LINCOLN RD RAMPAGE
Businesses,
vehicles
vandalised
by man
in a rage
• By Andrew King
A MAN went berserk smashing
cars, restaurant and bar windows,
pot plants and a bus in Addington
yesterday.
Police arrested the offender
on Lincoln Rd after he smashed
a number of car and business
windows, using anything he could
get his hands on at 1.26pm.
He also threw a sugar bowl
through the Addington Coffee Coop’s
front window and used a large
piece of concrete to attack Maxine’s
Palace Chinese Restaurant.
Witnesses said it lasted about
10min and “extreme violence” and
“a lot of swearing” before police
arrived.
The arrested man is a regular sight
and usually sits on the footpath in
Lincoln Rd.
No-one was injured.
Sullivans Irish Pub was one of the
worst affected, with a sign thrown
through a window and several others
smashed in.
•Turn to page 4
CAUGHT: Police arrest the alleged offender without incident on Lincoln Rd at 1.35pm.
Inset: Sullivans Irish Pub’s window was smashed with its own sign.

FROM
THE
EDITOR’S
DESK
LIFE CAN be unpredictable and
that was the case for Addington
businesses yesterday.
A ho-hum early Monday afternoon
became mad Monday when a
man went berserk, smashing windows
and anything else in his path
on Lincoln Rd and with anything
he could get his hands on.
We have the article and photos
on pages 1 and 4.
Police got there fairly quickly as
did our photographer and reporter.
The ferocity and speed of the
attack took business owners and
onlookers by surprise.
On page 3 we reveal a possible
solution to the traffic congestion
that the Halswell Junction Rd and
Springs Rd roundabout causes.
And in sport (page 11) Cashmere
High are one game away from their
first Thompson Trophy basketball
title. They play Christ’s College in
tonight’s final. Go Cashmere.

Fire rages, homes at risk
Halswell Junction Rd congestion fix
RELIEF IS in sight for
commuters at the congested
roundabout of Halswell
Junction and Springs Rds.
A traffic signal will be
installed before the roundabout
on Halswell Junction Rd to
combat the 2km line of traffic
which builds up daily.
New Zealand Transport
Agency journey manager
Lee Wright said people have
significant
delays at the
roundabout
during the
morning peak –
from 6-10am.
“Some
mornings it
Malcolm Lyall
can take more
than 12min for
people to travel along Springs
Rd and enter the roundabout
because of the constant flow
of traffic travelling north-west
along Halswell Junction Rd,”
Ms Wright said.
She said there are often
lines of traffic backed up for
more than 2km while people
wait for a safe gap to enter the
roundabout.
The new signal will relieve
the delay by several minutes
and improve safety during the
morning rush.
“It is frustrating for drivers
and also risky as some motorists
try to enter the roundabout
when it is not safe to do so,” Ms
Wright said.
The signal will be installed
80m before the roundabout on
the Halswell side of Halswell
Junction Rd.
Two sensors will also be
installed – one 200m before the
new traffic signals, and another
on Springs Rd, 50m before the
roundabout.
The signal will only be used
to manage traffic during the
morning peak.
Ms Wright said the two
sensors will ensure traffic is not
stopped unnecessarily and the
majority of people travelling on
Halswell Junction Rd will not
notice any delays.
Give way rules will still apply
at the roundabout, even if cars
have got a green light.
“The green light will give
drivers permission to approach
the roundabout, but they will
still need to obey the road rules
and give way to oncoming
traffic once they are at the

Junction Rd will

roundabout,” Ms Wright said.
Prebbleton resident and
Selwyn Deputy Mayor Malcolm
Lyall said he was delighted
that the intersection will be
improved.
“I’m pleased for our
community that the transport
agency is pro-actively providing
a solution to what has become
a frustrating intersection on
our local roading network.
This change will make a real
difference to commuters.”
The project it set to cost
around $150,000.

