Major roading changes<br />
scheduled for Islington<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
ISLINGTON’S crippling traffic<br />
congestion may be alleviated<br />
after news that Halswell Junction<br />
Rd will be extended.<br />
It will be extended from<br />
Foremans Rd to Waterloo Rd<br />
providing a new link across the<br />
railway with the aim to maintain<br />
traffic flow.<br />
It is the first step in a major<br />
overhaul of the roading network<br />
from the Halswell Junction<br />
Rd roundabout at Springs<br />
Rd through to Islington and<br />
Hornby.<br />
City council head of transport<br />
Chris Gregory said project will<br />
consist of an alteration to the<br />
existing intersection of Foremans<br />
and Halswell Junction Rd to<br />
channel trucks from the north<br />
eastern section of Foremans Rd.<br />
By creating a bypass, the<br />
extension will take heavy traffic<br />
off Halswell Junction Rd as part<br />
of a road network improvement<br />
to support the Christchurch<br />
Transport Strategic Plan.<br />
The project aims to complete<br />
a local freight route linking the<br />
northern section of Halswell<br />
Junction Rd from Waterloo to<br />
Pound Rd.<br />
The city council is yet to say<br />
when work on the extension will<br />
FIRST STEPS: Halswell Junction Rd will be extended from Foremans Rd to<br />
Waterloo Rd providing a new link across the railway with the aim to maintain<br />
traffic flow. The link is the first step for the Halswell Junction Rd extension<br />
project.<br />

start.<br />
The Waterloo Rd railway<br />
crossing will be shifted several<br />
hundred metres west linking<br />
up Halswell Junction Rd to go<br />
through to Waterloo Business<br />
Park.<br />
Mr Gregory said the new<br />
railway crossing is a replacement<br />
to the nearby crossing.<br />
He said all works need to be<br />
completed before the link can<br />
operate.<br />
Halswell Junction Rd carries<br />
approximately 28,000 vehicles<br />
per weekday, a NZ Transport<br />
Agency spokeswoman said.<br />
The existing Halswell Junction<br />
Rd from Foremans Rd will have<br />
a no exit road with a cul-de-sac<br />
Chris<br />
Gregory<br />
Mike<br />
Mora<br />
proposed for vehicles to turn<br />
around in.<br />
All roads affected will by the<br />
project will include Foremans<br />
Rd, Main South Rd, Pound Rd<br />
and Waterloo Rd at the railway<br />
crossing.<br />
Riccarton-Wigram<br />
Community Board chairman<br />
Mike Mora said the link would<br />
take a lot of heavy traffic off<br />
Halswell Junction Rd.<br />
“There is a lot of volume going<br />
down that little section of road<br />
and when the bypass goes in it<br />
will make it quieter because it<br />
is all residential on one side,” he<br />
said.<br />
He said the railway warning<br />
bells will be taken away from<br />
the residential area on Halswell<br />
Junction Rd making the area<br />
more peaceful for residents.<br />
Meanwhile, plans for the wider<br />
Halswell Junction Rd project is<br />
still yet to get under way.<br />
City council transport<br />
operation manager Steffan<br />
Thomas said the city council<br />
are completing an options<br />
report and expect to have the<br />
scheme design finished with a<br />
preferred option by September.<br />
“Our aim is to be able to<br />
consult with the community<br />
and affected stakeholders later in<br />
<strong>2016</strong>,” he said.<br />
The entire Halswell Junction<br />
Rd extension is expected to be<br />
completed by 2018.<br />

