Redcliffs residents are shocked to hear one of their only community facilities could be demolished rather than re-paired.

The city council is considering de-molishing the earthquake-damaged Redcliffs Community Pavilion, adja-cent to Redcliffs Park, and landscap-ing the space.

It says there had been few expres-sions of interest to use the building after it had been repaired, and it would be more cost-effective to demolish it.

City council staff informally briefed the Hagley-Ferrymead Community Board on the option at its last meeting.

The Redcliffs Residents Association has been working with the city council to have the building repaired for com-munity use.

Residents association acting chair-man Chris Doudney said it was a shock to hear about the briefing.

“We’re not really happy with that because we were not informed.”

There is about $110,000 on budget to repair the building, and the residents association was getting quotes from companies for the work.

He said there were about seven groups interested in using the facility.

A city council spokeswoman said a report of the repair options would go to the community board in February.

Community board member Joe Da-vies said he had concerns with the op-tion, and he knew of people wanting to use the building.

Bishopdale man Bill Whitehead can remember rugby league results back to the 1930s.

But he cannot for the life of him recall who he gave his Queens Service Medal and New Zealand Defence Service Medal too.

Mr Whitehead had a friend over around 12 months ago for a coffee.

His friend noticed the med-als sitting on the top on his cabinet and remarked: “I know a place that could connect those together, it would look really good”.

Mr Whitehead said he let the guy take them away to be put together and did not give it another thought.

Four months went by before he thought “who did I give those medals to and when were they coming back?”

“It might have been an old Eastern Suburbs Rugby League member,” he said.

Mr Whitehead phoned the Papanui RSA and asked who puts medals together.

“They put me onto someone but he doesn’t have them,” he said.

Hitting a wall Mr Whitehead has turned to the Nor’West News and would like anyone who knows anything about who could have taken the medals to

come forward and help him out.“It has annoyed me because

I want to hand them on to the grand-kids,” he said.

Two large gum trees in the mid-dle of a busy Linwood road will not be cut down in spite of com-plaints from nearby property owners.

Aldwins Rd property owner Marilyn Wilson told the Hagley-Ferrymead Community Board at its last meeting the trees were too large for the median strip they were planted on.

She said they had began crack-ing the kerb, and they shaded her rental property.

She first complained to the city council about the trees near the intersection with Harrow St, in April last year.

The city council spent about $1000 on carrying out public con-sultation with 35 nearby proper-ties and six of the 11 respondents were in favour of the removal.

City council parks acting unit manager Jeremy Hawker said the trees had caused minor cracking to the kerbing and lifting of the road.

“We will continue to monitor the situation, however, the cur-rent level of damage is not at a point where we need to remove the trees.”

He said it would cost $4225.50 to remove them.

Councillor Paul Lonsdale said removing healthy trees could set a precedent for other trees in the ward.

“It could cause a raft of issues right across our ward.”

The board declined the appli-cation to remove the trees, but asked that when further road works were due to happen on Al-dwins Rd it would be informed so it could be re-looked at.

Gum trees to stay

SHADING: Two gum trees in the median strip of Aldwins Rd will not be removed.

It’s what Sumner residents have been waiting for – the de-signs for the new library, com-munity facility and museum have been released.

The plans draw inspiration from the Sumner landscape with natural timber, seaside colours and features from the former community centre.

It will be built on the corner of Wakefield Ave and Nayland St.

Redcliffs Historical Society has also announced it will contribute $50,000 to the new facility.

It comes after the contents of a time capsule found dur-ing the demolition of the old centre was opened this week, with a newspaper, old coins and other trinkets in it.

A decision is yet to be made where to store them.

Sumner Redcliffs Historical Society president Andrew McGill said the organisation is delighted to be able to contribute to the new facility.

The funding will go to-wards the construction of the museum.

The facility will incorporate

a library, community centre and museum.

The library, community of-fice, display area and library courtyard will be situated on the ground floor with the rest of the community functions, hall, kitchen and museum space on the first floor.

The final phase of the design process, called detailed design, will begin in January and will be completed in April 2016.

Construction of the new facility is due to begin in mid-2016 and it is expected to open in 2017.

CAR SET ALIGHTFirefighters from Woolston and

Harewood were called out to a suspicious car fire on Ferry Rd last Monday. The call-out came at about 4.30am. Fire communica-tions shift manager Brent Dunn said the car was well ablaze when fire crews arrived. He said it was up a driveway of a residential house and was a “potential risk to the structure”. The fire was referred on to police.

