AS John Thawley, retiring principal of Lyttelton Main School, looks back over his 40 years of teaching, he says that among the many children he’s “had the privilege of teaching, there are always some who spring to mind”.

“There are individual children with some unique feature about them you remember – their personality or just the way they are. And appearances don’t show everything,” Mr Thawley says.

“I’ve also had the privilege of working

with some fantastic principals, teachers and administration staff.”

Mr Thawley has taught at seven schools, starting with Opawa School in 1972. His main focus has been in two areas – outdoor education and IT.

“I am an outdoor education-type person. That and introducing computers into schools have been what I’ve enjoyed – ICT has been one of my work and personal strengths.

“At my second school, Chisnallwood Intermediate, the principal Jack Taylor

showed me how outdoor education could be tied into the curriculum.”

Mr Thawley taught sailing and other outdoor skills and helped set up the Jack Taylor Camp at Takamatua.

“Learning to handle uncomfortable and diffi cult situations helps children across all areas of their education. It also gives them resilience in life - a lot of town kids don’t have that.”

He also enjoyed teaching mathematics and written English. Continued on page 3

Bells safely storedChristine de Felice

THE 13 bells that regularly rang out from the bell tower at Christ Church Cathedral have found a temporary home at Ferrymead Historic Park.

After being damaged in their tumble from the tower when it collapsed in February’s earthquake, the bells were moved to Ferrymead last month where they are currently stored. Next year they will be shipped to England for the needed repairs.

“Four of the bells will need

recasting and all of them will need to have their fi ttings replaced – the clappers, the headstock, the wheels, the ropes and the pulley boxes,” ringing master Mike Clayton said.

A date for shipping has not yet been set; however, the shipping costs will be met by shipping company Maersk, Mr Clayton said.

The bells will be repaired by Leicestershire company John Taylor & Co. Peter Hayward, a representative from the company,

visited Christchurch recently to inspect the bells and assess the damage.

“The bells will not come back to Christchurch until there is a tower to house them,” Mr Clayton said.

Christ Church steeple keeper Dudley Berry would like to see a temporary tower built at Ferrymead for the bells until a new permanent home is built.

The bells are cast in bronze and the total weight of the 13 bells is about seven metric tonnes.

Damage: Ringing master Mike Clayton points out a crack on bell number fi ve from its tumble during the earthquake.

A Christmas gala for Mt Pleasant residents CHRISTMAS shopping will take on a local twist on Friday week, with the Sort Yourself with Christmas Gifts Gala being held at Mt Pleasant School.

Marty Anderson, chairman of the school board, came up with the idea as a way of bringing something pleasant and positive to the Mt Pleasant community, which was badly affected by the earthquakes.

“He also wanted to give business people that had lost their premises in the earthquakes an opportunity to sell their unique products,” parent and co-organiser Sheila Brown said.

“We have been a community that has been ‘munted’ by the quakes, but enjoy the opportunities we get to gather together. That, rather than fundraising, was the motivation for organising this event.”

A $10 fee is charged to stall holders, which will go to the school. However, the money they make on the day of the gala will go to them, Ms Brown said.

“There are several stall holders that are donating all their money, or at least 50 per cent of their profi ts to Mt Pleasant School or another charity. This is so generous and an added bonus,” she said.

Dozens of stalls will be selling several products such as a range of children’s gift lines, jewellery, sweets, clothing, design-your-own T-shirts, and artworks. There will also be a variety of food available at the event including wood-fi red pizzas.

“People will be able to do their Christmas shopping and then have tea on our fi eld and a coffee while enjoying one of the best views in town of our city,” Ms Brown said.

The gala is being held at the Mt Pleasant School on Friday, December 2 from 3.30pm to 6.30pm.

Camps & computers mark careerContinued from page 1

Mr Thawley next spent fi ve years as deputy principal at Lyttelton West, where he was the fi rst teacher in New Zealand to buy a computer for school use.

“I had to get special permission to get the teacher discount – the computer was a Commo-dore 64 and it cost $800.”

Using a computer as a learning centre was quite unusual at the time, he says.

During his four years there, 1981-1985, there was intense rivalry between Lyttelton West and Lyttelton Main, Mr Thawley says.

“The children wouldn’t even go on the same bus.”

He helped to change the situation and says it is far more positive these days.

At Kaiapoi Borough School, where he was deputy principal and also acting principal for several months, he introduced sailing to the cur-riculum, taking students on the Waimakariri.

He also started using a computer for record keeping, realising its potential in that area.

His next position was as deputy principal at Shirley Intermediate. During his 11 years there, Mr Thawley had a year on teacher exchange at Rouge Boultion School on Jersey, taking his wife Judi with him.

“That was a fantastic experience, a life-chang-ing experience,” he says.

He joined Lyttelton Main as principal in July 1999.

“This has been the crowning cap of my whole career.”

He says a small incident that happened before he started showed him he was coming into a positive environment.

“I went to have a look at the school in the hol-idays before I was due to start. There were two young lads in the playground and they asked me if I was the new principal and offered to show me round. I saw that as a very good sign.

“During my fi rst term I was asked what my goal for the school was. After a few months working on it I decided it was for the school to be a safe and happy learning environment.