Good samaritans comfort<br />
dog after accident<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
AFTER LOSING a treasure<br />
companion, Philippa Graham<br />
is on a mission to find a<br />
mysterious good samaritan<br />
who helped care for her dog<br />
following a car accident.<br />
Last month, Ms Graham’s old,<br />
but active, dog Luke was sadly<br />
put down after he was hit by a<br />
car after he went wandering.<br />
Immediately after the accident<br />
Luke was found by his owner<br />
surrounded by concerned young<br />
people.<br />
“A young women produced<br />
a double duvet and the men<br />
carefully put the old dog into<br />
it and carried him to my car<br />
nearby and told me where the<br />
emergency vet was.”<br />
For the past three weeks, Ms<br />
Graham has been busy doorknocking<br />
around Hansons Lane<br />
and Suva St trying to find the<br />
owner of the double duvet in<br />
hopes of thanking the “kind<br />
girl”.<br />
Ms Graham said she hopes to<br />
return the duvet which she has<br />
washed the blood stains from<br />
twice after the accident.<br />
WELL-LOVED DOG: A blissful<br />
Luke lying in the sunshine. <br />
“How I miss Luke . . . I would<br />
have liked him alive for just one<br />
more year.<br />
“I know that he was deaf<br />
and a bit blind but he was still<br />
an active and loving doorbell<br />
and guard dog so he is greatly<br />
missed by the family,” she said.<br />
The owner of the duvet can<br />
get in contact with Philippa by<br />
emailing simazine@yahoo.com<br />
or georgia.oconnor@starmedia.<br />

HALSWELL SKATE PARK<br />
CONSULTATION<br />
Last week the city council held<br />
a community consultation for<br />
the Halswell Skate Park. About<br />
90 people were at the event<br />
including school children and<br />
teenagers. The consultation was<br />
an update from the city council<br />
confirming there will be a skate<br />
park in Halswell and they are<br />
looking for the best site out of<br />
Westlake Reserve, Halswell<br />
Domain or Knights Stream. A<br />
report from the evening will be<br />
presented at the next Riccarton-<br />
Wigram Community Board<br />
meeting on July 19.<br />
ORIENTEERING AT<br />
HALSWELL QUARRY PARK<br />
Three new orienteering<br />
courses were officially opened<br />
at Halswell Quarry Park last<br />
weekend. The new courses<br />
are a joint initiative between<br />
city council park rangers<br />
and the Peninsula and Plains<br />
Orienteering group. Council<br />
Regional Parks Manager<br />
Kay Holder said rangers and<br />
volunteers had spent the<br />
last month installing three<br />
permanent orienteering courses<br />
of varying levels of difficulty.<br />
Maps for the courses will be<br />
available from the Te Hapua<br />
Halswell Centre from the middle<br />
of this month.<br />

Deans Ave<br />
Precinct Society<br />
spokeswoman Claire<br />
Mulcock writes about<br />
making Riccarton<br />
more neighbourhood<br />
friendly:<br />
The Deans Avenue<br />
Precinct Society has taken<br />
on a new project to make<br />
our neighbourhood a more<br />
friendly place to live, and<br />
at the same time make<br />
sure that we are doing all<br />
we can to minimise crime<br />
and other anti-social<br />
behaviour.<br />
We get together<br />
as neighbours at our<br />
community barbecues, but<br />
we want to do more.<br />
We know from the work<br />
done by the Riccarton<br />
Neighbourhood Policing<br />
team that simple things<br />
that anyone of us can take<br />
care of, can make a big<br />
difference. It’s as easy as<br />
phoning the store to report<br />
a shopping trolley that<br />
has been dumped in the<br />
street so that it can be<br />
picked up or using the free<br />
phone app “Snap, Send,<br />
Solve” to send a picture of<br />
graffiti to the city council<br />
and someone will come<br />
and remove it.<br />
To help keep the street<br />
tidy, we want to get into<br />
the habit of checking for<br />
litter and rubbish in the<br />
street when we put our<br />
red bins out for collection.<br />
These things may not seem<br />
important ways to keep<br />
crime down, but there is<br />
clear evidence that they<br />
help.<br />
At least as important as<br />
these things is knowing<br />
who your neighbours<br />
are.<br />
If you’ve never met<br />
your neighbours how<br />
can you tell if people<br />
that you think are acting<br />
suspiciously could be<br />
actually out looking for a<br />
place to burgle? If you do<br />
see strangers and it doesn’t<br />
seem right, do phone the<br />
police on 111.<br />
We can all do something<br />
nice for a friend, a<br />
neighbour or a stranger.<br />
Give a smile, say “hello”<br />
and connect with the<br />
people around you.<br />
It feels good to give and<br />
everybody has something<br />
to offer, wherever you live.<br />
How will you play your<br />
part?<br />
Readers respond to<br />
last week’s article<br />
about lowering<br />
the speed limit on<br />
sections of St Asaph<br />
St and Hagley Ave<br />
as well as 27 other<br />
roads in the city. They<br />
respond:<br />
Robert McGregor, of<br />
Harewood – This speed<br />
limit is a joke. Most cyclists<br />
I know with be breaking<br />
the speed limits most of<br />
the time. As many average<br />
35km/h-plus as a rule.<br />
Michael J.<br />
Brathwaite, of Spreydon<br />
– I would have thought<br />
Karolin Potter would have<br />
had more sense than to<br />
suggest we have more 30km/h speed<br />
limits imposed on us – especially since<br />
no-one can keep to that speed in town.<br />
If one does manage it, over-confident<br />
pedestrians casually cross the road in<br />
front of one.<br />
I suppose it will take the deaths of a few<br />
pedestrians to convince the council such<br />
speed limits are a mistake.<br />
Also, it is hard to look out for<br />
pedestrians when one has to keep an eye<br />
constantly on one’s speedometer.<br />
If Ms Potter still lived around the<br />
corner from me, she would realise the<br />
impossibility of getting to Sydenham<br />
from our part of town via any route but<br />
Collins St.<br />
If people drive at 70km/h there, there<br />
are appropriate penalties if they are<br />
caught, and it would be grossly unfair<br />
to punish everyone who uses the back<br />
streets around Church Square.<br />
If the council do not want motorists on<br />
these streets, they need to find a way of<br />
keeping the traffic moving on Brougham<br />
St, possibly by removing the median<br />
strip that has adversely affected property<br />
values and replacing it with another lane.<br />

