Traffic disruption likely<br />
at busy intersection<br />
PEOPLE travelling in the<br />
Addington area can expect<br />
some disruption in the coming<br />
weeks as contracting crews<br />
begin upgrading a major<br />
intersection.<br />
They are going to be<br />
installing a raised safety<br />
platform at the busy<br />
intersection of Lincoln Rd,<br />
Barrington St and Whiteleigh<br />
Ave to encourage people to<br />
travel through it at safer speeds.<br />
“This intersection<br />
is<br />
used by about<br />
50,000 vehicles<br />
a day and by<br />
many pedestrians<br />
and<br />
cyclists,’’ city<br />
council head of<br />
Lynette Ellis transport Lynette<br />
Ellis said.<br />
“Whether people are travelling<br />
through this intersection<br />
by car, on foot, by bike or on a<br />
bus, we want them to be able to<br />
do so safely so we are installing<br />
a raised safety platform.<br />
“Raised safety platforms are<br />
a treatment that is increasingly<br />
being used across New Zealand<br />
to improve safety through intersections<br />
and crossings by encouraging<br />
safer speeds but this<br />
is the first time we’ve installed<br />
one at a major Christchurch<br />
intersection,’’ Ellis said.<br />

Your Local MP for Banks Peninsula<br />
Tracey<br />
McLellan<br />
There’s a lot to look forward to on<br />
the ground in some of my favourite<br />
suburbs. My recent community<br />
clinic for residents in Cracroft and<br />
Westmorland was engaging as always<br />
- thanks to everyone who called by.<br />
These clinics are a great way to meet<br />
with people and hear your stories and<br />
listen to your priorities. I’ll be at the St<br />
Martins Community Centre on 27th<br />
<strong>August</strong> so please look out for your<br />
invite in letterboxes soon.<br />
I know there’s a lot happening in the<br />
world at the moment and we’re not<br />
immune to the significant global<br />
pressures, but our government is<br />
taking action. The cost of living<br />
package rolls out this month and<br />
petrol and public transport subsidies<br />
have been extended into next year to<br />
help toward easing the pressures on<br />
New Zealand families.<br />
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was<br />
in Christchurch earlier this month to<br />
talk with student leaders from 34 high<br />
schools. It was such a lovely afternoon<br />
and a chance to acknowledge the<br />
challenges students face and just<br />
ask questions about anything and<br />
everything. It was great to see Bella<br />
and Toby there from Cashmere High<br />
School - Te iringa o Kahukura. You<br />
can’t help but feel proud when such<br />
amazing young people represent their<br />
communities so well.<br />
I’m looking forward to catching up<br />
with the fantastic team at Somerfield<br />
Te Kura Wairepo this week – a lovely<br />
school set in beautiful grounds. I<br />
never tire of school visits because they<br />
inspire me to keep remembering why<br />
we are here and why we do this. We<br />
have a wealth of amazing schools in<br />
the Banks Peninsula electorate.<br />
Well, soon we will be enjoying the<br />
colour and warmth of spring in<br />
the garden city. Until then, I hope<br />
the remainder of winter treats you<br />
well. As always, my office is here to<br />
help – please don’t hesitate to reach<br />
out if there’s anything I can do to<br />
assist. We’re at 642 Ferry Road in<br />
Woolston or you can get in touch by<br />
phone 03 376 4512 or email Tracey.<br />

New home for Bush Farm Education<br />
• By Annabel Black<br />
FINDING AND securing a new<br />
residence for much-loved Bush<br />
Farm Education has been an<br />
involved process for managing<br />
director and lead kaiako Katie<br />
Earle and her team.<br />
“We were<br />
looking for a<br />
new location<br />
that could offer<br />
a connection to<br />
the land, sea and<br />
nature, similar<br />
to what we had<br />
Katie Earle at Orton Bradley<br />
Park,” Earle said.<br />
Reaching out to the local<br />
community led Earle to meet<br />
with Denis Aldridge from Living<br />
Springs, and the synergy<br />
between the two organisations<br />
was quickly realised.<br />
To celebrate the new partnership,<br />
Bush Farm will be holding<br />
an open day at Living Springs on<br />
