Speed sign battle looms
after council orders removal
• By Julia Evans
A ST Albans parent is refusing
to take down a sign pleading
for motorists to slow down after
being ordered to by the city
council.
Rachel Donaldson, whose
children go to St Albans School,
paid for the sign that reads “St
Albans children matter, slow
down” and put it on the fence
of 85 Westminster St with the
permission of the homeowner,
her sister Diane Donaldson.
But the city council has ordered
its removal after receiving
a complaint.
It said the sign “does not comply
with the District Plan.”
Neither Rachel nor Diane
Donaldson have any idea what
not complying with the district
plan could mean and remain
adamant the sign will stay on the
fence.
Diane Donaldson said she has
no intention of taking it down.
She would consider painting
the sign directly onto the fence
– although that would be an
extreme measure.
“It’s on our property. What’s
the difference between me having
a sign on my fence and me
painting it on my fence?”
Said Rachel Donaldson: “It’s
really disappointing. I wouldn’t
have thought the sign was so
offensive that it would’ve caused
someone to complain, especially
with the political billboards, real
estate agents and signs to quit
smoking all over the place.”
Rachel Donaldson has been at
the helm of a campaign to bring
attention to dangerous driving
and red light running in the area.
She has put up four other signs
in the area, none of which have
to be taken down.
Innes Ward city councillor
Pauline Cotter said she is
“extremely disappointed” that
the city council has ordered its
removal. She was not aware of
it until contacted by Nor’West
News.
“The signs are brilliant, they
bring attention to the problem,
which the profile has been raised
by the community,” she said.
She said the Papanui-Innes
Community Board is working
on a plan to address the
wider issue in preparation for
an increase in motorists when
the Northern Arterial work is
complete.
Until then she didn’t see a
reason the sign should go.
The city council won’t comment
on the matter.
“As this matter is currently
under investigation, no further
comment can be made at this
time,” adviser of regulatory
compliance Claire Le Grice
said.

EDITOR’S
DESK News................................3, 5, 6
AN INTERESTING battle
looms over the sign in St Albans
warning motorists to slow down.
On page 1 today, we reveal
a Wesminister St resident has
been ordered by the city council
to take down the sign because it
doesn’t comply with the District
Plan.
She has put it up on behalf of
her sister, Rachel Donaldson,
who is a parent at St Albans
School. Rachel has been at the
helm of a campaign to bring attention
to dangerous driving and
red light running in the area.
But this sign doesn’t comply so
city hall is wielding the big stick.
Rachel and her sister Diane
have no intention of taking it
down so the scene is set for a
good fight.
On another traffic matter,
Shirley Primary School has come
up trumps. See page 3.

Pupil safety problems addressed
• By Julia Evans
SHIRLEY PRIMARY has
applauded moves to make
crossing the road outside the
school safer for pupils.
Motorists running red lights
on a signalised pedestrian crossing
Shirley Rd have posed a
major threat to pupils.
The school
complained to
both the city
council and
Papanui-Innes
Community
Board, which
Sandra
Jamieson
has resulted in
action.
The city council
has changed
the phasing of the lights. The red
light has been phased for three
seconds longer before the green
crossing signal appears, which
gives drivers longer to come to
a stop before children cross the
road.
Said acting principal Sandra
Jamieson: “It’s great to see how
that gap makes such a big difference.”
There were also adjustments
made to parking outside the
school but that was too new to
see results yet, she said.
Problems were addressed after
CROSSING: Red light runners at this signalised crossing on Shirley Rd were causing concern
for pupil safety.
school staff and parents brought
the issue to the attention of the
city council and police.
A meeting was held in June
with members from the Papanui-Innes
Community Board,
city council staff, police, as well
as members of Shirley Primary’s
staff and parents.
Mrs Jamieson said there was a
review meeting scheduled in the
next few weeks for the people
Elmwood
who got together the first time to
talk about the changes.
Community board chairwoman
Ali Jones said there had
also been great feedback from
parents and the school.
In Brief
BELFAST RIVER REVIVAL
Plans to restore the Otukaikino
River Reserve in Belfast will get
under way this month. The work
will include the restoration of native
habitat in the area. A planting day
is planned for August 27 from
10.30am. The restoration will be an
ongoing partnership between the
community, Trees for Canterbury,
the city council, and The Isaac
Conservation and Wildlife Trust.
YOUTH TRUST FUNDING
Pupils and students from Shirley
Intermediate School and Mairehau
High School will benefit from the
Papanui-Innes Community Board’s
decision to approve a grant of $6000
towards the Crossroads Youth with
a Future Trust’s salary costs. This
will allow the trust to deliver its
Stay Real programme at the two
schools in 2017 and 2018. Stay Real
aims to support changes in a young
person’s life and help them take
responsibility for their behaviour.
ADDRESSING SOCIAL ISSUES
The Papanui-Innes Community
Board has written to the Ministry
of Education and Ministry of Social
Development asking for more
funding for programmes such as
social workers in the community.
The board has seen an increase in
demand for this kind of support
after the earthquakes.