“One of the striking things I’ve seen at Lyttelton Main has been the change in fundraising driven by the parents - seeing what can be done when a group of people work together.

“At our fi rst art auction in 2003 we raised $36,000. Two years later we had our second one and raised $75,000. We invited the other two schools in Lyttelton to be part of it and the funds were shared across the three schools. It was the parents from all three schools working together to make sure their children could have the extra things.”

Mr Thawley is retiring earlier than he would have liked to due to health issues. He believes he has achieved what he set out to do and that Lyttelton Main School will continue to develop.Time to sit back: John Thawley relaxes in his

Mt Pleasant garden.

Living Springs to benefi t from Lyttelton stage cover

AFTER bringing more than its fair share of drama, it seems the stage cover used for open-air performances of Macbeth in Lyttelton has found a happy ending at Living Springs.

The stage and its cover had been set up on the site of the former Volcano Café and neighbouring shops to enable The Loons, Shakespeare production to take place in August and September. This was as a result of earthquake damage to the theatre company’s building.

Project Lyttelton and Volcano Café owner Pete Evans had wanted to maintain the stage for further performances until The Loons could reopen. However the structure’s reclassifi cation as permanent rather than temporary by Christchurch City Council meant a new list of reports and requirements had to be completed.

As a result, maintaining the venue was deemed too

expensive and time-consuming and the decision was made to wind the site up and sell the stage cover.

After fruitless attempts to sell it via online auctions, the cover has now been gifted to Living Springs in Allandale where it is expected to serve the many children who visit the camp.

Living Springs’ general manager Denis Aldridge said camp staff had “some idea” what they would use the stage for but would take around a month to decide on the specifi cs.

“It will provide something quite cool for little people,” he said.

“A lot of community groups and schools use the place and we’re continually trying to create these community spaces and gathering spaces that pull them in together into a pretty cool sort of environment.”

Tom Doudney

LYTTELTON residents and business people can now have their say on the town’s draft master plan which was released for public consultation on Saturday.

The draft Sydenham master plan was released at the same time.

Christchurch City Council healthy environment programme manager Jenny Ridgen said community leaders, land and business owners and local residents had been instrumental in developing the plan.

“It is now crucial that we hear back from them at this vital stage in the master planning process.”

Mayor Bob Parker said the release of the draft master plans was an important step towards returning investor and community confidence in the areas.

“We want to see business, employment and housing opportunities and the creation of liveable,

prosperous and vibrant suburban centres. To do this we need direction from our residents and business people and I would therefore encourage people to comment.”

Comments can be made online at www.ccc.govt.nz/haveyoursay ; emailed to [email protected] ; posted to Draft Lyttelton Master Plan, Freepost 178, Christchurch City Council, PO Box 73012, Christchurch 8154; or delivered to the council’s civic offices, 53 Hereford Street, Christchurch or any open council service centre.

The council will also hold drop-in sessions where people can view the draft master plan, discuss its contents with council staff and make submissions.

These will be at the Lyttelton Recreation Centre, 25 Winchester St on Wednesday, December 7 between 1.30pm and 6pm, and on Saturday, December 10 between 10am and 4pm.

Cholmondeley benefi ts from charity ball and auctionA DONATION of $50,000 from the Rotary Club of Christchurch Charitable Trust has signifi cantly boosted the Cholmondeley Children’s Charity coffers.

The children’s care facility in Governors Bay was seriously damaged in this year’s earthquakes and will be rebuilt.

The funds were raised through the Rotary Club of Christchurch’s Kids should have a Ball fundraiser.

The event has been run for 15 years, but earlier this year it looked unlikely a ball could be held in 2011 because of the damage to the Christchurch Convention Centre, where it has been held for many years.

The service group also thought it could be inappropriate to stage a gala ball when so many families and businesses were suffering.

In fact, it was for this reason that the ball/fundraiser proceeded.

“We saw that the need was greater than ever, and as we did some simple market research it was clear that the people of Christchurch needed a reason to party up, and what better than a fundraiser for Cholmondeley,” chairman of the ball organising committee Neil Blanchfi eld said.

During the ball a dozen items were auctioned, which raised $47.000. Items up for auction included a Harrods teddy bear (offered every year), an overnight sailing on the HMNZS Canterbury, a return fl ight for two to Europe with Emirates, a cocktail party for 40 at the Tuck shop (CBS Arena), and a fl ight in a Harvard aeroplane.

This grant brings the total raised by this ball for Canterbury’s children’s charities over the 15 years to almost $900,000. Cholmondeley has been the recipient of this grant since 2008.

The cheque was presented to Cholmondeley representatives on site last Wednesday.

Handover: Shelley Keach, fundraiser for Cholmondeley, Neil Blanchfi eld chairman of the Rotary Ball committee and Shane Murdoch general manager of Cholmondeley receiving the $50,000 cheque from David Broughton, president of the Rotary Club Of Christchurch and Jim Morrow, treasurer of the Rotary Charitable Trust.

Redcliffs Library back on Main Road

Book talk: Library member Valerie Egnot, left, chats to committee president Jan McLauchlan and librarian Eve Buckler about a book she has read.

