Concern over shifting crossing

Concern . . . Pedestrian crossingworries.

Greypower is concernedabout the loss ofapedestrian crossing in the centreofKaiapoi’s shopping centre.TheWaimakaririDistrictCouncil and

theKaiapoiCommunityBoardhaveapproved shifting the central pedestriancrossing to theMcDonald’s endof theshoppingarea.ButMiles Jackson,President ofGrey

PowerNorthCanterbury, says this couldputpedestrians, particularly olderpeopleandotherswithdisabilities, at risk.He says inaneffort to reduce theextra

distance theywouldhave towalkbetweenpedestrian crossings ­ fromBlackwellscorner to theMcDonald’s roundabout ­theymayattempt to cross the roadwhere

therewill no longerbeapedestriancrossing.

Hebelieves that it ismoredangerous tore­site themid­way crossing to the southendof themain shopping centre than toleave itwhere it is becauseof thenotoriously busy roundabout atMcDonalds.Mr Jackson says at theother endof the

block theBlackwells’ cornerpedestriancrossing,which is sitedat thebaseof thebridge,means it is difficult forpedestriansto see traffic comingon to thebridgeandalso thebusyRavenQuayexits on toWilliamStreet at this spot.He isurging the council to rethink the

proposal in the interest of all pedestrians,particularly for theelderly andvulnerablepeopleof thearea.

River access for wheelchair fishermen

River access . . . Ron Stuart speaks during the opening ceremony at theMcIntosh’sWheelchair Fishing Platform at theWaimakariri River, near Kaiapoi, last Sundaymorning,with double amputee, Bruce Mote waiting to cast the first line from the platform.

By SHELLEY TOPP

Thebiggest grinat theMcIntosh’sWheelchairFishingPlatformopening, onthebanksof theWaimakaririRiver, nearKaiapoi last Sunday, belonged toBruceMote.Hehadwaited29 years for thismoment.

‘‘It’s very exciting,’’ he said.‘‘Going fishing is better thananti­

depressants. Itmakes you feel alive,especially if you catcha fishand this is agreat spot todo that.’’Theuniquenewplatformwasa first for

NewZealand, andpossibly theworld, hesaid.Thedoubleamputeebecamedisabled in

1985whenhe lost a leg after an industrialaccident. Then in 1991he lost his other legdue to complications from the1985accident. Sincebecomingwheel­chairbound, hehas felt continuing frustrationatthe lackof river access fordisabledanglers.Heoftenused to jokewithable­bodied

anglers,whocomplainedabout thehighcost of fishing licences, that heonlyrenewedhis licenceevery twoyearsbecausehecouldonly access a fractionofthe river areas they could.Hehappened tomention this to a good

friend, and fellowanglerRonStuart, atChristmas time2009.‘‘Howwould it be if therewasa

wheelchair platformat thebanksof theWaimakaririRiver, atMcIntosh’s, so youcould fishonequal termswithanyotherangler?’’MrStuart asked.‘‘Thatwouldbe terrific,’’MrMote

replied.Heestimated that therewouldbearound150otherwheelchair­boundanglersheknewofwhowouldalsobekeentouse suchaplatform.But, hewasn’tholdingout toomuchhope, sincehehadbeen trying to achieve the same thing sincetheearlynineties. ‘‘We just kept gettingpushed fromonedepartment to another,’’he said.However, underMrStuart’s guidance,

operationwheelchair fishingplatform,sprang to life that day. It hasbeena longandcomplicated journey,madepossible bytheenergyand tenacity ofMrStuart, andmanyother volunteerswithina closecommunity, allworkinghard together toachieve something special.Theproject beganwitharchitectural

designerAndrewLill’s drawings andplans.Theywere submitted to theWaimakaririDistrictCouncil, but not approved.Thecouncil said they couldnot approve theplatformunless it hadametre­high railaround it,whichwouldmake it impossiblefor aperson inawheelchair to fish from.Undeterredby this seemingly fatal

setback,MrStuart got amoreencouragingresult from theDepartment ofBuildingandHousing.‘‘Theyadvised that theoriginal concept

planwas ideal andunder a sectionof theBuildingAct it couldbebuiltwithoutconsent orpermit,’’ he said. ‘‘EnvironmentCanterburyapproved the installationatMcIntosh’s immediately andwas sosupportive.’’ThenTimSmith, of Smith’sCraneand

Construction, cameonboard.Hevisited

the sitewithMrStuart, hada lookat theplansand saidhis companycoulddo thework.‘‘Oh, andwewill pay for it too,’’ he told

