Crashes trigger calls for 

safety at tricky intersection 

• By Susan Sandys 

THE DRIVER of a car 

involved in a crash near 

Halswell at the intersection 

of Ellesmere Rd and Trices 

Rd is calling for it to be 

upgraded. 

There has been another 

two-car crash at the site since, 

resulting in minor injuries. 

Katie McGuire was the 

driver of a car hit by a vehicle 

coming from Trices Rd, 

which then went into a ditch, 

trapping its driver, about 

8.15am on August 3. 

McGuire said the driver of 

that car had gone through 

a give way, at what she estimated 

to be a speed of 70 to 

80km/h. 

“Thankfully we both 

walked away unhurt, other 

than whiplash,” McGuire 

said. 

Lincoln man Cam Downs 

came upon the scene on his 

way to work. He rescued 

the driver who was trapped, 

reaching from the side of the 

ditch to open the driver car 

door and help the young man 

out. 

McGuire said she was 

grateful to Downs and other 

motorists, including nurses 

on their way to work, who 

had stopped and helped.

Commonwealth Games 

logo back on grandstand 

• By Fiona E lis 

THE NAVY and red logo was a staple of Christchurch’s 1974 

Commonwealth Games. 

Forty-eight years later, it can once again be seen at 

Hornby’s Denton Park, where the games’ cycling events took 

place at the velodrome. • Turn to page 4

Garden, 

pantry 

on the 

move 


CURRENTLY thriving in 

peak season, this summer will 

be the last in Peverel St for the 

Riccarton Community Garden 

and Pātaka. 

However, Nick Te Paa (right) 

is staying positive abou the 

move that wi l be required 

when the lease on the 151 

Peverel St site expires in September. 

Te Paa and his wife Loretta 

helped set up the community 

garden in 2013, later expanding 

the projec to include a community 

pantry, or pātaka. 

At not quite 4 sq m, the 

pātaka was too sma l for the 

weekly average of about 40 

people it helped to feed, Te Paa 

said. 

“We don’t have the capacity 

to store here, so a lot of the stuff 

is stored at my place, in the 

garage.” 

He hoped to rebuild it at 

twice the current size when a 

new location was settled on. 

“A l that extra wi l be just 

storage space, and that’ l 

free up my garage. One side’s 

completely taken up with food.” 

The end of the Kāinga Ora 

lease was likely to mean the 

separation of the garden and 

the pantry.

Community 

patrol 

tasked with 

monitoring 

dangerous 

intersections 


A VOLUNTEER community 

patrol has been tasked with 

policing dangerous intersections 

in a bid to improve driver 

behaviour. 

The Hornby Community 

Patrol has been monitoring three 

intersections, including one where 

a cyclist died after co liding with a 

truck. 

Patrol 

secretary Ann 

Smith said 

the patrol had 

been tasked 

by police with 

focusing on the 

three locations, 

including the 

intersection of 

Shands and Halswell 

Junction Rds, where cyclist 

Russell Ramsden was ki led last 

May. 

The Buchanans and Carmen 

Rds intersection was also being 

monitored, along with the 

Main South and Springs Rds 

intersection. 

This is part of a steady but 

quiet summer for the 45-member 

volunteer team, who patrol 

between five and six times per 

week. 

Simply being seen made a 

difference, Smith said.

New Hornby Centre gifted special name 

NGĀI TŪĀHURIRI has gifted a 

special name – Matatiki – for the 

$39.9 million community facility 

that the city council is building 

in Hornby. 

Lynne Te Aika from Matapopore 

said the gifted name was 

chosen because it reflects the 

unique natural features of the 

city’s south-west – the area the 

new facility will serve. 

“Much of Christchurch gets 

its fresh drinking water from 

the underground aquifers that 

discharge through the Ōpāwaho- 

Heathcote and Ōtākaro-Avon 

Rivers in the Hornby area. 

Matatiki means spring of water 

and represents the importance 

of water as a source of life and 

well-being. 

“Traditionally, the river waters 

A YOUNG trio has won a 

prestigious award at the recent 

NZCT Chamber Music Finale in 

the Auckland. 

The Berlin Trio – featuring talented 

Christ’s College musicians 

Joshua Hooker and Ryan Gu 

– won praise for “phenomenal 

playing of a very virtuosi work” 

in “a committed and bravura 

performance,” the judges said. 

Along with Joshua’s sister, 

Jasmine, a cellist, the trio won 

the Helen Young national second 

place award. The professional 

were central to the way of life 

for mana whenua and an area of 

mahinga kai – an interconnected 

system which produces food and 

sustains life,” Te Aika said. 

