he had to frequently stop and prime the pump and clear water from the tug.

Mark Appleton, president Coastguard Canterbury, said that as one of the oldest members of Coastguard Canterbury, Mr Colyer continued to show great determination, attitude, stamina and grit.

“Nothing is too much trouble for Nelson; he sets a good example for everyone with his great sense of humour. We’re especially lucky to have his wealth of engineering experience.”

Mr Appleton said Coastguard Canterbury was very proud of Mr Colyer’s heroic achievement in this rescue.

SUMNER resident Amanda Cropp has come up with a great fundraiser to give something back to a generous Sumner business – Sumner Rocks T-shirts.

“I got the idea for them after hearing Mark Sainsbury on Close Up refer to Sumner as “the suburb that rocks” and was initially going to get some T-shirts printed with the slogan for immediate family. Then I decided it would be a good fundraiser to support local architects in the Urban Design Group, who have put in countless unpaid hours coming

up with a redesign of our battered commercial area.”

There are two designs available, both donated by local artist Jason Kelly. The Sumner Business Association helped fund the initial order, which were printed by Koru Print in Sydenham.

The T-shirts were a popular item at at the Celebrating Sumner Festival on September 4 and they are still available for $35 at design store Flock in Sumner village. $15 from each purchase goes to the Urban Design Group.

Fundraiser T-shirt says it all

Rock on: Flock owner Emma Smith, a member of the Sumner Business Association, selling the T-shirts at the Celebrating Sumner Festival.

Coming down: The old malt works, a dominating feature of the Heathcote Valley skyline, are being demolished to make way for a proposed new lifestyle village including about 60 villas for people aged over 55. The four-hectare malt works site has been through a string of owners since it closed in 1999 and the valley residents say the dilapidated buildings have become an attraction for vandals. Property Lifestyle Concepts (PLC Developments) bought the property last October and wants to build a village similar to its other projects including Northbrook Villas in Rangiora. PLC Developments said it could take up to eight months to clear the site and they still needed consent to demolish the tall concrete grain silos, which may be taken down using explosives. Spokeswoman Michelle Tait said they hoped to have the fi rst villa fi nished in January 2013 and the development could provide more options for red-zoned residents. Photo: Samantha Early

ONE of New Zealand’s most promising young engineers, Mathew Pascoe of Lyttelton Port Company, will showcase his skills at the 41st WorldSkills International competition being held next month in London.

The 21 year-old won the polymechanics skill category at the national WorldSkills competition in Christchurch last year, qualifying him to compete at this year’s international event as part of a 17-strong team of Tool Blacks.

“The nationals were defi nitely challenging,” Mr Pascoe said. “They were a bit of a head-scratcher and I had to work really hard.”

Winning the national event didn’t guarantee his selection, however. WorldSkills NZ CEO, Peter Spencer, interviewed and personally selected all 17 representatives not just for their outstanding trade skills, but

also for their qualities to become ambassadors for New Zealand throughout the competition.

WorldSkills International is held every two years with over 1000 of the world’s best young tradespeople (under 23 years of age) from 50 countries competing across 46 different trade-skill categories.

In preparation for the event Mr Pascoe is now perfecting his polymechanic skills, supported by his mentor Roland Spirig from the Waikato Institute of Technology – through which he completed two block courses to prepare for the competition. The two discuss training strategies and progress through regular email correspondence.

“We are working through previous competition projects to make sure we cover all facets of skill sets that Mat might need,” Mr Spirig said.

Polymechanics involves repairing and maintaining machines and systems in production plants. It is a culmination of skills, involving manufacturing, fi tting, milling, drilling and many more.

Entrants must complete a complex, practical project over an intense four days of competition, testing their planning, technical knowledge and skills in a high-pressure environment.

While most sector competitors are given their competition project to practise prior to the event, the polymechanics category is ‘blind’, making preparation challenging.

Funding has also been challeng-ing, with Christchurch businesses feeling the pinch lately. Mr Pascoe is grateful for the sponsorship he has received from Foodstuffs and other local businesses despite the tough times they are facing.

Precision skills: Matthew Pascoe hones his skills for the upcoming international competition.

