Paula will miss the kids Christine de Felice

PAULA McKerrow’s custard squares will be just one of many things the staff will miss when the long-serving school secretary leaves Heathcote Valley School after 32 years.

“She puts in 150 percent and there’s a lot not mentioned in the job description that Paula does,” teacher aide colleague and close friend Janet Bruce said.

For Ms McKerrow, though, the

time has come to say good-bye to the place where she has worked since 1979.

“Friends told me, ‘you’ll know when you’re ready’ and it seems to me that the time has come,” she said.

After starting out as a parent-help and working in the library when her son began school there in 1976 (a fourth-generation pupil from her

family), in 1979 Ms McKerrow was asked to job-share in the office – 9am-12pm – by the then principal Eric Caulson.

As the school grew, so did the job – it’s now a 30-hour week role.

“The school has doubled in size since I came here. Running a school has evolved and now it’s more like running a business.”

Farmers’ market staying put for the time being

French frigate visits Lyttelton

PLANS to relocate the Lyttelton farmers market from Lyttelton Main School to the Lyttelton Port Company’s car park have been shelved.

This followed further engineering assessments of the building, which raised safety concerns and prompted evacuation.

“The Lyttelton Port Company had been looking forward to hosting the farmers market and regrets that the car park can no longer be made available due to safety concerns,” chief executive Peter Davie said.

“However, people’s safety and that of the community is paramount.”

“Naturally the farmers market team and vendors are disappointed that the move will be delayed, but completely agree with the Lyttelton Port Company that safety is paramount,” market manager, Lynnette Baird said.

“These are extraordinary times, and circumstances outside of everyone’s control can change even the best-laid plans.”

“We thank the Lyttelton Port Company for their honest and open communication, in what must be a challenging period in their corporate history.”

In the meantime the market team, are exploring other options.

Singing the Sacred comprises 36 hymns, for which Mr Wallace wrote the words.

“I’m not a musician. I created the melodies for the hymns and the great majority of the music has been written by Christchurch people. They created the harmonisations,” he said.

They include well-known musicians Graham Hollobon, Barry Brinson and Judith Thornley. David Childs (now deceased), the former music director at the Christ Church Cathedral, wrote the music for one of the hymns.

Singing the Sacred was launched last Sunday at St Andrew’s Rangi Ruru in Merivale Lane.

RETIRED Methodist minister Bill Wallace of Mt Pleasant has shown that the ecumenical spirit is alive and well with the launch of his latest hymnbook, Singing the Sacred.

It is the first of two volumes and the third book he has had published.

“The most interesting thing is that it is probably the first time in New Zealand that a Methodist minister has had a book of hymns published by an American company, whose stated aim is ‘to provide quality resources for Catholic parishes’,” Mr Wallace said.

His first hymn book, Something to Sing About, was published in Australia about 20 years ago, and his second, The Mystery Telling, about 10 years ago in the United From page 1

LYTTELTON played host to the French frigate Vendémiaire over the weekend of October 28-29..

The warship was on a goodwill visit to New Zealand coinciding with the Rugby World Cup and Akaroa’s biennial French Fest.

Stationed in New Caledonia, Vendémiaire’s prime role is patrolling the exclusive economic zones of the South Pacific policing fishing vessels and suspected smugglers.

Other duties include monitoring pollution as well as providing search and rescue, humanitarian and medical aid to regional populations.

School secretary retiring Ms McKerrow has worked for five principals, four of them teaching principals, “They inherited me,” she joked, adding, “They were all different and all had their own strengths.

“The school has been a huge part of my life, but I’m not sad

about going, now that I’ve made the decision.

“What I’ll miss is the contact with staff and kids. You get a rapport with some of the kids and when they learn to trust you it’s a real compliment.

“This is a very personal school,” Ms McKerrow said. “The staff all care about each other and are very supportive, and all the staff are treated the same.”

Ms McKerrow still keeps in touch with ex-pupils and was thrilled to meet up with many of them at the school’s 150th

Bill Wallace

jubilee last year. Some of them were second-generation pupils.

Although she liked having structure in her working life, Ms McKerrow was looking forward to a less structured life at her Heathcote Valley home, where she could do things when she felt like it.

“I would like to do voluntary work. I’m passionate about animals so I’d like to do something with Dog Watch or Cats Protection. I think there are fewer people able to do that now.

“I have two grandchildren and I’m looking forward to attending things like other grandparents do.

I like my garden, and I’ll be able to read the paper in the morning instead of the afternoon.”

She will also have more time for her three pug dogs, two cats, and several canaries, budgies and bantams. She has had an invitation to visit her daughterin-law’s family in Guernsey, but that won’t be immediately.

“I’m not a great one for travelling, I like my home,” Ms McKerrow said.

