Isla Sinclair-Parker from South New Brighton was at Willowbank Wildlife Reserve for Kidfest’s junior keeper<br />
programme when she made friends with Kati and Neo the Keas. Neo is one of the most inquisitive birds at<br />
Willowbank and is first to check out every person who comes into their home. The now sold-out programme allows<br />
kids to work alongside the keepers, helping with feeding, watering and cleaning the enclosures.<br />

More<br />
than 100<br />
estuary<br />
trees to<br />
face axe<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
DEAD AND decaying pine trees<br />
along the edges of the South<br />
Brighton Domain estuary edge<br />
will be cut down.<br />
More than 100 trees will face<br />
the axe over the next fortnight.<br />
Erosion caused by the February<br />
22, 2011, earthquake led to<br />
the seawater damaging the trees.<br />
The removal of the trees has<br />
been debated since last year.<br />
Coastal-Burwood Community<br />
Board deputy chairman Tim<br />
Sintes said if the estuary edge<br />
had been protected, a lot of the<br />
trees would have been saved.<br />
He said the board has been<br />
pushing for the estuary edge to<br />
be restored after the earthquake<br />
to prevent losing the trees.<br />
It comes after an urgent<br />
meeting was held with the<br />
community board and a city<br />
council arborist recently in a<br />
bid to resolve the issue of dying<br />
trees.<br />
Forty-eight small-to-medium<br />
trees and 56 large trees were<br />
identified by the arborist as<br />
needing to be removed because<br />
they were in poor condition.<br />

But the warning bells for others should<br />

Southshore, Redcliffs across the estuary, and South New<br />
Brighton are areas with big question marks hanging over them.<br />
It’s all about rising sea levels and the monster lurking in the<br />
background – insurance cover.<br />
People living in the High Flood Management Plan area are<br />
facing difficulties in obtaining resource consents to extend their<br />
homes or to build on empty sections.<br />
Trying to build on an empty section is the real issue at the<br />
moment.<br />
Local community board deputy chairman Tim Sintes is<br />
working with others to try and sort the problem.<br />

Road marking fails to curb speeding<br />
Motorist reaches<br />
136km/h on<br />
Rothesay Rd<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
PAINTING road-marking<br />
lines on a residential street in<br />
Parklands has failed to stop<br />
vehicles speeding through the<br />
area.<br />
The city council attempted<br />
to alleviate vehicles speeding<br />
on Rothesay Rd by installing a<br />
centre line and<br />
side lines on<br />
parts of the<br />
road between<br />
Queenspark<br />
Drive and<br />
Putake Drive.<br />
But the latest<br />
data shows<br />
Kelly Larsen<br />
little change in<br />
the pattern of<br />
speeding along<br />
the 50km/h residential road.<br />
City council staff used a handheld<br />
radar device to measure the<br />
speed of vehicles on Rothesay Rd<br />
and undertook a traffic count.<br />
Staff had previously taken the<br />
same recordings last year and<br />
in 2016. The maximum speed<br />
recorded in April was 136km/h.<br />
In March 2016, 129km/h was<br />
recorded and 118km/h in June<br />
NO CHANGE: The lines painted on Rothesay Rd have not<br />
stopped vehicles from speeding through the area.<br />
PHOTO: GILBERT WEALLEANS<br />
last year. Eighteen vehicles were<br />
clocked at more than 100km/h<br />
in April.<br />
The information recorded has<br />
been passed on to police.<br />
Senior Sergeant Kelly Larsen<br />
said Rothesay Rd was regularly<br />
patrolled by police.<br />
She said police are using the<br />
city council data to determine<br />
the most appropriate time to<br />
deploy resources to the road.<br />
City council acting operations<br />
manager Ryan Rolston said<br />
there was no obvious pattern<br />
around when vehicles were<br />
exceeding 100km/h.<br />
According to the city council<br />
data, Fridays were particularly<br />
bad for speeding, with five vehicles<br />
caught travelling faster than<br />
100km/h on the weekday.<br />
Senior Sergeant Larsen said<br />
police will use the evidence to<br />
identify were officers could be<br />
deployed.<br />
“Because there are so many<br />
demands on our time, we need<br />
to be really careful we are deploying<br />
staff in the most efficient<br />
way possible,” she said.<br />
The latest city council traffic<br />
count data shows an increase<br />
in peak traffic volumes along<br />
Rothesay Rd, with the average<br />
being 350 vehicles per hour.<br />
In March 2016, the average<br />
peak hour volume was 262, and<br />
in June 20<strong>17</strong>, it was 327.<br />
A city council report said<br />
although there was no evidence<br />
the new road markings had<br />
reduced speeding, it was a relatively<br />
low-cost measure coming<br />
in at $3000.<br />
The city council is planning to<br />
buy three relocatable electronic<br />
speed detection and display<br />
signs and may consider putting<br />
one on Rothesay Rd.<br />
Parklands Residents’<br />
Association chairman David<br />
Baines said other solutions may<br />
reduce speeding such as speed<br />
bumps.<br />
He suggested the speed bumps<br />
could be trialled near the corner<br />
of Queenspark Drive and<br />
Rothesay Rd.<br />
However, Mr Rolston said the<br />
city council has not considered<br />
speed bumps and there is no<br />
funding for them currently.<br />

