Pupils’ video a bid to make<br />
safer routes to school<br />
• By Emily Moorhouse<br />
PUPILS HAVE made a video<br />
and lobbied a community<br />
board in a bid to make roads<br />
near their school safer.<br />
And their pleas seem to be<br />
working.<br />
St Martins School put<br />
a proposal forward to the<br />
Cashmere-Spreydon Community<br />
Board board about<br />
the dangers of crossing roads,<br />
particularly at the Centaurus<br />
Rd roundabout.<br />
Pupils raised concerns of<br />
drivers not stopping or seeing<br />
children on their way to school<br />
during peak traffic hours.<br />
Their solutions were to bring<br />
the school sign closer to the<br />
entrance of the school and<br />
introduce zebra stripes on their<br />
kea crossing.<br />
Board member Tim Scandrett<br />
said they met with the<br />
school and discussed options to<br />
increase road safety which were<br />
passed on to traffic engineers.<br />
Some of these options included<br />
increasing signage and<br />
paintwork to make the roads<br />
look busier which would hopefully<br />
slow cars down.<br />
He said the board have<br />
been trying to ban U-turns<br />
and decrease the speed limit<br />
around schools and was<br />
hoping to have some plans in<br />
place for St Martins School by<br />
Christmas.<br />

Epic fundraising run for Enzo<br />
In Brief<br />
• By Kristie Boland<br />
ANTHONY MARTIN’S 100km<br />
run in Diamond Harbour took<br />
him more than 23 hours to<br />
complete, and at the end of it all<br />
he wanted was a cup of Irish tea.<br />
On Canterbury<br />
Anniversary<br />
Day,<br />
Anthony Martin<br />
ran 100km<br />
with a 3600m<br />
elevation to<br />
raise money<br />
for a Redcliffs<br />
Anthony<br />
Martin<br />
teenager who<br />
suffered a<br />
spinal injury in<br />
early 2020.<br />
Enzo Halliburton, now 18,<br />
was involved in a tragic swimming<br />
accident in Moncks Bay in<br />
January, 2020. While swimming<br />
with friends, Enzo dived into the<br />
water and did not resurface. He<br />
had seriously injured his spine<br />
and his friends had to perform<br />
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation<br />
and call for an ambulance.<br />
Enzo suffered a C5-C7 spinal<br />
injury and is now a tetraplegic.<br />
Martin has a work colleague<br />
whose son was with Enzo that<br />
day. After hearing Enzo’s story,<br />
Martin decided he wanted to do<br />
something to help raise money<br />
to go towards a specialised bike<br />
for Enzo.<br />
This was the first ultra-marathon<br />
distance Martin had ran.<br />
During training, Martin had<br />
ENDURANCE: Anthony Martin during his 100km run in Diamond Harbour.<br />
what he described as a “drawback”<br />
when he ruptured his<br />
hamstring in two places, tore the<br />
cartilage in his hip and had to get<br />
his Achilles tendon reattached.<br />
On the day of the run,<br />
Martin joined in on part of the<br />
Krayzie K’s ultra trail running<br />
event. The temperature that day<br />
was 27 deg C.<br />
“Being an Irish lad, I’m not<br />
built for heat,” said Martin.<br />
The 100km run took him 23hr<br />
38min. Thinking about Enzo<br />
and what he had gone through is<br />
what got Martin through those<br />
last hours.<br />
“Even in the worst pain that<br />
I was in, it’s still a drop in the<br />
ocean of the reality of being<br />
tetraplegic,” he said.<br />
When he finally crossed the<br />
finish line at 8.<strong>25</strong>am on Saturday<br />
morning, there was one thing on<br />
Martin’s mind: “All I wanted was<br />
a cup of tea, there was no tea [at<br />
the finish line] so I drove to my<br />
mates and he had some Irish tea<br />
bags, it was perfect.”<br />

Call for feedback on proposal to lower speed limits<br />
REDUCED SPEED limits could<br />
be in the pipeline for parts of<br />
Scarborough and Taylors<br />
Mistake.<br />
Selected streets would have<br />
speed limits reduced from<br />
50km/h to 40km/h under the<br />
proposals.<br />
Residents of those areas are<br />
being encouraged to share their<br />
views on the draft proposals<br />
which are part of the city council’s<br />
Slow Speeds Neighbourhood<br />
programme.<br />
“Improving<br />
the safety of our<br />
road network is<br />
a priority for the<br />
council. Creating<br />
safer streets by<br />
reducing speeds<br />
is a key way we<br />
Steffan<br />
Thomas<br />
can do that,”<br />
said city council<br />
transport operations<br />
manager Steffan Thomas.<br />
“We are working<br />
proactively with communities<br />
to identify areas where speed is<br />
a problem. By lowering speeds,<br />
people feel encouraged to safely<br />
walk or cycle around their<br />
neighbourhoods.”<br />
“While many road users in<br />
these areas already travel below<br />
the current speed limit, implementing<br />
a lower limit will help<br />
those unfamiliar with the area to<br />
understand the safe and appropriate<br />
speed.”<br />
“Scarborough and Taylors<br />
Mistake in particular attract<br />
large numbers of visitors to the<br />
beaches and walkways over the<br />
summer months and this will<br />
help to signpost and reinforce<br />
safe driver behaviour.”<br />
The city council has<br />
implemented a number of slow<br />
speed neighbourhoods over the<br />
past five years and will continue<br />
to prioritise the initiative,<br />
Thomas said.<br />
The deadline for submissions is<br />
December 5.<br />
• HAVE YOUR SAY:<br />