September 1 at 3pm.<br />
For 50 years, Living Springs<br />
has attracted many thousands of<br />
young people and community<br />
groups to a unique and breathtaking<br />
setting. The campers<br />
engage with nature, unplug from<br />
city life and have the opportunity<br />
to take part in challenging<br />
adventures.<br />
Living Springs business<br />
development manager Heba<br />
Mashhour said: “Much of our<br />
ethos centres around well-being,<br />
the outdoors, the environment<br />
and education. As such, we are<br />
delighted to welcome Bush Farm<br />
education to Living Springs.”<br />
For Bush Farm, the new location<br />
offers a stream, native bush,<br />
a working sheep farm, animals,<br />
access to the sea, and a similar<br />
vision.<br />
For working parents, it’s even<br />
closer to Ōtautahi Christchurch,<br />
now a 15-minute commute over<br />
the hill from Colombo St, and a<br />
similar drive from Lyttelton and<br />
Diamond Harbour.<br />
Bush Farm Education started<br />
in 20<strong>18</strong> to cater to the people<br />
of Waitaha Canterbury. It grew<br />
out of the need to bring a deeper<br />
connection to the farm, sea and<br />
whenua.<br />
Research indicates children<br />
who experience outdoor play<br />
have higher pro-environmental<br />
attitudes, are more resilient and<br />
are resourceful, while Indigenous<br />
knowledge shows a deep<br />
connection to the whenua fosters<br />
holistic well-being and supports<br />
a sense of identity and belonging.<br />
“By combining both lenses,<br />
within a relationship-based<br />
environment, our whānau can<br />
flourish in their knowledge, and<br />
further their understanding of<br />
the world,” Earle said.<br />
“Bush Farm operates outdoors,<br />
year-round, in all weathers.<br />
We’re an organisation that connects<br />
nature with resourcefulness.<br />
We follow the cycles of the<br />
seasons. We ask the ‘why’ and<br />
the ‘how’. We craft, we observe,<br />
we gather, we kōrero.”<br />
The feedback is unanimous:<br />
the children and their families<br />
love it.<br />
Baxter Scott is 10-years-old<br />
and has been a student at Bush<br />
Farm since the start of the year.<br />
He takes leave from his local<br />
primary school to attend each<br />
Thursday during the school<br />
term, as well as joining holiday<br />
programmes events.<br />
“Being somewhere new means<br />
we can do different things<br />
around Living Springs,” said<br />
Baxter.<br />
“I say it will be very nice – I<br />
am so happy that Living Springs<br />
is allowing us to keep going. I<br />
love Bush Farm – learning about<br />
the outdoors has been great.<br />
Other than my home(s) it’s my<br />
favourite place to be, it feels like I<br />
have a lot of friends there.”<br />
Bush Farm uses a variety of<br />
tools on its programmes such<br />
as sensory awareness, self-care,<br />
quiet mind, autonomy, co-operation,<br />
empathy, interdependence,<br />
pattern detection, singing and<br />
storytelling. The school ensures<br />
learners are connected to themselves,<br />
their community and<br />
their environment in a way that<br />
empowers them to act as kaitiaki<br />
and future problem-solvers.<br />

Safety measures for Tennyson St<br />
• By Natalie Pham<br />
PEDESTRIAN improvements<br />
will finally happen on a busy<br />
street between St Martins and<br />
Beckenham.<br />
In the latest joint meeting,<br />
the Waikura Linwood-Central-<br />
Healthcote and the Waihoro<br />
Spreydon-Cashmere community<br />
boards approved changes to<br />
improve pedestrian safety at<br />
Tennyson St near its intersection<br />
with Norwood St.<br />
Improvements include<br />
installing no stopping lines,<br />
increasing space in the centre of<br />
the traffic island, incorporating<br />
vertical traffic calming and<br />
red coloured surfacing, and<br />
incorporating an island on the<br />
south side of Tennyson St to<br />
increase visibility and reduce the<br />
crossing distance.<br />
However, residents who<br />
wanted a zebra crossing will not<br />
get it.<br />
Abley engineers assessed the<br />
area and found the site did not<br />
meet the criteria for a zebra<br />
crossing, due to the recorded<br />
speed being just over 50km/h<br />
(52.9km/h). The conclusion<br />
was based on Waka Kotahi<br />
