Arshaan meets cricket heroes<br />
YOUNG HALSWELL cricketer<br />
Arshaan Askari got up close and<br />
personal with some of his heroes.<br />
Arshaan, 8, got the chance to<br />
meet Black Caps captain Kane<br />
Williamson and Sri Lankan<br />
captain Dinesh Chandimal before<br />
day one of the Boxing Day test<br />
match at Hagley Oval.<br />
Arshaan won an ANZ<br />
competition to become the coin<br />
toss kid for the day’s play.<br />
He has been playing cricket<br />
for two years with the Halswell<br />
Hurricanes.<br />
Arshaan said it was awesome to<br />
meet Williamson and Chandimal.<br />
“I love playing cricket. I play<br />
after school and on the weekend.<br />
It was so cool meeting the captains<br />
and getting to be a part of the coin<br />
toss.”<br />
ANZ head of sponsorship Sue<br />
McGregor said Arshaan was one<br />
of 23 young cricketers selected to<br />
take part in the pre-match ritual<br />
this season.<br />
“We are delighted to bring together<br />
the next generation of cricketers<br />
and their heroes. At ANZ we<br />
believe it’s important to involve<br />
and encourage young cricketers,<br />
which is why we continue to support<br />
grassroots sports,” she said.<br />
“We hope that when they meet<br />
their idols out on the pitch, they<br />
are inspired to continue training<br />
hard and pursuing their dreams.”<br />

But the city council says it has<br />
no plans to install a permanent<br />
link for the two roads.<br />
Mr Keen said McMahon and<br />
Augustine Drives had parking<br />
bays, which meant greater room<br />
to cater for the increased traffic<br />
since the sports facility opened<br />
last year.<br />
Euphrasie Drive was not as<br />
wide, he said.<br />
City council manager capital<br />
delivery Darren Moses said<br />
there is currently a truck access<br />
between McMahon and Augustine<br />
Drives, but it only for<br />
heavy trucks on a “case-by-case<br />
basis.”<br />
“For major events, Nga Puna<br />
Wai will seek one off permission<br />
to use the McMahon entrance to<br />
help spread traffic,” he said.<br />
Mr Keen said the city council<br />
should seal the truck access.<br />
“Why don’t you [council] just<br />
make it easier for people? It just<br />
beggars belief.”<br />
“This is the formed [truck<br />
access] they had to form to build<br />

Mr Keen said planners overlooked<br />
the impact from traffic<br />
travelling from the Aidanfield<br />
Drive overbridge.<br />
“To build everything down the<br />
Halswell Rd end of Augustine<br />
Drive was short-sighted,” he<br />
said.<br />
“Does everybody come from<br />
that side of the city? No. So<br />
guess what? The traffic is going<br />
down Wigram Rd, coming up<br />
the Aidanfield Drive overbridge<br />
right through and they turn on<br />
Euphraise Drive, which is a very<br />
little street.”<br />
Mr Keen presented his concerns<br />
to the Halswell-Hornby-<br />
Riccarton Community Board<br />
last month.<br />
Board chairman Mike Mora<br />
referred it to city council staff for<br />
consideration.<br />
Mr Keen built a house on<br />
Euphrasie Drive, Aidanfield<br />
four years ago, after losing his<br />
St Albans home in the February<br />
22, 2011, earthquake.<br />
“We’ve been through enough,”<br />
he said.<br />
Beautifully presented by my fastidious vendor this standalone<br />
townhouse is a smart choice for those who want an easy-care property<br />
in a popular location.<br />
With spacious open plan living leading onto an enclosed conservatory<br />
you can entertain in comfort. The added benefit of a downstairs toilet is<br />
always a good plus to any property. With good indoor/outdoor flow from<br />
the conservatory area to an immaculate courtyard and garden. Enough<br />
to potter around in and perhaps grow some vegetables, but easy care<br />
enough that you can also have your weekends free to enjoy the many<br />
amenities the area offers.<br />
Two large double bedrooms upstairs along with a roomy bathroom<br />
complete the package this lovely home has on offer.<br />
A good sized single internal access garage keeps your car tucked away at<br />
night, along with off street parking as well. Secure fencing allows you to<br />
keep children or pets safe while outside.<br />