Sharpen your<br />
painting skills<br />
on park mural<br />
• By Emily Moorhouse<br />
COMMUNITY participation<br />
and connection is the idea<br />
behind a planned mural for<br />
Radley Park.<br />
Starting next week,<br />
Woolston residents will be<br />
rolling up their sleeves to help<br />
paint a mural that will be put up<br />
along the existing fence line at<br />
the park.<br />
Roimata Food Commons<br />
founder, which is located at the<br />
park, Michael Reynolds, felt<br />
as though most public spaces<br />
were heavily under-used as<br />
community spaces.<br />
“People don’t necessarily feel<br />
like the park belongs to them,”<br />
he said.<br />
“We wanted to create a space<br />
for people to feel connected.”<br />
The inspiration behind the<br />
project stems from the postearthquake<br />
street art in central<br />
city. Reynolds said it invited<br />
people to spend more time in<br />
those places admiring the art<br />
and wanted to bring the same to<br />
Woolston.<br />
There will be workshops<br />
running each Saturday from<br />
<strong>November</strong> 27 at 2-4.30pm.<br />
The community can<br />
contribute a steady hand for<br />
painting the mural designed<br />
by local artist Sandrine Line<br />

School kea Crossing. Right – Parents helping children cross at the<br />

Solutions discussed with community board<br />
• From page 1<br />
“We’re trying to do what we<br />
can with what we’ve got,” he said.<br />
Year eight pupils told <strong>Southern</strong><br />
<strong>View</strong> about the dangers<br />
of walking or biking to<br />
school with busy traffic.<br />
Elsie Brown said some<br />
cars didn’t indicate so it’s<br />
hard to know when to<br />
cross at the roundabout.<br />
Esme Turner usually<br />
travels on her skateboard<br />
to school and said some<br />
cars didn’t stop at the<br />
kea crossing and thought putting<br />
zebra stripes in would solve this.<br />
Alice Denley<br />
Catalina Williams and Ella<br />
Tuffnell also thought introducing<br />
zebra stripes would help cars slow<br />
down and notice that children<br />
were trying to cross the<br />
busy road.<br />
Olivia Marshall said<br />
traffic was just as busy<br />
when she was walking<br />
home and cars didn’t<br />
look around to check for<br />
pupils crossing.<br />
“There’s lots of little<br />
kids scootering home<br />
with their parents and<br />
I think it must be quite scary for<br />
them.”<br />
Senior pupils also went to<br />
the Mobil service station on<br />
Centaurus Rd after school and<br />
they felt it was dangerous trying<br />
to cross the road to get there.<br />
The school released a survey<br />
for parents and pupils about<br />
preferred modes of transport and<br />
found that parents would rather<br />
their children walk or bike to<br />
school if it was safer.<br />
Deputy principal Alice<br />
Denley said meeting with<br />
the community board was<br />
successful and solutions were<br />
discussed.<br />
“The board didn’t think that<br />
•HAVE YOUR SAY: What<br />
safety measures should be<br />
implemented at Centaurus<br />
roundabout – Centaurus Rd,<br />
Wilsons Rd and Albert Tce?<br />
Send your views to emily.<br />
moorhouse@starmedia.<br />
kiwi Keep responses to 200<br />
words or less.<br />
the Mobil would be an issue,<br />
they just thought it would be the<br />
roundabout itself so it was good<br />
for them to hear from the kids<br />
that they do go to Mobil and it’s a<br />
busy area.”<br />
Five artists combine for our new group exhibition ‘Sum of the Parts’<br />
<strong>November</strong> 27 - December 14; on show for a shorter duration to allow<br />
for all-important Christmas pickup opportunities.<br />
Contributing artists are Christchurch Kara Burrowes and local Little<br />
River sculptor Jane Downes. Jasmine Keir’s studio is in Kerikeri, just up<br />
the road from Dave Green in Rawene, and Debra Powell is from the<br />
rural Waikato hamlet of Te Pahu.<br />
Kara Burrowes is an artist and designer based in Christchurch. Her work<br />
is tactile and experimental. Using recycled wood from demolition sites, she loves<br />
the concept of transforming something quite ordinary into something precious and<br />
alluring. “Through reinterpretation I like to create a new language, often through the<br />
use of pattern and repetition, method and process.”<br />
Debra Powell’s alias in the pottery studio is ‘Little Betty’. Her ceramic work has<br />
strong narrative themes, exploring relationships between people and nature, playing<br />
with convention, and infusing the result with a gentle humour.<br />
Oxidized copper artist Jasmine Keir endeavours to create and understand the<br />
alchemy of colours achievable via her artistic process; one which uses a variety of<br />
natural ingredients to react with and manipulate the finish of her copper works.<br />
Dave Green creates whimsical arrangements; ‘Lightshifter’ sculptures. His art is about changing the form<br />
and shape of found, often discarded, objects - both natural and manmade. Reborn out of pre-loved glass<br />
and crystal, some are lighting devices others are designed to hang in the light.<br />
Sculptor Jane Downes’ delicate themes are fabricated in steel. ‘Arboresque’ a study of tree forms, an<br />
observation of nature’s sacred geometry.”<br />

