Safer exit from shopping
centre awaiting final approval
• By Matt Slaughter
THE LONG-awaited removal of
the right turn out of Barrington
shopping centre onto Barrington
St is set to be completed by spring.
The details of the plan will
now go to the shopping centre’s
management for final approval.
Spreydon-Cashmere Community
Board chairwoman
Karolin Potter said pending that
approval, changes to parking
will also be made to improve visibility
for turning motorists and
those crossing the road.
As well as this, a traffic island
near the exit and entry will be
widened, she said.
The Spreydon-Cashmere Community
Board has been calling
for the dangerous turn to be cut
off to improve safety for road users
for about a decade.
Potter said the exit where the
right turn will be removed is frequented
by pedestrians, particularly
elderly people, who cross
the road to get to the shopping
centre, Spreydon Library and the
playground at Barrington Park.
Said Potter: “For pedestrians,
it’s always been really problematic
for people who are trying to get
across the road to the library
knowing that people have got
right-hand turns and left-hand
turns and they’re concentrating
on their turns rather than people
who may be walking.”
Work to remove the turn has
been delayed multiple times,
causing frustration for the community
board.
The project was anticipated to
start early this year and it was
originally hoped it would be
completed by May last year.
Potter said Spreydon residents
have been vocal about the
need for the right turn to be
removed for some time and they
will be relieved this will finally
happen.
“The Spreydon neighbourhood
network has been active on this
issue for at least four years.
“There’s an older community
around the Spreydon Library
and I think that they’ll be
very pleased about this,” she
said.
She said more will need to

be done to improve safety for

the right is removed and the
community board will discuss
this.

I am a Christchurch based, self-taught artist painting semi-abstract
landscapes that are earthy and textural. My paintings are inspired
by New Zealand landscape, particularly Central Otago, Mackenzie
Country and Canterbury.
My works are descriptive of landforms shaped by both natural
forces and man. Weathering, erosion and human activity lead to an
ever-changing terrain.
There is often a touch of both flora and water in my paintings that
allude to the idea of the land sustaining life.
The paintings have layers of colour and texture through
which I chisel, scrape, eliminate, add back and interact
with the painting to reveal the essence of a landscape.

Pupils tackle road safety
• By Matt Slaughter
ADDINGTON SCHOOL pupils
Jacob Wilkins-Mclay and Tessa
Cook will take matters into their
own hands to try and improve
pedestrian safety on Brougham St.
Since late last year, the school’s
board of trustees has been in
contact with the New Zealand
Transport Agency and city
council asking for ‘school’ signage
to be installed in the area
where pupils cross Brougham St,
in a bid to encourage motorists
to drive safer.
But board of trustees chairwoman
Jo Robertson said this
has not happened.
A city council spokeswoman
said Brougham St isn’t a council
road and referred questions
about it to NZTA. However, it
did not respond to questions
before publication.
Jacob and Tessa, who are
in year 6, will meet with
Wigram MP Megan Woods
and the Spreydon-Cashmere
Community Board in September
to ask for pedestrian safety
measures to be improved near
the school.
One of the school’s volunteers
has been working with the pupils
to research pedestrian safety issues
along Brougham St and help
them prepare for the meeting.
The speed limit along
Brougham St is 60km/h and
large trucks use it often.
Jacob said measures he wants
to raise as options at the meeting
include the installation of more
traffic islands.
Said Jacob: “I think this is a
good thing that should be done
because it’s very dangerous and
kids have been hurt there, so it
needs to be better.
Tessa said one of her friends
was hit by a car when crossing
Brougham St to get to school
when a motorist ran a red
light.
She wants more to be done

to encourage motorists to stop
at the traffic lights near the
Brougham St entrance.
“People should just, instead of
rushing over the robot [traffic
lights], just stop at it because it
was put there for a reason and it
isn’t just there for show,” Tessa
said.

