Thursday June 22 2023 3 Push to reduce crime • From page 1 He said the watch was started after building equipment was stolen from a site in the subdivision. The developer sponsored the group and it was then able to buy vests, torches, radios, signage for their vehicles and lights. “The crime went down. It’s a deterrent for criminals to move on and shop somewhere else,” Marsden said. Watch members would call police when they saw a crime being committed or something suspicious. Marsden said the watch would also take notes or record what was happening if they could. “Basically, you see something European Car Owners NEW DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT! We can identify ANY electrical fault & reduce repair work with our NEW European Car Specific Diagnostic Equipment ROSES AUTO ELECTRICAL Enquiries welcome CH 352 5090 happening, you report it,” he said. To get the community watch up and running, it would need sponsorship to pay for equipment. The group would aim to form a “very good” relationship with police. Marsden said the Rolleston watch had cell phone numbers for police so watch members didn’t always have to call 111. “They (police) responded to our urgent calls within 15 minutes.” But Sergeant Anna Partridge encouraged residents to join the established community patrol instead. “We would encourage people BANDING TOGETHER: About 50 Heathcote Valley residents attended a community meeting, to collectively try and tackle crime in their area. to utilise (the) community patrol,” she said. Partridge said patrol volunteers are trained and log on when they start a shift so police know where they are. She said if people joined the existing community patrol it would have a more effective presence in the area. But Marsden said the community watch would only operate in the Heathcote Valley area, while community patrol members cover the wider Christchurch South area. “The community watch, for me, is a way of helping out. It’s not spread out, you’ve got less ground to cover,” he said. the izard Oz Based on the book by L. Frank Baum. Adapted by Doug Clarke.

Much-anticipated clash expected • From page 1 However, it was Cashmere’s resilience which won them the game, after they led 10-5 at halftime. “We were defending our line for probably 20 minutes when they were attacking in the second half,” Jones, who is also the school’s sports director, said. Last year, the Miles Toyota Championship consisted of the top 14 first XV schools in the South Island. Canterbury Rugby cut four teams from the premier grade, and renamed it the Miles Toyota Premiership. The championship became a competition for both first and second XVs. Jones is expecting a close match against Horomaka combined. Horomaka, coached by former Crusader Robbie Fruean, has also been struggling for wins in their first season of school rugby. Said Jones: “They’re in the same boat as us, so it will hopefully be a close game.” Unlike Cashmere, Horomaka are yet to record a win in their first five matches, but lost 10-3 to Roncalli College in their opening game. Cashmere High will host the much-anticipated clash between the new teams on Saturday at 2.45pm. STRONG: Roncalli College lock Luke Jordan proved no match for Cashmere’s defence on Saturday.