Fairy story becomes a film

CHILDREN’S story Freddie’s three fat fairies by Redcliffs writer Wendy Steeds started as a book, became a play, and is now a film. It has been shown at the Cannes Film Festival and is having its New Zealand premier in Sumner later this month.

After publishing the book in 2006, Mrs Steeds wrote the story as a play for the Kidsfest programme, which ran for two sell-out seasons.

Children were delighted by the tale of three naughty fairies stripped of their wings and banished to earth until they granted a wish that helped someone and were able to fly home again. “What makes the story different is that it is about a boy who sees fairies, and boys don’t see fairies,� Mrs Steeds said.

0800 4 SEASONS

Christchurch film-maker Guy Faes, who reviewed the play, saw its potential.

Mr Faes developed it into a one-hour film to be presented not just to the public, but also to people in the industry who could be interested in producing it as a feature film or a television series.

Everyone involved in making the film came from Canterbury and the work was voluntary.

It will be premiered at the Hollywood theatre in Sumner at 1pm on Sunday, November 20.

A prolific writer, Mrs Steeds writes all the scripts for the Original Scripts Theatre School. She currently has several other books on the go as well. She was also a wellknown classical piano teacher for many years.

House sale raises funds for Cholmondeley CHILDREN’S charity Cholmondeley has received more than $50,000 raised through an initiative by a Ferrymead hardware business.

A sponsored, quick-build house built using materials from Mitre 10 in Ferrymead was sold this month for a $51,000 profit, with proceeds going to Cholmondeley.

The three-bedroom, two-bathroom house has been permanently sited in North Canterbury. Smith Crane and Construction, which purchased the house, will use it for workers staying in Christchurch to help with the city’s rebuild.

The project almost ended in disaster earlier this year. The house was completed and ready to go to auction in February. On the morning of Tuesday, February 22 a meeting to finalise

the details was held in the house.

Two hours later the earthquake struck, sending the house sliding off its piles.

Owner of Mitre 10, Ferrymead, Tim Andrews, said the project was undertaken at a very difficult time but he was delighted with the outcome. “It would not have been successful without the support of a very wide range of people and organisations in the community that supported the project.�

General manager of Cholmondeley, Shane Murdoch, said that considering everything that had happened this year with the February earthquake, it was a great outcome. “Mitre 10 could have easily put things on the back burner but they just didn’t give up

and for that the board, children and staff of Cholmondeley are very grateful for the contribution they have made.�

Mr Andrews said the funds raised from the sale of the house had been intended for new kitchen and dining facilities at Cholmondeley, but would now go into a trust for the charity as the home was severely damaged in the earthquake and needed to be completely rebuilt.

The money would be put towards new facilities when the new Chomondeley home was designed, he said. “We are a community-based store and wanted to do something in our area.

Cholmondeley is a fantastic cause and they need a lot of support.�

Okains Bay New Year’s liquor restrictions extended

The area of the new alcohol ban.

A PERMANENT alcohol ban over the New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day will come into force in Okains Bay starting this year.

The ban will cover the beach and reserve area from 5pm on December 31 until 7am on January 1.

The permanent ban follows on from a temporary ban, introduced for the previous New Year’s period.

The Christchurch City Council approved the amendment to its Alcohol Restrictions in Public Places Bylaw 2009 at a meeting last week.

The ban makes it illegal to either drink or carry an open container of alcohol in public places during the prescribed time and people who breach the ban may be arrested and charged.

Honorary consul awarded knighthood and medal Christine de Felice SUMNER resident Lieve Bierque’s work for the Belgian community in Christchurch, which included helping them through the trauma of the February 22 earthquake, has been recognised with a title from her country of birth.

Ms Bierque was knighted by the Canberra-based Belgian Ambassador to Australia and New Zealand, His Excellency Patrick Renault, at a ceremony on Wednesday October 26. She was made a Knight in the Order of the Crown and received a special medal. “I see this as a beautiful honour,� Ms Bierque said.

She described it as the culmination of the “buildup of living and working in Christchurch over the last 19 years�. This has included her work with the local Belgian community of around 160 people, and promoting Belgium here and New Zealand in Belgium, especially through art.

In January 2010 she was appointed as Belgium’s honorary consul for the South Island.

Following the February quake, Ms Bierque acted as a facilitator, providing a link between the Canberra embassy, families in Belgium, Belgian people living here and the four Belgian tourists who were in the city.

None of the local Belgians were injured but they had damage to their homes. The tourists were safe and evacuated to Wellington.

