Twelve hardy people, including one woman, braved extremely chilly conditions on Sunday for the annual mid-winter swim organised by Naval Point Yacht Club. Club secretary Ken Camp said he was surprised at the turnout, considering it had been a very frosty morning. Participants warmed up afterwards with a tot of rum supped by a cosy fire. Photo: Supplied
Supermarket’s future site uncertain Christine de Felice
AFTER waiting 16 months to see a supermarket reopened on London Street, Lyttelton residents will now have another wait to find out what business or businesses will operate on the site. Foodstuffs, which was planning to reopen a Four Square on the site, will now not be doing so, general manager property & retail development, Roger Davidson, told Bay Harbour News. “We will have no further involvement in London St, but we are endeavouring to secure another site in Lyttelton, and we are still very much committed to Lyttelton,” Mr Davidson said. Leasing of the London St site was taken over by the commercial arm of real estate firm Harcourts. Submissions to lease the site closed on Friday. “Any offers we receive will be presented
to the landlord for consideration,” agent Phil Holt said. There were no criteria for the type of business that could lease the space, Mr Holt said. One suggestion for the premises, which was put forward in last week’s Lyttelton Review, the newsletter from Lyttelton Project, was to have a number of individual operators sharing the space. This could be along the lines of an indoor market, Brian Rick of the recently formed Harbour Co-op said. There had been some response to the idea from local businesses, including people in food retail and hospitality, he said. “We would like to see it being quite a flexible space, which could also be used for functions and events. There is also an area at the back that could be used as office space.” The submitters were asking for six weeks in which they could pull it all together, Mr Rick said.

Lyttelton/Mt Herbert Community Board chair, Paula Smith, said the board had been quite concerned about the site remaining empty. “We have been dismayed at the slow redevelopment of the supermarket site. That’s quite a big section of London St that could be a blank space for the foreseeable future so any activity, whether temporary or permanent would all help the recovery of Lyttelton,” Ms Smith said. However, one board member, Andrew Turner, who is also chairperson of the Lyttelton Business Association, said he was sounding a note of caution about the idea of a group of operators taking up the space. “I would be cautious about a community group getting involved in such a large-scale operation. I would also be concerned about the history of failures of previous businesses on that site,” he said.

Concessions for heavy vehicles in the tunnel through the tunnel at any time. Certain classes of dangerous goods can be transported through the tunnel between 7pm and 6.30am. Vehicles with the classes of dangerous goods that can be carted through the tunnel must be checked by a tunnel control officer before entering the tunnel. Drivers are asked to wait in the appropriate lay-by until a tunnel control officer gives them approval to proceed into the tunnel.
DUE to the earthquake-related closure of Evans Pass, which was the main route between Christchurch and Lyttelton for over-dimension heavy vehicles, the NZ Transport Agency is currently allowing some previously prohibited goods to be transported through the Lyttelton Tunnel under specific conditions. This includes the transportation of liquid goods with a flash point of 23 degrees Celsius or less. Explosives are not allowed to be transported

Generous donation: Accepting the cheque from Peter Sladen are, from left, Patrick McSoriley, Reuben Cotter, Fletcher Dick, Eva Stone, Milly Collins and Quinn Michael – the school’s year eight students.
Donation will help fund trip to Wellington A GROUP of year eight pupils from Our Lady Star of the Sea School are taking a trip to Wellington for a ‘capital city experience’ – a break from living in the earthquake-affected suburb of Sumner. To help them on their way, Peter Sladen, president of the Lions Club of Ferrymead, presented them with a cheque from the Lions Clubs District 202E Earthquake Relief Fund.
The school’s principal, Margaret Coleman, said the pupils would benefit enormously from the visit, which will include guided lessons at Te Papa and a tour of Parliament, organised by local MP Ruth Dyson. The pupils have also been fundraising by selling chocolate, running a Spellathon and organising sausage sizzles on consecutive Fridays.

“We want to be more supportive of community groups and more focused on bringing the community and support groups together.” The new community hub needed to be a relocatable building, Ms Kent said. “We are looking for contributions from people in the community. They could be builders willing to offer their time and expertise, or people able to provide materials. “We need the community to rally together to create the community hub. We need to come together to make this happen. As they say, ‘Don’t wait for things to happen, make them happen’.”

