Burglaries prompt safety
warning for residents
• By Bea Gooding
OPAWA RESIDENTS are being
reminded to stay vigilant and look
out for each other in a bid to stem a
spate of burglaries.
The matter was discussed at a
Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community
Board meeting, which included
informing residents on how
to keep themselves and their homes
safe via social media.
It comes after a
31-year-old man
was arrested last
month on charges
of burglary and
assault, allegedly
Alexandra
attacking a father
and daughter while
attempting to burgle
Davids
their Fifield Tce home.
Board chairwoman Alexandra
Davids said members wanted to
support the community affected by
similar crimes that have happened
recently.
“It’s a stressful time for people,
they don’t really know what’s
around the corner,” she said.
“So we’re trying to remind the
community to stay vigilant, look out
for one another, making sure they’re
locking their homes and being a bit
more mindful that unfortunately,
this is happening.

Covid-19 vaccine hub delivers
THE CITY’S first privately-run
Covid-19 vaccination hub has
been able to deliver thousands
of jabs, thanks to a crucial
partnership.
Since a former shoe shop in
Barrington shopping centre was
converted into a clinic by Barrington
Medical Centre and Life
Pharmacy Barrington in April,
more than 11,000 people have
been vaccinated there.
The initiative stemmed from
a request from the Canterbury
District Health Board for expressions
of interest in vaccinating
the community, and a desire to
make it easier for people to get
immunised.
Said medical centre director
and GP Graham McGeoch: “We
wanted to help the community
and we felt that by organising the
vaccine hub as a joint venture
between the pharmacy and the
medical centre, we could provide
sufficient scale to be effective.”
Clinical psychologist Joel Hoo
decided to pay a visit to the clinic
because it was conveniently
located and offered evening appointments,
meaning he did not
have to fit the task into his busy
workday.
“For me, the Barrington
vaccination clinic was an ideal
location, it’s close to where I live,
parking is easy and they offer

evening time slots,” he said.
“My vaccination experience
was really positive. Staff were
friendly and approachable and
[they] communicated information
with great clarity.
“And my wait time was only
five minutes – I feel very privileged
to be living in Aotearoa,
knowing that getting the Covid
vaccine isn’t an issue.”
The vaccine hub currently
delivers about 1200 vaccinations
a week and may expand to
2000 depending on staffing and
CDHB requirements.

Pharmacy staff draw the vaccinations,
while pharmacists, GPs,
nurses and contracted staff from
the medical centre run the clinic
and administer injections.
“It’s quite a big commitment
over and above normal ‘business
as usual’ to give this many vaccinations
– over 200 a day is quite
a lot of work,” said McGeoch.
McGeoch said the effort has
been worthwhile as the feedback
from staff and clients has been
overwhelmingly positive.
“It has been interesting working

wide range of people – albeit in
the short space of time it takes to
check patient details and administer
the vaccination,” he said.
“The Covid-19 Immunisation
Register works well once you
have negotiated the training and
initial logon. All the pharmacy
staff and contractors are lovely,
and between us all, we have kept
the average wait time down to
about four minutes.”
The hub is currently

people in Group 3.

In Brief
SPEED REVIEWS
Submissions are now open on
a plan to install 30km/h speed
limits on a new greenway cycle
route and in neighbouring
streets in lower Cashmere. The
city council wants to improve
safety for all road users after it
recently completed construction
of the Nor’West Arc cycleway in
the area. This includes reducing
the speed limit from 50km/h
down to 30km/h on Palmside St,
Woodbank St, Karaka Pl, Paikea
Pl, Ferniehurst St and Molesworth
St. The city council also wants to
install 30km/h speed limits in
Hoon Hay for the same reason,
including Weir Pl, Smartlea St,
Greenpark St, McBeath Ave and
Muirson Ave. To make a submission
on both speed reviews, visit
the city council’s Have Your Say
webpage by July 20.
ROAD CLOSURE
Work to upgrade the Kaiwara St
and Cashmere Rd intersection for
a new traffic calming threshold
has now started. City council contractors
have closed Kaiwara St, as
well as Mavin Rd and Blakeston
St, as part of a wider project to
upgrade the Cashmere, Worsleys
and Hoon Hay Rds intersection.
The upgrade include new drainage,
kerbs, footpaths, pavements
and landscaping. The project is
expected to be completed in two
weeks.