PARKING ISSUES<br />
City council staff are looking<br />
into what can be done about<br />
family members parking cars<br />
on berms and across driveways<br />
when dropping off and picking<br />
up children from New Brighton<br />
Catholic School. The Coastal -<br />
-Burwood Community Board<br />
noted that residents had reported<br />
parking issues and have asked<br />
city staff to follow up on the issue.<br />
Chairwoman Kim Money said<br />
parents just need to be reminded<br />
to be courteous to the neighbours<br />
of the school.<br />
NEW PREMISES SOUGHT<br />
The New Brighton Menzshed<br />
is looking for larger premises<br />
to operate out of. It currently<br />
operates out of a standard<br />
double garage on Hawke St. In<br />
a letter to the Coastal -Burwood<br />
Community Board, trustee Keith<br />
Preen said the garage was far too<br />
small which severely limits the<br />
number of members that can be<br />
accommodated and the type of<br />
projects it can undertake. He<br />
said the organisation needs a<br />
space between 100 to 330 sq<br />
m. It is also requesting a sole<br />
occupancy for safety and security<br />
and ideally an already existing<br />
building. But Mr Preen said if no<br />
building was available, bare land<br />
with building rights may be a<br />
viable option.<br />

Southshore couple<br />
McMaster & Heap<br />
Veterinary practice<br />
Another heAP Vet in the<br />
fAmily….<br />
Our son Connor has<br />
just been accepted<br />
into the Veterinary<br />
Programme<br />
at Massey in<br />
Palmerston North.<br />
Steve and I are<br />
super proud as we<br />
know how hard he’s<br />
worked these past<br />
5 months to make<br />
the cut. A big part of the selection process<br />
now is a weekend of interviews involving real<br />
life situations and personality testing which<br />
accounts for a large percentage of your final<br />
grade. This is new but I think essential in<br />
choosing the kids with the right set of skills<br />
and personality traits to move into a very<br />
select, challenging and not easy profession.<br />
In our experience the best vets we have<br />
encountered were not the cleverest kids<br />
by any means. The unforgettable students<br />
were relatable and practical, enjoyed solving<br />
problems quickly and talking to people,<br />
cared about animals in general, loved the<br />
team environment and were hard workers.<br />
You have to have fantastic work ethic in this<br />
profession and not be a<br />
complainer –<br />
the hours are<br />
long, the days<br />
throw at you<br />
many real life<br />
emergency’s<br />
constantly but<br />
the rewards<br />
personally are<br />
huge. Its not<br />
a job – it’s a<br />
way of life and<br />
it’s a privilege<br />
to care for<br />
pets and their<br />
owners.<br />
All our 3 three sons have loved animals<br />
from day dot. All their lives they have<br />
grown up with cats and dogs and horses<br />
(through my parents). All three boys have<br />
always been kind, caring and respectful<br />
of all our pets and taken responsibility<br />
for them. Our pets have come away on<br />
holiday with us and we are not complete<br />
as a family without them. Right from small<br />
children they spent a fair bit of time at the<br />
vet clinic, whether it be afterhours callouts,<br />
watching their dad operate on eyes, coming<br />
in to medicate and feed sick patients in the<br />
weekends, helping me clean and feed our<br />
cattery cats on public holidays or being an<br />
extra pair of hands at a caesarian. They have<br />
never resented the amount of time we spend<br />
at the clinic and they have always wanted to<br />
hear about interesting cases and be involved.<br />
Up until this year Connor was at UC Berkeley<br />
in San Francisco on a tennis scholarship,<br />
playing for the Cal Tennis team and studying<br />