Increase in number<br />
of thefts from cars<br />
• By Tom Doudney<br />
A SPATE of thefts from cars in<br />
the city’s south western suburbs<br />
has escalated, with about 50 cars<br />
having had property stolen from<br />
them in the last month.<br />
Senior Constable Deb Smalley<br />
said most of the thefts had<br />
occurred at night and the vast<br />
majority involved cars which<br />
had been left unlocked by their<br />
owners.<br />
“The trend has continued to<br />
grow at an alarming rate,” she<br />
said.<br />
“We really are appealing to<br />
people in the strongest way to remove<br />
valuables or anything that<br />
they don’t want to have lost from<br />
their vehicles whenever possible<br />
and particularly overnight, and<br />
to take care of the security of<br />
their vehicles and their homes.”<br />
Valuables taken have included<br />
credit cards, cash, clothing, tools<br />
and electronics.<br />
While the thefts had occurred<br />
as far east as Westmorland, most<br />
had been in the area around<br />
Westlake Reserve.<br />
However, Senior Constable<br />
Smalley cautioned that future<br />

CAR THIEF: Police are warning residents to lock their cars<br />
after an increase in vehicle break-ins in the south western<br />
suburbs.<br />
offending might not follow these<br />
trends so residents should not<br />
be complacent just because they<br />
were not in the Westlake Reserve<br />
area.<br />
They should lock their cars<br />
whatever the time of day and regardless<br />
of whether it was parked<br />
in their drive or on the street, she<br />
said.<br />
Police were looking at<br />
suspicious sales of property<br />
Authentic<br />
Vietnamese Food<br />
on TradeMe as part of their<br />
inquiries into the thefts.<br />
Credit cards stolen in the thefts<br />
have been used at service stations<br />
and police have also attempted<br />
to use CCTV at those stations to<br />
identify the perpetrator.<br />
Last week, police handed<br />
out notices at the Halswell<br />
Supervalue about the importance<br />
of removing valuables from<br />
cars.<br />

