Dangerous
intersection
to get safety
upgrades
ONE OF the city’s most
dangerous intersections will be
altered to improve its safety.
The intersection of Ilam, Middleton
and Riccarton roads is
notoriously tricky to navigate
because of the off-set alignment
of the three busy roads.
Because of this, the city council
agreed to modify how traffic
flowed through the intersection
and the nearby area.
“The intersection of Ilam,
Middleton and Riccarton roads
is ranked as the seventh most dangerous
intersection in Christchurch
and has been the scene of far
too many accidents,’’ said councillor
Mike Davidson, who chairs the
city council’s Urban Development
and Transport Committee.
“The changes we have approved
should make the intersection
safer for all road users and lead to
fewer crashes occurring there.’’
The changes involve:
– Only allowing left-turning
traffic to move between
Riccarton Road and Middleton
Road, which will effectively
make the junction of Ilam and
Riccarton roads a T-intersection.
– Altering the layout of the
intersection to accommodate
dedicated bus lanes.
Restricting access at the Field
Terrace/Riccarton Road
intersection to left in, left out
traffic.
– Creating a new right-turnonly
lane from Riccarton Road
into Wharenui Road.
The cost of the changes is
estimated at $1.3 million but the
project should qualify for a Waka
Kotahi NZ Transport Agency
subsidy of at least 51 per cent.
Cr Davidson said while the
local community board has
reservations about altering the
flow of traffic between Ilam
and Middleton roads, transport
engineers believe it is the best
way to improve safety.
“Because of the shape and size
of this intersection, the options
for improving its safety are
limited,’’ Cr Davidson said.
UPGRADES: The dangerous intersection at Ilam, Riccarton and Middleton roads will soon get a
much-needed safety improvement.

Biodiversity to get a boost
from new wetland
A NEW wetland that will improve the
water quality at the Halswell River is
almost complete.
Since the Covid-19 lockdown,
contractors have been able to complete
the final earthworks for the wetland at
Ahuriri Lagoon which flows into the
Halswell River.
Final works, completed last week,
included the removal of a temporary
earthen dam between the culvert exiting
the wetland and the main channel
of the river.
This connected the wetland with the
river, making it fully operational.
Netting installed to protect plants
from being uprooted by pūkeko before
becoming established is still in place
but will be removed in the coming
weeks.
An Environment Canterbury
spokesman said: “Low rainfall this
year has left low water levels in Ahuriri
Lagoon and flow in the Halswell
River, but when rain returns, the wetland
will be seen in its full glory.”
The wetland will work as a natural
filter for the Halswell River which has
degraded water quality.
Water leaves the main branch of the
river and flows through part of the
original channel, passing alongside
the Little River Rail Trail in a section
newly planted with native seedlings,
BOOST: The new wetland constructed near the Halswell River is now
fully operational and ready to increase biodiversity in the area.
before entering the top of the wetland.
“There it meanders through an area
containing more than 80,000 aquatic
plants that act as a filter to remove nitrates
and other contaminants, before
rejoining the river.”
The Whakaora Te Ahuriri project,
which is being run by the city council,
Selwyn District Council, Environment
Canterbury, Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu
and Department of Conservation
started in July 2018.
The $3.5 million project is funded
by the Government’s Freshwater
Improvement Fund, Environment
Canterbury and NIWA.