Tracking people down on behalf of concerned families sometimes proved difficult, so her husband Gavin Bonnett suggested using Facebook, Ms Bierque said. “My husband and I work really well together. We are a team.�

Teamwork was an important aspect of all her activities with many others involved, Ms Bierque said. “I share my medal with a lot of people.�

In addition to her consular role Ms Bierque is an artist and head of the art department at Christchurch Girls’ High, a job she loves.

Young students show their photography skills THE annual Orton Bradley spring fair held on October 23 hosted an exhibition of photographs taken by a group of seven and eight year-old students from the Diamond Harbour Primary School for their photography project, Shoot It. The project was initiated by the Diamond Harbour Camera Club. The 22 entries covering three categories were judged by professional photographers, Linda and Peter Harper.

Graeme Keeley, one of the main drivers of Shoot It, hailed the project as a great success and said the judges had been impressed with the standard of photography.

Teacher Nathan Halliday described it as a “uniquely worthwhile curriculum extension project, building on what had been taught in class regarding the workings of the eye”.

Cricket club goes global to raise funds Christine de Felice

THE Heathcote Cricket Club has not let the grass grow under its feet – metaphorically speaking anyway.

After sustaining significant damage in the February 22 earthquake, the club has gone global in its quest for funding to repair their facilities.

“Our insurance pay-out was $125,000 and we used $40,000 of that for repairing our practice nets and retaining walls,” club captain Ian Cartwright said.

“With limited insurance cover we had to find additional funds to repair the clubrooms, the outdoor terracing and practice facilities. We needed to be up and running by the first weekend in October.

“We realised that money from other sources could dry up so we decided to go global by putting a video on our website to draw attention to our situation and attract donations.”

Sir Richard Hadlee agreed to front the video, which gave it credibility, and former All Black Aaron Mauger also lent his support, Mr Cartwright said.

The video has successfully attracted donations from the UK, Australia and New Zealand.

Some of the major donors from England include the Killington Cricket Club, Oxford UK, $1100; Gorran Cricket Club, Cornwall, UK, $1500; Middleton Cricket Club, Lancashire, UK, $800; and Heathcoat Cricket Club, Devon, UK, $400.

The Australian Honest Trundlers Cricket Club, which has played at Heathcote, donated $2000.

New Zealand donations have come from the NZ Cricket Foundation, $6000, the NZ Cricketing Rotarians, $3000, and the Queen Street Cricket Club, $2500.

“Brendon McCullum, Shane Bond and Nathan Astle have donated cricket memorabilia to be auctioned online to raise funds as well,” Mr Cartwright said.

The club also prepared a detailed 60-page proposal to support its fundraising efforts – the target is $100,000.

The damaged clubrooms were demolished in June and the rebuild started in July. For the 2011-12 season

‘Emotional’ Parihaka ceremony in Lyttelton Tom Doudney

LYTTELTON remembered its Parihaka ties with a special ceremony at the Rose Garden on Friday.

Although November 5 is better known to many as Guy Fawkes Day, it is also the date in 1881 when 1500 militia and members of the armed constabulary invaded the Maori settlement of Parihaka in Taranaki despite its people’s adherence to nonviolent resistance.

Chiefs Te Whiti o Rongomai and Tohu Kakahai, along with many other Parihaka men and boys, were arrested and imprisoned in jails throughout the country. Many of those prisoners ended up in the Lyttelton Jail.

Local kaumatua representing Ngai Tahu and Ngati Wheke, church ministers from Lyttelton and Christchurch and descendants of Parihaka captives including Lyttelton

Mt Herbert Community Board member Adrian Te Patu and his nephew, Taranaki carver Aaron Gardiner, were among the roughly 20 people present.

Several people spoke and Caine Tauwhare of Lyttelton’s Whakaraupo Carving Centre performed a haka.

Although this year’s ceremony was by invitation only, a wider community event is planned for next year. It was originally to take place this year but due to the Canterbury earthquakes the decision was made to postpone it.

Organiser Christine Wilson said this year’s ceremony had been particularly emotional.

“It was really quite a powerful and moving ceremony today for the people who were there.”

Mr Te Patu said more than one of the speakers had been tearful as they spoke.

Rebuilding: Club captain Ian Cartwright points out where half the clubrooms were demolished and will be rebuilt, as a club member practises his bowling technique.

the club will be operating out of half a clubrooms while it continues to fundraise to complete the clubrooms and replace the damaged roller shed, Mr Cartwright said.

“We hope to be even bigger than we were. Before the earthquakes we had seven adult teams and 90 junior members playing. The club was being used seven days a week for a range of other sports as well and as a community venue for meetings and functions.

In the winter Ferrymead Bays football use the ground and changing rooms. It’s a very important community facility.”

RECENTLY, the year 5 and 6 children from Lyttelton Main School went on camp to Living Springs. As soon as we arrived we went to our bunk rooms.

