‘Basically we’ve achieved 

nothing in 20-odd years’ 

New plan for 

roundabout 

does not go 

far enough 

• By Emily Moorhouse 

AFTER ongoing consultations, 

pedestrian improvements are 

finally being made at a Cashmere 

roundabout but not all residents 

are happy with the changes. 

The Waihoro Spreydon- 

Cashmere Community Board 

approved a design to improve 

pedestrian crossings at the 

Barrington St/Cashmere Rd/ 

Purau Tce roundabout. 

The design will see a new 

refuge island installed on the 

Barrington St approach and 

improvements to the existing 

refuge crossing points on 

Cashmere Rd. 

Geoff McPhail, who lives just 

down the road from the roundabout, 

said residents have raised 

concerns about safety at the site 

for about 20 years now and the 

new design won’t change much. 

“Basically we’ve achieved 

nothing in 20-odd years, no 

improvements at all. They’re 

going to slightly improve what’s 

there but I would argue it’s not 

really material from a big picture 

PLAN: Geoff McPhail says pedestrians tend to avoid the Barrington St/Cashmere Rd/Purau Tce roundabout and cross 

near a tight corner (above right). He says the new design ‘won’t change much’.

point of view.” 

McPhail said the roads 

connecting to the roundabout 

were busy and often people would 

be waiting for a while to cross. 

“You shouldn’t be crossing 

a roundabout because people 

don’t indicate and you end up 

just diving across between cars, 

basically.” 

He said a lot of people cross 

a few metres down from the 

roundabout on Cashmere Rd, 

which has a sharp and dangerous 

corner.

EILEEN KERR received a 

fake vaccination booster form 

in her mailbox and while she 

recognised it was fake, she didn’t 

think everyone would. 

Now the 70-year-old Spreydon 

resident is warning others to be 

wary of similar hoaxes. 

When Eileen wen to co lect 

the mail, she noticed what 

appeared to be a form to 

book your Covid-19 booster 

vaccinations in advance. 

She sat down a the dinner 

table with pen in hand, abou to 

start fi ling ou the form, when 

she noticed something strange. 

“I started reading and that’s 

when the bomb went off,” she said. 

The form read: “Jabbing our 

way to a “safer” New Zealand?” 

That was enough to make Eileen 

question its authenticity, in spite 

of how official it looked. 

a topic of discussion. 

Eileen said the paper was good “I’m 70, my husband’s 

quality and the form had been 60-something and I thought 

put in her mailbox at a time we’re fine, we’re no the flashest 

when booster vaccinations were on social media, but a lot of 



people around here are elderly 

and they would go and worry 

abou that crap if they didn’t 

read the sma l print,” she said. 

The form had a space to fi l in 

your personal details and slots 

to book your next booster shot, 

which was shown to be required 

every two weeks, tota ling up to 

120 booster shots to be booked

Connecting 

kids with 

cricket a 

way of life 

for mother 

and family 


CRICKET HAS been a large part of 

Libby Hickford’s life, yet after 46 years 

of playing and coaching it’s the sense of 

community that keeps her involved with 

the sport. 

Since becoming a budding young 

cricketer a the age of five Hickford has 

coached teams, mentored coaches, sat 

on cricket committees and even met her 

husband through the game. 

Now the 51-year-old runs the Sydenham 

Junior Cricket Club, overseeing 

training, club management and being 

responsible for more than 300 members. 

Hickford’s interest in cricket stemmed 

from her father who played and while 

she had to play in a boys team at school 

due to the sport being very male dominated 

she quickly became hooked. 

“I just really enjoyed the game and 

I got to play it quite a bit at lunch time 

with the boys,” she said. 

“My passion for cricket grew from 

there.” 

Hickford was eventua ly able to play in 

a girls team during high school and later 

dabbled in indoor cricket, where she met 

her “very cricket passionate” husband 

Allan when she was 21.

School packs 

take pressure 

off struggling 

families 


A SURPRISE from an old school friend 

and a nationwide company has seen the 

Hoon Hay Food Bank create a new ‘back to 

school pack’ for children in need. 

Food bank founder 

Corrin Webster 

was surprised when 

employees of Air New 

Zealand arrived a the 

food bank with a bunch 

of school supplies to 

donate. 

“They jus turned 

up out of nowhere, we 

didn’t know they were 

coming,” he said. “It 

was rea ly awesome.” 

One of the employees explained that Air 

New Zealand did a similar thing last year 

by donating to a charity of their choice, and 

this year the Hoon Hay Food Bank was on 

their radar after finding them on Facebook. 