Matapopore developed the cultural 

narrative and facilitated the 

gifting of the name from Ngāi 

Tūāhuriri to the city council. 

The Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton 

Community Board 

will be formally asked to accept 

the name on behalf of the city 

council, and the 4000 square 

metre community facility will 

be officially known as Matatiki: 

Hornby Centre. 

This follows the naming 

convention of other city council 

facilities like Te Pou Toetoe: 

Linwood Pool and Te Hāpua: 

Halswell Centre. 

performance has also been recorded 

by Radio New Zealand. 

There were 380 ensembles vying 

for a spot in the finale, but only 

eight groups were selected. 

At just 14, pianist Ryan, of Riccarton, 

is already highly skilled 

while Joshua, 16, of Burnside, is 

a violinist of equally rare talent. 

In spite of their youth, both boys 

hold a Licentiate of Music from 

Trinity College, London, with 

distinction. Joshua also has attained 

LTCL in piano. 

The boys said it had not been an 

City council head of recreation, 

sports and events Nigel Cox 

said the name is fitting for the 

new facility as it will be a source 

of well-being for people. 

“We are building this new facility 

to serve the growing population 

in the city’s south-west. It 

is going to be a place for people 

to come together to exercise, to 

learn and to play and to connect 

with others,’’ Cox said. 

Construction of the new centre 

began in November 2021 and 

is expected to be completed in 

late 2023. It will incorporate a 

library, customer service area 

and aquatic facilities including a 

multi-purpose lane pool, family 

spa pool, hydrotherapy pool, and 

toddlers’ wet play area. 

It will also have an espresso 

easy journey to the finale: “When 

we first picked up the piece, it 

looked easy. It seemed like it 

could be put together in a month. 

However, we came to realise very 

quickly that would not be the 

case. Preparing any type of music 

to a high level requires hours and 

hours of work and you only play it 

well if you put in the work.” 

As the competition drew 

closer, their hours or preparation 

rapidly climbed – up to about 

14 hours a week. But once they 

walked onto the stage, they felt 

bar, a creative activities room, 

and multi-purpose rooms for 

meeting and quiet study. 

The design of the new facility 

relaxed and ready. 

“I thoroughly enjoyed myself,” 

Joshua said. “We took on board 

and the landscaping will 

incorporate ideas encapsulated 

in the cultural narrative 

developed by Matapopore.

Rotary raises $75,000 for 

NZ Flying Doctor Service 

THE ROTARY Club of 

Christchurch has donated 

$25,000 to the New Zealand 

Flying Doctor Trust this month, 

bringing its total commitment 

over the last three years to 

$75,000. 

Trust chair Dr David Bowie, 

who recently met with the Rotary 

clubs to accept the cheque 

on behalf of the service, says this 

commitment from organisations 

like Rotary is vital for the ongoing 

service. 

“Each year the trust needs to 

raise at least $3 million and the 

need for this life-saving service 

increases year on year. The crew 

have been inspired by the community 

who have continued to 

offer sponsorships and support 

during these challenging times,” 

he said. 

The New Zealand Flying Doctor 

Service was tasked to 1070 

missions across the country last 

year, and is on track to surpass 

that number, with 580 missions 

in the first six months of 2022. 

With four planes and bases in 

Christchurch and Nelson, the 

air ambulance upped its criticalcare 

patient transfer services between 

hospitals across the South 

Island, including the Chatham 

Islands, and also further afield to 

Starship in Auckland, Taranaki 

and Wellington. 

“We started the year with over 

New Zealand Flying Doctor Service Christchurch base 

crew (from left to right) – Warrick, Abby, Kim, Sarah, Arthur, 

Shane, and David with the latest cheque from Christchurch 

Rotary Club. 

100 missions in January, and this 

number was surpassed in May 

with 110 missions,” he said. 

As a flying intensive care unit 

with highly trained medical staff 

and specialist equipment, patients 

receive a seamless level of 

care from bed to bed. The service 

operates day and night transferring 

critical care burn victims, 

spinal injury patients, neonatal 

transfers, trauma victims, surgery 

transfers, organ delivery, 

blood or equipment supplies. 

The NZFD Trust helps support 

the operational costs of the 

service, including the purchase 

of specialised equipment and 

training. 

Club president Charlie Rattray 

said the Rotary Club of Christchurch 

was delighted to have been 

able to support the New Zealand 

Flying Doctor Service for three 

years in a row. 

“We have a strong link and 

proud association with this 

wonderful service,” he said. 

Driver error the 

cause of crashes 

• From page 1 

She was aware of another 

crash at the site, on August 7. 

Police confirmed the crash. 

