Sumner celebrates 100 years surf lifesaving New generation: Rueben Godfrey, 14, in action on Sumner beach during the centenary celebrations.

Christine de Felice

OVER 100 past and present members gathered in Sumner to celebrate the Sumner Surf Lifesaving Club’s centennial on November 18-20.

Some of them had come from overseas especially for the event, and the president of New Zealand Surf Lifesaving, Bob Harvey, was also there from Wellington, club administrator Pip Ives said.

“It was perfect weather for it and the sea was magic.”

Des Lyons and several other life members had helped to organise a full programme of events for the weekend, Mrs Ives said. They included a ‘bone of contention’ masters surf lifesaving competition between the Sumner

and Taylors Mistake clubs, which Sumner took out by winning all the water and landbased events.

A formal dinner held at the Redcliffs Bowling Club on the Saturday night gave people a chance to reminisce about their time with the club. Highlights of the evening included former member, John Claydon, who is 94, being presented with an award for being the oldest attending member. Club patron Nevill Staples was awarded for 75 years’ active involvement in surf lifesaving, having joined the club on January 23, 1936.

He also celebrated his 89th birthday on the Friday.

On the Sunday morning the junior surf

lifesavers displayed their talents on the beach and in the water, demonstrating that Sumner beach goers would continue to benefit from the club’s strong lifesaving skills.

Mr Lyons, wearing the traditional lifesaver’s costume and carrying the flag, then led the traditional march past along the beach with the older members following him and the club’s 100 junior surfers sporting their red tops falling in behind.

This was followed by a barbeque lunch, which culminated with Mr Claydon and the club’s youngest member, Makyh Koekomoer, cutting the anniversary cake.

Mr Staples then officially closed the celebrations.

Towns recognised for their generosity LYTTELTON has been named number seven on Oxfam’s list of New Zealand’s 10 most generous towns in its first-ever Oxfam Unwrapped Generosity List. Oxfam’s direct marketing manager Karen Watson said the list of top towns reflected the widespread generosity of Kiwis.

“We already know that New Zealanders are some of the most giving people in the world, but this list shows that generosity isn’t limited to the cities. It shows just how big the hearts of small towns are.”

Lyttelton ranked highly for having donated a large amount of gifts for its population size. Over the past five years, Lyttelton residents have given over $13,000 through Oxfam Unwrapped. Akaroa also did well, though just missed out a spot in the top 10, coming in at 13th on the list, but had an average gift value of $28.16 – far above the national average of $18.60.

For Oxfam Unwrapped you choose something from the Oxfam Unwrapped catalogue, get a card to give to your friend, and the actual gift goes to people in the developing world. In the past six years, Kiwis have raised over $4 million through Oxfam Unwrapped to help people in the world’s poorest countries work their way out of poverty and achieve fundamental human rights.

“The impact of Oxfam Unwrapped is massive,” said Ms Watson. “Through the generosity of thousands of Kiwis, toilets have been built, gardens have been planted, clean water systems have put an end to hours of walking to collect dirty water, livestock has multiplied, farmers have gained organic certification, trees have been planted and small businesses have been given successful starts.”

LYTTELTON harbour played host to a pod of seven orca last Thursday morning. The orca were spotted by those on board the Black Cat Cruises Black Diamond ferry as it made its 10am trip across the harbour.

This is a rare event that only happens about once a year, Black Cat Cruises Lyttelton manager Paul Milligan said.

After dropping passengers off, the crew went for an unscheduled trip between ferry crossings and followed

the pod of orca as they played in the water off Purau Bay. “They were swimming around, diving, surfacing and possibly feeding – they looked amazing.”

Milligan said staff were “very excited and stoked to see the impressive marine mammals”.

He said it was only the second time in six years working for Black Cat Cruises he had seen orca in Lyttelton harbour.

New model mooted for Lyttelton shop THE significant changes that have occurred in Lyttelton due to the earthquakes have prompted Lyttel Piko to investigate the viability of turning the business into a community-owned co-operative, manager Brian Rick says.

“Our sales are up, but our supply chain has drastically changed. We can no longer rely on the support structure we previously had, but we now have expanded freedom and control over how we operate. So it is due to a wide range of circumstances that Lyttel Piko is in need of restructuring,” Mr Rick said.