Tsunami sirens being installed WORK is underway installing the tsunami warning system along Christchurch’s coastal area. Last week contractors began to install the 22 sirens from Waimairi Beach to Sumner, which Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker said would be operational from July 1. “Contractors will spend the next three weeks installing the sirens and silently testing the system. “Residents will get to hear the sirens for the first time on Sunday, July 22 at 11am when the sirens will be tested for one to two minutes. Mark this date in your diary now and let your neighbours know to avoid any confusion,” Mr Parker said. It was important that residents were able to identify the sound the sirens make to know when they needed to evacuate the coastal area, he said. “If during the testing the sirens are reactivated for more than 10 minutes, it will no longer be a test. Residents are advised they will need to evacuate the area.”

The day of the testing was also a good time for all residents along coastal Christchurch to make sure they have an evacuation plan in place for themselves and their family, as selfevacuation may be necessary in the event of a tsunami. Businesses along coastal Christchurch also needed to have an evacuation plan and ensure staff knew where the closest evacuation route was to their workplace, Mr Parker said. Further testing of the sirens will happen twice a year on the Sundays when Daylight Saving begins and ends. “There is a risk of tsunami inundation in Christchurch but that risk is considered low and has not changed as a result of the recent earthquakes,” Mr Parker said. The sirens will not be used in the event of a local tsunami; however, they may be used in a regional tsunami, depending on when the tsunami is expected to reach land. The sirens are for when a distance tsunami is heading towards our shores and there would be sufficient notice to activate the sirens, Mr Parker said.

THE Spirit of Adventure Trust is holding a special event tomorrow for past voyagers and volunteers as a lead-up to its 40th birthday celebrations next year. Anyone who has been on a Spirit of Adventure youth development voyage, or has been involved in the trust in any way over the years, is invited to attend. “We just want to say thanks for the support and talk about our plans to bring the ship to visit Lyttelton next year,” Spirit of Adventure Trust community and school liaison Kylie Sisley said. “It’s a great chance for past trainees or volunteers to reconnect with old friends, reminisce about their experiences on board the ship or just find out about our big plans for 2013.” The informal get-together is being held from 6pm to 8pm tomorrow at the Mount Pleasant Yacht Club.

New noticeboards installed in Heathcote Sara Templeton
LOCALS walking around Heathcote recently will have noticed some new information hotspots. After last year’s earthquakes wreaked havoc in Christchurch, the community needed information. With no power in many areas, informal boards popped up on lampposts and fences, and flyer drops provided essential information. As part of the community’s recovery strategy, the Heathcote Village Project, under the umbrella of the Heathcote Valley Community Association, has organised five new community noticeboards for the valley. With funding from a grant and using salvaged and re-purposed materials, Keith Jenkin made the boards. Window Treatments provided the glass. The first two noticeboards went up the
weekend before last. A team from the Village Project installed one board outside St Mary’s church hall on Martindales Road and the other is on Bridlepath Road at Heathcote Valley School. The exact sites for the other three are yet to be confirmed, but they will be going up in the next couple of weeks. The noticeboards are to be used for local information – upcoming events and meetings, as well as other information useful for residents. Contact details for those wanting to put up information will be placed on the noticeboards, along with guidelines for the notices. Email lists have also been set up for information dissemination. Anyone wanting to get regular emails should email heathcotevillageproject@gmail.com and ask to join the email group.

