involved.
Now the 18-year-old Halswell

a World Vision ambassador
for his dedication to the

Speeding
buses
put pupils
in danger
• By Matt Slaughter
SPEEDING BUSES in Bromley
are putting school pupils in
danger.
Keighleys Rd resident and
Bromley School teacher Cathy
Baker said she has seen buses in
the area reach about 60km/h in
50km/h zones.
“They are pretty fast and we
have a lot of children on bikes and
scooters.”
She said options need to
considered to slow the buses
down, which is why residents are
set to meet with the Linwood-
Central-Heathcote Community
Board and city council staff today
at 5.30pm. Residents will also raise
the issue of buses travelling too
fast along Ruru Rd and Hay St,
near the Maces Rd bus depot.
Environment Canterbury,
which manages the Metro bus
service, will not be at the meeting.
However, ECan senior manager of
public transport Stewart Gibbon
said since 2016, it has received five
complaints about buses speeding
in the area.
“We are aware that some
residents have raised concerns
about the potential speed of heavy
vehicles in this area,” he said.

Path trialled to keep pupils safe
• By Matt Slaughter
AN INITIATIVE is being
trialled to reduce traffic outside
Aidanfield Christian School and
keep pupils safe.
A group of pupils want a
walking path built from the
school to the Nga Puna Wai
Sports Hub car park, where they
now get dropped off and picked
up in a bid to reduce congestion
outside the
school.
They have
been working
with Halswell
Ward city
councillor
Anne
Galloway to
Anne
Galloway
make the idea
a reality.
On Friday,
the pupils
took part in a supervised trial
walk along a marked out path
to gauge interest in the idea.
Cr Galloway said the trail
was carried out to decide if a
permanent pathway is needed.
She said getting to and from
the school can be dangerous for
both pedestrians and motorists.
“It’s a safety issue for
everybody,” she said.
“It’s a safety issue for the
parents trying to get in and out

of the school because the exits
and entrances to the school are
straight onto Aidanfield Drive.
Aidanfield Drive has become
a through-way for people from
Halswell Rd through to Wigram
Rd, so people speed along there.
“People from all over the city
drive to that school, so there’s
going to be an issue always with
cars unfortunately. It’s a very
congested area, it’s got lots of
entrances and exits. It’s quite a
complex situation.”
Cr Galloway said a pathway
from Nga Puna Wai to the
school could help to address
the safety
concerns
“That
could be an
opportunity
for that
dangerous
situation to
be remediated
along
Aidanfield
Drive.”
Principal
Mark Richardson said a

permanent pathway would get
vehicles off the road and pupils
moving.
“There’s a lot of traffic as
with any school, and it’s just
looking at providing parents
alternative ways of getting there
and particularly in the warmer
months. There are some great
opportunities to get out and
walk and be active,” he said.
“Anything that gets kids off
of screens and active is really
powerful as well.”
In Brief
ARMY EXERCISE
The New Zealand Defence Force
will be conducting an exercise
in the Port Hills area from today

Entertainer honoured with local hero award
• By Matt Slaughter
KATHLEEN HOOD has spent 40
years putting smiles on the faces of
Christchurch’s elderly.
The 86-year-old Halswell resident
entertains residents at Elmswood
Retirement Village and Middlepark
Rest Home and has previously
done so at The Princess Margaret
Hospital.
This volunteering work has
earned her a Kiwibank New Zealand
Local Hero of the Year Award,
which she and other Christchurch
local heroes will receive at a ceremony
on December 3.
Mrs Hood tells jokes, reads poetry
and runs a quiz each time she
visits retirement homes.
She said this brings joy to their
residents and the quizzes include
historic questions, which bring back
memories and often start nostalgic
conversations between them.
“It’s really good because the questions
I ask are relevant to their age
and their experiences in life. They
do really enjoy it.”
Mrs Hood said her favourite thing
about what she does and the reason
she has been doing it for so many
years is it brings happiness to people
who sometimes need it most.
“The best thing for me is giving
to these older people. Some of
them have had very lonely lives
and when they come into the rest
home they’re a wee bit nervous.
She said when she entertains
residents “there’s a lot of laughter, I
can even tell a few risque jokes and
they enjoy all that.”
Mrs Hood said not even health
issues were able to stop her volunteering
for long.
“I did have two challenges with
cancer but I have had surgery and
I’m really fine now, everything’s all
good.’’
She said she was back in front
of retirement home audiences “as
soon as I could get back behind the
wheel.”
Mrs Hood is proud to receive a
local hero award this year.
“I never ever expected it and
when it came everybody around
me, my family and my friends
were all saying well deserved. It’s
very humbling and it will be to be
among people who have done marvellous
things in the community on
the night of the awards.”
But Mrs Hood said winning
awards is not why she volunteers
her time.
“If you ask any volunteer, it’s not
for accolades or recognition, you
don’t do it for that, it’s just for the
love of doing it, I suppose.”
She hopes her efforts will inspire
her children, grandchildren and
great-grandchildren to volunteer in
their communities.