an undergraduate<br />
degree in<br />
sciences. He spent<br />
18 months of a 4<br />
year scholarship<br />
there and loved it<br />
but had decided<br />
he’d had enough<br />
of tennis and<br />
wanted to give<br />
Veterinary science<br />
a crack. Connor had given his life to tennis,<br />
first playing at age of 3 and I think he’d simply<br />
had enough. Time for a change and to move<br />
forward with his life. He could have finished<br />
his Undergraduate degree at Berkeley but<br />
then he still needed to do the first semester of<br />
prevet at Massey to gain entry into the course.<br />
So he decided at Christmas to enroll in prevet<br />
and put his Berkeley qualification on hold. He<br />
loved studying at Berkeley – ranked the 6th<br />
Best College in the world. He can finish his<br />
undergraduate studies back there whenever<br />
he wants.<br />
A lot has changed since Steve and I were at<br />
Vet school back in 86 and 87. Many of my<br />
classmates are now lecturers and the Vet<br />
faculty has had a massive much needed<br />
revamp. The campus is much the same<br />
and from what Connor has reported<br />
the campus food is still average – main<br />
problem being “not enough food” plus<br />
no one cooks like his dad.<br />
Believe it or not, Connor has the same<br />
room in the same hostel his dad 31<br />
years ago.<br />
The campus<br />
is pretty and<br />
Connor is<br />
enjoying<br />
exploring all<br />
the old places<br />
in town his<br />
dad and I<br />
did on a<br />
Saturday<br />
night. It<br />
hasn’t<br />
changed<br />
much in nearly 30 years.<br />
Its going to be great having Connor in the<br />
same country for the next 4 or so years. I’m<br />
sure he’ll get lots of visitors. Another “ Heap”<br />
one day at McMaster & Heap, and I know for<br />
sure he’ll not disappoint. Here’s to a fantastic<br />
succession plan. It gets to stay in the family<br />
for the next 60 years or so. We bought the<br />
practice in 1999 – I wonder what it will look<br />
like in 2099. Probably a lot different but I hope<br />
its still called McMaster & Heap, even though<br />
I’ll be long gone!<br />

Tuesday <strong>July</strong> <strong>17</strong> <strong>2018</strong> 5<br />
get consent after drawn out battle<br />
The Christchurch Coastal<br />
Residents’ United group say a<br />
restricted discretionary activity<br />
rule, recommended by the<br />
replacement District Plan independent<br />
hearings panel, was left<br />
out when the plan was finalised<br />
last year. The group is made up<br />
of coastal residents and experts.<br />
Without the discretionary<br />
rule, under the District Plan new<br />
developments or intensification<br />
of land use in the High Flood<br />
Management Plan area is to be<br />
avoided.<br />
Coastal-Burwood Community<br />
Board deputy chairman Tim<br />
Sintes said leaving the rule out<br />
may have been a mistake and he<br />
is working with interested parties<br />
to put it right.<br />
He said for residents to buy a<br />
section of land and be told they<br />
can’t build or get their money<br />
back was an “extremely distressing”<br />
position to be in.<br />
A city council independent<br />
hearings panel decision on the<br />
rule was scheduled to be made<br />
on Friday but was delayed and<br />
will not be out until Monday<br />
next week.<br />
It comes as Regenerate<br />
Christchurch has started public<br />
consultation with Southshore<br />
and South New Brighton residents<br />
on how to solve rising sea<br />
level issues. MPs met last month<br />
to help solve residents’ problems<br />
over getting resource consents.<br />
Christchurch East MP Poto<br />
Williams said MPs will decide<br />
on what their next action will be<br />
based on the decision made by<br />
the independent hearings panel.<br />
Miss Donne and Mr Wood<br />
were originally told by the city<br />
council a building consent would<br />
be granted in February.<br />
But after agreeing to sign<br />
a waiver under section 72 of<br />
the Building Act 2004 in their<br />
property’s certificate of title, the<br />
consent was granted last month.<br />
Mr Sintes said by signing the<br />
waiver, the city council cannot<br />
take the blame if anything was to<br />
go wrong with the property.<br />
Miss Donne said if she hadn’t<br />
signed the waiver, the couple<br />
would have had to go down the<br />
road of getting a resource consent<br />
as well.<br />
She said it was “daunting”<br />
signing the document as it made<br />
them uncertain as to how it<br />
could affect them in the future in<br />
terms of insurance.<br />
RISK:<br />
Residents in<br />
Southshore<br />
face building<br />
consent<br />
issues due to<br />
being in the<br />
High Flood<br />
Management<br />
Plan area.<br />
Mr Sintes said in the last few<br />
weeks, residents in the High<br />
Flood Management Plan area<br />
have been telling him they have<br />
had difficulty getting insurance.<br />
Miss Donne said she feels<br />
lucky to have a building consent<br />
in the coastal area.<br />
“Some people would say we are<br />
crazy investing in our first home<br />
here, but we love the beach lifestyle<br />
and wouldn’t live anywhere<br />
else.”<br />
She said the extension could<br />
have been built before her baby<br />
was born. It is due on September<br />
25. The couple now won’t begin<br />
the project until summer. Their<br />
home, referred to as a “beach<br />
shack”, is currently 70 sq m.<br />
“Not living in such a small<br />
place that your work clothes<br />
smell of last night’s roast lamb<br />
because the wardrobe is near the<br />
kitchen will be nice,” she said.<br />
They were aware they were in a<br />
flood zone and contacted the city<br />
council before engaging in the<br />
project in about November.<br />
Miss Donne said the city council<br />
initially told them they would<br />
need higher floor levels to allow<br />
the consent to go ahead. But<br />
then they began to get unclear<br />
answers.<br />
She attended several community<br />
board meetings and went<br />
to Mr Sintes to resolve the issue<br />
before the city council proposed<br />
the couple signed the waiver.<br />
But Miss Donne acknowledged<br />
the long process was not entirely<br />
the city council’s fault as the couple’s<br />
engineer had moved away<br />
without telling them, leaving<br />
them “hanging for months”.<br />