SEVERAL Metro bus services that were disrupted due to the earthquakes have resumed.

AROUND 35 volunteers turned up at Cassels and Sons brewery in Woolston on Saturday, September 3 to clean up a one-kilometre stretch of the Heathcote river bank.

A whopping 1120 kg – four truckloads – of rubbish was gathered, which the Christchurch City Council disposed of on the following Monday. The rubbish included four TVs, six chairs, fi ve tyres, a bookcase, 12 metres of rubber matting, two sofas and eight buckets of human waste.

“We collected over a tonne of rubbish and had a great day,” organiser Zak Cassels said.

“This project is gathering momentum and we plan to do it two or three times a year.

We are able to be more effective with other local businesses joining in. Our thanks go to all volunteers and sponsors – CCC, Three Boys brewery and Breads of Europe.”

The volunteers were rewarded for their efforts with sausages and beer, which they enjoyed in the early spring sunshine.

Heathcote clean-up a whopping success

FOR about 100 Lyttelton locals, stitching, sunshine, entertainment and tasty treats marked the fi rst anniversary of the massive earthquake that shook people out of their beds at 4.35 on that fateful September morning last year.

The September 4 anniversary event, Lyttel Stitches, was held at the Lyttelton Petanque Club starting at 12 noon. Organiser Bettina Evans, who is the co-ordinator of the Lyttelton Timebank, said the idea behind the event was “to celebrate that we’re all still here”.

Participants were asked to stitch “medals” out of woollen fabric to recognise that “we’re all heroes who deserve a reward,”

she said. A total of about 50 medals were produced, with buttons, ribbons and other items being attached to complete them.

Keen knitters were also invited to join the stitching activities by knitting 30cm x 30cm squares, with the plan being that once enough of the squares have been made, they will be joined together to make a decorative cover for a container – like a tea cosy, but on a much larger scale.

Entertainment ranged from children performing hip hop dance to a duet playing classical music and a guitar soloist.

“For food, we had a barbeque, three different soups and a lady made a huge cake inscribed with the words ‘Still smiling’,” Ms

Evans said.“People also played petanque, and although

it had been scheduled to fi nish at two, it was nearly three o’clock by the time we fi nished up.”

“He kept some of the bacon for his family and donated the remainder to the teachers at the school, which I thought was very generous of him,” Mr Jennings said.

“Keep it Local Keep It Alive”


NEARLY a century and a half of service to the Catholic community of Lyttelton will come to an end this Sunday with the closure of the parish church of St Joseph the Worker in Lyttelton. The church was extensively damaged in the recent earthquakes and has to be demolished.

Parishioners and friends of St Joseph’s are invited to a farewell service starting 12.15pm, which will be followed by a bring-a-plate fi nger food luncheon on site at 18 Winchester Street, Lyttelton.

St Joseph’s has a rich history stretching back 146 years in Lyttelton. Designed by noted architect Benjamin Mountford, the church cost £1200 to build and was constructed from grey stone sourced from local quarries.

The foundation stone was laid on February 2, 1865 and the building was completed just fi ve months later. It was opened by the parish priest of Canterbury, Rev. Fr J.B Chataigner and his assistant Fr J.C.Chervier, on the feast of St Peter and Paul, June 29, 1865.

Besides daily Mass for more than a century, the church has witnessed many celebrations and commemorations over the years. Generations of Lytteltonians have been baptized, received fi rst Holy Communion and other sacraments, been married and later buried from within its grey stone walls.

A spiritual home for parishioners and visiting seafarers alike, St Joseph’s church will be sadly missed.

Historic church to close this Sunday

AS the co-ordinator of the Charlesworth Reserve maintenance team, I look forward to meeting up with my fellow volunteers every Sunday afternoon when we come together to assist Andrew Crossland, CCC park ranger, in this small but spectacular wetland reserve. Many of you probably drive past it daily from the hill suburbs via Humphries Drive and Linwood Avenue. Some of you may even be lucky enough to look down on it from your lounge or kitchen window.

Once farmland owned by Captain William Charlesworth, it is now being restored to its natural wetland status. Last year we planted 8000 tree seedlings, going on to (even more importantly) mulch the ground and keep it weed free, allowing seedlings to thrive in the relatively harsh environment, coping with strong winds and more recently snow, silt and way too much water.