$85K FOR CHILDREN’S CENTRECholmondeley Children’s

Centre in Governors Bay has re-ceived $85,000 of proceeds from Sculpture on the Peninsula. This year’s event saw record crowds visit Loudon Farm from Novem-ber 6-8, to see the contemporary sculptures, with the proceeds going to the centre. Cholmondeley provides short-term respite care to children whose families are experiencing stress or crisis.

PROJECT LYTTELTON FUNDINGProject Lyttelton has been given

funding to go towards lifeguard First Aid training. Some Time Bank members will be trained as lifeguards by the city council to allow Lyttelton’s Norman Kirk Memorial Pool to open for longer this summer. The Lyttelton-Mt Herbert Community Board decid-ed to grant $673 towards the cause at its last meeting. The board also granted Project Lyttelton $1000 to refit the basement of 54A Oxford

St, as the new home of the weekly garage sale.

TREE REMOVAL DECLINEDThe Hagley-Ferrymead Com-

munity Board has decided it will not remove a eucalyptus park tree from Birdsey Reserve in Heathcote Valley. Bridle Path Rd residents asked the city council whether the tree could be removed as it shades and drops leaves on their property. Board members did not want a healthy tree removed and voted to decline the request.

$220K RAISED FOR POOLNearly $220,000 has been raised

for the Heathcote Valley School pool repair in four months. The community and school has to raise about $300,000 to repair the pool and develop the surrounding area after it was significantly damaged in the February 2011 earthquake. The $220,000 will cover the cost of repairing the pool, and the remainder of the money will be spend on the surrounding area.

GRANT FOR SWIM PROJECTThe Lyttelton-Mt Herbert Com-

munity Board will grant Surf Life Saving New Zealand $829.36 to go towards the Lyttelton Swim Advi-sory Area Project. It had originally been recommended to grant $2000, but the project did not need that much. The project will provide a safe swim zone, between Naval Point around to the western end of Cass Bay, identified by buoys.

Katie Nimmo, Opawaho Heathcote River Network deputy chairwoman

The Avon River hit front page news recently, with community leaders call-ing for investment to be more evenly distributed along the whole of the river, instead of focusing on the Avon River Precinct in the central city.

They also argued that ad-dressing water quality issues would not be successful unless community groups and indi-viduals also take responsibility for the river.

Both of these messages are deeply relevant to the Opawa-ho-Heathcote River.

However, it is gener-ally poorly understood by the public that the Opawaho-Heathcote River has not had any investment comparable to that of the Avon River, even though it receives water from a land area almost identical in size to that of the Avon.

It is also unrecognised that the Opawaho-Heathcote River has similar potential to that of the Avon to significantly enhance the character and live-ability of the south and east of Christchurch.

City living needs balancing with immersive natural areas to maintain physical, mental and spiritual well-being. A shared pathway for cyclists and pedestrians located along the river would be the back-bone of such an experience, linking a range of key assets including the Christchurch Bike and Adventure park, The Tannery, Woolston Village, Ferrymead Heritage Park and Heathcote Valley. And if safe access along the river is im-proved, more people will start to enjoy, and care for the river.

Improved recreational op-

portunities are only part of a complex mix of activities which will be required to restore the vitality of the Opawaho-Heathcote River. Other equally important values such as ecological health and water quality require sound levels of investment over a long period of time along the whole river. Any investment in the Opawaho-Heathcote River will be most successful if it is grounded in, and informed by a genuine partnership with communities located within the catchment.

Both the Opawaho-Heath-cote and Avon rivers have the potential to transform Christchurch into a boutique eco-city. I don’t think either river should ‘compete’ with each other for funding at the expense of the other. The real question is … do the people of Christchurch care enough to invest in equal measures in both?

Readers respond to city councillor David East’s concept to build a fishing deck to solve tensions on New Brighton Pier.

G Heyward: To do this you are just encouraging more fisher-men.

The tourists and people of New Zealand that go there are still having to look through all the rods sticking up from the deck below. We are still going to have the stink. We are still having to look down and watch the people breaking the arms off crabs while they are still alive.

If you think so much of the fishermen, why not build them their own pier?

The pier needs to be like they are overseas, it needs entertain-ment. Something that will draw people.

To do what you put in last week’s Pegasus Post would be like everything else they’ve tried in New Brighton. A complete flop.

J Donaldson: I have been say-ing this for years . . .