New deputy takes board reins

Mr Sampson said it was

decided his work last term was
good enough for him to step up
to the deputy chairman role.
“For me, it’s really good to be
recognised by your peers and
kind of recognise the work that
I’ve put in over the last three
years,” he said.
“I’m actually really, really
looking forward to working
with Karolin, because she’s an
experienced chair, and working
with the community for the next
three years.”
He said his work ethic and
willingness to help people in the
community no matter how large
or small their issues may be is
one reason he was elected to the
role.
“I’ve always been available for
the community. I’ve worked on a
number of issues, even if it’s just
service requests and I’ve always
done my best to deliver for the
community.”
Ms Potter is excited to start

Man with bow
and arrow
sought after
lamb shot
• By Jess Gibson
POLICE WANT to know
whether reports of a man seen
carrying a bow and arrow on
the Port Hills are linked to an
incident involving a lamb being
shot with a crossbow bolt.
Two people were driving
on Summit Rd near Godley
Head Park when they found a
lamb with an arrow through the
front of its body on October 23 –
it was euthanised the following
day.
Following the incident, the
SPCA launched an investigation
and has since received a call
from someone who has seen a
man in the area carrying a bow
and arrow.
An SPCA spokeswoman
said the caller reported having
seen the man on “a couple of
occasions,” most recently at the
beginning of September.
The SPCA’s inspectorate
alerted police to the complaints.
•If you have any
information to report
regarding the incident,
phone the SPCA on 349

Malawi visit next year
•From page 1
He also received the Greatest
Individual Impact Award, for
almost single-handedly raising
$14,000 for World Vision.
“These awards highlight my
passion to help, as well as the
huge amount of work that the
school has encouraged us to do
over the years to support World
Vision,” he said.
Said Izaac on raising the
$14,000: “I started to email
celebrities across the globe,
ranging from Graham Norton,
Ellen DeGeneres, multiple
different actors and celebrities
overseas and also many famous
New Zealanders.”
Izaac heard back from Prime
Minister Jacinda Ardern,
freestyle skier Nico Porteus, some
All Blacks and Kiwi artists.
From there, he had the idea to
host an art auction, which raised
$12,000. He then door-knocked
and approached family members,
which raised another $2000.
Next year, Izaac will travel to
Malawi with four other World
Vision ambassadors and see
where the funds from the 40hr
famine will go.
“This is a long way from home,
making it an exciting adventure
for myself and the other four
ambassadors going on the trip.
I feel excited but ready for the
challenge,” he said.
Once he returns from Malawi,
he will visit schools across
New Zealand to assist with
fundraising for World Vision,
and said one of his key goals is
to increase participation in the
famine across Christchurch.
“I feel so privileged and blessed
to be able to help World Vision
with its global work and to be
able to help it make a change is
something that will stick with me
forever,” he said.
HUMANITARIAN:
When Izaac
Wilson goes to
Malawi next year,
he will witness
first-hand the
work World
Vision does,
such as helping
communities
access clean
water.

