No plans to rebuild units

By Bridget Rutherford REDCLIFFS residents fear social housing units on a $1 million piece of land overlooking the estuary will never be rebuilt.

The city council has begun demolishing blocks A and B of Avonheath Courts, Beachville Rd, because they suffered damage in the September 2010 and February 2011 quakes.

The C block, nearest Beachville Rd, will be repaired and strengthened, although one badly damaged unit is being demolished.

Redcliffs Residents’ Association says the units should have been repaired rather than

demolished, but the city council says it was not cost-effective to do so.

The city council-owned site has a land value of $1,060,000.

Residents’ association acting chairman Chris Doudney said it was “sad” the city council had no current plans to rebuild on the site.

Pensioner units on Raekura Tce were lost due to the risk of rockfall following the quakes, and Etheridge Court on Main Rd was being sold, he said.

“We lost a lot of pensioner housing in Redcliffs because of the earthquakes. Redcliffs would really like to see its social housing balance restored.”

Lyttelton • Super large range of wines, beers and spirits • Super new extended walk-in chiller • Super friendly helpful staff • Super chiller trailer For Hire

The city council wanted to close all the units following the quakes, but residents fought for some of them to remain open, because tenants would have nowhere to go.

Eleven of the 17 units at the complex were later vacated in 2013. Both blocks are expected to be demolished by August, while C block’s remaining seven units would be repaired to 67 per cent of the new building standard.

HAVE YOUR SAY: Do you think blocks A and B of Avonheath Courts should be demolished? Does Redcliffs need more social housing?

He said the units were on a prime site, and could have been repaired to a usable standard so they could be lived in while a permanent rebuild could be planned.

But city council head of hous-

ing Carolyn Gallagher said the repair costs were “significantly higher” than new-build costs, but would not say what they were.

“Future use of the site is yet to be determined by the council,” she said.

WE CELEBRATED those among us who have achieved something special over the long weekend. The Queen’s Birthday Honours List has been released with a Sumner sports broadcaster and chairman of Koukourarata Rūnanga, Port Levy, among them. See our coverage on page 5, 14 and 15.

Otautahi Creative Spaces Trust manager Kim Morton is also someone adding value to our community. The Lyttelton resident made the shift from training as a lawyer after the February 22, 2011 earthquake to using art as a therapy to reduce social isolation. Read about her in Our People.

Last week’s rain could be welcome news for those living near Lake Forsyth, see page 3.

MOVING MISHAPS AT ECAN OFFICE

Moving can be a pain – but at least two Environment Canterbury staff members felt it more than most when the regional council shifted into its new Tuam St offices in April.

Within the first two weeks, one person walked into the glass surround of the revolving door on the ground level, receiving a bruised temple and a headache.

A second person walked into the glass balustrade on the ground floor stairs bruising their upper arm. Both were put on light duties for two days.

ECan spokeswoman Katherine Trought said moving 406 staff into a new office building was a little like moving into a new house, “where you bump into things until you work out how to navigate your way around.”

News Lake quality improves

By Bridget Rutherford LAKE FORSYTH’S condition has improved “remarkably” with the recent rainfall after recurring toxic algal blooms flared up, killing animals.

Banks Peninsula Water Zone Committee chairman Steve Lowndes said the rainfall had had a positive impact on the lake’s water quality and condition.

“The water in the lake has improved remarkably since the rain and bad weather.

“It breaks up the algal bloom and the wind has been blowing left, right and centre.”

Last week, from Monday night to Wednesday morning the Cooptown weather station near Little River recorded about 65ml of rain.

Mr Lowndes lives next to the lake, which runs from Birdlings Flat towards Little River.

The lake’s quality came under fire in April when the algal bloom flared up after a run of dry weather.

The water was green with toxic slime, and it was reported 30 sheep had died after drinking it.

Environment Canterbury

JEEPNEY

AT ITS FINEST: Environment Canterbury expects to see Lake Forsyth’s condition improve further in the coming weeks, so its health warning can be lifted.

science water manager Tim Davie said the latest results from sampling were from May 24.

“The concentrations of nodularia (the toxic cyanobacteria) as of May 24 have declined but are still high enough to warrant a health warning,” he said.

“We expect these to decline significantly in the next two weeks given the cold weather and significant rain but at present we have advised Canterbury District Health Board of

NEW ZEALAND

the need for a continued health warning.”

Wairewa Runanga and the city council were granted a consent in March to continue using the pilot opening from the lake to the sea for 35 years.