Businesses plan
mass trespass
of shoplifters
• By Sophie Cornish
FED UP business owners are
hoping to take matters into their
own hands by mass trespassing
shoplifters and troublemakers
from New Brighton Mall stores.
The plan works on the same
principle as a trespass notice from
a shopping mall,
except those
caught stealing
will be banned
from every business
that signs up
Paul Lonsdale
to it.
New Brighton
Business and Landowners Association
manager Paul Lonsdale is
behind the idea.
“It sends a clear message that
we’re not going to tolerate this sort
of behaviour out in New Brighton,”
he said.
“If one member wants to trespass
someone from their business, then
they are trespassed from all the
businesses,” Mr Lonsdale said.
He set up a similar scheme in
the central city in 2007 when he
was involved with the Central City
Business Association.
Mr Lonsdale claims the programme
was very successful.
Twelve New Brighton businesses
have so far shown interest.
Man goes on rampage
•From page 1
Owner Mark Sullivan said it was a
real pain to have to shut down while
the damage was being repaired.
“He was in the middle of the road
throwing things at cars and attacked
a bus,” he said.
Sergeant Mike Jackson said it
would appear the man had mental
health issues and has done “a lot of
damage.”
The man was arrested without a
struggle, but swore at officers as they
put him in the police vehicle.
Mosaic by Simo manager Sumeet
Misra said they occasionally gave
the offender food. It appeared he had
just snapped, he said.
The man had tried to throw a
pot plant through the restaurant
window and when he couldn’t he
just smashed it on the floor before
continuing to smash things in the
car park.

Fast food outlet angers residents
• By Gabrielle Stuart
A NEW McDonald’s on Ferry
Rd has been given the tick of
approval by the city council – but
not by the community.
Many residents are angry
they were not given a chance to
have a say on the plan, which
has been approved by the city
council without any community
consultation.
The site chosen for the new restaurant,
on the corner of Ferry
Rd and Heathcote St, is less than
1km from two primary schools,
and two early childhood centres.
It is 2.4km from the fast food
outlets around Eastgate Shopping
Centre, which include
another McDonald’s, a KFC,
Burger King and Dominos Pizza.
St Anne’s School principal
Dallas Wichman said having
fast food so close would be very
tempting for children walking to
or from school.
“When schools are trying to
teach healthy eating and those
smells are constantly wafting
over the fence it’s pretty hard
to get the message across, and I
expect we’ll have similar issues,”
he said.
A petition was organised by
Linwood community members
last year asking the city council to
put restrictions on where fast food

outlets were allowed to open.
But the city council decided it
did not have the legal power to
do that.
Linwood city councillor Yani
Johanson said that was “totally
unfair” on local communities.
“The city council decided it
was too difficult. I just think it’s
a shame because this kind of
case is what we were trying to
prevent,” he said.
The community was not allowed
a say because “food and
beverage activities” were already
allowed in the zone, and the
Government’s Christchurch
District Plan set guidelines
minimising the amount of consultation.
Woolston Residents Association
chairwoman Jackie Simons
said she believed a lot of people
would have made submissions on
the plan if they could.
“We’re always disappointed
when the public aren’t consulted,”
she said.
Kindercare Woolston centre
manager Melissa Fisk said she
had heard a lot of concern from
parents about the plan.
She said it was unfair they were
not given a chance to have a say,
or to talk about conditions set for
the restaurant.
The restaurant has been approved
to open 24 hours, seven
days a week, which she believed
would cause problems.
“There’s enough trouble
around here without people
hanging around at all hours,” she
said.
A McDonald’s Restaurants NZ
spokesman said it had worked
through the proper resource
consent process.
“Our local franchisees are
celebrating 30 years in Christchurch
this year, and as with any
new restaurant development, we
are sensitive to the communities
in which we operate,” he said.