Of the 48 runners who competed, 18 qualified for the Canterbury Primary Schools’ CrossCountry Championships, which were held last Wednesday at Halswell Quarry. Of these 18, the following Sumner results were particularly notable: 9 yr girls - Beth first, Gabrielle second; 9 yr boys - Jack R first, Jack F second; 10 yr boys - Finn T second; and 12 yr boys Thomas first. Two students who competed at Halswell Quarry, Jack R, who placed 2nd, and Jack F, who placed 6th, have been selected for the Primary Sports Canterbury cross-country
team. They will compete against runners from Nelson, Marlborough and Wellington in September at an event held in Wellington. Well done to Jack and Jack and thank you to Mr Cole and Chris Rowe for coordinating these events. Sumner school entered four teams in the recent Otago Daily Times School Spelling Competition. The years 5-6 teams did particularly well with Sumner 1 (Alberta, Toby and Finn B) achieving third and Sumner 2 (Finn T, Fergus and Reuben) achieving fifth out of 30 teams. The years 7-8 teams, Sumner 1 (Marisol, Callum and Jack) and Sumner 2 (Lawson, Mila and Josh), competed against 70 teams and put forth an excellent effort in the competition.
Cross-country competitors: Max McLachlan and Stella Reid will compete in the next round of competition.
of our staff (including me) are participating in the weekly Te Reo classes. I know we are finding it both challenging and rewarding, and the efforts to get this initiative off the ground by Keri Whaitiri are much appreciated. I have also been challenged to ‘blog’ and my efforts can be found on the school website. At the moment, the blogs are short, current and about school happenings. I am enjoying being able to blog from my phone. The trick is to remember to!
We are looking forward to exciting times with Lyttelton West School celebrating 125 years on Sunday, October 21, 2012. This will be a celebration of the past, present and future of Lyttelton West School. Pre-registration forms are available from our website www. lytteltonwest.school.nz.

Temporary community Founding trustee awarded centre opens its doors for her services Martin Maguire
AFTER months of struggling with funding, obtaining essential services and dealing with the retrieval of the contents of the old community centre, Mt Pleasant Residents’ Association was excited to finally open the doors of its temporary community centre on Tuesday, June 12. The committee’s vision for the centre is that it will be a well-used space with organised activities and events, but also have time allocated for residents to simply drop in, flop on the sofa and chat about what’s going on for them, or arrange to meet others there for coffee. Since Linda has started the coordination role, she has been amazed at the people she has met from the community, who have tremendous skills and talents. “I am looking forward to drawing on those talents and skills to make this a really enlivened community, where we can work creatively on our own solutions to the problems or issues we face and develop a strong community identity,” she said. The building may not be flash but with the creative skills of our new maintenance man, Les, a pig’s ear is quickly becoming a silk purse. Regardless of looks, the association is very grateful to Rotary and Westpac for

providing the means for Mt Pleasant residents to have a community space once again. The centre will initially be staffed three part days per week by co-ordinator Linda Rutland but we hope that before too long, with the aid of volunteers, we can move to staffing this five days per week. The centre is open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 11am to 3pm. For all inquiries email coordinator@xtra.co.nz or phone Linda 384-2160.

IT’S always pleasing to see the work of someone who doesn’t seek the spotlight being recognised and commended for the value they add to their community. One of these people is Tanya Jenkins, who is an active member and founding trustee of the Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust. Tanya has been awarded the Queen’s Service Medal for her services to conservation. From 1992 to 2002 she was an active committee member, and education officer, for the Friends of the Estuary (an organisation that advocated for the protection and improvement of the Avon-Heathcote Estuary). She developed a primary schools resource for students, and from 1994 to 2001 approximately 20,000 students visited the estuary. From 2002, Friends of the Estuary and other groups combined into a single entity – the Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust. Tanya was a key founding member and chaired the trust’s education and publicity working party. She initiated and organised the first Farewell to the Godwits ceremonies for Christchurch. This event has been running for 11 years and attracts nearly 1000 people each year. The event has instilled a deep sense of community pride and interest in this remarkable species. In 2008, she founded the Charlesworth Reserve volunteer maintenance group. This is an active team of volunteers who meet every Sunday afternoon to plant, weed and mulch trees and shrubs in the Charlesworth Wetland Reserve on the edge of the Avon-Heathcote Estuary. She is a leader in creating respect and pride in the natural environmental of Canterbury – especially through her work in education and her innovative promotion of the environmental values of the Canterbury coast and the Avon Heathcote Ihutai/Estuary. Through her contagious enthusiasm and
Passionate conservationist: Tanya Jenkins displays a photograph of godwits. Thanks to her efforts, the community has developed a strong interest in the species.
commitment to environmental awareness and action, Tanya has managed to get other people excited and active in restoring and protecting the natural and physical environment. The Ihutai Trust is a volunteerbased organisation. We are immensely proud that one of our founding members and foremost volunteers has been recognised for her commitment, not only to the environment but also to our community. Martin Maguire is the chairperson of the Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust.