Lake Forsyth, or Wairewa, is the only customary lake in the South Island.

Ngai Tahu has the customary title over it, meaning only iwi members can fish for eel from the lake.

In Brief ACTION ON INTERSECTION A city council committee has asked staff to make the St Andrews Hill and Bridle Path Rds intersection a priority.

The infrastructure, Transport and Environment Committee asked city council staff last week to investigate, as a priority, options to improve the usability and safety of the intersection, particularly the turning from St Andrews Hill Rd. Staff will report back to the committee in six to eight weeks. It comes after the Hagley-Ferrymead Community Board called for changes after a report criticised its lay-out and a cyclist was knocked off his bike there last month. Residents are urged to report any accidents to the city council on 941 8999.

SPEED LIMIT CHANGES The speed limit on part of Mt Pleasant Rd could be lowered from 70km/h to 50km/h as part of a review of speed limits across the city. The proposed new limit would begin 300m east of Moncks Spur Rd to 50m south of Upper Major Hornbrook Rd. The city council is proposing the changes to 31 streets across the city, including two in the central city, because

News Ohinetahi tracks open ALL OF Ohinetahi Reserve’s walking tracks are now open after being closed since the earthquakes.

The 150 ha reserve above Governors Bay is owned by the Summit Road Society.

Following the February 2011 earthquake, the tracks had to be closed until a geotechnical study had been carried out to assess the risk of rockfall.

A lot of the tracks were reopened late last year, but the remainder of the tracks are now ready for use.

A large, car-sized rock was removed from a bluff overlooking Faulkners Track, so the track could be reopened.

The reserve was bought by the society in the early 1990s from the O’Farrell estate, before being turned into a reserve.

Since then it has been managed by a team of volunteers, who built and maintained a network of tracks.

The main access to the reserve is off Ernest Adams Drive and Bay View Heights in Governors Bay. Access is also available from Summit Rd, south of the Sign of the Takahe.

Fantastic Home Show returns THERE IS less than a month to go until the doors open on the The Star Home & Leisure Show.

More than 12,000 people visited the show last year, which runs over Friday, Saturday and Sunday, July 1 to 3.

The show features the latest trends and technology for home building or renovation, as well as special deals on everything from spa pools to campervans.

You can talk directly with the experts there to get advice or tips, or take the opportunity to try new products or technology.

There will also be plenty of prizes on offer, including a $25,000 central heating system, thanks to Central Heating NZ. •The show will be held at Horncastle Arena from July 1-3 from 10am to 5pm.

For more information, visit www.starhomeshow.co.nz

S H OW HAVING A remote control home is no longer the stuff of science fiction.

If you have the technology, you can now turn your heating on while you’re on your way home, set a crock-pot to start your dinner cooking, and check up instantly on your home if a security or fire alarm goes off to see if it’s a danger or just a false alarm.

Although the technology has existed for several years, it has been expensive and complicated to install.

Startup company Morepork’s goal is to make the technology accessible to anyone.

Chief executive Gemma Croombs said its systems could be installed simply yourself, with simple plug in cameras and control panels and wireless alarms and sensors.

“People have the perception

Do you have a leaky home?

The Financial Assistance Package, which helps people with a contribution to repair leaky homes, is closing to new claims on 23 July 2016.

To give time for an assessment to be undertaken, applications should be with MBIE by 27 June 2016.

Go to building.govt.nz/FAP for more information or to apply for financial assistance.

IN YOUR HAND: Chief executive Gemma Croombs using the Morepork app, which allows you to remotely control your security system and home automation technology. ​ you can only have them if you’re building and you can put cable all through your home, but it doesn’t have to be like that anymore.”

The company, which was backed by Spark, launched in August last year, but she said the technology was already growing.

“One of the things we’re testing at the moment is a smart door bell which sets up voice call, so if someone’s there to

drop off a package you can say just drop off, don’t leave me to pick it up from the depot on my weekend. Or if you have a smart lock, you can just remotely open the door and let them in.”

As new technology was developed, she said it could be added on to the same system.

She plans to be at The Star Home & Leisure Show with her team, with several systems set up for people to play with there, and special deals on offer.

Queen honours locals

In Brief BUS FARE HIKE DROPPED Bus fares, including Diamond Harbour Ferry, will only increase by 2.5 per cent, rather than the originally proposed 10 per cent. Environment Canterbury announced last week that it had taken on board the communities’ feedback about the proposed 10 per cent rise in its draft annual plan. Detail on the timing and exact fares for bus users will be released before the fare rises come into effect in July.