HUNDREDS OF aspiring

Keep your dog on a leash as lambing begins
DOGS MUST now be kept on

There will soon be hundreds

Matt Rose, a city council

their dogs roaming free.
There have been cases in the

The grazing is an important

fire risk by keeping grass short

Mega-facility work
to start next year
at Denton Park
• By Julia Evans
WORK ON the new $38 million
mega-facility at Denton Park is
scheduled to start in late next
year.
The Hornby Library, Customer
Services and South West Leisure
Centre will be sited at the park
after months of debate and
controversy.
The facility is still in the
planning stage and it will go into
design at the end of this year.
But south-west residents
shouldn’t expect to be using the
facility until the middle of 2020.
Although at this stage, these are
only indicative dates.
Sports clubs which have been
protesting the mega-facility’s
construction at Denton Park said
they will fight to the bitter end.
A petition, started by Hornby
resident Mark Peters, has received
1500 signatures – including nine
from the original Denton family.
Mr Peters said it was started
to save the “green heart” of the
suburb.
“Denton Park is the Hagley
Park of Hornby. We really feel
passionately about that open
space. It’s been there for generations,”
he said.
He said he is trying to get the
voice of the community out there.
THE Christchurch Adventure
Park is set to reopen before the
end of the year – but it will look
very different.
About two thirds of the trees
in the park have had to be
removed because of fire damage,
and the 18 mountain bike tracks
are being redesigned.
The $25 million park has
been closed since the tracks,
chairlift and zip lines were badly
damaged in February’s Port Hills
fire, which hit three months after
it opened.
Christchurch Adventure Park
spokeswoman Maree Wilson
said there was a huge amount of
damage across the park.

District Health
Board writes Cashmere
Community Board member
Lee Sampson
A lack of investment over
time along with the arrival of
the new facilities at Burwood
have left The Princess Margaret
Hospital teetering on the edge
of demolition.
Admittedly conditions for patients
at TPMH are poor to say
the least, and these structures
are not easily modernised, nevertheless,
these iconic buildings
still stand proud, almost oblivious
to what the natural environment
has thrown at them in
recent years.
So why demolition? TPMH
is nestled at the foot of the Port
Hills in Cashmere on a parcel
of land valued at around $30-
$35 million. Conceivably, if the
CDHB could demolish these
buildings ‘cheaply’ they’d make
a ‘quick buck’ to help balance
the books. In reality, demolition
costs alone will stretch
to several million, which this
CDHB doesn’t have either with

that has caused a lot of damage,
with the removal of the trees.
So because of that there’s a huge
job ahead to get the trails up and
running,” she said.
A replacement haul rope for
the chairlift recently arrived
from Austria, and new zip lines
also needed to be installed, she
said.
She said about 30 of the
adventure park staff had stayed
on, and those who were not
busy with the repairs had spent
their time volunteering in the
community.
their ongoing stand-off with the
Ministry.
So the make-do health services
and tired facilities have an
agonising short term reprieve
as this frustrating state of limbo
continuous, equally untenable to
all concerned parties. However,
there is one key missing piece
to this puzzle, that’s the broader
logic as to why the CDHB are
seeking to demolish TPMH at
all?
No due diligence has been
provided to support this tact,
besides a somewhat related high
level business case for Burwood.
Moreover, the engineering assessments
generally indicate
TPMH structures to be pretty
sound at around 35 per cent
to 67 per cent NBS with ‘minor
to moderate’ earthquake
That included teaching cycle
skills at schools, cooking for
Ronald McDonald House,
helping with classes at the
Christchurch City Mission and
taking children at Cholmondeley
Children’s Centre for bike rides.
The park is set to reopen before
Christmas, but Ms Wilson said
they could not set a date yet
because there was still so much
work to be done.
The recent rain had turned the
park into “a big mud pie”, and
that made the job harder, she
said.
She said regular updates would
be posted on the Christchurch
Adventure Park Facebook page.
damage, engineers further note
the main buildings could be
’significantly stronger’ than the
current CDHB modelling suggests.
What’s more TPMH’s vast
40,000m2 of floor space would
cost taxpayers about $300-$400
million to re-construct in today’s
money – so potentially the remaining
value of the structures
could seriously eclipse that of
any land sale.
Now the predicament, Burwood
is indeed built so we
frankly don’t require this capacity
at TPMH. So, what are the
options? Well the CDHB seemingly
favour demolition, then
cramming most other services
(including mental health) into
Hillmorton Hospital amongst
others. Personally, I prefer a
slightly bolder vision; this would
involve upgrading and consolidating
existing services and
others, along with introducing a
community-orientated suite of
services at TPMH – ie an integrated
health facility; together
with re-purposing redundant
spaces through partnerships
with the market, possibly Ngai
Tahu. An obvious synergy is the
aged healthcare or the retirement
sector to assist our continued
wave of ‘baby boomers’
– this would certainly help the
CDHB to balance the books to
a greater extent that the pocket
change and lessor community
outcomes demolition offers.
Finally, we must acknowledge
the fact these are exceptionally
challenging times for the CDHB,
and staff work tremendously
hard to maintain service levels
but I can only hope that a newlyformed
government on September
23 can rapidly rebuild the
relationship between the Ministry
and CDHB to allow room for
considered thought and vision
– before all of our crown jewels
are sold off. Regardless, health
services should continue to be
provided from TPMH site to
support the ‘day to day’ needs of
our growing communities.

