Terrific touch down<br />

Rangi Ruru Girls’ School won the Canterbury secondary school touch championships at the weekend, continuing on<br />

the good form they showed at the recent quadrangular tournament in which Bailey Chamberlain (above) crossed the<br />

line. Rangi finished top of their pool with three solid wins. They faced Kaiapoi High School in the semi-final, winning<br />

11-0, before encountering old foes St Margaret’s in another epic game which ended 4-2 to Rangi.<br />

Independent<br />

evaluation of<br />

controversial<br />

intersection<br />

under way<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

David<br />

Cartwright<br />

INDEPENDENT consultants<br />

have been commissioned to<br />

review a controversial Fendalton<br />

intersection.<br />

City council staff have reported<br />

to the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />

Community Board and said<br />

consultants have<br />

been appointed to<br />

“provide an independent<br />

review/<br />

opinion” of the<br />

Glandovey and<br />

Idris Rd intersection<br />

layout.<br />

It comes<br />

following a longstanding<br />

bid from the Glandovey,<br />

Idris and Straven Residents’ Association<br />

to improve pedestrian and<br />

cyclist safety at the intersection.<br />

The city council has also commissioned<br />

traffic modelling to<br />

forecast effects that any changes<br />

to the intersection and restrictions,<br />

such as those proposed for<br />

heavy vehicles, could have on the<br />

wider network.<br />

“Additional traffic counts have<br />

been commissioned . . . along with<br />

tube counts on the four arms of<br />

the intersection. The tube counts<br />

will measure volumes, speeds and<br />

classification of the vehicles, types<br />

and size,” the report said.<br />

RESIDENTS CAMPAIGNING over the<br />

Glandovey/Idris Rd intersection have taken<br />

another step forward (see page 1).<br />

The city council has commissioned independent<br />

consultants to review the layout<br />

of the intersection which has been a sore point with people who<br />

live near there for sometime.<br />

If it wasn’t for the Glandovey, Idris and Straven Residents’<br />

Association – and if I can take the liberty, coverage in <strong>Western</strong><br />

<strong>News</strong> – I suspect little would have been done about the matter.<br />

The group also has a very good individual within its ranks in<br />

the form of James Wilding. With his legal background he has<br />

the natural ability to think outside of the square and possibly,<br />

more importantly, to read what lies between the lines.<br />

Speeding vehicles main issue<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

Anne<br />

Galloway<br />

A REPORT has revealed<br />

speeding vehicles as the biggest<br />

issue on Wigram’s Lodestar<br />

Ave.<br />

But on-going noise problems<br />

could still be addressed by a ban<br />

on heavy vehicles, city councillor<br />

Anne Galloway said.<br />

Lodestar Ave<br />

and Lady Wigram<br />

Retirement<br />

Village residents<br />

have been pleading<br />

with the city<br />

council, Cr Galloway<br />

and MP<br />

Megan Woods to<br />

put restrictions<br />

on heavy vehicles that are keeping<br />

them awake at night since<br />

April.<br />

A city council staff report that<br />

went to the Halswell-Hornby-<br />

Riccarton Community Board,<br />

and Dr Woods, said the number<br />

of speeding vehicles on the Wigram<br />

road is a lot higher than<br />

the number of heavy vehicles<br />

due to the “open space” and<br />

“lack of development” on the<br />

western side of the road.<br />

“The speed data indicates<br />

around 300 vehicles per day<br />

travelling at or above 60km/h,”<br />

the report said.<br />

PROBLEM: Speeding, not heavy vehicles, is the main issue<br />

on Wigram’s Lodestar Ave. PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />

