LOW RISK: A city council report recommended several changes to the Mairehau and Inwoods Rds intersection but the community board opted to<br />

leave it as it is.<br />

No changes for busy<br />

Parklands intersection<br />

• By Natalie Pham<br />

SAFETY improvements will not<br />

be made at a busy intersection<br />

in Parklands.<br />

Waitai Coastal-Burwood<br />

Community Board members<br />

debated whether to approve several<br />

proposed improvements at<br />

the Mairehau Rd and Inwoods<br />

Rd intersection.<br />

But the majority of board<br />

members opted to maintain the<br />

status quo, in spite of objections<br />

voiced by members Celeste<br />

Donovan and Bebe Frayle.<br />

City council staff recommended<br />

changing the lane<br />

marking, kerb alignment,<br />

island and road surface. Staff<br />

also noted the presence of two<br />

approach lanes added risk for<br />

pedestrians.<br />

But community board<br />

chair Kelly Barber said the<br />

majority of residents did not<br />

want the changes. “Our job<br />

is to look at the city council’s<br />

recommendation and listen to<br />

the community’s feedback,” he<br />

said.<br />

The project will now be<br />

considered in the future city<br />

council annual or long term<br />

plans. One of the main concerns<br />

from residents was over the<br />

proposal to merge the two exit<br />

lanes on Inwoods Rd into one.<br />

Board member Phil Mauger<br />

seconded the motion to not<br />

approve the changes, stating he<br />

would be “snarly” at the location<br />

of the proposed island if he was<br />

a bus driver.<br />

Mitre 10 MeGA FerryMeAd lends A<br />

HelpinG HAnd – prOJeCt plAyGrOUnd!<br />

A brand new adventure playground has given South New Brighton<br />

School another reason to celebrate as it marks its centenary<br />

this year, with the support of Mitre 10 Helping Hands - Project<br />

Playground.<br />

Established in 1922, the school in the coastal east of Christchurch<br />

with approximately 500 students, has long been at the heart of a<br />

vibrant community hit hard by a series of events.<br />

The Christchurch earthquakes forced many families to relocate out<br />

of the area after their homes were red zoned, and caused the loss<br />

of the joint Council and school hall and other facilities. After a long<br />

wait, the rebuild of the school hall was to begin in 2020, when an<br />

electrical fire destroyed a block of five classrooms, a library and<br />

resource rooms.<br />

The school’s Project Playground submission described the state of<br />

the school’s existing play equipment as “dismal, however, any hope<br />

of upgrading the playground area had to be put on hold while<br />

classroom and hall design, plan and build were prioritised.<br />

Principal Sue Walls said: “Seeing your school injured in that way is<br />

difficult for people and it takes a long time to repair and recover.<br />

To have something new around the school feels like the rebuilding<br />

is starting to happen after 10 years, that we’re starting to get some<br />

positive things happening.<br />

“We’re a real community here and the wider community uses our<br />

playground during the weekends and holidays, so the school is<br />

really the hub. We’re a fair distance from another playground so to<br />

have one that people can come to with the whole family is special.”<br />

Despite Covid disruption and manufacturing delays, the playground<br />

opened early on Friday 17 June to the delight of students and<br />

teachers alike, with Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead, who also helped with<br />

