Call for safer crossings BY GRACE CABELL Halswell residents are concerned a lack of pedestrian accessibility could cause major safety issues in the area. Plans for pedestrian crossings on Halswell Junction Rd, Nicholls Rd and State Highway 75 have been proposed by the city council.

But residents say they have “no confidence” the plans put in place would go ahead, after no response from the city council. Halswell Residents’ Association chairman David Hawke said he first noticed the issue after plans for a pedestrian refuge on Halswell Junction Rd seemed to have stalled.

“The three main issues the association is worried about are Halswell Junction Rd, Nicholls Rd and State Highway 75.” “There was a one page report given to Riccarton-Wigram Community Board which we we’re shown but it didn’t really give us any confidence anything would happen,” he said.

Cycleway funding allocated

McMaster Heap Veterinary practice

A FAREWELL TO OUR “AMOS” Just prior to Christmas, we tragically lost our beautiful 11 year old Abbysinnian cat Amos. We arrived home from an awesome evening out with our staff to find him dead on our driveway. We suspected he had collided with a car, although he never leaves our section, except to keep an eye on our 12 month old cat Spartacus, who is a frequent visitor to the Canterbury University pigeon enclosure. Amos would sit at our letterbox and wait for Spartacus to cross the road safely, then Amos would chase him up our drive, basically telling him off. On arriving home we found Spartacus stuck up our neighbours cabbage tree and Lola hiding in her kennel. They were both freaked out and very upset. Nothing can prepare you for the sorrow and grief you feel on the loss of a treasured, valued, loved member of your family. It has been 12 years since I lost my faithful, awesome dog Tobias and 2 years since Eli our cat was put to sleep. Spartacus spent days calling and looking for Amos, lying on everything that had Amos’s smell on it. Our two teenage sons still cant talk about Amos and Isaac our 10 year old spent a lot of time very upset questioning why! Amos was a battler. He successfully kept every cat off our section, despite his disability in having an entire hind paw amputated. We suspected as a tiny kitten he contracted Toxoplasmosis which caused hindleg paralysis, forcing me to amputate his left hind paw. This never slowed him up. Other various injuries included a severely fractured pelvis causing osteoarthritis, numerous cat fight wounds from protecting Spartacus and his territory and a near drowning. He absolutely loved our family. He followed Steve around everywhere watching him mow lawns, hit balls on the court with the kids, cook in the kitchen and lie on Steve at night getting hours of chin scratches. He would hop onto a chariot designed for him especially and the boys would carry him into their rooms. Isaac spent hours in his basket reading or chatting to him. At night Spartacus and Amos would curl up together, after fastidiously grooming each other. Even Lola would try to get in on the fun. It would be fair to say he slept a

Government funding has been allocated for the city’s new major cycle routes, including one in Riccarton. Last week Tansport Minister Simon Bridges announced the first round of funding from the Government’s Urban Cycleway Fund would include an allocation for sections of two major cycle routes to be built this year. The fund allocates $500,000 towards the 400m Matai St East section of the Uni-Cycle route. The work will also see improvements made to the Fendalton Rd, Harper Rd and Deans Ave intersection as well as a signalised Cycle Crossing of Deans Ave at Matai St. The New Zealand Land Transport Fund is contributing $550,000, leaving $550,000 for the city council to complete the project. The Papanui Parallel has also been allocated funds, with $250,000 going towards a section passing through Rutland Reserve. A shared pedestrian and cycle path would link Grassmere Rd to Rutland St. NZLTF was allocating $250,000, leaving $250,000 for the city council. Infrastructure, transport and environment committee chairman Phil Clearwater said the sections selected for funding were parts of routes the city council confirmed last week as being the first priority to be built. “[The] announcement is a welcome endorsement by the Government of our approach to improving travel options in our city. “It gives the city council and the many people who have supported the Major

WINNER

Cycle Routes network confidence to push ahead with these projects. “It also provides some assurance that there are funding avenues available for the programme that recognise the wider benefits of increased cycling rates. It makes it clear that the full investment in the routes does not have to be met by local ratepayers,” he said. Cr Clearwater said the city council agreed the first four routes to be built as well as adopting in principle a detailed design guide to show how the 13 routes will be built to provide a facility that will lead to more people cycling by providing a much improved level of safety. “We have asked staff to provide more information on the costs and benefits so we can consider that and include it for discussion with the community during development of the Long Term Plan 2015-25,” he said. The first four routes the city council will build are: • Uni-Cycle: The link from Canterbury University to the central city through Hagley Park. • Papanui Parallel: Connecting Northlands and the Northern Rail route to the central city. • Quarryman’s Trail: The link between Halswell, Hoon Hay and Somerfield to the Southern Lights route which connects the southern suburbs around Beckenham to the central city. • Rapanui − Shag Rock Cycleway: From the Coastal Pathway at Ferrymead to the central city. The city council will begin consultation on some further routes in coming weeks.