Customers would be asked to buy shares in the new co-operative and become its owners. This would generate much-needed capital for the shop, which would help to pay off previous debt and secure funding for future growth, he said.

Benefits for co-operative members could include price breaks on selected items, bulk buying discounts, member appreciation day discounts, access to workshops and seminars, sharing of information, and potentially profit sharing. “But more importantly, they would have a direct say in how the shop is run. All members/owners would have an equal vote on major issues and would elect

a board of directors that would steer and oversee the operations of the business,” Mr Rick said.

“Through our initial research we have come across several successful models for co-operatives and we need feedback to understand what would be the best choices for us. We want to see this shop stay in Lyttelton serving this community, but we will need a lot of support to do it.”

People wanting to provide feedback can go online and fill out a survey on www.surveymonkey.com or call into the shop and pick up a feedback form.

CHRISTCHURCH City Council is welcoming community reports of broken water pipes and leaks on roads as Christchurch and Lyttelton harbour communities head into their third month of water restrictions.

City water and waste manager Mark Christison said since level-three water restrictions were introduced on October 8, council staff had received a number of reports from the community about water leaks on roads and footpaths around the city.

“Our staff aren’t on the roads 24 hours a day, so it is very helpful to have the public being proactive by ringing in observed leaks on roads and footpaths so we can attend to them as soon as possible.”

Mr Christison said the council had completed 27,500

water repair jobs since the February 22 earthquake and leak-detection crews were continuing to work around the city to identify leaking water lines.

“We’ve also been receiving calls about members of the public who may not be following the restriction rules as well as they could be given the severity of the damage to the water supply network,” he said.

“The restrictions are serious so we need everyone to get on board. The community is doing a great job so far, but there are some people and businesses that need reminding.”

Mr Christison was happy with current water consumption levels, which had been helped by wet weather during October and November, but warned the hottest months were yet to come.

Artist’s creations have the ‘wow factor’

Creative flair: Marie Grant Roxburgh with her design, Into-the-Blue.

Photo: Christine de Felice

Christine de Felice

REDCLIFFS artist Marie Gant Roxburgh has been entering costumes for the Brancott Estate World of WearableArt Awards Show (WOW) for the last five years, and every one of them has been selected for the prestigious annual event. Given that up to

300 designs are put forward for selection each year that’s quite an achievement.

Not only that, she took third place with her first entry, Intothe-Blue, in 2007. Her third entry in 2009, Into Thin Air, made up of photocopies of photographs that glowed under UV light, won the Illuminated section, and her fourth entry, Caught in the Maelstrom in 2010 won third prize, (commended) in the Illuminated section.

It all started when a friend suggested they both enter a design.

Mrs Gant Roxburgh had always enjoyed craftwork and making things, but initially didn’t take entering WOW too seriously.

Winning third prize gave her validation to continue, she said. “I thought, maybe I will do this.�

The WOW costumes are limited only by the artists’ imagination, though the materials used must be durable and be able to withstand being handled and moved around, she said. “It’s about stretching the boundaries with what you use.�

She said her inspiration came from “anything and everything�. “I think about it in the January holidays. I keep my eyes open for everything. Inspiration can also come from something someone says.�

Putting the costume together takes three months, during which time other things (and people) have to take a back seat. “The worst thing is you get totally preoccupied with it, especially in the last month, and the family gets put to one side. But it’s only for three months. It’s a relief having the deadline because then it’s gone. Otherwise it would never be finished.�

Mrs Gant Roxburgh was working on her 2011 entry when the February earthquake struck. The project was put on hold for over a month during power cuts and other disruptions and when she returned to it she changed her original design to one that reflected her thoughts about the earthquake. “It was going to be a tribute to Gretchen Albrecht. I kept the oval shapes but I changed what I put in them to symbolise what had happened in Christchurch.�

Made from recycled paint, it is titled I Iconic, a pun on the I am name of the series by Colin McCahon. “I felt really frivolous doing it straight after the earthquake. I felt it wasn’t important, but at the same time it gave me something to do. It was important to have something else to think about.�

Mrs Gant Roxburgh has now achieved further recognition for her creativity. WOW founder Suzie Moncrieff and Sir Richard Taylor of Weta Workshop have selected two of her designs – Intothe-Blue and Into Thin Air – for the Off the Wall exhibition of 30 WOW garments touring New Zealand. The tour kicked off in Christchurch last Friday and the exhibition will run at the Canterbury Museum until next March. Mrs Gant Roxburgh is one of two designers with two costumes in the exhibition and one of three Christchurch designers represented.