Students’ electronic business card takes
• By Bea Gooding
A GROUP of young enterprise
students weren’t expecting
their final year of high school
to include running a successful
business.
Since Cashmere High School
students Jayden Rosanowski,
Felix Strahl and Emilia Dybka
launched STAP Card last year,
the clientele list has grown to
include real estate agents and
police detectives.
They even won two Young
Enterprise Scheme regional excellence
awards for sustainability
and finance while developing
partnerships with universities
and billboard companies.
And the year 13 students did
it all before they even left high
school.
“It’s taken off heaps, we’re
getting interest from all over
the country. We’ve got some big
customers now, like Harcourts
real estate agents and a police
detective,” said Jayden, STAP’s
chief executive.
“It’s amazing to watch the
business take off and to be a part
of the ride,” said production
manager, Felix.
STAP Card is designed to
replace paper business cards
altogether after the students
discovered more than six million
trees are cut down each year to
produce 100 billion disposable
cards worldwide.
The reusable business
card enables employees to
electronically share their
contact details with others by
utilising QR codes and NFC
chips located inside most new
mobile phones.
All a client needed to do was
tap the card on their device or
scan the code for the information
to pop up on their screen.
In line with the company
ethos of sustainability, STAP
also partnered with non-profit
organisation One Tree Planted
by planting a tree for every card
sold.
The initiative kicked-off when
the business studies students,
who were in year 12 at the time,
unleashed their inner entrepreneur
by taking part in the Lion
Foundation Young Enterprise
Scheme.
It is a chance for young people
to experience the start-up world
by running a real business, with
products and services brought
to the market by the students
themselves.
As STAP was only meant to
be a school project, Felix said its
ongoing success was unexpected,
but keeping up with growing
demand came at a cost.
Making 100 cards in the last
six months for more than 80

companies meant investing in
a new $3500 printer funded by
company sales and part-time
jobs – another commitment to
juggle.
This sped up production
from three to four cards an
hour to 100 in four hours, and
now, it can all be done from a
dedicated office that the school
let them borrow during
business studies classes and
after hours.

“One of the coolest things was at
the start of the year we got to meet
lots of people in business at this
event, and people were using STAP
Cards,” Jayden said.
But having a flourishing business
did not excuse the STAP team from
going to class – they were still students,
after all.
“So many people are wanting
them, so the turn-around time is
one of the largest challenges and
actually creating the cards on time,”
Felix said.
“Another challenge is advertising
which we pay for ourselves. But
we’ve partnered with a media company
doing billboards, so we have
a campaign on Moorhouse Ave
promoting STAP which has 25,000
vehicle interactions each day.”
The STAP team have no plans to
slow down anytime soon having
set their sights on the international
market, particularly in Japan where
business cards are a “big part of the
culture.”
Recently they impressed a panel
of judges at Ara when pitching the
STAP Card, who were now interested
in collaborating on a student
ID and employee card version.
But before they venture further
into the business world, the
students plan to head to either
Canterbury or Lincoln University
to study commerce.
Stormwater plans open for feedback
RESIDENTS CAN now have
their say on plans to improve
the way the city council
manages stormwater at the
Heathcote River.
Consultation has opened
on both the city council’s
Heathcote and Halswell rivers
draft stormwater management
plans.
The draft plans are the
first of seven being prepared
between 2020 and 2023 for the
district’s different stormwater
Extra monitoring by community patrols
• From page 1
“There’s not a lot the council
can do, but having a platform
to be able to remind the community
to be vigilant is a great
opportunity for us.”
Additionally, several posts
made by residents in the Opawa
Neighbourhood Facebook page
stated similar incidents involving
robberies in recent weeks.
One resident feared for her
family’s safety after thieves
broke into their home while
they were sleeping, stealing
tools.
Another resident said their
child’s bike was stolen from the
property in broad daylight.
As a result, the Christchurch
catchments.
They set out the ways in
which the city council will
meet the requirements of its
25-year Comprehensive Stormwater