THE thud of tennis balls bouncing on asphalt has been replaced with the more subdued sounds of pages turning and book covers being gently closed – the Redcliffs Library has a new home in the Redcliffs Tennis Club building.

After being damaged in the February earthquake the original library building on Main Road was red-stickered following the June quake.

“The EQC assessors thought it could be fi xed after February but then the June quake fi nished it off,” president of the library committee Jan McLauchlan said.

“The building was yellow-stickered and we were given 24 hours to remove our 30,000 books before they red-stickered it.”

Half a dozen volunteers turned up to remove the books with the numbers soon swelling to about 30, which included members, partners and people walking past, Mrs McLauchlan said.

The books were piled up in a nearby garage where they remained until the library service was offered space at the croquet and bowls club premises in James Street. However, the start of the summer bowling season meant the

library had to fi nd yet another home – this time it is in the clubrooms at the Redcliffs Tennis Club.

The courts were badly damaged in the February earthquake and the club is no longer in operation.

“It was a wonderful opportunity to again be offered a place for the library,” Mrs McLauchlan said.

New shelves were purchased and installed and the books were relocated from James Street using three trailers. There was plenty of space in the clubrooms but not enough to hold all the books from the original library, so some were still in storage, she said.

Thirty cartons of books were donated to Rotary Bookarama for fundraising and others are being sold at the Redcliffs farmers market.

The library would like to rebuild on its original site, but the land is under the control of the city council and the library committee doesn’t know when a new library would be built, Mrs McLauchlan said.

“It is our dream to be back in a permanent library on that site. The library has been going for 98 years and we would like to get to 100.”

Information and advice for seniors

PRUE Stringer and John Westerman, above, were among those who called in to the Sumner Bowling Club last Wednesday for the Senior Expo. Organised by the Sumner Bays Union Trust the expo is designed to show local senior people the various agencies and services available locally and city wide. It also aims to reduce social isolation and foster health and well-being by encouraging participation in recreation and the community.

Senior expo: A one-stop shop for information.

Council concerned for residents’ safetyEFFORTS are being made by the Christchurch City Council to ensure Port Hills residents do not remain in homes that are in danger of geotechnical risks like rockfall, cliff collapse and landslide.

About 500 homes have been issued notices prohibiting entry under section 124 of the Building Act for geotechnical reasons because of the signifi cant risk created by recent earthquakes.

The council has issued the notices because it was considered dangerous to live in the homes and public safety had been the top priority.

Council general manager regulation and democracy services Peter Mitchell said the council was extremely concerned for the safety of any residents in this situation and urged them to heed the Building Act notices for their own safety.

“Where enforcement is required those property owners will be served with a notice to fi x - this is effectively an immediate order to vacate the property.”

Further enforcement activity could follow if the notice to fi x was not observed.

“While we understand that it is diffi cult for people who cannot be in their homes, we must make safety the number one priority.

The notices have been issued for good reason and it is very important that people follow them,” Mr Mitchell said


Pizza challenge reveals masterful young chefs

Taste test: Judges Geoff Cavill, left, Constable Dean Stevenson, and Chris Rewha had the task of choosing the best pizza.

FOURTEEN budding master chefs put their pizza-making skills to the test at a pizza challenge held recently at Fer-rymead restaurant, Winnie Bagoes.

The event was held to mark Foster Care Awareness Week.

“It was very very successful and the kids really enjoyed it,” organiser Adele Sherry, a social worker on the Child, Youth and Family (CYF) caregiver liai-son team, said.

The 14 youngsters, all from foster care, were asked to submit their recipes for se-lection and all the recipes were accepted for the challenge, Ms Sherry said.

“They practised making their pizzas the night before and they took it very seri-ously and were really precise. It was just great to see them enjoying themselves. Most of their carers and some of their social workers were there cheering them on.”

The pizzas were judged by Geoff Cavill of Winnie Bagoes, Constable Dean Ste-venson from the NZ Police community liaison team, and Chris Rewha, CYF site manager for Sydenham.

A dessert pizza placed third, a savoury pizza second, and the winner was another dessert pizza called Pineapple Express, designed and made by a 10-year-old boy.

Mike Knowles, also of Winnie Bagoes, was very impressed with the winning piz-za and has included it on the kids’ menu.

“It will be on the menu for at least six months and if it proves really popular, we will keep it on,” he said.

The Banks Peninsula Zone Committee was set up under the Canterbury Water Management Strategy and had its launch in September.

The committee consists of five community members, four Rūnanga representatives, and appointees from Environment Canterbury and Christchurch City Council.

The committee is charged with working with the community to develop a programme of recommendations on how to sustainably manage the zone’s water resource for future generations.

The committee is holding a series of public meetings to give the community a chance to meet the committee and provide feedback on water issues in the zone.

If you would like to attend one of the meetings please let Bronwyn Hardaker know by phoning 03 365 3828 or emailing [email protected].

The committee is looking forward to engaging with people who are passionate about local water management.

