Work to improve entrance 

to shopping centre starts 

• By Bea Gooding 

RESIDENTS WILL finally see 

action at a shopping centre entrance 

this week following more than a 

decade of concerns for the welfare of 

pedestrians accessing the area. 

Night works to improve pedestrian 

safety at the Barrington shopping 

centre entrance started on Sunday 

and includes removing the right turn 

out of the complex on to Barrington 

St. 

Along with addressing the right 

turn, there will also be a new kerb 

and footpath, a marked pedestrian 

zone across the mall entrance and 

a yellow line extension which will 

remove on-street car parks. 

Residents and the Spreydon- 

Cashmere Community Board have 

called for the right turn to be banned 

for the past 10 years but were met 

with many delays. 

In the past two years alone the 

upgrades have been delayed twice. 

Construction was meant to finish by 

May 2019 but the completion date 

was moved to 2020. 

Last year, however, the project was 

pushed back once again to early this 

year due to final touches being made 

to the mall’s resource consent, which 

took longer than anticipated.

Roadworks wreck residents’ sleep 

• By Samantha Mythen 

SLEEPLESS NIGHTS and long 

waiting times. 

These have been the daily 

realities for Heathcote residents 

since February 14, while Port 

Hills Rd is upgraded nightly 

from 6pm to 7am. 

Although the works are set 

to be finished today, residents 

have been frustrated with lack of 

consideration and contact from 

the city council. 

Everyone is grateful the road 

is finally being fixed, however, 

residents cannot understand why 

the work has been occurring at 

night in a primarily residential 

area. 

Said Heathcote resident Judy 

Stack: “The contractors are doing 

a great job, the road was in 

shocking condition. Our beef 

is that when we go to bed, they 

begin to start work. The noise is 

completely intrusive.” 

Heathcote Ward councillor 

Sara Templeton understands the 

resident’s frustrations. 

Although she has been in 

touch with the contractors, she 

said they only have a few shifts 

left. 

“It will be a complete and 

smooth road by Thursday morning,” 

she said. 

Cosmetic Nail 

Restoration 

Nail Restoration is a painless application that 

restores the appearance of an individual’s 

natural nails. Nail Restoration is a cosmetic 

procedure designed to improve the appearance 

of toenails damaged by fungus and other nail 

disorders. 

NOISY: Roadworks that have upset residents are expected to finish today. 

PHOTO: JUDY STACK 

Stack lives in a new house, 

built after the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake with double glazing, 

yet she still hears the construction 

and it has been making the 

house shudder, echoing up the 

valley. 

“Why can’t they do the work 

during the day, reducing the 

road to a single lane?” she said. 

“It is absolutely not good 

enough that they are doing all 

this work in the small hours of 

the morning.” Cosmetic Nail

resident Sue Coombe: “The work

it is too disruptive.” 

Before 

Cosmetic Nail 

Restoration 

City council streets maintenance 

manager Mark Pinner 

said the work was taking place 

at night instead of the day as a 

permanent single lane in one 

direction would have resulted 

in a large detour which was not 

considered desirable. 

Said Pinner: “To maintain the 

traffic flow with lights or controls 

during peak times in daylight 

would also significantly reduce 

the time for the physical work 

to proceed which would in turn 

result in substantially more time 

on site. The use of night shifts 

also lessened the impact to use 

of access to passengers accessing 

Nail Restoration is a painless application that

procedure designed to improve the appearance 

of toenails damaged by fungus and other nail 

bus stops.” 

Residents, however, say in spite 

of numerous works occurring 

along the road after the past few 

years, this is the first set of night 

works. They still do not understand 

the decision. 

Last week, Stack rang the city 

council to see if the situation 

could be remedied. 

A noise abatement officer rang 

back and said the project manager 

for the works would be in 

touch. She never heard back. 