Keeping great vision
Can you see everything clearly
in each eye when you have glasses
on? If the answer is ‘no’ then do not
delay a full eye test says Dr Antony
Bedggood, a local specialist eye
surgeon. A serious eye problem
often goes undetected because
people do not realise that they
could be seen straight away.
Cataracts are a very common
eye problem and modern surgery
makes them very safe and easy
to fix explains Dr Bedggood.
People who have needed strong
glasses most of their lives are able
to see well without them almost
overnight, colours are bright and
near vision is so much easier. Dr
Bedggood explains that he uses
a state-of the art micro keyhole
technique, a tiny incision to the
side of your pupil which heals
straight away without stitches,
and high tech lens implants that
are tailored to your specific needs.
If crystal clear vision, especially
for driving is crucial to you, then
surgery is really not that expensive
- approximately $4000 per eye
according to Dr Bedggood. Health
insurance covers these costs. If a
complex implant is required, or if
patients prefer to also have clearer
reading vision without glasses this
often costs a further $800 or more
to allow a premium implant to
be used, which is not covered by
insurance. There are now so many
options that it is worth talking to
an experienced cataract surgeon
such as Dr Bedggood. He is happy
to provide free assessment in one
of his regular clinics at Longhurst
medical centre in Halswell if you
simply want to find out what
Cataract surgery is a highly sophisticated operation performed
under local anaesthesia - Courtesy of Carl Zeiss Meditec
the options are. Public hospital
surgery is accessible for anyone
once cataracts begin to make
driving, reading and daily tasks
more difficult.
If you could have macular
degeneration or glaucoma Dr
Bedggood states that he offers
experienced assessment and
treatment right here in Halswell.
Both are crucial to diagnose
early and treat actively to avoid
permanently loosing sight.
Macular degeneration should be
suspected when anyone over 60
notes their vision has recently
changed in 1 eye, particularly if the
middle of the vision is obscured
or distorted. Sudden changes in
vision occur when a network of
tiny blood vessels begin to grow
on the very inside of your eye,
these leak fluid or bleed, which
blurs vision. Assessment and
treatment should be done as soon
as possible, within the week if you
have known macular degeneration
or have lost central vision in one
eye already. Dr Bedggood can
provide urgent treatment in these
situations, please don’t hesitate to
call!
A specialist eye test once a year is
the minimum requirement if you
have either macular degeneration
or glaucoma. Dr Bedggood was
born in Christchurch, studied
medicine in Otago, and trained
as an eye surgeon in Wellington,
Christchurch and Brisbane. He
works as a senior specialist in the
public hospital 75% of his time
and according to Dr Bedggood 15
years treating all the common eye
conditions that affect both adults
and children gives him a huge
amount of experience to be able to
help you with your eye problems.
A full eye assessment at Halswell
costs $180, and we can perform
the vast majority of minor
surgeries or procedures here for
eyelid problems, small growths,
laser, macular degeneration and
diabetes states Dr Bedggood.