Over the past two and a half years (since we started), our regular team of between eight and 10 keen locals has seen the reserve slowly but steadily turn into a wildlife haven.

Increasing numbers of birds seem to be agreeing that this is an awesome roosting place at high tide, while the number of tiny lizards darting around also indicates a successful restoration of this site.

If you too, need some ‘time out’ and enjoy getting your hands ‘dirty’ as you watch this reserve come alive before your eyes, come and join us one Sunday. We meet at the Charlesworth Street car park at 3pm and remove our gloves again at 5pm.

This is just one of many tasks the trust undertakes to follow its vision for our estuary – mm “communities working together for clean water, open space, safe

recreation and healthy ecosystems that we can all enjoy and respect”. We were thrilled to receive the invitation from the Bay Harbour News editor to submit articles to tell you all about the Ihutai Trust.

You will be able to read about the different functions of the trust in contributions from a number of members. Website; www.estuary.org.nz, or facebook.com/ihutai and twitter.com/ihutai.

Community groups / residents’ groups

I HAVE to confess that there are times when, as a fi rst-term community board member, I get a tad bewildered. There’s no doubt, of course, that the effect of the earthquakes on our ward has more than doubled the number of must-attend meetings and need-to-know matters, but underpinning all that is the day-to-day business of the board.

And it’s the revelations from one aspect of the board’s “business as usual” that have most pleasantly surprised me. Annually, the Hagley Ferrymead Community Board is responsible for the allocation of a total of $362,644 of ratepayers’ money in three pools of community grants. That’s in addition to the applications the board recommends to the full council to be included in metropolitan-funded grants.

Each year, council staff members carefully assess each application for grants from the Strengthening Communities fund and the Small Grants fund. Their assessment papers and recommendations are put to the board for decisions. Additionally, throughout the year, the board can consider applications for the Discretionary Fund and, included in that, is the Youth Development Fund.

And it’s reading through those applications that has revealed what a truly supportive community we live in!

It would be unfair to pick out any particular recipients because each organisation makes a standout contribution to its community sector – from welfare workers to community groups. And what a talented bunch of young people parade through the applications process, most usually seeking assistance toward attending a national or international sport or arts competition, and very often excelling!

Staring down the barrel of the biggest repair bill any ratepayers have faced in the history of New Zealand, it was only to be expected that the council might look carefully at trimming anything unnecessary. Community boards’ grants allocations were left untouched and any monies unallocated from 10/11 were, exceptionally, carried forward, so we can continue to help carry our communities forward. Good.

THE Mount Pleasant Farmers Market started as a response to a lack of nearby shops and availability of supplies. Just 10 days after the February quake the market opened with a blaze of publicity and support from Hamilton – free coffee, Darfi eld – free clean, drinkable water, free apples from Motueka and free chocolate from Governors Bay.

The initial event became a weekly event and the market has opened every Saturday since March 5. In spite of bad weather, sewer repairs, water main repairs, munted roads, rain, hail and snow, the market always opens. In the shadow of the condemned Community Centre the

community thrives.Fruit, vegetables, lettuces, chocolate, crepes,

Egyptian baking, plants, cheese, German sausages, free range pork and bacon, smoked salmon, fresh fi sh, honey, venison, garlic, home baking, lavender products, free range eggs, fl owers, Munted Tees and fresh coffee are normally available.

The market also supports local businesses, especially those in fi nancial diffi culties, local schools and charities, including the Linwood College Orchestra’s tour to Europe, and local musicians.

The market has become a valuable meeting

place for locals and a real focus for the Mount Pleasant community. The local community association fl ourishes with an information stall at the market, its own newsletter, Pleasant News, email lists, Facebook and more.

The market continues to grow and as we approach spring more seasonal produce is on its way, including asparagus, tomatoes, peppers, summer fruits, and an exciting new French chicken rotisserie. The support and involvement of the community have assured the future of the market.

Mount Pleasant Farmers Market has now expanded into Redcliffs and is operating every

Wednesday in the car park behind The Spur cafe.

