Debate rages over safety of
birds near proposed pathway
• By Matt Slaughter
THE CHRISTCHURCH 360
Trail group says birdlife will not
be harmed if a pathway is built
along the western edge of the
Avon-Heathcote Ihutai Estuary.
This is based on the final draft
of a Boffa Miskell report commissioned
by the city council
that says: “Actual levels of
disturbance to birds as a result
of the pathway constitute very
low, low or moderate ecological
magnitudes of effect.
“Opportunities to avoid and
minimise these effects are available.”
The Christchurch 360 Trail
is 135km so far and includes
walking tracks around the city’s
radius. The section beside the
estuary is one of the last needed
to complete the trail.
Christchurch 360 Trail chairwoman
Judith Millar said the
pathway proposal includes measures
which will protect birds
from threats such as pedestrians,
cyclists and dogs.
However, Avon Heathcote
Estuary Ihutai Trust chairman
Kit Doudney said the trust “absolutely
refute that.”
The trust and Redcliffs Residents
Association are concerned
building the pathway in the
proposed area beside the Bromley
Oxidation Ponds will put
godwits and about 100 other bird
species which use the estuary in
jeopardy.
Mr Doudney believes the
pathway proposal goes against
the estuary’s status as part of the
East Asian-Australasian Flyway,
which is supposed to protect
birds that use it.
He wants the pathway built
further away from the estuary
and the city council is investigating
this option.

Trail chairwoman
Judith Millar says

But Mrs Millar said the
current proposal includes
measures to stop birds from
being harmed.

Attitudes and Lattitudes
“As an American down under for more than 37 years, I realise I have
become addicted to the Southern Latitudes and the continuously
changing landscape of New Zealand. The bounteous flora, fauna,
landscape and weather provide a rich smorgasbord of images, never
static.”
“My painting process usually begins with a single object. Following
several preparatory sketches. I then start the process of adding other
images, as well as fabricated bits and pieces. It is the unforgiving
aspect of watercolour painting and the flexibility of moving three
dimensional components around on the surface that excites me.
Using a combination of fabricated tromp l’oeil paper objects and
the underlying painted surface, I hope to create work that is both
completely familiar and yet new again. Like life itself, each work
resonates with both the story and history associated with some objects,
and the imagined potential of others.”
This exhibition is John’s fourth at Little River Gallery. His passions in
life clearly drive the content of his art. Fishing, observing birds and
weather, nostalgic collections, conservation, typography and word
play are skillfully rendered and arranged with the designer’s eye. It is
difficult to appreciate the three dimensionality of John’s work without
the work before you. We love the appreciative sounds coming from
the gallery as the observer realises the extra dimension and life like
qualities John manages to achieve with paper.

Council considering safety
improvements for Tennyson St
• By Matt Slaughter
THE CITY council is
considering widening traffic
islands on Tennyson St to
address pedestrian safety
concerns.
Star News reported last month
a member of the public illegally
painted a pedestrian crossing
after a schoolgirl was hit by
a cyclist on an e-bike while
negotiating a traffic island near
the Tennyson and Norwood Sts
intersection. The crossing has
since been removed.
In May 2018, a boy also suffered
a broken leg after he was hit
by a car at the same intersection.
Beckenham Neighbourhood
Association chairman Greg Millier
said its members want the city
council to widen the traffic island
closest to the intersection where
the e-bike accident happened.
Said city council transport
operations manager Steffan
Thomas: “Widening of the
islands is currently under consideration
as a means to improve
pedestrian safety.
“Design investigations are
currently under way to develop a
proposal to improve pedestrian

safety.”
Beckenham Te Kura o Pūroto
principal Sandy Hastings said:
“Needless to say the school is
concerned and the board [of
trustees] are concerned, as are
other schools and early child
areas in the area.”
Said Mr Miller: “A significant
part of the Beckenham School
community does cross that road
on the way to and from school and
really it’s crucial in terms of safety.
“There are quite a few [traffic
islands] there [Tennyson St] at the
moment and they’re just so small
and the visibility is not that great.