The number of heavy vehicles<br />

that go along the Wigram road<br />

is 1.6 per cent of the average<br />

daily traffic, which the report<br />

said is “normal” for a local road.<br />

In a bid to reduce the number<br />

of speeding vehicles, city council<br />

staff have said traffic calming<br />

would be the most “effective”<br />

way of controlling speed.<br />

“Traffic calming . . . is not<br />

funded through the city council’s<br />

Long Term Plan. Traffic<br />

calming would increase noise<br />

on the street due to braking and<br />

acceleration and noise created<br />

by vehicles moving over raised<br />

elements (trucks and light<br />

trailers tend to be particularly<br />

noisy),” the report said.<br />

But the report said heavy<br />

vehicles could still be restricted<br />

under the new Traffic and Parking<br />

Bylaw, which comes into<br />

effect on Thursday and can be<br />

delegated by the community<br />

board.<br />

“Staff are in the process of developing<br />

operational guidelines<br />

to assist community boards<br />

to make robust and consistent<br />

decision on heavy vehicle<br />

restrictions.”<br />

Cr Galloway said she was lobbying<br />

to restrict trucks.<br />

“Noise and rumbling is still<br />

an issue and its been going on<br />

for a long time,” she said.<br />

She said the number of heavy<br />

vehicles, as well as the speeding<br />

vehicles would be contributing<br />

to the noise.<br />

Cr Galloway said when the<br />

bylaw comes in, there will be<br />

more “power and control” for<br />

the community board to step in<br />

and help residents.<br />

Another traffic count will be<br />

taken from Lodestar Ave later<br />

in the year.<br />

“Staff concurred that speed<br />

is an issue in Lodestar Ave and<br />

police have been informed of<br />

the issue to regularly patrol the<br />

area. Staff will conduct another<br />

traffic volume and speed count<br />

on Lodestar Ave to compare the<br />

data mid-year,” the report said.<br />

Board chairman David<br />

Cartwright said he was looking<br />

forward to seeing the results of<br />

the investigation and working towards<br />

concerns.<br />

“We don’t know what the<br />

Wicket-taker extraordinaire<br />

• By Gordon Findlater<br />

MOST CRICKETERS will<br />

never know what it’s like to take<br />

eight wickets in one innings<br />

let alone conceding just one<br />

run while doing it. Lachlan<br />

Messervy-Siohane is not like<br />

most cricketers.<br />

Last week, the 14-year-old St<br />

Thomas of Canterbury College<br />

bowler single-handedly swept<br />

aside the Riccarton High School<br />

second XI in a 45-over match<br />

with figures of 8/1.<br />

Perhaps most impressively<br />

was the fact none of Lachlan’s<br />

teammates had to lend a hand<br />

in his eight-wicket-haul. They<br />

were left to watch in awe as<br />

Lachlan clean-bowled all eight<br />

of his victims.<br />

“Mum was really excited, she<br />

told me she could have almost<br />

cried,” said Lachlan.<br />

Lachlan was understandably<br />

happy with his efforts.<br />

However, he was “gutted” not<br />

to have taken one of the two<br />

opportunities he had to claim a<br />

hat-trick.<br />

THe right-arm medium-pace<br />

bowler has already played for<br />

the school’s first XI. However,<br />

on <strong>February</strong> 17 he turned out<br />

for the second XI so he could<br />

bowl more overs. The plan<br />

didn’t work. Lachlan only<br />

bowled three overs, mainly<br />

due to the fact he bowled the<br />

opposition out in less than<br />

30min for just 19 runs.<br />

St Thomas’ lost an early<br />

wicket in their run chase. That<br />

bought in Lachlan at No 3 who<br />

scored 16 of the required 20<br />

runs to secure the nine-wicket<br />

win.<br />

THe game was over so quickly<br />

Lachlan managed to make it<br />

home in time for lunch.<br />

THe young swing maestro<br />

may not be turning out for the<br />

second XI for too much longer.<br />

“When I first heard about<br />

it I wanted to know if it<br />

was accurate. I tracked him<br />

and was amazed, but he was<br />

pretty casual about it,” said<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

