Heavy trucks using short cut

frustrate Avonhead residents

• By Anan Zaki

MORE RESIDENTS have had

enough of big trucks rumbling

past their front doors.

Avonhead people have now

joined the ever-growing queue

of people wanting the city

council to do something about

the issue.

Residents say since the

closure of the Avonhead and

Russley Rd intersection in

November 2015, heavy vehicles

are taking short cuts from

Roydvale Ave, Hawthornden Rd

and Cutts Rd.

Hawthornden Rd resident Jon

Leadbeater said the increased

heavy vehicles made the area

unsafe.

“I’m worried about the safety of

the pedestrians and the children

in the area because it’s a narrow

road.”

It follows on from residents

in Fendalton and Wigram also

voicing opposition to heavy

vehicles going through residential

areas.

Lady Wigram Retirement Village

residents on Lodestar Ave

complained about heavy traffic

last year.

Fendalton residents last month

lost their bid to ban heavy vehicles

from the Glandovey and Idris Rd

intersection.

SAFETY CONCERNS: Hawthornden Rd resident Jon Leadbeater believes heavy vehicles are using the route as a short cut since

the closure of the Avonhead and Russley Rd intersection.

YOU HAVE to sympathise with residents

having to deal with big trucks rumbling

past their homes (see page 1).

Christchurch is growing at a quick

rate. That means more people, more

housing, more cars and more trucks. The roads are becoming

increasingly congested. We’re nothing like Auckland but

nevertheless our roading network is busy.

It’s no surprise increasing numbers of motorists are seeking

a quicker route to get to where they are going, and that often

means away from the main arterials which grind to walking

pace at times.

Once quiet residential streets and roads are now busy.

The answer is not an easy one, but there is one guarantee: Big

trucks will continue to roll through more neighbourhoods.

Failed bid for alcohol bans

• By Ashleigh Monk

A BID to impose alcohol

restrictions in Elmwood Park,

Harewood’s Roto Kohatu

Reserve and McLeans Island has

failed.

Fendalton-

Waimairi-

Harewood

Community

Board deputy

chairman

Aaron

Sam

MacDonald

Aaron

Campbell

wanted a ban

after spending

time with

Crime Watch

Papanui. He

found signs

that people

had been

drinking and

littering in

Elmwood Park

in Merivale.

He wanted

the park, along

with Roto Kohatu Reserve and

McLeans Island, to be included

in the community board’s

alcohol ban bylaw submission to

the council.

But the community board

decided not to pursue the

matter.

NO BAN: A bid to extend an alcohol ban to areas including Elmwood Park has failed.

Board chairman Sam

MacDonald said there was no

official vote on the issue, but the

“general consensus” of the room

was clear.

“We all shared our views

and it was implied that the

majority were not in support of

the ban.”

He said if any issues from

those areas were brought up,

he would consider bringing the

issue back to the table.

“If they came to us and said

‘it’s not working, the parks

have been bad’ then obviously

we’d have a look at it. But no

one has really sparked up those

sites as an issue. It would have

to be brought up by police or

concerned locals that something

needs to be done. But at the

moment, it’s not there”

In spite of Mr Campbell

wanting the matter to be

pushed forward, he said he was

“satisfied” with the outcome.

“I did push the boat out a little

bit on this one, and raised the

issue of public safety, but I am

realistic,” he said.

“Each recommendation goes

through a process, and I’m happy

with the result.”

He said the board had agreed

there was some anti-social

behaviour in those areas, but

they were in the minority.

“The board agreed that

there are idiots out there, but

they’re in the 10th of the one

per cent.” But he said it was good

that the issue had been so “hotly

debated.”

“It’s been one of the most

involved and discussed items

recently. A lot of things just

sail through, but people have

paid a lot of money for things

like this to be debated. It’s our

responsibility.”