Our People<br />
When the world is your stage<br />
Ailis Oliver-Kerby, 21, is fast on track to<br />
becoming a professional performer after<br />
being accepted into performing arts schools<br />
in London, New York and Australia. She spoke<br />
to Georgia O’Connor-Harding about living all<br />
around the world while growing up, her love<br />
of the arts and being related to broadcaster<br />
Bernadine Oliver-Kerby.<br />
Great speaking to you. How<br />
are you finding performing in<br />
Showbiz Christchurch’s Hairspray<br />
so far?<br />
I have been absolutely loving<br />
it. It has just been such a positive<br />
experience and to have audiences<br />
at last is so different. Having the<br />
laughs is more fun. I’m playing<br />
Penny Pingleton. She is such<br />
a lovable character with great<br />
one-liners. Hairspray is one of<br />
my favourite shows and Penny<br />
is one of my ultimate roles. I<br />
did Hairspray in the<br />
United Kingdom but I<br />
always wanted to play<br />
Penny. When I came<br />
to Dunedin I got that,<br />
which is cool, and<br />
now I have it again,<br />
which is special.<br />
You’ve been all<br />
around the world.<br />
Tell me about the<br />
places you’ve lived<br />
in?<br />
It’s always a hard<br />
question when<br />
someone asks where I am from<br />
because it is quite a long story. I<br />
was born in Auckland and then<br />
lived in Christchurch as a primary<br />
school kid. My family moved<br />
to England for a couple of years<br />
before my teenage years. It was<br />
back and forth from England to<br />
here. Then, when I was about 12,<br />
we moved to Hong Kong because<br />
my Dad worked as a pilot with<br />
a Hong Kong airline – Cathay<br />
Pacific. It was getting really hard<br />
for the family to be so split up all<br />
the time. Dad was always flying<br />
so we all moved there together.<br />
What was growing up in<br />
Hong Kong like?<br />

CENTRE STAGE: Ailis Oliver-Kerby playing the role of Liesl in<br />
the Sound of Music with Taieri Musical Society last year.<br />
It was such an amazing adventure.<br />
We were there for seven<br />
years and there was a great theatre<br />
scene in Hong Kong as well.<br />
The dance is competitive there.<br />
I worked hard with my singing<br />
and dancing at the international<br />
Island School. I met lots of British,<br />
American and Australian<br />
teachers. It is really different in<br />
the middle of the city. So cultural.<br />
I feel home there now but I<br />
can see why people would have a<br />
cultural shock.<br />
And then you went<br />
to the United Kingdom<br />
to study?<br />
I was 16 and I<br />
heard about a musical<br />
theatre course in the<br />
United Kingdom. It<br />
was a pre-tertiary<br />
musical theatre<br />
course at Tring Park<br />
School for Performing<br />
Arts. I just<br />
wanted to be somewhere<br />
I could do this<br />
full-time.<br />
What drew you back to New<br />
Zealand?<br />
It felt like I needed to get back<br />
to my roots. I liked the look of<br />
Otago University – I had lots<br />
of old friends going there. The<br />
main building is kind of like<br />
Hogwarts.<br />
What’s the most valuable<br />
thing you’ve picked up from<br />
studying the performing arts?<br />
I think the hardest thing about<br />
this industry is all the set backs.<br />
And you have to believe in yourself.<br />
If you don’t believe in yourself<br />
no one else will. I recently<br />
did the Christchurch International<br />
Musical Theatre Summer<br />
School and Andrea Burns,<br />
who is on Broadway in On Your<br />
Feet! at the moment, said to us:<br />
“If you’re ready, you never have<br />
to get ready”. It is all about being<br />
prepared. And you have to<br />
be prepared for every audition.<br />
Preparation is the one thing that<br />
can help you. You have got to appreciate<br />
the good moments and<br />
not let the bad moments suck it<br />
out of you.<br />
And is it your dream to be on<br />
West End with all your achievements?<br />
After getting accepted into the<br />
Royal Central School of Speech<br />
and Drama in London, Stella<br />
Adler Studio of Acting in New<br />
York and Making it On Broadway<br />
in Sydney, it is my dream to<br />
work in West End productions.<br />
I most recently came second in<br />
the International Monologue<br />
Competition where I was lucky<br />
enough to receive more than<br />
2000 votes.<br />
What an incredible variety<br />
of places to choose from.<br />