Big future for young filmmakers
• By Claire Booker
FREYA CHAMPION had acted
in one short film before her
fellow Christchurch Girls’ High
School classmates recruited her
for their media studies project.
But last week her talents were
recognised at the Ara School
Shorts Screen Festival, where she
was named best actress.
The film Lured was made by
CGHS students Louise Kim and
Georgie Baddeley, who created it
in their media studies class.
Freya played the leading role of
Liz, a young woman investigating
the sudden disappearance of
her best friend.
Louise, who lives in
Halswell, wrote the
script for the film
after researching
pseudo-religion
and finding
out about
multiple
historic
cult-related
murders.
Lured
was one
of 19 films
showcased
at the
competition
final at
The Palms.
The short films
were screened
at Reading Cinemas.
Said Louise: “It was one of the
most exciting moments of my
life to have our film screened in
an actual cinema and having an
audience to watch it.”
Freya was surprised to take out
best actress, and said it was a real
honour.
Her passion for acting has
flourished over the past few
years as she has been involved
in theatre sports and small
productions.
“As I have only starred in one
other film, I wasn’t quite sure
what would tick the boxes for
the judges, so I was
pleasantly surprised to receive
the award,” she said. The 18-yearold
also has a passion for politics
and earlier this year attended the
Youth Parliament as the Youth
MP for Christchurch Central
Labour MP Duncan Webb.
Freya said the highlight of
being involved in the film was
working with her two best
friends. “Georgie and Louise had
a great vision for the film, and
because of our friendship, we
were able to easily communicate
ideas and this allowed us to film
in a good environment,” she said.
Next year, Freya, Georgie and
Louise will go their separate ways
to study, but will continue
to develop their skills and
passion in film.

Residents raise concerns
over speeding buses
•From page 1
Said Mr Gibbon: “Our
expectation is that drivers
operating Metro services drive
in a safe manner and comply
with all road rules.
“We understand the . . .
community board is considering
this issue currently. This is good
because if there is
an issue with the
speed of heavy
vehicles in the area,
the city council, as
the road controlling
authority, has the
ability to put in
place remedies.”
Go Bus South
Island regional
general manager
Ben Barlow could
not be reached for
comment on the
issue.
Linwood Ward city councillor
Yani Johanson said residents are
frustrated with the impact of
speeding buses.
“The complaint that residents
have had is that they’re [buses]
speeding and they’re causing a
lot of excessive vibrations and
they’re finding it really hard to
sleep at night. It’s quite often
early in the morning or late
at night. They’ve repeatedly
complained to ECan, Go Bus
Yani Johanson
and council, and they’re just not
satisfied that things have been
done.”
He said implementing heavy
vehicle restrictions on the
roads used by buses may be one
solution.
“We do need to put a heavy
vehicle restriction onto the
streets, and then before
that we need to also as a
community board write to
ECan just expressing our
concern.”
Said city council
operations transport
manager Steffan Thomas:
“[City council] staff do not
recommend heavy vehicle
restrictions for Hay St and
Ruru Rd because these
roads are intended to be
a through route linking
the arterial roads and
residential and industrial areas.
“Council is aware that some
residents may experience
vibrations when heavy vehicles
drive past. If problem locations
can be identified and reported
to council, staff can investigate
potential repairs to the road,” he
said.
Cr Johanson said bus drivers
should be encouraged to obey
the speed limit, particularly
when using streets near the
Maces Rd depot.

