Speed sign battle looms after council orders removal By Julia Evans A ST Albans parent is refusing to take down a sign pleading for motorists to slow down after being ordered to by the city council. Rachel Donaldson, whose children go to St Albans School, paid for the sign that reads “St Albans children matter, slow down” and put it on the fence of 85 Westminster St with the permission of the homeowner, her sister Diane Donaldson. But the city council has or-
dered its removal after receiving a complaint. It said the sign “does not comply with the District Plan.” Neither Rachel nor Diane Donaldson have any idea what not complying with the district plan could mean and remain adamant the sign will stay on the fence. Diane Donaldson said she has no intention of taking it down. She would consider painting the sign directly onto the fence – although that would be an extreme measure.
“It’s on our property. What’s the difference between me having a sign on my fence and me painting it on my fence?” Said Rachel Donaldson: “It’s really disappointing. I wouldn’t have thought the sign was so offensive that it would’ve caused someone to complain, especially with the political billboards, real estate agents and signs to quit smoking all over the place.” Rachel Donaldson has been at the helm of a campaign to bring attention to dangerous driving and red light running in the area.

She has put up four other signs in the area, none of which have to be taken down. Innes Ward city councillor Pauline Cotter said she is “extremely disappointed” that the city council has ordered its removal. She was not aware of it until contacted by Nor’West News. “The signs are brilliant, they bring attention to the problem, which the profile has been raised by the community,” she said. She said the Papanui-Innes Community Board is work-
ing on a plan to address the wider issue in preparation for an increase in motorists when the Northern Arterial work is complete. Until then she didn’t see a reason the sign should go. The city council won’t comment on the matter. “As this matter is currently under investigation, no further comment can be made at this time,” adviser of regulatory compliance Claire Le Grice said. •Shirley Primary lights, p3

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK AN INTERESTING battle looms over the sign in St Albans warning motorists to slow down. On page 1 today, we reveal a Wesminister St resident has been ordered by the city council to take down the sign because it doesn’t comply with the District Plan. She has put it up on behalf of her sister, Rachel Donaldson, who is a parent at St Albans School. Rachel has been at the helm of a campaign to bring attention to dangerous driving and red light running in the area. But this sign doesn’t comply so city hall is wielding the big stick. Rachel and her sister Diane have no intention of taking it down so the scene is set for a good fight. On another traffic matter, Shirley Primary School has come up trumps. See page 3. – Barry Clarke

Pupil safety problems addressed By Julia Evans SHIRLEY PRIMARY has applauded moves to make crossing the road outside the school safer for pupils. Motorists running red lights on a signalised pedestrian crossing Shirley Rd have posed a major threat to pupils. The school complained to both the city council and Papanui-Innes Community Board, which has resulted in action. Sandra The city counJamieson cil has changed the phasing of the lights. The red light has been phased for three seconds longer before the green crossing signal appears, which gives drivers longer to come to a stop before children cross the road. Said acting principal Sandra Jamieson: “It’s great to see how that gap makes such a big difference.” There were also adjustments made to parking outside the school but that was too new to see results yet, she said. Problems were addressed after

school staff and parents brought the issue to the attention of the city council and police. A meeting was held in June with members from the Papanui-Innes Community Board,
city council staff, police, as well as members of Shirley Primary’s staff and parents. Mrs Jamieson said there was a review meeting scheduled in the next few weeks for the people

In Brief BELFAST RIVER REVIVAL Plans to restore the Otukaikino River Reserve in Belfast will get under way this month. The work will include the restoration of native habitat in the area. A planting day is planned for August 27 from 10.30am. The restoration will be an ongoing partnership between the community, Trees for Canterbury, the city council, and The Isaac Conservation and Wildlife Trust. YOUTH TRUST FUNDING Pupils and students from Shirley Intermediate School and Mairehau High School will benefit from the Papanui-Innes Community Board’s decision to approve a grant of $6000 towards the Crossroads Youth with a Future Trust’s salary costs. This will allow the trust to deliver its Stay Real programme at the two schools in 2017 and 2018. Stay Real aims to support changes in a young person’s life and help them take responsibility for their behaviour. ADDRESSING SOCIAL ISSUES The Papanui-Innes Community Board has written to the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Social Development asking for more funding for programmes such as social workers in the community. The board has seen an increase in demand for this kind of support after the earthquakes.

