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 difficult 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.

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

Bells safely stored Christine 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 fittings 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.

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 profits 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-fired pizzas.

“People will be able to do their Christmas shopping and then have tea on our field 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 career

Time to sit back: John Thawley relaxes in his Mt Pleasant garden.

Continued from page 1 Mr Thawley next spent five years as deputy principal at Lyttelton West, where he was the first 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 Commodore 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 curriculum, taking students on the Waimakariri.

Living Springs to beneďŹ t from Lyttelton stage cover Tom Doudney

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 CafÊ 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 CafÊ owner Pete Evans had wanted to maintain the stage for further performances until The Loons could reopen. However the structure’s reclassification 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

“During my first 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 first 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.

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-changing 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 holidays 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.

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 specifics. “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.�

Draft master plan released for public comment

MA DE I N

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 LyttletonMP@ ccc.govt.nz ; 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 benefits from charity ball and auction

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

Redcliffs Library back on Main Road Christine de Felice

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 fixed after February but then the June quake finished 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 redstickered 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 find 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.”

A DONATION of $50,000 from the Rotary Club of Christchurch Charitable Trust has significantly 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 Blanchfield 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 flight for two to Europe with Emirates, a cocktail party for 40 at the Tuck shop (CBS Arena), and a flight in a Harvard aeroplane.

Handover: Shelley Keach, fundraiser for Cholmondeley, Neil Blanchfield 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.

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.

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 wellbeing by encouraging participation in recreation and the community.

EFFORTS 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 significant 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 fix - this is effectively an immediate order to vacate the property.”

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

“While we understand that it is difficult 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

PAGE 7

Have your say on Banks Peninsula water management How we manage water is a key factor influencing our quality of life and prosperity both now and for future generations.

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

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 Ferrymead 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 liaison team, said.

The 14 youngsters, all from foster care, were asked to submit their recipes for selection 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 seriously 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 Stevenson 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 pizza 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.

Ms Sherry said CYF was still actively recruiting for foster carers in Christchurch.

Our emergency services

Fireman awarded with gold star Christine de Felice

VOLUNTEER fireman 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 fire 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 fire service the volunteers deal with fires, motor vehicle accidents and fire 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 defibrillator and all the other trauma equipment an ambulance would carry, we carry on the fire 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 office 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 Recognition: Bob Palmer, right, is congratualted by Chris Price of UFBA after receiving his gold star. on November 12 by the United Fire Brigade Association.

Volunteer firefighters trained to a high standard Daryl Sayer

YOUR local volunteer fire 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 firefighters 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 fire 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 traffic flow. 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 firefighters 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 fire; October 19 – four calls for flooding due to rain; October 19 – alarm activation; October 20 – alarm activation; October 25 – gas leak; and October 30 – rubbish bin fire.

What is pain?

WE ARE HERE

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.

Hum

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 mostt 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 n and what medical conditions the patient may suffer from.

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.

School notice board

Making our school a greener place John Thawley

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

Over the years, particularly in the 20th century and definitely in the 21st century, school committees 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 ary 2000, when I was fortunate first attempts; it has flourished to enough to be the new principal develop into the magnificent tree and taking part in the planting that shades our south-western of another oak tree, now called corner of the playgrounds.

It joined several the children don’t have access other species planted, such as a magnificent to the shade provided, as Lyttelton Main School kowhai at the western part of we have had to close off the corner of the the grounds to soften the congrounds due to damage in the crete look of the school. These trees have turned the school into nearby rooms.

I came back to school after a relaxing fortnight in Sydney to find a very welcome sight. Trees had been pruned, undergrowth cleared away and dozens of plants – vegetables and flowers – had been planted in every available space. There are hanging baskets along verandas, and flowers and other plants in pots.

Celebrating the return of the tui Lyttelton musician

launches new album

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

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 identified by a combination of coloured leg-bands.

Released tui have been sighted as far afield 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.

LYTTELTON-based musician Lindon Puffin, 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 Puffin had spent two years in Auckland recording the album, before returning to Lyttelton to film a music video of the first 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

Paula Smith 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 peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives better.