Opportunity for vendors to join the market Tom Davies
DUE to the seasonal nature of the market and fresh produce, Mount Pleasant Farmers Market has a few vacancies for vendors of fresh and home-cooked produce. The recent weather has had an effect on picking and getting vegetables out of the ground, but root vegetables such as parsnips and potatoes are in plentiful supply, as are sprouts, pumpkins and a full variety of potatoes. Growers, such as Cam of Grown, are working flat out at every dry and sometimes not so dry opportunity to ensure fresh food is available every week. Hot coffee, hot soup, pies, curries and koshari are always available to keep the shoppers warm as they complete their weekly shop. Roast pumpkin with chopped rosemary is a great winter warmer at the moment, as is pumpkin soup. Broccoli and blue cheese soup from Volcano goes down well. Recently, musician Eddie Simon was moved to tears as he played at the market. He was astounded at the generosity of both the public and the traders who all gave him produce for his brilliant performance. The Sweetheart Bakery goes wild The pie selection includes: wild game pies such as hare and caramelised onion, venison, port and cranberry, wild goat and merlot, wild pork, cider and Dijon as well as traditional and contemporary products. These include traditional Cornish pasties and beef and ale, lamb and rosemary and chicken and white wine pies. All pies are made slowly without any short cuts. Meat is hand-cut to size, seared in pans and braised slowly in small batches with stock and herbs till tender. Nothing can be rushed and attention to detail at every step is essential to create the authentic end product. With flaky light puff pastry and a rich filling, you can enjoy the pies without guilt, as they are made using ingredients you would find in your own pantry, without additives and preservatives. The meat itself is also virtually fat-free, making it a healthier choice. An interesting recipe to try,
from Jock Innes:
Glenda watched the community centre come down with a tear in her eye as she Venison cassoulet looked back on the building that was This uses a tougher cut of meat so such an important part of her life. cook slowly to keep it moist. “I am confident that the Mt Pleasant Ingredients: community will come together and build 1kg venison cubed (shoulder or a new and even better centre around the other tough cut) 2 onions sliced 1 celery stalk chopped 3 cloves garlic 3 stalks fresh thyme/rosemary 1 tbs brown sugar 1 cup red wine 1 tsp malt vinegar 1 tbs tomato paste Salt and cracked pepper Roll venison in seasoned flour and brown in a hot pan. Place meat in a casserole dish; add garlic, onions, celery and herbs. Cover with wine, vinegar, sugar and tomato paste. Cover the dish and place in oven (180 degrees Celsius) for three hours. When meat is tender, taste sauce and add salt to achieve desired flavour. Serve with herbed roasted potatoes. Grower of the week Kevin and Glenda Hay produce spray-free cherry tomatoes in Opawa. The tomatoes are grown from seed every year in their own glasshouses and no sprays are used. They also sell free-range Annie’s eggs, from Ashburton. The chickens roam free in huge paddocks and produce some of the best eggs around. Kevin and Glenda can be termed true locals. They were among the original traders at the very first Mt Pleasant Farmers Market and haven’t missed a market yet. Glenda was born in Mt Pleasant and her parents helped fundraise and build the recently demolished community centre. She went to kindergarten and later Girl Guides at the Mt Pleasant community centre. She lived on the hill and went to the old Mt Pleasant School on Old School Reserve. She met Kevin, from Heathcote, at Linwood College and when they married their wedding reception was held at the community centre. They regularly went to dances and functions there.

