THE SOUNDS of mambo,

heard coming from the Christ’s

was one of the most satisfying
collaborations he’s experienced.
“The growth and development
of the characters and performances
was incredibly rewarding
to see. The work of Rangi

and passion; her commitment to
the orchestra and the cast – she

Call to
improve
cycle
safety on
Memorial
Avenue
• By Sophie Cornish
A CALL has been made to
improve cycle safety on Memorial
Ave including extending cycle
lanes and changes to parking
management.
In a city council Long Term
Plan 2018-2028 submission last
week, the Commodore Hotel
expressed its interest in supporting
an increase in cyclists using
Memorial Ave, however, it said
cyclists often have to compete
with parked cars for space in the
corridor.
“This pushes cyclists out into
the traffic lane encroaching into
motorist’s space and creates an
unsafe environment for all,”
said the submission, presented
by general manager Michael
Patterson.
Currently on-street parking on
Memorial Ave is not subject to
time restrictions or parking fees.
The hotel is requesting parking
restrictions be applied to reduce
all-day parking near the airport
and that ideas around parking
clearways during peak hours and
shared paths be considered.

CYCLING HAS been a hot topic in the city council’s Long Term
Plan submissions 2018-2028.
The Memorial Ave corridor is a busy one and there has been
calls to make it safer for cyclists (page 1).
The Commodore Hotel is calling for the city council to amend
the current parking along the avenue to ensure cyclists have
enough space to ride safely. 26th August 2018
This might see time restrictions on parking, meaning those
who don’t want to pay for long-term 10am parking – at 3pm the airport
might have to find somewhere else to park their cars.

It expressed its interest in getting tourists using e-bikes and using
the corridor as a way to connect the area to the central city.
With the LTP submissions and hearings now complete, we
will have to wait and see whether the city council believes it is a
priority.

Condition of Belfast reserve “critical”
Stormwater,

restoration
• By Sophie Cornish
ONE OF Christchurch’s “best
kept secrets” is being damaged
by untreated stormwater from
Belfast.
The Otukaikino Reserve’s
lake and streams have litter,
unwanted plant material and
even dead eels
flowing into
them, which
is becoming a
“critical” problem
to the reserve’s
restoration,
Matthew

ranger Matthew
Brosnahan.
Mr Brosnahan is calling
for the Styx Storm Water
Management Plan, which was
previously scheduled for 2018-
2021, to be included in the city
council’s 2018-2028 Long Term
Plan after it was pushed out to
beyond June 2021.

city is currently being restored
following damage as a result of
the earthquakes. The restoration
work has been done by a combination
of private enterprise
– Lamb & Hayward – DOC,
Environment Canterbury and
community groups.
For every funeral arranged
by Lamb & Hayward, a native
plant is established in the reserve
which is a place of commemoration
for family and friends.
The management plan would
see stormwater treated at a facility
prior to entering the reserve,
which is one of the few remaining
wetlands in Christchurch.
Mr Brosnahan said not only
is the reserve not a burden on
Christchurch ratepayers due to
being privately funded, but it
also has “significant cultural and
ecological values.”
“With the completion of
Christchurch Northern Corridor
in 2021, this will place the
reserve as a significant visual
feature at the northern entrance
to Christchurch.”
NZTA predicts 66,000 vehicle
movements per day through this
area by 2024.

In Brief
SHIRLEY FACILITY SURVEY
More than 40 responses have
been received by city council staff
after an engagement survey over
a community facility at 10 Shirley
Rd. The survey asked those living
in the area what type of facility
and activities they would like to
see at the old Shirley Community
Centre site. The city council
and Papanui-Innes Community
Board will now wait until the
conclusion of the Long Term
Plan process to see if funding
is granted for a few facility. If
funding is approved, a workshop
will be held with the community
board and an engagement and
communications plan will be
developed.
GRAMPIAN ST TREES
The city council will remove
two trees at the site of the water
supply station on Grampian
St, Casebrook. The work will
be carried out as part of the
construction of a new water
supply well within the pump
station site. The trees were
inspected by an arborist and
found to be in poor condition.
A white peppermint gum has
structural defects and a silver
birch is in poor condition due to
excessive decay. Other smaller
trees and shrubs may require
removal for the installation of a
new boundary fence.