Bus-laning too important to rush

Papanui-Innes

Community

Board member

John Stringer

writes about

the bus priority

plans for Main

North Rd

PUBLIC submissions, reports

and plans are flowing on a

proposed city council “bus

priority” bus-only lane on Main

North Rd through Papanui

Village between Harewood

and Sawyers Arms Rds where

Northlands Shopping Centre is.

It’s part of a wider transportation

review matrix and forward

planning by the city council

alongside bus routing by

Enviroment Canterbury.

It’s one of the largest issues

to confront Papanui residents

recently, along with the downstream

impacts of the Cranford

St bypass and the New Zea;and

Transport Agency’s Christchurch

Northern Corridor.

The bus lane proposal has

attracted strong public opinion,

and at an August Papanui-Innes

Community Board meeting we

had a full public house and a very

thorough open meeting, which

was a healthy expression of city

democracy.

There was so much material to

discuss and so many questions,

and such strong public submissions,

that we’ve let the report

lay upon the table, and will come

back at it again for more. It was

simply too important to rush.

We are calling staff back for

more difficult for post-quake

buildings to achieve, considering

time pressures and financial constraints

of the re-build.”

•From page 1

Mr Leadbeater said heavy

vehicles cutting through Avonhead

should use a “main arterial”

such as Withells Rd.

“Windows are vibrating on

the houses in the morning, it’s

just not suitable for heavy traffic.

“There should be a limit put

on the weight of vehicles travelling

on Hawthornden and the

bottom of Avonhead Rd and

Roydvale Ave,” Mr Leadbeater

said.

The Avonhead Community

Group asked the Fendalton-

Waimairi-Harewood Community

Board in April last year to

restrict heavy vehicle usage on

the streets.

The board asked council staff

to investigate whether vehicles

weighing nine tonnes or greater

could be banned from taking

the route which beginning at

Roydvale Ave.

City council transport operations

manager Steffan Thomas

said that Roydvale Ave is a

collector road, and intended to

carry more heavy traffic than

local residential streets.

And for Hawthornden Rd, Mr

Thomas said staff has not considered

if heavy vehicles should

be restricted at the present time.

There is also no traffic count

data on the road, he said.

Trucks frustrate residents

Gavin Topp

Gail Ker

LOUD: A truck on

Hawthornden Rd.

The lack progress has frustrated

Mr Leadbeater.

“We were hoping that would

all get sorted out, but nothing

has happened.”

Waimairi Ward councillor

Raf Manji agreed with a heavy

vehicle restriction at Roydvale

Ave and Hawthornden Rd.

“It can be a frustrating for

elected members given we’re

taking feedback from the community,

but the way the traffic

operations work is they have to

do [traffic] counts and [they] tend

to determine what the policy

outcome is,” Cr Manji said.

The new Summerset

retirement village development

has added to the heavy vehicle

usage and the city council

needed to look at the issue again,

he said.

“I think that’s definitely a

more vulnerable area in terms

of the clash between residential

and heavy freight movements

for developments.”

The Subs to play Rockquest final

SCHOOLS

Christ’s band wins people’s vote

CHRIST’S College band

The Subs has kept its

Smokefreerockquest dream alive.

The band has been named

the people’s choice public vote

winner to book a spot in next

month’s national final.

The Subs won the regional final

in June but were not selected for

the national final after submitting

a video to judges.

However, the five-piece, poppunk

band rallied to gain the

support needed to win the people’s

choice vote and the last remaining

place in the top 10. The

Subs will now play in the final

on September 22 at the Dorothy

Winstone Centre, Auckland.

The band is made up of year 12

students Jono Stewart, vocals and

rhythm guitar; Zac Matson, bass;

Humphrey Bullen, lead guitar;

Matias Biraben-Clough, drums;

and Max Toth, keyboard and

synth.

Jono said the band is called

The Subs because it is made up of

“bench-warmers” from Run77 –

the winner of last year’s regional

Smokefreerockquest final.