She is already starting to think about next year’s entry. “I might even enter two designs,� she said.

Support team dedicated to Redcliffs A TEAM of three earthquake support co-ordinators dedicated to Redcliffs has been set up to provide a range of support services for people dealing with the after-effects of the earthquakes.

The co-ordinators would meet anyone needing support anywhere that suited them, team member Dennis Langston said.

They are also available at the Redcliffs Information Centre on Beachville Road every Wednesday afternoon from 2pm to 4pm.

The range of services they offer include helping people work out what they want to achieve and develop a plan, provide information, connect people with relevant services, undertake referral and application processes for services needed and facilitate meetings between residents and the experts.

The assistance is free and confidential. “A lot of people are running out of energy after having their homes damaged and having to wait a long time for things to happen,� Mr Langston said. “They’re getting more stressed and they’re getting angrier. This has been an unprecedented event with a lot of complexity around it and sometimes people need to share their frustration and we’re there to listen.�

Mr Langston said it was a good idea to have a support group that was dedicated to the local area as it meant the co-ordinators would get to know the area and the people, and residents were able to deal with the same person whenever they needed support.

Anyone needing more information on the earthquake support team can call the Redcliffs Information Centre on 0800 234 565.

WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 7, 2011

Hector’s dolphins on conservationist’s agenda BRITISH conservationist, photographer and presenter Mark Carwardine recently visited Akaroa as part of a whistlestop tour of some of New Zealand’s best wildlife attractions.

Mr Carwardine was here to promote New Zealand as a wildlife destination for tourists coming from the United Kingdom.

“People in the UK see New Zealand as a great place for tramping or adventure sports, but many are unaware of its potential as a place to experience some of the world’s most unique and interesting species,” Mr Carwardine said.

Still Pedalling!

His visit highlighted New Zealand’s ‘Small 5’ as opposed to Africa’s ‘Big 5’. Species that tourists can expect to see on a two-week visit are Hector’s dolphins, tuatara, kiwi, kea, and yellow-eyed penguins/hoiho.

“These species are endemic to New Zealand – found nowhere else in the world,” Mr Carwardine said.

“And the nature-spotting opportunities go way beyond these five species. I’m also seeing a wide variety of other weird and wonderful wildlife in between such as gannets and Fiordland crested penguins.”

Mr Carwardine’s tour started on Tiritiri Matangi Island in the Hauraki Gulf where he saw some tuatara, followed by the Muriwai gannet/takapu colony. He then came to the South Island to visit Hector’s dolphins in Akaroa, kea in Arthur’s Pass, Fiordland crested penguins/tawaki at Lake Moeraki, kiwi on Stewart Island, and yellow-eyed penguins Playful creatures: Hector’s dolphins cavorting in the Akaroa Harbour. near Dunedin.

Closed doors: Akaroa’s Gaiety Hall, which was severely affected by the earthquakes, has been deemed unsafe.

THE historically significant Gaiety Hall in Akaroa has been closed until further notice.

After a detailed engineering evaluation, engineers have recommended that the hall be closed until it is earthquake-strengthened.

The venue’s main hall stayed open following the February 22 earthquake after it was given a green placard as the result of a level-two engineering assessment.

The supper room, which received a yellow placard, has been closed since the earthquake.

The level-two assessment was a visual inspection of the inside and outside of the building to identify any obvious structural damage.

This latest assessment was a more detailed inspection of the

building, including an estimation of its capacity to withstand future earthquakes or significant aftershocks.

The Christchurch City Council was aware that the Gaiety Hall was an important facility for the community, community services manager Michael Aitken said.

“We’re conscious that this will cause some inconvenience for members of the Akaroa community and others who have booked the venue for upcoming events.

However, the safety of those using the facility is paramount and we must ensure they are not put at risk in the event of future earthquakes or aftershocks.”

Cost estimates for the repairs are being investigated.

Emotions and tears for Cholmondeley’s farewell

Sharing memories: Sir Kerry Burke addresses the visitors at Cholmondeley’s open day.