Meeting details Monday 28 November 7-9pm – Living Springs auditorium, Bamfords Road, Allandale, Lyttelton Harbour

Tuesday 29 November 7-9pm – Little River Rugby Clubrooms, Main Road, Little River

Tuesday 6 December 7-9pm – Gaiety Hall, Rue Jolie, Akaroa

How we manage water is a key factor influencing our quality of life and prosperity both now and for future generations.


Volunteer fi refi ghters trained to a high standardYOUR local volunteer fi re brigade relies on the fellow members of your community for its membership. Right now, there are six in Christchurch: Brooklands, New Brighton, Sumner, Lyttelton, Governors Bay, and Diamond Harbour. Depending on the make-up of the brigade and the appliances it uses, this can be anything from having 12 to 40 men and women from throughout the local area who are willing to give up their time to protect your life and property and that of your neighbours. Volunteer fi refi ghters train to a high standard so that they are prepared to respond to a variety of incidents. The nature of most brigades sees the regular training sessions conducted on weeknights. Therefore, you may expect to see the brigade’s vehicles out and about in your community’s streets during some training sessions, as well as at other times attending to incidents, delivering education sessions, or attending public events. Quite often, the brigade’s training tries to emulate real incidents so do not be surprised if you see what appears to be a house fi re with very little smoke, or a casualty who gets up and

simply walks away during these sessions. The brigades really try not to disrupt the daily activities and peace in the community, but sometimes an exercise may involve a temporary interruption to traffi c fl ow. For this we do apologise, but we hope that you can tolerate our efforts for the short time that we are there. During both actual incidents and training sessions, we try to keep the incident ground safe by excluding the people who are not actually involved. We do, however, encourage communication with the public and you can usually capture our attention by standing at a safe distance and waving at us. This also encourages the fi refi ghters involved as it shows that other people in the community are interested in what they are doing. We look forward to seeing you about on our streets – we might even wave back! Recent calls for the Sumner Volunteer Fire Brigade: October 2 – motor vehicle crash; October 11 – street lights on fi re; October 19 – four calls for fl ooding due to rain; October 19 – alarm activation; October 20 – alarm activation; October 25 – gas leak; and October 30 – rubbish bin fi re.

Recognition: Bob Palmer, right, is congratualted by Chris Price of UFBA after receiving his gold star.

VOLUNTEER fi reman Bob Palmer has been recognised for 25 years service with the Diamond Harbour Volunteer Fire Brigade – though by his calculation it’s nearer 27 years.

For 10 of those years Mr Palmer also served with the Lyttelton brigade.

Mr Palmer said what he had particularly enjoyed about his service was that for the last six years or so the fi re service volunteers have also become co-responders with St John to provide medical response.

“We joined St John as well – the idea being to bring the skills across both services,” he said.

“We all enjoy that, though some volunteers were a little reluctant to do it in the earlier years.”

For the fi re service the volunteers deal with fi res, motor vehicle accidents and fi re prevention in the community, for example promoting the use of smoke alarms. The St John medical service sees them dealing with a range of emergency medical situations such as patients suffering from heart attacks, Mr Palmer said.

“A defi brillator and all the other trauma equipment an ambulance would carry, we carry on the fi re engine.”

The Diamond Harbour Volunteer Fire Brigade responds to about 60 call-outs a year, on average, about half of them being medical responses.

Mr Palmer said one of the biggest changes in recent years to emergency medical response in isolated areas has been the introduction of rescue helicopters.

The Diamond Harbour brigade has 20 volunteers, which is more than many other volunteer brigades in similar geographical situations.

“A lot of rural volunteer brigades really struggle to run their truck during offi ce hours, but we are lucky to have people in the community to do the shift work – we are luckier than most,” Mr Palmer said.

The service was about giving back to the community he said.

“All the people involved in the brigade do it for the community. That’s the very reason they’re in the brigade – to provide emergency response.”

Mr Palmer was presented with a gold star at a special ceremony on November 12 by the United Fire Brigade Association.

What is pain?Pain is that unpleasant feeling we get when the body has been damaged or is stressed. It is the body’s normal

response to help us avoid things that might cause more damage or to warn us that there is a problem in the body.Many factors can influence how much pain we feel and what type of pain we feel. Obviously pain can vary

depending on the cause – is it from a small cut, a deep wound, arthritic pain or as a result of nerve damage? Is it acute pain or chronic pain? Also people react differently to pain depending on past experiences, beliefs and

feelings about pain and emotional and psychological factors.Pain can even occur when there has been no damage, or can continue after the damage has been fixed.

Mild to moderate pain can be treated with medications available in the pharmacy. However the choice of the most appropriate pain medicine depends on lots of factors and needs to be carefully considered. The pain medicine

chosen will depend on the type of pain, the cause and location of the pain, what other medications are being taken and what medical conditions the patient may suffer from.

We suggest you talk to one of our staff before making your pain medicine purchase – we can help you choose the most effective and safest one for you circumstances.

Making our school a greener placeSchool notice board

John Thawley

Molly Hygate

LYTTELTON Main School has been on the same location since 1875. The grounds are similar to how they were back when the fi rst building was erected – fl at grey tarseal or concrete, now a little cracked after a year of earth-quakes but still quite useable.