The Subs beat Run77 to claim

the regional final title this year.

“When I heard second and

third place read out, my heart

sank – I thought Run77 would

win . . . I thought we hadn’t made

it,” Jono said.

But he did admit the rivalry

was a “bit of a joke” between the

bands – they’re actually good

friends.

Jono said The Subs entered the

Smokefreerockquest last year but

didn’t even make it through the

heats.

TOP 10: The Subs won the people’s choice award to book a spot in the Smokefreerockquest final

in Auckland on September 22.

and St Martins schools took

out the Otago Daily Times

Extra! Canterbury quiz at

Cobham Intermediate on

Wednesday.

The winners of the year 5

and 6 quiz were Sam Atkinson,

11, Aran Cudmore, 10, and

Aaron Kwak, 10, with a score 90

out of 100.

Sam, who was part of the

victorious Fendalton team, said

it was the first time the trio had

won and it felt “pretty awesome”.

He was also proud of his teammates.

“It was probably Aaron’s

knowledge of everything that got

us the win,” Sam said.

The second and third-placed

teams finished neck and neck,

with Prebbleton School on 82

points and Avonhead School on

81 points.

Year 5 and 6 defending champions,

Medbury School, finished

sixth. The St Martins School trio

took out the year 7 and 8

quiz, and were elated after the

win. Dilkee Nanayokkara, Stella

Shields and Oliver Williams,

all 12, scored 94 points out of

100. Stella said her team was the

strongest in the world mapping

question. “We struggled on the

newspaper search and guess who

question,” Dilkee said.

It was the first time the three

pupils from St Martins had won

the competition.

Christchurch South

Intermediate finished second

on 88 points ahead of defending

champions Cobham Intermediate

which were

third on 83 points.

It was organiser Tricia Rowe’s

first time running the quiz.

“It’s been really exciting

and nerve-wracking. It’s been

challenging making sure the

questions were pitched at the

right level,” Mrs Rowe said.

Both quizzes attracted 237

pupils from across Canterbury.

They were run by the Otago

Family motivation for Invictus Games athlete

JULES BRAMLEY will proudly

represent her country in this

year’s Invictus Games Sydney

– and she’s doing it for her

children.

The games use the power of

sport to inspire recovery, support

rehabilitation and generate

understanding and respect for

wounded, injured or ill current

and former servicemen and

women.

Mrs Bramley, who is based at

the Burnham Military Camp,

is part of the 25-strong New

Zealand Defence team going to

the Games. Husband Brett and

children Austin, 12, and Jorja, 7,

will be there to cheer her on.

“That’s the main reason I’m

doing it – for them. I just want

to show them that even though I

am injured and I do have restrictions,

there are things out there

that I can still do, and I can still

do well.

“I can really train for it just as

much as you can for any other

sport. It’s really showing them

never to give up.

Mrs Bramley was an army

medic for 21 years, serving

in East Timor, Afghanistan,

and Samoa after the tsunami

there. Over the years she badly

injured her hips carrying heavy

equipment on her back and now

essentially has no cartilage left

in her hips, leaving her with

severely restricted movement in

one leg.

She’s still with the NZDF, as

a civilian training medics – a

move prompted by being unable

to achieve the required military

fitness due to her injuries.

“I haven’t been able to play

sport. I can’t run, so it’s really restricted

my life, really,” she said.

“The first time I got in the

chair and played a really hard

Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi

game of rugby, I walked off

feeling amazing – being able to

play a game again and being able

to play the full game and not

having to stop,” Mrs Bramley

said.

“I’ve been really restricted for

quite a long time and just having

the ability to show my kids that

I can get out there and do stuff,

even though it’s slightly adapted,

it’s a great feeling.”

still live there, competed in the

got their own story. No matter

what it is, everyone is there

to do the same thing, achieve

the same goals, whether it be

China.

She is a member of Hornby’s

Olympia Gymnastics Club,

which competed at the

tournament last month under

the guidance of coach Elena

Mesheryakova.