Readers respond to the
article about the Papanui-
Innes Community Board’s
submission opposing
a third lane across the
Waimakariri River
Joseph Adams – Wherever
a new or upgraded motorway
is constructed it may assist flow
traffic flow somewhat better but
always creates a bottleneck at
some other point.
It is for this reason I think that
light rail should be tried and
tested for a reasonable time at
least. Our existing rail corridors
do not share the track with other
forms of transport and are therefore
a fast and independent way
to get from point A to B.
Many people, including planners,
refer to a transportation
mode as “getting to a city”
whereas I believe it would be
better to adopt the mindset “getting
through a city”, for example
Amberley, Sefton or Rangiora to
Rolleston, Burnham or Darfield
via the city.
While this may be a “no-brainer”
one also has to consider the
influence works and cartage contractors
have in these decisions
not to mention those involved in
the sales of fuel, tyres and other
associated motoring products.
When one thinks about this the
list suddenly grows.
Ben Venzy Venz – What
on earth is a third lane going to
do? The problem is there’s not
enough room where the double
lanes end and it bottlenecks by
adding another lane is just going
to make more congestion.
Pamela Neil – Papanui Rd
is a choked mess most of the
time. It needs a flyover all the
way from Victoria St through
to the north road as there is no
where to go to widen it. Imagine
the whinging with that idea.
Carol Campbell – They
should be looking into another
bridge further west to get all the
traffic like Rangiora and Oxford
away from the main motorway.
Rex Livingstone – An
extra lane on the bridge would
certainly help my family who
come from Cust to the city.
A normal 30 or 40min drive,
becomes a 90min trial each
morning. It will not bring more
traffic in, but just help those who
are coming now.
Celebrating Rangi’s past
Rangi Ruru
Girls’ School
principal
Sandra Hastie
writes about
tradition and
history in the
present and
future of schooling
IN 1889, Charlie Chaplin was
born, the Eiffel Tower opened
and even though it was still four
years before women won the
right to vote in New Zealand,
Rangi Ruru Girls’ School came
into being, in Christchurch.
Every year we celebrate Founders’
Day on August 2, the date
when the vision of a group of
women was realised; a vision
to give girls opportunities that,
until then, were not readily available
to them.
Rangi was founded by Miss
Helen Gibson, after her father,
Captain Frederick Gibson, built
a large house with two schoolrooms
on the corner of Webb St.
It was administered by her and
her sisters Mary, Beatrice, Alice,
Lucy, Ethel, Ruth and Winifred
for nearly 60 years.
It was made very clear by the
sisters that the focus of the school
was not to turn the students into
young ladies, who would become
stay-at-home-mothers, but
rather strong young women with
intellect, strength and their own
viewpoints.
The Gibson sisters were indeed
ahead of their time. These years
identify the first stirrings of the
‘Independent Woman’.
Removed from the traditions
of “home,” girls began to demand
the privileges of their brothers.
They wanted equal opportunities;
they wanted university
education; they wanted the vote.
They achieved all of these
things before their sisters in
Britain, and frequently against
the advice and opinions of their
parents. They could see that the
liberating force was education.
The Gibson sisters all helped
Discover this
unique Emporium
NOR’WEST NEWS
in some way with the running of
the school, in fact they all continued
with their studies to train
to become qualified as teachers
and in doing so, demonstrated
the importance of knowledge in
leadership.
Looking through the history
of the school, it’s very clear that
Rangi wasn’t just about academics,
sports, music; the arts and
fun also featured which for that
time in history and for young
women, shows it was indeed
ahead of its time.
I am sure that if the Gibson
sisters were alive today, they
would be proud of what has been
achieved and we all know that
there is still plenty to do.
We are stronger for knowing
and celebrating our past. Where
we have come is an important
part of where we are going, and
Founder’s Day is a wonderful
way to weave the threads of
tradition and history into the
strong and colourful fabric of our
school community.

