THURSDAY, JULY <strong>13</strong>, <strong>2023</strong><br />
• By Briar Allen<br />
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 />

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 />

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 />
READY: Ashton Whittle plays hockey at the<br />
Alpine Ice rink in Waltham.<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 />