The club claimed eight

podium finishes against a top

international field from China,

Russia, Malaysia, Thailand, the

Philippines, Hong Kong, South

Korea and Ukraine.

Paris, who is in year 9, was

a standout performer against

vastly more experienced

gymnasts.

“Paris is one of New

Zealand’s top gymnasts, and

the prize money will help her

to achieve her goals to become

a top international performer,”

Mesheryakova said.

The tournament was organised

and hosted by well known

Chinese gymnast Ling Zhong,

who represented his country at

the 2004 Olympics in Athens. It

also featured many other famous

Olympians as special guests and

judges.

The Olympia squad returned

with medals in several different

age group categories for most of

their routines.

Ava Gearry from Oaklands

School and Lilly Eastmure from

Halswell School dominated

their age groups, winning

the freehand, ball and rope

competitions.

Ava won the freehand

competition ahead of Lilly. But

Lilly claimed gold in the ball

category with Ava in fourth. The

Oaklands pupil then got another

gold in the rope competition.

St Andrew’s College year 3

pupil Nika Meyn claimed gold

for Olympia in the freehand

section and bronze with the ball.

Jocelyn Cai from Oaklands

School completed Olympia’s

success in the freehand by taking

out silver, as well as a runner-up

medal in the hoop routine.

Eleasha Chan, a year 6 pupil

from Aidanfield Christian

School, took bronze in the

freehand and finished fourth

with her ribbon, while year

7 pupil Mikayla Chin from

Avonhead School claimed two

fourth places in the freehand

and rope sections.

The competition was

the second in Asia for the

Olympia squad this year after

a tournament in Osaka, Japan.

Mesheryakova said that the

importance of international

experience and exposure cannot

be underestimated.

“These tournaments are very

important for the girls progress

and development as well as

the valuable life and cultural

experiences they gain,” said

Mesheryakova, who used to

coach in Uzbekistan, her native

country.

“Rhythmic gymnastics is a

dynamic and compelling sport

for girls that challenges body

and mind.”

CHAMPIONS: St Andrew’s College secured the Whelan Trophy

last week with a 73-59 win over Rangi Ruru Girls’ School.

St Andrew’s girls

aim to cap off year

with nationals spot

• By Jacob Page

THE ST Andrew’s College girls

basketball team will be looking

to qualify for the national

secondary schools competition

when they take on the South

Island’s best in Invercargill this

week.

St Andrew’s finished fifth last

year at the South Island tournament

to qualify for nationals for

the first time.

Coach Sussan Graham hopes

they can do it again.

“Last year we finished third

in the Whelan Trophy, so from

that perspective, we’d like to

show what we can do.”

The team claimed the division

one Whelan Trophy final with

a 73-59 win over Rangi Ruru

Girls’ School last Tuesday.

It capped off a stellar campaign

for St Andrew’s. The team

lost just one game on their way

to the title in an ideal preparation

for the South Island tournament.

Graham said the team’s

made up of a mix of netballers,

triathletes and football players,

but they have formed a strong

bond.

“This team would be one

of the best in terms of how

much fun they have together”

she said.

“They enjoy the training and

everyone works hard for each

other on the court, whether

you’re a player who gets limited

minutes off the bench, or you’re

a starter.”

A lot rests on their talented

centre Charlotte Whittaker who

was the Whelan Trophy’s most

valuable player.

Graham is confident the team

have the ability to go further

than their 14th place at nationals

last year.

“Tournament netball is always

physically demanding so we will

try to manage that throughout

the week,” she said.

Talented darts

players aim high

at Shirley Boys

School crowns its first champion

SHIRLEY BOYS’ High

School has crowned its

first ever darts champion.

Year 13 student Matt

‘The Spin’ Kendall

outlasted year 9 rival

Lachie ‘Dagger’ Watson

three legs to one to become

the first ever school

champion.