HISTORY: Charles Crofts was a negotiator for Ngai Tahu in the deed of settlement. He is pictured here sharing a hongi with minister in charge of Treaty of Waitangi negotiations Doug Graham, after the settlement was signed. ​ A SUMNER sports broadcaster and a man who led Ngai Tahu through the critical stages of the deed of settlement have both been recognised in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list.

Lesley Murdoch and Charles Crofts were both made officers of the New Zealand Order of Merit on Monday. They were among 13 Cantabrians to be named.

Mrs Murdoch was recognised for services to sport.

She has been a sports broadcaster for more than three decades, after representing New

Zealand in hockey and cricket.

She is a netball and hockey commentator and hosts a weekly Saturday morning sports talk-back show for Newstalk ZB. Mrs Murdoch served on the Board of New Zealand Cricket, a term on the Board of New Zealand Hockey, and is currently on the Netball New Zealand Board, with a focus on sport in Canterbury post-quake.

She was also a member of the committee which undertook a sweeping review of New Zealand Cricket in 1995.

Mr Crofts was recognised for

services to Maori.

He is currently chairman of Koukourarata Rūnanga, Port Levy, and director of Koukourarata Development Company.

Mr Crofts led Ngai Tahu through the critical stages of the Ngai Tahu Deed of Settlement between 1993 and 1996.

He was mandated by Te Runanga o Ngai Tahu to manage the negotiations process, and personally charged with maintaining tribal cohesion.

The Ngāi Tahu Settlement Act was signed in 1998.

INTERSECTION FEEDBACK Diamond Harbour residents have until June 16 to have their say on plans to make safety improvements to the Marine Drive and Ranui Crescent east intersection. The city council wants to install a no right turning sign from Marine Drive onto Ranui Crescent. A right turn onto Ranui Crescent will be maintained via the Marine Drive, Ranui Crescent west intersection. It comes after residents were concerned about the lack of visibility at the intersection. Submissions can be made on the city council website.

REDCLIFFS DECISION DUE Education Minister Hekia Parata is expected to make her final decision on whether to close Redcliffs School this month. Rep-

resentatives from the school met with Minister Parata in Christchurch last month to go over the key points and messages in the school’s submission. Minster Parata told the representatives she would deliver a decision in June.

ENERGY HELP EXTENDED A community project has just reached its three-year target of improving 250 homes, six months ahead of schedule. The Repair Well project, funded by New Zealand Red Cross and implemented by Community Energy Action Charitable Trust installs extra energy efficiency measures during earthquake repairs for vulnerable homeowners. As CEA has completed the project ahead of time and under budget, the organisation is able to help households needing earthquake repairs until December.

Your Local Views Latest Budget missed the big issues Port Hills Labour MP Ruth Dyson says the Government’s Budget is disappointing Every year the Government presents a Budget – the allocation of funding to all Government department and agencies.

This signals the priorities that the Government thinks need addressing over the coming years.

It shows the surplus or deficit the Government is running and gives economic forecasts.

There is always a clamber prior to the Budget, with different groups calling for different priorities – one of the many advantages of living in a democracy with freedom of the press. And we know that not all those calls can be met.

But even with that caveat, I think this Budget has been a big disappointment. There are some burning issues that need a bucket of water, and they barely rated a trickle.

There is no commitment to fix the housing crisis. Selling our state houses to community providers does not increase the

social housing available, and that increase is desperately needed.

Canterbury health funding continues to fall behind the level of funding other parts of the country get – and undoubtedly we have an increased need with post-quake stress issues still evident.

All schools have had their operational grant funding level frozen. This is deeply distressing; particularly for those schools which had their decile level increased in the recent review and have lost thousands of dollars because of this already. With a frozen fund, they will just fall behind every year and I know that there is no spare money in those budgets currently.

The Budget was a bit of a hotch potch of policies which didn’t really give any indication of a plan to make New Zealand fairer or stronger. The National Government failed to invest so that the opportunities to buy a house, get a job and build a future would be available to everyone.

That’s the sort of society New Zealand has always prided itself on being and with the right investment in the Budget, it’s the sort of society New Zealand can become once again.

The city council is asking people to submit their ideas on what Sumner’s new community centre, library and museum should be called. Bay Harbour News asked its readers what they would like the facility to be called: Beth Redmond: A few suggestions for the community centre name are below.

