PAGE 8 Wednesday August 15 2018 BAY HARBOUR Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi News Local News Now Work progresses on Sumner Rd Fire rages, homes at risk • By Sarla Donovan WORK IS on track at Sumner Rd which is set to reopen in March. The completion date for the road linking Lyttelton to Sumner was pushed back more than a year after contractors discovered the project was more complex than first thought. However, city council manager planning and delivery transport Lynette Ellis said the project remains within budget. The joint city council and New Zealand Transport Agency work is being done by McConnell Dowell as part of the $80 million Sumner Lyttelton Corridor programme. The programme is made up of four projects, the others are at Wakefield Ave, Moa Bone Point and Shag Rock Reserve. The city projects have a budget of $20 million, while the Sumner Rd reconstruction will cost $60 million. Stage one risk mitigation is complete and workers are now focused on repairing retaining walls and drainage infrastructure on and below Sumner Rd in preparation for pavement repairs, which will happen over summer. The road has been closed since the February 22, 2011, earthquake, due to damage and the risk of rockfall. It is a critical roading link and heavy vehicles travelling to and from Lyttelton Port have had to use the Lyttelton Tunnel for the last seven years since Sumner Rd was closed. FIXED: Sumner Rd is set to reopen in March after complex earthquake repairs. More women welcomed into Ferrymead Lions TWO MORE women were inducted into the Ferrymead Lions at its monthly meeting, bringing the total number of female members to six. Ivy Lee and Jo Hutchings joined Rosemary Lory, Ann Newsom, Jenny Godden and Ann Finnemore who last month became the club’s first female members in its 41-year history. The change was driven by president Bill Newsom, who is Mrs Newsom’s husband. He felt it was about time the club welcomed the other half of the population into its ranks. Mr Newsom said the club had recently sent a $500 donation to Japan for flood relief and now “after these dreadful fires in the United States and Canada”, the club would be sending another $1000 to the relief fund. “We of Christchurch must not forget that the US would have sent three times as much money here as the Lions clubs in New Zealand have sent to the US after we had the earthquakes in Christchurch and Kaikoura,” Mr Newsom said. To help raise funds, the club will be holding a pea straw sale at the old Redcliffs School site and opposite the Sumner Surf Life Saving Club building on Saturday. There would be a second sale on September 8 at Princess Margaret Hospital in Cashmere. Anyone who would like to contribute to the relief fund should come to the sale and the club will send their donation with its own, Mr Newsom said. Sandra retires after 35 years at Edith Cavell Lifecare • By Sarla Donovan AFTER 35 years, aged care worker Sandra Cody has hung up her hat and retired from her job at Edith Cavell Lifecare. A special morning and afternoon tea and dinner at LeXom restaurant marked her final day on Thursday. There were a few tears, but for Mrs Cody it was time to move on. She started work back when her children were at Sumner School. Now they have children of their own, and Mrs Cody, who turns 70 next year, is ready to move onto a new phase in her life. The great outdoors is calling – with gardening, fishing, camping and tramping beckoning for her and partner Graham. But she’ll still find time to visit the residents and her former colleagues, and plans to do some volunteering at Edith Cavell. It’s a place she’s loved working with people she holds dear, and having her own mother live at the home for six years has made it even more special. “I was pretty fortunate to be here because I saw her five days a week and my brother used to come on the weekend so it was a bit of a family gathering every weekend.” She has always lived in the area and attended Redcliffs School. She now lives on Richmond Hill. In her time at the FRIENDS: Edith Cavell Lifecare residents Elvie Main (left) and Wendy Theobald farewell Sandra Cody (centre). rest home, she’s cared for parents of friends who she grew up with, something “which you never thought you’d ever do when you’re at school.” Working with the elderly is something that’s given her a lot of gratification. “We have some good times, and we have some sad times, too. I get a lot of satisfaction from caring for the elderly and a lot of companionship from the other staff.