“It’s amazing to know that such a 

nationwide company as big as Air New 

Zealand has noticed somebody as sma l as 

us,” Webster said. “It’s a rea ly good feeling 

and it’s good to get that recognition from 

somebody so important.” 

Among the supplies Air New Zealand 

donated were lunch boxes with drink 

bottles and sma l containers for food 

storage. 

A couple weeks before Air New Zealand 

donated the school supplies, an old school 

friend of Webster’s had visited to drop off a 

bunch of school shoes. 

This also took Webster by surprise, 

as he hadn’t seen his friend Becca since 

intermediate and without Facebook she 

wasn’t fo lowing the food bank online.

Seniors have isolation concerns 

while library is being rebuilt 


CONCERNS FROM older 

adults in the community about 

loosing their space to connect 

with each other during South 

Library’s rebuild have been 

raised. 

Age-Friendly Spreydon 

Cashmere Committee member 

Helene Lautner wrote to the 

Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere 

Community Board at its latest 

meeting, addressing the 

“negative impact” the library’s 

temporary closure will have on 

older adults. 

Lautner said the library is a 

well-used facility, particularly 

for older adults in the community 

and for some, it is their 

opportunity to socialise. 

“It also gives people the 

chance to get out of their house 

into a safe environment where 

it’s warm to use the computers,” 

she said. 

“Or maybe some older adults 

come just to sit and read in the 

library to escape long hours of 

being alone at home.” 

The city council confirmed 

South Library will be rebuilt due 

to earthquake damage repairs 

costing more than demolishing 

and rebuilding it. 

No start date has been set for 

work to begin but it is estimated 

to take 18 months. 

Lautner said many people she 

knows use the space to meet 

friends and connect with each 

other, which is a huge factor in 

people’s lives. 

“This has become part of the 

structure of the community, 

having the library available so if 

you remove that structure you 

can’t easily recreate it on your 

own,” she said. 

“I’m there frequently. If you go 

there at anytime it’s pretty full 

with people.” 

Lautner said the closure of 

South Library would have a 

“significant negative impact” on 

the older adults if there was no 

alternative venue offered during 

the rebuild. 

“Loneliness and isolation are 

alleviated when individuals 

come to the library and sit in 

comfortable chairs set up in a 

conversational design that encourages 

strangers to talk to one 

another.” 

She said she would like the 

community board to think 

about these issues and investigate 

venues that can be used as 

a temporary space for people to 

meet and connect during the 

library’s rebuild. 

“It is a long time 18 months, 

CONCERN: 

David Troughton 

and Helene 

Lautner would 

like a temporary 

venue for older 

adults to use

MEDIA 

that’s just what they’re predicting 

now, it could be longer,” she 

said. 

Community board chair 

Karolin Potter said the Spreydon 

and Cashmere areas have 

slightly more older people than 

other areas in the city. 

She said she supports the 

committee’s request to have 

a temporary space while the 

library undergoes its rebuild and 

staff are looking into this. 

“People love that library. It’s a 

place where people can go to 

feel the warmth of others 

around them without talking 

to them.” 

In Brief 

FLOODLIGHTS FOR 

FOOTBALL CLUB 

Cashmere Technical Football 

Club has been granted $20,000 to 

go towards purchasing floodlight 

towers. Club representative 

Caroline Mason said she is really 

pleased the city council supported 

their request to have floodlights, 

and the club is excited to find a 

suitable location for them. The 

club had previously approached 

the community board to get 

floodlights installed to 

accommodate for midweek 

training. 

GRANTS FOR EVENTS 

AND JAZZ 

The Waikura Linwood-Central- 

Heathcote Community Board 

approved a grant of $2500 to 

Roimata Commons Trust to go 

towards a Matariki community 

event. The community board 

also approved a grant of $2043 

to go towards Te Aratai College 

students’ participation in the 

Southern Jam Youth Jazz Festival 

in August. 

TOILET UPGRADES FOR 

TENNIS CLUB 

The Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere 

Community Board approved 

a grant of $2000 to Barrington 

Tennis Club towards toilet block 

upgrades. The upgrades include 

installing an extractor fan, which 

the club has budgeted $500 to go 

towards but needed additional 

funding.

specialist and home room teachers 

which enhance the choice, challenge, 

practical activities and academic 

rigour that can be provided. 

