MAIREHAU, Papanui and<br />

St Albans residents could see<br />

major road works around Innes<br />

Rd later this year.<br />

The city council plans to<br />

renew the deteriorating road<br />

and footpath between Mersey<br />

St and Philpotts Rd outside the<br />

shops. The planned upgrade<br />

would improve the pedestrian<br />

crossings<br />

outside<br />

Mairehau<br />

Primary<br />

School<br />

and St Francis<br />

of Assisi<br />

School and<br />

raise the<br />

zebra crossing<br />

on Innes Rd.<br />

Papanui<br />

Ward city councillor<br />

Victoria Henstock is on the<br />

St Francis of Assisi School<br />

board and said the improvements<br />

would make the area<br />

much safer for pupils.<br />

“I am<br />

particularly<br />

pleased<br />

to see the<br />

upgrades to<br />

the pedestrian<br />

crossings, with<br />

the raised<br />

crossing<br />

making it<br />

more visible to<br />

drivers,” she said.<br />

“It is great to see the<br />

intersection improvements<br />

making it way safer for all road<br />

users and pedestrians.”<br />

Kerb build-outs would<br />

be put in at the Ethne St, Nancy<br />

Ave and Kensington Ave<br />

intersections with<br />

Innes Rd. Central islands<br />

Rd could get some<br />

major upgrades later<br />

this year. Left – The<br />

pedestrian crossing<br />

outside St Francis of<br />

Assisi School could also<br />

be improved.<br />

be replaced. Innes Ward city<br />

councillor Pauline Cotter said<br />

the upgrades are needed.<br />

‘“It will be cone city for a little<br />

while. I know people are a little<br />

tired of road works in the area,<br />

but I want people to remember<br />

to be patient and polite,” she<br />

said.<br />

Community<br />

guardians<br />

back on<br />

patrol from<br />

October<br />

• By Briar Allen<br />

SECURITY PATROLS could<br />

return to New Brighton mall from<br />

October.<br />

The community guardians was<br />

first trialled in 2016. This spring<br />

could be the third time the project<br />

has been run.<br />

The patrols are there to deter<br />

anti-social behaviour and crime.<br />

Coastal Ward<br />

councillor<br />

Celeste Donovan<br />

has secured<br />

city council<br />

funding for the<br />

guardian scheme<br />

for six months<br />

from October.<br />

Celeste<br />

Planning is<br />

Donovan<br />

under way to get<br />

the guardians in place.<br />

“I’ve been hearing feedback<br />

from residents, businesses, and<br />

community groups that people<br />

feel unsafe in the mall with a rise<br />

in some anti-social behaviour,”<br />

Donovan said.<br />

She said community safety was<br />

one of her nine key community<br />

board priorities this term.<br />

“The community guardian pilot<br />

scheme would provide a visible<br />

presence and reassurance to locals<br />

and visitors alike.”<br />

If it is successful, Donovan<br />

said the goal would be to ensure<br />

the trial is funded for a further<br />

two years to support longer term<br />

redevelopment of the mall.<br />

GOVERNMENT FUNDED: The Jobs for Nature scheme has<br />

provided $1.19 billion in Government funding over four<br />

years. Above – Matt preparing a site on the Port Hills ahead<br />

of a volunteer planting day.<br />

PHOTOS: NEWSLINE<br />

Nature work making a difference<br />

THE JOBS for Nature scheme<br />

has provided $1.19 billion in<br />

Government funding over<br />

four years to with an aim to<br />

bring people into nature-based<br />

employment and support skills<br />

training.<br />

Mitch Thorn is one of a<br />

team of five young people<br />

employed through the scheme<br />

by the city council as part of the<br />

Government’s Covid-19 recovery<br />

package.<br />

“It’s been a hell of an<br />

opportunity, we’re really lucky I<br />

reckon,” Mitch said.<br />

“The park rangers have got a<br />

lot of work that needs doing and<br />

being able to have five field crew<br />

put the hours in and get stuff<br />

done on the ground has helped<br />

free them up to work on other<br />

projects that they wouldn’t normally<br />

have the time for, which<br />

increases the conservation gain<br />

from the wider team.”<br />

Alongside him are Matt, Mackenzie,<br />

Hannah and Georgia,<br />

who are all in their twenties.<br />