demolition and the new fence build, putting on a sausage sizzle for<br />

the long anticipated opening celebration.<br />

Special thanks to The Playground People for their hard work and<br />

dedication to the ‘Project Playground’ builds.<br />

Businesses pitch in for patrol car<br />

BURWOOD <strong>Pegasus</strong><br />

Community Watch has a new<br />

set of wheels thanks to the<br />

generosity of local businesses.<br />

The community watch group,<br />

which comes under the umbrella<br />

of the Community Patrols New<br />

Zealand, has been patrolling a<br />

large area of the city’s eastern<br />

suburbs for the last 27 years.<br />

President Diane Dixey, who<br />

has been with the group for <strong>25</strong><br />

years, said it works closely with<br />

police to report any suspicious<br />

activity requiring their attention.<br />

“We patrol residential,<br />

business, and industrial<br />

areas, parks, schools, shopping<br />

areas, rest homes, hospital,<br />

sports clubs and pools to deter<br />

or identify criminal activity,” she<br />

said.<br />

“We’re always on the lookout<br />

for stolen vehicles or stolen<br />

property and for missing<br />

persons.”<br />

After a rise in reports of arson,<br />

the group expanded its patrol<br />

area to include Bottle Lake<br />

Forest – which is owned and<br />

managed by Rayonier Matariki<br />

Forests.<br />

Rayonier Matariki Forests<br />

general manager of operations<br />

Mark Grover said arson<br />

attempts have dropped since the<br />

community watch group started<br />

regular patrols.<br />

“[The group] have also come<br />

across an injured cyclist and<br />

located lost children and dogs.<br />

We’re very thankful for their<br />

cash and services to get the<br />

community watch’s new car on<br />

the road and maintain it. The<br />

community watch is looking for<br />

“Some people only stay for a<br />

short time and others have been<br />

She also said six of their<br />

members had joined the police<br />

after getting a good grounding<br />

with the group.<br />

Traffic lights<br />

could cost<br />

$750,000<br />

•From page 1<br />

Some residents said a<br />

roundabout or traffic lights would<br />

be a better solution.<br />

Board member Linda Stewart<br />

agreed: “I’d rather go straight for<br />

the light than bits and pieces that<br />

are really just bandages.<br />

“We’re going to make a decision,<br />

make one that is going to work for<br />

the long term because Mairehau is<br />

a really busy road,” she said.<br />

While Frayle was in favour of the<br />

signalised intersection, she said the<br />

board needs to be “realistic” about<br />

what they can achieve.<br />

The project was prompted last<br />

year after residents raised concerns<br />

about drivers failing to stop at<br />

the stop sign when turning from<br />

Inwoods Rd into Mairehau Rd.<br />

In 2018, a refuge island was built<br />

on Mairehau Rd after feedback<br />

from the community highlighted<br />

the safety issues and barrier to pedestrians<br />

due to the long crossing<br />

distance.<br />

Said city council traffic engineer<br />

Gautham Praburam: “Implementation<br />

of a roundabout or traffic signals<br />

would be considerably more<br />

expensive than what is proposed.”<br />

Traffic signals are estimated to<br />

cost about $500,000 to $750,000.<br />

The report also noted that the<br />

risk at the intersection is too low to<br />

warrant traffic lights.<br />

We have been very<br />

fortunate to fill all of the<br />

vacant positions on the Haeata Community Campus Board. Our congratulations to<br />

newly elected Kelley Gibson, Irihapiti Mahuika, and re-elected Rebecca Wilkinson<br />

and Ryan Wilson. We are grateful for your support of our kura!<br />

On Friday, 19 <strong>August</strong> <strong>2022</strong> Years 11, 12 and 13 enjoyed themselves at the Senior<br />

Formal. It was a wonderful occasion and a right of passage for our rangitahi. Our<br />

thanks go to the plethora of sponsors, including Programmed Maintenance, Cyclone,<br />

Wainoni Pak N Save, New World Prestons, Glam for the Gram, Rangiora Bakery<br />

and Anglea from Ricoh, all of whom gave so generously to support our rangatahi.<br />

As we begin Week 6 of Term 3 I notice a real fatigue setting in amongst Kaimahi<br />

and ākonga alike. Term 3 is traditionally the hardest term due to high workloads<br />

for senior students, challenging weather and a high absenteeism across the kura. If<br />

whānau need assistance at this time please make contact with the kura to ensure we<br />

are aware. Spring officially begins on Thursday, 1st September <strong>2022</strong> and hopefully<br />

we will see an improvement in the weather and the number of sunshine hours<br />

during the day.<br />

Cell phones continue to be a problem at kura and are contributing to many of<br />

the problems faced by our rangatahi. Cyber bullying continues to erode many of<br />

the relationships they form at kura and often results in negative and unwanted<br />

behaviours during the school day. I have included here the key messages we are<br />

currently consulting on for our updated Cell Phone policy. We are keen for your<br />

feedback.<br />

• Cell phones are prohibited from use in classrooms and any other area in which<br />

academic work is being done unless otherwise instructed by the teacher.<br />

• Headphones and other Bluetooth enabled devices are not permitted to be worn<br />

in class and must be put away securely by the student in any academic area.<br />