corner, if you stand there on the
footpath trying to look out for
traffic to see if there’s anything
coming when you want to get
across to the traffic island, you
can’t really see and just because
of parked cars and things you
can’t actually see much,” he said.
Mr Miller said he understands
city council staff has to make a
number of considerations before
going ahead with safety improvements
like widening traffic islands
but said it is important something
is done to keep school pupils safer.
He said in spite of the high
cost, ideally, he would like the

city council to consider installing
traffic lights closer to the
Norwood St end of Tennyson St
in the future.
“I think in the short term, we
would definitely like to see something
provide some safe crossing
points there and the that’s with
a view to greater improvements
down the track,” said Mr Miller.
However, Mr Thomas said:
“It would be difficult to justify
the signalisation of this
intersection due to the residential
nature of the area, relatively low
traffic demand, and, compared
to other intersections, there’s a
low crash risk.”

Protection to be introduced
• From page 1
“The [city] council is investigating
mitigation procedures to deal
with the issues that the estuary
trust people raised and we agree
that there should be measures.
We think there should be screening,
we think that a low barbed
wire between the trail and the
pond [estuary] levee is all that’s
necessary.”
Said city council head of parks
Andrew Rutledge: “The pathway
would be flanked by a security
fence several metres to the
pond side of the path, and screen
planting along the estuary
shore. Planting along most of
the estuary shore already
exists; the project is to provide
screening of most of the remaining
gaps.”
Mr Rutledge said additional
protective measures, which
may also be considered include
“educational signage promoting
the site values, dog exclusion
signage, regular monitoring
of compliance, track closure
at certain times” and “vehicle
barriers at entry points.”
Mr Doudney said these measures
won’t work and birds will
suffer.
“Since last winter, we’ve got
new data from a student who was

disturbance. There will be a massive
impact.”
Mr Doudney believes the
360 Trail group’s members are
avoiding meeting with the trust
so they don’t have to acknowledge
its concerns. He said the trail
group most recently pulled out of
a meeting on February 17.
Said Mrs Millar: “That is not
accurate.
“It was decided that a meeting
with them [the trust] when their
opinion was so entrenched was
not necessarily going to be helpful,
given that there is a process
under way, which the council has
outlined.”
FITNESS: People have until March 11 to decide their favourite
option for a dog agility area in Radley Park, Woolston.
Dog park feedback sought
• By Matt Slaughter
EVERY PERSON and their dog
is being asked for feedback on
the layout of a dog agility area in
Woolston.
The public has until March 11
to tell the city council which of
the two options being proposed
for Radley Park they prefer.
The first option is for the creation
of two new exercise areas,
one for medium to large dogs
and one for small dogs. A new
plant bed and tree for shade have
also been proposed as part of
this option.
Option two is proposing two
new exercise areas, one for medium
to large dogs and one for
small dogs, three new plant beds
providing separation between
the two areas and three new
trees for shade.
Fencing around the new dog
agility area, with two double
gates for access, will also be installed
if this option chosen.
Funding for the fence will
be requested through the city
council’s 2021-2031 Long Term
Plan and installed when funding
is available if option two is
selected.
The Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community Board will
consider all the feedback given
and will approve the prefered
option.
The dog agility equipment will
be installed by July.