We lived in East Sussex, in Eastbourne, where on the pier they have a fishing deck. If you want to fish you must pay two pounds to become a member, and there is a wee hut where one of the members takes the money. The deck is locked from dusk to dawn and all members take turns in manning the hut. In the hut they have photos of large or strange catches. Happy New Year.

J James: I think this is an interesting idea and it should separate the fishermen from the walking public, and the design looks good.

However, one of the main joys of using the pier is to stand at the end, lean on the rail, and to look down at the sea below. With the fishing deck there, you would be looking down onto the fishermen and all their parapher-nalia – rods, baits and fish guts left stinking on the deck, crab pots, etc. This would greatly spoil the view and the experi-ence. My vote is a big no.

T Sennitt: It is a good idea

to build the fishing deck, but I think they should pay a fee to use it. I do not see why ratepay-ers should foot a bill when its need is caused by the bad behav-iour of fishermen over the years.

B Suter: I think that David’s plan to improve the New Brigh-ton Pier is fantastic.

J Manser: I’m not normally one to make comment on proj-ects of this type and although I enjoy a walk along the pier occasionally, I have not fished from it.

I would however, like to make comment on the proposed fish-ing deck.

I don’t know why it was not added to the pier when it was first built. It is an obvious solu-tion to what has been an ongoing difficult issue.

I would like to suggest that the height of the platform be consid-ered carefully. I appreciate that it needs to be kept above any possible wave height in a storm but the lower it can be made the easier it would be to pull in fish without losing them off the line.

More importantly when a rod is cast it would not be good to have hooks and sinkers in the face of the people on the top platform.

I look forward to hearing more about the project as it takes shape.

G Cairney: I salute the people working to find a solution to the conflict of interests of those fish-ing and those wishing to walk on the pier without the clutter of equipment and offensive smells from the fishing activities.

My hope, when the articles

first appeared in the paper, was that the proposed solution would remove the fishing activities completely from the view of the people on the deck above. This design does not do that.

I like to be able to lean over the rail and look directly below to see through the water to the sand/surface below the water, as well as gazing out to the hori-zon.

I experienced a close encoun-ter with a fishing line and sinker while on the pier on a visit in the winter and was quite alarmed as the signs restricting fishing to a particular area were being ignored.

I would welcome a solution that would completely prevent that happening at any time.

Thank you for the opportunity to comment.

In the last edition of Bay Harbour News, readers were asked if they thought Lyttelton-Mt Herbert Community Board member Adrian Te Patu should step down from his role on the board.

A Stewart: I don’t know the content of the employment agreement Adrian works under, however, I would expect that he should be attending all meetings of the community board. That is unless he has a really good reason not to, such as bereave-ment, sick or annual leave. If he can’t do the job he is elected to do then he should resign, regard-less of what the cost might be to have him replaced. He says he is good at what he does . . . yes, sure looks like it – being absent without good cause on pay.

Avon, Heathcote should get equal investment

THe city council’s $2 million contribution to a new adventure park in Cashmere Forest has been matched by NewUrban Group.

THe Christchurch Adventure Park which will be built on land between Dyers Pass, Worsleys and Summit Rds.

NewUrban Group, which is investing in the project through its partnership with Jianping Wang of Beijing-based develop-ment and construction company Huadu International Group has also put in $2 million.

Mr Jianping Wang said NewUrban Group is delighted to work with the city council to achieve such a positive commu-nity outcome.

“We are long-term investors in Christchurch and want to be actively engaged in the fabric of the city’s development,” he said.

THe $25 million park will have cycle trails, accessed via a chair-lift that, at 1.8km and climbing 430m, will be the longest in the southern hemisphere.

It will also include outdoor rock-climbing and a zip-line, with scope for a Mountain Coaster – a type of gravity-pow-ered rollercoaster that follows the contours of the hills – in a second stage of development.

THe park will be developed by leisure development company Select Evolution.

It says the park will see year-round tourist activity with an economic benefit to Canterbury of more than $150 million a year. It is hoped the first stage of the Christchurch Adventure Park will be completed by the end of 2016.

Councillor Tim Scandrett said the park would benefit the

whole of Christchurch, not just the local area.

“Christchurch Adventure Park will be the biggest and best of its kind in the southern hemi-sphere, and will help anchor and re-establish Christchurch as a destination,” he said.

“THis is a very generous match-ing of the council’s contribu-

tion by NewUrban Group that means the park is fully-funded straight out of the gate, and that construction can begin almost immediately in February 2016.”

Development Christchurch Led will act as an investment partner on behalf of the council, with $2 million transferred from Christchurch City Holdings Limited to DCL for investment in the project, which ensures rates will remain unaffected.