• Eke Ngaru: Sumner Community Centre (a surfing community) • Te Mana Whenua: Sumner Community Centre (translated ‘The Landing’, based on Sumner being one of the first Christchurch settlements) • Wharariki: Sumner Community Centre (to reflect the coastal location) • Harakoa: Sumner Community Centre (a place of happiness, joy, high spirits) • Tatahi: Sumner Community Centre (seaside community, a place where everyone can enjoy the beach and all it has to offer) • Hapori: Sumner Community Centre (a sense of community) • Hui hui: Sumner Community Centre (a place to congregate, meet) • Tahuaroa (Ocean, a community formed around the ocean) Sheryn Macdonald: ‘Seacliffe’ Centre.

Bay Harbour News asked its readers what changes they would like made to the St Andrews Hill and Bridle Path Rds intersection: Kathy Kerr: I live in Sumner and work in Lyttelton. On several occasions I have been cut off by drivers coming down fast off St Andrews Hill and failing to give way at the sign. I have been turning left into Bridle Path Rd on a green light at the time. At the very least, I would like to see a ‘Stop’ sign on St Andrews Hill Rd instead of the ‘Give Way sign’ which is there at the moment. Lights would be better.

A. Edwards: This corner is a disaster and it is only a matter of time before there is a really serious accident and/or fatality. This intersection design can only have been completed by people who sit in a room without windows and never go outside. Yes, lights at the foot of St Andrews Hill

would assist. But as well they need to lose the triangular island shown at the right of your photo. If it is actually necessary to have traffic lights there they should be suspended from overhead cables. The traffic light poles on this island are a hazard in themselves. Removing the island would allow another lane to be formed for the traffic flowing along Bridle Path Rd, i.e travelling towards the estuary. So that would provide two left turning lanes for both traffic flows, i.e Bridle Path and St Andrews Hill Rds, which should allow each phase to clear without backing up.

Michael Chapman: Traffic signals at the base of St Andrews Hill Rd would be a big improvement, but only if there is proper synchronisation with the lights at Ferry Rd and Bridle Path Rd. That synchronisation needs to ensure that traffic will flow in a smooth and coherent manner through the light, and that blockages will not occur.

Your Local Views asked the bus driver to radio the ferry to advise there are bus passengers coming. The bus drivers radio, with no response from the ferry. On both occasions when asked, the ferry skippers had not heard the bus driver’s call. As the ferry skippers cannot now see the bus letting off passengers, I rely on the co-ordination between the bus and the ferry in order to catch the ferry the bus is timed to meet. Equally when the ferry skipper tries to radio the bus, I find that the bus driver has not heard the call.

Readers respond to Richard Suggate’s Soap Box column about the Diamond Harbour Ferry: Erica Henderson: Re: your request for feedback on whether the Diamond Harbour Ferry links well with the bus timetable.

I regularly use the ferry to travel to and from work. It works fine in the mornings, but the return journey home is a bit hit and miss. I have regularly had to sprint to the ferry and on a couple of occasions have missed it completely – sometimes its an hour until the next one.

I always ask the driver to radio through to the ferry, some do and some don’t. Having said that, on one occasion recently, the bus driver radioed through several times but the ferry pilot didn’t respond. On that occasion it was the passengers on the ferry that alerted the pilot that there were passengers sprinting from the bus.

I feel the problem has several angles: • Traffic in the evenings means the buses are always running up to 10min late when leaving the exchange. Sometimes they make the time up, but not always.

• The ferry and the bus services see themselves as two separate services, rather than one service being offered by two companies.

Therefore neither company takes

Governors Bay residents are calling for a lower speed limit and more signage to try and help curb boy racer problems in the area. responsibility for providing a seamless service for its Diamond Harbour commuters. It would be a simple matter for both ferry pilot and bus driver to always call ahead to check if there are passengers for the ferry.

• The time the journey takes – if I took my car to work I could be there and at my desk in 45min. With the bus, it is over an hour when I include the time to drive to the ferry from Charteris Bay. Added to that the lack of flexibility to do things after work and the unreliability of the ferry connection. If there was an express bus during peak periods, it would make the commute much

more attractive.

• Bus route out of the tunnel – if the bus went straight to the ferry then dropped off Lyttelton passengers, rather than doing the Lyttelton circuit first, it would save several minutes – vital when trying to make those connections.