I HOPE everyone managed to cope with the latest bombardment from Mother Nature (i.e. the snow) on June 6. It postponed Celia Lashlie’s talk at the Top Club in Lyttelton but she has been rescheduled for Wednesday, June 20, so we can look forward to that. I have seen several pieces of artwork that have been donated for auction on the night. They are amazing and the generosity of the artists is wonderful. The weather was very kind for the Lyttelton Festival of Lights Street Party. Lyttelton Lions ran a bacon and
egg sandwich stall and were kept busy during the evening. The street party just gets bigger and better every year and we extend our congratulations to the organisers. This month marks the end of the year for office bearers in our club. Our new president for 2012/2013 will be David Evans, who can be contacted on 379-6675. Our club still has funds available for earthquake relief so if you know of anyone in the Bay Harbour area needing some form of help please contact us on 328-8523.

Our emergency services Coppers’ Corner MANY years ago when Sir Robert Peel, the modern forefather of policing, started a professional police force in London, there was considerable debate about the value of the police at the time and whether communities needed a paid police force. Clearly, Sir Robert was a man with vision as today when you look at policing world-wide most developed countries have adopted some or all of his principles - it’s at this stage I can see you are reading this and thinking where is this going - well my point is that having vision and getting the community on side is one of the keys to modern-day policing, but it is not only the police who have responsibility for this as our communities must take an interest as well. This can be in many ways, through the reporting of crime when it happens, to be more safety conscious when going away, to the simplicity of not leaving valuables in parked cars. Other areas members of the community can assist in is by belonging to crime watches. In Canterbury, we have a very strong group of crime watches who work with police; they are unpaid community members who act as the eyes and ears of both the community and local police. In Lyttelton, our local crime watch is manned by volunteers, and you may have seen the car out and about in Lyttelton and the bays. However, for the watch to be more effective we need more members; if you are a resident
of Lyttelton or the bays and you can give a little time each week, contact the chairman of the City and Sumner Crime Watch and he will be more than happy to talk to you about the Lyttelton team and what is expected. You can contact Alan on 384 5688. Prior to writing this article, I spent the previous hour walking around London Street. It was the annual light festival, and it was great to see all the stalls and people gathering for a great night. This festival seems to be getting bigger and bigger and is fantastic for Lyttelton and the bays. Events like this bring communities together, so very well done to the organisers. Finally, winter is here with a vengeance. Remember, if you are driving, make sure your windows are not fogged up. When the mornings are freezing start the car a little earlier and put the demisters on. When driving, watch your following distances; it’s far better to get where you are going safely than have a crash due to not taking a few extra minutes as it’s sure to wreck your day and that of the person you crash into.

WE need donations now so we can be there for your communities. It’s that simple. That is the message St John hopes to get out there this year. This week, it is the St John Annual Appeal and our people are out across New Zealand raising awareness of the work we do and raising funds for our services. Every day, St John ambulances respond to over 1000 calls for help across the country. That’s almost twice as many calls as we were answering 20 years ago. Even places like Lyttelton and Banks Peninsula are not immune from the growing demands. So, the support of our communities is valuable to us as without it we could not provide the level of service we do. While St John receives funding from contracts with the Ministry of Health, the Accident Compensation Corporation and district health boards, this only partially covers the direct operating costs for our ambulance service. The remaining shortfall and the cost to run
our community programmes is made up from fundraising, revenue from our commercial activities, as well as income from emergency ambulance part charges. Our challenge is that the demand is growing and the cost to provide these essential services is rising. Sometimes people forget St John is a charity and that we rely on donations to provide many of our services. For example, St John has just started a new St John Youth Division in Lyttelton (we will be profiling this in a later column). Our youth programme provides leadership and first aid skills to young people. This fantastic programme is funded by donations. Look out for St John collectors at the Lyttelton Farmers Market this Saturday. We appreciate your support, and your community will, too. Peter Dawson is chair of the St John Banks Peninsula area committee.