Lyttelton Main School slept in room 4 and harbour view.

On the ďŹ rst day we did three activities – air rifes, archery and low ropes. To get to them we had to walk down a path marked ‘short cut’. There were heaps of steps so we weren’t looking forward to walking back up.

When we got out of the short cut we were split into two groups. My group did air rifes and archery ďŹ rst. The other group did low ropes.

When we got back dinner was ready so we washed our hands and sat down to eat. Soon after we got ready for bed and went to sleep looking forward to the next day.

When we woke up we turned the heater on and got dressed fast. In about half an hour we went to the dining room for breakfast. We ate a good breakfast and then went outside where were we split into three groups for three activities – tree climbing, swimming and recreation.

I liked tree climbing because it was a challenge. I liked swimming because it was fun, but recreation activities were the best for me because we got to do

things like the monorail where you sat in a fast cart and went down hill. I also liked the ying fox, which was a really fast version of a normal one.

When we had ďŹ nished our day we went and had a lovely dinner of homemade hamburgers and chips and went to bed for an early night.

The next morning we woke up feeling a little sad because we were going home.

A few minutes later we started packing our things then we went into the dining room for breakfast. After we had eaten we were called into the lounge. As we trudged back we started talking about who was going to clean what.

Later in the day we were put into groups for orienteering. Some of the markers were hard to ďŹ nd but some of them were easy. It was really fun.

At 12 o’clock it was lunchtime. Soon after that we played the animal survival game. I survived oods, disease, other animals and the hunter, only to die of thirst.

Then the parents arrived with cars to take us back to school and our camp was over. But we left wanting to come back again one day.

Tourism operator ready Temporary rock site for challenging season blocks car park AKAROA is the main port of call for cruise ships visiting Canterbury this season and Black Cat Cruises is committed to making sure it is prepared.

“Cruise ships are a huge bonus for us in what is set to be a challenging season, but we are moving ahead with a staff head count only marginally behind a normal year,” Black Cat Cruises managing director Paul Bingham said.

“We are getting very good support from the cruise ships and as the largest tourism operator in Akaroa we are happy with the business so far and feedback in general has been excellent.”

Bingham said seven staff have

been recently employed for the summer season and Akaroa has handled its first cruise ship visits of the season extremely well.

“Restaurants, cafes, shops and operators have all been busy when a cruise ship is in; it has been great to see and we are looking forward to more of the same over summer.”

The Sea Princess was in Akaroa last weekend for its third visit of the season. The ship has room for 1950 passengers and 900 crew and will make two further visits this summer.

Bingham said it was also very important not to just think about the next month but to also focus on the next summer season and

next year.

It was very important that domestic and international visitors realise that Canterbury was open for business and that Christchurch still has an important ‘gateway’ role while recovery proceeds, he said.

“The region of Canterbury has some great options for visitors, and the French-inspired village of Akaroa offers relaxing restaurants, great cafes, sailing, cruising on the harbour and swimming with the rare Hector dolphins.”

Bingham said the company had also been looking at new products as well as ensuring its current ones stacked up well for the challenging summer season ahead.

Parking trouble: Rocks have replaced cars for the short term.

National Member Member of of Parliament Parliament National

ROCKS from a fall at the Causeway end of Beachville Road have been temporarily stockpiled in the car park area across the road next to the slipway.

The area where they fell was cleared recently to allow footpaths in the area to be reopened to the public.

This is part of the remediation work being directed by the Port Hills Geotechnical Group, which is contracted to the council to address geotechnical issues in the Port Hills caused by the recent earthquakes. At some point the rocks will be removed from their present site, with the intention being to use them in the repair of earthquake-damaged roads in the area, particularly along the Causeway for breakwater protection.

It wasn't easy to make a bakery work out of a portacom but where there is a will there is a way. “It was a mammoth job, we were lucky to even retrieve the big oven from the old premises, then we had to take it apart and all the bricks inside had to be dismantled just to get it inside the portacom,â€?says Ian Thankfully his hard work and determina on has paid o and Ly elton Bakery is as busy as ever.

WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 9, 2011

Our emergency services Coppers’ Corner WITH summer coming on and the evenings drawing out it’s time to remind you the low-life criminals out there are more likely to be out and about at popular hotspots such as rivers, beaches and parks where people are out enjoying the fine weather and long nights.

Criminals are opportunists and if you leave your cell phones, handbags or other expensive items in plain view in your car, they will jump at the opportunity, break in and steal your belongings – a very unpleasant way to end a great day.

So be smart, keep your valuables at home or at the very least out of sight.

At present we have a campaign to reduce the use of cell phones while driving. It’s an $80 fine and 20 demerit points..