through Z Energy’s Good
In The Hood campaign
THIS YEAR Bishopdale
Community Trust will receive
a proportion of the $4000 given
away by Z Bishopdale service
station as part of its Good In
The Hood campaign.
How much we receive depends
on customers’ votes at the
gas station. We’re asking every
customer to consider voting for
us, and here’s why.
Our trust was formed in 1999
and has been working to create
a connected, inclusive and
resilient Bishopdale ever since.
We run Sundbye Community
House at 100 Farrington Ave
where we provide a wide variety
of interesting, free or low cost
activities to people in the wider
Bishopdale area.
We like to think we have
something for everyone but are
always open to suggestions of
new activities.
Currently you can enjoy
scrabble, greeting card making,
craft, 500 cards, two walking
groups and yoga in addition to
Monday coffee mornings and
Thursday community lunches.
We hate to think that anyone
in Bishopdale feels isolated,
alone or unappreciated so if you
want to meet people, try a new
activity, volunteer, or are just
new to the area we would love
you to drop in any time Monday
to Thursday 10am-3pm.
We work hard to ensure
that Sundbye House is a very
welcoming place and it’s often
described by our community
members as “a home away from
home.”
The trust is very proud to be
part of community life in Bishopdale
and we act as an information

Call to make Memorial Ave safer
•From page 1
“The hotel has an interest in
safer cycle access for it’s employees,
tourist opportunities with
e-bikes, families that regularly
cycle along this route and as a organisation
with a strong desire to
see more people safely cycling on
a comprehensive cycle network in
Christchurch,” said the submission.
The draft LTP currently
proposes a $206m investment
in the Major Cycleways Routes,
however, none of these routes
provide a direct link between the
Christchurch International Airport
and the central city, along
Memorial Ave.
Mr Patterson said along with
key attractors at each end of the
route (the airport and central
city), there are many institutions
that would benefit from improved
cycle provisions including Burnside
Park, Burnside High School,
Christ The King Catholic School,
Burnside Primary School, as well
as thousands of residents.
It acknowledged there are
sections where parking removal
would conflict with other community
facilities, such as sports
facilities at Burnside Park.
In this location, a shared path

considered.

Fire rages, homes at risk
Feedback favours
Harewood,
Yaldhurst plan
• By Sophie Cornish
SUBMISSIONS made to the city
council on lowering speed limits
in Harewood and Yaldhurst
show most people support the
planned changes.
The city council received 144
submissions and said no changes
have been made to
the proposal as a
result of consultation.
Under the
plan, parts of
Sawyers Arms,
Julie
Greenwood
Waimakariri,
Harewood,
Styx Mill and
Gardiners Rds
could all become 60km/h while
parts of Highstead, Claridges,
Hussey and Harewood Rd could
be reduced to 50km/h from
80km/h.
The city council will now
make recommendations to the
Fendalton-Harewood-Waimairi
Community Board, which will
implement any changes.
Harewood School principal
Julie Greenwood said she is
“very happy” the city council has
indicated it supports lowering
the speed limit outside of the
school to 60km/h.
Previously, Ms Greenwood
encouraged people in the community
to submit, and is pleased
the feedback has been positive.
“There was a lot of people that
I didn’t know who submitted. It
wasn’t just school families that
were putting in submissions and
making comments that there is
a school, a playcentre and two
churches nearby,” she said.
For the Harewood area,
218 submitters supported the
planned changes, 38 didn’t and
32 did not indicate.
Hussey Rd received 94 submissions
in support of changes to
the speed limit, 16 did not support
it and 34 did not indicate.
For the Yaldhurst area, 85
people were in support, eight did
not and 51 did not indicate.
A city council report previously
said the lower speed
limits would aim to address the
changing nature of post-quake,

The changes seek to mitigate
the effects of increased traffic
flows along previously rural
roads and reduce the risk and
severity of accidents to residents
and users of these roads.
Ms Greenwood said she plans
to speak at the next community
board meeting to discuss the
possibility of the speed limit
being dropped even lower to
50km/h.
“Anything that we can do
to enhance the safety of our
students is a priority,” she said.
ORANA FUNDING SOUGHT
Orana Wildlife Park has asked
the city council to increase its
operational fund to $500,000
from $200,000. During the
Long Term Plan hearings park
chief executive Lynne Anderson