Celebrating Rangi’s past
Readers respond to the article about the PapanuiInnes Community Board’s submission opposing a third lane across the Waimakariri River Joseph Adams – Wherever a new or upgraded motorway is constructed it may assist flow traffic flow somewhat better but always creates a bottleneck at some other point. It is for this reason I think that light rail should be tried and tested for a reasonable time at least. Our existing rail corridors do not share the track with other forms of transport and are therefore a fast and independent way to get from point A to B. Many people, including planners, refer to a transportation mode as “getting to a city” whereas I believe it would be better to adopt the mindset “getting through a city”, for example Amberley, Sefton or Rangiora to Rolleston, Burnham or Darfield via the city. While this may be a “no-brainer” one also has to consider the influence works and cartage contractors have in these decisions not to mention those involved in the sales of fuel, tyres and other associated motoring products. When one thinks about this the list suddenly grows. Ben Venzy Venz – What on earth is a third lane going to
Rangi Ruru Girls’ School principal Sandra Hastie writes about tradition and history in the present and future of schooling do? The problem is there’s not enough room where the double lanes end and it bottlenecks by adding another lane is just going to make more congestion. Pamela Neil – Papanui Rd is a choked mess most of the time. It needs a flyover all the way from Victoria St through to the north road as there is no where to go to widen it. Imagine the whinging with that idea. Carol Campbell – They should be looking into another bridge further west to get all the traffic like Rangiora and Oxford away from the main motorway. Rex Livingstone – An extra lane on the bridge would certainly help my family who come from Cust to the city. A normal 30 or 40min drive, becomes a 90min trial each morning. It will not bring more traffic in, but just help those who are coming now.
IN 1889, Charlie Chaplin was born, the Eiffel Tower opened and even though it was still four years before women won the right to vote in New Zealand, Rangi Ruru Girls’ School came into being, in Christchurch. Every year we celebrate Founders’ Day on August 2, the date when the vision of a group of women was realised; a vision to give girls opportunities that, until then, were not readily available to them. Rangi was founded by Miss Helen Gibson, after her father, Captain Frederick Gibson, built a large house with two schoolrooms on the corner of Webb St. It was administered by her and her sisters Mary, Beatrice, Alice, Lucy, Ethel, Ruth and Winifred for nearly 60 years. It was made very clear by the sisters that the focus of the school was not to turn the students into young ladies, who would become stay-at-home-mothers, but
rather strong young women with intellect, strength and their own viewpoints. The Gibson sisters were indeed ahead of their time. These years identify the first stirrings of the ‘Independent Woman’. Removed from the traditions of “home,” girls began to demand the privileges of their brothers. They wanted equal opportunities; they wanted university education; they wanted the vote. They achieved all of these things before their sisters in Britain, and frequently against the advice and opinions of their parents. They could see that the liberating force was education. The Gibson sisters all helped
in some way with the running of the school, in fact they all continued with their studies to train to become qualified as teachers and in doing so, demonstrated the importance of knowledge in leadership. Looking through the history of the school, it’s very clear that Rangi wasn’t just about academics, sports, music; the arts and fun also featured which for that time in history and for young women, shows it was indeed ahead of its time. I am sure that if the Gibson sisters were alive today, they would be proud of what has been achieved and we all know that there is still plenty to do. We are stronger for knowing and celebrating our past. Where we have come is an important part of where we are going, and Founder’s Day is a wonderful way to weave the threads of tradition and history into the strong and colourful fabric of our school community. FOUNDERS: Rangi Ruru was run from 1890 by the Gibson sisters (from left) Ethel, Winifred, Lucy and Ruth.