Celebrations<br />
for Burwood<br />
church<br />
ST PAUL’S Lutheran Church<br />
in Burwood will reach<br />
a significant milestone this<br />
week.<br />
The church, located on 130<br />
Burwood Rd, is turning 30 years<br />
old on Sunday.<br />
The event will be recognised at<br />
the church’s normal Sunday 10am<br />
service.<br />
St Paul’s Lutheran was first established<br />
as a German church in<br />
1872, on the corner of Worcester<br />
and Montreal Sts in the central<br />
city.<br />
In the mid-1980s, due to innercity<br />
development and a lack of<br />
car parking the church was under<br />
pressure to relocate.<br />
The church relocated to Burwood<br />
in December 1986 and the<br />
newly-built church was officially<br />
opened in <strong>July</strong> 1988.<br />
From the end of 2013 until early<br />
<strong>2018</strong>, St Paul’s had been without a<br />
full-time pastor.<br />
In January Pastor Darryl<br />
Shoesmith was appointed.<br />

VEGEMITE ON toast is a<br />
regular on Kiwi breakfast tables.<br />
And Haeata Community<br />
Campus students are savouring<br />
the taste. The school is one of 25<br />
across the country to get weekly<br />
fresh bread deliveries.<br />
While students Summer<br />
Broughton-Read, 11, and Hailey<br />
Shriver, 13 (right), go to school<br />
with a packed lunch everyday,<br />
they still made the most of their<br />
free breakfast.<br />
KidsCan delivers the bread to<br />
a growing number of Kiwi kids.<br />
More than 30,000 loaves will be<br />
sent to schools this year. They<br />
are is available for all students<br />
to eat.<br />
Haeata principal Andy Kai<br />
Fong said his teachers asked<br />
for help after noticing some<br />
students were arriving at school<br />
hungry and without lunch.<br />
“Winter seems hard on many<br />
of our families. Making choices<br />
between rent, food and heating<br />
because they can’t afford all is,<br />
for some, a reality,” he said.<br />
The school does all it can to<br />
help. “It’s in our best interests to<br />
have our kids fed – without it,<br />
they will not learn as effectively<br />
if at all.” The students are now<br />
devouring 90 loaves of bread a<br />
week and the initial order of 45<br />
wasn’t enough to meet demand.<br />

KidsCan chief executive Julie<br />
Chapman says the charity feeds<br />
more than 32,000 children a<br />
week in New Zealand.<br />
“The increase in the need<br />
for bread support is significant<br />
and we know that many of our<br />
partner schools rely on it to feed<br />
hungry children in the morning<br />