Farmers markets are here to stay and are changing the face of food retailing. Fresh food from the farm to the table from local traders at reasonable prices, together with good, honest advice about nutrition and cooking tips make shopping at markets a fun, sociable and informative experience.

See you there – Mount Pleasant on Saturdays 10am to 1pm and Redcliffs on Wednesdays 2pm to 5pm.

Community groups / residents’ groups

THERE has been plenty of action over the past few weeks with the Redcliffs Residents Association.

We have had several meetings about developing a cycleway/walkway from the Ferrymead Bridge to Sumner and it’s now in the planning stages. It will be a wonderful recreational facility for our local residents and visitors too.

The good news is that we have formed a committee with members from the Mount Pleasant, Redcliffs and Sumner residents groups, which we have named the Coastal Committee Group.

This will mean we’re not wasting time and money by doubling up and crossing over with our various activities – after all, we are all in this together.

It’s great to experience the positive attitude being shown by the community and seeing how everyone is supporting each other.

One example is all the churches in the area helping people out – especially the elderly.

We have also noted that there are a lot of people coming back to Redcliffs or moving down from the hillsides out of their red-stickered homes, and this is

creating a shortage of rental properties in our area. We’re not surprised that people want to live here – it’s such a pleasant, relaxing place to be.

The planning of a new shopping complex for Redcliffs is progressing well.

We have been speaking to a number of property developers and have had a positive response from them Redcliffs School has now relocated to the van Asch Deaf Education Centre site and we hear the children are loving their new surroundings – quiet and park-like, with no fear of rockfalls.

They also see the bus trip to school as an adventure. But we hope their stay in Sumner will be temporary and that they will be back in Redcliffs at some point.

If you need any information about what’s happening around the area, or want to pass on some news, pop into our offi ce on Beachville Road, just around the corner from Main Road, or phone us on 0800 234 565. We are open Monday to Friday 9am-4pm.

Climbing challenges on monument to earthquake yearA NEW addition to the playground at Heathcote Valley School serves as a somewhat ironic monument to the year we’ve had so far. It is in the form of an ar-tifi cial climbing rock modelled on the ‘original’ Castle Rock.

Castle Rock, which serves as a key part of the school’s logo, was badly damaged in the February and June earthquakes and is now a much different shape from what it was previously.

Peter Taw from Star Holds was commissioned to design an ar-tistic copy of the original Castle Rock. Peter, who is an accomplished climber and mountaineer in his own right, used his experience to create a variety of climb-ing challenges without the use of any artifi cial climb-ing holds. A number of ledges and fi nger holds allow students to traverse around the rock walls. For many students right now, their sole aim is to get to the top followed by their best impersonation of a Bear Grylls’ jump and roll.

The climbing rock was constructed from a polysty-rene inner shell, with many layers of blown concrete

leading to its fi nal shape. The rock stands three metres high at its highest point and is about six metres long.

The school is very indebted to the Lion Foundation and the Canterbury Community Trust for their fi nancial support to create the rock. Trees for Canterbury donat-ed plants and shrubs to add to the area, Dave Boreham Couriers Limited provided a Hiab for extra rocks to be collected from Morgan’s Valley, and a dedicated group

of parents supported a working bee to add the fi nal touches.

Following February and June’s earthquakes, our school has been unable to use its library and an adjacent classroom built in 2008, because of structural damage. With the support of the Ministry of Education, we are excited about the opening of two relocated classrooms that will serve as our temporary library and teaching space.

We are also very proud of our head boy, Harley Porter, who won six gold medals at the recent Wharenui Winter Olympics.

He also took out the age-group trophy for male swimmers in Canterbury.

Challenged: Students test their climbing skills on ‘Castle Rock.’

Sumner School

AS rugby posts begin to be pulled down and cricket pitches are prepared, Sumner School children have again shown resilience and spirit as they refl ect on another successful season of winter sport. This year, the years 7 and 8 Sumner School sports teams distinguished themselves, with the A and B Grade netball teams both winning their leagues and senior soccer taking second place in a hotly contested fi nal against Kaipoi Borough.