Board upset with road move BY GRACE CABELL

A decision to remove no stopping restrictions on Pound Rd has caused a stir. Despite concerns about luring boy racers back to the area, the city council plans to remove the signage from the road. City council staff said the night time no stopping restrictions which were previously in place were now redundant. This was because the Prohibited Times on Roads bylaw, which restricted night time access, was placed on the rural road in September last year.

It meant cars weighing less than 3500 kgs were prohibited from entering areas of Pound Rd during certain hours on certain nights. But Riccarton-Wigram Community Board chairman Mike Mora said he was frustrated his board had not been consulted on the issue. “We’re going to be talking to city council staff about that we’re not happy with this one,” he said. He said completely removing the no stopping restriction will only attract unwanted visitors

back to the rural road. Mr Mora had concerns over the behaviour of some of the drivers who has previously congregated in the area. “Pouring diesel all over the road is definitely a safety issue,” he said. Riccarton-Wigram deputy chairwoman Helen Broughton said she was disappointed the board had not been briefed on the decision. “I personally would rather we kept in the current restrictions - as they work. Our area was the first in the city to need this

constraint,” she said. The decision to revoke the no stopping restrictions was made at the Fendalton-Waimairi Community Board’s meeting last week. In a report to the community board, city council traffic engineer Ryan Rolston said since access to the relevant section of Pound Rd was now restricted at night, it was “desirable” to remove the prior no stopping signage. “This implies a legitimacy of access that does not exist for some users,” he said.

New beginnings for St Michael’s St Michael’s Church School welcomed in the new school year with a Powhiri to greet new principal Mr Marshall Diggs and all other newcomers. Pupils and families assembled on the school green where a haka, a speech of welcome and a hongi took place. The mornings events were concluded with Mass officiated by Bishop Victoria Matthews in St. Michael’s and All Angels Church. St Michael’s is the oldest established primary school in Christchurch, founded in 1851 in a small wooden cottage on the banks of the Avon River.

▌IN ▌ BRIEF School evacuated

Gilberthorpes School was evacuated last week following a large fire in a paddock which backed onto the school. Hornby Primary School was also evacuated. Fire region commander Dave Stackhouse said about 20 hectares of rural land was scorched and more than 40 homes were threatened by the fire.

Road closure

Muirson Ave will be closed between McBeath St and Hoon Hay Rd until the end of February due to wastewater repairs. City Care replaced the wastewater main in Muirson Avenue in late 2012 but inspection work had shown that further work was required.

Overpass work starts

Work is starting on the link between Wigram Rd and Magdala Place/Birmingham Drive. This involves building an overpass over Curletts Rd and aims to improve the cycle path facility that links Barrington Rd with Junction Rd. Work began this month and was aimed to be completed by April. The whole project would not be completed until November 2016.

In August, Brenda Warren was 199kg. She has a goal to lose 100kg during a 700-day health and fitness plan, and will take part in The Star See City2Surf with Mike Pero Real Estate event Inside: next month. Reporter Bridget Rutherford chats to her about the journey, her training and the biggest challenges she has faced.