An additional $2 million will come from the development partnership with NewUrban Group. Mayor Lianne Dalziel said the idea had been generat-ing excitement from Australia to the United States, to China.

“THe concept of a beautiful bike park just 17min from the central city is the sort that inspires plenty of international visitors and thrill-seekers, and this development will draw a lot of the tourist market who all-too-often skip straight from Auckland to Queenstown for their adventuring.”

EXCITING: A concept image of what the Christchurch Adventure Park will look like.

Funding boost for adventure park

Bridget RutherfordA rock protection wall will be built in Scotts Valley Reserve to protect a power pylon pro-viding electricity to the Port Hills, Redcliffs and Sumner.

Orion asked the city council for an electricity easement area, so a rockfall protection struc-ture could be built above the pylon in the reserve in Heath-cote Valley.

This would protect the pylon in the event of a natural disas-ter.

The Hagley-Ferrymead Community Board approved the plan at its meeting on De-cember 16.

The move comes after Orion had a rockfall survey carried out to determine the ongoing risk to the transmission line.

Orion would pay for the in-stallation.

Wall to protect pylon

A Lyttelton musician is in the running for the 2016 Best Folk Album.

Amiria Grenell (right) is up for her second Tui award for her third recording Autumn.

She is joined by Holly Arrowsmith for For The Weary Traveller and Nadia Reid for Listen to the Formation, Look for the Signs.

She won the 2012 Best Folk Album with Three Feathers.

Ms Grenell, whose father is country legend, John Grenell, has spent the past few years per-forming around the country, a regular at arts festivals, and as a member of the Fly My Pretties cast.

Her nomination comes a month after fellow Lyttelton mu-sician Marlon Williams picked up two awards at the annual New

Zealand Music Awards.He won the Best Male Solo

Artist and Breakthrough Artist of the Year for his album Marlon Williams.

Recorded Music NZ chief executive Da-mian Vaughan said he was impressed with the high calibre of this year’s finalists.

“What a fantastic line up of finalists – all with different qualities and tones, but all shar-

ing the same acoustic roots of folk music.”

The Tui for the Best Folk Al-bum 2016 is presented at the 43nd annual Auckland Folk Festival following the Tui Finalists Con-cert on February 7.

The Tui for Best Folk Album 2016 is for recordings released in the 12 months to September 30, 2015.

The leisure pool at Pioneer Rec-reation and Sport Centre will be closed from January 4 un-til – January 29 for earthquake repairs.

Pioneer’s lap pool and teach pool will remain open for swim-mers, with the teach pool to be made available for casual leisure use by the public. The facility’s spa, sauna and steam room will also be closed from January 4 until 29 for repairs and refurbish-ments.

The urgent repairs to the leisure pool will include replacement of damaged and displaced ceramic pool tiles and expansion joints, plus other remedial work that can be done during this period.

“Due to the effects of the earth-quakes, a number of ceramic tiles are coming loose from the leisure pool tank below the waterline,”

says John Filsell, city council’s recreation and sports unit man-ager.

“We’ve previously tried to fix the problem with temporary repairs, but these haven’t been successful and we still have tiles coming loose, which is a health and safety issue for swimmers that needs to be addressed imme-diately. We apologise to our cus-tomers for the inconvenience, but encourage people to make use of the city council’s outdoor pools, which only come into action in the summer and really boost the options for those who want to take a dip,” Mr Filsell says.

Lane swimmers will be able to continue using the five-lane, 25m pool. The Learn to Swim pro-gramme will not be affected by the closure, with classes resum-ing on February 1.

Robyn, congratulations on re-ceiving a Kiwibank local hero award. How does it feel?

Very rewarding I suppose, to be recognised and thanked for what I’ve been doing over the last couple of years. Yeah, it’s a nice pat on the back.

Absolutely. It’s quite an achievement, establishing the county’s first Tourette’s Asso-ciation. What drives you?

My daughter. My frustration at the lack of information when we first got that diagnosis and the desperation to find people to talk to about what we were go-ing through. I felt that there was a lack of support and I could provide that support.

There must have been a few highlights since the group’s beginning? Can you name a couple?

First of all would be Camp Twitch, our first camp for young people with Tourette’s syndrome and their caregivers. Just to provide everyone with the op-portunity to get together, meet other people, to discover that they weren’t alone, there were others like them out there, and give them the opportunity, prob-ably for the first time in their lives to feel comfortable and be themselves and interact without worrying about other people judging them. That was a huge highlight, very life-changing for many people. Being asked to speak at the International Congress on Tourette Syndrome

and Tic Disorders this year was another highlight. That was in London.