An intermediate school can support 

your child by providing: 

• Opportunities to excel and thrive 

right across the curriculum both in 

and out of the classroom 

• Broad enrichment and extension 

opportunities 

• Opportunities to develop leadership 

skills 

• Carefully tailored wellbeing and 

supported learning programmes 

• Teachers who understand and have 

an affinity for this age and stage 

• Structured and safe learning 

environments that focus on 

relationships, emotional and 

academic development 

• Technology and specialist 

programmes that are hands-on and

QUICK PACE: Henry Uys (left) of Somerfield took part in the country’s fastest mountain 

bike race, the Bridge to Bridge, last weekend. Uys was third in his class and sixth overall 

in the 60km event held annually in June on the northern bank of the Waimakariri River. 

Regie Mangaoil of Woolston won the 15km race in a time of 43min 57sec. 

Roundabout site 

not high risk 

• From page 1 

In 2011, McPhail spoke to the 

community board about a proposal 

to install a refuge island on 

Cashmere Rd where people cross, 

to combat safety issues with the 

tight corner. 

He said traffic engineers visited 

the site and recommended this 

proposal, however it was not 

passed by the community board 

at the time. 

“This is about the fourth time 

they’ve consulted the people to 

look at it,” McPhail said. 

“They just don’t seem to 

want to address it at all, these 

centre islands have been put 

in everywhere else. Why 

they don’t want to put one in 

to give everyone a safe space 

to cross I don’t know, I just 

don’t get it.” 

Last year a group called 

Barrington Cashmere Safe 

Streets was formed to provide a 

voice about pedestrian and cycle 

safety issues in the area. 

The group consulted with 

Cashmere High School, Hohepa 

Canterbury residential services, 

and Thorrington Primary School. 

Each shared concerns of safety 

around crossing Cashmere Rd 

and the roundabout. 

McPhail said he supports the 

idea of installing a refuge island 

at the Barrington St approach, 

HAVE YOUR SAY: What 

do you think about the 

roundabout? Email 

emily.moorhouse@ 

starmedia.kiwi. Keep 

responses to 200 words or 

less 

but more needs to be done for the 

Cashmere Rd and Purau Tce approaches 

for better safety. 

Community board chair 

Karolin Potter said there was 

hesitation about carrying 

out more work on 

the roundabout due to 

the planned bus lane for 

Cashmere Rd. 

“We know we aren’t 

fulfilling what the people 

think they need in terms 

of a priority for pedestrians 

here, but if we 

do that it’s going to 

have to be pulled out for the bus 

lane.” 

Potter said once the bus lane 

goes through, which is pending, 

city council staff will reassess the 

roundabout. 

The community board agenda 

stated the roundabout is not 

identified as a high risk site – 

compared to others in the city 

– using KiwiRAP assessment 

criteria, and therefore is not a 

priority for funding.

Basil, 80, and working 40 hours a week 

• By Susan Martin 

AT AN AGE when most of us 

have hung up the gloves – Basil 

Plato is out the door to full-time 

employment in Christchurch. 

A statistical anomaly, Basil 

turns 81 this year and says he has 

no plans to retire. He supports 

six men with disabilities in a 

house in Halswell – and has been 

with four of them for 22 years. 

Their average age is 65. 

So why is this veteran working 

40 hours a week? 

“For one thing, I like these 

guys,” he said. 

“We’ve seen a bit of life together. 

People need assistance 

out there. 

“Work keeps you plugged into 

life, feeling younger and ‘with 

it’ – but I know the truth when 

I look in the mirror. I’ve got 

my mates, mostly retired now. 

Oldies tend to talk about their 

aches and pains – and they’re 

legitimate concerns. 

“But I just think, while I’ve got 

my health, there’s more for me 

yet. If I slow down, I might start 

noticing all the bad stuff about 

being old. When it’s time, I think 

I’ll know,” he says. 

Basil says money’s not the 

driver as he’s “all set up.” 

For over 40 years, Basil worked 

as an independent contractor 

in forestry around Canterbury, 

as well as on dairy farms and 

building sites in the region. He 

CARER: Basil Plato supports men with disabilities. 

crossed paths with disability 

when he took time out to care for 

his wife during a long illness. 

“People commented on my 

carer skills, and about 2000, 

a friend saw jobs in disability 

homes and said: “Hey you’d be 

good at that,” he said. 

This was a period in New 

Zealand when policy on disability 

was changing. The state 

was winding up a historic 

programme to segregate babies, 

children and adults with intellectual 

disability in institutions. 

People were being released to 

join the community. 

