Commonwealth Games<br />
logo back on grandstand<br />
• By Fiona E lis<br />
THE NAVY and red logo was a staple of Christchurch’s 1974<br />
Commonwealth Games.<br />
Forty-eight years later, it can once again be seen at<br />
Hornby’s Denton Park, where the games’ cycling events took<br />
place at the velodrome. • Turn to page 4<br />

Garden,<br />
pantry<br />
on the<br />
move<br />
• By Fiona E lis<br />
CURRENTLY thriving in<br />
peak season, this summer will<br />
be the last in Peverel St for the<br />
Riccarton Community Garden<br />
and Pātaka.<br />
However, Nick Te Paa (right)<br />
is staying positive abou the<br />
move that wi l be required<br />
when the lease on the 151<br />
Peverel St site expires in September.<br />
Te Paa and his wife Loretta<br />
helped set up the community<br />
garden in 2013, later expanding<br />
the projec to include a community<br />
pantry, or pātaka.<br />
At not quite 4 sq m, the<br />
pātaka was too sma l for the<br />
weekly average of about 40<br />
people it helped to feed, Te Paa<br />
said.<br />
“We don’t have the capacity<br />
to store here, so a lot of the stuff<br />
is stored at my place, in the<br />
garage.”<br />
He hoped to rebuild it at<br />
twice the current size when a<br />
new location was settled on.<br />
“A l that extra wi l be just<br />
storage space, and that’ l<br />
free up my garage. One side’s<br />
completely taken up with food.”<br />
The end of the Kāinga Ora<br />
lease was likely to mean the<br />
separation of the garden and<br />
the pantry.<br />

Community<br />
patrol<br />
tasked with<br />
monitoring<br />
dangerous<br />
intersections<br />
• By Fiona E lis<br />
A VOLUNTEER community<br />
patrol has been tasked with<br />
policing dangerous intersections<br />
in a bid to improve driver<br />
behaviour.<br />
The Hornby Community<br />
Patrol has been monitoring three<br />
intersections, including one where<br />
a cyclist died after co liding with a<br />
truck.<br />
Patrol<br />
secretary Ann<br />
Smith said<br />
the patrol had<br />
been tasked<br />
by police with<br />
focusing on the<br />
three locations,<br />
including the<br />
intersection of<br />
Shands and Halswell<br />
Junction Rds, where cyclist<br />
Russell Ramsden was ki led last<br />
May.<br />
The Buchanans and Carmen<br />
Rds intersection was also being<br />
monitored, along with the<br />
Main South and Springs Rds<br />
intersection.<br />
This is part of a steady but<br />
quiet summer for the 45-member<br />
volunteer team, who patrol<br />
between five and six times per<br />
week.<br />
Simply being seen made a<br />
difference, Smith said.<br />