REVERSE LAYUP: Nic Wenmoth’s double-double for Cashmere
was part of a balanced team performance.
Cashmere in Thompson Trophy final
• By Andrew King
CASHMERE HIGH are
one game away from their
first McDonald’s Thompson
Trophy division one
basketball title. All that
stands in their way is Christ’s
College.
Since grinding out a 77-
52 win over Shirley Boys’
High at home last week to
book their spot in the final,
they’ve been building up to
the 7.30pm game at Cowles
Stadium today.
A win would see them
crowned Canterbury
champs and will give them
a confidence boost heading
into the South Island
tournament in Dunedin
(September 6-9).
Cashmere’s last title was in
2011, when the competition
was not yet known as the
Thompson Trophy.
The key to victory,
according to coach Ben Sheat,
will be shutting down Christ’s
playmakers and sticking to
their game plan.
“The boys are just focused
on going through our
MID-AIR: Cashmere’s Connor McLaughlin rises
above the defence.
processes and sticking to our
rules throughout the game,”
Sheat said.
“Limiting Max de
Geest and Max Darling is
important. However, that is
much easier said than done.
They have some other great
players like Tom Crutchley,
which makes Darling and De
Geest even tougher.”
Last week’s game was tied
30-30 at half-time before
Cashmere pulled away,
scoring 47 points to Shirley’s
22 in the last two quarters.
Nic Wenmoth chipped in
SPORTS
with a 12-point, 10-rebound
double-double, while Connor
McLaughlin contributed 18
points, seven assists and five
rebounds backed up by Mitch
Mahon with 12 points and six
rebounds.
Sheat called the
performance a “balanced
team effort.”
Christ’s beat Rangiora High
last week 105-70 at Cashmere
High.
In the division two final,
Hillmorton High will take
on Papanui High at Cowles
Stadium today at 4pm.
Halswell win
netball title
at primary
tournament
• By Andrew King
HALSWELL SCHOOL won the junior
B netball title at the Primary Sports
Canterbury winter tournament on
Thursday.
More than 1700 pupils making up
171 teams from 87 schools across Canterbury
came together to play netball,
hockey, football and rugby at South
Hagley and English parks.
Halswell beat Paparoa Street School in
the final to lift the title.
Halswell coach Leigh Hurford said it
was a fabulous, well-organised day.
“We were thrilled that all of the hard
work we put into practicing paid off and
we were elated to come away with the
victory.”
Thorrington School came third in
the junior B netball. In other results,
Hillview Christian School were second
in the senior rugby section after being
beaten in the final by Rolleston Primary.
Cashmere Primary and Tai Tapu
School were third equal in the senior
hockey, which was won by St Andrew’s
College.
In the junior hockey, St Martins
School were third. Hoon Hay School
were third in the junior A netball
All schools had to qualify through
their school zone to be eligible for one
of the biggest primary school sporting
events of the year.