Over the years, particularly in the 20th century and defi nitely in the 21st century, school commit-tees and then boards of trustees from 1988 until the present day, have worked towards “greening” the school. The protected oak

tree must have been one of the fi rst attempts; it has fl ourished to develop into the magnifi cent tree that shades our south-western corner of the playgrounds. Sadly, the children don’t have access to the shade provided, as we have had to close off the corner of the grounds due to damage in the nearby rooms.

I have been at LMS since 1999. The school community celebrat-ed the 125th Jubilee in Janu-

ary 2000, when I was fortunate enough to be the new principal and taking part in the planting of another oak tree, now called the Jubilee Oak. It joined several other species planted, such as

a magnifi cent kowhai at the

western part of the grounds to soften the con-crete look of the school. These trees have turned the school into a surprisingly green environment visible from Oxford Street.

To add to the existing fl ora,

an enthusiastic group of parents led by Mrs Kim Hickford came to school on the fi rst Sunday of the recent holiday for a “spruce up” working bee. I came back to school after a relaxing fortnight in Sydney to fi nd a very welcome sight. Trees had been pruned, un-dergrowth cleared away and doz-ens of plants – vegetables and fl owers – had been planted in every available space. There are hanging baskets along verandas, and fl owers and other plants in pots.

Memorial: The Jubilee oak tree marked the school’s 125th jubilee.

Potted plants: Greening the school environment.

Talent on display: Pupils enthrall the audience with their singing.

Lyttelton Main School

THE crowd fell silent as the opening lines of Our Lady Star of the Sea School’s pro-duction were spoken on the fi rst night, No-vember 8.

After weeks of rehearsals the big day was here. The production was held in Sumner School’s new hall with guests from Edith Cavell, Redcliffs School and Pebbles Preschool present, along with some of the families.

Called The Littlest Star, the production show-cased the junior and senior schools’

singing, dancing and narrating talents.It was a nativity play with a twist about

a little star that guided the three wise men and shepherds to witness the birth of Baby Jesus.

The message portrayed was to be kind to every-

one, especially the small-est over the Christmas period. The students also presented the production in an evening performance November 9.

Molly Hygate is a Year 8 pupil at Star of the Sea School.

Summer hits Ly� eltonFor the fi rst � me in many months, there was a feel of summer in the air in Ly� elton this weekend. The Farmers Market, open from 10 � ll 1 every Saturday morning, was buzzing with local people and visitors alike making their choice of a wide variety of locally grown fresh produce, all of the tables outside Coff ee Culture were full with people enjoying coff ee whilst taking in the hustle and bustle of London Street, where people were walking along ea� ng ice creams from the London Street Dairy. Of course there is s a choice of two other coff ee shops – Dave’s Place just behind Por� co on London Street, or Samo on Canterbury Street opposite the Loons. Down at the Fishermans Wharf there is the opportunity to sit in one of two sun-bathed outdoor areas and enjoy a glass of wine and delicious food, and outside the pop-up Ly� elton Bakery there is al fresco sea� ng – both op� ons of course have excellent views of Harbour and all its ac� vity. Whilst the Ly� elton swimming pool unfortunately remains closed, many people have already taken the opportunity to take a dip at Corsair Bay – the harbour water has been declared safe for swimming – and the walking tracks from Ly� elton to Corsair Bay, and Cass Bay beyond, are open. So even though the Bridle path and the hill tracks remain closed, the tracks round to the bays aff ord both easy walking and excellent water views. And if you want to be a li� le

more adventurous, all of the walking tracks at Diamond Harbour and Mt Herbert are open, all easily accessed from the Diamond Harbour Ferry, which is opera� ng as normal and interchanges easily with the

number 28 bus. A� er all that, feel free to have another coff ee at one of our great outlets or grab another ice cream or drink from the Dairy, or fi sh & chips (choice of two shops) – and of course in the sun don’t forget to “slip, slop, slap” – sun protec� on available from Bells Pharmacy. So whilst we may not have it all, we have everything you need for a great summer here in Ly� elton.

Ground Culinary Centre owner Jenny Garing was devastated when the earthquake struck on February 22.“We lost nearly everything,” Jenny recalls.The building was situated in London Street in Ly� elton, and it was a popular hub. It was a deli, cafe and a place where Jenny ran cooking classes.But it all came to halt a� er the natural disaster struck.“For us it was a total stop and a bit of a grieving process having lost everything.”Not sure of her future, Jenny took a break with her partner and headed overseas.While she was in Europe she got inspired again and was eager to get back to Ly� elton to start back over. “I realised Ly� elton was the place to be. It is home for us and where our

heart and spirit is. It’s a special community here where everyone helps and supports one another.”Jenny has now set up Ground at The Naval Point Club by Magazine Bay. It is their new home for catering but they also run a small cafe there, so you don’t get to miss out on their famous gourmet sandwiches and pies, coff ee and other yummy treats. Ground has also set up a deli at the Garden City Market. This is a brand new indoor market that runs in the weekends in Upper Riccarton.

“It gives us a chance to be a deli again,” says Jenny.Jenny plans to have everything under one roof in the not too distant future.

“This is a transi� onal phase. It’s just great to be back open again.” For all your catering needs, phone Jenny on 022ground3. If you’re having a spring clean and sort out please help your community to help itself by dona� ng to THE garage sale today!