MrStuart as theywere leaving the site.‘‘That blewmeaway,’’MrStuart said.However, justwheneverything seemed

tobe coming together the 2010and2011Canterburyearthquakes toreapart the siteandbrought all plans to ahalt.‘‘The riverbanks atMcIntosh’swere

destroyed,with great portions of the siteslipping into the river, andanextensivefault line cracking the river bank,’’MrStuart said.Theprojectwasput onholdwhile

EnvironmentCanterbury reconstructedthearea toprovideprotection to the riverbanks.Once the location settled revisedspecificationshad tobeput forward.‘‘KirkRobertsConsultingEngineers

came to the rescueandpresenteda freshdesignandconstructionplan,’’MrStuartsaid.Thenearly this year, theSmithCrane

andConstruction team, ledbyMattDraper,assembled theplatformandunique three­metre screwpiles, at their JohnsRoad site,

ready for transportationand installationatMcIntosh’s on theWaimakaririRiver.‘‘ChristchurchReadyMixConcrete came

onboardat this stagewith support ofconcrete for theplatformandpiles plusshingle to consolidate the structure’sinstallation,’’MrStuart said.Onsiteworkwas completed lastmonth

andwhen thatwasdoneEnvironmentCanterburyoffered to supplyqualifyingwheelchair anglerswithakey, freeofcharge, to enable vehicle riversideaccessthrough theFerryRoadgatesdirect to theplatform.Thekeyswill beavailable fromBlackwell’sDepartment store, inKaiapoi.MrMote, a long­timeadvocate for

disabledpeople, is hoping the success ofthis projectmay lead toothers aroundNewZealandandworldwide.‘‘Weareall over themoonabout it,’’ he

said.Between400and500 salmonhavebeen

caught at theMcIntosh’s site this season,and stockswere further replenishedonSundaywhenNorthCanterburyFishandGamerangers brought about 1000one­year­old salmon from theirSilverstreamhatchery to the river for release.

Denny sayswitha grin.A fewdays later, and$150,000 lighter,

Dorothy says. ‘‘Of course Ido. It’s suchalovely car todrive.’’It’s also a lovely car to ride in. A3­litre,

V6, twin­turbo sedan,with 410horsepower,leatherupholstery, bucket seats, heated ifyouwant, andaprecise internal heatingsystem that allows individual attention for

driver andpassengers.No­one travellingin this Italianbeauty everneeds tobe toohot or too cold.It has akeyless, push­button ignition,

and there’s anexceptionalGPS (globalpositioning system) that tells you, at thepushof abutton, everything youcouldpossibly need toknowwhile travellingaroundNewZealand.Where to go, how toget there,where to eat,what’s on themenu,thenearest fuel station.Open thedoors and thewindows roll

Sports andhadbeen looking for anotherone to restore tohavea ‘his andhers’.Their first car came from theWairarapa,

where it been sitting ina shed for 20 yearsunder cover.With anewbattery, fresh fueland thebrakes freedup, the carwasdrivenback to theSouth Island, onlyneeding theoccasional topupof oil after takingon thebighills.Theprevious owner told themof another

carwhichwasbeingkeptunder ahouse inChristchurchmarked fordemolitionandgave them thenumber to ring.Aftermaking contact 18months ago, the

AustinA40Sportswas finally brought outfromunder thehousea fewweeksago.Thesellerhadowned the car for 30 years, butwithanAustinHealey to restoreandaneed to store the cars somewhere, theA40Sportswas looking for anewhome.Back inHawarden, the carhas gone

under cover again tobe restored.Arrivinginmanybits, it has theoriginal runninggear. Jeff thinks thepaint is probablynotthe colour it cameoutwithand intendssending the cardetails to theMontagueMuseuminEngland.Themuseumis abletoprovideanextract of theoriginal buildsheetwhichwill specify the colour of thepaint andupholstery.While themotor is intact, the

will give a good indicationofhowmuchwork itwill take.Jeff says thebestway to get petrol

straight to the carburettor is byusingan IVfluid giving set.It plugs straight into the carburettor and

Trail of damageA trail of destruction has been left inthe wake of offenders who broke intothe Amberley pool last week andsmashed and damaged toilets in thetown.Constable Bill Parker says the

break in and damage around thetown are ‘‘pretty disappointing’’.‘‘It is a community resource and

the council has better places tospendmoney than on wilfuldamage,’’ he said.The pool, on Douglas Road, was

broken into last Thursday evening.Offenders smashed their way into the

office causing substantial damage tothe office door and windows.Constable Parker says nothing of

value is kept in the office and itappears at nothing was taken.Toilets have also been targeted

with a toilet roll being set on fire inthe toilet block alongside the councilbuilding causing ‘‘extensivedamage’’.Also over the weekend a toilet bowl

in a toilet at the Amberley domainwas smashed and other moreminordamage was caused to the toiletblock.

