6 Tuesday January 28 2020 Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz News NOR’WEST NEWS Proposal for faster speed on side streets surprises residents •From page 1 “You shouldn’t be allowed to go faster on the side streets . . . other suggestions were Riccarton Rd and the side streets should be 40km/h.” Dumplings on Riccarton owner Peter Wah, who will be making a submission on the proposal, Peter Wah questioned why the speed limit needed to be lowered when there will be no where for vehicles to stop on the street. “It is only going to cause more congestion.” He has previously raised concerns businesses on Riccarton Rd will lose all of its car parking following the completion of the road works. A city council spokeswoman • To take part in the RBK residents’ association’s survey go to https://docs. google.com/forms/d/e/1FA IpQLSecXD2Z9IPw0Dk1ITV p3ppDcgSzrMA45oR_C_1EN F9KP8lT1Q/viewform said when work is completed there will be time-restricted parking provided to the east of Rotherham St and south of Riccarton Rd. RBK residents’ association member Lyndon Telfer said he did not know why there was a proposal to lower the speed limit when the traffic on Riccarton Rd “hardly moves.” He said what was surprising was the 40km/h proposal for the side streets – which would allow the traffic to go faster than on Riccarton Rd if implemented. City council data showed as of June, on average 1472 vehicles were using Rimu St north and 1595 were using Rimu St south. Mr Telfer said he suspects the number of vehicles shortcutting side streets will increase significantly if the proposal goes ahead. As of June, 399 vehicles on average were using Rata St west and 804 vehicles were using Rata St east. Mr Telfer said normally about 1100 vehicles travels from Kauri St onto Rata St but there was a decrease when the Kauri St entrance was blocked off temporarily. He said the association is planning to ask the city council to permanently block off the Kauri St entrance into Rata St to decrease short-cutting vehicles. SKILLS: The Canterbury age-group beach volleyball team celebrate from the national provincial champs last week. Beach volleyballers in the medals • By Jacob Page CANTERBURY age-group beach volleyballers found plenty of success at the provincial championships at Mt Maunganui last week. Canterbury finished first and second in the under-17 girls category with St Andrews College’s Tineke Hinton and Burnside High School’s Taylah Holden claiming gold over Burnside’s Rosa Vesty and St Margaret’s’ Ella Ballantyne 21-14,-22-20. Ironically, both Taylah and Rosa have won South Island secondary school titles together and will be a strong chance of winning a national title together at the same location this weekend. Burnside High School coach Sam Ryburn said the success was down to a renewed commitment to the beach volleyball game in Canterbury. “It’s been a long time since we’ve had this kind of success,” he said. “I don’t think five years ago we would have sent a team. Lincoln High School’s Nia Surman and St Margaret’s’ Emily O’Connor finished fifth. The St Andrew’s duo of Marijke Hinton and Kate Allan combined to earn a bronze medal in the under-19 category. The duo beat fellow Canterbury combination Georgia Bonne of St Andrew’s College and Rosa Davidson of St Margaret’s College 21-14, 21-18. Janie Porter Art, landscape, seascape and birds have always filled Janie’s life. She painted and drew from when she was old enough to hold a pencil or brush. As a child she would watch the trees and sky through the schoolroom window when she should have been listening to the teacher. The rolling hills and countryside coloured her childhood in England, where she often spent time rescuing and nurturing birds that had fallen out of nests or had broken wings. Aged eight she saw Cornwall for the first time – the cliffs, the sea, the wheeling gulls took her breath away. Janie attended art school extramurally while still at high school. In her early twenties, travelling the hippie trail from London to Kathmandu 1 February - 3 March 2020 Main Rd, Little River | 03 325 1944 art@littlerivergallery.com she met and fell in love with a Kiwi. When she came with him to his home she fell in love again, this time with the taonga of New Zealand, the ocean, the native birds, the mountains and the wilderness. About twenty years ago her friend Galina Kim who was an art mentor to Janie encouraged her to start using a palette knife. She never looked back. Janie studied at the University of Fine Arts in Vietnam in 2005 and there she fused her use of palette knife and love of NZ landscape with layers and layers of pigment and lacquer. Now she lives on Banks Peninsula/ Horomaka and spends her days absorbing and painting the wonder and beauty of her surroundings. Observing and reflecting. Sea and birds and land. Walking, exploring, wondering at its beauty. Celebrating once again the incredible work of our conservationists.