Remembering past times
at Oaklands School
• By Kim Thomas
DIANE CARSON taught at
Oaklands School in its early
years and worked in the long red
‘Canterbury’ brick classrooms
that housed most of its pupils.
More than 50 years later, Mrs
Carson’s granddaughters Emma
and Esther Vincent attend the
school and the two original brick
blocks are being completely
overhauled for a new generation
of learners.
Mrs Carson, who was known
as Mrs Jellyman during her time
at the school, said it was lovely to
see some of the school’s history
retained in the form of the red
bricks.
“I have photos of the staff outside
the brick block classrooms
and have good memories of
teaching there. I started in 1966,
which is the year the school
opened, and worked there for five
years,” she said.
“During that time there were
about 700 students at the school.
We had classes with 37, 38, 39
children in them each at their
own desk. There were a lot of
children because a lot of people
were moving to the area.”
The brick Canterbury blocks
MEMORIES: Former Oaklands School teacher Diane Carson with
her granddaughters Emma (left) and Esther Vincent outside the
original brick block buildings.
are being refurbished as part of
the school’s $5-million-plus redevelopment.
Principal Margaret Trotter
said refurbishment of the two
Canterbury brick blocks was the
last major construction project of
the school’s redevelopment.
The red bricks would be retained
but the rest of the building
would be modern, she said.
The construction of three
new buildings – to house the
administration, a library and
flexible learning space, and an
extended junior school - finished
last year.
“It will be exciting to
finish the last big piece of the
redevelopment puzzle and
enjoy the finished product.
We have been very lucky that
our redevelopment has run to
schedule and look forward to
celebrating the milestone when
it is all complete.”
Rotary helps create
community space
ROTARY CLUBS across the city
have joined forces to develop a
dedicated garden and market
space for the community to enjoy.
The overgrown pocket of land
will be developed on the grounds
of disability service provider Hohepa
Canterbury and was made
possible by the Rotary Clubs of
Riccarton, Hornby, Papanui,
Cashmere and Christchurch
Sunrise.
The area became overrun
and unusable following the
earthquakes, therefore Hohepa
Canterbury decided to construct
a pathway and reflection garden –
but was struggling with funding.
Said the Rotary Club of Riccarton
president Greg Cayford:
“We will be sharing with, and
working alongside residents, day
community members, parents
and staff who may choose to
engage with the project.
“This project is highlighting
that there are many connections
already established between Rotary
clubs, individual members
and with Hohepa Canterbury.”
Hohepa Canterbury in Cashmere
provides support to 130
special needs children and adults
with an intellectual disability to
live fully engaged lives.
They offer diverse living
options, learning and activity
programs, community participation,
and therapies inspired
by anthroposophy – a holistic
philosophy encompassing the
planet, the people and spiritual
essence.
One of anthroposophy’s key
teachings is that physical wellbeing
is enhanced by creating
physical environments for work
and living that provide a positive
experience.
Aside from providing the campus
with a “welcoming, visually
appealing streetscape,” the stream
boundary was integral to the wellbeing
of the Hohepa community.
The area’s mature trees will
be enhanced by green space and
plantings, providing a natural
area for reflection.
The gathering space will host activities
such as market stalls selling
Hohepa farm goods and seasonal
activities such as carol singing.
“As meetings have been
held between Rotary representatives
and the Hohepa team, it
has become clear that there are
further enhancements we can
develop together as the project
progresses and nears completion,”
said Mr Cayford.

Veterinary practice
A few SPECIALISED services
you may not know about…
1. CHEMOTHERAPY
The past 12 months has seen our Practice treat many
cancer patients with Chemotherapy. We have an
experienced, dedicated team of vets and nurses who
really connect with these patients and their owners.
We see referrals from other Practices and we can
offer sound advice, deliverance of care and ongoing
support for these patients. We often seek the advice
from specialists when formulating the appropriate
plans and drugs to be used.
Kirsty and Mauger sharing the love, after
Mauger was in for chemotherapy to treat
his Mast Cell Tumour.
Chemotherapy in pets is not as aggressive as in
humans, therefore the side effects are less. We aim for
“Quality of Life” versus squeezing every minute out
of living. We do aim for “complete clinical remission”
though. Most tumours are removed initially or
debulked and then chemo is used to reduce the risk of
spread of cancer to other sites. We do not have access
to radiation therapy in Christchurch.
Side effects ( nausea, vomiting, lethargy, fever,
diarrhoea, anorexia) can occur, but are not as severe
as in humans as doses given are lower. We manage
these with medications or reducing the next chemo
drug dosage.
Pets can still enjoy their normal foods and exercise
whilst on chemotherapy. There are a few exceptions
though. If your pet’s White Blood cell count gets
too low, then avoid high density dog areas so
disease transmission is low. Raw food diets are not
advised during chemotherapy due to an increased
risk of infection if the pet’s immune system comes
compromised. It is thought a premium diet, higher in
protein and fat/lower in carbohydrate are preferred
and fish oil has been talked about.
Pets DON’T lose hair like humans. After surgical clipping,
hair regrowth can be slow but it will grow back.
There is no risk to the owner of a pet receiving
chemotherapy, although pregnant women should not
handle any chemotherapy medications that are to be
given at home.
Our Vet Kirsty does the lion share of Chemotherapy in
the Practice. She has a dedicated, experienced nursing
team and these patients are all typically scheduled
on one day. Blood work is initially done to check they
are fit and healthy for their chemo drugs, then they
are injected slowly via an IV line or given orally. No
sedation drugs are usually required. It is quick, easy
and painless for your pet. Kirsty is really passionate
about helping your pet seek cancer remission whilst
enjoying a full, great quality of life. She is with you
every step of the way, answering your questions,
especially when big decisions need to be made.
2. SURGICAL REFERRALS
We are now able to offer a surgical referral service
thanks to Dr Helen Milner (a registered specialist in
Small Animal Surgery)
coming on board
recently. Helen sees
referral patients from
all over the South
Island where they are
typically booked for a
1 hours consultation,
with surgery then
scheduled if required.
We have built a
dedicated sterile
surgery and theatre
area to cope with this