what option you will take<br />
up?<br />
I do think London is where I<br />
want to be. I have worked there<br />
before and have contacts. I also<br />
just found out I got into Legally<br />
Blonde at the Court Theatre. I<br />
haven’t confirmed anything yet.<br />
I am trying to defer my place<br />
in London so I can do the show<br />
here and go the following year.<br />
Everything is still in limbo at the<br />
moment.<br />
Tell me a bit more about your<br />
family. Your dad is a pilot, what<br />
do the others do?<br />
My Mum studied psychology<br />
and she is a career coach. She<br />
is also a business owner. She<br />
does psychology assessments.<br />
She helps me with my CV. My<br />
brother Lachie is very talented.<br />
He has just released his album<br />
on SoundCloud called The<br />
Reach. His music is alternative<br />
rap and he creates his own beats.<br />
My brother is also a massive<br />
rugby player at school. When he<br />
was at Christ’s College he was in<br />
the first XV for rugby. He is very<br />
talented.<br />
What’s it like being related to<br />
Bernadine Oliver-Kerby?<br />
She is an amazing aunty. She<br />
is always there for me. I’ve been<br />
to Auckland quite a lot with my<br />
auditions and agency, Auckland<br />
Actors Ltd. She always drives me<br />
around and would do anything<br />
for us. She enjoys watching<br />
shows. She came and watched<br />
my brother in his school production<br />
of Cats and she came to see<br />
me in the Sound of Music with<br />
the Taieri Musical Society last<br />
year. She has an amazing voice<br />
as well. Not sure if she sings a lot<br />
anymore. It is her little secret.<br />
She was in musicals at school.<br />
You are so busy with your<br />
performing. What do you<br />
always make time for and value<br />
the most?<br />
I value my time with my family.<br />
I take my studies seriously. I<br />
loved doing my degree, reading<br />
and performing. I am lucky to<br />
have friends all over the world<br />
now which I value greatly.<br />

Homes wanted for<br />
exchange students<br />
AN exchange programme<br />
is asking for Christchurch<br />
families to open their<br />
doors to international<br />
students.<br />
Student Exchange<br />
Australia New Zealand<br />
will be sending high<br />
school-aged children to<br />
Christchurch, from as<br />
close as Australia, and<br />
as far away as Brazil and<br />
France. But, they need<br />
homes to send the students<br />
to.<br />
The group is a notfor-profit<br />
organisation<br />
that is registered with<br />
all state and territory<br />
Departments of Education<br />
around Australia<br />
and with the Ministry of<br />
Education.<br />
This month, they will<br />
be receiving students<br />
from Australia, Brazil,<br />
Denmark, France, Finland,<br />
Germany, Japan and<br />
Switzerland.<br />
Their new arrivals<br />
plan to live with a host<br />
family and attend a local<br />
school for three, five or 10<br />
months.<br />
Hosting an exchange<br />
student allows local<br />
families to experience a<br />
foreign culture first hand,<br />
be exposed to a new language<br />
and pass on parts<br />
of their own culture.<br />
All students have at<br />
least basic levels of English,<br />
and would attend a<br />
school in the local area.<br />
The group of students<br />
are interested in a wide<br />
variety of hobbies.<br />
Australian-Aboriginal<br />
student Jaydah said she is<br />
looking forward to living<br />
in New Zealand and is<br />
hoping to learn about<br />
the Maori culture and to<br />
adapt to living in a different<br />
environment.<br />
Denmark native Caroline,<br />
16, has been to New<br />
Zealand before and loved<br />
it so much she now wants<br />
to live there and experience<br />
the culture as an<br />
exchange student. .<br />
Nathan is a French<br />
16-year-old student who<br />
enjoys school, tennis,<br />
hand-ball and skiing. He<br />
loves hiking in nature<br />
and is looking forward<br />
to discovering New<br />
Zealand.<br />