So, some opportunities to do some travelling as part of your work?

I wouldn’t go that far! I mean it would be nice, (laughs) but we are trying to set up a better global relationship with other Tourette’s groups because we’re all such small organisations and struggle within our own coun-tries. We’re hoping by present-ing a united front we’ll get a bit more done in terms of finance for our people.

Camp Twitch. It’s a great name. Is it important to have a sense of humour?

Definitely! (Laughs) You can’t not. I mean, you need to have a sense of humour, it’s very trying both as a parent and an individual living with Tourette’s syndrome with the discrimina-tion and social exclusion, but we find the humour in it and some of the tics are quite funny, some of the vocal things that come out of people’s mouths in relation to something they’ve seen are quite humorous and it’s only natural to laugh. If we didn’t laugh it would be quite unusual.

Where to next with the group?

We’re involved with this in-

ternational movement to try and create a global federation. Hope-fully, now we’re in a position where we’ve got young people who have been involved with us since day one who are getting into their teenage years and who will have a sense of what issues they face and how we can ad-dress them. We’re hoping to get some documents into schools for the teachers as a resource for them on how to support children in the classroom with Tourette’s syndrome.

Has there been any particu-lar person that’s inspired you to do this work?

I often say that my daughter has been my inspiration. She’s a very strong individual and has probably tackled the problem head-on as much as I have with educating other people. We have another mother, she’s in Rangiora, Melanie Cox, who’s put in a huge amount of volun-tary hours to help me out and raise awareness. She’s amazing. Robyn Martinovich, who has been with me on this journey since the end of 2013. She’s got a very similar story to mine, her daughter’s very similar to my daughter. I tend to be the hot, fiery, go-out-there-and-right-the-wrongs one, whereas she’s more level-headed, brings me back

down to earth.So together you’re a winning

combination?(Laughs) We are. She’s really

been my rock; she’s there for me (to call on) even in the middle of the night when I’m going a bit crazy.

It’s important to have some-one like that?

Very much so, I’m very lucky to have found her.

I hear Analise stole the show with her speech at TEDx-christchurch earlier this year. You must be a super-proud mother?

I am. I take great pride in her. She has a great desire to change the world and to educate people and to make life easier for other kids like her. Her dad and I, and her sister actually, she’d never say it but her sister is very, very proud of her. She’d personally defend her if other people were saying things about her.

It must be tough for her?It is. Being a sibling of

someone with Tourette’s can be difficult, hearing what other people say about her sister and the names she gets called, and you know you get looked at. It’d be tough, inevitably, not to get looked at in public – it’s not normal for people to be walking around and looking like they’re

barking!Do you find in your com-

munity people have gotten to know you and Analise?

Very much so. (Laughs) People in our community do tend to know us, they’ve seen us on television, they seen us doing our fundraising in the neigh-bourhood, and we talk about it very openly with people.

You trained as a journalist here in Canterbury – is that something you see yourself returning to in the future?

Unequivocally not. (Laughs a lot) Poor pay, long hours. You can relate to that I’m sure.

Mmm. No comment. But you must feel like you’re doing something important in your current role?

I feel like I’m doing some-thing very fulfilling. It’s lovely when you get the (thank you) cards from the kids. I have days when I just want to give up, where I’ve had so many people say “no” to funding requests or asking if we can go into a school. Ninety-nine per cent of the time you get a no, so to get someone saying something positive, it sort of keeps you going. The not-for-profit world is a very difficult one to achieve anything in.

You’ve got some rare free time to relax and unwind – describe it for me.

My family goes to the beach a lot, Taylors Mistake or Sumner Beach. The girls just find it re-ally relaxing, they head off for hours finding crabs and stuff like that so, yeah, we spend a bit of time at the beach and the har-bour. And if I ever do get a spare five minutes, I love to pick up a book. But that doesn’t happen very often!

You’ll be looking forward to some down-time over Christ-mas then.

Yes, roll on Kaiteriteri. We’re off there in the New Year. We’ll let all the madness die down and then we’ll head up. It’s very much a family tradition to go every summer. Give the kids some good memories.

neighbourhood NEWS

Rawhiti School pupils finally have their home away from home after the handover of their new super school was complet-ed recently.

Hawkins handed over the newly constructed Rawhiti to the Ministry of Education and school principal Liz Weir recently, after the school had been split into two bases since January.