Evie’s historical connection to school By Julia Evans EVIE LAIDLAW is 12 and she doesn’t know a world without mobile phones, Facebook and the internet. But Evie is part of a legacy that dates back to when her school, Rangi Ruru Girls’ School, opened in 1890. Through her father Robert Laidlaw and grandfather John Laidlaw, Evie is a direct descendant of the Gibson family who opened Rangi Ruru in 1890. The school celebrated Founder’s Day on Wednesday. Three generations of the Laidlaw family were at the school to mark the occasion and Evie was asked to light a candle during the service. “It was a really special service for Evie,” said Robert Laidlaw. Captain Frederick Gibson built the school and his daughters Helen, Mary, Beatrice, Alice, Lucy, Ethel, Ruth and Winifred ran the school for nearly 60 years. The Gibson sisters were Evie’s grandfather’s great aunts. But just about every woman on both sides of Evie’s family have worn the Rangi Ruru uniform as students at the school, including her mother Lucy, both grand-

Short-term safety solution for Chaneys By Julia Evans THE UPGRADE of Chaneys Corner will see temporary safety measure put in place while longterm signalisation is finalised. The city council said until the permanent plans are set in stone, “short-term safety improvements” will be used at the Main North, Marshland and Spencerville Rd motorway junction. The city council will have to take into consideration changes in traffic flow as a result of the Northern Corridor work. It would also take into consideration other possible developments in the area. The budget for the project is just over $1 million and less than two per cent has so far been spent on the investigations so far, city council head of transport Chris Gregory said. The final plan will go out to the public for consultation in September or October. Mr Gregory said it was at this time that more information would become available.

TALENTED: Christ’s College band Run77 (above left) and Shirley Boys’ High School’s Fuzhun have made the national final of the Smokefreerockquest.
Christ’s, Shirley bands to rock finals BANDS FROM Christ’s College and Shirley Boys’ High School will battle it out against the country’s best in the final of this year’s Smokefreerockquest. Christ’s band Run77 and Shirley’s Fuzhun will compete at the national final in Auckland on September 2. Run77, made up of Angus Mossman, Robert Rolleston, Henry Phelps, and brothers Angus and George Murray, won

Bands from across the country competed in regional competitions from May to early July. The regional finalists then made 12min videos performing
their original music. Those videos were judged by a panel made up of New Zealand musicians. Judge and Silver Scroll award-winner, Thomas Oliver, said the music was unique this year. “It’s so good to see some really strong writers ready to make their way into the New Zealand music industry.” The final, where 12 acts will compete for the title, will be held

Young stars from both sides By Andrew King FIVE PROMISING rugby league players have been given a shot at making the New Zealand 18s side to take on Australia’s best. Jordan Riki (Hornby Panthers), Seth Tauamiti (Papanui Tigers), and Daniel Sakisi (Celebration Lions) have been named in the New Zealand Residents 18s wider training squad to meet an Australian-based selection of young New Zealanders playing for NRL clubs. The Australian-based squad includes former Celebration Lions Cruz Topai-Aveai and former Halswell Hornets scrum-half Joseph Taipari. Topai-Aveai (now with the Cronulla Sharks) and Taipari (Parramatta Eels) play in the Holden Cup. The New Zealand Residents 18s will be whittled down to an 18-man squad on September 12 to take on the Australian-based team, known as Taurahere, on September 23 in Auckland. A New Zealand 18s team will then be selected from the match to play the Australian Schoolboys on September 30 at Trust Stadium, Waitakere.