FORMER matrons, staff and residents were among the 120 or so who attended the Cholmondeley open day on November 27.

They included one visitor that had travelled from the Gold Coast especially for the event.

The open day was organised for people who had been associated

TWO people involved in activities in the Bay Harbour area were recognised at Volunteering Canterbury’s annual Volunteer Recognition Awards on Monday, which was International Volunteer Day. They were Mark Buckley of the Lyttelton Volunteer Fire Brigade and Mike White of the Summit Road Society.

As detailed in his citation, for two weeks after the February earthquake, while Lyttelton was isolated, Mr Buckley co-ordinated the response effort of the New Zealand Fire Service with the army and navy to provide support to Lyttelton residents. He oversaw the logistics and welfare of his team and their families, working in excess of 12 hours a day.

Mr Buckley said he was honoured to have been nominated and to receive the award, and saw it as an award not just for himself but for the whole brigade.

“I would say the whole brigade earned it for their work in the community,” he said.

Mr Buckley also assisted with appointment interviews, dispute resolutions, and working groups such as the fleet management team.

He gave this time voluntarily over and above his role as the chief fire officer of the Lyttelton Volunteer Fire Brigade.

Mr Buckley has worked for the Lyttelton Fire Service for 24 years.

At present there are 22 volunteers in the Lyttelton Volunteer Fire

Redcliffs Dental Centre

with Cholomondeley over the years to say goodbye to the 86-year-old building, which is due for demolition.

“It was a lovely day and there was a degree of intimacy there,” general manager Shane Murdoch said.

“It was quite personal and low key with people gathering in small groups – it was a bit like a school reunion. People were really interested in having one last look.”

An archive photo display was set up and there were lots of emotions and a few tears as people looked through the photos, he said.

President of Cholmondeley, Sir Kerry Burke, addressed the visitors.

The home, which was severely damaged in the February earthquake, will be demolished and a new purpose-built facility will be constructed on the site. Demolition is due to start early in the New Year.

“We wanted to talk to Rapaki and have the place blessed first.

The local rununga will be doing that before Christmas then Nikau Construction will start the demolition work in early January,” Mr Murdoch said.

Volunteers recognised for their community work Brigade.

The other recipient, Mike White, was recognised for his work with the Summit Road Society, which had a passion for the Port Hills. As his citation explained, Mr White was a 20-year member of the society who personified this passion and had spent countless hours building walking tracks, planting native trees, and battling weeds and animal pests. He has been a member of the Ohinetahi Reserve working group since 1996, a board member of the society since 1999, and president from 2005 to 2009.

Mr White said he felt very humbled about the award, but would have preferred it to be given to the volunteer team as a whole.

“I’m a little bit annoyed by the Summit Road Society putting my name forward,” he said.

“The society owns two reserves on the Port Hills – the Ohinetahi Reserve and the Omahu Reserve – both about the size of Hagley Park.”

He said the volunteers worked for six hours every week maintaining the reserves.

Mr White said he enjoyed volunteering for the society because he loved the mountains and it was a good excuse to get out in to the hills.

“It’s also good to be doing a little bit for the environment.”

Recipe book a record of pre-earthquake Lyttelton LYTTELTON’S primary schools’ fundraising cookbook Harbour Kitchens is returning with a new post-earthquake 2011 edition.

The book has sold 6000 copies since it was first published in 2009 and has generated much-needed funds for both Lyttelton Main and Lyttelton West primary schools. As Andrew Barker, principal of Lyttelton West School, explained, “Funds provided by the sale of the recipe book have enabled the school to provide all the extra fun things, such as new technology and school trips, but more importantly provide the extra support children have needed during these stressful times.”

The new edition starts with an additional 16-page ‘earthquake section’, which includes new photographs and contributions by Lyttelton identities and school children. Contributors include Gary McCormick, John Sellwood and local poet Ben Brown.

All the recipes and photos from the first edition have been retained.

Kate McRae, whose vision turned the book into reality, said the original intention of the book, apart from showcasing local

recipes, was to present a snapshot of the town and its people and this has now taken on a new significance.

The new edition will be available from retail outlets including Casual and Country, Leslies Bookshop, Portico and the Lyttelton farmers market as well as from the website www.harbourkitchens. org.nz.