Evie’s historical connection to school
• By Julia Evans
GENERATIONS: Evie Laidlaw with her father Robert and
grandfather John – all descendants of the Gibson family, who
founded Rangi Ruru Girls’ School.
EVIE LAIDLAW is 12 and she
doesn’t know a world without
mobile phones, Facebook and the
internet.
But Evie is part of a legacy that
dates back to when her school,
Rangi Ruru Girls’ School, opened
in 1890.
Through her father Robert
Laidlaw and grandfather John
Laidlaw, Evie is a direct descendant
of the Gibson family who
opened Rangi Ruru in 1890.
The school celebrated Founder’s
Day on Wednesday.
Three generations of the
Laidlaw family were at the school
to mark the occasion and Evie
was asked to light a candle during
the service.
“It was a really special service
for Evie,” said Robert Laidlaw.
Captain Frederick Gibson built
the school and his daughters
Helen, Mary, Beatrice, Alice,
Lucy, Ethel, Ruth and Winifred
ran the school for nearly 60 years.
The Gibson sisters were Evie’s
grandfather’s great aunts.
But just about every woman on
both sides of Evie’s family have
worn the Rangi Ruru uniform as
students at the school, including
her mother Lucy, both grandmothers
and a myriad of aunts.
Her grandfather married his
wife Judy in St Andrew’s Church,
which is now on the school’s
grounds, in 1965.
Robert Laidlaw said the family

connection comes out through
the family tree and is reflected in
their family values.
“The school really reflects our
family traditions and values, so
it’s really good to see Evie going
there,” he said.
At 12, this is Evie’s first year at
the school. Until now she hasn’t
understood the importance of
the family’s historic connection.
“I think she’s just starting to realise
the importance of the school
to the family and she’s making
the most of it,” he said.
The family pulled out all the
stops to get her there.
“We were fortunate enough to
have the opportunity to send her
to the school and she knows it’s a
privilege,” he said.
The entire family is very proud,
especially grandfather John who
is thrilled his granddaughter will
be carrying on the traditions of
the past.

Short-term
safety
solution for
Chaneys
• By Julia Evans
THE UPGRADE of Chaneys
Corner will see temporary safety
measure put in place while longterm
signalisation is finalised.
The city council said until the
permanent plans are set in stone,
“short-term safety improvements”
will be used at the Main North,
Marshland and Spencerville Rd
motorway junction.
The city council will have to
take into consideration changes
in traffic flow as a result of the
Northern Corridor work.
It would also take into consideration
other possible developments
in the area.
The budget for the project is
just over $1 million and less than
two per cent has so far been spent
on the investigations so far, city
council head of transport Chris
Gregory said.
The final plan will go out to the
public for consultation in September
or October.
Mr Gregory said it was at this
time that more information would
become available.
TALENTED: Christ’s College band Run77 (above left) and Shirley Boys’ High School’s Fuzhun have made the national final of the
Smokefreerockquest.
Christ’s, Shirley bands to rock finals
BANDS FROM Christ’s College
and Shirley Boys’ High School
will battle it out against the
country’s best in the final of this
year’s Smokefreerockquest.
Christ’s band Run77 and
Shirley’s Fuzhun will compete at
the national final in Auckland
on September 2.
Run77, made up of Angus
Mossman, Robert Rolleston,
Henry Phelps, and brothers
Angus and George Murray, won
the Canterbury final.
Fuzhun’s members include
Gideon Valavala, Tasipale
Valavala, Michael Mose, Loutoa
Osai, Temuera Hay, Josh
Mosa’ati and Keenan Jarvis. The
band won last year’s regional
final.
Bands from across the
country competed in regional
competitions from May to early
July. The regional finalists then
made 12min videos performing
their original music.
Those videos were judged by a
panel made up of New Zealand
musicians. Judge and Silver
Scroll award-winner, Thomas
Oliver, said the music was
unique this year.
“It’s so good to see some really
strong writers ready to make
their way into the New Zealand
music industry.”
The final, where 12 acts will
compete for the title, will be held
NOR’WEST NEWS
at Auckland Girls’ Grammar
School. Jono Stewart and Nat
Hutton from Christ’s and St
Margaret’s colleges did not
make the national final, but were
highly commended.