Sumner teams made the most of the modifi ed series of playoffs held to determine the teams that would represent the Southeast Zone in the Canterbury Winter Tournament.

Our girls’ junior netball and junior soccer overcame a strong challenge by Mount Pleasant School and our senior netball team triumphed over Heathcote Valley School to win their places in the tournament held on September 8 in Hagley Park. were the The year 5 and 6 hockey and rugby teams also won the right to represent the Southeast Zone.

The Canterbury Winter Tournament was well run with a high level of competition and skill on display from children around the Canterbury region. Sumner School did their school, community and the Southeast Zone proud, exhibiting the SURFER values of respect and fairness and gaining very creditable results. Following the fi nal placings Sumner School ranks in Canterbury primary schools as follows: hockey 7th, junior netball 12th, junior

soccer 9th, junior rugby 10th, senior netball 5th.

Sumner School sport co-ordinator Chris Cole said, “I think we can put the success of our sports teams down to a combination of things: very talented kids, dedicated coaches, the value Sumner School and the community places on sport and making the most of opportunities when they arise.”

Having Redcliffs School on site provided the opportunity for additional games against a friendly rival in addition

to the regular Friday sport.In staffi ng news, ICT

lead teachers Rachel Dippie and Andrew Osborne were the 2011 winners of the Sumner School staff scholarship enabling them to attend the Boys in Technology Conference and visit schools in Melbourne.

The conference looked at using mobile technologies such as iPads to improve learning in the classroom and also explored issues facing educators and learners in the class of 2025. The school visits allowed them to observe teaching practices involving ICT, interactive whiteboards and mobile learning devices.

To further support Sumner School’s long-term goal to be an exemplar school for ICT, principal Stuart Cameron attended the International Principal Conference in Toronto and visited schools in North America that integrate information and communication technology into the curriculum.

Talent and dedication pay off in sports competition

JUST when we think we are over the earthquakes, bang, another one comes along to remind us how fragile the earth is. It is a frustrating time for everyone, but at the end of the day when I walk the beat I still see people smiling and getting on with life.

One thing I have noticed is that people are still using cell phones when driving. Research indicates that the use of a cell phone by drivers increases the probability of their being involved in a crash. The other fact is that if you are caught when driving while talking on the cell phone it’s a fi ne of $80

and 20 demerit points.Crime-wise here in Lyttelton and the Bays we

have seen a reduction in most offending, which is a positive sign for the community. However, Police will continue to patrol risk areas and try to ensure that these statistics remain on the positive side of the ledger.

We still need the community’s help, though, as there is still the odd low-life that will take the opportunity to commit crime if they think they can get away with it. So,

if there is someone suspicious in your street, or knocking on doors looking for a lost dog, or friend, be suspicious. Check the validity of the person, and if you are not happy ring the Police on 111 and we will come and check them out. I would rather my staff fi nd the person is OK than let a criminal get away with committing crime.

Anyway that’s it from me, be safe out there, and look after each other.

ST JOHN has a long history in New Zealand – 126 years in fact. And it all started in Christchurch.

St John was formed by a collection of community-minded citizens in May 1885, and one of the important early initiatives the organisation took was teaching fi rst aid to members of the public.

This teaching played a key role in a seemingly innocuous sporting event in 1891. On Saturday, July 4, a rugby match took place in Sydenham between Sydenham and Addington Rugby Football Clubs. One of the players, 23 year-old William Larcombe, was injured during the match and was knocked unconscious.

A bystander, William Bowden, ran on to the fi eld and administered fi rst aid to the injured man, who had a broken collarbone.

According to the St John Christchurch Centre annual report of that year, Bowden “immediately rendered fi rst aid by what materials he had at hand, such as a cap folded for a pad under the armpit, a scarf from his own neck for a bandage”.

This was the fi rst recorded incident of fi rst aid on the rugby fi eld, and it was the start of a long tradition of St John being involved with rugby.

Many of our ambulance offi cers began their St John careers as youth cadets or events volunteers, turning up every Saturday at Burnside Park, Nunweek Park, Hagley Park, as well as many of the other playing fi elds in the city. Standing on the sidelines and braving the chilly conditions they were ready to treat any injured players.