were “unsustainable” and it
needed support from the city

Goals for tree-planting group
TREES FOR Canterbury is on
track to plant one million native
trees and has set itself a new
target of planting a million more.
The group regularly works in
partnership with the city council,
donating plants for community
planting days such as the one
held earlier this month at Styx
Mill Conservation Reserve,
where close to 2000 native plants
were planted.
The not-for-profit nursery has
been running since the 1990s and
later this year hopes to chalk up
a major milestone, achieving the
planting of one million trees at
sites around the city.
A celebration of the milestone
will be held at Travis Wetland
Reserve in September.
Trees for Canterbury manager
Steve Bush, has been in the role
since 1992 and is proud of what
the organisation has achieved.
“It is a true social enterprise in
that 100 per cent of our income
goes into the running of the
nursery and carrying out our
aims. It’s a real buzz to see the
trees we’ve planted around the
city and the region and know that
we’ve helped create that legacy.
You can go back years later and
see a huge change, so it’s really
fantastic.”

was able to donate only a few

“We show up with lots of plants
and encourage lots of people to
come. For the recent Styx Mill
planting day, we contributed 1950
plants,” he said.
All of the plant seedlings and
trees that the nursery donates are

Students combine for exhibition
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
AN ARTWORK exhibition
capturing the struggles the city’s
youth faces today is on display
in the central city.
Students from five of the
city’s alternative education programmes
have collaborated to
present mixed media art exhibition
A Chance To Be Heard.
Headed by former Survivor
New Zealand and Te Kaupapa
Whakaora manager Salatielu
Tiatia, A Chance To Be Heard
aims to fight the ongoing stigma
against alternative education.
He said a mixture of work
from carving, painting to kapa
haka and rap will be on display
as part of Youth Week, “communicating
everything under the
sun.”
“Art has no boundaries, that
is the thing we want to communicate.”
Programmes Te Kaupapa
Whakaora in Papanui, Te Kupenga
o Aranui, Linwood’s
Kimihia Adventure Programme,
Hornby’s Tumanako Alternative
Education and Sydenham’s 180
Degrees Alternative Education
have been working together for
several years.
Mr Tiatia said the ongoing
stigma against alternative education
is “frustrating.”
“The big monster called
mainstream education doesn’t
fit for all young people in
Aotearoa.
“That’s why the poor kids rock
up to the space and all of a sudden
it is stigmatised . . . unfortunately
the more it is spoken of
and the more it is heard, young
people just end up believing it,”
he said.
But Mr Tiatia said the reality
is if students come to one of
the providers they will “feel the
love” and a “sense of whanau.”
He said alternative education
students have often faced issues
including anxiety, home issues
or gaps in their learning which

will be conveyed in their art

“We take every young person
who comes through the door
with all the stuff they bring and
we carry them in order to educate
them,” Mr Tiatia said.
The biggest lesson Mr Tiatia
learnt during his time on Survivor,
which he takes to alternative
education, is “life is precious and
life can’t be taken for granted.”
“That struggle I had for two
whole months, imagine what
these young people go through”.

The club helped organised the
concert which raised the funds,
which were then administered
by the Canterbury
Medical Research Foundation.
During her trip Mrs
O’Donoghue visited
both Copenhagen
and Kolding in
Denmark, where
fathers are paid
to take time off
work to support
their infant
babies.
In England,
Mrs
O’Donoghue
visited Plymouth, where the
intensive care neo-natal unit
has 18 beds, compared to 11 in
Christchurch.
The practice there is not to
separate mothers and children.
In all specialist units, both
overseas and within New Zealand,
the practice has moved
from infant babies being located
behind glass where mothers had
limited direct involvement with
their babies, to encouragement
for mothers and families to be
involved in all aspects of the stay.