The new site is a “state-of-the art facility, providing an innovative learning environment” for more than 500 children who previously attended North New Brighton, Central New Brighton and Freeville Primary schools.

Hawkins project manager Murray Edwards said he was proud that his team was given the responsibility for the facility that is set to become the heart of the North New Brighton com-munity.

“This community has been hit particularly hard by the earth-quakes and we are pleased to have delivered them a school that they will enjoy and be

proud of,” he said.When Rawhiti merged earlier

this year, a group of parents held reservations about the suc-cess of the school, but Mr Ed-wards said the community had become increasingly excited about the new project.

Built on the grounds of the former North New Brighton School, the new Rawhiti has been moved from vulnerable TC2 land to a stronger TC1 area on the back of the prede-

cessor’s grounds.Mr Edwards was particu-

larly pleased that his crew had completed the largest single concrete pour by Hawkins in the South Island to create the 3600m2 foundation for the school.

“That was even bigger than the foundation of the Horncastle Arena. We started at 3am and were done by 9pm that same day with truck after truck arriv-ing,” he said.

The city council has received 22 appeals and objections to its final proposal for representation ar-rangements for next year’s local elections.

Seven appeals and 15 objec-tions to the final proposal of the representation review were received by the time it closed last Monday.

It reviews ward and community board boundaries and elected member numbers for next year’s elections.

Anyone who submitted to the initial proposal publicly notified in August was able to appeal against its final proposal.

However, by law, if the city council’s final proposal differs from its initial proposal, anyone

can object.Although the city council has

received the appeals and objec-tions, it does not have the right to release them.

The law requires it to forward them to the Local Government Commission, which has the final say on the city’s representation arrangements.

The Local Government Com-mission has booked a tentative date for hearings in Christchurch on March 11 and will contact ap-pellants and objectors in advance about appearing at the hearings.

The commission is due to release its final determination by April 11. Next year’s local body elections are scheduled for October 8.

New members have been ap-pointed onto the Banks Penin-sula Zone Committee.

Paula Smith, Thomas Kulpe, Kevin Simcock, Claire Findlay and Ian Lloyd have been ap-pointed, while Pam Richardson and Steve Lowndes will return to the committee.

Community memberships are refreshed annually to ensure a wide range of views are re-flected.

Canterbury Water Manage-ment Strategy programme manager Christina Robb said the selection process focused on finding people who can see others’ points of views and work collaboratively to find solutions for water issues.

“We were pleased with the quality of the applicants and we’re sure the committee has a good balance of community representatives who are pas-sionate about making a positive difference to local water man-agement.”

“By reappointing Pam and Steve the selection panel rec-ognised their contribution and commitment to the committee over many years. They also appreciated the mix of technical water management and farming

expertise that Ian will bring.“Each zone committee is

focused on local actions to de-liver the goals of the CWMS by encouraging good management practices from all land users and improving natural values while allowing for a reliable and safe water supply,” she said.

Recently the Banks Peninsula Zone Committee has been focused on developing water management recommendations for the Wairewa Catchment, supporting the restoration of natural values through its Immediate Steps fund, and ensuring safe supply of community water.

Next year the committee will work with the community in the Whakaraupō/Lyttelton catch-ment and identify opportunities to fund stream bank erosion control and riparian planting in the Wairewa catchment.

The Banks Peninsula Zone Committee is a joint committee of Environment Canterbury and the city council.

Each zone committee has four to nine community members, an ECan commissioner, council-lors from the relevant district council/s, and representatives from Ngāi Tahu Rūnanga.

FRASER WALKER-PEARCE

After losing four volunteers to retirement this year, the Dia-mond Harbour Volunteer Fire Brigade needs your help.

Four retirements from senior volunteer firefighters, including Chief Fire Officer for the last 50 years, Don Cameron, has caused the new man in charge to call for reinforcements.

Incoming Chief Fire Officer Bob Palmer (right) said the fire brigade is looking for some new faces coming into the fes-tive season, and the hot months that follow.

“We last re-cruited about 18 months ago and got four great new recruits, we lost a couple to retire-ment this year so we’re looking to get some new faces involved to do the myriad of things that we do in the bay area,” he said.

The volunteers meet ev-ery Tuesday for training and scenario exercises, which Mr Palmer said keeps everyone ca-pable to deal with any call-out they may receive.

“When they join us they can expect to attend some crashes

and fires obviously. But around half of our calls are related to medical emergencies so they will have to be alright dealing with stress and trauma.”