It happened about 7.10pm, 

involving two cars and resulting 

in minor injuries. 

“It’s only a matter of time 

before someone is killed there, 

so many accidents from people 

failing to realise it is a give way. 

Hopefully the council changes 

the road lay out,” McGuire said. 

Selwyn District Council 

road safety education adviser 

Mike Patterson said crash data 

showed there had been eight 

crashes at the intersection in the 

last 10 years. Driver error was 

the main cause of all of them. 

Contributing factors were 

failing to give way, alcohol, 

speed, or poor handling/ 

judgment. 

“This data reinforces that 

the key factor to reducing 

the chance of crashing at 

intersections is driving to the 

conditions – plan ahead, stay 

alert, slow down, drop back,” 

Patterson said.

Peter who lives with wife Catharine

The village is the perfect base

Peter is originally from Auckland 

and says he is ‘dual coded’. 

He has been going to harness

days of Alexandra Park and Ellerslie 

racecourse events in the 

1960s. 

Catharine, who toured around 

the world with Peter following 

horse racing, is a keen gardener, 

and was brought up in the Isle 

of Thanet, Kent, a county also 

known as ‘the garden of England’. 

She enjoys maintaining her

Peter writes for the magazine 

Breeding Matters, helps keeps 

records on standardbred horse 

bloodlines, and contributes 

to www.classicfamilies.net, 

an information website that 

includes a chronicle of races 

over a 150-year history, not only 

in Australasia, but also North 

America, United Kingdom and 

Europe. 

He says his father’s cousin 

Thayne Green was part-owner of 

champion mare Sunline, a New 

Zealand-bred thoroughbred active 

in the 1990s and early 2000s 

that went on to earn nearly $14 

million in a race career that 

included two Cox Plates. 

Peter’s interest in horses, 

however, goes way back to his 

family’s involvement when 

he was a youngster and could 

hang out at Alexandra Park on 

Saturday afternoons. Often, he’d 

been playing boys cricket in the 

morning. 

One recollection is from the 

mid-1960s, and a meet amongst 

four days of Christmas/New 

Year Auckland Cup Carnivals.

Warm greetings to the Hornby High School 

community. 

In this feature you will notice a focus on the creative 

activities of our students. That’s no coincidence, 

but rather evidence of the tremendous mahi 

that lies behind our vision as ‘he puna auaha, a 

centre of creative excellence’. The evidence for 

the benefits of nurturing creativity in our students 

(in fact, in all of us) has been succinctly captured 

by Professor Peter O’Connor and his co-authors 

from the University of Auckland Centre for the Arts 

and Social Transformation in their October 2020 

paper ‘Replanting Creativity during post-normal 

times’. Creativity is a great vehicle for improving 

engagement, and approaching learning with a 

creativity lens improves learning outcomes and 

wellbeing. 

Good learning also requires good teaching, of course. 

The research of Professor John Hattie shows (without 

any surprise at all) that the teacher makes the biggest 

difference, and our good outcomes are derived from 

skilled teachers who nurture relationships with, and 

who demand the best from, all of our young people. 

We are also getting to the business end of the reform 

of our curriculum and timetable to allow greater 

student ‘voice and choice’, greater variety, for 2023. 

Our aim is to strengthen student engagement and 

achievement still further. All of that is built on our 

vision of creative excellence, and our Manaiakalani 

kaupapa ‘learn create share’ which continues to see 

our students accelerate progress in writing at twice 

national averages. As a kura, and as a kāhui ako, we 

are currently focused on developing and improving 

reading practice for all of our learners across our 

eight schools. The evidence says we are making 

a difference, and that’s what we get up for in the 

morning. 

These are exciting times to be in education.

Prepping for performance 

Actor exultant about London trip 

The trip I took to London recently as part of 

the Shakespeare Globe Centre New Zealand 

Young Shakespeare Company is undoubtedly 

one of the best experiences I have ever had 

in my entire life so far. 

The Globe Theatre, London, where Nadia 

performed. 

Mrs Clark and Mrs Beer had the absolute 

pleasure of going to Little Andromeda 

theatre to see Reminisce!, a one act play 

written and directed by our very own 

Haydon Dickie! 

It was a wonderful show. Haydon wrote 

it early last year and presented it to Little 

Andromeda who put it in their 2022 

programme! He then cast it and a year later 

had its two-night review! 

Amazing and what a display of creative 

excellence! These are the types of life 

I never thought there would be a time in my 

life when Shakespeare brought me to a place 

of such inner peace and true happiness. 