Hot tips to prevent
stove top fires
• By Mark Thomas –
specialist fire investigator
I SEEM to spend
some time every week
complaining about the
number of kitchen fires
we’re going to.
Not that we are moaning
about having to go to
them, but we know the
inconvenience to anyone
who has such a fire. People
who suffer them, regularly
end up being treated for
smoke inhalation after
trying to control what happened.
Last week was quite a
busy one in the kitchen fire
department, and a couple
of the call-outs triggered
messages we all should be
aware of.
Vice-president Tim
Gunther said the musical
promises to get you up
dancing faster than your
dad at a wedding.
He said the drama group
are a small, but passionate
group of south-western
locals who have been performing
for the benefit of
their local community for
more than 50 years.
The cast is made up
of members from places
including Halswell,
Rolleston, Lincoln and Tai
Tapu.
The first was at Breezes
Rd, Aranui, on Thursday
and was a perfect example
of the danger of leaving
something combustible on
a stove top.
In this case, a plastic coffee
grinder was cooked up
because the element it was
sitting on was turned on by
mistake.
I’ve seen bread boards,
The show is to be held
September 14, 15, 16, 21,
22 and 23 at the Halswell
Community Hall, 450
Halswell Rd.

and Restaurant which has

toasters and tea towels all
cause a fire because an
element was mistakenly
activated.
If you persist in storing
these things on the stove
top, it’s almost inevitable
that eventually the obvious
will happen.
They’re not storage areas.
If you’re tempted to use
them as such, then quite
simply, don’t.
The second fire was at
Ferry Rd on Friday where a
pot of burning oil was carried
through the house in
an effort to get it outside.
Inevitably it was dropped
as the flames increased. A
fire on the stove top should
be handled right there. If it
can’t, get out and shut the
door. Don’t spread the fire.

area include:

Breaking news,

your pocket.
Visit www.star.kiwi
anytime, anywhere!
Little River Gallery will be presenting works by two artists, Emma Milburn and Jacqueline
Morren in their new exhibition ‘Mixed Two’ from this Saturday September 2nd. They are
bringing together different geographical cultures, using different media and materials,
both with a strong environmental focus from the manmade and natural world. Their work
is fabricated by using old traditional techniques yet with a contemporary edge.
Emma Milburn’s paintings depict elements that are influenced by the natural environment
of remote and isolated South Island wilderness areas and her interaction within this. As a
Wilderness Search Dog handler and Visual Tracker, Emma is acutely tuned in to analyse
detail along with the ‘big picture’.
Colour, shape, shine, shadow, contours,movement and
texture influence Emma’s abstract painting style.
”The juxtaposition between my experiences of wilderness,
and an urban environment of playing and writing music also
bring an awareness of the interaction between space, time
and repetition.”
‘Monowai’ original painting
by Emma Milburn from
the exhibition ‘Mixed Two’
at Little River Gallery from
September 2nd
For Jacqueline Morren this body of work is a new direction.
She sets herself a big challenge to sculpt without training or
access to technical tools. At times this has resulted in her
having to create her own implements, to aid the stretching &
curving of the silver out of one piece, without the use of soldering.
Jacqueline Morren’s fine
silver and Pounamu jug
‘Punctuated Equilibrium’
from the exhibition ‘Mixed
Two’ at Little River Gallery
from September 2nd
“Maker’s marks are left intentionally; I have no inclination towards smooth perfection. I
love discovering the magical combination of metals & Jade until it feels right, usually after a
long process. This enables the wonderful greenstone to come to life, to its fullest potential.”
The artwork is layered with era’s bygone, present and anticipated future innovation.
The exhibition is running from 2nd until 27th September. For more information, please visit www.littlerivergallery.com

Different outlook
and fresh approach
THE Cashmere Club has appointed a
new Club Manager, Donna Hughes.
“After a very thorough recruitment
process I am pleased to advise that the
Board of the Cashmere Club has
approved the appointment of Donna
Hughes as our new General Manager,”
said Pete Winchester, Board Chairman.
“Donna comes to the Club with an
extensive background in hospitality,
with experience in senior management
positions in Customer Services and
most recently at the executive level in
Marketing and Loyalty management.
As far as I am aware this is the first
time we have ever had a woman take up
the role of General Manager of our
club. It will no doubt provide a different
outlook and fresh approach to what we
want to achieve in the future.”
\
Donna said she has been warmly
welcomed by members and staff at
the Cashmere Club and that it is
great to see the diversity of the
services the club already offers its
members, their families and the
community.