As trains rumble underneath I think about how rivers of freight flow through Canterbury squeezing together to pass through the Port Hills tunnels to reach the sea. Thinking about all the ways the freight money flows 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 Lytteltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 flows through Lyttelton along Norwich Quay, effectively cutting the town off from its waterfront and limiting the kind of peoplefriendly 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 financial 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, five and six are rarely used, and two of the oldest finger 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 waterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

Making it up as they go along Islay McLeod

I HAVE a certificate 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 theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d failed to open sector posts following the September 4 and February 22 quakes and the quality of their volunteers was under scrutiny. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why they hoovered up council staff in February. I was a council staff member in 2006.

On February 18, I attended the mega-briefing 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, â&#x20AC;&#x153;No it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t!â&#x20AC;?

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-briefing, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d come across a report online (itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still there) into

WULQD GHOLV_QDWXURSDWK

EQCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preparedness and likely role in a major earthquake disaster. Everything that review suggested is what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ended up having to provide. Christchurch has worn the results of EQCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s failure to action that review.

No central or local government entity had a major disaster recovery plan. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re making it up as they go along and Christchurch residents are the lab rats. Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The role of the EQC in mitigating the economic and social impacts of major disasters in New Zealand should not be underestimated.â&#x20AC;?

Thirteen months on from the first of the rolling disasters, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned one thing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 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 theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d trained, I could have popped round the corner to Linwood.

Community groups / residents’ groups

Tree removal proves fatal Bill Simpson IN 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 office.

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 estuaryedge 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 Hard at work: Sue Charmley and Tanya Jenkins volunteering at Charlesworth Reserve.

Charlesworth volunteer maintenance group.

Fundraising keeps service group busy IT’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 filling 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, Kidsfirst 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.

Encouraging kids Robert Liebert THE southeast zone athletics held on November 15 was a real hit with amazing performances by some 500 students. Even Reuben Cotter, who wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so keen in joining the year 12 boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; long jump, ended up winning.

I have seen this many times where students arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t confident, 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 finish first 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 first 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 fifth.

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 Tigers Years 1 to 2 group 2 Lyttelton White Years 3 to 4 Mt Pleasant Dolphins Years 5 to 6 Sumner and Heathcote Valley and Years 7 to 8 Redcliffs.

Wicket taker: Andrew Vann wins by taking eight wickets in Sumnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s toughest opponents; however, Sumner made an emphatic statement in its quest for silverware this season, winning by innings and seven runs.

Batting first, 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 finish 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 Leonardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Square being called off after only six overs.

Great summer of surfing ahead

Aaron's Surf Report

PHONE TODAY

SCARBOROUGH Beach was finally 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 surfing 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 finally 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 flow so there will be plenty of south swell up the coast but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 surfing 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 womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s with Leilani Brain (New Brighton) second.

Mike Christensen (New Brighton) won the masters event. Dan Warren (New Brighton) won the longboarding. 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 first event was on November 19 at New Brighton and the next event will be in Westport on December 10, with the final event back here in Canterbury on January 28. This series is great for any surfers under 17 years wanting to get into competitive surfing. Check it out at www.sisa.co.nz.

With all the city beaches now open and the water warming fast itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to dust off the summer wetty and Big surf: Aaron Lock rides the waves at Taylors Mistake. Photo by Eli Shingleton. put away the booties. See you in the soup!

Experience Europe with a Small Group Tour

SMAL L

GROU P&S ELF G UIDE D TO URS

Europe has a wild heart of rugged mountains, but this is also a continent that excels at gentle pleasures, be it a cycle between timeless Provencal villages, a walk along cliff-top trails to the cubist villages of the Amalfi Coast, or an exploration of the table, sampling Italy’s or Spain’s many gastronomic highlights.

When you experience the world with our favourite small group adventure company, you are taken off the beaten track during the day then home to plenty of creature comforts at night thanks to 3 and 4 Star accommodation. English-speaking local leaders help you unlock the Christine McGillen

secrets of each destination, and you'll benefit from their years of expertise.
