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 />

the road and maintain it. The<br />

“Some people only stay for a<br />
short time and others have been<br />
with us for 10 years,” Dixey said.<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 />