Said Stack: “The fact that when 

you are really impacted by something 

and you ring the council 

for help and maybe someone will 

“With over 75 years of combined business 

experience, we personalise home and 

business loans for Cantabrians.” 

call you back, does not look good 

on the council’s behalf.” 

Due to another sleepless night, 

Stack’s young grandson had 

missed school on Monday. 

Ann-Marie Locker is another 

concerned resident who wonders 

why the work has to be done at 

night. 

“It’s been absolutely horrendous,” 

she said. 

Her children have both woken 

up with headaches and have also 

had two days off school. 

Although, every house 

along the road was meant to 

be informed about the road 

works, neither Stack or Locker 

received a notice in their 

letterbox. 

The notice says: “There will 

be periods of construction noise 

and vibration. The contractor 

will ensure noise is kept to a 

minimum.” 

Stack believes this is ironic 

after no action has been taken 

to mitigate the negative effects 

on residents in spite of her complaint. 

She said this shows the 

council does not care. 

Work to repair Port Hills Rd 

began after being deferred since 

2017. The wastewater system and 

water mains were replaced over 

the past two years and the road is 

now being resurfaced.

DANGEROUS: The shopping centre exit on Barrington St will no longer put 

road users and pedestrians at risk, seen here in 2019. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 

Right turn into Barrington St 

permanently closed 

• From page 1 

The community wanted 

to see work done sooner 

rather than later as the 

problematic entrance put 

both motorists making the 

right turn and pedestrians 

in danger. 

They were especially 

concerned as the footpath 

was near Spreydon 

Library and children’s 

playgrounds. 

The boundary separating 

traffic and pedestrian 

access were not made clear, 

putting pedestrians at risk 

of being hit by a car. 

Board chair Karolin 

Potter told Southern View 

earlier this month said the 

works were identified as 

one of its priorities in 

the coming months and 

said she was looking 

forward to seeing them 

implemented. 

The board’s 2020-2022 

plan outlined it would 

advocate to have the work 

27 February - 23 March 27 February 2021 - 23 March 2021 

completed “as a matter of 

urgency.” 

For the next four weeks, 

contractors will work 

mostly at night, with some 

day works to be expected. 

The right turn has 

already been permanently 

closed, traffic will be detoured 

to other entrances 

27 February - 23 March 2021 

and lane shifts will be put 

in place. 

Construction is expected 

to be completed by late 

March.

Troy Our Greatest Story retold 

by Stephen Fry 

Following Top Ten bestsellers Mythos and Heroes, this third volume retells the epic 

tale of Troy 

The story of Troy speaks to all of us - the kidnapping of Helen, a queen celebrated for 

her beauty, sees the Greeks launch a thousand ships against the city of Troy, to which 

they will lay siege for ten whole years. It is a terrible war with casualties on all sides 

as well as strained relations between allies, whose consequences become tragedies. 

In Troy you will find heroism and hatred, love and loss, revenge and regret, desire and 

despair. It is these human passions, written bloodily in the sands of a distant shore, 

that still speak to us today. 

Because Of You 

by dawn French 

The instant Sunday Times bestseller 2020 

After five long years of waiting for a new novel, Dawn’s millions of fans will fall in love 

with this tantalising story of motherhood. This is a book about mothers and daughters, 

love and loss, mistakes and regret. It’s a book about nature and nurture.Ultimately, 

it’s a book about what makes us who we are - it is a story for all of us. Following 

her wonderful bestsellers A Tiny Bit Marvellous, Oh Dear Silvia and According to Yes, 

Because Of You is Dawn French’s stunning new book, told with her signature humour, 

warmth and so much love. 