Smoke alarms prompt quick response Daryl Sayer A RECENT fire in Sumner highlighted the need for all households to prepare for the unexpected. Around midnight, the house’s occupants were woken by the smoke alarms in their house to find the house smoke-filled and a fire in the kitchen. They were able to quickly evacuate the house and call the fire brigade, who promptly attended and extinguished the fire, saving the family dog in the process. Fortunately in this case the smoke alarms were effective. However, in 80 per cent of fires the Fire Service attends, they are either not installed, or aren’t working. The Fire Service recommends that hardwired
St John needs donations
smoke alarms be installed. If not, the photoelectric battery operated ones are the preferred type. At a minimum, there should be one installed on each level, in the hallway nearest the bedrooms. These should be supplemented with one in each bedroom and living area as resources permit. Recent calls for Sumner Volunteer Fire Brigade: May 13 – investigate power lines arcing; May 16 – kitchen fire; May 17 – commercial alarm activation; May 25 – forestry fire; May 25 – residential alarm activation; May 26 – bonfire; June 6 – pump out flooded basement.

Stronger Christchurch
Programme funded by
Infrastructure Rebuild Team
SCIRT: Creating resilient infrastructure that gives people security and confidence in the future of Christchurch.
Safety comes first As the rebuild of our piping infrastructure expands, more of us will be affected by road works as most of our essential services are under our streets. Although we cannot avoid some disruption, we can minimise stress by allowing extra time for journeys and knowing where the traffic pinch points will be. Safety is the number one reason for temporarily closing a road – for the community and for people working on the site. Secondly, road closures help ensure that work is completed as fast and efficiently as possible. If we need to close streets to through traffic or ask residents to park cars outside a work site, SCIRT aims to let you know as early as possible. Keep an eye on your letterbox for works notices and sign up for SCIRT’s e-newsletter (see right).
Marking out the road surface before cutting a trench, St Albans
SCIRT thanks everyone who has made changes to minimise hassles while work crews are in their streets.
Keeping in touch The people of Christchurch are at the heart of SCIRT’s rebuild programme. We provide a range of different ways for you to stay informed: Online: Log on to www.strongerchristchurch.govt.nz Sign up to our regular e-newsletter Follow us on Twitter @SCIRT_info In your community: If you are visiting one of the Christchurch City Council libraries/service centres, look out for our distinctive SCIRT display boards. They contain fact sheets about the work SCIRT is doing. Translated fact sheets are available in Chinese, Korean and Samoan at these places: • Rewi Alley Cultural and Education Centre • Aranui Community Trust • Christchurch Migrants Centre

De-what?
Letterbox: Keep an eye on your letterbox for upcoming works in your street.
On many SCIRT work sites, de-watering or pumping out groundwater is needed to lower the level of water in the trench. Combined with trench shields, this protects the workers. A dry trench is essential for pipe placement and allows work to proceed efficiently. Each site discharges groundwater into a settling tank to ensure water quality complies with the resource consent conditions.
Newspapers: Watch out for our regular updates in Christchurch newspapers.

A safe home environment for kids E very day in New Zealand, an average of 22 children are admitted to the hospital because of unintentional injuries or accidents. For young children (birth to 4 years old), most of these injuries happen at home. Media stories have reported on recent home injuries with serious and fatal consequences: fires caused by kids playing with matches and lighters; poisoning due to ingestion of adult medication; children swallowing button batteries; and kids crushed by heavy appliances. Does this make the home a dangerous place? And what can you do to prevent these injuries? “Young children are injured more at home because they spend more time there. This is why keeping a safe home environment where children can grow and learn is important,” said Safekids New Zealand Director Ann Weaver. One strategy Safekids suggests is to take a small child’s point of view. “Children see their home from a very different perspective, and what’s safe for
adults may not be for small children,” Ann asks. “Get down on your elbows and knees. What do you see? Can they see a toy on an unsecured bookcase? Are there lighters, matches or button batteries lying around? And are there medicines or household chemicals they can reach?”
Below are some important tips to keep kids safe in and around the home this winter: Secure heavy furniture and appliances. If kids see colourful objects, food, drinks or toys on top of ovens, TVs, book shelves and dishwashers, they may try to climb them. Remove the object and secure furniture correctly using a safety device. Store matches and lighters in a safe place. Letting kids play with lighters and matches is like leaving them with a loaded gun. Keep lighters and matches out of sight and reach. Teach kids to bring you any matches and lighters they find. Make sure your smoke alarms are working.
Button battery dangers. It takes as little as two hours to cause severe burns once a coin-sized lithium battery has been swallowed by a child. SEARCH your home for gadgets that may contain coin lithium batteries (e.g. TV remotes, singing cards, toys). SECURE coin lithium batterycontrolled devices and keep them out of sight and reach of children. Keep loose batteries locked away.
there is no fire risk!).
Remember the SAFE rule against poisoning. STORE all medicines and chemicals out of children’s sight and reach; ASK your pharmacist for safety caps on medicines; FOLLOW the dose instructions from your doctor or pharmacist; and ENSURE you follow safety instructions on medicines, chemicals and cleaners.
Warm up safely: It’s a good idea to have For more information on keeping your your heating devices (e.g. heaters, electric child safe at home, visit the Safekids NZ blankets) checked before using them again safety topics page at: www.safekids.org.nz/ this winter season. Teach kids the “keep a index.php/page/Safety_Topics. metre from the heater” rule; if the child is very young, use a safety guard. And watch out for kids when consuming hot liquids (hot water burns like fire!). Know the fire-risk labels for children’s nightwear. Red means the garment is a high fire risk and more suitable for summer wear; orange is a warning to choose close-fitting options; white means the garment is a lower fire risk (but lower fire risk does NOT mean