During the last fi nancial year, St John attended over 9500 events across New Zealand, including 1459 rugby union games. Now, with the Rugby World Cup competition underway, St John is busy right across the country. We are working closely with health services and other emergency services, and utlising specialist equipment including mobile fi rst aid units, golf carts, segways, bicycle paramedics and motorcycle units.

Although we do not have any Rugby World Cup games in Christchurch, let’s celebrate our historic links to rugby in Christchurch – which continue to this day. St John ambulance offi cers can still be seen on the sideline throughout winter, helping out when required.

PERFECT weather and a large turnout of locals and visitors ensured the success of the Celebrate Sumner Festival, which took place on the Esplanade on Sunday, September 4.

The aim of the festival was to commemorate the fi rst anniversary of the September 4, 2010 earthquake, the fi rst in the devastating series of earthquakes that have hit Christchurch and Canterbury over the last 12 months.

It was also an opportunity for the hundreds of people to forget about

the traumatic events for a few hours as they relaxed and celebrated their resilience as a community, while they enjoyed the spring sunshine, the food and market stalls, music and children’s entertainment.

A poignant note to the day was the big hug, which took place on the beach at 3.30pm to coincide with the group hug that was held in the city.

The event was also a fundraiser for the future of Sumner, which will include redevelopment of the badly damaged business area.

Sumner celebrations a great success

Sunshine and fun: Crowds enjoy the atmosphere.

Togetherness: Joining hands for the ‘ big hug.’

Music: Chris Williams entertains.

Colour: Giant balloons on Cave Rock add to the festivities.

“Most home buyers (as opposed to investors) want to feel a strong attraction to the property they purchase,” Greg Powell, Licensed Manager of Harcourts Ferrymead said. “After all, they are going to live in it. But they also have to make the right investment decision because their enjoyment of the property can be spoiled if, further down the track when they go to re-sell, they realise they paid too much or made a poor investment.”Greg said that the key to both financial and emotional success is doing your homework thoroughly before you purchase.“You can speed up the research process by making sure you look at all the properties that satisfy your basic criteria, including those that don’t sound like your ideal home,” Greg said. “Even properties that don’t appeal are relevant for building up a portfolio and getting a handle on price trends, particularly in the current post quake market.”Greg said that many intending purchasers turn down the opportunity of inspecting properties in their price range simply because they “don’t appeal”.“But the more properties you see in your price range in a short space of time, the sooner you will be ready to buy,” Greg said. “And you’re less likely to end up seeing your dream home early in the piece and feeling you’re not ready to make an offer.”Greg advised purchasers to take a notebook with them and jot down their comments for later comparison and cross referencing.“Use every available information source,” Greg said. “When you see a signboard with a sold sticker on it, ring the agent and find out what the property sold for. Make sure you follow up all the houses you have inspected. Did they sell quickly and if so how much for?”Greg said that most professional agents will provide information about recent sales and welcome the opportunity to supply you with further relevant data.“Remember you need to look at a lot of properties to feel to feel confident you have a trend or a pattern emerging,” Greg said. “If you know what ten or twelve properties have actually sold for within a ten thousand dollar range of your budget, you’re probably ready to walk into a house and say I like this one, and I’m prepared to pay x dollars for it.”

The purchase of real estate usually has two key components; one is emotional, the other financial.


YOUNG learners at Pebbles Preschool in Sumner, which opened 18 months ago, have had fun role-playing in the construction of the school’s new play area.

“John Allen designed and created the play area, with a dedicated team of helpers!,” said director Belinda Slade. “Earthquake play has been the focus amongst many of the children, and we have seen lots of role-play builders, construction workers, fi re engines and diggers as well as EQC inspectors with red stickers.

“The playground was planned well before the ground started shaking last year and it is

now complete. We have all enjoyed taking part in the planning process, building and creating something for all our learners to enjoy,” Ms Slade said.

“With so much uncertainty surrounding us and many of our families being displaced, the creative construction has been reassuring to all of us. Notwithstanding all the earthquake disruption this year, it’s great to see the children enjoying the changes in their outside environment.