pedestrian network guidance,<br />
a process for determining<br />
appropriate mid-block crossing<br />
types.<br />
Senior transportation engineer<br />
Gemma Dioni noted that<br />
children assumed they had the<br />
right of way on a zebra crossing<br />
and stepped onto it without<br />
checking first.<br />
If the crossing was<br />
implemented, it could lead to “a<br />
collision between the pedestrian<br />
and a vehicle with serious<br />
consequence”.<br />
The danger posed by crossing<br />
the road had been a concern<br />
among the local community for<br />
many years.<br />
“It has taken far too long to get<br />
to this point,” primary school<br />
Beckenham Te Kura o Puroto<br />
chair Matthew McDonald said.<br />
He said it was a “minor<br />
miracle” no death or injured had<br />
occurred.<br />
A former student at<br />
Beckenham Te Kura o Pūroto<br />
said she used to cross the street<br />
with her young sister everyday.<br />
Now, as she is leaving for high<br />
school, she is concerned about<br />
the safety of her sister.<br />
“It’s really unsafe. It’s our<br />
least favourite part of the day,”<br />
IMPROVEMENT:<br />
Changes will<br />
be made on<br />
Tennyson St<br />
to improve<br />
pedestrian<br />
safety.<br />
she said.<br />
“I just feel very unsafe leaving<br />
her to cross by herself now.”<br />
The two community boards<br />
also requested city council staff<br />
monitor the impacts of the safety<br />
improvements, seek community<br />
feedback, and report the results<br />
12 months after implementation.<br />
Heathcote Ward councillor<br />
Sara Templeton was pleased<br />
the improvements would be<br />
completed before the start of the<br />
next school year.<br />
Volunteers<br />
needed for<br />
Daffodil Day<br />
THE CANCER Society is seeking<br />
more volunteers to help with<br />
its local Daffodil Day street<br />
collection next Friday, <strong>August</strong> 26<br />
and Saturday, <strong>August</strong> 27.<br />
Cancer Society Canterbury-<br />
West Coast division fundraising<br />
manager Heather Locke said the<br />
organisation is excited to be able<br />
to get out and about this year,<br />
after the nationwide lockdown<br />
forced the cancellation of last<br />
year’s street appeal.<br />
“Every day 71 New Zealanders<br />
are diagnosed with cancer, so<br />
everybody knows somebody who<br />
has been impacted,” Locke said.<br />
“Volunteering for a couple<br />
of hours on Daffodil Day is a<br />
really great way to support the<br />
thousands of New Zealanders<br />
living with cancer.”<br />

bringing its total commitment<br />
over the last three years to<br />
$75,000.<br />
Trust chair, Dr David Bowie,<br />
who recently met with the Rotary<br />
Clubs to accept the cheque<br />
on behalf of the service, says this<br />
commitment from organisations<br />
like Rotary is vital for the ongoing<br />
service.<br />
“Each year the trust needs to<br />
raise at least $3 million and the<br />
need for this life-saving service<br />
increases year on year. The crew<br />
have been inspired by the community<br />
who have continued to<br />
offer sponsorships and support<br />
during these challenging times,”<br />
he said.<br />
The New Zealand Flying Doctor<br />
Service was tasked to 1070<br />
missions across the country last<br />
year, and is on track to surpass<br />
that number, with 580 missions<br />
in the first six months of <strong>2022</strong>.<br />
With four planes and bases in<br />
Christchurch and Nelson, the<br />
air ambulance upped its criticalcare<br />
patient transfer services between<br />
hospitals across the South<br />
Island including the Chatham<br />
Islands, and also further afield to<br />
Starship in Auckland, Taranaki<br />
and Wellington.<br />
“We started the year with over<br />
New Zealand Flying Doctor Service Christchurch base<br />
crew, (from left to right) – Warrick, Abby, Kim, Sarah, Arthur,<br />
Shane, and David with the latest cheque from Christchurch<br />
Rotary Club.<br />
100 missions in January, and this<br />
number was surpassed in May<br />
with 110 missions,” he says.<br />
As a flying intensive care unit<br />
with highly trained medical staff<br />
and specialist equipment, patients<br />
receive a seamless level of<br />
care from bed to bed. The service<br />