Boosting Sumner: Lang and Maureen Masters of Hollywood Cinema in Sumner have been attracting people back to the seaside suburb by hosting three film festivals.

SUMNER might have been devastated by February’s earthquake, but film buffs have been descending on the seaside suburb to enjoy international film festivals, thanks to Lang and Maureen Masters.

Due to the earthquake, the inner-city cinemas that usually hosted film festivals were out of action, including the couple’s Academy Cinema at the Arts Centre.

Mr Masters said the Hollywood Cinema only sustained minor earthquake damage so it was reopened in early March.

Over the past three months the cinema has hosted the Italian Film Festival, Show Me Shorts Short Film Festival and the Chinese Film Festival.

While hosting the film festivals was a slight gamble, Mr Masters said it had paid off with people from all over the city travelling to Sumner to watch the films.

“We’ve actually had more business since the earthquake. We do things a bit differently and offer a

wide range of films. People also feel more comfortable in smaller theatres now.”

Mr Masters said he and his wife Maureen also enjoyed introducing Sumner to visitors.

“We have a chat with people who haven’t been out here before and let them know a bit more about Sumner.”

With the recent closure of Movieland in Hornby, Hollywood Cinema is now the last remaining independent movie theatre in Christchurch.

“We’ve been here for 45 years and while there aren’t as many independents around we think there is still a market for people who want to enjoy good quality films.”

Mr Masters planned to continue screening film festivals next year.

“We’re looking at hosting a French film festival next March and have had a great deal of interest in our opera screenings.”

Donation boosts school’s music programme

Our emergency services Coppers’ Corner

AS I sat at my desk writing this column, I started to think about the past year. It would be fair to say that for most of us, it’s been challenging not only in our workplaces, but in our private lives as well. I can honestly say there is no one I know who has not been affected by the earthquakes in some way, either large or small.

It has also shown me the sense of community we have – our ability to get over a major disaster by having the support of our friends, the community, volunteer fire services, ambulance, Civil Defence, the Defence force and the other organisations and volunteers that assisted us through this trying time.

I appreciate I have not named them Recorders in harmony: Nancy Meherne with a group of her recorder students. all, but I am limited to a certain space YOUNG musicians at Bamford School said. in my column, so for all of those who About 40 children from year three helped in a big or small way, my in Woolston are enjoying the benefits of a generous donation from a Dunedin to year eight were involved in music at Bamford School and they really enjoyed Probus group.

I was speaking to a Sumner Probus was aiming to develop an ensemble with member one day and mentioned how I children playing descant, treble and tenor had been teaching a recorder class at the recorders, some of which were donated to school when the February quake hit and the school.

Principal Colin Hammond said Mrs some of the children were terrified – they Meherne had been instrumental in were really suffering afterwards.

“He gave me the money to use for providing an exceptional music extension the children and it was put towards programme at Bamford School.

thanks to you all.

I have just received our crime statistics and overall reported crime is down 20 per cent. This is great news and allows my staff to be pro-active, rather than re-active, meaning hopefully you will see more of them out and about on the beat and visiting holiday hotspots through the summer season. As they say, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Finally, and I know I go on about

this, do not leave your valuables in the car, or in your bag on the beach.

Whilst our criminals are not that bright, they are bright enough to recognise an opportunity to spoil your holidays, and will take your valuables quicker than the blink of an eye.

Unfortunately, criminals are opportunists, so if we remove the opportunity, then hopefully they will eventually get a job and stop committing crime. Let’s make it hard for them, ring 111 if you see some dodgy people lurking around cars, properties or public areas.

So that’s it from me for this month.

Have a fantastic Christmas and New Year.

Redcliffs School Rosie Jerram, competed Ten excellent speeches were given, but there could only be two in the recent Christ’s College science cup winners that night. Once again, competition. For the second year Redcliffs School was successful, with running, Redcliffs School took out Robb Eastman-Densem for the Y 5/6 the event, beating Christchurch cup and Caleb Simpson for the Y 7/8 intermediate schools to retain the cup. Both students presented well- trophy.

WHEN year 7/8 students headed off to camp last February, they formed strong relationships and anticipated an eventful and exciting year. Even with the events of September, no one could have foreseen how eventful the year ahead would be.