Funding change forWaimak promotionsTheway promotion of theWaimakariridistrict’s threemain towns is funded isset to change.TheWaimakariri District Council has

set aside a budget of $68,290 in the LongTermPlan signed off last week to fundpromotions collectively for Rangiora,Kaiapoi andOxford. Previously thecouncil hasmade separate grants toRangiora Promotions, theKaiapoiPromotions Association (KPA) and theOxford Promotions Action Committee.Policy and customer servicemanager

SimonMarkham says two out of the threepromotion associations have beenstrugglingwith operations andadministrative duties, and theassociation presidents have soughtcouncil support to ‘‘relocatework to buysupport for services’’.By combining the collective funding of

$68,290 for the three positions, a singlerole could be created and it would notnecessarily need to be full time.He says should any of the associations

fold as a result of the review, communityevents such as Christmas parades couldbe co­ordinated byEnterpriseNorthCanterbury or picked up by local groups.

TheOxford Santa parade, for example, isorganised by theOxford Lions.Town centre portfolio holder Cr

Neville Atkinson says the idea is not totake things away from local people, but tobe efficient and effective and ‘‘to ensurefunds are going in the right places andservices are fair’’.He saysKaiapoi has around 500

businesses, with only 40 to 50 in the retailsector and themajority involved inservice industries.However, theKPAhas around 80

members and themajority of theassociation’s decisionmakers areretailers.Rangiora Promotions co­ordinator

KirstynBarnett is due to finish up herrole tomorrow, Friday, June 26, to takeup a new business opportunity.KPAhas previously employed two

people to share its co­ordinator role,however TheNews understands one ofthose people has recentlymoved on.Cr Atkinson andCr JimGerardwere

due to present a final recommendationon how to proceed at this week’s councilmeeting, following further engagementwith the promotion associations.

NIWA station installedVisitors to themouth ofHurunuiRiverinNorth Canterburymay have noticeda new addition to the landscape.It is amonitoring station that has

been installed byNIWA to collect dataon the natural dynamics of the rivermouth at this popular fishing spot.The station has two cameras

mounted on a pole at the end ofHurunuiMouthRd aswell as awaterlevel recorder in the lagoon.The cameras record an image every

15minutes during daylight tomonitorthe position, width and length of thelagoon outlet channel and the positionof the gravel barrier.NIWAhydrodynamics scientist

RichardMeasures says the aim of theproject is to develop amodel which

can be applied to any lagoon or hapuato assess the impacts of waterextraction, sea level rise and otherchanges to the rivermouth and lagoondynamics.‘‘If successful, this researchwill help

people predict and understand theimpact of potential changes on rivermouths,’’ saysMrMeasures.TheHurunuiRiver is under

pressure from irrigation andMrMeasures says this researchmay helpunderstand the effects of water use inthe catchment. It was the perfect sitefor amonitoring station because itoffered an unimpeded view of the rivermouth.The stationwill be in place for about

three years.

Just before Christmas last year anearly seven foot Americanmanwith aface known to thousands apparentlyvanished.Thisman, hugely talentedNBA star

Larry Sanders disappeared, walkingaway from a contract worth $USD 21million over three years.No­one knewwhere hewas orwhy

he left a jobwhichwouldmake himrich, famous and idolised.Because I amnot a basketball fan the

whole incidentmade no impression onme at all.However aftermonths of silence in

an online video a softly spokenman ina beanie appeared.‘‘I’mLarry Sanders. I’m a person. I’m

a father, I’m an artist. I’m awriter. I’ma painter. I’m amusician. Andsometimes I play basketball,’’ he said.Larry had been in a programme for

peoplewith depression, anxiety andmood disorders ­ he had been usingmarijuana to try to cope.Two things he said stood out forme.

The first was about hismoney, job andfame.‘‘I think playing basketball is seen to

be a desirable, lucrative job. Howcould you be unhappy there?Forme,

the values and relationshipswith thepeople I love aremy real riches. That’smy lastingwealth.’’When Jesuswas asked aboutmoney

he never held back: ‘Get rid of it all,you’ll lose it when you die anyway,’’ hesaid.Jesus also added a rider: ‘‘True

wealth and happiness is found inrelationships, first with God, and thenwith those around you. It’s found indoing everything you can tomake theirlives better nomatter who they are.’’Larry’s second commentwas

‘‘People really like labels. Just don’tneglect the little word ‘and’. You sayI’m selfish.And I’m loving.And I’mcaring.And I’m scared sometimes, andI’m also brave.We are allmore thanjust one thing’’.We like tomake categories and put

people in boxes ­ friend, nurse, AllBlack, doesn’t like that food, loud, hasa big nose. Sometimes it is hard toremember the people around us aremore than the boxeswe put them in,but we do need to keep looking for the‘and’. Andwe do need to rememberthat Jesus taught us true happiness isnot found in our possessions but in thepeople around uswho care for us.