“We are planning on having an offi cial opening of the play area on Saturday, October 1 from 11am to 2pm – all families warmly

welcome! We are hoping to have a sausage sizzle, bouncy castle and face painting on the day and are wondering whether our four year-olds should write to Bob Parker to see if he can cut the ribbon.

“As well as the outside environment having a ‘lift’, we have updated our technology inside and now have two Imac computers and an Ipad touch for our learners to stay ahead of the game! Our learners are encouraged to follow their interests and fi nd answers to their many questions such as ‘why are the walls cracked and the roads bumpy?’” Ms Slade said.

Young ‘builders’ help create their new play area

Helping out: Playground designer John Allen with two of his helpers, Joel Barrie and Cameron Aldridge.

IT was a cold day in May when Dave McCosh, Fletcher EQR (Earthquake Recovery) contract supervisor visited Elizabeth and Donald Johns, on Beach Road in Akaroa.

The couple’s Summerhill stone home had lost two chimneys in the September quake. They were reliant on a one-bar heater as their main source of heat.

“Is that your only form of heating?” Mr McCosh asked. Mrs Johns replied it was.

Not quite believing this elderly couple, both in their 80s, were managing with such little heat, he asked the question again. Mrs Johns nudged him and spoke close to his ear, “Are you hard of hearing?” she asked.

Mr McCosh was humbled by the resilience and quiet acceptance of the situation shown by Mr and Mrs Johns, whose family has been in Akaroa for six generations.

Mrs Johns is a quarter French with her great-grandfather having arrived in the

township aboard the Compte de Paris. Emergency repair work was organised to

remove one of the chimneys and get a heat pump installed.

The second chimney was made safe and further work on that, including the installation of a log burner, was to be part of the second wave of repair work.

Contractor Kevin Templeton, a well-known builder in the Akaroa area for the last 30 years, carried out the repairs.

Elderly couple shows post-quake resilience

Warm again: Elizabeth and Donald Johns in their now-cosy Akaroa home.

KEEN surfi es and swimmers will be pleased to know the health warning has been lifted at Christchurch beaches. Canterbury Medical Offi cer of Health Dr Alistair Humphrey said Christchurch beaches were now suitable for recreational water use.

Aaron Lock, director of a Sumner surfi ng school, said he was “stoked to fi nally have the beach back”.

“It’s been a long six months of travelling for Christchurch surfers to fi nd clean water.

“To be able to surf again at Scarborough and Sumner is fantastic. We can fi nally have some fun close to town and get a some sense of normality back.”

LIKE many Christchurch schools, Bamford School in Woolston has felt the effects of the Christchurch earthquakes, including a decrease in student numbers.

“Our school has lost about 15 students due to the earthquake on February 22,” principal Colin Hammond said, “but the staff and students are just so resilient. Some staff have even been arriving at school and showering because their own homes have had no power/water etc. I personally can’t believe how committed staff have been after such adversity.”

Recently the school decided to “bring a little sunshine into the community” Mr Hammond said.

“We are doing this by having after-school art classes. Vivienne Bashford, a retired art teacher, is coming into

our school and running art sessions for groups of our children. The aim is two-fold – to brighten up some of the people and the places in our community with the drawings and artwork of our young ones, and to provide some of our students with an opportunity to explain their feelings and sensations after the earthquakes.”

Mr Hammond said that the way the community had become part of the school was also unique.

“Not long ago we held a disco at school that was run by our year 7-8 students and a large part of our community turned out. People want to be together during this time and to talk about some of the things that others are going through. Everyone loves sharing their stories.”

Children show empathy by sharing art

Tuition: Art teacher Vivienne Bashford works with Alecia Woodgate.

Young painter: Shadae Dempsey displays her artwork.

THE roar of the crowd, spine-tingling anthems blaring and walking out in front of a worldwide television audience of millions have created lifelong memories for Mt Pleasant School pupil, Oliver Odlin.

The eight-year-old rugby fan, who plays for Sumner Rugby Club, was selected as an ANZ Future Captain and led England on to the fi eld with captain Mike Tindall when they played Argentina last Saturday in Dunedin.It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity

for the youngster, who also stood beside the players as they sang their national anthem. His grandfather Roger Turner accompanied him on his trip to Dunedin.The Woolston ANZ branch manager Jenna Hyland presented Oliver with a cap and badge at school on Friday morning.