previously taken part in
Smokefreerockquest included
Broods, Marlon Williams,

Volleyballer off to US
St Bede’s final
• By Andrew King
THREE YEARS ago Tasmyn
Fahey hadn’t stepped foot
on a volleyball court, but on
Thursday she left for Casper,
Wyoming, in the United States
to start a two-year scholarship
playing the sport she now loves.
The 19-year-old former
Burnside High student will play
for Casper College after being
accepted earlier this year.
But she didn’t always have the
same love for the sport that she
now has.
It took a persistent coach
who eventually tricked her into
attending a training session to
get her interested.
“I have always been tall
and coach Sam Ryburn really
wanted me to give it a go. I
wasn’t interested, but he got
some of my friends to trick me
into coming to training and,
from there, I haven’t looked
back,” Fahey said.
The scholarship pays for
everything, including food,
accommodation and education.
“I am just so excited to play
volleyball over there. I didn’t
think I would reach this level.
I want to travel, play volleyball
and get educated, and this
allows me to do all three. It is
amazing,” she said.
Ryburn said it was a huge
opportunity for Fahey to get
into the top level of one of the
biggest sports in the world.

“The junior colleges give
you really great exposure
and I know she will take
every opportunity thrown
at her,” he said. She follows
other former Burnside High
volleyballers, Nicky Pio and
Petra Manderson, who are both
at junior colleges in Florida.
While Fahey has never been
to the US, she does have an
American connection.
Her father was born in
Pennsylvania before being
adopted by a Kiwi family. Her
SPORTS
mum is from Greymouth.
“I am really interested to
learn more about the African-
American culture, which I will
be able to do at college,” she
said.
On top of the study and sport,
Fahey said she is really keen to
experience all her new home
state has to offer.
“I am really keen to see
Yellowstone Park and, even
though I haven’t done much
skiing there, I will give it a go,”
she laughed.
shot at playoffs
• By Andrew King
ST BEDE’S College have a
chance of making a late bid for
a playoff spot if they can beat
Middleton Grange tomorrow
night and other results go their
way.
St Bede’s sit in fifth position on
the Connetics first XI football
competition table but could
jump into fourth.
However, they would have
to rely on bottom of the table
Rangiora High getting past
fourth placed Cashmere High,
or third placed Burnside High
losing to ninth placed Riccarton
High.
If St Andrew’s College losses
to Christ’s College at 5.45pm, it
could allow St Bede’s to move
into the top four.
However, a draw would keep
St Andrew’s safe from dropping
out.
Rangiora have only won one
game this year and have had
73 goals scored against them,
while Burnside have retained the
Connetics Shield since round
nine.
St Andrew’s are currently
sitting second after beating
Middleton 2-0 last week.
St Bede’s beat Rangiora last
week 5-2 and are now focused on
putting in a good performance

against Middleton at 5.45pm
at the Christchurch Football
Centre, where all league games
are played this year.
Burnside will not want to let
the shield go or drop out of the
top four in the final round. They
take on Riccarton at 4pm.
At 7.30pm, Christchurch Boys’
High will be looking to finish
with a win against top of the
table St Thomas, as will Papanui
High when they take on Shirley
Boys’ High.