Christchurch Civic Awards 2017 Each year, the Christchurch City Council gives awards to those individuals and organisations who have performed substantial service ( usually of a voluntary nature) or made important contributions to the city and the lives of its people. Any significant service that is seen as worthy of recognition may be presented for civic commendation.
New Zealand 18s head coach Ezra Howe said the matches will further strengthen the pathways for players. “This is a great opportunity for the boys to put their best foot forward playing against Australia while enjoying being in an elite environment,” he said. “I know this fixture will see a good standard of football being played from both teams with many talented boys to take the field.”
Nominations are invited for the 2017 Christchurch Civic Awards. If you wish to nominate someone, please visit the Christchurch City Council website ccc.govt.nz ( KEYWORD: Civic Awards) to download a nomination form. Forms can also be collected from Council service centres and libraries.

Volleyballer off to US St Bede’s final SPORTS shot at playoffs
By Andrew King THREE YEARS ago Tasmyn Fahey hadn’t stepped foot on a volleyball court, but on Thursday she left for Casper, Wyoming, in the United States to start a two-year scholarship playing the sport she now loves. The 19-year-old former Burnside High student will play for Casper College after being accepted earlier this year. But she didn’t always have the same love for the sport that she now has. It took a persistent coach who eventually tricked her into attending a training session to get her interested. “I have always been tall and coach Sam Ryburn really wanted me to give it a go. I wasn’t interested, but he got some of my friends to trick me into coming to training and, from there, I haven’t looked back,” Fahey said. The scholarship pays for everything, including food, accommodation and education. “I am just so excited to play volleyball over there. I didn’t think I would reach this level. I want to travel, play volleyball and get educated, and this allows me to do all three. It is amazing,” she said. Ryburn said it was a huge opportunity for Fahey to get into the top level of one of the biggest sports in the world.

“The junior colleges give you really great exposure and I know she will take every opportunity thrown at her,” he said. She follows other former Burnside High volleyballers, Nicky Pio and Petra Manderson, who are both at junior colleges in Florida. While Fahey has never been to the US, she does have an American connection. Her father was born in Pennsylvania before being adopted by a Kiwi family. Her
mum is from Greymouth. “I am really interested to learn more about the AfricanAmerican culture, which I will be able to do at college,” she said. On top of the study and sport, Fahey said she is really keen to experience all her new home state has to offer. “I am really keen to see Yellowstone Park and, even though I haven’t done much skiing there, I will give it a go,” she laughed.
By Andrew King ST BEDE’S College have a chance of making a late bid for a playoff spot if they can beat Middleton Grange tomorrow night and other results go their way. St Bede’s sit in fifth position on the Connetics first XI football competition table but could jump into fourth. However, they would have to rely on bottom of the table Rangiora High getting past fourth placed Cashmere High, or third placed Burnside High losing to ninth placed Riccarton High. If St Andrew’s College losses to Christ’s College at 5.45pm, it could allow St Bede’s to move into the top four. However, a draw would keep St Andrew’s safe from dropping out. Rangiora have only won one game this year and have had 73 goals scored against them, while Burnside have retained the Connetics Shield since round nine. St Andrew’s are currently sitting second after beating Middleton 2-0 last week. St Bede’s beat Rangiora last week 5-2 and are now focused on putting in a good performance
Let us entertain you.

against Middleton at 5.45pm at the Christchurch Football Centre, where all league games are played this year. Burnside will not want to let the shield go or drop out of the top four in the final round. They take on Riccarton at 4pm. At 7.30pm, Christchurch Boys’ High will be looking to finish with a win against top of the table St Thomas, as will Papanui High when they take on Shirley Boys’ High.