They are now both in the national

“It’s such a huge honour to have

Product to reduce plastic waste
• By Bea Gooding
AS MILLIONS of plastic bottles
make their way into landfills and
natural environments, six young
entrepreneurs have come up with
a bubbly way to tackle the issue.
The year 13 young enterprise
students at Villa Maria College
will soon release Eliminate – an
effervescent disinfectant tablet
for water bottles in a bid to encourage
families to reduce their
single-use plastic waste.
Charlotte Restieaux, of
Halswell, said the project, with
Hannah Shallcrass, Kaitlin
Willetts, Ella McHerron, of
Beckenham, and Ella Dolan, was
aimed at “busy people” who often
reached for single-use bottles
instead of cleaning the one they
already had.
“We realised a lot of us are
busy and we don’t often have
enough time to properly clean
our drink bottles,” she said.
“We recognised the issue of
single-use bottles and how convenient
it was to chuck it out and
get another one.”
She said the process was simple
– by placing the tablet in a bottle
with water, which will “fizz” and
disinfect the inside, followed by
rinsing.
The homemade tablets
comprised of common bacteriakilling
cleaning agents including

hydrogen peroxide and baking
soda which will also be suitable
for reusable bottles.
Charlotte and her team believed
it will provide a convenient
way to clean on-the-go, reducing
the chances of purchasing a new
bottle.
Even though plastic bottles
could be recycled, at most, only
30 per cent of which was eventually
recycled in New Zealand.
With a portion of waste winding
up in waterways and beaches,
the group were committed to
donating 10 per cent of profits to
the Sustainable Coastlines charity.
Said Charlotte: “A lot of

clean up the beaches, so we felt
that our mission aligns with
theirs.”
The project was part of the nationwide
Lion Foundation Young
Enterprise Scheme, which the
group took part in through the
school’s business studies class.
“We want to make people
aware of the amount of plastics
going into our world and about
the major problems climate
change,” said Charlotte.
Eliminate was now in
production, she said, which was
due to be released this week.
Wildlife to benefit from
glass clean-up in river
GLASS THOUGHT to have
been released from a waterside
walkway since the Canterbury
earthquakes could pose a threat
to recreational water users
and bird life, Avon-Heathcote
Estuary Ihutai Trust manager
Tanya Jenkins says.
Volunteers have removed
many kilograms of glass from
alongside the lower Heathcote/
Opawaho River but significant
deposits of the often small, but
still-sharp, rubbish remain just
below the surface, she said.
The glass appeared to have
come from under a riverside
path. The issue had been raised
with trust board members and
the next step was to talk with the
city council, she said.
“It is littered with tiny, little
pieces of glass. There is a lot in
an area that is used by families
and children, it could be a safety
issue, and birds can be easily
cut.”
Another two big buckets of
glass, four bags of rubbish and
small pieces of plastic, were collected
from the area this month
by volunteers from neighbouring
Ferrymead business Chiptech.
The business has adopted a
100m stretch of the river as part
of the trust’s drive to encourage

nearby businesses to regularly
tend to the waterways that discharge
into the Avon-Heathcote
estuary.
Chiptech product manager
Abby Moore said the team
of eight was surprised at the
“phenomenal” amount of
glass found beside such a small
section of river just above the
bridge.
The worth of their work hit
home when Jenkins described
how a hector’s dolphin died
nearby after a plastic bottle top
got stuck in its blow hole, and
how shags struggled to dive and
feed after ingesting polystyrene,
she said.
Chiptech staff would continue
to clean the stretch of riverside
once a month, she said.
Jenkins said Ferrymead
Mitre10 staff adoped the nearby
Charlesworth Wetland reserve a
few years ago, which had “made a
tremendous difference.”
The trust was keen to hear
from other businesses interested
in adopting a section of
waterway. Jenkins will help with
their first clean-up, and provide
the equipment needed.

for selling our home. He’s not just a face on a bus. His communication throughout
our campaign was excellent, as was his honest and professional advice. We were in
safe hands from the moment we signed him as our agent, right through to handing
over the keys. We were singing his praises prior to auction day and then, wow!
Auction day was fantastic and it was great to see him and the auction team work.