He said the two big ben-efits of joining the brigade are the formal qualifications and training from St John, and the satisfaction and pride that come with the job.

“It’s hard to overstate the satisfaction of the job, and a hell of a lot of pride that comes with it.”

If you are interested in help-ing out, phone the Diamond Harbour Volunteer Fire Brigade on 329 4899.

GREAT SUMMER READS

yourLOCAL

Sports

Top-class bowling from Jonny Percasky has led Sumner Cricket Club to their first one-day title in a decade.

After the game was washed out on December 13, Sumner continued their unbeaten record in the final of the one day competition against Merivale-Papanui on December 20.

Sumner won the toss and

opted to bat first, and made an excellent start which saw openers Chris Wilson and Tom Gooday both make half centuries.

After the fall of three quick wickets, however, the momentum went back to Merivale as their bowlers had Sumner in trouble at 117 for three.

But middle-order batsmen

Marcus Thompson and Brendon Wellington steadied the ship for Sumner, and the side finished the innings at 243 for the loss of nine.

In reply, Merivale started with a measured approach despite losing early wickets to Sumner’s opening bowlers Brendon Wellington (1-16) and Tom Gooday (2-9).

Merivale captain James Carr followed the openers, and played with intent, but the introduction of Jonny Percasky put an end to the game when he took five quick wickets for only 17 runs.

Merivale were all out for 75, meaning Sumner’s win broke a decade-long drought of one-day competition title for Sumner.

Bowlers key to Sumner one-day win

PACE: Jonny Percasky produced a top-class bowling effort. IN THE AIR: Chris Wilson plays a cut shot. POWER: Tom Gooday with a pull shot.

JUBILANT: The one-day team celebrate.

GEORGIA O’CONNOR-HARDING

Sumner resident Niamh Mor-timer-Semple has the luck of the Irish.

The 14-year-old has qualified to compete in the 2016 World Irish Dancing Championships in Glasgow, Scotland, next year.

She will be joined by four other dancers from the O’Neill School of Irish Dance who will be trav-elling to the championships next year.

“To qualify for the worlds the school had to go to nationals held in Auckland earlier this year. You would dance your three dances and you would have to be in the top five of your age group to be qualified to go. I got fourth out of 20 people,” she said.

‘‘It is a pretty incredible feeling – I am proud to have been select-ed. It is quite exciting as well.”

The Villa Maria College stu-dent has been Irish dancing for nine years.

Niamh (above) said she will have a soft shoe dance, the Horn-pipe and the Step dance prepared for the competition.

It has been a big year for the

school after dancing at the open-ing of the Cricket World Cup ear-lier this year.

O’Neill School of Irish Dance president Cathy O’Neill said she was proud of the girls.

‘‘We know they will be great representatives of New Zealand Irish Dancing.’’

Niamh said she hoped to con-tinue Irish dancing when she leaves school, and she said it was never too late to start.

‘‘Definitely go for it. You don’t have anything to lose by starting even if you are an adult. It is a really good way to interact with people around the community.”

A significant rise in reports of wandering stock on Banks Pen-insula has prompted a reminder to farmers to keep their animals fenced in.

Senior Constable Anita Os-borne has received eight call-outs over four days last week, and more than a dozen reports since the beginning of Decem-ber.

The highest number of wan-

dering stock reports in the first two weeks of December is in the area from Little River to Akaroa.

Most have been sheep but two involved cows and one was a bull on the highway.

The New Zealand Transport Agency is reminding rural prop-erty owners that they are liable for any damage caused by their animals.

If they cause a crash and neg-ligence is proven, the livestock owner may be prosecuted.

Senior Constable Osborne has contacted property owners where wandering stock have been reported.

Of those, one farmer is fixing his fence this week, another ap-peared less concerned about the need for urgency and a third is overseas.

Funding for reserve spruce upBRIDGET RUTHERFORD

A Woolston reserve has secured funding to give it a spruce up.

Thistledown Reserve, on This-tledown Pl, has become over-grown and neglected since the earthquakes.

The Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust has been granted $3000 from the Hagley-Fer-rymead Community Board to re-store it to its former glory.

The 2258m2 of wetland re-serve is the source of the Steam Wharf Stream, which connects with the Heathcote River.

Trust co-ordinator Tanya Jen-kins said it was a popular spot for locals because people walked through it to get to the shops.

However, the earthquakes had left sediment in the springs, caused the bank to collapse and it had been neglected.

Ms Jenkins said she was thrilled to receive the grant.