Just a few thoughts to ponder – I really enjoy taking the ferry and would really love a solution to this ongoing problem. It doesn’t seem that hard Jane Wade: As a commuter a few months post-knee surgery (and so less mobile than most of the commut-

ers) using the Diamond Harbour Ferry/Metro Bus service to travel to work most weekdays I have the following observations: the disability-friendly route between ferry and bus is longer than the route taken by able-bodied travellers as a consequence when walking from the ferry to the bus stop, I am well behind the other commuters walking to the bus stop, even though I am walking my fastest.

This is stressful as there is the potential for me to miss my connecting bus. Returning from town on the bus to catch the ferry on two recent occasions when the bus has been running late I have

Roseanna Smith: My husband and I live in Cass Bay and we are frequently woken at all hours of the night by loud car noise from boy racers. They are going at a tremendous speed around the corners.

We fear that one day they will go over the hill. Not only could they kill or injure themselves, but they could injury others with cars smashing into houses. I seriously doubt whether lower speed limits or more signage will have any deterrent effect on these people.

They have no regard for speed limits whatsoever. What is needed is speed cameras and increased police presence.

Postal and banking services now offered in Ferrymead

PostShop manager Carrie, left, and her assistants Kim and Sharmaine

Take Note Ferrymead have a full range of NZ Post services, plus books, stationery, cards and so much more.

R

esidents from Woolston through to Sumner now have the benefit of local NZ Post and Kiwibank services seven days a week, thanks to Take Note in Ferrymead.

The popular book and stationery store has taken on the franchise for the postal and banking services, with the new franchise operation, Take Note Ferrymead PostShop and Kiwibank, open for business as of May 19.

“Being open seven days a week means we’ll be available when people need us,” says PostShop manager Carrie.

“By opening at the weekend we’re catering to working people who can’t get to the bank or Post Office during the week.”

Carrie brings 11 years’ experience managing PostShops to her new Ferrymead role, while her two assistants, Kim and Sharmaine, are also experienced PostShop staff.

Take Note owners Barry and Kerry moved their business from neighbouring premises into the former Video Ezy site several months ago in preparation for setting up the NZ Post and Kiwibank franchise, as they were keen to provide an even wider range of services for their

PAGE 11

customers.

PostShop facilities include bill paying for telco companies, power companies and The Press, vehicle registration and diesel miles. Kiwibank customers can set up bank accounts, automatic bill payments and deposit and withdraw cash, while those wanting to enquire about obtaining a Kiwibank mortgage can have an appointment arranged with a mobile mortgage manager at a time to suit.

Since establishing Take Note Ferrymead (formerly Paper Plus Ferrymead) 14 years ago, Barry and Kerry have built up a strong and loyal

customer base from across the Bay Harbour News readership area by offering friendly service and an extensive selection of books, magazines, stationery, toys, gifts, greeting cards and wrapping paper.

The wide range of book titles includes travel books, recipe books, novels and children’s books. Home and office stationery supplies include everything from printing paper and ink cartridges to notepads and exercise books, filing systems and paper clips.

Customers can browse through an attractive range of gift items, including locally manufactured items, or alternatively there are gift cards and Prezzy Cards in a range of values.

Ferrymead is one of the city’s fastest-growing retail and business areas, and Take Note Ferrymead PostShop and Kiwibank is ideally located among a mix of other business outlets including hardware, supermarket, cafes and professional services.

There is extensive off-street parking available at the front and rear of the store and a bus stop close by on Ferry Road.

Opening hours are Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 5.30pm, Saturday 9am to 5.30pm and Sunday 10am to 5pm.

Kim Morton Our People Lawyer’s new ambition: to help the Otautahi Creative Spaces Trust manager Kim Morton talks to Fraser Walker-Pearce about reducing social isolation through art, training as a lawyer and her favourite place in the city Kim, tell me a bit about what you do for the Otautahi Creative Spaces Trust.

I guess I lead the programme and we run art programmes. At the moment we run at Phillipstown and Aranui Libraries but we are looking to expand across the city into other community hubs. Our mission is using art to boost people’s wellbeing. We’re especially looking to work with people that have experienced mental illness, earthquake trauma and social isolation. We provide opportunities for people to connect with their community as well.

How long has it been running?

It’s been going for just over a year now, but we had a low profile for our first six months. But since the start of the year we’ve

had quite a surge of interest in our programmes. We’re very excited because it means we need to expand them now, and we’re looking for support to do that.

Where is the programme based?

The base is Phillipstown Community Hub, in the old Phillipstown School, which closed at the end of 2014. We’re here along with a whole lot of other fantastic

community initiatives. Aranui also presents a great opportunity because the team there is really passionate about serving their community. We know libraries are the living room of communities and people go there because they feel welcome and it’s a free space.