Selwyn House - Where Girls Thrive
Selwyn House is an all girls’ school for
Years 1 to 8, with a focus on developing
inquiring and empathetic minds and
building strong knowledge foundations so
that our students will face the future with
the skills and confidence to be empowered
global citizens.
We prepare our students for the
challenges and opportunities they will
encounter using the latest technological
tools within a creative and nurturing
environment. With access to the best
modern facilities and outstanding teachers,
our students learn to think creatively, work
collaboratively and to approach each new
challenge with a can-do attitude. They are
problem-solvers and powerful thinkers -
attributes that are needed and valued in the
future workforce.
A key ingredient of the education at
Selwyn House School is the International
Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme
(PYP), which is recognised globally as
a future-focused curriculum based on
intercultural understanding and respect.
The PYP focus is on the total growth
of the developing child, encompassing
intellectual, social, physical, emotional,
spiritual and cultural needs. We use
structured, purposeful inquiry as the
vehicle for learning, and our goal is to
develop an understanding in our students
that they can make a difference to their
world.
Selwyn House School has a culture of
academic achievement and consequently
our students perform significantly higher
than the international student cohort.
Learning in the core subjects of English,
Maths and Science is complemented by the
range of specialist subjects we
offer, including Mechatronics,
Robotics, Artificial Intelligence,
Performing Arts, Music, Physical
Education, Visual Art
and Spanish - each
taught by dedicated
specialist teachers
who are able to impart
their knowledge
and passion to our
students.
Small class sizes
ensure learning is
personalised and
teachers are able to build strong
connections with each child and
provide clear learning strategies
so that students are enabled to take control
of their learning, self-regulate, and develop
self-efficacy.
Choose Selwyn House to give your
daughter the education which will allow
her leadership and personal strengths to
blossom, and allow us to help her become a
confident and informed individual, eager to
take her part in the world.

about sharing what makes this school
stand out from the crowd. Discover our

FOCUS ON HEALTH
1 in 2 people
deficient in B12
Emerging research has shown as many as 50% of older adults and
as many as 25% of younger adults are deficient in vitamin B12.
BIRDS OF THE ESTUARY
SOUTHERN VIEW
Scientists at Rush University Medical
Center found those most deficient
in vitamin B12 to have the smallest
brain mass and the lowest scores on
tests measuring short-term memory,
concentration and brain performance.
Another study showed that older people
with higher levels of B12 in their blood
have bigger, healthier brains and score
higher on cognitive tests than those with
lower levels. Yet another recent landmark
study showed that B12 supplementation
slows the accelerated rate of brain
shrinkage and declining cognitive
function. B12 is essential for energy
production, cell health, regulation of
mood and sleep cycles, nerve health and
repair, and prevention of homocysteine
a serious cardiovascular risk factor
that is known to cause damage and
plaque in the blood vessels. It can also
increase the chances of a stroke. Harvard
researchers found
a 34% decrease
risk of vision
loss in a study
of participants
aged 40+ who
supplemented with
B12. Another study
linked a higher risk of hearing loss in
subjects in their 60’s who were low in B12.
The reason so many people lack B12
appears to be our body’s ability to absorb
it declining with age as the digestive
system becomes less efficient. Anti-reflux
medication and other drugs further
reduce B12 absorption. The good news
is B12 in the form of Methylcobalamin
sublingual tablets that are dissolved in the
mouth and thru bypassing the digestive
tract have been shown to effectively raise
B12 levels in the body.

Therapy, 101 Seaview Road, New
Brighton, Phone: 388-5757 We are
always happy to help!
IS YOUR BRAIN SHRINKING?
Brain fog, forgetful, feeling old, low energy,
mood swings, difficulty sleeping, pins & needles,
numbness in legs
Up to 1 in 2 people may have a shrinking
brain due to a lack of vitamin B12.
Supplementation of methylcobalamin B12
has been shown to reduce the rate of
brain shrinkage & support memory & brain
function. B12 is also known to protect against
homocysteine a serious cardiovascular risk
factor that can also damage the hearing,
eyesight & affect the mood. B12 is essential
for energy, cell health & nerve function.

shrinking

Elegant white-faced

A TALL and elegant bird,
the white-faced heron is
actually quite new to New

This heron species
introduced themselves
in the 1940s and are now
commonly seen in our
estuary, McCormacks Bay,
Charlesworth Wetland,
Linwood canal, Bexley and
even on sports fields and
paddocks – but only
after heavy rain, as they
prefer to search for their
Tanya Jenkins is the manager of the Avon-Heathcote
Estuary Ihutai Trust, a non-profit organisation

most important coastal wetlands. Each week she
introduces a new bird found in the estuary. Her
column aims to raise the understanding of the values
and uniqueness of the area.
food while wading in
shallow water.
They are awesome birds
to observe while they stand
patiently.
Without moving as
much as a feather, they
wait for prey to be within
sight to then at lightning
speed grab either a small
fish, crab, worm, mouse,
lizard or frog.
Lizards and frogs are
more common around the
estuary than most people
are aware of.

How can we help these
birds thrive? Keep dogs
on the lead when walking
near the estuary as to not
disturb them while feeding
or resting.