She said it would allow the trust to organise working bees to prune, weed, plant and restore the creek banks.

It would restore the habitat for the eels that used to live there, she said.

“City council park ranger Charlie Dooley is to be our res-toration supervisor and together with her expertise we can restore this unique little treasure where fresh spring water bubbles to the

surface.”The trust has also applied for

funding from Environment Can-terbury’s Biodiversity Fund.

Community board deputy chairwoman Islay McLeod said the reserve had been tidied up about 12 years ago, but it had been let go since then.

She said it was important to support the trust’s work.

“They’re an asset to be pro-tected.”

NEGLECTED: The wet area in Thistledown Reserve which has become clogged up with weeds and overgrown plants.

Christchurch is full of great playgrounds that provide a free fitness solution for kids and adults alike. Playground equipment provides countless opportunities to get in your cardiovascular (‘huffy puffy’) activity as well as your resistance (‘muscle’) exercises.

Here are three exercises that require no more than playground equipment. Modified Chin-ups

Main muscle groups worked: Back, rear shoulders and front of arms.Find a playground bar at an appropriate level – the lower the bar, the harder it will be.

Hold onto the bar with two hands – either over or underhand grip is fine, and bring your legs underneath the bar. Keep shoulders drawn back and down, and tummy pulled in strong. Pull yourself up to the bar, aiming to get the chin above the bar and puff the chest out towards the bar. Lower back to the start position with control. If you need a bit more assistance, you can use the legs to do some of the drive to the top of the movement.As your strength progresses you can attempt a full chin-up – choose a bar that you can completely hang from. Even just hanging from a bar will prove a good challenge for the hands, arms and shoulders to begin with.

Bench Step-upsMain muscle groups worked: Legs and buttocks. This exercise includes cardiovascular as well

as resistance componentsStart by standing on the floor in front of a park bench. Step one foot up, all the way onto

the bench, then the other, then step back down one foot at a time. You can either step the first foot, tap the second foot, step the second foot down, and then the first foot down, or step up first foot, second foot, first foot down, second foot down.

Tricep Dips on BenchMain muscle groups worked: chest, front of shoulders, back of armsStart with your hands on the bench and feet on the floor. Hands are shoulder distance

apart and facing forward, and feet are hip distance apart. Shoulders are drawn back and down, and your buttocks should be close to the bench. Lower body down by letting elbows

bend back, and then push back to the top. Elbows should stay close (shoulder distance) throughout. Extend the legs in front for a more advanced version

Start with 10 repetitions of each exercise. Repeat for two sets if you are feeling energetic. Always refer to a qualified exercise professional for advice on technique and to determine an appropriate progression for your individual fitness level.

Tricep dips: do a few dips at your bench as you watch the kids have a play.

The days are warm and light now and there’s no doubt the kids will be pleading to visit the playground more often.

RECYCLED DELIGHTSWe often think that after having enjoyed the gourmet feasts of Christmas we can sit back and relax and enjoy the leftovers. However, when cold meats no longer cut the mustard, it’s time to get creative again, writes JAN BILTON.

HAM & POTATO PIE – Serves 4Leftover potatoes and peas could replace the freshly cooked ones.

25g butter 2 each: large onions, potatoes, peeled and diced cup peas 2 Tbsp flour 1 cup each: chicken stock, creme fraıche 1 Tbsp each: dried oregano, prepared mustard 250g thickly sliced ham, diced 375g puff pastry 1 egg, lightly beaten 1-2 Tbsp pumpkin seeds

Melt the butter in a large, nonstick frying pan. Saute´ the onions on low heat for 1-2 minutes. Cover and gently cook for 5 minutes, until golden but not brown.

Meanwhile, cover and mi-crowave the potatoes in a large bowl for 3 minutes. Stir well then add the peas. Cover and microwave 1-2 minutes, until cooked.

Add to the onion and mix well. Stir the flour into the frying pan, then slowly add the stock, stir-ring and cooking until thick.

Remove from the heat and stir in the creme fraıche, oregano,

mustard and ham. Cool. Spoon into a 22cm x 15cm pie dish.

Roll out the pastry to about 7mm thickness. Cut a strip about the same width as the pie plate rim.

Brush the rim with egg then secure the pastry strips to it. Brush with more egg then place the remaining pastry sheet on top. Trim. Cut a slit in the centre for the steam to escape. Brush the top with egg and sprinkle with pumpkin seeds. This can be done a few hours ahead and refrigerated.

Preheat the oven to 220 deg C. Bake for about 35 minutes, until golden and crisp.