Basil landed a job with NZ- 

Care (now NZCommunity Living) 

– a Government-funded inhome 

support provider. NZCare 

was responsible for resettling 

residents from the Templeton 

Centre between the mid-1990s 

and 2000. 

Templeton was New Zealand’s 

first and largest psychopaedic 

institution. Built in 1928, and 

originally called the ‘Templeton 

Farm Colony’, its purpose was to 

PHOTO: STAR MEDIA 

‘detain mental defectives.’ 

Basil says he knew little about 

disability at first. 

“We’d all heard the spooky 

rumours about places like Templeton. 

But you didn’t know. You 

didn’t see the people,” he said. 

“I remember my first day, I 

was put on for a nightshift. At 

the end of it I thought – well, 

this won’t be my cup of tea. But 

I turned up the next day and my 

manager said: ‘You’ve come back 

– you’ll be okay’.” 

Basil says the clincher for him 

was NZCare’s proviso that staff 

obtain formal qualifications. 

“I had to do a level 4 certificate, 

which was hard for me, but disability 

is a skilled support area. 

I wouldn’t have known how to 

understand and support the people. 

I mean, I didn’t know there 

were people who didn’t speak,” 

he says. 

Basil says with time, training 

and experience, he learnt there 

were other ways to converse, 

grasp and relate to people. 

“It takes years though to really 

‘get’ a different communication,” 

he said. 

Five of the six residents are 

non-verbal, with autism a common 

theme. 

“We’re always trying to read 

and understand what’s going 

on for them. We’re all pretty 

predictable, and these guys are 

no different. 

“But we just wish we knew 

more sometimes – that they 

could tell us – look, I’ve got a 

bloody headache, a toothache, 

my arthritic knee’s getting 

bitten into, I’m craving cheese, 

oranges, coffee – or I’m just extra 

hungry today and this time it’s 

serious, not my usual haggle,” he 

says. 

Basil says he’s a person who is 

always observing, thinking and 

trying to figure out what makes 

others tick.

“One of our guys here sits in his favourite 

chair. At face value, you’d think he’s in 

his own world. But I see what he’s up to. 

He’s watching us all in the reflection of 

the telly, taking in what everyone’s doing 

behind him – who’s talking to who, who’s 

saying what. I catch him grinning and 

nodding when something resonates or 

tickles his fancy. 

“It’s easy to overlook some people, especially 

when they don’t use words. But you 

have no idea how clued up they might be. 

Don’t think you’ve got someone’s number 

or know what they’re grinning about – 

they know things you don’t.” 

Basil says the residents are experts at 

watching and reading human nature. 

“They’ve had hundreds of staff come 

and go. They’ve spent a lifetime scanning 

the faces of those ‘in charge’ and sizing up

months later when a house became available. 

Asked what makes a good support 

worker Basil says: 

“Oh training is key. Then you need 

a good team of people – quality, mix, 

numbers wise. You need the right attitude 

– you have to be there for the guys. 

“As staff, we have to stay vigilant against 

any attitude of ‘control’ creeping into the 


house. We’re here to support the people 

– not to dominant them or suit ourselves. 

Our blokes are fully-fledged adults, sensitive 

and aware, with every right to be 

here, to feel respected and valued, safe and 

relaxed, and to have good and bad days,” 

he says. 

And does Basil regard the men as 

friends? “Yes and no,” he said. 

“People matter. You build relationships 

in this job. But I also realise, I can only do 

my bit. I’ve got another life – a partner, 

friends, kids, grandkids. The switch does 

goes off. But I think you need that boundary.” 

A colleague who works closely with Basil 

says: “The residents all love Basil. Maybe 

it’s his communication style, tone of voice, 

mannerisms, humour or longevity. But 

some breathe a sigh of relief when comes 

in or gets back from holidays, a sort of 

‘thank God you’re here.’ Maybe they’ve 

had enough of us mostly females.” 

With staff turnover notoriously high in 

disability work, and women composing 

most of its workforce – this group of residents 

in a Halswell house could be doing a 

lot worse than having this enduring man 

in their lives. 

Finally, when asked the obligatory career 

question of, so, where do you see yourself 

in 10 years? Basil laughs and says: “Las 

Vegas. That was the plan before Covid. I’d 

really like to see Las Vegas.” 

There is a Royal Commission of Inquiry 

in New Zealand into historic abuse in care 

between 1950 and 1999. A public hearing, 

which will include the experiences of 

people with disabilities in institutions, will 

be held in July. This is a chance to make 

disability history seen and heard.