specialist.

surgical workload and have purchased the necessary
specialised equipment so that spinal, orthopaedic,
soft tissue, and thoracic surgery can proceed without
a hitch. We also can organise patients to have CT/
MRI scans, prior to surgery, through Pacific Radiology
if necessary. Spinal ( CSF) taps are also carried out if
deemed necessary for spinal/intracranial patients.
Your vet needs to refer your pet to Helen for her expert
opinion and surgical expertise.
3. ENDOSCOPY
This is a great, non invasive service which allows
us vets to have a good look down airways into the
lungs (can even go up nostrils) and down or up the
gastrointestinal tract. We have just purchased a smaller
scope to visualise the urinary system in dogs and can
get into smaller airways.
Catherine and Kirsty seen here manoevering
the endoscope to retrieve the scrunches from
Floyd’s stomach.
The patient is required to be under anaesthetic but
the procedure is fast and often effective at getting
a diagnosis, biopsying tissue or retrieving “foreign
bodies” which is most
fun. Recently “Floyd”, a 4
month old Labradoodle
was endoscoped late
one afternoon for
eating “scrunchie” hair
ties, with 6 ended up
being retrieved via
the endoscope. Very
satisfying, quick and less
expensive compared to The retrieved scrunchie
exploratory surgery.
4. RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY
Our new vet “ Terryne Loney” is an expert in the field
of dentistry, so coupled with vet Olivia who enjoys all
things in the teeth and gum department, we are able
to handle most dental problems and emergencies.
Our state of the
art dental suite
is fully equipped
with 2 dental
stations, allowing
scaling, polishing
and extractions
to be performed
on 2 patients at
the same time.
Digital dental
radiographs are
very important Terryne, our new vet.
when deciding
what teeth need extracting, checking for cancers and
root infections and congenital tooth abnormalities.
We now have the veterinary skills and equipment to
perform restorative dental care including root canal
surgery and offering alternatives to extraction in teeth
that are important to retain.
For any further information on the above services
please don’t hesitate to call or message us.

Funding boost sought for
community organisations
A FINANCIAL boost
to help community
organisations cope with
the challenges of the
Covid-19 crisis is proposed
in the city council’s draft

Charity in
need of
donations
• By Bea Gooding
THE BLANKET Bank is in need
of donations following increased
demand due to Covid-19.
The charity has set up a givealittle
page to make up the shortfall
of warm bedding they provided to
vulnerable families across the city.
Due to the pandemic, usual
donations of used bedding was
“much more difficult” to process
therefore monetary donations
were much preferred.
Charity co-ordinator Martha
Baxendell said compared to this
time last year, demand was higher
than normal, reflecting job security
in families.
“We started the givealittle
because we’ve had fewer donations
over the lockdown that we couldn’t
accept and it (donations) was
incredibly low at this time of year,”
she said.
Donations had already been
made, meaning the charity only
had to turn away one person,
instead of many.
The funds will be used to purchase
new blankets, duvet, sheets
and other warm items.
Donations can be made to The
Blanket Bank at: https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/blanket-bank
Author draws on own bullying experience
THE THIRD and final book
in a series about bullying by
Christchurch cartoonist and
writer, Alex Hallatt, is set to hit
bookshops later this month.
Hallatt’s inspiration for the
books came from her time at
primary school in England.
“When I was bullied at school,
it was one of the most miserable
periods of my life. I wrote the
books I would have liked to have
read back then. They are stories
that give hope and tools for
standing up to bullying,” Hallatt
said.
But bullying is still a problem
in New Zealand schools. A 2019
Education Review Office study
reported that 47 per cent of
primary students had been bullied,
while 61 per cent of primary
students had witnessed bullying
of others.
Hallatt’s newest book, FAB
Club 3 - The Big Match, follows
on from Friends Against Bullying
(FAB) Club and FAB Club 2 -
Friends Against Cyberbullying.
The first book’s theme was
general bullying at school and
the second book’s theme was
online and phone bullying.
For the third book, it was time
for Hallatt to turn her attention
to sport.
“Playing sport can be fun, but
not if you never get picked for
the team. And what if the team
you do get picked for has the
world’s worst coach? A coach
who is useless, or worse: a bully,”
the book’s description reads.
And not only does it relate to
the subject of bullying among
children; but as all of us have
witnessed recently, some of
the worst bullying comes from
adults who use their positions of
power badly.
“Even if they are lucky enough