The few weeks I spent working with my 

company and director are something that 

I will treasure forever. I had the chance to 

put together a 55 minute performance of 

King Lear and perform it on the famous 

Globe Theatre Stage! I have learned so many 

unique skills and life lessons from all of my 

tutors and I could not be happier with the 

outcome of my performance. 

I want to extend my thanks to all those who 

assisted me in getting to the Globe Theatre, I 

am very grateful! 

Massive thank you to the Inspire 

Foundation, Dove Trust, Robert Twigg Fund, 

Greater Hornby Residents Association, 

Edward Noven, Helen Parris-Girdlestone, 

Whitebait Media, my parents and family, all 

those that donated via my GiveaLittle page, 

and anyone who anonymously donated 

towards my cause. I would not have been 

able to make it to London without you. 

I cannot thank the staff and whānau from 

Hornby High School enough! Our kura has 

been nothing but supportive of me and my 

goals since I started in Year 7. Hornby will 

always have a special place in my heart as 

the family who nurtured my passions and 

pushed me towards creative excellence. 

outcomes that can result from our work 

with Manaiakalani and our “Learn Create 

Share” approach to learning, an approach 

that values creativity as an important way 

to support learning, passion, and interest. 

He puna auaha, a centre of creative 

excellence. 

Congratulations Haydon. 

Nadia enjoyed her time in London. 

Thank you.

Getting to work with a different set of 

educational tools 

Members of our Tama Mai Saute group spent some time at Christchurch 

South Library ‘makerspace’ creating their own unique T-shirts in 

preparation for their performance at the Aurora Centre at Burnside High 

School which was held on Saturday, July 9. Their performance was as 

captivating as their T-shirts! 

This is just another way in which our Manaiakalani ‘Learn, Create, Share’ 

pedagogy can be seen within our curriculum. We are very proud of all 

that they do. Ka mau te wehi!!! 

We love showcasing the creative work of our students; after 

all our vision, our aspiration, is to be ‘a centre of creative 

excellence. he puna auaha’. 

Take a look at the amazing work of these rangatahi who have 

been selected from Years 7 to 9 to work with professional 

carver Shaun. The students are working on ‘relief’ carvings 

representing the birds of our kāhui – mōhua, riroriro, and 

tīeke. 

This is another example of the ‘Learn Create Share’ pedagogy 

that is the core of our work with the Manaiakalani kaupapa. 

While ‘Learn, Create, 

Share’ is often 

thought of as work 

with digital devices, 

this project again 

shows that it can 

take many forms, 

often not digital in 

nature. As a kura 

we are very mindful 

that we must use 

‘the right tool for the 

job’ with students’ 

learning, and in 

this case the right 

tools are hammers, 

chisels, and rasps. 

The sculptures will 

be treasured for 

years to come and 

will be displayed 

around our kura for 

all to see.

RD Petroleum 

this winter 

Fashion and lifestyle 

workshops focusing on 

menopause at The Hub 

THE HUB Hornby is 

broaching a subject not 

generally promoted within 

the fashion industry – 

menopause. 

On August 25, The 

Hub will host fashion 

and lifestyle workshops 

focusing on menopause. 

Fashion advice will be 

presented to help women 

feel more confident and 

comfortable during a 

time of change in their 

lives. 

While the average age 

for the onset of menopause 

is 51, it can start in women 

in their 40s or younger. 

While this is a natural process, 

it invariably entails 

physical and psychological 

changes. 

Said The Hub’s 

stylist, Vicki McMillan 

(above): “Menopause is a 

challenging time for many 

of my clients who can feel 

overwhelmed 

and at a loss with how 

these hormonal changes 

make them feel. From 

changes in their body 

image, their hair, skin 

texture, and hot flashes, 

the list can go on. 

“There are life adjustments 

you can make, I 

know all about it. 

“People can feel like they 

all of a sudden don’t know 

their bodies. They can 

feel like a square peg in a 

round hole. I want to help 

share some simple fashion 

tips and tricks that can 

help women in our community 

“These workshops are 

designed to start the 

conversation around how 

to feel better in your own 

body and embrace the new 

you.” 

RD Petroleum (RDP) is a familiar sight 

for farm and rural residents around the 

Canterbury region, however now days urban 

residents also enjoy the same excellent 

customer service for which RDP is known for 

in rural communities, through their home 

heating diesel. 

RDP began its home heating diesel delivery 

service to the lower South Island’s main urban 

centres of Christchurch, Timaru, Dunedin 

and Invercargill a number of years ago. 

Customer demand has continued to increase 

year upon year, and RDP has responded 

with specialised improvements to its delivery 

equipment. 