$11,000 to<br />

start forest<br />

planting<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

A PORTION of Papanui Bush is<br />

set to be reinstated more than 150<br />

years after its last tree was felled.<br />

The city council has budgeted<br />

$11,000 to begin the first stage of<br />

the Papanui-Innes Community<br />

Board’s plan to regenerate the<br />

forest in Bridgestone Reserve and<br />

an unused drainage reserve on<br />

Langdons Rd.<br />

A city council staff report said<br />

planting would begin before the<br />

end of June, which would make it<br />

only the second native bush in the<br />

city alongside Riccarton Bush.<br />

The bush once took up 36ha between<br />

what is now Papanui High<br />

School and Vagues Rd in 1850.<br />

Community board member<br />

John Stringer has been lobbying<br />

to get the project under way.<br />

“This is essentially waste land<br />

that can now be planted and bird<br />

habitat developed to draw native<br />

tui, bellbird and kereru back in to<br />

Papanui,” he said<br />

Two plantings of 1100m 2 and<br />

1000m 2 at the north and south<br />

ends of the reserve will include<br />

about 1520 native trees, including<br />

70 totara.<br />

Bates breaks records in pool<br />

SPORTS<br />

WESTERN NEWS<br />

• By Andrew King<br />

CHRISTCHURCH Girls’ High’s<br />

Hannah Bates has broken more<br />

records in the pool.<br />

The 17-year-old broke the<br />

senior 50m backstroke and<br />

breaststroke and the open girls<br />

200m individual medley records<br />

at the school’s swim competition<br />

held on <strong>February</strong> 12.<br />

Two of the records she broke<br />

were her own after claiming<br />

them from former Atlanta Olympian<br />

and Kuala Lumpur Commonwealth<br />

Games swimmer<br />

Lydia Lipscombe who set records<br />

in the 200m medley with a time<br />

of 2min <strong>27</strong>.90sec and 50m backstroke<br />

with a time of 31.60sec in<br />

1997.<br />

Hannah swam the 50m backstroke<br />

in ​31.26sec beating her old<br />

time of 31.42sec, a record she set<br />

last year. It is the fastest time she<br />

has ever posted in that event, she<br />

said.<br />

In the 200m individual medley,<br />

she beat her old 2016 time of<br />

2min 26.09sec by 2sec with the<br />

new record standing at 2min<br />

24.36sec.<br />

She also beat Abbie Johnston’s<br />

2013 senior 50m breaststroke record<br />

of 34.32sec, the new record<br />

is 34.19sec.<br />

“I was ecstatic to break the records<br />

as it was my last chance to<br />

achieve these, due to the fact that<br />

I am in my last year at Christchurch<br />

Girls’ High School,” she<br />

said.<br />

“I wanted to leave with my<br />

name alongside as many school<br />

swimming records as I could and<br />

I would love to hold onto as many<br />

as I can for as long as I can.”<br />

In January, Hannah broke<br />

three-time Olympian and<br />

Commonwealth Games bronze<br />

medallist Helen Lesslie’s (nee<br />

Norfolk) long-standing Canterbury<br />

record in the pool in the<br />

200m individual medley at the<br />

Swimming Canterbury West<br />

Coast championships.<br />

The Aquagym swimmer’s time<br />

also broke the 17-year age group<br />

record which was also previously<br />

held by Lesslie.<br />

RECORD SMASHER: Hannah<br />

Bates has broken more<br />

records in the pool.<br />

Hannah swam the evening session<br />

in a scorching 2min 17.29sec<br />

shaving .06sec off Lesslie’s open<br />

record of 2min 17.35sec which<br />

has stood since 2000.<br />

At the Canterbury West Coast<br />

championships, Hannah also<br />

competed in breaststroke, freestyle,<br />

backstroke and butterfly<br />

events and won seven gold and<br />

one silver medal in total.<br />

For the seventh year in a row,<br />

the championships were held in<br />

Dunedin because Christchurch<br />

doesn’t have a 50m pool.<br />

She said she will be looking<br />

ahead to the New Zealand age<br />

group championships in Auckland<br />

in April.<br />

“My next national swim meet is<br />

the age groups, but my real focus<br />

will be New Zealand open championships<br />

during the first week in<br />

July which will be the qualifying<br />

meet for all <strong>2018</strong> New Zealand<br />