While I am on a roadsafety theme, it amazes me that we are still issuing tickets for drivers speeding, especially in the temporary speed areas, and not wearing seat belts. The bottom line is that we will enforce these offences, as not only do they relate directly to road safety, but also, crashes caused by people speeding, or injuries caused by not wearing a seat belt take up valuable hospital beds. I make no apologies for my staff issuing tickets to drivers who do not comply. It’s a simple equation – don’t break the law and you won’t get a ticket.

That’s it from me this week, keep smiling.

Generous gift helps St John do its work in Lyttelton Tony Dowell

IT is getting close to the end of the year and it will be Christmas very soon!

After the difficult year the community has had it’s likely that when people think of the festive season, they’ll be thinking of friends and family and loved ones.

For those who have sadly lost loved ones this year, we extend our condolences and our thoughts.

Gifts are a big part of the festive season, and I’d like to pay particular attention to a gift given to St John in Lyttelton this year by Michael Evans and his team at Evans Shipping Ltd, an international shipping company based in Tauranga.

Michael and his team organised an appeal for St John following the February 22 earthquake. The campaign was very successful, raising $25,000, which has been donated to St John in Lyttelton for specialised medical equipment.

On the day of the February 22 earthquake, Lyttelton was isolated for some time as the road tunnel was closed and the way across the Port Hills was impassable. As a result, St John members who were in Lyttelton on the day were forced to use whatever resources they had to treat, assist and care for the community.

The emergency equipment the donation has paid for includes two defibrillators, five hand-held radios and a marine VHF radio. This important equipment will be available should Lyttelton be isolated in any significant future event.

Chair of St John Banks Peninsula, Pete Dawson, said the gift from Michael Evans and Evans Shipping Ltd was incredibly generous. “It’s one of the biggest gifts we have ever received, and it means that we in St John in Lyttelton will be as prepared as it’s possible to be should we find ourselves in such a situation again.

Many sincere thanks to Michael Evans and Evans Shipping for what they’ve done.”

This gift from Evans Shipping Ltd and the many other gifts St John has received since the earthquake

Good Vibes Sell Houses Most home sellers realise that good presentation will improve the appeal of their homes. Some are even prepared to spend up big in quest of the prestigious top dollar.

However, according to Greg Powell, Manager of Harcourts Ferrymead while attention to detail may make your house sell faster and add dollars to its price, spending a lot of money getting your home ready to sell may be a waste.

Buyers don’t always want to pay for improvements that are not to their taste and potential sales may be lost.

“On the other hand there are still a lot of simple things you can do to make your house welcoming and attractive,” Greg said. “Bear in mind that appeal is not just visual – other senses like hearing and smell all contribute to a purchaser’s evaluation of a property.”

According to Greg sensory stimuli such as noise and smell can be powerful emotional triggers and buyers could react negatively to features that are not even “fixtures” of the home. “Smokers and dog owners could burn essential oils or use room deodorisers,” Greg said. “Unpleasant or alien odours probably have a more negative effect than any other single attribute. Conversely, inviting smells like freshly brewing coffee or hot baked cakes have a positive impact.”

According to Greg loud or extraneous noises are a distraction at best and could even turn a buyer against the property. “While you won’t want to change the carpet just because it may not appeal to everyone, exuberant dogs or loud music are inexpensive to keep to a minimum. Even if your buyers are dog lovers, getting involved in canine rough and tumble may distract them from the real purpose of their visit.” Greg said that most purchasers have a checklist of criteria they use to evaluate properties on a rational and critical level.

“Yet they often end up making a decision based on emotion and not according to how the features match up to those on their list,” Greg said. “Most agents will tell you they have seen purchasers fall in love with properties that don’t meet all of their stated needs. Sometimes the positive effect is almost subliminal - days later people don’t know why they feel more positive about your home than a similar one down the road.”

Greg said that home sellers wanting further ideas on what to do when presenting their homes for sale should call into Harcourts Ferrymead and talk to one of our experienced Sales and Marketing Consultants.

Opportunities to succeed in music, sport and exams THE All Blacks’ victory in the Rugby World Cup was a great way start to the new term. The teamwork, resilience and effort they displayed were reflective of the SURFER values Sumner students aspire to.

Throughout this term, students will have many opportunities in the classroom, on the playing field and on the stage to embody these values.

Like the All Blacks, we know they will succeed.

Our Sumner School choir, under the direction of Mrs Robyn Lean, turned in an awesome performance on Wednesday at the opening night of the Christchurch Schools’ Music Festival. The choir put on a delightful show and many Sumner School families enjoyed the evening.

If you missed out, there will be opportunities to hear the choir later this term at the Bays cluster cultural event on November 22, the Sumner School Musical Concert on November 29 and the Christmas Carols at Scarborough Park on December 8.