The SBHS darts open

championship started with

48 entries from years 9-13,

with four ranked players

from the school’s Darts

Club.

Club members Kendall,

Ryan ‘Rhino’ James and

Lachie ‘Niuean Lightning’

Osakai-Wilson mixed

with other keen darts

enthusiasts at the school.

After six days of

competition, Kendall had

some revenge to extract on

Watson in the final after

he lost to him in the SBHS

premier league semi-final

last term.

Both players started

nervously, but it was

Kendall who took the first

leg. Watson came back in

the second with some high

scoring darts.

However, a short break

gave Kendall a chance

to improve his throwing

technique and he came out

with more purpose in the

second stanza to take the

next two legs.

The school introduced

darts in 2014 with a

friendly teachers’ match

between SBHS old boy

and current director of

sport, Jamyn Keats, and

head of geography, Mike

Skinner.

At the start, about 10

students and a few staff

members would come into

the classroom for a bit of

banter and some fun darts.

Later on, Keats laid claim

to starting it all when

he scored the first 180 at

SBHS. Now Skinner has

eight 180s and Kendall has

14, and counting.

It all bodes well for

SBHS with its state-of-theart

new campus at QE II

Park set to include larger

spaces for darts. The new

campus will also be home

to Avonside Girls’ High

School.

Device to prevent

snoring

Why put up with broken sleep, when

help is at hand with Snorex, an appliance

that prevents snoring, sleep apnoea, and

dry and raw throats.

Snorex is custom-fitted to your mouth

for comfort, and a follow up service is

provided.

Denise Lim has been involved with

Snores for 22 years

and has had a 98%

success rate with

people using the

appliance. Snoring

can be a health

hazard, causing

sleep apnoea, where

the person actually

stops breathing for

short periods.

It can cause

short-term memory

loss, tiredness and

contribute to high

blood pressure.

The Snorex

device does not feel

restrictive, is noninvasive

and carries

a money-back guarantee.

Many people are referred by ear, nose

and throat specialists, however, anyone

can phone for an appointment.

REAL ESTATE

Immaculate by the park

116 McCormacks Bay Rd, Redcliffs

Auction: Thursday, 20 September 2018 Unless Sold Prior

Overlooking the expanse of

McCormacks Bay Reserve and close to the

coastline, this four-bedroom home offers

a tantalising combination of location,

lifestyle, comfort and convenience.

Designed with function and flexibility

in mind the floor plan hosts an open

plan living area and an adjoining formal

lounge, with the latter not only offering an

alternative retreat, but it can also be opened

to create one expansive entertaining space.

However, if your inclination is to unwind

outdoors, then there is an opening off

the dining area which extends out to the

courtyard and garden.

Contributing further appeal and

convenience to this already attractive

home, buyers have the option to negotiate

and purchase the property fully furnished

which would allow you to quite literally

move in and enjoy.

Four double bedrooms include a master

with a walk-in wardrobe, ensuite and

French doors that extend out to your own

private balcony. One bedroom is presently

used as an office allowing you to work

from home.

Benefiting from a north-facing aspect

that attracts abundant sunlight, the

interior enjoys the warmth and comfort

that’s offered by a gas fire and a heat pump

which guarantees a comfortable climate

throughout the year.

Situated over the road from the reserve

and a short drive from the vast selection of

cafes, restaurants, bars and shops in both

Redcliffs and Ferrymead. This property

is zoned for Redcliffs School and has easy

access to the sea, coastal pathway and

cycle tracks. Walk along to the Saturdays

farmers market and enjoy the lifestyle on

offer here.

Our owner has purchased in Australia

and is serious about selling. Don’t be slow,

it’s got to go!

Auction date Thursday 20 September

12:00pm (Grenadier House, 98

Moorhouse Ave) Unless Sold Prior

Open homes Wednesdays, Saturdays

and Sundays 1:00pm - 1:45pm.