• Cell phones are not to be used in bathrooms.<br />

• Once inside the school, students must store their cell phones/electronic<br />

devices in a location that is not visible to the teacher or other students, even<br />

though they are on SILENT. It is the student’s responsibility to keep their<br />

device(s) secure.<br />

• If a cell phone/electronic device rings, vibrates, or is used for any reason without<br />

teacher permission, or is visible anytime during class time or if a student is caught<br />

using it on campus during class time, a staff member may confiscate the device<br />

and a whānau member may come and pick it up.<br />

• Under no circumstance is voice recording, photographing or video recording<br />

allowed anywhere on the school campus.<br />

• Texting and cell phone use is permitted during the lunch breaks in the cafeteria.<br />

• All cell phone use must be respectful and non-disruptive to students and staff.<br />

• Phones must remain on silent at all times throughout the school day.<br />

• Whānau, please note you can contact your ākonga via their cell phone during the<br />

lunch breaks<br />

• In the event of an immediate emergency, please call the school’s main office on<br />

03 930 0110<br />

• The staff of Haeata Community Campus requests your FULL cooperation with<br />

our policy.<br />

• It should be noted that, the school nor any of its employees are responsible for<br />

the loss or damage to any student’s phone or electronic device whether that<br />

device is in the student’s possession or confiscated by the staff.<br />

• It is the responsibility of the student to adhere to this policy and to secure his or<br />

her belongings at all times. Classes and or instruction will not be stopped to deal<br />