IHC recruits friendsBy DAVID HILL

Volunteerswanted . . . Jackie Cronin isexcited about the opportunity to work withlocal volunteers in her new role as IHCNorthCanterbury volunteer co­ordinator.

PHOTO: DAVID HILL

IHC has a new volunteer co­ordinator inNorth Canterbury and is keen for newrecruits.Jackie Cronin has been in the role for

twomonths and says there are plenty ofopportunities for volunteers to getinvolved. She spoke to TheNews aheadof VolunteerWeekwhich runs from June21­28.IHCNorth Canterbury launched a new

‘‘friends’’ initiative last year and quicklygained 11 volunteers. However, by thetime Jackie took over this number haddropped to five.Volunteer friends arematched upwith

peoplewithmental disabilitiesaccording to common interests.‘‘I have interviewed another four, but

there is room formore. The ideal numberfrom the perspective ofmy role beingpart time is to get up to 25 volunteers, butwewould like lotsmore than that.’’Volunteers complete a short interview

and a police check and the expectation isa commitment of at least two hours afortnight, but ‘‘it’s like any friendship, it’sabout whenever they are able to gettogether’’.‘‘There are lots of opportunities for

peoplewith all different sorts ofinterests. The friendship programme isspending one­on­one timewith someoneand doing things you both enjoy, so thatcan encompass anything, includingswimming, going to the library or goingout for coffee.’’Volunteers are also needed for a skill

based programme, where people teach askill to a personwith a disability whowants to learn. This can require a two tothreemonth commitment and couldinclude something as simple as catchinga bus, shopping for clothes or learninghow to use an iPad.Jackie says helping improve the life of

someonewith a disability can be very

rewarding.‘‘It’s like any volunteering, it has that

feel good factor. You’re helping someoneelse have a better life and to enjoy theirlifemore.’’Jackie is originally fromAuckland,

beforemoving toNelson and has lived inNorth Canterbury for 10 years. Sheworked for TradeAid in bothNelson andChristchurch for 14 years, before takingon her new role.‘‘My passion is helping people. This is

the perfect job forme, it’s local and ifnothing else that traffic intoChristchurch is enough to drive youbatty.’’People can find outmore by registering

through an enquiry form on the IHCwebsite, calling 0800 IHC IHC (0800 442442) or phone Jackie on 027­ 5313579 oremail jackie.cronin@ihc.org.nz or call inat the IHCNorth Canterbury office inDurhamStreet, Rangiora.

Saracens put Glenmark team to sword

Strong lineout... Oxford’s Josh Brown,soaring high in the lineout against Ashley atLoburn last Saturday, was awarded theWaimak Real Estate Player­of­the­Day.

PHOTO: SUPPLIED.

By PETERWILLIAMS

❛ At Loburn, the matchbetween Oxford and Ashley was

even closer with SeanThompson having to land apenalty kick deep into injury

time to give Oxford a 22­20 win.❜

Saracens appeared to be facing amammoth task in its first defence of theDeans Shield in theNorth Canterburysenior rugby competition.It had to take the shield to Cheviot and

defend it against thewell­performedGlenmark side that is known to treasurethe trophy.But Saracens proved that they really

have embraced thewinning habit ­ thiswas their eighthwin in consecutiveweeks ­ when it emerged victorious 26­22.This win,more than any other, signalledSaracens’ emergence as a genuinechampionshipcontender.Glenmark’s

supporters wouldhave been feelinggood about life forthe first three­quarters of thematch at Cheviot.Not onlywere thedrizzly conditionsthat greeted theplayers at kick­offlifting the spirits ofthe local farmerswho are facing droughtconditions in the area, but theGlenmarkteam soon stamped their authority on thematch.Two converted tries, one to impressive

half­back, Brent Daly and one toRobSelby, plus a penalty, gave the home teama seemingly comfortable 17­6 lead at thebreak.WhileDion Jones added a thirdpenalty for Saracens soon after theresumption, a third try to Glenmarkextended their lead to 13 points goinginto the last quarter.In the last quarter the Saracens