Meeting to discuss board priorities
• By Matt Slaughter
THE PUBLIC can have a say on
the priorities for the Spreydon-
Cashmere Community Board
for the first time.
The city council is publicly
consulting on the community
board’s three-year plan and
people have until Monday to
give their thoughts on it on the
city council’s Have Your Say
page online.
A meeting for people to ask
questions to the board about its
priorities will be held tomorrow
from 5.30pm to 7pm at South
Library.
The board’s priorities within
this plan are to promote the
installation of traffic lights at the
intersection of Cashmere, Hoon
Hay and Worsleys Rds, remove
the Barrington Mall Barrington
St entrance/exit and improve
road safety and travel efficiency
on Dyers Pass, Hackthorne and
Cashmere Rds, particularly at
intersections.
The board’s other priorities
are to upgrade the toilets,
changing rooms and sports storage
at Hoon Hay Park, activate
Hoon Hay Community Centre,
plan for an adult playground
somewhere in the Spreydon-
Cashmere Wards and promote
the progression of the cycle
network through these wards.
Board chairwoman Karolin
Potter said the priorities put
forward for feedback have two
key aims; making roads safer
and improving facilities to bring
the community together.
Said Ms Potter: “It’s very
definitely safety issues first and
then it’s community. Even the
Hoon Hay toilets, it sounds very
pedestrian, they are disgusting
and there’s no room for changing
in there. This is about being
able to get more people on that
park doing more things.”
Ms Potter is particularly
excited about the prospect of an
adult playground if people are
supportive of this.
“One of the big issues in our
ward is loneliness.”
She said it will be great and
“if we could get a destination
that was free like the Margaret
Mahy playground but only for
adults.”
The playground could include
fitness equipment like rowing
machines and fun things like
a bucket swing and a flying

Bid to upgrade
school
playground
• By Matt Slaughter
A PROPOSAL for a new
playground at Addington School
has been outlined.
The school’s board of trustees
chairwoman Jo Robertson
presented this to the Spreydon-
Cashmere Community Board. It
is hoped a new playground may
address concerns about the lack of
safe play spaces in the area.
Said Addington School acting
principal Donna Buchanan:
“We believe our school is in the
heart of the community, and by
redeveloping our playground we
would bring a sense of belonging,
a place for people to gather, to
enjoy and spend time together.
“We’re looking at an inclusive
playground so students with
special needs and families of
students with sensory needs
would also be able to be a part of
playing in their community,” she
said.
Meanwhile, the community
board has requested city council
staff advice on the safety of parks
in the Addington area, including
Addington Park and whether
their design complies with the
principles of crime prevention.

Performer’s dream role in dark play
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
THE OPPORTUNITY to
perform in arguably one of the
most critically successful plays
of the 20th century isn’t one that
comes along often.
That is why Amy Straker from
Woolston jumped at the chance
to play the complex character
of Stella Kowalski in American
playwright Tennessee Williams’
moving masterpiece A Streetcar
Named Desire.
The play is running until
March 14 at The Court Theatre.
It is famous for its exploration of
the struggle women faced in the
1940s to control their future -
along with domestic brutality.
From the moment Straker
saw a low budget version of the
show nearly 17 years ago in the
city, she was drawn to the role of
Stella.
But it was when she saw her
favourite actress Morgana
O’Reilly play Stella in the Silo
Theatre season of the production
in Auckland in 2017, she was
inspired to play the role.
“The stuff I am really drawn to
about her is her amazing ability
to see the good in people and to
find the light in life, I think she
is an essential part of the show,”
she said.
But Straker said Stella is also a
product of her own environment
and is trapped in many ways
in how she is dependent on her
husband Stanley.
The story centres around
Blanche DuBois, played by Claire
Dougan, who arrives in New
Orleans after the fall of her family
home, desperate for a place to
stay.
Her sister Stella takes her in
but tensions flare as Stella’s husband
keeps a brooding eye on his
new sister-in-law.
Straker said it was also the
sisterly connection between
Blanche and Stella that drew her
in more than anything and Dougan
is like a big sister to her.
For a long time, she has been a
favourite for major productions
in the city.
Her talent has seen her perform
in numerous productions
in New Zealand, Australia and
London over the last 13 years
and is the co-creator of Cubbin
Theatre Company.

But she described taking part
in That Bloody Woman, which
debuted at the Christchurch
Arts Festival in 2015, as a “gamechanger”
in her career.
“In the way that I work and my
partner Cameron and I got together
on that show and we now
have a little girl called Poppy, it
literally changed my life”.