So Brenda, tell me a bit about yourself. Well, I’m 46 and I have a whanau. My husband and I have been together for 22 years, and married for 15. We have eight children. Not all of them are ours – we have a bit of a blended whanau. My husband, Wairangi, works here at He Waka Tapu with me. He’s an alcohol and drug assessor and I am a whanau intervention assessor. Where did you grow up and where do you live now? I grew up in Timaru. We’ve only sort of come up here to Christchurch in the last five years. My husband wanted to complete his degree in alcohol and drug studies up here. He has finished it now and we live in Papanui. You have more than 4500 supporters on your Ka Pai Me Facebook page. How did that start? Well, I’ve always had a weight problem from the get-go, from when I was very young. The Facebook page happened in August last year. Things were

JOIN THE MOVEMENT!

pretty tough for me and I was really wanting to make a change and didn’t know how. My work colleagues and I were trying to nut out something I could do. I was a bit resistant at first thinking about how it would go and how I would feel, blah de blah, but the page was set up and away I went. I post on it every day of how I’m going. How did you feel about the support you received on the page? In the beginning there were about five or 600 following and I was like ‘mean’. Then it started growing and growing and it got steady support building. From the time that I’ve had the page, I’ve had no negative comments. Have you heard of other people following in your footsteps? There are lots of people going on their own journeys. A lot of them private messaged me in the background because they didn’t want friends or whanau to know. There were maybe about 50 who have started their own journey. We all motivate each other and that sort of thing keeps me going and it’s that accountability. I really enjoy it and it’s quite therapeutic. Can you tell me a bit about your 700-day health and fitness plan?

work, determination and change I am on day 165, it’s going really well. I see Daniel, the nutritionist here at He Waka Tapu, once a week and we look at food menus and exercise programmes and set goals. Then on Fridays we have the weigh-in. I do the exercise on my own. Was it difficult to get motivated? In the beginning I was ready. I did a 10-day count down before I started and that helped. I got to say goodbye to some of the foods that I love like Chinese, KFC, chocolate, fizzy and chocolate eclairs. Having that last pig-out and saying that’s it, no more helped me prepare myself for what I was going to do. Had you tried anything like this before? I’m a queen of lots of things. I’ve tried every single diet, pills and potions. I’ve tried Atkins, Sure Slim. They all work, but if you don’t have the head stuff straight it is hard. I did lose 50kg about three or four years ago but my head space was not in it. This time I’ve been able to put it out there. I was a bit shy but now I don’t care. There will be a lot of people feeling the same. What prompted you to do it? My husband and I were talking about how I had never tried hypnosis and it planted the seed again. There was a combination of things and I was ready to do it. I went to social media and I haven’t looked back really.

NO GOING BACK: Brenda Warren is determined in her fitness campaign.

How is it going? I hear you have made some great progress. Progress is going really well, you have some good weeks and some not so good weeks and it’s just working through them and I get to verbalise them as well. There was one week that I had 4kg put on and I was like ‘how did that happen’ but we worked through it and that’s what I do every week. It’s also learning about your body really. I’m 46-years-old and I’m still learning. So do you have a target weight? I would love to get under 100kg.

“I got to say goodbye to some of the foods that I love like Chinese, KFC, chocolate, fizzy and chocolate eclairs.” BRENDA WARREN I haven’t been that since I was in high school. I’m determined, no more, I’m not going to go back again, it’s too hard to start again

and I’ve done it countless times. If you don’t mind me asking, what was your starting weight and where are you sitting now? I started out at 199.5kg and I’m down to 172.1kg. I’ve got a long way to go but I’m getting there. I’m getting close to losing 30kg, I’m at 27.4kg now. And I hear you are in training for the City2Surf next month, how is that going? I am trying to do something every day, an 8.2km walk has been the biggest so far. We did a walk recently with about 35 friends, whanau and supporters from the page. Some went for a 3.2km walk and some others went for a 5km. We’re trying to do it every week before the City2Surf to prepare. I’m doing some swimming and

aqua zumba in the mornings so I’m up at 5.30am. I did the 6km last year when I was on a semidiet but I struggled. But this year I am way fitter than what I was and will try the 14km. What was the focus for you when you started the plan? The focus for me was getting the kai right. We work on the food first, the exercise will come once you get in the buzz. I just started aqua-jogging three days a week. I’m a bit of an addict now, we just shake our booties and shake our wobbly bits and no-one cares. Do you have goals or rewards along the way? Every 10kg I lose, I give myself a reward. The first 20kg I lost I got my eyelashes done. When I get to 30kg I’m going to get my hair done. Usually my husband does it, he’s not the best hairdresser but I love him. What advice would you give others who are wanting to do the same as you? I think what they need to do is sit down and think about what they really want to do. If you don’t have that head space right you’re setting yourself up to fail. It’s baby steps and the 10-day count down is a good idea because they will truly understand what they are going to endeavour. The secret is having great support, even at work here we’re quite fit and healthy conscious. We feed off each other and they are amazing. I’m very blessed.