Art house movies on show in Woolston THE Tannery in Woolston has added another facet to its business operation by introducing regular art house movie screenings. “There aren’t many art house movie theatres around at the moment so we figured we could take the opportunity to offer something else for our customers by setting this up,” Zak Cassels said.

The next movie to be shown, starting on July 3, is Beautiful Machine, a documentary about New Zealand music group Shihad.

Aaron's Surf Report
Winter swells worth the battle WINTER has hit with a bang over the past few weeks, but the great swells have been worth battling the cold for, with plenty of easterly and southerly swells and good offshore winds. Queen’s Birthday weekend was one to remember with a great nor’east swell from a cyclone-type system off Gisborne, while at the same time a big southerly ground swell from the Southern Ocean pushed up the country. Sumner was as good as it gets for a couple of days and Kaikoura was going off for the annual Whale Watch Kaikoura Cold Water Surf Classic. The big wave break Papatowai came to life in the Catlins with reports of 20foot waves (40-foot faces) and clean offshore winds. Despite all the snow, the water is still just hanging onto double digits, sitting at 11 degrees Celsius. This won’t last for long. The Whale Watch Kaikoura Cold Water Surf Classic has scored the best waves for at least the past 10 years of competition. Competitors scored the trifecta over Queen’s Birthday (that’s when you surf all three premier breaks in Kaikoura & Kahutara, Meatworks and Mangamanu). Kahutara was a solid five foot on day one; the big freight train right handers definitely favoured the Kaikoura surfers. The second day was again held at the ‘K’ and the free surfing at Mangamanu that day was phenomenal, with
some good barrelling sections and point to bay rides. Finals day was held at large Meatworks until a southerly buster ripped through and a move to nice three foot Mangamanu was made. Our local surfers performed well in an event dominated by Kaikoura’s best. Unlucky second: Ambrose McNeill competing at the Whale Watch Kaikoura Cold Water Surf Classic. Ambrose McNeill (Sumner) was second in the longboarding and unlucky not to win. Alethea Lock (Sumner) won the open women’s. Max Marshall (Sumner) put in another great result to place second in the cadets. Harrison Whiteside (Redcliffs) was a dual finalist, placing third in both juniors and cadets. Niwa Ututaonga (Sumner) was fourth in the cadets. Neill Robb (Sumner) couldn’t quite make it a hat trick of SI circuit wins but placed second in the Grand Masters. New Brighton’s Hayden Brain won the open men’s, ‘combo’ing’ the rest of the field and also winning the seniors along the way. The Canterbury Scholastic Surf Champs were held at the end of May. The school-age surfers took on three to five-foot storm surf at Taylors Mistake to compete for selection into the Canterbury Scholastic Surf Team. Local surfers to make the training squad include Max Marshall, Harrison Whiteside, Niwa Ututaonga, Luke O’Neill, Seb Johnson, Jack Blackman and Ruby and Rebekah Shingleton. Wintry conditions: Snow was no barrier for about a dozen surfers at Scarborough.