Farewell to St Anne’s
Reverend
of St Anne’s
Church in
St Martins
Ben Truman
writes about
the last
service at
the church
on November 3 after 97
years of being open
Anglicans started worshipping
in the suburb of St Martins 166
years ago in 1853.
This year, on November 3, 166
people showed up to farewell St
Anne’s Church.
God, it seems, has an eye for
detail.
St Anne’s Church sits on the
corner of Centaurus and Wilsons
Rds and has been part of
the community since 1922 with
various incarnations of buildings
over that time. The current
chapel building has been there
since 1959 and its distinctive
Rena Jarosewitach stained glass
cross since 1992.
In that time it has seen countless
baptisms, weddings, funerals,
dances, worship services,
and fairs as well as hosting
various community groups and
events.
There have certainly been
some interesting vicars at St
Anne’s. Reverend Simon Ballantyne
(1982-1998) performed
an annual stunt to advertise
the church fair including living
atop the belltower, being buried
alive, locking himself in a shipping
container, and sitting in
a BMW suspended by a crane.
Rev Michael Cocks (1964-
1970) dabbled in extra-sensory
perception. Reverends Chris
and Kate Carey-Smith hosted a
rafting competition in 2001 that
saw more than 70 rafts floating
down the Heathcote.
Unfortunately, numbers at
the church dwindled, and so in
2007, St Anne’s merged with the
neighbouring parish of Opawa.
It turned out to be a very useful
marriage because after the
earthquakes of 2011 St Mark’s
Opawa sustained significant
damage so the two congregations
have worshipped as one at
St Anne’s since then.
A decision has been made to
consolidate back to St Mark’s
Opawa. Repair work should
END OF AN ERA: After 97
years of being open, St
Anne’s Church in St Martins
had its last service on
November 3 before being
demolished.
start on St Mark’s in the new
year, and while the parish waits
for it to be completed, they will
be worshipping at St Mark’s
School in Cholmondeley Ave.
The designs for the repair of St
Mark’s Church includes a new
St Anne’s side chapel, which will
feature a number of the beautiful
items rescued from St Anne’s
including the altar and stained
glass window.
More details are on their website
www.opawastmartins.com
or on Facebook.
As for what is happening at St
Anne’s – it will be demolished,
along with the old vicarage next
door before the end of the year,
and we’ll let the new owners
share their story.
Young photographers praised
for capturing beauty of river
ZAC BOWIE has taken out
the top prize in The Ōpawaho
Heathcote River Network
photographic competition.
The West Spreydon School year
6 pupil won with his photos of
the Heathcote River. He received
a meal for two at the Gatherings
restaurant for his work.
The awards were presented
at a ceremony in the South
Library. The network organised
the event to mark World Rivers
Day and the photographs aimed
to highlight the beauty of the
Heathcote River.
The open division was a closely
fought contest, with the river and
its moods category shared by
Cora Scott and Raewyn Wright,
while Rātā Airey was highly
commended.
Corie James Hamilton won
the people and the river category
with his photo named Miss N
Swings, while Jonathon Harrod
was the runner-up.

dominated the prizes in the flora
and fauna category. Raewyn also
won the people’s choice award
which earned her a meal voucher
at restaurant and brewery The
Fermentist.
In the schools division, the
river, its shadows and radiancy
category was won by Charlotte
Cobley from West Spreydon
School, with Yasmin Thompson
from Heathcote Valley School
second and Max Eadie-Lilley,
also from West Spreydon School,
third.
Two pupils competed in the
photo essay category, with the
judges highlighting the excellent
clarity and composition of the
photos. Zac Bowie won the
section with his photo essay
on eels in the upper reaches
of the river. He set an eel trap
and composed each of his five
shots so they told a story about
native wildlife in the river. Zac’s
younger brother Duncan was the
runner-up.

Basketball’s best to play in all-star game
• By Jacob Page
THE BEST secondary school
basketball players in Canterbury
will get their chance to impress
in respective boys and girls
all-star games before the New
Zealand Breakers game at
Horncastle Arena next month.
Cashmere’s Tom Webley, Finn
Barclay, Louis Oskam and Oki
Tilaia will all compete in the
boys game.
The Breakers will host the
South East Melbourne Phoenix
on December 20.
The girls game will tip off at
2.10pm and the boys game will
tip off at 3.50pm followed by the
Breakers and Phoenix at 7.30pm.
The high school games come
after the Thomson and Whelan
Trophy season as well as strong
national campaigns where
Cashmere High School finished
fourth in the boys competition
and Christchurch Girls’ High
School finished eighth in the
girls’ grade.
Organiser, Joe Hammond said
the plan was to split the squads
into two even teams to produce
two even encounters.
He said squads were picked
by the top six high school boys
coaches and former Canterbury
Wildcats coach Lori McDaniel.
“It’s been a couple of years
since the game was held, but I
think it’s a great way to recognise
the effort and achievements of
the players throughout the season,”
Mr Hammond said.
There are also plans to

“The Breakers have said the
team will try to watch the concluding
stages of the games so
hopefully it will give the kids a
big buzz.’’