Sumner School’s motto Per Ardua Ad Alta, which means “Through difficulties to the heights” was selected by Mr G F Allen in 1915 shortly after the memorable landing at Gallipoli, a battle in which many ex-pupils took part. He felt the motto to be applicable “equally to the

The Christmas season is just about upon us, and many people will be coun ng the everdecreasing number of shopping days available to buy Christmas gi s for family and friends. Of course buying gi s doesn’t have to involve a trip to a crowded shopping mall - I’d encourage you to consider ways you can buy gi s locally, and in doing so support local traders and business owners, many of whom have had a very diďŹƒcult year and really would appreciate the addi onal business. Here in Ly elton there are plenty of Christmas shopping opportuni es which allow you to support local shops and businesses at the same me as buying some interes ng gi s.

Where be er to start working your way through your shopping list than Himalaya, Por co, and Anchor Fine Arts/Coastal Living, all on London Street, and all oering some interes ng and alterna ve gi ideas. Leslies Bookshop is the ideal place for cards, gi wrap, books and diaries. Bells Pharmacy is another great op on when looking for gi s, in their new premises opposite the ďŹ re sta on. Gi ideas from the London Street Dairy include confec onery and boxed chocolates, and of course wine and spirits make perfect Christmas gi s from Mondo Vino on Norwich Quay.

Vouchers for cafes and restaurants are another great gi idea, and a perfect way of suppor ng

our local hospitality businesses at the same me as sharing some of your favourite venues with family and friends, and of course many retail shops have gi vouchers available too. Ly el Piko has some interes ng possibili es when buying for “foodieâ€? friends, and don’t forget the huge range on oer at the Ly elton Farmers Market – preserves, gourmet foods and other unusual gi ideas. The Farmers Market will be open on Christmas Eve for any real last-minute shopping, and so you can stock up on all of the fresh food you need for the fes ve season. So when thinking of gi s this Christmas, I encourage you to forego the crowded mall experience, have a look what is available at your local shops, and support your local economy and local community at the same me as buying some great gi s for family and friends.

So it is with no surprise that when Jai went huntt ing for the most ideal place to set up her retail business, she chose Lyttelton ďŹ rst and foremost over any other tradi onal high street pla orm.

It was during an impromptu visit to Ly elton that Jai no ced the building next to the Harbour Light Theatre was available for rent. Too excited for words, Jai contacted the owners to arrange an immediate viewing. That phone call started a remarkable business rela onship. To this day Jai credits owners Tom and Helen for being the secret of her success during those ďŹ rst six months of trading.

From a background in design, fashion, and tex les, Jai started her business armed with social conscience, a desire to support Fair Trade, and a love of Ly elton.

Opening the doors to Himalaya Design at 20 London Street in July 2007 was a dream realised, and four years on Jai has no regrets.

As the crea ve hub of Himalaya, Jai undertakes most of the design work for the variety of gorgeous products available in store, and travels to Nepal four to six weeks every year. Product developers are known to travel the globe looking for the right product, at the right price. But Jai takes a fresh view to global trade. Suppor ng the Fair Trade Group, and in par cular the Women’s Skills Development Group in Nepal, Jai will spend me physically working in the mills and produc on houses, personally taking the me to get to know the people, and o en the whole family, who are crea ng her designs.

Local jewellery designer and full me Visual Arts Design teacher Jenny Braithwaite opened her studio on 13 Oxford Street, just prior to the earthquakes. Having lovingly restored the historic building in 2010, which is commonly referred to as “the n palace�, the building has survived the earthquakes remarkably well and is once again safe to occupy.

Over the past few months Jenny has given much thought to how the studio space might be used for the future beneďŹ t of the Ly elton art community and is delighted to now open the Tin Palace as a pop up art gallery. As the people of Ly elton gather to celebrate another place opening in their beloved township, the Tin Palace welcomes a cap ve audience of both spectators and par cipants with its new tle of pop up gallery.

Jenny is keen is embrace the possibili es as to how the Tin Palace might develop, and in the mean me is relishing the fact that she can give something to the community, and says “the subsequent process of opening a gallery contributes immensely to our uniqueness and to Ly elton’s growth and redevelopment. The ar sts we are proud to showcase go forward into the next phase of Ly elton’s history and are decisively unique in their own personal visions and means of expression�.