Still going strong in the heart of Lyttelton

lyttelton framing&


LYTTELTON-based musician Lindon Puffi n, who has released several albums and toured extensively over the past 10 years, is launching his latest album Hope Holiday at a live gig tomorrow night.

Mr Puffi n had spent two years in Auckland recording the album, before returning to Lyttelton to fi lm a music video of the fi rst single from it. He was there when the February earthquake struck.

The artist put his new album on the back burner and helped create the Harbour Union, a collective of Lyttelton musicians featuring The Eastern, The Unfaithful Ways and Delaney Davidson. They recorded, released and toured a fundraising album with all proceeds going to quake-related charities.

Hope Holiday is produced by Wayne Bell and features an all-star band including Brett Adams (Tim Finn), Jol Mulholland (The Mots), Victoria Girling-Butcher (Lucid 3) and Andrew Keoghan.

The release gig for Hope Holiday is being held at the Brewery Bar in Woolston, starting at 8pm. Two other local acts will also be playing – the Lyttelton country band The Unfaithful Ways and vocalist Nadia Reid.

Both of these acts have also recently released albums.

Tickets are $10, although entrance is free if you purchase a copy of Hope Holiday. Tickets can be bought online at www.undertheradar.co.nz/utr/ticket

RESIDENTS in Akaroa and surrounding bays are celebrating the return of the tui following a successful programme to re-introduce this iconic native bird after an absence of over 30 years.

To mark its return, the Banks Peninsula Conservation Trust responsible for the relocation teamed up with photographer Lew Matthews to produce a 2012 calendar.

Called Tui and Friends, it includes striking studies of tui, bellbird, kereru, silvereye and fantail. All the birds were photographed on Banks Peninsula, many of them in Akaroa. The calendar is now on sale at outlets on the Peninsula and through the trust’s

website.All 72 birds released at Hinewai, Otanerito, in 2009

and 2010 were named by their sponsors and can be identifi ed by a combination of coloured leg-bands. Released tui have been sighted as far afi eld as Okuti and Kaituna Valleys, Governors Bay and Diamond Harbour.

Funds from the sale of the calendar will be held by the Banks Peninsula Conservation Trust for further monitoring of tui and predator control.

A group of local volunteers are already monitoring trap lines around Akaroa and this work will be expanded to other valleys and bays as funds permit.

Bird lovers: Volunteers Al Bradford and Kit Grigg baiting traps for predator control around Akaroa.

I HAVE a certifi cate in front of me, Civil Defence Emergency Management Welfare Centre Training, dated October 2006. So imagine my surprise when Civil Defence provided a debrief/consultation with the Hagley Ferrymead Community Board some weeks back and admitted they’d failed to open sector posts following the September 4 and February 22 quakes and the quality of their volunteers was under scrutiny. That’s why they hoovered up council staff in February. I was a council staff member in 2006.

On February 18, I attended the mega-briefi ng on earthquake recovery measures, which was hastily organised in the face of boiling-point anger at the lack of communication and action amongst eastern suburbs, Avonside being the one in our ward.

I listened to the CEO of EQC claim proudly that inspection of all chimneys following September 4 was complete. My response was sharp and loud, “No it isn’t!” He looked at me a little startled, but carried on.

Four days later, my neighbour called to say my chimneys were at her place. Prior to the mega-briefi ng, I’d come across a report online (it’s still there) into

EQC’s preparedness and likely role in a major earthquake disaster. Everything that review suggested is what they’ve ended up having to provide. Christchurch has worn the results of EQC’s failure to action that review.

No central or local government entity had a major disaster recovery plan. They’re making it up as they go along and Christchurch residents are the lab rats. Who’d have thought? Christchurch? As it turns out, the seismic frailty and particularly the proneness to the effects of liquefaction were well known following a study in the early 1990s commissioned by EQC. In July 2010, four months into the role, the CEO of EQC stated, “The role of the EQC in mitigating the economic and social impacts of major disasters in New Zealand should not be underestimated.”

Thirteen months on from the fi rst of the rolling disasters, we’ve learned one thing – self-reliance. Communities throughout our ward have risen up and responded amongst themselves.

Government and council need to prioritise local community response and information centres in the major disaster recovery manual.

Who knows, if Civil Defence had kept a record of those they’d trained, I could have popped round the corner to Linwood.

Islay McLeod is the deputy chair of Hagley Ferrymead Community Board.

ONE of the things I enjoy about using the Diamond Harbour ferry is the opportunity on the Lyttelton side to get close to ships and the big machines that load and unload them. Watching from an elevated vantage the Oxford Street overbridge I think about where the

cargo has come from, where it is going and how it will be used to make people’s lives better.

As trains rumble underneath I think about how rivers of freight fl ow through Canterbury squeezing together to pass through the Port Hills tunnels to reach the sea. Thinking about all the ways the freight money fl ows in and out and through the community, I get a reassuring sense of watching the Canterbury economy in action. From the Oxford Street overbridge still looks pretty healthy to me, despite the earthquakes.