Fendalton centre lands
starting role with Rams
SPORTS
• By Jacob Page
MAX DARLING is the epitome
of what the Canterbury Rams
are in 2018.
Young, hungry and eager to
prove themselves.
The former Christ’s College
pupil, who is based in Fendalton,
is still coming to terms with
his starting
role for the
franchise.
The Rams
had two wins
over the weekend
against
the Nelson
Giants, 104-
Mark Dickel
90, and Super
City Rangers,
98-83, putting
them at the top of the table with
four wins and one loss
“It was quite a shock to find
out that I’d have this role,” Darling
said.
“I was expecting 10-15min a
game but this has been something
new.”
The talented 18-year-old transferred
from Nelson College to
Christ’s for his final year of
secondary school in
2017.
He praised Rams coach
Mark Dickel as being the
main reason for the
move.
“He’s had a big
impact on me and
still does obviously.”
Darling’s role
as a 192cm
forward is to
rebound and
protect the
basket.
That’s no
small task
considering
the vast experience
other
teams
have
with
former Tall
Blacks’ Alex Pledger
and Dillon Boucher
just two names
matched-up against
Darling.
“Going up against
Alex Pledger like I
did last week made
me nervous when I
thought about it, but once you
get into the game, you’re often
BIG MAN: Canterbury
Rams teenager Max
Darling is proving to
be a sensation for the
youthful team.
too focussed to think
about it,” Darling
said. The Rams
are in the hunt for
the top four and
Darling says that is
the goal.
“We are a young
team but we all
get on great,” he
said.
“To make the
play-offs would
be a great effort.”
Darling is
eager to test his
talents offshore
and said there
was interest in him
from colleges in the
United States which
are looking to get
him to commit to a
scholarship, although
nothing has been
confirmed.
The Rams return
home to Cowles
Stadium to play the
Taranaki Mountain Airs on
Saturday.
PAPANUI softballer Jackson
Watt has had a breakthrough
year.
The 20-year-old former
Christchurch Boys’ High pupil
has plenty to celebrate having
been selected to make his Black
Sox debut later this year and
being named Canterbury men’s
softball player of the year.
Watt has been in the sport
since he started playing teeball at
the age of four, and has played all
of his games for Papanui.
The right-fielder, who bats
clean-up, has been at the top of
the home run and runs batted
in statistics but chose to deflect
praise onto his teammates.
“Hitting home runs is always
great but you want to be productive
at the plate and it’s a credit
to the guys in front of me in the
line up for getting on base and,
fortunately, I’ve had a few good
swings and been able to score
them,” he said.
Watt also pitches occasionally
for his club team and is motivated
to ensure he gives back to
a sport which has given him so
much.
“I’ve been part of a great club
and Canterbury Softball has
invested a lot in me, so I want to
make sure I make the most of
every opportunity.”
Watt, who also plays premier
softball with his brother Nathan,
says to be selected for the Black
Sox is a real thrill.
NOR’WEST NEWS
Up-and-coming Papanui
slugger makes Black Sox
IMPACT: Jackson Watt will
make his Black Sox debut
later this year.
“To be part of a team which
has such a big legacy and to play
with some of the experienced
legends.”
The Black Sox, currently
ranked No 1 in the world, will
play Japan (2), Argentina (3),
United States (6), Czech Republic
(7), Denmark (11) and Botswana
(12) in the five-day Intercontinental
Cup series in Prague from
August 28 to September 1.

West End theatre
company stops off
at St Margaret’s
Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi
NOR’WEST NEWS
AN international performance
company which has featured
on Broadway and the West End
has visited St Margaret’s College
to run a workshop with
students.
The Stomp company has
performed globally for the past
26 years, using eight performers
and an array of ordinary, every
day objects, such as lighters, bin
lids and even kitchen sinks, to
create music.
As part of a middle school
music unit, year 8 students at St
Margaret’s have been learning
about percussion instruments
using recycled objects.
A cast from Stomp ran a
workshop with the students as
well as performing a snippet
of their act for years 4-10
students.
The group performed seven
shows at Issac Theatre Royal last
week.
Said performing arts
teacher Rachel Wilford: “Their
energy and enthusiasm was
catching and the girls enjoyed
their visit, particularly the
hands-on workshop where the
girls were able to improvise
rhythms and work with their
props such as brooms and
sticks.”
It is the second time the Stomp
company has performed in New
Zealand, following a sell-out visit
in 2013.
ON STAGE: (Left) – St Margaret’s
College year 8 students Lauren
Warne, Cass Causer, Isabella