never to have been bullied, most
people would prefer a world in
which the bullies don’t come out
on top in the end. The FAB Club
series is that world and one we
can aspire to be in.”

this unsettling time Church Corner Nest would like to

Ground moisture barrier
under low sub-floor
Now with the colder and wetter weather on
its way, home owners are focusing on ways
to make their homes comfortable, warm
and healthy for their families throughout
winter. Rising damp is an issue that affects
many of our older properties which suffer
from poor, or no, ground moisture barrier.
In Canterbury especially, post-quake, many
people have relocated to homes that suffer
from rising damp which can be associated
with health problems. Independent tests have
shown that up to 40 litres of water can rise
from the ground and enter a house every day,
leading to mildew, mould, condensation and
musty smells. Moulds can produce various
allergic reactions and the frail, elderly and
very young are especially vulnerable.
Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a
locally owned and operated firm. The team
understands the problems caused by rising
damp and are there to help. They will come
to your damp home and pump a lightweight,
flowable foam concrete under your timber
floored home.
While insulation is important, it has been
recognised that it is dampness that is the real
villain in the house. The new Healthy Homes
Standards introduced by the government
effective from the 1st July 2019 now has
a requirement to install ground moisture
barriers, a key element in the armory to fight
moisture in the home.
Dr Larry Bellamy BE (hons) PhD in a
report dated 1988: Foam Concrete Under
Timber Floors: An Energy Analysis assessed
the effects of placing Foam Concrete over
damp soil and had this to say: Condensation
on the underside of a timber floor can occur
where the floor is suspended over damp
ground and the inside air temperature falls
close to the crawl space air temperature.
Much energy is required to vaporize moisture
that penetrates the structure. By avoiding
underfloor condensation, foam concrete can
reduce floor heat losses by up to 90%.
• Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd can in most
cases, install a Ground Moisture Barrier
under the suspended wooden floor of your
home, even when there is no crawl space.

Zone Control for your
ducted heat pump
Ducted heat pumps are a highly efficient
way to heat (or cool) your home. The
air from the heat pump is ducted to
several rooms or zones in your house.
Using a zone control system makes your
ducted heat pump even more efficient, by
specifying the amount of heat required
in each area, so not wasting energy to
overheat or overcool any room.
The AirTouch4 zone control system
from Smooth-Air takes ducted heat pump
air zoning to a whole new level of comfort
and energy efficiency.
AirTouch4 - The Ultimate Zone
Control
Have total control of your comfort zone:
AirTouch4 lets everyone enjoy a different
level of conditioned air in the room they
are in.
Save money on the power
bill, without compromising on
comfort, by only running the
heating or cooling where you
need it with Smart Zoning.
Plus with runtime tracking,
energy and airflow management
technology, you can enjoy greater
efficiency and savings from your
family’s ducted heat pump.

The AirTouch4 can
%
also
connect to Google Home and
Amazon Alexa.
Not every home is designed
equal. Not every room is either.
Temperatures can often fluctuate from
one room to the next because of sunlight,
room activity or other factors.
With AirTouch4’s Individual
Temperature Control Technology (ITC),
the AirTouch monitors temperatures
and smartly adjusts airflow as needed
around your home with the aid of multiple
wireless temperature sensors instead of a
single sensor in one location. When some
rooms get too hot or cold, the AirTouch
will adjust airflow to maintain your desired
temperature, without wasting conditioned
air on rooms already comfortable.

zone control.