Hydrate to elevate We all know drinking water is important, but the majority of us simply don’t drink enough even though we know it makes us feel great when we do. We look at the benefits and motivate you to drink more with a few tips on how to make it just a little more palatable. With over a quarter of Kiwis consuming less than two glasses of water a day and only 5% drinking more than the recommended eight, the message obviously hasn’t hit home on the importance of hydrating our body. A recent survey conducted by SodaStream found that Cantabrians are particularly guilty when it comes to their water intake. With 82% drinking less than six glasses of water a day, but with over 85% admitting they feel healthier when they drink more water, something needs to be done to bridge the gap in terms of what we know to be true and what we’re actually doing about it. This same survey revealed that although 41% of us limit how many soft drinks we consume due to our concerns over sugar content, the same number of people said tea or coffee is their number one drink of choice.
Some people even believe that the water consumed in their cup of Joe constitutes part of their water intake. This is a fallacy. As caffeine actually dehydrates us, as does alcohol too, it means we need to drink even more water to compensate. Not so surprisingly the reason we don’t drink nearly enough water is that we simply forget. Now with apps you can download direct to your smart phone, there are no more excuses. Further studies proved that people who had a SodaStream machine in their homes were more likely to drink more water. In fact, the study showed that people drank 30% more water. For those of us who aren’t used to drinking water like it’s going out of fashion, there are plenty of ways to increase the fun factor while still being healthy.
After Before
By simply turning tap water into sparkling water with a SodaStream machine and adding a splash of fresh lemon juice or naturally squeezed fruit juice, is bound to have a positive impact on our health and wellbeing.

BROUGHT TO YOU BY... BAKED PEARS WITH VANILLA AND BAY LEAF SYRUP Ingredients 4 Pears, packham 4 sheets Puff pastry 2 Tbsp Milk 1 Egg Syrup 1 Vanilla bean 2 Bay leaves ¾ cup Caster sugar ½ cup White wine ½ cup Water 1 Tbsp to serve Cream Directions Preheat the oven to 180 deg C. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Peel the pears, leaving on the stalks, then slice a sliver off the bottom of each so they sit flat. Lay one sheet of pastry on a lightly floured bench. Sit a pear in the centre and bring the pastry up around the pear. Trim the excess, then seal to ensure the pear is completely enclosed. Use the excess to make leaf shapes and press onto the
pastry. Whisk the egg and milk together then brush all over the pears. Bake for approximately 25min or until golden. Meanwhile, make the syrup by putting all the ingredients into a saucepan and then bring to a boil. Stir then let it reduce – this should take approximately 20min. Serve the pears hot with the syrup poured over and softly whipped cream on the side. VENISON STEAKS WITH KUMARA AND PARSNIP BAKE

majestic Southern Alps. This is a great addition to the existing slide off the same roof space. In this knowledge era, original thought is important to us here at Cathedral Grammar. This requires the ability to think beyond, to adapt, to change and to innovate. Our strong academic traditions are important to us, and so too is every pupil reaching their full potential, building their self-confidence and making friends for life. Our challenge is to find the perfect balance as we prepare our pupils for life. Every pupil. Every day. Come and see what the buzz is about and what we will provide your child and family. We look forward to hosting you at our Open day, or any time that best suits you.
Waltham Primary School Te Kura o Tūpuni
Year 7 & 8 students are a unique age group that we specialise in educating. Our staff and school resources are all geared for this stage of personal development and focus on providing as a diverse range of learning opportunities to create a wellrounded individual. Our learning environment is supported by a strong focus on our school values of Respect (Whakaute), Excellence (Panekiretanga) and Perseverance (Hiringa). Through these ‘REP’ values we develop within each student a sense of self worth to realise their importance as a member of our Casebrook community. Our school environment is one where students are safe and have the confidence to take risks with their learning. In this way the students at Casebrook are
supported and encouraged to become selfmotived, independent learners. We value the partnership between home and school. Together we can create an environment where we foster feelings of pride and belonging. We are sure you will enjoy being a part of our community and I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you to discuss your child’s future at Casebrook.
Casebrook Intermediate School
Waltham Primary School is the heart of a great community. Open for enrolments for the remainder of 2017 and beyond. If you are looking for a full primary school (Year 1-8) that is completely focused on each and every child ‘Reaching for the Stars’, then come along and see us in action. Every day is an ‘Open Day’ at Waltham, so call us or just pop in to see what makes us special. Waltham has an “excellent ERO report.” We have a strong link with all local pre-schools and secondary schools, and we are continually welcoming new families into our school community. If you need a school in our area we look forward to meeting you soon. It is never to early to come and have a look or to enrol.
