A VERY sobering photo on our<br />
front page today that everyone,<br />
young or old, should think<br />
about.<br />
What you see is the outcome<br />
of a head-on crash 10 years ago<br />
which changed Ava Hurst’s life<br />
forever. She was almost two at<br />
the time.<br />
The latest Crash Bash campaign<br />
(see page 5) has been<br />
launched in Christchurch. It is<br />
aimed at educating young drivers<br />
about what carnage can be<br />
caused when things go wrong<br />
behind the wheel.<br />
There is a different theme to<br />
the campaign this year – the<br />
shock, horror smashed up car<br />
used as a prop in previous campaigns<br />
has gone.<br />
Let’s slow down and not have<br />
too many more cases like Ava<br />
Hurst.<br />
It’s that time of the year again<br />
– City2Surf!<br />
On Sunday, thousands of all<br />
different shapes and sizes will be<br />
pounding the pavements.<br />
It would be rude not to join<br />
them.<br />

THIS WEEK IN CANTERBURY’S PAST<br />
This week in history saw the Te Maori exhibition opened at the Robert McDougall<br />
Art Gallery on March 14, 1987. Over a nine-week period, 147,012 people visited<br />
the gallery, the largest number at the time to attend a single exhibition. On March<br />
15, 1854, sheep stealer James McKenzie was arrested and imprisoned at Lyttelton.<br />
He subsequently escaped and was recaptured several times, and was conditionally<br />
pardoned on January 11, 1856. On the same day in 1982, a city council resolution<br />
declared Christchurch a nuclear weapons-free zone. On March 15, 1983, New Zealand’s<br />
first test-tube baby was born at St George’s Hospital. Between March 16 and<br />
17, 1970, the Queen, Duke of Edinburgh, Prince of Wales and Princess Anne visited<br />
the city. On March 17, 1864, Arthur’s Pass was crossed by Arthur (later Sir Arthur)<br />
Dudley Dobson. He became the Christchurch city surveyor in 1901. On March 17,<br />
1928, the Civic Theatre opened in Manchester St. It was built in the burned out shell<br />
of the old Alexandra Hall; part of the Canterbury Exhibition Hall.<br />