Ruth Bader Ginsburg: A Life 

by Jane Sherron de Hart 

In this bestselling comprehensive, revelatory biography - fifteen years of interviews and 

research in the making - historian Jane Sherron De Hart explores the central experiences 

that crucially shaped Ginsburg’s passion for justice, her advocacy for gender equality, 

and her meticulous jurisprudence. As a young girl Ruth grew up during the Holocaust 

and World War II and her journey begins with her mother, who died tragically young 

but whose intellect inspired her daughter’s feminism. It stretches from Ruth’s days as 

a baton twirler at Brooklyn’s James Madison High School to Cornell University, and to 

Harvard and Columbia Law Schools; to becoming one of the first female law professors 

in the US and having to fight for equal pay and hide her second pregnancy to avoid 

losing her job; and to arguing momentous anti-sex discrimination cases before the US 

Supreme Court. All this, even before being nominated in 1993 to become the second 

woman on the court, where her crucial decisions and dissents are still making history. 

An Exquisite Legacy 

by George Gibbs 

The biography of one of New Zealand’s greatest naturalist-artists, George Hudson, 

1867-1946, who was one of New Zealand’s pioneer naturalists, and devoted his life to 

collecting and describing the New Zealand insect fauna. He amassed what is probably 

the largest collection of New Zealand insects, now housed at Te Papa. Hudson also wrote 

seven books on insect fauna between 1898 and 1946, each illustrated in colour with 

immaculate paintings of the specimens, a total of over 3100 paintings, mainly focused 

on months and butterflies. An Exquisite Legacy is a biography of Hudson, written by 

his grandson Dr George Gibbs, himself a prominent entomologist. Hudson remained 

an amateur naturalist his whole life, but his contribution to our knowledge about the 

New Zealand insect world is of enduring significance, while his artistic legacy, built up 

over nearly seven decades, is truly remarkable. This extensive collection of exquisite 

illustrations is without parallel in New Zealand. Beautifully illustrated throughout, this 

biography of George Hudson is the first chance for most people to see his exquisite 

artwork. 

Girl with a Sniper Rifle An eastern Front Memoir 

by yulia Zhukova 

In this vivid first-hand account we gain unique access to the inner workings of Stalin’s 

Central Women’s Sniper School, near Podolsk in Western Russia. 

Luliia was a dedicated member of the Komsomol (the Soviet communist youth 

organisation) and her parents worked for the NKVD. She started at the sniper school 

and eventually became a valued member of her battalion during operations against 

Prussia. She persevered through eight months of training before leaving for the Front 

on 24th November 1944 just days after qualifying. Joining the third Belorussian Front 

her battalion endured rounds of German mortar as well as loudspeaker announcements 

beckoning them to come over to the German side. Luliia recounts how they would be in 

the field for days, regularly facing the enemy in terrifying one-on-one encounters. She 

sets down the euphoria of her first hit and starting her “battle count” but her reflection on 

how it was also the ending of a life. These feelings fade as she recounts the barbarous 

actions of Hitler’s Nazi Germany.

Pupils prepare gardens for festival 

PLANTS, FLOWERS and vegetables 

are sprouting at schools across the 

city as they finalise their designs for 

the Grow Ōtautahi garden festival 

next month. 

The St Mark’s School and five 

others will be taking part in the Rātā 

Foundation School Gardens exhibitions 

at the three-day festival. 

The garden design at the school 

has been created and developed by 

junior and senior pupils with various 

artworks from across the school. 

It comes after the event was cancelled 

last year due to the Covid-19 

pandemic. 

Pupils have been sharing unique 

stories of their communities by creating 

special gardens. 

The Rātā Foundation School Gardens 

celebrate the best of the local 

environment, with a view to sustainability 

and education. 

Festival director Sandi MacRae 

said she was impressed at the work 

and detail in the school gardens. 

“What I’m seeing in the lead-up to 

the event is really blowing me away. 

The schools are not only creating 

wonderful reflections of their local 

communities, they’re also weaving 

the work into their learning with a 

focus on community, sustainability, 

creativity and celebrating our environment,” 

she said. 

“The plants are growing well and I 

can’t wait to see them on-site in the 

Christchurch Botanic Gardens. 

“The commitment of the teachers, 

children and local communities 

involved is inspirational, and I 

know visitors to the festival will 

be delighted with what they have 

created.” 