with or search for lost phones/devices.<br />

SLOW DOWN: The Cowes St and Orrick Cres roundabout was put in to stop<br />

vehicles doing burnouts.<br />

Roundabout to<br />

stop burnouts<br />

could stay<br />

• By Natalie Pham<br />

A TEMPORARY roundabout in Avondale<br />

has proven to be effective at preventing<br />

burnouts.<br />

The roundabout at Cowes St and Orrick<br />

Cres was put in by the city council to<br />

determine if it could stop cars performing<br />

burnouts.<br />

If the trial proves successful, the<br />

roundabout could stay.<br />

The modular roundabout also includes<br />

speed humps, no parking lines, traffic<br />

separators and flexi posts.<br />

Waitai Coastal-Burwood Community<br />

Board chairman Kelly Barber said he<br />

has not received any complaints from<br />

residents about burnouts.<br />

“Hearing from the people that I<br />

know, the roundabout has been effective,”<br />

he said.<br />

“I am sure that people will contact me if<br />

anything happens.”<br />

However, Barber said some residents<br />

are concerned the problem might move to<br />

another location.<br />

Construction of the roundabout started<br />

in late July and finished on <strong>August</strong> 12.<br />

It was part of the city council’s Slow<br />

Speed Neighbourhoods programme.<br />

Public consultation on the Avondale<br />

project was open from November<br />

to December last year. It received 62<br />

submissions.<br />

Residents highlighted issues with<br />

driver behaviour issues around the area,<br />

particularly at the Cowes St and Orrick<br />

Cres intersection.<br />

Sparks performance<br />

a night to remember<br />

• By Emily Moorhouse<br />

VIOLINIST ARNA Morton<br />

has grown up with the Sparks<br />

concert – only this time<br />

around things looked a little<br />

different.<br />

Morton traded the view of<br />

the stage for the view of the<br />

audience as she performed<br />

with the Christchurch<br />

Symphony Orchestra at<br />

Saturday night’s Sparks in<br />

North Hagley Park.<br />

Although performing<br />

at Sparks was a firs time<br />

experience for Morton,<br />

she said the concert went<br />

rea ly well and had a great<br />

atmosphere.<br />

“I was just so excited to be<br />

back performing together<br />

with the band,” she said.<br />

“Obviously last year we had<br />

a lot of disruptions so it was<br />

nice to have everyone get back<br />

into it.”<br />

Even after playing the<br />

violin since she was five, the<br />

coastal area resident said<br />

it was normal to still get<br />

nervous before a performance,<br />

especia ly for a large crowd.<br />

“There’s this heightened<br />

sense of adrenaline before<br />

you go on stage. I definitely<br />

sti l get nervous, which is<br />

important,” she said. “It’s<br />

about channelling the energy<br />

required for a performance.”<br />

about<br />

Bromley<br />

‘stench’<br />

• By Emily Moorhouse<br />

RESIDENTS LIVING near the<br />

Bromley wastewater treatment<br />

plant have been “coping with the<br />

stench” for weeks now and want<br />

something done to fix it.<br />

The wastewater treatment plant<br />

caught fire in November and has<br />

been emitting an unpleasant sme l<br />

ever since, causing frustration<br />

among residents.<br />

Katinka Visser has lived in<br />

Bromley for 35 years, and said<br />

while the stench hasn’t been as<br />

bad during the new year for her,<br />

she sometimes felt as though she<br />

couldn’t breathe.<br />

“I’ve had three nights that I<br />

virtua ly couldn’t breathe, it was<br />

that bad, there’s like a fog and it’s<br />

just sitting. ’<br />

She said even after putting her<br />

head under the blankets, she<br />

could sti l sme l the stench.<br />

Visser said because the wind<br />

has been coming from a southerly<br />

direction lately, she hasn’t been<br />

experiencing the sme l as strongly,<br />

but knows that residents close by<br />

do.<br />

“I’m so thankful that I’m not<br />

affected as much as most people,”<br />

she said.<br />

“There are people way, way<br />

worse off than me.”<br />

Money<br />

puts hand<br />

up for local<br />

elections<br />

• By Emily Moorhouse<br />

FORMER Coastal-Burwood<br />

chairwoman Kim Money has<br />

made a bid to return to local body<br />

politics, with plans to stand for<br />

council as an independent for the<br />

Coastal Ward.<br />

Celeste Donovan<br />

is the current<br />

Coastal Ward<br />

counci lor and<br />

said it was always<br />

great for democracy<br />

when you<br />

had a choice.<br />

“It’s<br />

encouraging to hear another<br />

woman is standing and there wi l<br />

be others putting up a hand closer<br />

to the election date,” Donovan<br />

said.<br />

Money was the board’s<br />

chairwoman in 2016, but didn’t<br />

stand for re-election in 2019 due<br />

to personal circumstances.<br />

Now she says those<br />

circumstances have changed<br />

and the timing is right for her to<br />

throw her hat back in the arena.<br />

“I’m keen to get back again and<br />

represent this community that I<br />

love so much,” she said. “We really<br />

do need that experience from the<br />

coast sitting a the council table<br />

and I would love to do that for my<br />

community.”<br />

Money said it had been<br />

unfortunate she couldn’t stand<br />

again in 2019 as there were a few<br />

unfinished things she needed to<br />

do. • Turn to page 4<br />

ORTHOPEDICS<br />

AT McMASTER & HEAP<br />

We tackle everything at McMaster & Heap.<br />

We are so fortunate to have a skilled<br />

experienced team of 11 veterinarians who<br />

each have their own area of expertise<br />

whether it be surgery, eyes, dentistry,<br />

chemotherapy, ultrasound and imaging,<br />

medicine… the list goes on.<br />

One of our veterinarians, Lynne, has a<br />

keen interest in surgery, whether it be<br />

abdominal, skin or bone. Most weeks<br />

orthopaedic surgery is performed in our<br />

sterile surgical suite with the dedicated<br />