Additionally, we are fortunate to have the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra coming to perform and the years 7 and 8 students will be learning contemporary and traditional dance.

Opportunities abound in term four for sporting excellence. Years 4-8 participated in athletics day on

Athletic action: Sumner School pupils competing on athletics day.

November 3 with all children having a go in a variety of track and field events. This event also determined qualification for the Southeast Zone Athletics competition.

Sumner School Years 0-3 will also hold a junior athletics day with the emphasis on all children participating in the events. Gymnastics continues and swimming will commence as weather permits. Sure to be a

highlight of the term is the Years 0 and 1 zumba dance concert.

Many Sumner students have chosen to take the ICAS exams this year and achieved excellent results. In the recent ICAS English exams Marisol Hunter achieved high distinction (top one percent of the country) with Jake Koekemoer, Alberta Hall, Finn Brokenshire, Jack Chapman, Katie Rossiter, Lawson O’Steen and Bleuette Hille all receiving distinction (top five to 10 per cent of the country).

Art book an inspiration for a new generation AT the start of the year the NZ Dyslexia Foundation were due to launch their wonderful art book ABSee at the Ellerslie Flower Show. That didn’t happen, but the book has inspired a new generation of artists!

The ABSee book showcases creativity and different ways of seeing the world through 26 original New Zealand artworks. The brainchild of Canterbury artist Tracey Tishrei, the book is a collector’s item and features works from respected artists including Tony Cribb, Rua Pick, Stephanie Crisp, Sheila Brown, Rebecca Herring, Karin Lange and Jenny Cooper.

Inspired by the book, Mt Pleasant School held an art enrichment week for a group of students to create their own artworks. The children were mentored by a number of the artists and guided by teachers, Ange

with professional artists. Otto’s artworks were inspired by Tony Cribb and Sheila Brown.

Recently Mt Pleasant School hosted the launch for the book and for the children’s art. They still have the ABSee book, prints of their artwork, posters of the collec-

tive alphabet and special book bags for sale. These items are still available from the school and will also be popping up at future events and markets. All funds will go towards the NZ Dyslexia foundation and Mt Pleasant School’s 4D programmes (For dyslexia. For difference).

Mt Pleasant School Tutt and Kellie Robinson. The children spent every morning for one week working on their canvases – planning, revising, working and editing. Each day a guest artist visited and offered further inspiration.

Each artwork represents a letter of the alphabet, but also shows something of the child’s world – from a jar of jellybeans to a large lamington, teetering houses and X-men.

Eight-year-old artist Sabina Redmond said, “It was exciting to know your art was going to be on posters and bags and that people would want to buy it. Normally you only get to do that when you are quite old.”

Having “real artists” work with the children was invaluable. They were able to offer tips and advice. Inspiration: Mt Pleasant School pupil Rebecca Yan and artist Sheila Brown.

Otto Paton, aged seven, said, “It Rebecca’s seagull painting was inspired by Sheila’s work that features in the was really fun and exciting to work ABSee book.

• 1 in 6 of us is affected by a neurological disorder • Christchurch has been at the forefront of neurological research through the Van der Veer Ins tute • This has expanded to become the New Zealand Brain Ins tute • Show your support and join the Friends of the NZ Brain Ins tute The story so far...

Cas van der Veer was a Canterbury businessman who didn’t let Parkinson’s disease get in the way of leading a full life. On his death in 2004, he gave a generous bequest to the Canterbury Medical Research Founda on. The funding of the first full me professor ( Tim Anderson of Parkinson’s disease ) laid the founda on stone for what has developed into the Van der Veer Ins tute for Parkinson’s and Brain Research. In 2006 the Canterbury Medical Research Founda on nego ated the research rights for CRG’s new 3T MRI scanner, located in the same building as the Ins tute. This greatly improved the level of care for people in the region, while enabling world class research. That research coming from the major ter ary ins tutes in Canterbury and the Christchurch Hospital.

The seed that was sown in 2004 has grown into a vibrant interna onal team of 50 staff and students, working together in two dedicated facili es, serving hundreds of pa ents. More than a thousand people have volunteered me in their research studies. The findings they generate are having an impact on the world stage. To reflect the wider role, we have changed our name to the New Zealand Brain Research Ins tute. Cas van der Veer’s vision will con nue to be recognised in the name of our Van der Veer Clinic.

Charlesworth’s first owner an English lord Bill Simpson CHARLESWORTH Wetland Reserve is a significant wildlife refuge in Christchurch. You can see it when you travel along Humphreys Drive between the Ferrymead Bridge and Dyers Road junction and look over at the inland side of the road. In recent years more than 80,000 native trees and shrubs have been planted there and herons and godwits have made it their home.