Playhouse built to raise funds for Plunket DIY skills were put to the test when the staff at Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead built a playhouse to raise money for Plunket. The long established organisation provides support services for the development, health and well-being of children under five.

The playhouse has been designed and built as part of a nationwide competition in which every Mitre 10 MEGA store in the country is building a playhouse to be sold in a raffle, with all proceeds going to Plunket.

The playhouse is on display at the Ferrymead store where visitors can have a look at it and buy raffle entries to win it. Store manager Tony Franc said the competition was a “unique and creative way to raise money and awareness for the charity”.

“Just as DIY is part of our DNA, so is Plunket part of the DNA of New Zealanders,” he said.

Each Mitre 10 MEGA store in New Zealand had a $3000 fundraising target and Mr Franc hoped families would give generously to support Plunket and help the project reach its $100,000 fundraising goal.

As well as entering to win the completed playhouse, visitors to the store can pick up a booklet with instructions on how to build a simple playhouse.

Parents who build a playhouse for their children will be able to enter it into a competition on Mitre 10’s facebook page. The playhouse that receives the most votes will win a $5000 voucher to spend at the store.

Hero one day, villain the next Bill Simpson

IF you drive along Humphreys Drive, stop by the canal and have a look at the land on the south side, you will notice thousands of young native plants. This is the Charlesworth Wetland Reserve. Since the 1850s the land has been farmed, used for factories and is now being restored as a coastal wetland.

One of the early characters of the area was Mr N. Mitchell. He was celebrated as a hero in 1885 and a year later was in court for fraud.

Mr Mitchell arrived from England in 1879.

He built the Zealandia Carpet Factory at Christchurch Quay. He later moved closer to Ferrymead. That site is now part of Charlesworth

Mitchell had replied, “That will do and I will give you the key of the factory.”

Mr Richardson later told Mr Mitchell he would not set fire to the factory, but 15 days afterwards the factory was burnt down.

Nothing remains and the area is now part of the Charlesworth Reserve. Volunteers meet there to tend the plants; anyone who wants to help is very welcome to join the group on any Sunday at 3pm at the Charlesworth Street entrance to the reserve.

Reserve.

The Illustrated Guide to Christchurch and Neighbourhood of 1885 praised Mr Mitchell as “the right man in the right place” and described the opening of the new factory as “a red letter day truly, not only for the promoter but also for the whole colony of New Zealand.”

The carpet was sold locally and also exported to Sydney.

A year later Mitchell was on trial for torching his own factory to defraud the insurance company. George Richardson said he was offered £40 by Mitchell to burn the factory down. Mr Richardson suggested kerosene and

THE community forum was established in July by Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Minister Gerry Brownlee to provide him with information and advice on earthquake recovery matters.

It consists of 38 people representing a variety of organisations and interest groups across the city and district to represent the people during the years of our recovery. Several residents of the Mt Pleasant-RedcliffsSumner area serve on the forum. They include Wendy Gilchrist, Jocelyn Papprill, Lesley Murdoch and John Peet. While we represent various sectors such as residents’ associations, sport, education, health, sustainability and business, each of us is aware of the wide range of issues facing our eastern hill suburb communities and businesses.

At our last meeting, the Minister heard very clearly the concerns we raised and he indicated he would endeavour to address them.

Since the forum’s formation we have been on a steep learning curve in an attempt to more fully understand the impacts of the earthquakes and the implications of rebuilding. In August we met to determine how best we

could work as a forum and were assisted by Professor Bruce Glavovic, associate director of Massey University’s Joint Centre for Disaster Research. The discussion around our terms of reference led to a greater understanding of the needs of the communities and organisations we represent.

We regularly have presentations on the recovery such as from EQC, from Mark Weldon about the Prime Minister’s Recovery Fund, from Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (Cera) CEO Roger Sutton about the recovery strategy, and on land issues and demolitions. In early October representatives of the three main councils explained their strategies for community engagement and communication. We presented a report on our response to those presentations to the Minister at our last meeting.

We see our role as a community forum developing over time as we come to better understand the dynamic and complex nature of the recovery and reshaping of greater Christchurch. The Minister sees us as a “reference group, or sounding board, for the formally elected structures”, as well as informing him of pertinent issues. We welcome input from our community - email forum@cera.govt.nz.