surgical team. We see many patients for<br />

lameness issues and one of the most<br />

common injuries we see is “Anterior<br />

cruciate ligament rupture ( ACL)”. This is<br />

a very common injury in Athletes and<br />

skiers and also dogs. In the canine patient,<br />

this injury needs to be surgically repaired<br />

for the dog to gain full mobility again,<br />

enjoy life and be pain free. It occurs in any<br />

age dog - an active working dog or an<br />

overweight elderly dog. There are many<br />

surgical procedures out there to repair<br />

this stifle instability but Lynne performs<br />

a procedure TPLO, which has shown to<br />

give better results than many of the other<br />

procedures out there, predicting 90%<br />

return to normal limb function.<br />

Hunter, a 5 year old Crossbred recently had<br />

a TPLO performed due to a chronic ACL<br />

tear. Hunter had been chronically lame<br />

for 2 years and was increasingly worse<br />

with exercise. His hind leg was becoming<br />

weaker and more muscle wasted and he<br />

was unable to enjoy any form of outdoor<br />

activity. His favourite activity was chasing<br />

wheels of anything that moved.<br />

Radiographs were taken of his stifles and<br />

hips and cruciate disease was strongly<br />

suspected. Hunter underwent the knife<br />

so to speak, and so far so good. He is<br />

recuperating well and weight bearing on<br />

his operated leg. Hopefully his return to full<br />

function will be uneventful.<br />

Chester, an adorable 1 year old ginger cat<br />

was seen on a Sunday for a non weight<br />

bearing hind leg lameness. He’d been<br />

missing for 4 days, and arrived home on<br />

3 legs. A nasty infected femoral fracture<br />

was diagnosed on X-rays and he had a<br />

large open wound present too. He was<br />

so brave, purring and rolling around for<br />

tummy tickles through most of the exam,<br />

seemingly not in pain.<br />

The fracture itself was difficult to repair and<br />

the fact it was an open fracture increased<br />

the surgical complication rate and chances<br />

of implant failure. The owner opted for<br />

amputation and Chester breezed through<br />

his surgery today, on waking up he was<br />

back to his cheeky, very cute, happy self.<br />

At McMaster & Heap we offer clients many<br />

options. At the end of the day we aim to<br />

eliminate patient suffering, save lives and<br />

work with clients to decide on the best<br />

outcomes for them and their pets. It is a<br />

team based approach and we are here<br />

to help you in the decision making and<br />

care for your pets as we would our own.<br />

I believe every patient that enters our<br />

practice deserves Gold Star treatment and<br />

the very best veterinary medicine has to<br />

offer. That is and will always be our goal.<br />

Amazing Grace wins songwriting comp<br />

TALENTED: Year 13 student Grace Lawrence was praised<br />

by St Andrew’s College head of music Duncan Ferguson<br />

for her performance on stage.<br />

ST ANDREW’S College head<br />

prefect Grace Lawrence has won<br />

the Play It Strange songwriting<br />

competition.<br />

The year 13 student received<br />

an $8000 New Zealand On Air<br />

‘special tracks’ grant to record<br />

her song and make a music video,<br />

and $1000 from the Rockshop.<br />

The announcement was made<br />

at a special school assembly and<br />

came as a complete surprise for<br />

the top music student.<br />

Grace said she was “in shock”.<br />

“I never expected to win or<br />

even become a finalist, after<br />

already making the finals of this<br />

year’s Play It Strange peace song<br />

competition.<br />

“I’m so happy and very grateful.”<br />

Mike Chunn, former bass<br />

player for Split Enz and chief<br />

executive of Play It Strange, said<br />

Grace was no stranger to the<br />

music awards. She was twice a<br />

finalist in the organisation’s peace<br />

song competition, and a finalist<br />

in the 2021 Lion Foundation<br />

songwriting competition.<br />

“With her winning song this<br />

year Grace has reached an engaging<br />

and varied lyric and musical<br />

standard. She is a natural and her<br />

future is bright.”<br />

The Lion Foundation songwriting<br />

competition is the trust’s<br />

flagship songwriting competition.<br />

It attracted 352 entries this year<br />

from year 9-13 students across<br />

New Zealand. Following the<br />

school presentation, Grace performed<br />

the coming-of-age song,<br />

Differently Now, to the assembled<br />

students and teachers.<br />

“I couldn’t have asked for more<br />

support from my teachers and St<br />

Andrew’s College over the last<br />

five years,” she said.<br />

“They are incredible and I<br />

wouldn’t be able to do it without<br />

them.”<br />

Grace has been a prolific<br />

songwriter on piano and strings,<br />

and utilised synths and drums to<br />

create a more electronic sound,<br />

said St Andrew’s College head of<br />

music Duncan Ferguson.<br />

“We are incredibly proud of<br />

Grace.”<br />

The multi-talented musician,<br />

songwriter and performer has<br />

already achieved great success,<br />

winning the 2021 New Zealand<br />

Chamber Music Contest as a<br />

violinist in the St Andrew’s<br />

College trio Vich Perfect.<br />

She was also concertmaster<br />

of the New Zealand Secondary<br />

Schools’ Orchestra and has<br />

had several lead roles in school<br />

productions.<br />

St Andrew’s College rector<br />

Christine Leighton said Grace’s<br />

creativity is an inspiration for<br />

many students.<br />

“As a head prefect this<br />

year, she has balanced<br />

many responsibilities and<br />

commitments. It was fantastic<br />

to surprise her with this award in<br />

our cultural assembly, which<br />

I know will mean so much to<br />

her.”<br />

The winning song will feature<br />

on the <strong>2022</strong> Play it Strange album.<br />

Grace will perform it at the<br />

annual Play it Strange awards in<br />

Auckland in November.<br />