Consent which was granted by
Environment Canterbury in
2019.
Submissions can be made
until August 30. They can be
found at https://ccc.govt.nz/
the-council/consultations-andsubmissions/haveyoursay
South Community Patrol leapt
into action as stated in a post
made by a patrol spokesperson.
“We’re always keeping an eye
out in the community groups
and have seen the recent posts.
I’ve passed on relevant information
to our patrol leader and
we will increase the number of
patrols in the area,” the comment
read.
“If anyone has any information
on the robberies in the area,
please let us know the times
they have happened as well
as the street, so we can better
target our patrols.”
Davids said Opawa was lucky
to have community patrols that
can pick up extra monitoring
work when police resources can
often be stretched.
Although she was concerned
about the type of incidents occurring
in the area, the problem was
not exclusive to Opawa, and that
they often occurred in cycles.
Said Davids: “Burglaries
and home invasions, whether
influenced by gangs or petty
crime, do seem to come in
cycles and we do see some
communities targeted from
time to time. But you see it drop
off as well when they change
their locations.
“We’re lucky to have those
community patrols that do
hover around and keep an eye
out.”
Police did not respond to
questions from Southern View,
but the board is meeting with
police in the coming weeks to
discuss community concerns,
including the burglaries, as well
as “issues around drinking in
public,” and installing security
cameras in public places.
“We’re always there to
advocate for the community and
we welcome anyone to come up
to us with their concerns, giving
us the opportunity to speak to
the right people,” Davids said.
“When people are looking out
for each other, others looking
to do something negative will
be put off knowing everyone is
banding together.”

AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS

Customers pleased with honest,
reliable vehicle servicing
Having your vehicle regularly serviced is
key to getting the best out of it in terms of
fuel efficiency and reduced wear and tear
on expensive parts.
Kevin, who owns and operates Parker
Automotive in Birmingham Drive,
provides full vehicle servicing to keep your
vehicle running smoothly, as well as WOFs,
batteries and tyres.
He also carries out all mechanical repairs,
including cam belt replacement, suspension
work, clutch and gearbox repairs, only
repairing what’s necessary, and without
charging the earth.
He has owned the business since 2007,
and over that time has established a loyal
customer base – people that rely on him
to give them sound advice and provide
professional care and servicing for their
vehicles.
Customers come from across the city,
Spreydon, Hillmorton, Riccarton, Halswell
and Middleton areas, and the business has
received many positive Google reviews
from customers. Below are some examples:
I have been going to Parker Automotive
for the last eight years and I cannot fault the
service. The mechanical work has been top
notch! If you want top service and value for
money I recommend Parker Automotive. –

basic servicing and warrants through to
major work like clutches, replacement
coilovers and bushings. Kevin is a very
honest guy who gets the job done in a very
timely manor and he has outstanding
communication. The overall service I’ve
received is excellent. – Lachlan Poole
I know it’s not always about price but
sometimes, when it comes to vehicle repairs,
you just want a perceived good deal and work
carried out by someone who seems to care.
Kevin came recommended by a friend, and
what a great recommendation. His work was
clean, efficient, fast and came in under what
I thought it was going to cost. So we took my
partner’s car there two days later and that
too was completed faster than we expected
and at an almost unbelievable cost.
Give Parker Automotive a shot next
time you need something done. Kevin
is a nice fella too, win win. – Mark
Lewis
Earlier this year, Parker Automotive
moved from premises on the Lincoln
and Torrens roads corner to a new site
at 23B Birmingham Drive, Middleton.
Opening hours are Monday to
Friday 7.30am-4pm, Saturday 8am-
12pm. So give Kevin a call on 982
4268, or pop in and he will be happy
to help with all your vehicle servicing
needs.