forwards began to take control of thegame. Saracens prop PeterManahiwrestled his way over the line aftertaking a quick tap kick and after a longperiod attacking theGlenmark lineSaracens lockMark Smith drove over fora try. Both tries were converted by Jones.In the 75thminute Jones kicked a

further penalty to give Saracens a fourpoint lead and Jones a 100 percent goal­kicking return for the day.The last fiveminuteswere a nervous

time for Saracens becauseGlenmark hasoften had the ability to get itself out ofjail late in the game. Its causewas nothelped by picking up a yellow card and

having to finish thelast fiveminuteswith 14men.Saracens clung

on for a significantvictory.At Loburn, the

match betweenOxford andAshleywas even closerwith SeanThompson havingto land a penaltykick deep into

injury time to give Oxford a 22­20win.For the first half­hour the teams’

respective goal­kickers, Thompson forOxford andLance Taylor for Ashley,traded penalty goals. One of those goalswas kicked after Ashley’s lock,WarrenRean, was ordered from the field for analleged stomping offence.The loss of one of their senior forwards

seemed to galvanise Ashley into actionand after a good backlinemovement,JarrodHeap, bullocked his way over fora try.Right on half­timeOxford responded

whenLoganTelfermade a half­breakand put Gareth Price in for a try, givingOxford a 14­11 lead at the break.At the 60­minutemark a try to Shark

Prescott extendedOxford’s advantage toeight points but a courageous effort bythe Ashley forwards kept its team in goal­kicking range andTaylor landed threefurther penalties within tenminutes togive Ashley a one­point leadwith fourminutes remaining.Oxford immediately swept on to attack.

It missed one penalty attempt but withtime up on the clock, referee StevenLaird, whowas refereeing his fiftiethseniormatch, awardedOxford anotherpenalty and this time SeanThompsonresponded to the pressure andmade nomistake. This was a cruel blow for Ashleywho had played three­quarters of thematchwith 14men. But Oxford scoredtwo tries to one and from that perspectivecould be said to have deserved their win.AtMandeville, Kaiapoi proved too

strong for Ohoka.With Sean Swartscoring forKaiapoi virtually from thekick­off. The visitors got rather over­confident and failed to treasure thepossession they received. Creditmust goto theOhoka packwhich stuck to its taskmanfully.With half an hour to play therewas no change to the 10­6 half­time scorebut thenwing, AshAndrews gathered inaBrookRetallick cross­kick to score andflankerRyanNesbit and prop, ColinMurchison, both scored from lineoutdrives to giveKaiapoi the bonus pointvictory that theywere seeking.Two particularly enthrallingmatches

Rugbyfrom thesidelinesWoodend are the only unbeaten

team in theMikeGreerHomesNorthCanterburyDivision 2 Top 6 play­offseries. Last Saturday they toppled theother unbeaten team,Hurunui, torecord their thirdwin.Woodend arebelieved to be keen to seek re­admission to theDivision 1competitions next season so theywould need towin this competition toadd credence to their cause.

Last week’s heavy snow fallmeantthat no rugby could be played onOxford fields last Saturday as theywere still under a blanket of whitepowder.Matches in all gradeswere

transferred, inmost cases to the homeground of Oxford’s opponents.

RangioraHigh School (RHS)scored its thirdwin in this season’sUniversity of Canterburychampionship beatingRoncalliCollege 21­15. This is the first time thatRHShas beaten them.It wasRoncalli who narrowly beat

RHS in 2009 in amatch played at theoriginal AMI stadium (Lancaster Park)to claim the one vacant slot in ThePress Cup competition for the comingseason. SinceRHS gained entry to thecompetition in 2011Roncalli has hadthe better of a number of close games.

easier run in to the league title but bothstruggled to create scoringopportunities due to quality defending.Halswell opened the scoring through a

defensive clearance, which reboundedoff an attacker and into the back of thenet to take the score to 1­nil at half­time.Halswell scored 20minutes into the

second half from a corner kick afterHurunui failed tomark­up and the balllanded at the feet of theHalswellmidfielder.The third goal came fiveminutes from

the endwhen a punt over the top saw thefresh legs of theHalswell sub out run thedefence to beat the keeper to go 3 up.TheHurunui Rangers Presidents side

was outclassed byUniversities 6­0.Hurunui conceded three goals in thefirst sevenminutes to put it on the backfoot.The score was 5­nil when the half­time

whistle blew.After the breakHurunui’s midfield

from theNewZealand Community Trust,in partnershipwith theNorthCanterbury Sports andRecreation Trust,to lay it.This comes after endorsement by the