Rātā Foundation chief executive 

Leighton Evans said the festival 

provided a unique opportunity to

Classmates celebrate 80 years of friendship 

• By Bea Gooding 

NEARLY EIGHT decades 

have passed since the Opawa 

School class of 1949 said their 

final goodbyes to the place that 

brought about many years of joy. 

It might have been goodbye to 

school, but not so much to each 

other. Now in their 80s, a handful 

of former pupils still meet for 

an annual potluck lunch, but this 

year’s reunion was a special one. 

Thirteen gathered at the 

McLeans Island Camping 

Ground pavilion to celebrate 

primer 1s 80th year of friendship 

since 1941. 

Eleanor Gillespie usually 

organises the reunions and believed 

a former teacher, who 

taught their class for four years, 

was responsible for their long 

friendship. 

“We put that down to a teacher 

we had from standard 1 to 4, he 

held that class together like a 

family. He wasn’t married and 

didn’t have a family of his own,” 

she said. 

“He was a good teacher. He 

spent a lot of time with us, he 

used to take us to Lyttelton on 

the train, we did monthly walks 

over the Bridle Path and he used 

to take the boys out for weekends 

to a bach in Waikuku. 

“They were like his sons.” 

The class comprised of about 

50 students who all walked or 

biked to school, even in the 

snow. The days were split in half, 

Back row: Murray Walker, 87, of Akaroa, Ross Wynn, 86, of Broomfield, Barry Tewnion, 85, 

of Yaldhurst, Barry Hayes, 84, of Casebrook and Brian Brenner, 84, of Akaroa. Middle row: 

Mary Johns (nee Parnell), 84, of Middlepark, Joyce Walker (nee Evans), 85, of Akaroa, David 

Close, 84, of South New Brighton and Rosemary Harper (nee Lane), 84, of Papanui. Front 

row: Jeannette Searle (nee Wise), 84, of Rangiora, Eleanor Gillespie (nee Bamford), 84, of St 

Albans and Valerie Percy (nee Shipp), 84, of Shirley.

from 9am to noon, then 1pm to 

3pm. 

Every week the pupils took a 

tram to Sydenham School where 

the boys took woodwork classes 

and the girls learned how to 

cook. 

“My favourite days were sports 

days, I loved basketball and I was 

a good swimmer,” said Eleanor. 

World War 2 was well involved 

by the time Eleanor started 

school, but as a child, life did not 

feel that way. 

No one came to school without 

lunch, but having suitable clothing 

was another story. 

Said Eleanor: “I think we all 

Three people in the photo below can be found in this primer 1 class of 

Opawa School in 1942 . Front row – Rosemary Harper (nee Lane), sixth 

from left. Middle row – David Close (sixth from left), Eleanor Gillespie nee 

Bamford, second from right. 

went through hardships, there 

were a lot of families that had 

hardships with clothes. I remember 

the blackouts at school, we 

had to have our curtains across 

the windows during the war. 

“But when you’re in that situation 

you don’t realise they’re 

hardships.” 

Eleanor later attended Avonside 

Girls’ High School along 

with two other classmates from 

Opawa. 

Many of the boys went on to 

own their own businesses, became 

teachers and missionaries, 

and two were Rhodes scholars at 

Christchurch Boys’ High School. 

Former pupil Barry Dineen 

notably became the New 

Zealand managing director for 

Shell until 1995 and former city 

councillor David Close edited a 

book chronicling stories of “The 

Class of 1941” and the lives that 

followed. 

But young women at the time 

did not have much choice in the 

career department. Eleanor did 

not know of any girls who went 

to university. They were given 

two options - working in an office 

or life at home. 

Eleanor decided to take 

shorthand typing lessons and 

eventually worked as a typist for 

advertising agencies. 

“You didn’t get a choice like 

this day and age.” 