Hydrate to elevate
We all know drinking water is important, but the
majority of us simply don’t drink enough even
though we know it makes us feel great when we
do. We look at the benefits and motivate you to
drink more with a few tips on how to make it just
a little more palatable.
With over a quarter of Kiwis consuming
less than two glasses of water a day
and only 5% drinking more than the
recommended eight, the message
obviously hasn’t hit home on the
importance of hydrating our body.
A recent survey conducted by
SodaStream found that Cantabrians are
particularly guilty when it comes to their
water intake.
With 82% drinking less than six
glasses of water a day, but with over 85%
admitting they feel healthier when they
drink more water, something needs to
be done to bridge the gap in terms of
what we know to be true and what we’re
actually doing about it.
This same survey revealed that although
41% of us limit how many soft drinks we
consume due to our concerns over sugar
content, the same number of people said
tea or coffee is their number one drink of
choice.
Some people even believe that the water
consumed in their cup of Joe constitutes
part of their water intake. This is a fallacy.
As caffeine actually dehydrates us, as
does alcohol too, it means we need to
drink even more water to compensate.
Not so surprisingly the reason we don’t
drink nearly enough water is that we
simply forget. Now with apps you can
download direct to your smart phone,
there are no more excuses.
Further studies proved that people
who had a SodaStream machine in their
homes were more likely to drink more
water.
In fact, the study showed that people
drank 30% more water.
For those of us who aren’t used
to drinking water like it’s going
out of fashion, there are plenty of ways
to increase the fun factor while still
being healthy.
After
Before
By simply turning tap water into sparkling water with a
SodaStream machine and adding a splash of fresh lemon
juice or naturally squeezed fruit juice, is bound to have a
positive impact on our health and wellbeing.

GREAT food
BROUGHT TO YOU BY...
Your fresh food people
BAKED PEARS WITH
VANILLA AND BAY LEAF
SYRUP
Ingredients
4 Pears, packham
4 sheets Puff pastry
2 Tbsp Milk
1 Egg
Syrup
1 Vanilla bean
2 Bay leaves
¾ cup Caster sugar
½ cup White wine
½ cup Water
1 Tbsp to serve Cream
Directions
Preheat the oven to 180 deg C.
Line a baking tray with baking
paper.
Peel the pears, leaving on the
stalks, then slice a sliver off the
bottom of each so they sit flat.
Lay one sheet of pastry on
a lightly floured bench. Sit a
pear in the centre and bring the
pastry up around the pear.
Trim the excess, then seal to
ensure the pear is completely
enclosed. Use the excess to make
leaf shapes and press onto the
pastry. Whisk the egg and milk
together then brush all over the
pears.
Bake for approximately 25min
or until golden.
Meanwhile, make the syrup by
putting all the ingredients into
a saucepan and then bring to a
boil.
Stir then let it reduce – this
should take approximately
20min.
Serve the pears hot with the
syrup poured over and softly
whipped cream on the
side.
VENISON STEAKS WITH
KUMARA AND PARSNIP
BAKE
Ingredients
50g Butter
500g Orange kumara, peeled
500g Parsnips, peeled
2 cloves Garlic, cut into slivers
1 Tbsp Fresh thyme
1 cup Chicken stock, or vegetable
stock, use more if needed
4 Venison, steaks
6 stems Silverbeet, roughly
chopped
1 Tbsp to serve Fruit chutney
Directions
Heat the oven to 190 deg
C. Use half of the measured
butter to grease a medium-sized
ovenproof baking dish.
Cut kumara and parsnip into
3mm thick slices (a mandolin is
useful here).
Layer kumara and parsnip
slices with the garlic, thyme and
remaining butter into the baking
dish finishing with kumara slices.
Carefully pour in the stock and
season.
Cover with baking paper and
foil, place in the oven and bake
for 25min. Remove paper and
foil and bake for a further 25min
until kumara and parsnip are
tender. Heat a large frying pan
over a high heat. Rub venison
steaks with olive oil and season
with freshly ground black
pepper. Place in the hot pan
and pan-fry for 6min, turning
once for medium-rare venison.
Transfer to a warmed plate, cover
loosely with foil then a clean tea
towel and leave to rest for 5min.
Meanwhile, steam silverbeet
until tender, or boil in a little
lightly salted water.
Cut kumara and parsnip bake
into squares and place one on
each of four warmed dinner
plates. Divide silverbeet between
plates and top with a venison
steak. Finish with a good dollop
of chutney.