For 23-year-old, Mackenzie the<br />

variety of her job is a draw card.<br />

Along with pest plant control<br />

and animal control there’s also<br />

planting, maintenance and habitat<br />

restoration on the Port Hills<br />

and Banks Peninsula.<br />

Hannah was a summer<br />

seasonal ranger at Bottle Lake<br />

Forest Park before starting with<br />

Jobs for Nature in February last<br />

year.<br />

She sees a future for herself in<br />

some sort of conservation field<br />

work.<br />

“Everything I’ve been doing is<br />

quite new so I’m still learning all<br />

the different areas,” she said.<br />

Matt was also on a seasonal<br />

summer contract before starting<br />

and welcomed the longer-term<br />

position.<br />

He enjoys wildlife and has<br />

since had opportunities with city<br />

council ecologists to do skink<br />

monitoring and bird counts<br />

around Te Waihora Lake Ellesmere.<br />

“Long-term I want to work<br />

with wildlife in New Zealand.<br />

My wife is from Zimbabwe so<br />

eventually we might end up going<br />

there and I’d like to carry<br />

on doing conservation work,”<br />

Matt said.<br />

City council head of regional<br />

parks Kay Holder said the Jobs for<br />

Nature staff had been invaluable.<br />

“The scheme has provided the<br />

opportunity for 10 more staff to<br />

work in Christchurch parks and<br />

natural environments across<br />

the city. Not only has this seen<br />

a great increase in plant and<br />

animal pest control, planting<br />

and maintenance, it has also<br />

given training and learning<br />

opportunities to people who will<br />

now be better placed to continue<br />

this important work,” Holder<br />

said.<br />

Upgrades planned for zebra<br />

crossings and bus stops<br />

•From page 1<br />

A speed limit reduction to<br />

30km/h will also be applied<br />

between Nancy Ave and Mahars<br />

Rd during school hours.<br />

The footpath would<br />

be widened and some<br />

kerbs upgraded with 20<br />

car parks removed to<br />

accommodate the intersection<br />

safety improvements and<br />

allow buses to enter and exit<br />

the existing bus stops safely.<br />

Cotter said the zebra<br />

crossing upgrades are<br />

needed as the existing<br />

crossings are not safe enough<br />

for pedestrians.<br />

“It is important to upgrade<br />

them as it is safer for people and<br />

it will be much better for them,”<br />

Cotter said.<br />

“We are also improving the<br />

access to bus stops to make it<br />

easier for people.”<br />

She said the condition of Innes<br />

Rd has deteriorated.<br />

“We have had people come<br />

to us and complain about the<br />

vibrations from cars on the road<br />

shaking their houses.<br />

“The improvements may have<br />

some pain along the way but we<br />

just (have) to be focused on the<br />

prize at the end of it all.”<br />

Feedback on the proposed<br />

plans closed yesterday and Cotter<br />

said it will now be presented to<br />

the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-<br />

Central Community Board.<br />

“Work on the roads should<br />

begin later this year and into<br />

early 2024.”<br />

IMPROVEMENTS: Deputy<br />

Mayor and Innes Ward city<br />

councillor Pauline Cotter<br />

said the condition of Innes<br />

Rd has deteriorated.<br />

SAFETY: Stop signs will<br />

be added to Mersey St<br />

(right), Severn St, Jameson<br />

Ave, Thames St, and Ethne<br />

St. The water main from<br />

Mersey St to Philpotts Rd is<br />

also set to be replaced.<br />

SCHEME: New Brighton mall will see the return of the community<br />

guardians.<br />

Community guardians<br />

a ‘positive presence’<br />

• From page 1<br />

Donovan said with the plans of a council-led<br />

upgrade of the mall, demolition of<br />

the Westpac building, a community-led<br />

2.5 million ‘village green’ project, and a<br />

proposed upgrade of hospitality and retail<br />

spaces near the foreshore, having the unit<br />

would be a great presence.<br />

“Their presence aims to lower the incidence<br />

of crime and anti-social behaviour.<br />

Their positive presence would help provide<br />

reassurance to locals and visitors that if<br />

something were to happen there would be<br />

someone there with eyes on the ground<br />