CTV <strong>News</strong> now<br />
on Plains FM<br />
A COLLABORATION between<br />
two local news broadcasters<br />
started last week.<br />
Plains FM began live broadcasting<br />
the CTV evening news on <strong>June</strong><br />
7, running each weekday from<br />
5.30-6pm.<br />
Plains FM is a community-run<br />
station based at Ara Institute of<br />
Canterbury, while CTV is locally<br />
owned by Star Media and has<br />
broadcast regional news since<br />
1991.<br />
Plains FM manager Nicki Reece<br />
said it was a great local collaboration.<br />
“For us it’s a natural fit, because<br />
we’re firmly locally based with<br />
programmes by and for the<br />
community, and this a further<br />
reflection of what’s going on in a<br />
visual way at CTV. So it’s a really<br />
nice cross-pollination between two<br />
local entities.”<br />
Star Media editor-in-chief Barry<br />
Clarke said the association with<br />
Plains FM was another step for<br />
CTV as it broadens its reach in the<br />
Canterbury region.<br />
Plains FM is broadcast on 96.9<br />
FM, and is also live streamed<br />
online at www.plainsfm.org.nz.<br />
CTV <strong>News</strong> can also be watched<br />

Trade store supports Fiji rebuild project<br />
HORNBY Mitre 10 MEGA and<br />
The Salvation Army are working<br />
together to get much-needed<br />
building supplies to cyclone<br />
damaged regions of Fiji.<br />
The DIY and trade retailer has<br />
co-ordinated with its suppliers<br />
to provide roofing iron at a discounted<br />
rate for The<br />
Salvation Army’s Fiji rebuild<br />
projects.<br />
Mitre 10 MEGA Hornby<br />
director Murray Smith said a<br />
lot of the credit goes to<br />
suppliers Roofing Industries<br />
NZ and NZ Steel for coming<br />
through with the lowest price<br />
possible.<br />
“It really was a team effort,<br />
with everyone wanting to<br />
pitch in and do our part to help<br />

HORNBY HIGH School year<br />
10 art students have been letting<br />
their creative juices flow making<br />
art representing influences in<br />
the 21st century.<br />
As part of their studies,<br />
students were required to brainstorm<br />
the good and bad that surrounds<br />
and influences them in<br />
the 21st century.<br />
Art teacher Rowena Clemence<br />
said social media features<br />
because the students recognise<br />
they are attached to it along<br />
with other interests including<br />
music.<br />
She said the works were made<br />
in Indian and coloured inks.<br />
BECOMING ONE WITH NATURE: Hillmorton High School<br />
students had spent a multi-curricular day out at Halswell<br />
Quarry. For some of the activities included learning about<br />
native plants and their traditional uses. <br />
Many benefits from<br />
day at quarry<br />
HILLMORTON HIGH School<br />
year 9 students spent a big day<br />
out at Halswell Quarry recently.<br />
The cross-curricular day<br />
allowed the students the opportunity<br />
to use the quarry to<br />
undertake photography work,<br />
poetry writing, learn about history<br />
and geography.<br />
They also undertook health<br />
and physical education work.<br />
Deputy principal Eleanor Sim<br />
said each student was involved<br />
in conservation work, planting<br />
Harakeke and working with<br />
park ranger Robbie Hewson.<br />
She said the students learnt<br />
about conservation work being<br />
undertaken at the quarry and<br />
planting in relation to the time of<br />
the Matariki.<br />
Students also learnt about<br />
other native plants and their<br />
traditional uses.<br />

