2 get in touch Tuesday July 24 2018 from the editor’s desk THERE WAS nothing lucky about Cooper Moore’s world stars of junior golf championship win in Las Vegas (see page 14). The 10-year-old is one of Canterbury’s most promising young golfers. The Las Vegas event was played over three nine hole rounds on a shortened course. Cooper tied with a United States player after the three rounds and a par got him home on the first play-off hole. His father gave him good advice before the tournament: “Dad just told me to hit it straight off the tee and give myself the best chance to get on the green and that’s how it played out.” Cooper would like to be like Jordan Spieth one day. That’s a great goal to aim for. - Barry Clarke GENERAL ENQUIRIES Ph 379 7100 CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING Ph 379 1100 Star Media, a division of Allied Press Ltd PO Box 1467, Christchurch starmedia.kiwi NEWS Sophie Cornish Ph: 364 7437 sophie.cornish@starmedia.kiwi ADVERTISING Monique Maynard Ph: 364 7474 monique.maynard@ starmedia.kiwi Geoff Moreton Ph: 353 4595 geoff.moreton@ starmedia.kiwi Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi news School knits together for newborns Allenvale School is helping newborn babies at Christchurch Hospital’s neonatal unit.

NOR’WEST NEWS Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tuesday July 24 2018 3 News Boards to meet over school zones • By Sophie Cornish and Georgia O’Connor-Harding THE Coastal-Burwood and Papanui-Innes Community Boards will meet with Ministry of Education representatives to discuss concerns it has with the proposed zone changes for Avonside Girls’ and Shirley Boys’ High Schools. The meeting has been confirmed for the middle of next month. MoE Canterbury education director Coralanne Child and principal adviser Simon Blatchford will Kim Money be present at the meeting. It comes after the two schools, which will relocate to a shared campus at QE II Park next year, are required to create a new enrolment zone. Students living in Shirley, Richmond, Avonside, Edgeware and parts of Linwood will still be able to attend the schools, but only on a ‘transitional arrangement’. The addresses will only be deemed ‘in zone’ for as long as they contain the children currently at the address and does not include people who move in to the area. Prestons subdivision was not included in the zone at all. Coastal-Burwood Community Board chairwoman Kim Money said from her board’s point of view, the main concern is the Prestons subdivision, which has been left out. She said it is a huge thing shifting two high schools and while it will be a loss for the Shirley- Papanui area, it will be a gain for the Coastal-Burwood area. Ms Money said the board has a good relationship with the MoE and the point is to have a discussion about the changes in the area. She said it is the board’s goal to have Prestons included in the zoning. Papanui-Innes Community Board chairwoman Ali Jones said the board doesn’t have a definite idea of what it would like to discuss yet. “One of the issues that the board members raised was the time frame that the MoE is putting on the temporary extension of the boundaries, so that is something we will be raising with them. Other things will probably come out of the CHANGES: Richmond and Dallington residents Laura McIntosh and Vanessa van Hoof previously set up signs and gained signatures on a petition to get the suburbs of Shirley, Richmond, Dallington, Avonside and Edgeware included in the new school zone, after it was excluded in the proposed draft zone. discussion,” she said. A site meeting is also planned at QE II next month with the MoE, Shirley and Avonside schools, the Coastal-Burwood Community Board and city council is planned for next month. It is to discuss installing a signalised crossing on Travis Rd to ensure the safety of students at the new school. •HAVE YOUR SAY: Are you concerned about the proposed zone changes? Email your views to georgia. oconnor@starmedia.kiwi Local News Now In Brief Fire rages, homes at risk WORK RESCHEDULED The traffic management layout at the Cranford St and Innes Rd intersection did not change last week, as earlier advised by the Christchurch Northern Corridor alliance team. The power cable installation at the intersection had to be rescheduled again. Excavation work will continue on Cranford St between Weston Rd and McFaddens Rd, to install street light cables. The power cables should be installed by mid- August. RESERVE CONCERNS The Papanui-Innes Community Board is investigating the possibility of making the Rutland Reserve a board project. It wishes to retain the perimeter walkway and asked that city council staff advise and provide a briefing on options. It comes after a Rutland St resident raised concerns about flooding in the park, saying it has become a swamp and in some parts it is deep enough for someone to drown. EVENT FUNDING The city council will open applications on Monday for Neighbourhood Week, which runs from October 27 to March 31. A small subsidy is available for people wanting to organise an event for their neighbourhood. 03 349 5050 free CONSULTS New Dentures > Relines > Repairs > 6 Brynley Street, Hornby, Christchurch www.betterdenture.co.nz FREE brake and suspension safety check with every set of tyres purchased • WOF • A grade mechanic • Over 70 years experience •Courtesy cars available • Monday - Friday 8am-5pm WAYNE WILSON AUTOMOTIVE LTD. 77 McFaddens Rd, St Albans, Christchurch Ph 03 355 9688 | Fax 03 355 9689 wwwauto@xtra.co.nz | www.waynewilsonauto.co.nz We specialise in meeting the learning needs of year 7 and 8 students.