students used every day objects,
such as brooms and sticks, as props.
Shirley students take in the old world
SCHOOLS
LEARNING HOLIDAY:
Students from Shirley
Boys’ High School and Villa
Maria College visiting the
Colesseum in Rome.
STUDENTS FROM Shirley Boys’
High School have just come back
from a European adventure over
the holidays.
They travelled to Greece and
Italy with students from Villa
Maria College as part of their
classics tour.
The tour began in Athens,
Greece, and went to classical
sites including the buildings on
the Acropolis, the Temple of
Hephaestus, and the old Greek
Agora.
“The traditional Greek dancing
night was very entertaining,
as was witnessing the students
haggling in the Plaka market
area. From Athens we went south
to the Peloponnese, and visited
the towns of Corinth, Nafplio,
Sparta, Mystras and Olympia,”
Villa Maria teacher in charge of
classical studies, Simone Bailey,
said.
From Greece, the group travelled
to Italy, basing themselves
in Sorrento.
The students, along with
the parents and teachers
accompanying the group, visited
the preserved city of Pompeii, a
UNESCO world heritage site, to
experience how the Romans lived
during the first century.
In Rome, the group visited
many different classical sites,
including the Colosseum, Roman
Forum, Ara Pacis Augustae,
Trajan’s Column, and the
Pantheon.
“A visit to the Vatican
museums, the Sistine Chapel and
St Peter’s Basilica was an aweinspiring
time for students,” said
Miss Bailey. A “highlight” of the
trip was being part of the papal
general audience in St Peter’s
Square, she said.
“As a Catholic school, it was
an amazing opportunity for
students to see and listen to
the pope, and to see him on his
famous pope-mobile. He spoke
of peace and unity in the world,
and blessed us and our families,”
Miss Bailey said.
The occasion would be treasured
by the students for a long
time, she said.

Redwood Primary embraces sign language
Every day use earns award
• By Sophie Cornish
REDWOOD PRIMARY School
has won the New Zealand
Sign Language schools’ award
for its efforts to incorporate
the language into its school
curriculum and daily life.
The pupils and teachers use
sign language each day, which is
one of three official New Zealand
languages used at the school.
The others are English and
Maori. The school uses sign
language as a result of the work
of staff members and deaf pupil
Courtney Burcher.
Two staff members travelled
to Parliament to attend the New
Zealand Sign Language ceremony
and recieve the award.
Principal John Stackhouse said
he was very proud. Many of the
pupils who have begun to learn
sign language can now chat with
Courtney and sign to her.
“Courtney and her family have
opened up new learning and
understanding for us as a school.
The work done by those who have
taught Courtney is amazing, but
also the way the rest of the staff,
our pupils and some parents are
picking up sign language – it has
been fantastic.”
Mr Stackhouse said a large
body of reliable research shows
that, if children can learn
other languages, it brings better
outcomes for them in all their
learning.
The school aims to continue
to strengthen its use of sign language
further.

TWO YEAR 7 Cobham
Intermeadiate pupils have
collected unwanted items from

learning programme.
As part of their inquiry
learning, Sarah Crook and Mia
Chee-Quill had to do something
to demonstrate how they had the
power to make changes in the
world they live in.
The two girls decided to help
the Salvation Army by collecting
unwanted clothes, shoes, toys and
books from the their classmates
and teachers and held a schoolwide
competition to see which
room could collect the most
items.
The winners were given prizes
sponsored by The Warehouse.

TWO PUPILS from Waimairi
School got the opportunity
to ride in a 1956 Buick after
winning a raffle at the school’s
fair, which raised $41,000.
As part of the Ministry of
Education’s Christchurch
schools’ rebuild programme,
the school is receiving earthquake
repairs and upgrades.
The money raised from the
school fair will go towards new
landscaping and playgrounds.
“The fair was successful in
creating an opportunity to
bring the community together,
whilst supporting the school
with its upcoming redevelopment,”
said principal Mike
Anderson.
Prizes from the raffles
included a flight in a Garden
City helicopter over the school,
a ride in a police car, a ride to
school in a Blackwell’s Holden
HSV and a ride in the Buick.
The pupils were heavily involved
with the fair by creating
items to sell, running games,
delivering flyers, making signs
and helping on the day.

SAS Club presents
The DnD DUO
THE DnD DUO (aka Dateless n
Desperate) entertains at the St
Albans Shirley Club this Saturday
night.
Made up of Jojo (vocals, guitar)
and Mark (vocals, electronic
drums), the Duo is a stripped back
version of popular DnD Showband
that is a regular act on the chartered
club circuit across the country.
As the DnD DUO, this quirky
lineup entertains with a wide cross
section of material. Country, Celtic,
classic Rock, Pop, Rock n Roll, with
a few one hit wonders thrown in for
good measure. Catch them this
Saturday. 7pm start.
And on Friday night there’s Super
Rugby action live with Crusaders v
Hurricanes from 7.35pm.
The Club Bistro has a tasty new
winter menu. With Mains priced
from as little as $14 through to $24,
the selection is affordable and
excellent value. The Bistro is open
Thursday, Friday and Saturday from
5pm to 8pm.
There’s also plenty of easy access,
off street parking or if you prefer,
leave the car at home - the Club
Shuttle is available Thursday, Friday
and Saturday evenings.