Since leaving school the class 

stayed in touch, more so in the 

past two decades. Opawa School 

had its 100th anniversary in 

1997, where it was decided that 

the class would do their own 

reunions from then on. 

“Each time I think that I can’t 

do this anymore, I’ve suddenly 

got the energy [to organise it],” 

Eleanor said.

ESTUARY MATTERS 

Event planned to farewell Godwits 

The Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust is a 

non-profit organisation formed to protect one of 

New Zealand’s most important coastal wetlands. 

Each week, board members will discuss matters 

regarding the estuary, its rich history and what 

makes it unique. This week Tanya Jenkins writes 

about an event to commemorate the departure 

of the godwits 

FAREWELL TO the amazing 

godwit birds who will soon be 

leaving for Alaska. 

In September each year as 

many as 2000 godwits birds fly 

non-stop from their breeding 

grounds in Alaska to spend 

summer here with us. 

This journey is 12,000km and 

takes eight days and nights. 

But it is time to say farewell 

as they will soon depart again 

to return to Alaska for another 

breeding season. Right now, they 

are feeding as much and fast as 

they possibly can to gain enough 

weight to survive the long journey 

back. 

The males will have to make 

an extra effort to produce their 

stunning golden brown “breeding 

plumage” in time for the 

departure. 

This is a vital time for us to 

ensure our dogs are always on 

a lead when walking along the 

estuary edge as not to disturb 

them. 

Research has shown that every 

time birds are disturbed it takes 

approximately 40min of nervous 

flying around before they feel 

safe enough to settle and continue 

to feed. 

If this happens several times a 

day they are at risk of not being 

able to gain enough energy to 

complete the 14,000km journey 

back. Yes, it’s even longer than 

when they return as they fly back 

via the Yellow Sea for one stop to 

top up on food before the last leg. 

The Estuary Trust together 

with the city council commemorates 

this amazing annual feat 

this year on Sunday. You are 

warmly invited to join a gathering 

at South Shore Spit Reserve 

(end of Rockinghorse Rd). 

From 5.30pm there will be 

a free sausage sizzle and drink 

stall, live music and free “paint 

a godwit garden ornament ” for 

children to take home. 

The Estuary Trust will have an 

information stall to answer any 

questions you have on the godwit 

and “everything estuary.” 

At 6pm, councillor James 

Daniels will provide a karakia 

before our Mayor Lianne Dalziel 

welcomes us. 

City council park ranger 

Andrew Crossland will provide 

us with facts and figures of the 

godwits before we are taken on 

a guided walk to view the birds 

up close. 

Parking will be available or 

take the No 60 Bus that leaves 

every 30min from the Bus 

Exchange. 

FAREWELL: 

Hundreds of 

godwits travel 

across the globe 

each year to spend 

their summer at 

South Shore Spit. 

They will soon 

depart and return 

to Alaska.

Address for service: 

Christchurch City Council 

Attn: Matt Jackson 

PO Box 73014

Email: matt.jackson@ccc.govt.nz 

The Applicant proposes to construct an earth embankment/flood detention dam across the upper Cashmere 

Valley, between 79 Shalamar Drive to McVicar Drive - Roundhill Rise intersection, Cashmere, Christchurch, 

referred to within the application as the Cashmere Valley Dam. The earth embankment/dam is to be 

constructed for flood detention purposes to reduce flood risk downstream on the Heathcote River corridor 

back to pre-earthquake levels and improve water quality. The works form part of the Upper Heathcote Storage 

Scheme. 

The legal description of the site which the above applications relate include Lot 501 DP 515978 and Lot 502 DP 

515978. Water held by the dam would be on those parcels plus Lot 2 DP 45934 and Lot 1 DP 52720. 

The proposal includes the construction of the earth embankment in and over the bed of Cashmere drain, 

including the installation of a bypass culvert in the bed of Cashmere drain as part of the dam construction, 

damming of floodwater, permanent diversion of a section of Cashmere Valley Drain, and associated earthworks