Many Summerset residents I speak with enjoy that their housing<br />
is secured, finances sorted with no surprises, and care is on hand at<br />
any level should you need it in the future. There’s a certain<br />
freedom in knowing the big (and not so big) things are<br />
taken care of, so you can just get on with living life.<br />

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas<br />
Christmas is a great time for passing down recipes that are tried and true becoming<br />
traditional family favourites. The owner of this recipe says her mum used to make<br />
the pudding on Christmas Eve and would take the bowl and wooden spoon around<br />
everyone in the house to stir the mixture and make a wish.<br />
Make a Wish Christmas Pudding<br />
You will need:<br />
• 1 ½ tbsp butter<br />
• 1 ½ tsp baking soda<br />
• 1 ½ cups of boiling water<br />
• 1 ½ cups flour<br />
• 1 ½ cups mixed fruit or sultanas<br />
• ¾ cup sugar<br />
Method:<br />
1. In a glass or stainless steel bowl,<br />
melt the butter (over hot water)<br />
and dissolve the baking soda.<br />
2. Add the boiling water and<br />
sugar.<br />
3. When cool, add flour and<br />
mixed fruit.<br />
4. Stir all the ingredients together<br />
and make a Christmas wish.<br />
5. Cover bowl with a tea towel and<br />
allow to stand overnight.<br />
The next day:<br />
• Place mixture into a greased<br />
bowl or ice-cream container,<br />
cover with tinfoil and place in a<br />
pot of water, just deep enough<br />
so the bowl doesn’t float.<br />
• Boil pudding for four hours and<br />
check regularly to make sure<br />
the water has boiled dry. Top<br />
up carefully with extra water if<br />
required.<br />
• Serve with heaps of Chantilly<br />
cream!<br />

ADVENTURES: Ray on the Benmore Dam during the Alps to Ocean Trail in 2017, and with Judith on West Coast Wilderness Trail in 2015.<br />
Spin class cyclists gear up for off-road trip<br />
CYCLISTS RAY and Judith<br />
Blyth are scheduled to head off<br />
today on a 160km off-road trail<br />
tour, as part of a YMCA’s Life<br />
Fit trip along Central Otago’s<br />
mountain bike trails.<br />
Ray, 79, who is the oldest in the<br />
21-strong group, will cycle the<br />
Roxburgh Gorge, Clutha Gold<br />
and the Lake Dunstan trails over<br />
three days.<br />
Ray and Judith brought their<br />
bikes in 2006 when Ray retired,<br />
with the intention to stay fit and<br />
get around Christchurch. A Life<br />
Fit member for the last 15 years,<br />
Ray has been on four previous<br />
cycle trips with his fellow spin<br />
class participants.<br />
Ray and Judith are very fortunate<br />
for the spin group, which<br />
Ray describes as a mixture of<br />
fitness and companionship.<br />
“We just thank our lucky stars<br />
that we have our health and are<br />
able to do these things,” he said.<br />
“As they say, you’ve got to use<br />
it or lose it.”<br />
Event organiser Jill O’Connor,<br />
said the idea formed from a<br />
desire for members to see cycling<br />
as a lifestyle, not just a class to<br />
take once a week.<br />
“The goal has always been<br />
companionship. We want our<br />
spin members to feel confident<br />
to go out biking on the weekend<br />
with their grandkids and with<br />
friends,” she said.<br />
O’Connor said Life Fit realised<br />
a lot of members were very fit<br />
and proficient on their spin<br />
bikes, but rarely went out on<br />
their regular bikes.<br />
“We find there is a huge sense<br />
of achievement at the end of each<br />
trip, and everyone’s confidence<br />
just keeps building.”<br />
Age is not really a factor for<br />
the team and some of those who<br />
find the trips harder are now using<br />
e-bikes so they can continue<br />
to participate.<br />
The spin class undertakes a<br />
six-week training programme<br />
prior to each trip to get them<br />
well adjusted to cycling outside<br />
of the class and to ensure their<br />
fitness levels match the difficulty<br />
of the planned trips.<br />
The programme prepares them<br />
for riding on off-road tracks and<br />
builds their experience of riding<br />
in a large group.<br />
The team of three support staff<br />
are all experienced cyclists who<br />
have previously led many Life<br />
Fit cycle trips around the South<br />
Island. They have been supporting<br />
the participants through the<br />
training programme and will<br />
cycle alongside them on the trail.<br />
Life Fit is a YMCA programme<br />
targeted at older gym members<br />
or those rehabilitating from<br />
illness or injury. Members<br />
focus on building stamina and<br />
retaining strength through a<br />
range of group exercise and<br />
spin classes.<br />
