Email sarla.donovan@starmedia.kiwi FLAME FILES Rescuing animals all part of the job • By Mark Thomas – specialist fire investigator I’M NOT sure what got into the pets of Halswell last week but over just two days our crews were called to three animal rescues in the suburb. First a dog chased a rabbit underneath a childcare centre – and stayed there. It was retrieved. Second, a horse was stuck down a bank at Kennedy’s Bush. With local help and a vet on-site it was winched up. Finally, an old fashioned catup-a-tree event in Arkwright Pl shows no record of just what was done in the radio message log. It might still be there. But I doubt it. To complete this animal report a mama duck from Bromley, who is a bit out of season with her troop of ducklings, fell into a drain only to be rescued by the good lads of the Woolston Fire Station. A bit early in the year you’d think. I hope they all survive. There were fires of course. A very elderly lady wielding a walking stick actively prevented neighbours evacuating her from her home in Sockburn after a kitchen fire on June 24. Consequently, she was treated for smoke inhalation at the scene. Someone in Redwood used a toaster as a cigarette lighter by lying it on its side on June 23. Not too surprisingly the toaster caught fire. There’s a thousand ways your house can catch fire. But there are many hundreds of thousands of houses. Most will never burn. A bit of common sense makes it much less likely. Just how common that common sense is, I sometimes wonder. We said: Linwood College is on the move to the former Avonside Girls’ High School site while the school is being rebuilt You said: Laura McIntosh – Lots of chopping and changing and moving of sites to create this Avonside Girls’ High School/ Shirley Boys’ High School super school. Seems like they should be staying where they are. Is Linwood going to adopt this new student-led learning policy like Haeata? Lisa Armstrong – This has made me so mad. I have had several chats with the principal and others and they all said that they won’t be moving, as they didn’t want it to interfere with the students and thought moving VISION: Architect Carsten Auer will redesign Linwood College, which will move to the former Avonside Girls’ High School site while it is rebuilt. PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER sites would do more harm than good. The original plan was to do one block that was not being used at the time, i.e build a new gym on site, then remove the old building. Sounds like saving dollars became the first priority. Stephan Lance Gardiner – Fact of the day, the grounds were used as the morge for the influenza pandemic during the war before the school was built.

SOUTHERN VIEW Latest Christchurch news at www. .kiwi Tuesday July 4 2017 5 News Lower speed zones may be brought forward •From page 1 But St Anne’s was facing the prospect of a three to five-year wait after the Linwood Village project was met with public criticism and was taken back by the city council. Principal Dallas Wichman said that was “a lot of time in the meantime for someone to get run over.” He was pleased to hear that the city council may look at prioritising the speed zones. “There’s a lot of schools higher up the order (for getting speed zones) which are in quiet roads, compared to us. In terms of the volume of cars, we must be one of the highest in the city.” Traffic figures from April last year showed along Ferry Rd between Osborne St and Aldwins Rd an average of 24,600 vehicles per day used the road with 1810 during peak traffic from 8am- 9am and the same figures for the school peak between 3pm and 4pm. A 1759-signature petition was presented to the city council in March, asking for its support in lowering speed limits outside the schools. Meanwhile, Linwood Avenue School is to have a speed cushion and a ‘recommended’ reduced SPEED: Te Waka Unua and St Anne’s Catholic schools are still fighting to have reduced speed limits and flashing speed reduction signs put in place.

Principal Blair Dravitski said it would hopefully deter drivers from using the slipway as a shortcut to the Aldwins Rd traffic lights. He said the school was not eligible for an official, flashing speed reduction sign as they already had a level crossing. WHAT ABOUT a SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER? Dry cuts are cheaper Dad!