The trucks that deliver RDP’s home heating 

diesel in each urban centre are drawn from 

the company’s extensive vehicle fleet. This 

means they have the latest communication 

and GPS tracking technology on board, so 

the operations team always know where they 

are and how far away they are from their next 

delivery stop. 

RDP’s home heating diesel trucks come 

equipped with a specially-designed hose, 

through which the diesel is pumped from 

the truck into house tanks. The length of 

the hose allows the trucks to access tanks 

without having to enter the property, avoiding 

damaging the driveway. RDP is the place to 

go if you require diesel conveniently delivered 

to your home and as a loyal RDP customer 

you’re offered discounted pricing and can 

become eligible for value-added benefits. 

For all enquiries please phone 

0800 44 00 14, or visit the RDP website at

The importance 

of air quality 

The quality of the air we breathe affects 

our health and ability to perform. We 

breathe in and out approximately 20,000 

litres of air every day. It is therefore very 

important to ensure good air quality 

indoors through adequate ventilation. 

Ventilation is the process of air exchange 

to provide the necessary air quality that 

meets the needs of the occupants for clean, 

fresh air. Low oxygen with high carbon 

dioxide causes stuffiness in the room 

and occupants can feel drowsy. Invisible 

harmful substances like a high content 

of dust and tobacco smoke are harmful 

and can cause various diseases. Even bad 

smells can cause discomfort or irritate 

the nervous system. In summer, it’s easy 

to open windows for cross ventilation, 

however as winter approaches, we start to 

shut up out houses to trap in the heat and 

as a result, air quality can decline. 

Ventilation includes both 

the exchange of air to the 

outside as well as circulation 

of air within the building. It 

is one of the most important 

factors for maintaining 

acceptable indoor air quality 

in buildings. Filtered air 

supply for summer and 

filtered and warmed air in 

winter creates a healthy 

environment in which to 

live and work. In cases 

with poor or insufficient air 

intake from outside, the oxygen content 

decreases, humidity and dustiness levels 

increase. If exhaust ventilation is not 

provided or it is not effective, polluted air, 

smells, humidity and harmful substances 

are not removed. 

To ensure the quality of your air, contact 

the experts. Smooth-Air Products can 

calculate the required air exchange for your 

building requirement. Smooth-Air offers 

a wide range of ventilation equipment, 

from air vents to ducting for fans, for both 

the commercial and domestic markets. 

They have an extensive range of fans and 

ventilation components in-store but they 

can also provide innovative solutions 

tailored to differing requirements. 

Contact Smooth-Air on 

0800 SMOOTH (0800 766 684) to 

ask how they can help you with any 

ventilation requirements.

SH73/75 Christchurch to Akaroa

New safer speed limits 

from 2 September 2022 

Halswell Hall 

Halswell Hall is looking to build a strong Committee 

and skill-based set of connections to ensure the future 

viability of one of the few remaining Community-owned 

facilities in Christchurch. 

The Hall is owned entirely by the Halswell Community 

and we are looking for people who may have an interest 

in the Hall as well as local residents. 

Networking and sharing of information are important 

to ensuring the Hall is able to follow the Governance 

procedures in place and to manage this facility. A broad 

base of local knowledge, local people and local ‘go to’ 

people will give the Community the qualities it needs to 

retain this valuable facility. 

The Committee oversees hire of the facility only; it does 

not run events or functions. However, maintenance of the 

property and facility is a large component of our Strategic 

Plan which we base our budget and Annual Plan on. Hire 

of the facility is adequate to meet our regular outgoings; 

all other “Projects” are paid for through external funding. 

Many hands make light work as we all know and your 

Community Hall is in need of more hands. 

To find out how you may be able to contribute, please 

email halswellhallchch@gmail.com. 

Public Notice 

Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency and Christchurch City Council advise the 

new permanent speed limits announced earlier this year will apply from Friday 

2 September 2022, on State Highways 73/75 Christchurch to Akaroa and State 

Highway 74, Lyttelton, and some Banks Peninsula local roads. 

To help remind drivers of the new speeds there will be temporary electronic signs on the roadside 

and local police will be in the area. 

The changes include more consistent speeds through Halswell, 60km/h over the Hilltop and 

50km/h through Little River to just past Wairewa Marae. 

High-risk 100km/h sections of SH75 will reduce to 80km/h. 

When speeds are safe for the road, simple mistakes are less likely to end in tragedy. 

The setting of the permanent speed limits follows public consultation. 

We thank everyone who provided feedback. 

You can check the new speed limits and locations online. 

Visit www.ccc.govt.nz/speed-limits for local roads 

and www.nzta.govt.nz/chchtoakaroa for highways.