B jetty, where the Diamond Harbour ferry berths, is now the only point where people can access Lyttelton’s inner-

harbour waterfront. For many years Lyttelton residents have been asking for greater access to the inner-harbour waterfront, remembering how things used to be.

But there are two problems. One is the two-way river of road freight that fl ows through Lyttelton along Norwich Quay, effectively cutting the town off from its waterfront and limiting the kind of people-friendly redevelopment that could occur on both sides of the street. A road-freight bypass on reclaimed land below would solve this problem. With money in the budget, Christchurch City Council looks ready to play its part, but so far Lyttelton Port Company

and the Land Transport Authority appear unwilling.

Security fences are the other problem. Lyttelton Port Company, which owns the inner harbour, must rightly ensure public safety and freight security. And like any other well-managed business LPC must strive to maximise fi nancial returns from its land assets. The company is understandably reluctant to foreclose future opportunities by selling inner-harbour land assets or permanently alienating land use rights. But in reality berths four, fi ve and six are rarely used, and two of the oldest fi nger wharfs are practically derelict. There is no obvious reason why this section of the Lyttelton waterfront could not be opened up for public use and enjoyment now.

Now is the time for LPC, CCC, LTA and CERA to work together to overcome barriers and to begin to let the public back to the water’s edge. Paula Smith is a member of the Lyttelton/Mt Herbert Community Board. This column represents her personal views, not that of the board.

Tree removal proves fatalCommunity groups / residents’ groups

Bill SimpsonIN 1875, one of Christchurch’s early residents, Captain William Charlesworth, paid a high price for removing a tree near the estuary edge. He was helping a workman, the axe slipped and cut Charlesworth’s foot. He died two days later from blood poisoning.

Born in Yorkshire in 1814 he went to sea when he was 15 years old. As master of the ship Royal Saxon, which traded between Australia, India, England and Russia, Captain Charlesworth made a trip to Heathcote’s steam wharf in the mid-1850s and immediately bought land opposite the wharf along Ferry Road (near the site of the current Ferry Road/Tunnel Road roundabout).

When aged in his 40s the captain returned to England to tidy up his business affairs. He met with an absentee landowner that sold him another 100 acres of land adjacent to his land on Ferry Road.

While staying in lodgings in Surrey, William admired the housekeeping skills of the landlady’s daughter and persuaded her to come to Christchurch. Hannah Jane

Reddick arrived in 1861 and the two were married in the registry offi ce.

His house, Saxon Villa, was a landmark on Ferry Road and when he died in 1875 his funeral was held at his home. He was buried in the Woolston Cemetery. His wife died a few years later followed by their son (who died from diphtheria).

Charlesworth Street and Charlesworth Reserve (20 hectares) now bear the captain’s name.

To recreate the wetland, 5000 square metres of ponds were built in 1999 and the reserve was opened in December 2005. More than 80,000 plants have been placed in the reserve and wading birds are now common. Current work is focused on restoring estuary-edge ecosystems. On Sunday afternoons at 3pm a small team of volunteers meet to plant, weed and mulch at the reserve. You are very welcome to join them.

Bill Simpson is a trustee and member of the Charlesworth volunteer maintenance group.

Fundraising keeps service group busyIT’S been another busy time for the Lyttelton Lions Club. You may have seen us on Saturday, October 29 at the petanque club in Lyttelton where we ran another of our free barbeques. This vacant land is a project of Gap Fillers who are doing an amazing job in Christchurch fi lling up empty spots around the city.

We also ran several barbeques at Mitre 10 in Ferrymead and have donated the proceeds to Camp Quality (a favourite of ours), the Lyttelton Sea Scouts and the Foundation for the Blind.

We have also supplied Diamond Harbour School, Governors Bay School, Lyttelton West School, Kidsfi rst preschool and Busy Cs preschool with earthquake kits.

The Lions District Earthquake Committee has received money from

Australia, the United States and New Zealand for earthquake relief and we were able to source these funds to help the students at Lyttelton Main School to go on their annual camps.

We also provided art counselling for some students at Lyttelton West who were affected badly by the earthquake. This therapy was extremely successful and now all of these students are back to their ‘pre-earthquake’ state.

On Saturday, December 3 we are holding our annual seniors’ afternoon tea in Trinity Hall, Winchester Street, Lyttelton at 2pm. This is a fun afternoon with musical entertainment, quizzes, spot prizes and a delicious afternoon tea. We hope to see many seniors from Lyttelton and Banks Peninsula there.

Best of fl eet competes for Canterbury Regatta Cup

Sport

Encouraging kidsRobert Liebert

Years 5 and 6 Redcliffs ‘and Sumner’ touch teams

THE southeast zone athletics held on November 15 was a real hit with amazing performances by some 500 students. Even Reuben Cotter, who wasn’t so keen in joining the year 12 boys’ long jump, ended up winning. I have seen this many times where students aren’t confi dent, but they end up doing very well. A little cajoling and encouraging can go a long way.

Star of the Sea School has enjoyed success in sending eight students to the Canterbury Champs this year. Last year, three attended so the growth is encouraging.