One of the mysterious characters linked to the reserve is the Hon. James Stuart-Wortley.

He arrived in this country at the age of 18 and at 21 became the youngest-ever member of New Zealand’s Parliament. Stuart-Wortley was the third son of the second Lord Wharncliffe.

The Lyttelton Times of March 1, 1851 records the grant by the Canterbury Association of Rural Section 15 of 100 acres to Lord Wharncliffe. The block stretched from the mouth of the Heathcote river to a position now marked by Charlesworth Street. (The north end of the “street” is the little white timber bridge over the canal on Humphrey’s Drive.)

Lord Wharncliffe never visited his land; his son was vested with power of attorney.

Stuart-Wortley came here on the CharlotteJane and The Cyclopedia of New Zealand describes him as “a man of means, and an accomplished gentleman”.

Born in York on January 16, 1833, he took his seat in the New Zealand Parliament in

Relaxing: Charlesworth volunteers take a well-earned tea break.

May 1854. His electorate included much of rural Canterbury and Westland. But he resigned in July 1855 and returned to England.

Little more is known of him other than that he unsuccessfully stood for the House of Commons in 1865 as Conservative Party candidate for Sheffield.

Now the land at Charlesworth is being

planted as an example of coastal biodiversity.

A keen group of volunteers tend the plants.

If you want to help you are very welcome to join the group on Sundays at 3pm at the Charlesworth Street entrance to the reserve.

Bill Simpson is a trustee and member of the Charlesworth Volunteer Maintenance Group.

Stickered event draws a good response Jocelyn Papprill

ON Saturday October 29, the Mt Pleasant Community Centre and Residents’Association held a very successful ‘stickered’ evening at which Penny Arthur from Community Law spoke about the advisory role their lawyers can play. She explained that a number of people in the eastern suburb red zones have used their free services to understand the processes they face and to determine where they may actually need to engage a lawyer.

Much of the advice ensures people do not face unnecessary costs when working through the legal paperwork of the government offer or rebuild issues.

A second speaker, Janine Starks (Liontamer Investments) talked about the various financial issues people have raised with her since the Canterbury quakes. She has written about many of them in her regular newspaper column and they are issues many of us face as we work through EQC,

insurance, architectural, building and council requirements. Those in attendance welcomed her commonsense advice on thorough record keeping and vigilance.

Three local architects – Justin Leadbetter, Duval O’Neill and Wulf Borrmeister – were also on hand to answer questions about designing and building on hill properties.

Many questions were raised and they advised people to err on the side of caution with regard to foundation work, and particularly to gather as much geotechnical and engineering advice as possible before rebuilding. Each of the architects can provide complete management of a rebuild project.

The highlight of the evening was the premiere of Jo Davies’ documentary Mt Pleasant – the forgotten suburb, which he filmed as part of the requirements for NCEA Media Studies at Linwood College. The 15-minute video showed images of the damage our

suburb suffered on February 22 and featured interviews with several residents.

For many present his vignette was a poignant reminder of what we have been through and the various ways we have responded to the challenges.

The good news for our community is that the community board and council have approved the siting of our temporary building on a small section of reserve land near the squash courts.

We are grateful for the support from council staff and elected members in progressing this work. We are now moving through the consent process and, all going well, we should have our temporary community centre on site and operating before Christmas.

THE Sumner Business Group was formed last year by a group of enthusiastic local business owners who were keen to revitalise the Sumner Business Association that had once been a prominent part of the business community.

Last year we met and discussed the summer ahead and the Rugby World Cup coming to town, it was exciting and we were passionate about putting Sumner on the map with all the visitors to our great city.

How things change. Whoever thought life could be literally tossed upside down in a matter of moments.

For our business community (much like those at home) it has been an ongoing scenario of picking up the pieces and figuring out how to carry on.

For those with comprehensive insurance policies, this has perhaps been a little easier. For those without, no doubt it’s been a struggle to keep an income and business afloat.

Watching Sumner Village shrink and grow on a daily basis has been sad and

fascinating at the same time. Buildings have been razed whilst new business has sprung up around them. The new eateries have been busy, Chrissie’s second-hand clothing shop is back open after a fix-up and Sumner’s loss of Morgan & Paige is Redcliffs’ gain.

The incumbent gallery looks to occupy the location for now, but it seems the future of that block of buildings is still unknown.

It’s great to see the wine shop extending further into their space with a wonderful new astroturf frontage and more container space.

You’ll have to really twist my arm to get the low-down on the Ruptured Duck site with the big yellow gift box as it’s ‘secret squirrel’ for now, but rest assured the pop-up shop on the site will be something entirely different and vibrant for the village.