Cumnor Tce
one-way
proposal
A PROPOSED plan to make
a section of Cumnor Tce in
Woolston one-way to allow for a
footpath is open for community
feedback.
People have until Monday to
share their views on the proposal
online through the city council’s
Have Your Say page.
The section between Chapmans
Rd and Maunsell St is part of the
Heathcote Expressway Major
Cycle Route.
Another section, between
Maunsell St and Marshall St, is
already one-way heading north.
The proposed change to the
already approved cycleway design
will allow for the retention of the
footpath on the non-cycleway
side of the road, improving pedestrian
and road safety.
It will also ensure there is no
impact on the Heathcote River
following concerns over any potential
effect on the freshwater
habitat, with a narrower road not
encroaching on the river environment.
The cycleway connects
Heathcote with the central
city via Woolston, Opawa and
Phillipstown. The first section
between the central city and The
Tannery is open.

Halswell
Ward City
councillor
Anne
Galloway
writes about
the lack of
awareness
some drivers have when
driving in residential areas
WITH THE school year under
way, I thought it timely to
remind people to be aware that
there is an influx of children
walking, biking and scootering
around the streets and to be
mindful of them.
An email I recently received
highlighted the concerns many
residents have about the lack of
awareness displayed by some
drivers in the Halswell area.
The writer described numerous
instances of vehicles travelling at
speeds of close to 100km/h in a
50km/h area.
They described the weekends
being particularly bad as quiet
suburban streets were used as
shortcuts to other areas in
Halswell.
Likewise, I am often appalled
by the speed that our fellow
residents drive. There seems to
be a total disregard for those who
may be out and about particularly
children and the elderly.
And we wonder why parents
don’t let their children bike, walk
or scooter to school.
Our city council is focused on
getting 40km/h speed restrictions
in our suburbs and I am
particularly motivated to work
with our local schools to get kids
actively involved in educating
the community about what must
change for them to feel safe.
The city council in partnership
with the police, SADD, and The
Court Theatre also takes driver
education seriously and this year
have produced an impactful
exciting multi-media show Crash
Bash-What’s the Rush?
It will tour secondary schools
over the next few weeks and well
worth a look if you get a chance.
Alongside education, there
must also be enforcement. And
this is where the police must step
up.
One thing we all can do (if you
are able) is to record the number
plate of the speeding car, phone
105 – a police reporting line for
non-emergency and report them.
If enough people do this the
police will respond by targeting
the area.
However, the single most effective
way to ensure safer streets is
for us all to make the conscious
decision to slow down.
Better to be a few minutes
late for work than to face years
of regret because you’ve caused
injury to a child or an elderly
person.
Myra Barry responds to
last week’s article on
Lynette King’s battle to
get her family members’
headstones fixed in Bromley
Cemetery
I FEEL FOR Mrs King and visit
our family graves regularly.
Periodically, the cemetery is a
mess with weeds and other tall
stalks overtaking everywhere.
One day I saw a distressed lady
not far from where I was and on
talking with her found that she
was upset because of the weeds
and so on.
The front entrance is always tidy,
however, the fallen headstones
throughout the cemetery make
me very sad and wishing that
something could be done about
them.
If you take a good look around,
you will see where the lawnmower
has caused damage to some
concrete curbings.
A few years back, I wanted to
put white crosses where there
was nothing but was told by the
council that I was not allowed to.
Perhaps we need to have, like
other cemeteries, a “friends of
Bromley” group that could look
into things?