Call for GRASSROOTS SPORT safer pedestrian crossings • From page 1 “It’s a major issue for people to get across State Highway 75 near Oaklands School and it’s still a pretty major issue at School Rd.” “There is a 40km controlled crossing there but it doesn’t apply out of school hours. There needs to be more.” “The way we see it is the ability and need for people to move has not really caught up to the increased traffic into the area,” he said. City council unit manager of transport and city streets Richard Topham said a maintenance contractor would be undertaking work to install kerb build-outs and a central pedestrian refuge island outside 65/67 Halswell Junction Rd. “Physical works will commence early to mid next week,” he said. Mr Hake said there needed to be a larger focus around how pedestrians and cyclists could move around. “At the moment we’ve just highlighted the issue. We intend next to make our own suggestion,” he said.

NEW ROLE: Mario Hofmann in action for Canterbury United. He will also be FC TWENTY 11’s football development manager this

Helping club’s development FC TWENTY11 football development manager Mario Hofmann is looking forward to his first winter season at the club.

He has a wealth of experience coaching and working with kids and junior coaches, working and coaching in schools, and delivering

programmes for grassroots and elite junior players. As a player, Hofmann represented New Zealand at under-17 level and played in Oceania (Tahiti) and Confederation Cup (Korea) tournaments while also serving secondary school football scholarships in Germany and Japan. He also had stints in Germany with clubs Bentwisch F.S.V and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern E.V and in Japan with J League Club

Kyoto Sanga FC. He has played for several Northern Premier League clubs in Auckland including Central United, Auckland City National Youth League team and East Coast Bays before joining Canterbury United for the current ASB Premiership season. He signed up as FC Twenty 11’s development manager in September and is about to start his first winter season in the role.

The striker is generating plenty of fans in the junior grades with his summer coaching sessions and more young people will benefit from his experience, skills and passion for the game. He is delivering the club’s football programme this season which includes the first kicks and fun football programme, junior coaching and coach education sessions and holiday programmes this winter.

GRASSROOTS SPORT

Medals aplenty at rowing champs By Kyle Knowles West Christchurch high schools had a golden South Island Rowing Championships last week. Villa Maria College and St Thomas of Canterbury College won seven medals between them with three gold. Villa’s two gold medals went to the under-15 double scullers Kathryn Glen and Samantha Coulthard and the novice coxed quad scull crew of Milly Young, Virginia Hogan, Phoebe Wynands, Phoebe McCrossin and Georgia Reekie (cox). The under-17 coxed eight won bronze and the under-15 coxed

quad scull won silver. St Thomas’ sole gold medal went to the under-17 double scull pairing of Alex Coulthard and Jake Mangels. The school also won a silver and a bronze with the under-19 double scull partners Isaac Robertson and Hugo Moffet. Robertson won the bronze in the single scull. Other Christchurch schools also pulled in a massive number of medals. Rangi Ruru Girls’ School, St Margaret’s College, Christchurch Girls’ High School and St Andrew’s College had the largest medal tallies

winning 30 between them. Rangi Ruru and St Andrew’s each came home from Lake Ruataniwha in Twizel with eight crews winning medals. St Andrew’s could only manage one gold medal in their haul which went to the novice coxed eight. They picked up three more silver medals and four bronze. The Rangi Ruru team won only the one gold too which could have easily been many more after finishing runner-up in seven other races. The gold medal boat was the under-15 coxed eight. St Margaret’s won one less medal than St Andrew’s and Rangi Ruru but came away with a raft of gold medals. Five crews won gold. They were the under-19, under-16 and under-15 coxed four and the under-17 and 19 coxed eights. Girls’ High won seven medals four of which were gold. Christs’ College and Christchurch Boys High School each won six medals with half of them being gold. St Bede’s College won four medals while Burnside High School and Avonside Girls’ High School picked up the one medal each. All the silverware that was won at this regatta was good preparation for the South Island Secondary School Championships in early March and the Maadi Cup at the end of March to be held at Lake Karapiro.