He is one of 96 children from around New Zealand who have been selected as ANZ Future Captains and will walk on to the fi eld with a Rugby World Cup 2011 captain.

Memories for young rugby player

Proud moment: Pictured at Mt Pleasant School are Roger Turner, Oliver Odlin’s grandfather, Oliver, wearing his cap and holding a small replica of the Web Ellis Cup, and ANZ branch manager Jenna Hyland.

Something special from our award winning chef Phillip Inwood


Earthquake damage limits club’s facilitiesTHE Sumner Tennis Club’s facilities were hit quite badly by the quake.

Two of the four tennis courts are severely cracked, while the other two have sustained less surface damage but have slumped in places resulting in an uneven surface.

The squash courts also suffered and only one of the three courts is suitable for competition play. One of the damaged courts is usable for social play.

The good news is that the buildings have been inspected and are safe to occupy and the club has full insurance cover, which we hope will allow our facilities to be reinstated to pre-earthquake condition.

TennisWe do not have an offi cial opening day planned at this time but

have completed our annual junior registration day, which resulted in approximately 95 juniors signing up for coaching and interclub tennis.

The club hopes to enter teams into the Canterbury Tennis senior interclub competitions, last year we had fi ve men’s and women’s teams.

Unfortunately, this year we will not have the same numbers as some of our members have moved away from Christchurch for obvious reasons. The Cashmere Club has generously offered our club the use

of its courts as home courts for senior interclub. The club has a resident coach who coaches both junior and senior players.

SquashWe have an active band of squash players and

currently there are four men’s and two women’s teams playing in the Squash Canterbury interclub competition. Quite a few of our club members play both tennis and squash.

The club is open to new members and offers the use of both tennis and squash facilities under a single subscription. We hope to have repairs to the earthquake damage started soon so that our facilities can be returned to top playing standards as soon as possible.

Bamford School, in Woolston, caught Rugby World Cup fever on Friday by holding a parade with different classes representing some of the international teams competing for the Web Ellis Cup.

PAGE 21WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 14, 2011 SPORT

THE Naval Point Club Lyttelton is preparing for a busy sailing season over the summer of 2011-12. The facilities at Lyttelton have come through the earthquakes unscathed. Given the damage and limited access to sailing clubs on the estuary, the club is expecting to play host to an increased number of sailors displaced from their home waters, as happened after the September quake.

After a quiet season last year there are six national championship titles to be decided on Lyttelton’s waters this season:

Two Trailer yacht classes – Noelex 22 and Ross 780 will compete on February 4-6, followed by the spectacular R Class skiffs on February 23-26.

The 420 class, mainly sailed by teenagers, will hold their nationals on March 8-11. As this is also a selection trial for the New Zealand team for the World Youth Champs, we expect a big turnout.

The OK dinghies return to Canterbury for the fi rst time in many years on March 16-20. This is the class in which Lyttelton local Peter Lester won the World Championship in 1977.

The Olympic Finn Class will be competing at the same time to select their New Zealand champion.

Last but not least the NZ Sea Scout regatta will

be held at the club over Easter weekend, April 5-12, 2012.

Opening day for the club is Saturday, October 24 at the Magazine Bay clubrooms. There will be racing for all classes starting at 1pm followed by the offi cial season opening ceremony at 4pm.

Learn to SailThe recent tour of East Coast ports by Emirates

Team NZ’s, entry in the Volvo Round the World Race, “Camper,” raised some funds to be used for ‘Learn to Sail’ for the children of Christchurch.

With this support, Naval Point Club Lyttelton is running a week of ‘Learn to Sail’ from October 10-14 (fi rst week of the school holidays). This is open to any local children who would like to ‘Have a Go’. The course is fi ve half-day sessions, morning or afternoon.

All boats and safety equipment is provided and bookings are essential. The club has already received a high level of interest. If you’d like your child to try the sport of yachting for a modest cost, contact the club on 328-7029 or [email protected].

Ken Camp is the secretary/manager of the Naval Point Club, Lyttelton

Looking forward to a busy season