Help needed to keep cricket pitches green THE Sumner Cricket Club is appealing for help to keep its grounds in playing order.

The club has been hit hard by both the September and February earthquakes and no game was possible

“Our problem is that we now have no water pressure at the ground for

and the park is a vital part of Sumner, especially now so many tracks are closed in the area.”

Mr Thompson said the club spent approximately $2000 each year getting the wicket block prepared following winter sport and didn’t want to see this money go to waste.

Rather than waiting for the Christchurch City Council to remedy the problem, the club

wanted to take control of it, he said.

“What we are hoping for is the use of a water tanker that can flood the block on a Saturday night following the game, or on a Sunday. This is vital if we are to continue using the ground and providing a sports facility for the local community.”

Anyone who can help the club solve the problem can contact Mr Thompson on 021 530 266.

Sumner juniors improve through the season Ann Wells

WITH six Saturdays of competition completed, the Sumner Running Club junior athletes are continuing to show improving form in their new location at Burnside High School.

Four relay teams have been fielded with the grade nine girls, namely Tilly Pritchard, Sophie Berrill, Dominic Godfrey, and Millie Edmond, establishing a new club record of 1:09.56 in a tight race on November 19. Following their heels were the grade 10 boys Thomas Webley, Courtney Quinn, Josh Edmond, and Thomas Andrews and grade 10 girls Abby Theobald, Meg Webley, Tilly Pritchard, and Victoria Wells, finishing first and second respectively, and both narrowly missing club records by 0.8 of a second. The grade eight boys John Wells, Regan Jones, Blake Theobald, and Millie Edmond finished a commendable third, but were disqualified.

Thomas Webley continues to dominate both the 800m and 1500m, narrowly missing breaking his last record in the 800m. Similarly, Abby Theobald, Meg Webley, and Bridget Bell continue to show consistency in the longer distances.

John Wells continues to battle it out over the sprints with his main rival, Thomas Clarke of Christchurch Avon. To date, John has clocked the second-fastest grade eight boys' 60m and fastest 100m of the season. He is also performing well in both the discus and long jump.

Millie Edmond’s all-round versatility has seen her consistently finishing high up the list in her events. She produced the fastest 60m of the day and seconds in both the long jump and discus events.

Others showing good results are Harri Langworthy and Ed Cory-Wright in high jump, Georgia Webley and Josh Edmond in the 1200m track walks, and younger members Sam Clarke and Blake Theobald in the sprints.

In Timaru on November 26 to 27, Millie Edmonds broke the grade seven girls’ shot put record, John Wells on the grade eight boys’ discus (the record had stood since 2004), and Sam Caldwell on the grade 10 boys’ 1200m track walk.

The grade 14 girls 4 x 100m relay team broke the record by 0.01 of a second even though it was a makeshift team of Andie (14) and Jessica (12) Fitch, Abby Theobald (10), and Victoria Wells (10).

Swim series returns to Canterbury THE State NZ Ocean Swim Series will make its return to Canterbury in 2012 with the State La Grande Swim in Akaroa, and Christchurch residents are being offered a special incentive to enter.

The State La Grande Swim, formerly known as the Corsair Classic, will take place on Sunday, February 19. Organisers have said they remain committed to Canterbury’s inclusion in the nationwide series despite the event being cancelled due to storms in 2010 and earthquakes in 2011.

To recognise the difficult year the city has had, Christchurch, Waimakariri, and Selwyn residents who enter the State La Grande Swim are being offered a 50 per cent discount on the registration fee. Residents who have already registered are eligible for a partial refund.

Christchurch mayor Bob Parker was thrilled the event has remained in Canterbury.

“We’ve all travelled through rough seas recently and State La Grande Swim organisers committing to Akaroa as their new venue is a wonderful boost for the region.”

Swimmers can choose between the children’s 200-metre State OceanKids, the ‘Give It a Go’ 300-metre swim, the ‘Step It Up’ 1000-metre swim or the more challenging ‘I’m Going Long’ 2.8-kilometre swim around Akaroa Harbour.

Between 750 and 900 swimmers are expected to enter the event.

Registration for the State La Grande Swim closes at midnight on Friday, February 17. More information can be found at www.oceanswim.co.nz.