Most certainly there is a positive vibe in the air as we look forward to summer, sunshine, longer days and hopefully, clean beaches. Just remember to support your community by thinking and shopping ‘local’ Delivery: Donated flower baskets will add to and together we can and will recover.

Touch module proving popular Robert Liebert

WHAT a great start to the new Bays cluster touch module – 24 teams from years 1-8 played at Ferrymead park and had a ball. Included were mixed teams from the two Lyttelton schools.

On arriving at Sumner school the other day a boy behind me said, “Hi Rob! I enjoyed touch yesterday.� �O cool, why was that?�

I asked. He slowly went on to say, “Well, we got on really well. We didn’t do as good as the other team had more points, but it’s about how you play and not about winning.�

Well I was quite blown away as the boy was eight

and at that age I think I was only learning to tie my shoe laces! Of the 200 students that took part 75 percent hadn’t played before so it has been a real success to get so many involved.

Many of the schools ran athletics days last week and I had the pleasure of getting to Our Lady Star of the Sea school and Sumner school briefly.

A ‘well-oiled’ machine of staff and parents run a successful day.

Star of the Sea school with 100 students was friendly and really encouraging. The small nature of the school allows

them to know everyone well and the students enjoy close friendships.

Lots of talent on display and a very successful and happy event.

Coming up is the south

east zone athletic champs on November 15 and Canterbury champs on December 1. It’s exciting to note there is also an inter touch module competition. I will send

the best players to play in a one-day tournament.

Results for touch will be published next issue. Till then, come and be part of the fun at Ferrymead every Wednesday after school.

Cricket team coming home to St Leonard’s THE team is extremely excited about the prospect of returning to St Leonard’s Square. Very few of us live in Sumner but we play for the club because of its great atmosphere and its beautiful cricket ground.

Not having played there in two years, it has been a long time waiting and a lot of work has gone into getting it ready.

It is still not at its original state but we are getting there. We have had working bees and the new groundsman Scott Williams is working hard and

learning from the previous groundsman Des Lyons to get it ready.

We have had some hurdles with irrigation issues and water restrictions making growth difficult but it will be great to be back at the ‘Laz’ or the ‘sacred acre’ as we like to call it again.

The clubrooms have also been recently renovated so St Leonard’s will soon be looking magnificent once again.

The season so far‌ THE

Sumner

men’s

senior cricket team has had an extremely successful and dominant start to the season with three wins from three games and was well on top at the halfway stage of its most recent match against Halswell.

The first game was an emphatic first-up win against Merivale Papanui in the opening one-day match (Sumner 235-6, Merivale 162 all out).

This was followed by two low-scoring affairs against Hornby at Denton Park. An outright twoday win (Hornby 52 all

out, Sumner 54-2) was followed by a twenty20 win also at Denton Park (Hornby 47, Sumner 506).

In Sumner’s most recent clash, against last year’s top side Halswell at Halswell Domain, the hosts were put into bat and Sumner were on top early taking wickets consistently and rolling them for 62 in the first innings.

Andrew Vann was the main destroyer with 4-13.

Sumner then replied with a well-compiled 161-9 with captain Dan Vann top scoring with 37, followed

by Nick Franzmann, 27 and Chris Posa, 18.

This meant Sumner had the opportunity to have another crack at the wounded Halswell and the team took advantage, finishing the day with Halswell on the ropes at 35-6 in the second innings.

Vann, Dan Fielding and Nathan Columbus were also selected to play for the Suburban XI against Mid Canterbury recently.

The Suburban team posted 172-9 all out with Mid Canterbury getting to within 20 runs before losing their final wicket.

Good performances as season starts

Effort: Sumner’s Blake Theobald competing in the grade 7 boys 60m at Burnside.

Lockie Campbell TAKING on a mixed bag of weather and a slightly damp track, the Sumner Running Club junior athletes competed during the holidays in the first two meets of the Canterbury children’s athletics 2011/12 season.

Having been displaced from QEII by the February earthquake, competition has relocated to Burnside and Rawhiti to enable the athletes to compete in their regular Saturday competition. About once a

month the athletes travel to Timaru to compete on the all-weather track facility at Aorangi Park.

There have already been a number of good performances by both current and new members.

Millie Edmond remains undefeated in the girls’ grade 7 discus and over the October 29-30 weekend in Timaru she broke a longstanding club record with a throw of 11.12 metres.

Thomas Webley has also started the season well with

(2007) LTD

wins in the grade 10 boys 800m (also a club record) and 1500m. Josh Edmond was the third junior to pick up a club record when he won the grade 10 boys 1200m track walk.

Bridget Bell and Victoria and John Wells are newcomers to the club and have shown excellent early-season form. John is looking particularly good in the sprints with a win in the grade 8 boys’ 100m and a second in the discus.