swim teams,” she said.<br />

“My short-term goal is to make<br />

the New Zealand swim team to<br />

compete at the Junior Pan Pacific<br />

Games in Fiji in August. I have<br />

achieved three qualifying times<br />

but I need to swim these times or<br />

better during this meet.”<br />

CHAMPIONS: The Rangi Ruru U17 coxed eight of Izzy Inkson,<br />

Anneka Calder, Alice Sproat, Emma Stephens, Millie Knight,<br />

Alice Graham, Imogen Bell, Milly Dickie and Amber Williams<br />

(cox) won in a time of 7min 28.11sec.<br />

Medal haul and champion<br />

school title for Rangi juniors<br />

RANGI RURU Girls’ School<br />

has taken away 16 medals at<br />

the Canterbury junior rowing<br />

regatta in successful outing over<br />

the weekend.<br />

At the Lake Hood regatta<br />

over Saturday and Sunday, the<br />

penultimate event before the<br />

Maadi Cup in late March, the<br />

Rangi Ruru crews were hugely<br />

successful, winning 10 gold,<br />

two silver and four bronze<br />

medals.<br />

The medal haul saw them<br />

awarded the Sweep Oar champion<br />

school, for collecting the<br />

most points.<br />

The majority of Canterbury<br />

rowing schools attended the<br />

regatta, as well as Otago Boys’<br />

and Otago Girls’ High Schools,<br />

St Kevin’s College and Waitaki<br />

Boys’ High School.<br />

Forty-seven of the 52 finals<br />

were able to take place in<br />

Ashburton before weather<br />

deteriorated late on Sunday.<br />

The next major regatta for<br />

schools is the South Island<br />

secondary school championships<br />

at Lake Ruataniwha on March 3.<br />

Garvey in<br />

Faldo’s<br />

team<br />

• By Gordon Findlater<br />

LIFE JUST keeps getting better<br />

for Canterbury’s top female junior<br />

golfer Amelia Garvey.<br />

Next month the former Burnside<br />

High School student will<br />

mix and mingle with the biggest<br />

names in golf at the inaugural<br />

Major Champions Invitational at<br />

Bella Collina, Florida.<br />

The invitational is a unique<br />

junior golf tournament created<br />

by six-time major champion, Sir<br />

Nick Faldo.<br />

Garvey, 18, has been selected by<br />

Sir Nick to compete in his team of<br />

four against a host of other teams<br />

which will be selected and mentored<br />

by famous names, including<br />

Jordan Spieth, Dustin Johnson,<br />

Rory McIlroy, Adam Scott, Jack<br />

Nicklaus, Tom Watson and John<br />

Daly.<br />

“I’m super excited and honoured<br />

to be picked to play on Nick<br />

Faldo’s team and to play under<br />

his name. It’ll be cool to see him<br />

again and learn as much as I<br />

can from his experiences,” said<br />

Garvey.<br />

At the weekend Garvey and<br />

Burnside High School student<br />

Juliana Hung competed at the<br />

Women’s Amateur Asia-Pacific<br />

championship. The pair finished<br />

outside of the leaders. Garvey<br />

finished the four-round tournament<br />

+7 (tied for 24th), while Hung<br />

finished +15 (tied for 42nd).<br />

2 down, 4 to go!<br />

We’re working in three key central<br />

city intersections over six weekends,<br />

8pm Fri to 6am Mon, until 26 March.<br />

We’ve finished work in the Montreal/<br />

Tuam intersection. There are four more<br />

weekends of work in two intersections<br />

to go.<br />

These intersections need replacing.<br />

We’re digging them out and rebuilding<br />

them to extend their lifespan.<br />

Road layers need ‘curing’, or drying time.<br />

If you don’t see us on site, don’t worry –<br />

we’ll be back again soon.<br />

The intersections will remain rougher<br />

than usual until April or May, when the<br />

final surface will be applied.<br />

Project delivered by:<br />

• Avoid unnecessary travel through the<br />

city. Go around using the four avenues.<br />

• When we’re working on Durham<br />

Street, use Barbadoes and Madras<br />

Streets to get in and out of the city.<br />

• Expect delays. Allow extra time and<br />

plan your travel using tfc.govt.nz.<br />

• Buses will run as usual. Expect<br />

short delays.<br />

• Bike or walk if you can.<br />

INTERSECTION 2 — Durham St<br />

2 — 5 March<br />

Durham Street between Lichfield Street and<br />

Tuam Street is closed. Tuam Street is one lane.<br />