And the feedback you’ve received has been positive?

The feedback has been fantastic.

What people love is that it’s par-

ticipant driven, so artists choose the art forms they’re interested in, and they do that. The environment they’re in is without any pressure to produce, just heaps of encouragement. People have said it’s a really inspiring environment to be in. It’s not a structured class as such, anyone could be working on anything – like sculptures, printmaking, and calligraphy.

Sometimes the participants will

need encouragement and suggestions, but most people settle in to what they want to be doing.

If someone’s stuck we help them though.

Has the programme been successful for the artists?

Some people have come in and worked in this space, and they’ve had work feature in national exhibitions. We’ve had three people gain scholarships through The Learning Connexion but also people are feeling like they have a sense of belonging to something creative and belonging to a new community. They’ve said they’ve made friends. And from that they’re more engaged in their community.

Has this project been set up by the city council, or independently?

It’s an independent community charitable trust. We have had great support from Creative New Zealand, the city council and the Rata Foundation. Not only that but we are finding that we are being given a lot of support in terms of art materials, which is a fabulous endorsement for the trust.

How full are your classes?

community through teaching art community hub could be set up in the closed Central New Brighton School, and we’re hoping we might be able to share a space in that facility.

So how did this all come about?

About 20 years ago I managed a community art space in Masterton and I’d been aware of the gap in Christchurch for some time, but it was only after the earthquakes that it kind of galvanised my energy and so I decided to kick-start something here. There’s a network of spaces like this around the country, so I had good relationships with the people involved there and then we did some research which was funded by Creative New Zealand, and it looked at the need and how something should be set up here.

It’s not something you can just transplant from one city to the other, Masterton is a small town.

In post-earthquake Christchurch, opportunities to connect with others creatively in your local community seemed more important.

How long have you been in Christchurch then?

I’ve been here for 15 years, and was in Masterton before, for about three years, but I was born in Auckland. I’ve lived in lots of different places, but Christchurch

is home now.

Oh good to hear. Where are your favourite spots?

My favourite in Christchurch is Taylors Mistake. But in New Zealand, it’d be the Cavalli Islands in Northland.

Do you have any family down here?

I have two boys, who are 17 and 13. They keep me on my toes.

They’re both at Hagley Community College, and they’re enjoying that. I’m not sure what they want to do, but as long as they do what they’re passionate about, I’m good with that.

And where in the city are you guys based?

We’re in Lyttelton. The kids love it because of the hills and the sea, and the great landscape.

That’s a bit of a trek to work each day?

Yes that’s a point, I don’t live in the communities I’m working in. That means that it’s even more important to have a strong relationship with the community.

We’ve designed some projects that are around the identity and stories of Phillipstown – photography and poetry projects that combine with Ara Institute of Canterbury, and local residents, and what Phillipstown means for them. That’s only just started.

Where did you go to

DISCUSSIONS: Kim Morton and Creative New Zealand’s Chris Archer discuss the future of the Otautahi Creative Spaces Trust.

school then?

I went to school in Auckland, to Westlake Girls High School. It was just the one up the road from where we lived at the time.

Did you ever have a mentor, or a big influence that taught you art?

Some people do have an outstanding person in their life, but this is hard for me. I guess mine was Sue McBride, who was an outstanding art teacher. I really

enjoyed art at school because of her, so that probably did sow the seed.

What did you do after that?

I’ve had quite a few different aspects of my work. One is in law, I trained for law, and didn’t know if I’d take it further after I studied it. I specialised in social justice and community law. And in a way there’s quite a connection between those studies and what I do now.

And did you use the degree?

Did you have any law jobs?

Yes, I did. I guess it must have been 20 years on and off using it. The earthquakes made me question what I was doing, and I decided to put my energy into creativity and wellbeing projects.

Life’s short, if I can make a difference, then I should. And for me it was around this idea of art and creativity in Christchurch that was the best way I could do that.

Have you looked at your underfloor repairs?

We are seeing worse examples than this done by EQC and insurers.

Star Media chairman honoured managing director Murray Wood.

But when Mr Wood was killed in the collapse of the building in the February 2011 earthquake, Mr Smith said he was suddenly thrust into management of the station.

He remembered the first meeting the day after the earthquake, sitting in a dark room without power talking about the future with his distraught staff.