To compete, students need to fi nish fi rst or second in an event. More results to follow in the next report.Jump Jam

Girls from the South Island competed in the Jump Jam Idol. They had to make up a routine from the Jump Jam syllabus. Heathcote did very well with Julia Addison placing fi rst and Nicole Ronan third in the year 7/8 section and Alli Kennedy third in the year 4/6 section. In the Jump team competition, the year 7/8 team came in fi fth. Touch

Despite the weather, we have managed to run for three weeks without interruption. There is some real talent and potential in schools. It has been a real learning curve for players, coaches, and managers alike as the sport is somewhat new to the cluster of schools.

Now, the leading school teams are: Years 1 to 2 group 1 Mt Pleasant TigersYears 1 to 2 group 2 Lyttelton WhiteYears 3 to 4 Mt Pleasant DolphinsYears 5 to 6 Sumner and Heathcote Valley andYears 7 to 8 Redcliffs.

Winning third: Nzanity (Gil Smith) fi nishes well within the top three in the race for the Canterbury Cup.

THE best of Canterbury’s keelboat fl eet gathered in Lyttelton from November 4 to 6 to compete for the Canterbury Regatta Cup. The trophy was fi rst presented in 1871 for the Lyttelton Regatta.

Brent and Deb Dewhurst’s Gucci joined the competing fl eets. They sailed down from Wellington especially for the event.

The fl eet experienced a variety of

conditions, with a southerly wind and rain on Friday night and near-perfect easterlies during the other two days.

After seven closely contested races by the able fl eets, Milton Bloomfi eld’s Young 88 Incantare was declared the handicap winner. Gucci was second, followed by Gil Smith’s Nzanity. Dave Anderson’s Jive Talkin took out the trophy for the most Line Honours Wins.

Sumner bowl champs over

Wicket taker: Andrew Vann wins by taking eight wickets in Sumner’s incredible two-day match against Halswell.

THE Sumner senior cricket team proved too good for defending one-day and twenty20 champions Halswell in their recent two-day match at the Halswell Domain.

Halswell had shaped as one of the team’s toughest opponents; however, Sumner made an emphatic statement in its quest for silverware this season, winning by innings and seven runs.

Batting fi rst, Halswell could only muster 62 all out with Andrew Vann taking 4-13, Marcus Thompson 3-18, and Andrew Bird 2-6.

In return, Sumner scored a very respectable 162 with Dan Vann 37, Nick Franzmann 27 and Chris Posa 18. This meant Sumner had an hour and a half to bowl at the wounded Halswell and managed to have the hosts reeling at 35-6 overnight.

The following week, it took less than an hour to complete the outright victory, bowling out Halswell for 93 despite the efforts of former All Black Aaron Mauger who top scored with 27.

Andrew Vann took another four wickets for 42 runs to fi nish with an impressive eight wickets in the match.

Unfortunately, rain spoiled the long awaited homecoming for Sumner the following weekend with its twenty20 match against New Brighton at St Leonard’s Square being called off after only six overs.

Sections are priced from as little as $175,000. All sections are over 1,000m², are fully serviced and offer beach access with stunning harbour views.

Great summer of surfi ng aheadSCARBOROUGH Beach was fi nally opened last week, as well as the estuary, and the great news is there are no longer any direct discharges of sewage into Christchurch waterways.

We can now look forward to a great summer of surfi ng clean water and hopefully clean waves as well.

The beach opened just in time for the biggest NE swell in months to hit the city. A strong NE ground swell and nice offshore winds, created pumping conditions on all the local beaches over Show weekend.

However, Scarborough was the pick of the bunch, it was too big for New Brighton and nearly too big for Taylors as well with lots of closeouts but there were some hell waves off the Breakwater at Scarborough and some big lefts and rights out off Whitewash heads.

The water is fi nally warming up and is sitting about 15°C; it should warm even more over the next month. The weather patterns seem to be getting into a NW/ SW fl ow so there will be plenty of south swell up the coast but you’ll need to keep an eye on the local beaches to score the short-lived north winds swells that will pop up.

The South Island surfi ng circuit kicked off in Westport over Labour weekend with the Cape Classic at Tauranga Bay. The surf was pretty good, not too big, and on the right tide the lefthanders at the bay were pumping. Local surfers performed well. Hayden Brain (New Brighton) placed second in the open behind Kaikoura surfer Sam Dunfoy. Neill Robb (Sumner) won the grand masters. Alethea Lock (Sumner) won the open women’s with Leilani Brain (New Brighton) second.

Mike Christensen (New Brighton) won the masters event. Dan Warren (New Brighton) won the longboard-ing. Niwa Ututaonga (Sumner) was third in the cadets. Hugh Ritchie was second in the juniors. Aaron Lock (Sumner) was third in the seniors.

The South Island Grom series kicks off this month, the fi rst event was on November 19 at New Brighton and the next event will be in Westport on December 10, with the fi nal event back here in Canterbury on January 28. This series is great for any surfers under 17 years wanting to get into competitive surfi ng. Check it out at www.sisa.co.nz.

With all the city beaches now open and the water warming fast it’s time to dust off the summer wetty and put away the booties. See you in the soup! Big surf: Aaron Lock rides the waves at Taylors Mistake. Photo by Eli Shingleton.