Use Barbadoes and Madras Streets to get in and out of the city.<br />

INTERSECTION 3 — St Asaph St<br />

9 — 12 March<br />

St Asaph Street between Antigua Street and<br />

Hagley Avenue is closed. Antigua Street is<br />

one lane.<br />

Use Moorhouse to travel west.<br />

16 — 19 March<br />

Durham Street between Tuam Street and St<br />

Asaph Street is closed. Tuam Street is one lane.<br />

23 — 26 March<br />

St Asaph Street between Montreal Street and<br />

Antigua Street is closed. Antigua Street is<br />

A treasure trove for jewellery lovers<br />

Walking into Warren Agencies on<br />

Wrights Road is like walking into a treasure<br />

trove. Everywhere you look there are<br />

displays of beautifully crafted jewellery<br />

in gorgeous colours and elegant designs,<br />

many of which are ahead of colour and<br />

style trends, and the diversity ensures there<br />

is something to suit all tastes and all ages.<br />

Established in 1985, the business has a<br />

long-standing, in-house team of talented<br />

ladies, who design and create individually<br />

crafted items such as necklaces, bracelets,<br />

and earrings from high-quality local and<br />

imported materials.<br />

Customers browsing through the<br />

displays may see a particular item they<br />

like, but if they need it to be longer, shorter,<br />

or in a different colour, this can be done<br />

easily. Or if there is a special occasion such<br />

as a wedding coming up and they need<br />

jewellery to match or complement their<br />

outfit, this can be made for them.<br />

It’s all about problem solving, owner Sally<br />

Collins says, and this also includes expert<br />

watch and jewellery repairs.<br />

“Whether it’s a magnetic clasp you need<br />

fitted, pearls re-knotted, beads re-threaded,<br />

earrings altered from stud to clip, we can<br />

help. A lot of work can be done on the spot,<br />

including new batteries fitted while you<br />

wait for, what we hear daily, is the cheapest<br />

price in town.”<br />

Former Villa athlete’s tight schedule<br />

• By Andrew King<br />

AFTER competing in the<br />

Canterbury track and field<br />

championships at the weekend,<br />

former Villa Maria College<br />

athlete Tegan Duffy will have<br />

little time to recover.<br />

The 17-year-old is about<br />

to head off to the New<br />

Zealand track and field and<br />

then the Australian junior<br />

championships – with all three<br />

events in the space of a month.<br />

She has also just started<br />

studying land and property<br />

management at Lincoln<br />

University, works part-time<br />

at the Commodore Hotel,<br />

and trains six times a week<br />

at the athletics club based at<br />

Christchurch Boys’ High.<br />

She won the under-20 long<br />

jump at the Canterbury track<br />

and field championships<br />

in Timaru with a distance<br />

of 5.64m in her fifth jump.<br />

However, Duffy didn’t compete<br />

in her other specialised event,<br />

the 100m hurdles.<br />

She is set to compete in both<br />

events at the New Zealand track<br />

and field championships from<br />

March 9-11 in Hamilton before<br />

flying to Sydney on March<br />

12 for the Australian junior<br />

athletics championships from<br />

March 14-18.<br />

“So basically I have to get<br />

back, repack and head off<br />

again,” she said.<br />

Tegan said she started<br />

athletics as a hobby but now has<br />

aspirations for bigger things.<br />

“I am looking ahead to the<br />

junior worlds and what I need<br />

to do to qualify for that,” she<br />

said.<br />

She has to pay her own way to<br />

attend the championships, and<br />

said it would cost about $2000<br />

to attend the Hamilton and<br />

Sydney events.<br />

“I have gone to the local<br />

community board to ask for<br />

funding and my nana Faye Kerr<br />

has helped me fundraise with<br />

my mum, Toni, and we have<br />

held some quiz nights. Also,<br />

nana has a few friends that have<br />

chipped in,” she said.<br />

For the past month, Tegan<br />

has been training harder than<br />

usual and has been pushing<br />

herself to see what her body can<br />

endure.<br />

“There has been a lot of<br />

harder running and pushing<br />

myself as hard as possible. The<br />