FRIENDLY RIVALRY: Nick Oakley, 20, of Hororata and Alex McCaw, 22, of Halswell, were first and second in the Standard Class at the New Zealand National Gliding Championships held earlier this year. The competition, held at Omarama over two weeks pitted seasoned experienced pilots against Mr McCaw, and fellow youth competitor Nick Oakley. The two pilots gave the rest a run for their money with Mr Oakley gaining first placing ahead of Mr McCaw. The competition served as a warm up to the World Junior (under 25) Competition to be held in Australia in December this year. Mr McCaw is the cousin of All Blacks captain Richie McCaw.

The show, held at Riccarton House, is part of Christchurch City Council’s SummerTimes programme and runs until February 22. Tinker Bell, Captain Hook and the Lost Boys are played by other members of The Court Youth Company alongside three professional actors – Vanessa Kumar who finished her professional actor’s training at Toi Whakaari in Wellington last year; Andrew Ford, a former Christchurch resident now based in Auckland; and Derek Flores, a Canadian improvisational actor who has made his home in Christchurch. The Court Youth Company is selected from the top talent in the city amongst 17-21-yearolds and have worked with and received training at The Court over the last year. Behind the scenes is a team from The Court Theatre including director Daniel Pengelly,

City council events production team manager Chloe Dear said the actors made up their own version of the Peter Pan story. Improvisation was used in developing the play so the actors could engage with the themes of the theatrical production rather than reciting lines. The show runs between Wednesday and Sunday at 7pm, with an additional 2pm show on weekends. Street parking is available or limited car parking is available at the Riccarton Bush car park.

▌FLAME ▌ FILES

An alarming series of incidents BY MARK THOMAS - FIRE RISK MANAGEMENT

The last couple of years has seen some quite alarming incidents occurring amongst dry grass accelerated by howling Nor’Westers. Once again on Wednesday thirteen fire appliances assisted by both the Airport Crash Fire team and contractors operating nearby, who struggled to stop a very wide-fronted grass fire that raced on to the urban rural interface at Hei Hei. One house has been reported completely lost, another partially destroyed and cars motor cycles, garages and other property consumed. We are still in early February so can probably expect more to come. In the same general area the previous Thursday saw an unusual, but not unheard of, cause of fire. In the early few years of the new century the provision of an appliance garage in a new kitchen was commonplace. These fixtures are a small alcove in the kitchen joinery with a power point and a wee roller door that are designed mainly for the keeping of toasters out of sight. The problem is that if the toaster is left plugged in with the switch on the closing of the roller can, as it did last week, push the toaster switch to the on position and then prevent it popping up. This keeps the element on and after some time the garage, then the kitchen will ignite.

Chapel plans unveiled BY MEGAN GATTEY

new build. We’ve really missed our chapel since the February 2011 earthquake,” said the college’s general manager David Evans. February 22 will hold even more significance for St Andrew’s – it is the day that the earthquake-proofing for the chapel foundation work is expected to be complete. Earthquake-proofing is vital for ensuring the building’s safety, Mr Evans said. “There will be stone columns under the ground to prevent lateral spread as the land for the chapel is next to the stream,” he said. St Andrew’s has started ground improvement work for the new chapel and gymnasium, both on 12-month building plans. Concrete was laid on the gymnasium site on February 4. The gymnasium is expected to open November 2015, and the chapel in March 2016.w

St Andrew’s College has revealed plans for its new Memorial Chapel designed to replace the original building, which was demolished in 2013 following quake damage. The design, by New Zealand Institute of Architects gold medalwinning architect Patrick Clifford, was finalised after the college organised meetings and a survey of its school community. They prioritised “spiritual feel”, tradition and capacity as the top three prerequisites for the design. The school has chosen to incorporate as many remnants of the original chapel as possible, which Mr Clifford said was “an interesting challenge”. He integrated the original stone, oak doors, stained glass windows, ceremonial chairs, gargoyles, the baptismal font, the bell, the communion table and around 2000 bricks into the forward-looking design. The chapel will be built to hold 700 people. People will be able to buy a brick for $3000 and have their name recorded on a plaque within the new chapel. “The congregation faces toward the school, supporting the idea that the chapel is at the heart of the school,” Mr Clifford said. Students are also able to look back [towards the street] and be mindful of their place in the community.” Mr Clifford said that the project has been a “real pleasure” to be a part of. “The chapel will be a fantastic