operates day and night transferring<br />
critical care burn victims,<br />
spinal injury patients, neonatal<br />
transfers, trauma victims, surgery<br />
transfers, organ delivery,<br />
blood or equipment supplies.<br />
The NZFD Trust helps support<br />
the operational costs of the<br />
service, including the purchase<br />
of specialised equipment and<br />
training.<br />
Club president, Charlie Rattray<br />
says the Rotary Club of Christchurch<br />
is delighted to have been<br />
able to support the New Zealand<br />
Flying Doctor Service for three<br />
years in a row.<br />
“We have a strong link and<br />
proud association with this<br />
wonderful service,” he said<br />
Resealing will take place<br />
on Moorhouse Ave<br />
• From page 1<br />
The intersection upgrade<br />
will take about two months to<br />
complete and is part of a bigger<br />
project of work the council is<br />
doing to install peak-hour bus<br />
lanes on Lincoln Rd to improve<br />
the reliability of bus services<br />
to and from the fast-growing<br />
south-west of Christchurch.<br />
Contractors are also replacing<br />
an ageing water main underneath<br />
Lincoln Rd.<br />
“We know that road works<br />
are disruptive, particularly for<br />
local businesses, so we have our<br />
contractors working on several<br />
projects, day and night, so that<br />
we can get out of peoples’ way<br />
sooner,’’ Ellis said.<br />
“Because of the high volume<br />
of traffic that use the Lincoln<br />
Rd, Barrington St, Whiteleigh<br />
Ave intersection, we are going to<br />
upgrade the intersection in three<br />
stages, beginning on Monday.<br />
“Our contractor will start by<br />
doing some low impact work,<br />
but from <strong>August</strong> 29 we will need<br />
to put lane reductions in place<br />
so that they can safely complete<br />
relocating the underground services<br />
and building the new kerbs<br />
and footpaths.<br />
“At the end of September we<br />
will need to fully close the intersection<br />
for three days so that<br />
the raised safety platform can<br />
be installed and the intersection<br />
approaches resurfaced. We will<br />
provide more details about this<br />
RESTRICTIONS: Night work<br />
will be carried out on the<br />
intersection of Lincoln Rd<br />
and Moorhouse Ave for<br />
resealing.<br />
closure and the detours that will<br />
be in place closer to the time,’’<br />
Ellis says.<br />
“We also want people to be<br />
aware that we will be resealing<br />
parts of Lincoln Rd and Moorhouse<br />
Ave in the second half of<br />
September. This work will be<br />
done at night but it will require<br />
us to restrict traffic on Lincoln<br />
Rd, between Whiteleigh Ave and<br />
Moorhouse Ave, to one-way citybound<br />
only.’’<br />
During the day, Lincoln Rd<br />
will re-open to two-way traffic.<br />
“If you are going to be<br />
travelling on Lincoln Rd or in<br />
the Addington area over the<br />
next couple of months please be<br />
aware that you might encounter<br />
road works and factor a little<br />
extra journey time into your<br />
day,’’ Ellis said.<br />

Clear direction for young entrepreneurs<br />
Chance to<br />
win national<br />
business<br />
competition<br />
• By Natalie Pham<br />
TWO YOUNG entrepreneurs<br />
are hoping to earn a spot in<br />
the regional final of a national<br />
business competition.<br />
Cashmere High School<br />
students George Ladley and<br />
Max Gardiner, both 17, are the<br />
brains behind Vision – the sole<br />
sustainable anti-fogging spray in<br />
New Zealand.<br />
The pair is currently in the<br />
fourth challenge of the Young<br />
Enterprise Scheme, where they<br />
have to submit evidence of two<br />
different ways they have sold<br />
their products.<br />
This one-year programme<br />
requires students to complete<br />
five challenges before proceeding<br />
to the regional final, where top<br />
teams will pitch to a panel of<br />
judges to be selected as a regional<br />
champion.<br />
The winning teams will then<br />
compete in the national final for<br />
a share of more than $20,000 in<br />
prize money.<br />
Both students have sold more<br />
than 60 bottles to people across<br />
New Zealand via their website.<br />
ENTERPRISING: George Ladley (left) and Max Gardiner<br />