“It would have made more sense to take the insurance money and close the station, but to me that would mean we let the staff and the victims’ families down. That to me was the deciding factor.”

He has also played a key role in sport over the years, helping to develop Hagley Park, form the University Oval Redevelopment Trust and raise $2 million to establish the first cricket ground in Dunedin.

He has also sponsored and donated to many community groups and organisations working in the South Island.

“My philosophy has always been what’s good for the province is what’s good for the business, and what’s good for the company is good for the province.”

ByGabrielleStuart STAR MEDIA chairman Nick Smith has been recognised in the Queen’s Birthday Honours for more than 50 years work in media and sport.

He was named an officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit on Monday.

Star Media is the publisher of the Bay Harbour News, several community newspapers in Christchurch, The Star and magazines. The company also broadcasts CTV. Mr Smith started work at the Christchurch Star in 1965, as an advertising cadet.

“It was the heyday of newspapers.

You weren’t competing for eyeballs.

I spent two and a half years there, and it was fantastic. I still have a lot of friends from those days, we had a lot of fun together. We used to have boxing tournaments in the lunchroom,” he said.

He went on to become a director of Allied Press, publisher of the Otago Daily Times, and chairman of CTV. Although he was a major shareholder, he said he stayed in the background at CTV for several years, leaving the running of the company to

MAKING A DIFFERENCE: Redcliffs School’s four senior leaders Claudia Peck, Tom Barker, Zack Waite and Emilia Crooks, delivered boxes of food to Christchurch City Mission recently to go to less fortunate families as it goes into winter. The pupils meet regularly to discuss ways they can lead in school, but also make a difference in the community. They will also hold a sausage sizzle for Ronald McDonald House, and the school choir are going to sing to the residents at Edith Cavell at Sumner. ​

SCHOOLS

Busy term for Redcliffs pupils

FOCUS: Junior pupils Noah Drumm, Billie FeaverBanks, Charlie Davis and Luke Cleugh get into their sustainability inquiry quiz.

GENEROUS: Ferrymead Rotary donated dictionaries to Bromley School pupils recently to help them with their English. Room 10 pupil Grace said the dictionaries were “so cool”. “They are so easy to use at home – I love it.” Each Room 10 pupil got their own dictionary to take home with them. Heather Fear, of Ferrymead Rotary, said the club was thrilled the children were enjoying the dictionaries. “It is evident that the children really enjoy these books – maybe they are the only books they have at home.” Ferrymead Rotary has given dictionaries to several schools in the area.

The cost of the dictionaries is subsidised by the Bill and Lorna Boyd Charitable Trust and the Lois Dalley Trust. ​

Redcliffs School pupils have had a busy term so far, with Year 6 camp, the beginning of Hagley winter sport, south east zones cross country, and an inquiry quiz about sustainability.

THEY’RE OFF: Pupils take off in the south east zones cross country, where Redcliffs pupils Charlie Bailey and Sam Clark won the year 6 and year 8 boys races.

Winter running ByFraserWalker-Pearce EVEN AS the days get colder and darker, the Sumner Running Club is still getting out into the wintry conditions to get involved in races.

Recently the club took part in both a road race event, held at the A&P Showgrounds, and a cross-country race, at Halswell Quarry.

Young runners from Sumner represented their high schools in the competitions, with varying results.

Sumner had eight runners partake in the events, with members running for Christchurch Girls’ High School, St Margaret’s College, Christ’s College, Burnside High School and Marian College.

The best performer over the two days was Lili Ovendale, who ran for Christchurch Girls’ in the under 14 girls section, and was second in the road race and fourth in the cross-country.

Her school took out both teams titles.

Sumner Running Club junior co-ordinator Ann Wells said the two races couldn’t have been run in more than contrasting conditions.

“The road race had a warm wind and was a mild 15 deg C, compared to the cross-country with 8 deg C and worsening

DETERMINED: Abby Theobald took sixth spot in the under 15 race. While Beth Hunter finished 10th in the under 14 race for Rangi Ruru Girls’ School.

rain conditions, the latter providing true cross-country running conditions,” she said.

Abby Theobald ran for St Margaret’s in the under 15 race, and finished sixth in both races.

Christ’s College’s John Wells ran in the under 14 races and

finished ninth and 10th respectively. His school finished third in both teams races.

Max McLachlan, of Burnside High School, returned from a broken collarbone to produce a good performance, finishing ninth in the road race, and sixth

in the cross country.