Sports hub a step closer<br />
ANOTHER STEP has been taken<br />
in the development of the Nga<br />
Puna Wai sports hub with the<br />
city council appointing a design<br />
team.<br />
Engineering company AECOM<br />
and consultant Beca, in partnership<br />
with architect company<br />
Studio106 Architect, along with a<br />
number of other specialists,<br />
has been contracted to begin<br />
concept design work for the<br />
sports hub.<br />
City council’s acting head of<br />
recreation and sports David Bailey<br />
said the city council is in close<br />
collaboration with local sports<br />
organisations and residents to<br />
make the best use of Nga Puna<br />
Wai reserve.<br />
“The contractors we’ve appointed<br />
are world-class and<br />
will be working to international<br />
best-practice to make the shared<br />
vision a reality,” he said.<br />
The design team will now<br />
develop the approved conceptual<br />
design through to a detailed<br />
design, which will be used to<br />
consent and tender out the various<br />
work packages.<br />
The sports hub will be a staged<br />
development, with the first stage<br />
delivering the primary facilities<br />
over a two-year period.<br />
The southwest facility will<br />
include an international-standard<br />
A STEP CLOSER: Another step has been taken in the<br />
development of the Nga Puna Wai sports hub with a new<br />
design team appointed by the city council.<br />
athletics track, two artificial<br />
hockey turfs, 12 outdoor tennis<br />
courts, two outdoor rugby league<br />
fields with covered seating and<br />
general-purpose grass sports<br />
pitches.<br />
The development also includes<br />
buildings for administration,<br />
changing facilities and storage<br />
along with a café.<br />
Beca and Studio106 Architect<br />
first designed the original Nga<br />
Puna Wai masterplan in 2013<br />
and developed the stage one<br />
masterplan last year.<br />
Riccarton-Wigram Community<br />
Board chairman Mike<br />
Mora said the sports facility is<br />
a success. He said the community<br />
board is proud to have been<br />
involved in its development.<br />
“There has been a lot of community<br />
consultation to mitigate<br />
any adverse affects in increased<br />
traffic flows on existing neighbourhoods,”<br />
he said.<br />
More information about Nga<br />
Puna Wai and a copy of the<br />
stage-one masterplan report is<br />

St Thomas on roll<br />
• By G ordon Findlater<br />
ST THOMAS Of Canterbury’s<br />
first XV have turned their UC<br />
Championship around and are<br />
currently undefeated in their last<br />
three games.<br />
After starting the season<br />
with four consecutive losses, St<br />
Thomas grabbed their first win<br />
of the season against Ashburton<br />
31-10. They then travelled to Lincoln<br />
High School the following<br />
week, winning 24-5.<br />
The latest round of the championship<br />
featured a trip south<br />
to Roncalli College, who have<br />
struggled this season. St Thomas<br />
took care of business claiming<br />
their third straight bonus point<br />
win 65-7.<br />
St Thomas rugby manager<br />
Brendon Biggs says Saturday’s<br />
performance was their best yet<br />
and believes the team could have<br />
won more games earlier in the<br />
year had they performed more<br />
in that manner.<br />
“We’re on a roll. At the start of<br />
the year you try to put structures<br />
in place and now after getting a<br />
few games under our belt those<br />
structures are now there.”<br />
Although the team will be<br />
hopeful of continuing their<br />
streak, they will be up against it<br />
when they meet UC Championship<br />
favourites Christchurch<br />
Boys’ High School.<br />
St Thomas’ have never<br />
beaten Christchurch Boys’ in the<br />
competition. However, history<br />
always has the potential to be<br />
made.<br />
In 2007, they almost defeated<br />
Boys High, when St Thomas’<br />
full-back rushed his clearing<br />
kick on full-time and was famously<br />
charged down, allowing<br />
Christchurch Boys to secure a<br />
final minute try, winning the<br />
match.<br />