weights are heavier, all of that,”<br />

she said.<br />

ATHLETE: Tegan Duffy,<br />

seen here competing at last<br />

year’s New Zealand track<br />

and field championships,<br />

will be back at the same<br />

event next month looking<br />

for success in the long jump<br />

and 100m hurdles.<br />

and support businesses in your community<br />

Spacious new<br />

store offers<br />

expanded<br />

range of goods<br />

With the lease running out on the<br />

Salvation Army’s Family Store premises<br />

in Wycola Avenue, Hei Hei, new premises<br />

had to be found. After searching the area,<br />

including Hornby South, a suitable new<br />

site was found on the corner of Halswell<br />

Junction Road and Colombia Ave, and it<br />

opened for business on December 16.<br />

“This store has enabled us to offer a bigger<br />

range of second-hand goods, including<br />

furniture, which is a new thing for us,” says<br />

spokesperson Captain Kevin Waugh.<br />

Also on display, is a wide selection of<br />

clothing, shoes, bric-a-brac, books, small<br />

electrical items (all tested first), and linen,<br />

which have been donated by the public.<br />

“We are happy to receive good saleable<br />

donations, including furniture and this is<br />

what we have been receiving,” Kevin says.<br />

The store offers free pick-up of donations<br />

– just phone 344 2530. If delivery of large<br />

furniture items is required by a purchaser,<br />

for a small fee this can be arranged with the<br />

store manager Jo McLean.<br />

Another reason The Salvation Army has<br />

Family Stores, is to be able to help people in<br />

need, Kevin says. It may be that they require<br />

assistance to obtain some basic furniture or<br />

clothing items. If that is the case then they<br />

should firstly go to the Hornby Community<br />

Ministries Centre at 23 Manurere St Hei<br />

Hei, and if they meet the criteria they are<br />

given what they need.<br />

Proceeds from sales at the Hornby South<br />

Family Store are used to help fund the work<br />

of the Salvation Army’s Hornby Community<br />

Ministry Centre. This work includes<br />

budgeting advice and food assistance, and<br />

anyone needing help should phone 349<br />

6268.<br />

The new store has two paid employees and<br />

11 volunteers, who work on different days.<br />

“We need more volunteers to help us at<br />

the store, and anyone willing to give an hour<br />

or so of their time a week would be very<br />

welcome to join us,” Kevin says.<br />

“We look forward to being part of the<br />

community and receiving people’s generous<br />

donations so we can continue to do our<br />

community work.”<br />

The Salvation Army Family Store, corner<br />

Halswell Junction Rd and Colombia Ave,<br />

REAL ESTATE<br />

6 car garaging… will be a car enthusiasts dream!<br />

9 Elmwood Drive, Prebbleton<br />

Auction: Wednesday, 21st March <strong>2018</strong>, 2pm<br />

4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 2 lounges | 2 Dining rooms | 6 Garages | Land area 1204m2 | Listing ID: HR4834<br />

Situated amongst some of Prebbleton’s<br />

finest properties, 9 Elmwood Drive, has<br />

come to the market for the very first<br />

time. This sprawling home is as unique<br />

as it is special with 4 double bedrooms, 2<br />

bathrooms, media room, office, formal<br />

dining, formal living and massive garaging<br />

on a 1204m2 section. Whilst decorative and<br />

opulent in its design, the owners wanted<br />

to create an authentic home where their<br />

family could simply relax, enjoy and soak<br />

in the peace and tranquillity of the land<br />

and location. If you have ever considered<br />

a property with large garaging you’ll know<br />

that very rarely does such an opportunity<br />

like this present itself. Whether you<br />

are a motor enthusiast, a tradesman,<br />

hobbyist, work from home, or just have<br />

the requirement for expansive garaging,<br />

this address is a must to inspect! Once this<br />

property has been sold, there are no others<br />

to replace it. With instructions to sell on or<br />

before auction day, what are you prepared<br />

to pay?<br />

Auction date: Wednesday 21st March,<br />

2pm at Russley Golf Club, 428 Memorial<br />

Avenue.<br />