and liaise with police.”<br />

Donovan said the hope was to make<br />

more of a difference in the community.<br />

“Perfection is key to making sure we<br />

support businesses and build confidence<br />

with locals and visitors.”<br />

A BUSY WEEK<br />

away from the clinic<br />

Steve, Connor and myself recently<br />

attended the NZL Veterinary Conference<br />

in the Capital. My very first vet<br />

conference, attending with my son. Was<br />

a fabulous 3 days reconnecting and<br />

sharing ideas with colleagues, learning<br />

new medical treatments and more<br />

about diseases, visiting the trade stands<br />

and formulating our “wish lists”, and<br />

spending time with Connor.<br />

Steve tested Pomeranians through to<br />

Great Danes, checking for diseases such<br />

as:<br />

• Distichiasis - an extra row of eyelashes<br />

that are directed towards the cornea<br />

(window of the eye)<br />

• Cataracts - cloudiness of the lens which<br />

is normally like a clear marble in the<br />

middle of the eye<br />

400-plus goals to<br />

help beat cancer<br />

A ICE HOCKEY player has<br />

scored more than 400 goals for<br />

a good cause.<br />

Ashton Whittle, 8, has so far<br />

raised $453 for the Canterbury<br />

West Coast Cancer Society<br />

to help fund free services for<br />

people with cancer.<br />

Ashton took part in the<br />

society’s Shoot for the Moon<br />

challenge to score 384 goals and<br />

raise $384. Why 384? Because<br />

the moon is about 384,000km<br />

away from the Earth.<br />

The goals were counted<br />

during his Saturday games for<br />

The Spiders at the Alpine Ice<br />

Rink in Waltham, at his weekly<br />

practices, in his practice goal<br />

at home, and on his air hockey<br />

table.<br />

“Mum found out about the<br />

challenge and asked me if I’d<br />

like to do it,” Ashton said.<br />

“I thought that would be fun<br />

because I like shooting goals in<br />

ice hockey.”<br />

Ashton’s mum Anna Wilson<br />

also plays ice hockey. She said<br />

apart from Ashton’s great-aunt<br />

having had cancer as a teenager,<br />

their family has not been<br />

directly affected by the disease.<br />

“It’s good to try and do<br />

something for other people,”<br />

Wilson said.<br />

Ashton started ice skating<br />

when he was only two and has<br />

played ice hockey since he was<br />

four.<br />

respiratory patients, nutrition in heart<br />

disease and the coughing dog. I actually<br />

love being back in lecture theatre,<br />

soaking up new knowledge, new<br />

medications and what’s new in research.<br />

In veterinary medicine you can never<br />

know enough, and I realised early on<br />

that to get the most of my job and help<br />

as many patients as I can, I was going to<br />

have to keep up the study and constantly<br />

keep improving and bettering myself.<br />

Which is what I have done for 33 years.<br />

It’s the degree that just keeps on giving.<br />

Steve also recently held an “eye testing”<br />

day in Auckland, organised and run<br />

by the Auckland Poodle Club. It was a<br />

jammed packed, fun day, with 104 dogs<br />

in attendance to have their eyes checked<br />

by Steve for inherited diseases. Steve<br />

started at 8am, finishing at 4pm with<br />

only a 10 minute break. I joined as Steve’s<br />

secretary, uploading patient details and<br />

making sure the microchip numbers<br />

matched the dogs.<br />

• Retinal Dysplasia - the retina is the<br />

“nerve” at the back of the eye that<br />

collects all the visual information. Retinal<br />

dysplasia with when the retina is not<br />

formed properly when the puppy is an<br />

embryo being formed<br />

• Progressive retinal atrophy - a disease<br />

where the retina starts to “die away”<br />

when the dog is an adult. It is a little bit<br />

like macular degeneration is people.<br />

• Glaucoma - is an increase in pressure<br />

within the eye caused by a blockage of<br />

the internal drainage angle. This is nearly<br />

always a nasty painful disease in dogs.<br />

Steve has organised more clinics around<br />

the country to eye test breeding dogs.<br />

It’s very important for the specific breeds<br />

and breeders that hereditary conditions<br />

are identified are not passed on to future<br />

generations.<br />