with Vision anti-fogging spray<br />
“We also did a sales pitch to<br />
our staff at school and got over<br />
20 sales just from that alone,”<br />
Max said.<br />
“It gave us a big boost in<br />
confidence.”<br />
The business idea of Vision<br />
came from their first-hand<br />
experiences of foggy glasses<br />
during mountain biking. But<br />
it was not until the Covid-19<br />
pandemic, when the duo<br />
observed the rise in foggy glasses<br />
through wearing a mask, that<br />
they decided to bring this idea<br />
to life.<br />
Aware of the harmful chemical<br />
ingredients existing in common<br />
anti-fogging sprays, they started<br />
experimenting with three<br />
ingredients: water, detergent and<br />
isopropyl alcohol.<br />
“We took our head of<br />
chemistry’s ideas for the formula<br />
and played around with ratio<br />
until one of them worked,” Max<br />
said.<br />
“It was a breakthrough!”<br />
The pair also decided to<br />
use glass bottles as packaging<br />
to make their product more<br />
sustainable.<br />
“We found out that it doesn’t<br />
matter where we store the spray,”<br />
he said.<br />
“If we can use glass and make<br />
it more sustainable, then why<br />
not? “<br />
With the core value of “giving<br />
people vision,” the company<br />
is donating 50c from every<br />
bottle sold to The Fred Hollows<br />
Foundation.<br />

COMMITTED: Dave Bryce uses his spare time to co-ordinate restorating<br />
Drayton Reserve.<br />

Living sustainably:<br />
Every bit counts<br />
FOR DAVE Bryce, one of the secrets to<br />
living a healthier and longer life is getting<br />
down in the dirt.<br />
At 74, Bryce has been working to live<br />
as sustainably as possible for the past 20<br />
years.<br />
“My wife and I are trying to live as sustainably<br />
as we can by providing for most of<br />
our needs through nature.<br />
“We grow trees for firewood, eat from<br />
our garden, and heat our house from the<br />
sun.<br />
“We’ve found that working with plants<br />
and trees is important. There’s bacteria<br />
on them and in the soil that interact with<br />
our own microbiomes and stimulate our<br />
endorphins.<br />
“We feel good and it keeps us healthier<br />
and more resilient,” he said.<br />
As a volunteer, Bryce uses his spare time<br />
to co-ordinate the restoration of Drayton<br />
Reserve, a former pastoral farm that sits<br />
below his home on Mt Pleasant.<br />
“Scientists have said that 50 per cent of<br />
the earth’s surface needs to be returned<br />
back to its original ecosystems if the human<br />
species is to survive, so we are totally<br />
dependent on that happening and we’re<br />
working on doing it here,” he said.<br />
“There are many benefits to working<br />
with nature and every time you go into the<br />
reserve, there is something new to learn<br />
about the interactions between the plants,<br />
bird-life, insects and fish.”<br />
Bryce has organised volunteers to work<br />
in Drayton Reserve since 2016 and estimates<br />
they have planted about 8000 trees.<br />
“We’ve been doing this for six years and<br />
are in our seventh planting season. We<br />
try to put in a thousand trees a year, but it<br />
usually ends up being more than that.<br />
“We have 200 people on our email list,<br />
and 10 to 20 regulars. We’re always looking<br />
for more people who are keen to get<br />
involved, whether it be individuals, businesses<br />
or school groups.<br />
“All of our trees are eco-sourced, provided<br />
by the [city] council, and we get them<br />
right here in Christchurch from Trees for<br />
Canterbury.”<br />
Bryce keeps the group growing with<br />
regular working bees and newsletters.<br />
He has also been involved with the creation<br />
of the Eco Kiwi Pledges, a joint effort<br />
with the Redcliffs Residents’ Association,<br />
which lists ways people can reduce their<br />
carbon emissions and improve biodiversity.<br />
While planting trees and looking after<br />
the reserve takes up a lot of Bryce’s spare<br />
time, he is also a keen gardener, growing<br />
more than 100 edible species in his garden.<br />
From grapes and guava to broccoli and<br />
bananas, Bryce has attempted to grow it<br />
all.<br />
“We love having our own garden and it<br />
means we can reuse our waste, we don’t<br />