Ensuring a safe work place<br />
LEARNINg fIRST aid is not only a part<br />
of ensuring a safe work place, but also<br />
an integral part of our engagement with<br />
the wider community. We all learn the<br />
necessary skills to ensure that in times of<br />
emergency we are able to assist our work<br />
colleagues, but are we able to take these<br />
skills home, into the community or on to the<br />
sports field?<br />
Not all work places are the same and<br />
the injury risk for each place can be wide<br />
and variable. The office attended by<br />
administrators does not carry the same<br />
risk as those people working with heavy<br />
machinery, or perhaps at some distance from<br />
a regular ambulance service. It is therefore<br />
essential that you pick the right first aid<br />
course to suit all of your activities – both<br />
professional<br />
and social.<br />
Take, for example, an office worker who<br />
does not have a high risk work environment<br />
and whose concern might be to ensure that<br />
they can deal with minor cuts and superficial<br />
injuries, or the ability to perform effective<br />
CPR. These skills can be achieved on a<br />
course of eight hours duration and would<br />
generally fit into low to medium risk area.<br />
But take this same person on to a sports field<br />
either as a spectator or player when a higher<br />
level injury occurs. The eight hour course<br />
covering unit standards 6402 and 6401 (or<br />
26551 and 26552) does not cover head neck<br />
and spinal injuries, eye injuries, hypothermia<br />
and poisonings.<br />
The majority of injuries occur outside of<br />
the work place, in fact one in three injuries<br />
occurs in the home, making it the most<br />
common place for injuries to happen.<br />
WESTERN NEWS<br />
New Zealand children are twice as likely<br />
to die through injury as children who live<br />
in Australia. They mostly die as a result of<br />
motor vehicles accidents or falls in the home.<br />
fatalities from leisure and sport are not far<br />
behind those in the workplace.<br />
The wider 12 hour course teaches the<br />
additional unit standard 6400 and provides<br />
a wide knowledge base for medium to high<br />
risk environments. This course covers many<br />
of the skills required to deal with the most<br />
common injuries, such as falls (which can<br />
result in head neck and spinal injuries) and<br />
dealing with complex scenes such as motor<br />
vehicle accidents.<br />
If you are not sure on the course best<br />
suited to your needs, ask your accredited<br />
first aid training provider. They can explain<br />
the course content and give you options that<br />
will best suit your needs. Look beyond the<br />
workplace and consider your family and<br />
your location. Check that you have a good<br />
quality first aid kit that is up-to-date with<br />
replenished items, and that everyone knows<br />
where it is located.<br />

HEALTH & BEAUTY<br />
Be health smart<br />
this winter<br />
HaNDS arE the main pathways of germ<br />
transmission. Hand hygiene is therefore<br />
the most important measure to avoid the<br />
transmission of harmful germs.<br />
Wash your hands, before & after food<br />
preparation and eating, if you borrow<br />
someone elses equipment and of course<br />
after blowing your nose. For convienience<br />
it is a good idea to have hand sanitiser on<br />
hand to use in between washing.<br />
Sneezing & coughing into the crook<br />
of your arm or tissues rather than your<br />
hand, reduces the spread of airborne<br />
bugs. remove tissues to the rubbish<br />
immediately.<br />
Keep hydrated, two thirds of your body<br />
is made of water, so keeping hydrated<br />
is one of the most important things you<br />
can do for your health. Dehydration<br />
symptoms range from headaches to<br />
nausea to fatigue, but the effects of<br />
dehydration on your immune system are<br />
not always as obvious. Staying hydrated<br />
keeps the mucus membranes moist, which<br />
keeps the immune system functioning<br />
optimally. Unfortunately, lattes and wine<br />
don’t count, but upping your intake of<br />
water is incredibly beneficial. aim to<br />
drink at least eight glasses of water a day.<br />
You’ll notice the difference!<br />
Eat in season, poor nutrition impairs<br />
the immune response. Fresh vegetables,<br />
fruits, nuts, grains and legumes or pulses<br />
are full of immune-boosting properties<br />
and antioxidants. Nature provides fresh<br />
seasonal foods to compensate for what<br />
our bodies are lacking at that time of<br />
year. Kiwifruit & citrus fruits that are in<br />
season throughout winter are packed with<br />
Vitamin C.<br />
Stress less, although short periods of<br />
stress can actually be good for us longterm<br />
chronic stress lowers our immunity,<br />
making us more susceptible to colds and<br />
flu. We all have our own ways of coping<br />
and reducing stress so whether it’s taking<br />
a bath, going to the gym, getting outdoors<br />
in the garden or having fun with the kids,<br />
do something to unwind. Not only are<br />
you doing your adrenal glands a favour,<br />
you’re also reducing your chances of being<br />
struck down by the latest virus.<br />
Get a good night’s sleep, sleep is<br />
essential for your body to rest, repair and<br />
rejuvenate. (Don’t you find you always<br />
tend to look your best after a good night’s<br />
sleep?) The human growth hormone<br />
that’s released during sleep helps repair<br />
your body at a cellular level, but it’s<br />
also beneficial for the immune system.<br />
Interrupted sleep (or just not enough of<br />
it) significantly reduces the effectiveness<br />
of your immune system, particularly the<br />
natural killer cells, which is your body’s<br />
first line of defence against germs.<br />