Canty league players
earn national call-up
• By Jacob Page
SEVEN CANTERBURY rugby
league players have been named
in New Zealand Rugby League’s
16s and 18s squads for the
upcoming season.
Alesana Mailei and Mathew
Logopati from the Linwood
Keas, Dallas Hurrel-Jones
and Reupena Fialele from the
Halswell Hornets and Hornby’s
Felix Fa’atili have been named in
the 16s squad.
Linwood’s Ethan Faitaua and
Halswell’s Montel Peppard-
Peopaati have earned selection in
the 18s squad.
The wider squads were selected
from the NZRL talent development
camp trials that took place
in January.
The camp saw the NZRL bring
25 under 16s and 25 under 18s
as well as 48 aspiring Kiwi Ferns
into camp at St. Peters School,
Cambridge.
The performance camp was
designed for sub-elite players
to enhance skills, introduce
strength and conditioning and
promote education and player
welfare, encouraging those who
dream of playing in the NRL to
stay in New Zealand until they
are 18, allowing for an extra few
TALENT: Linwood’s Ethan Faitaua plays in a trial match last year.
years in familiar surroundings.
The NZRL are awaiting
confirmation on fixtures and
opponents for both teams but
they will likely play together in
October.
Felix was part of the New
Zealand 16s team last year and
is the younger brother of Caius,
who has also earned national
representative honours over the
past two seasons.
Both squads took on Warriors
age-group teams in January
before these official squads were
announced.
• By Jacob Page
VILLA MARIA netball player
Julia Wynands admits even she
is surprised by her latest
selection.
The 17-year-old, who
lives in Huntsbury, is
the only high school
player in the Mainland
Beko League team for
the upcoming season.
The year 13 student
said it was an unexpected
achievement to
start her year.
“I trialled with the team back
in October and made it through
and I’ve been training with them
since but to find out I made the
team was still a shock.
“It’s not something I expected
to achieve this year.
“When I look back and realise
how far I’ve come since I first
started playing in year 3, it’s quite
amazing.”
The goal defence/wing attack
was an integral part of the Villa
Maria team which finished third
at the South Island secondary
school title last September and
finished 14th at nationals a
month later.
She said she has tried to
increase her fitness levels ahead
SPORT
Wynands amazed
at netball selection
Julia Wynands
of her final school year and she
hoped this would help her ease
her into the next step of her
fledgling career,
The Beko League is
seen as a feeder competition
for the ANZ
Premiership and the
Mainland Tactix.
“At Villa we play
against women in the
Christchurch premier 2
competition so that will
help me make the adjustment
but obviously the
standard will be much
higher than what I am used to,”
she said.
Wynands said she was keen to
study psychology next year while
continuing to play netball and
she wanted to do it wearing red
and black.
“I’ve always loved the Mainland
environment and wearing
the red and black throughout the
age-groups so I hope that can
continue.
Her big goal was to play for the
Silver Ferns one day.
• The Netball Mainland
Beko team will play its first
National Netball League
match against Northern
Comets on Sunday April 5.

Feijoa season signals the end of summer
• By Ian Knott
It’s March already, and that
means the start of feijoa
season. Has there ever been
a more polarising fruit than
feijoas? Love them or hate
them, these green, oval
nuggets of floral tartness can
bring an extra dimension to
many sweet dishes
Feijoa and blueberry
shortcake crumble
Serves 12
Ingredients
2 cups peeled and chopped feijoas
1 punnet (125g) fresh blueberries
1 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp ground ginger
Crumble topping
¼ cup ground almonds
¼ cup flour
½ cup wholegrain oats
¼ cup soft brown sugar
50g butter, melted
Shortcake
100g butter, softened
½ cup sugar