have to go out and buy fruits and vegies,<br />
and we’re integrating with our own ecosystem.<br />
“Anyone can start getting a garden<br />
growing. You can simply start by growing<br />
micro greens on your kitchen bench.<br />
“I recommend starting off small. Things<br />
like lettuces are great as they grow all year<br />
round. Or peas and broad beans are also<br />
quite easy.<br />
“Every little bit counts and anything can<br />
be helpful. We need to learn to live within<br />
nature if we want to survive on this planet,<br />
everyone can do it,” said Bryce.<br />

RD Petroleum (RDP) is a familiar sight<br />
for farm and rural residents around the<br />
Canterbury region, however now days urban<br />
residents also enjoy the same excellent<br />
customer service for which RDP is known for<br />
in rural communities, through their home<br />
heating diesel.<br />
RDP began its home heating diesel delivery<br />
service to the lower South Island’s main urban<br />
centres of Christchurch, Timaru, Dunedin<br />
and Invercargill a number of years ago.<br />
Customer demand has continued to increase<br />
year upon year, and RDP has responded<br />
with specialised improvements to its delivery<br />
equipment.<br />
The trucks that deliver RDP’s home heating<br />
diesel in each urban centre are drawn from<br />
the company’s extensive vehicle fleet. This<br />
means they have the latest communication<br />
and GPS tracking technology on board, so<br />
the operations team always know where they<br />
are and how far away they are from their next<br />
delivery stop.<br />
RDP’s home heating diesel trucks come<br />
equipped with a specially-designed hose,<br />
through which the diesel is pumped from<br />
the truck into house tanks. The length of<br />
the hose allows the trucks to access tanks<br />
without having to enter the property, avoiding<br />
damaging the driveway. RDP is the place to<br />
go if you require diesel conveniently delivered<br />
to your home and as a loyal RDP customer<br />
you’re offered discounted pricing and can<br />
become eligible for value-added benefits.<br />

The importance<br />
of air quality<br />
The quality of the air we breathe affects<br />
our health and ability to perform. We<br />
breathe in and out approximately 20,000<br />
litres of air every day. It is therefore very<br />
important to ensure good air quality<br />
indoors through adequate ventilation.<br />
Ventilation is the process of air exchange<br />
to provide the necessary air quality that<br />
meets the needs of the occupants for clean,<br />
fresh air. Low oxygen with high carbon<br />
dioxide causes stuffiness in the room<br />
and occupants can feel drowsy. Invisible<br />
harmful substances like a high content<br />
of dust and tobacco smoke are harmful<br />
and can cause various diseases. Even bad<br />
smells can cause discomfort or irritate<br />
the nervous system. In summer, it’s easy<br />
to open windows for cross ventilation,<br />
however as winter approaches, we start to<br />
shut up out houses to trap in the heat and<br />
as a result, air quality can decline.<br />
Ventilation includes both<br />
the exchange of air to the<br />
outside as well as circulation<br />
of air within the building. It<br />
is one of the most important<br />
factors for maintaining<br />
acceptable indoor air quality<br />
in buildings. Filtered air<br />
supply for summer and<br />
filtered and warmed air in<br />
winter creates a healthy<br />
environment in which to<br />
live and work. In cases<br />
with poor or insufficient air<br />
intake from outside, the oxygen content<br />
decreases, humidity and dustiness levels<br />
increase. If exhaust ventilation is not<br />
provided or it is not effective, polluted air,<br />
smells, humidity and harmful substances<br />
are not removed.<br />
To ensure the quality of your air, contact<br />
the experts. Smooth-Air Products can<br />
calculate the required air exchange for your<br />
building requirement. Smooth-Air offers<br />
a wide range of ventilation equipment,<br />
from air vents to ducting for fans, for both<br />
the commercial and domestic markets.<br />
They have an extensive range of fans and<br />
ventilation components in-store but they<br />
can also provide innovative solutions<br />
tailored to differing requirements.<br />