BOOK TALK: The Friends of Christchurch City Libraries guest speaker at this
month’s book talk is Frankie McMillan. She will talk about the process of turning
memoir into fiction using her latest book, My Mother and the Hungarians and
other small fictions, as an example. The talk will touch on what transformations
are needed to establish the work as fiction, the unreliability of memory and
the role of research. Some characteristics of the flash fiction genre will also

SCHOOL OPTIONS - early & middle years 2018
Welcome to Casebrook
Intermediate School
Cathedral Grammar
The ideal preparation
Cathedral Grammar is a pre-school
and school with a rich 136 year history
delivering high quality education in the
centre of our city. It is a school with a
strong, Anglican ethos and spiritual heart
that uniquely maximises the benefits of coeducational
and separate gender education
in the one school environment. While the
world has changed beyond the imagining
of our pioneers, the forward-looking
principles of Cathedral Grammar remain
as relevant today as they have ever been:
to provide an exceptional personalised
education that empowers our pupils to lead
successful and fulfilling lives.
Our Board has set a future focussed
strategy and we are currently in the
exciting phase of developing plans to
ensure we anchor a forwardlooking
education within the
illustrious history of the oldest
established independent
primary school in New
Zealand. Our forwardthinking
attitude is clearly
displayed with our fantastic
and unique new playground
on top of the roof of our
multi-award winning Junior
School building. Pippin
Wright-Stow of F3 Design
has created an original and
exciting structure to climb in
and through, which reflects
the shape and form of our
majestic Southern Alps. This is a great
addition to the existing slide off the same
roof space.
In this knowledge era, original thought
is important to us here at Cathedral
Grammar. This requires the ability to
think beyond, to adapt, to change and to
innovate. Our strong academic traditions
are important to us, and so too is every
pupil reaching their full potential, building
their self-confidence and making friends
for life. Our challenge is to find the perfect
balance as we prepare our pupils for life.
Every pupil. Every day.
Come and see what the buzz is about and
what we will provide your child and family.
We look forward to hosting you at our
Open day, or any time that best suits you.
Year 7 & 8 students are a
unique age group that we
specialise in educating. Our
staff and school resources
are all geared for this stage
of personal development
and focus on providing as
a diverse range of learning
opportunities to create a wellrounded
individual.
Our learning environment
is supported by a strong
focus on our school values
of Respect (Whakaute),
Excellence (Panekiretanga)
and Perseverance (Hiringa). Through
these ‘REP’ values we develop within each
student a sense of self worth to realise their
importance as a member of our Casebrook
community.
Our school environment is one where
students are safe and have the confidence
to take risks with their learning. In
this way the students at Casebrook are
supported and encouraged to become selfmotived,
independent learners.
We value the partnership between home
and school. Together we can create an
environment where we foster feelings of
pride and belonging. We are sure you will
enjoy being a part of our community and
I would welcome the opportunity to meet
with you to discuss your child’s future at
Casebrook.

DND SHOWBAND returns to the Hornby Club
next Saturday 19th August, and by popular
request will include their ABBA tribute set in the
programme!
Christchurch based DnD Showband has been
delighting audiences across the country with
their multi-tribute theme shows for an incredible
ten years. Despite earthquakes, tsunami warnings,
wild fires, and floods they continue to travel the
country - although it may take them a little
longer than in earlier days to reach their
destination! Coming months sees them with
show performances in Blenheim, Hawera,
Waikanae, Levin, Porirua, Ashburton, and
Timaru. Check out their website
www.dndshowband.com for show details.
“We’re rather proud that we get repeat
bookings around the country. The North Island
especially has a huge pool of amazing talent at its
disposal. It’s flattering that an act from
Christchurch is so well received,” said Jo Davern,
DnD manager.
In rehearsal mode for next Saturday’s show at
the Hornby Club, the 6 piece live band has been
busy fine tuning show content, sorting costumes
and tightening up moves.
“It’s not just all about ABBA, we’ve put together
a great play list guaranteed to get everyone up
dancing. And for those who prefer to listen and
watch, our professional tech’s Peter and Amanda
will be out front running our sound and light
systems to ensure it sounds and looks wonderful,”
said Jo.
DnD Showband present ‘Dance the Night
Away’ with feature set ABBA at the Hornby Club
on Saturday 19th August. 8pm start Doors open
at 6.30pm. Tickets $20 on sale now at the Hornby