sides of a 23cm square cake tin
with baking paper. Mix together
chopped feijoas, blueberries,
sugar and ground ginger and set
aside.
Prepare the crumble topping.
Put ground almonds, flour,
wholegrain oats and sugar into a
mixing bowl. Stir through melted
butter. Set aside.
Prepare the shortcake. Beat
together butter and sugar until
pale. Beat in the egg. Mix in flour
and baking powder to form a soft
dough. Press dough evenly into
the base of the prepared tin.
Spoon over the prepared fruit
to cover the base. Scatter over the
crumble mix.
Bake for 40-45min until top is
golden and base cooked. Leave
in the tin for 20min before
carefully lifting it out, with the
baking paper onto a cake rack to
cool. Serve cut into pieces with
yoghurt, ice-cream or cream.
Warm spiced feijoa
doughnuts
Makes about 14
Ingredients
1¼ cups plain, gluten-free flour
½ tsp baking powder (gf)
Pinch of salt
½ tsp each of ground cinnamon
and mixed spice
3 Tbsp caster sugar
1 egg
3 Tbsp milk
1 Tbsp melted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
5 medium feijoas, peeled and
diced into 1cm pieces
Vegetable oil
Cinnamon sugar
½ cup caster sugar
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
Directions
Put 5cm of vegetable oil in a
deep, medium-sized saucepan
and heat to 170 deg C on a sugar
thermometer or until a piece of
bread dropped into the oil turns
golden within 30sec.
Combine the sugar and
cinnamon in a shallow dish and set
aside for rolling cooked doughnuts.
Combine all the dry ingredients
in a large bowl. Whisk the egg,
milk, butter and the vanilla together
then stir into the flour along with
the feijoas until well combined.
Carefully drop tablespoons of
the batter into the pan and cook
for about 2min until a golden
colour and puffed, turning
to cook on all sides. Don’t
overcrowd the pan as the oil
temperature will drop rapidly and
the doughnuts will be heavy.
Remove with a slotted spoon
and drain on paper towels. Roll in
the cinnamon sugar then place on
a wire cooling rack in a 100 deg C
oven until all the doughnuts are
cooked. Eat immediately.

Staying well in an
unhealthy world
Viruses can make us very unwell and some
people may even die from them. However if
we keep ourselves as healthy as possible we can
greatly reduce the chances of becoming unwell.
The Wuhan coronavirus has spread fast and
does appear to be a particularly nasty virus, so
it makes sense to do what we can to improve
our health and immunity. I believe it is our
weakened immune system that is the real threat,
not a virus and if we restore and optimise our
immune system we will have a much better
chance of staying well.
Liquid Olive Leaf Extract (OLE) is the first
amazing natural product I would suggest.
OLE contains powerful compounds including
oleuropein that can destroy invading organisms
(viruses) directly while stopping viruses
replicating and causing disease. OLE can also
help rid the body of long term infections,
bacteria and fungi that are compromising our
immune system. It is also a super antioxidant
that can support stabilized blood sugar, blood
pressure and blood flow.
Researchers have shown Vitamin C to have
powerful antiviral activity against all types
of viruses and to support a healthy immune
system. In one well-controlled, randomized
study, just 200mg/day of vitamin C given to
the elderly resulted in 80% fewer deaths in the
vitamin C group. Dr. Robert F. Cathcart, who
has had extensive experience treating viral
diseases remarked, “I have not seen any flu yet
that was not cured or markedly ameliorated
by massive doses of vitamin C.” Frederick R.
Klenner, MD, chest specialist has said “Some
physicians would stand by and see their patients
die rather than use vitamin C”.
According to Dr. Thomas Levy’s clinical
opinion one gram of properly-produced
and orally-ingested liposomal vitamin C is
as or more effective than 5 to 10 grams of
intravenously given vitamin C. If you want
the best benefits and absorption this is the
way to go. However he also warns many of the
liposomal vitamin C’s he has tested are not true
liposomal products. He guarantees the LivOn
brand is a true liposomal product.
Vitamin D3, zinc and selenium are also vital in
sufficient amounts for a healthy immune system.
These are some of the most important
supplements but our natural health advisers
are always happy to discuss with you a suitable
protocol and other factors that affect the
immune system.
Further information on products, protocols
and correct dosage is available from the
natural health advisers at Marshall’s Health
& Natural Therapy, 101 Seaview Road, New
Brighton, PH: (03) 388-5757 – We are always