In the senior girls, Marian College sisters, Jess and Meg Fahey, had to contend with torrential rain which made for slippery conditions underfoot.

They finished sixth and 13th, respectively.

AKAROA TO DUNEDIN Akaroa Area School pupils have been selected to compete at the New Zealand Area Schools sports tournament in July. Nine pupils will represent the Top of the South Island area school’s team, which will travel to Dunedin to compete. Moses Bygate Smith for basketball and volleyball, Josh Little for rugby, Robin Enosi for rugby, Tommi Hopkins for rugby and football, Sean Hopkins for football and ki-o-rahi, Hannah Kiely and Faith McLauchlanRobinson for netball, and Sapphire Jordan and Drew Wilson for ki-o-rahi. The AkaroaWairewa Community Board will decide today whether to grant the school $1000 to go towards the cost of competing at the event in Dunedin.

BAYS TEAMS LOSSES Rugby and football scorelines were not pleasant for those supporting the bay area teams on the weekend. Sumner’s premier rugby side lost to Christchurch 25-6 at Christchurch Park. Nik Cumming scored the only points for Sumner from the boot. Ferrymead Bays’ top side also lost away to Nelson Suburbs at Saxton Fields 4-2. Bays have now played 12 games and have secured just 13 points. A consolation for the bay area was Banks Peninsula’s premier rugby side, who overcame Rolleston 24-22 at Little River.

Tries went to Jared Buckley, two for Tom Power and one for Jack Sanders.

HEALTH & BEAUTY

Get educated, get empowered and

get motivated It’s all too easy to hibernate winter away, enjoying comfort food as you avoid the bad weather and think that you’ll start a diet to get ready for summer sometime soon.

However the team at The apothecary at The tannery believe nothing should get in the way of educating ourselves to a healthy lifestyle and achieving the right weight for us.

Their six week course – Weight loss 101 – runs for an hour every Wednesday evening starting on 20th July. Its aim is to teach the science that lies behind managing weight so that we can make choices about what we eat that are informed, rather than relying on sound bites and gossip about the latest trendy diet. They cover topics such as what macro and micro nutrients are and the benefits and drawbacks of each; the importance of regulating blood sugar and how it actually affects your body; how the body works, and how it is affected by what we eat. The course is highly motivational and run in a supportive group environment which helps keep those attending on their toes, and the facilitators are highly trained professionals who know how to make this topic interesting and relevant to you and

your lifestyle.

The Internet is full of tips and short cuts on the latest ways to lose weight, but Weight loss 101 gives you the knowledge to be able to separate the fads that are founded in fact from those that are no more than a gimmick.

You will learn how to manage your weight effectively so that once it’s been lost, it stays lost. It is not about going on a diet - it’s about learning what a healthy diet is and the difference it can make to you, your energy and your whole attitude to life. Because they know that the course is packed full of useful information, a course booklet is provided

which contains everything you need to know. Costing only $240 (working out at only $40 per seminar), it’s a perfect way to leave yo-yo diets behind and embrace good health. You will receive a free sugar Destroyer worth $25) a formula used for thousands of years to support healthy blood sugar levels), and if you book before June 30th you will get the early bird discount which is $220 per person.

Weight loss 101 is just one of an ongoing series of seminars run by the team of qualified herbalists and naturopaths at The apothecary. They draw on their knowledge and years of experience to help their patients with a range of ailments, and believe that with the right education, many common problems can be avoided.

NOTIFICATION OF LIFTING OF RESTRICTED FIRE SEASON (IMPOSED PURSUANT TO SECTION 22(2) OF THE FOREST AND RURAL FIRES ACT 1977) CHRISTCHURCH CITY RURAL FIRE AREA INCLUDING BANKS PENINSULA Notice is hereby given that the restricted fire season currently imposed by the Christchurch City Council over the rural fire area for which the Council is the Fire Authority is lifted from midnight Saturday 4 June 2016, to be replaced by an OPEN FIRE SEASON. Fires may now be lit in the open air in rural areas without permit. Restrictions may be reimposed at a later date if weather conditions create a potentially dangerous fire situation.

All residents are requested to take care when lighting open fires. Before lighting fires in the open air, careful consideration must be given to weather conditions, adequacy of fire breaks, availability of water, and the patrolling of fires until completely out.

Fires are not to be left burning after dark.

NOTE: Resource Consent conditions imposed by Environment Canterbury may still apply.

Property owners within the Department of Conservation Fire Safety Margin require a permit all year round. Relevant authorities should be contacted prior to any burning.