Another Richmond shop bites the dust<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
UNFINISHED roadworks and<br />
a lack of customers has led to<br />
another business in the eastern<br />
suburbs closing.<br />
The Richmond Village Book<br />
and <strong>Post</strong>Centre closed on Friday<br />
after 13 years of business on<br />
North Avon Rd.<br />
Owner Alan Spooner said the<br />
roadworks had “basically destroyed”<br />
the store and residents<br />
had not supported the shop.<br />
“It is all very well saying on<br />
Facebook pages ‘let’s support the<br />
shops’ but they don’t . . . if the local<br />
residents had really stood up<br />
and supported we would still be<br />
open,” he said.<br />
Mr Spooner said “there are a<br />
lot of talkers” in Richmond but<br />
“not a lot of doers.”<br />
Bin Inn on Stanmore Rd has<br />
since taken over the post service.<br />
The city council started a full<br />
reconstruction of North Avon Rd<br />
in January, which has since left<br />
businesses struggling to bring<br />
customers into their stores.<br />
<strong>Pegasus</strong> <strong>Post</strong> reported in<br />
May that The Green Grocer on<br />
Stanmore Rd closed after the<br />
roadworks caused its business to<br />
decline.<br />
Mr Spooner said the problem<br />
started when the city council<br />
placed temporary traffic lights<br />
across from the entrance to the<br />
DISAPPOINTMENT: Roadworks had “basically destroyed”<br />
the Richmond Village Book and <strong>Post</strong>Centre, says owner Alan<br />
Spooner.<br />
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />
shop’s car park.<br />
While the traffic lights have<br />
since been removed, the footpath<br />
and road is still dug up directly<br />
outside his shop.<br />
Mr Spooner said even after the<br />
traffic lights were removed, trading<br />
had not improved.<br />
“I just can’t afford to keep on<br />
ploughing my own money into<br />
the business to keep it open . . . it<br />
is really sad, it used to be a good<br />
shopping centre along here,” he<br />
said.<br />
Richmond Residents’ and<br />
Business Association chairwoman<br />
Hayley Guglietta said “the<br />
truth of the matter was people<br />
weren’t going into his business.”<br />
She said she tries to support<br />
as many businesses as possible<br />
but what was offered at the shop<br />
was perhaps not needed as much<br />
anymore.<br />
“Unfortunately that is a casualty<br />
of the changing world we are<br />
living in,” Mrs Guglietta said.<br />
Bin Inn owner Laura Sing said<br />
it is difficult to know if locals<br />
are supportive of her business as<br />
people from across the city go to<br />
the shop.<br />
But she said she did not think<br />
they could survive on local customers<br />
alone.<br />
Ms Sing said Bin Inn decided<br />
to take over the post centre because<br />
it was an “essential” and<br />
basic service needed in the area.<br />
Mrs Guglietta said she would<br />
love more businesses to become<br />
involved in the association as it is<br />
hoping to work on encouraging<br />
more people to buy local.<br />

Meeting to<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
A PUBLIC meeting will be held<br />

changes in the eastern suburbs.<br />
Christchurch East MP Poto<br />

Canterbury representatives will<br />

the loss of bus routes means for<br />
those living in the community.<br />
ECan confirmed last month<br />
it would combine the 135<br />

More than 100 trees face axe<br />

City council head of<br />

said from what was<br />
gathered, the cause<br />
of the death and<br />
decline of the trees<br />
relates to the area<br />
being flooded with<br />
seawater over the<br />
last few months.<br />
“The trees are not<br />
able to handle the high salt<br />
content and are practically<br />
drying up,” he said.<br />

into the issue.<br />
Ms Money said the “clear<br />
message” was she wanted<br />
to get across the fact all<br />
of this could have been<br />
avoided.<br />
“It is because the<br />
earthquake-damaged reno<br />

Bid to transform Rawhiti<br />
Domain woodland<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
AN AMBITIOUS plan has been<br />
developed to enhance a woodland<br />
area in Rawhiti Domain.<br />
The Guardians of Rawhiti Domain<br />
are planning to transform<br />
the woodland, located off Keyes<br />
Rd, into a “natural play space”.<br />
The vision including treehouses,<br />
a rope-bridge, zip-line<br />
and plantings of woodland flowers<br />
shrubs and pohutukawa was<br />
presented to the Coastal Burwood<br />
Community Board.<br />
It aims to support birds, butterflies<br />
and bees in the domain and<br />
for community enjoyment.<br />
The project will take about a<br />
year to complete.<br />
Guardian committee member<br />
Ruthie Emeny described it as a<br />
“shooting for the moon” plan.<br />
She said the guardians would<br />
like to see the domain protected<br />
and enhanced.<br />
“The woodland area is a lovely<br />
natural space. Enhancing it for<br />
play will create an asset for our<br />
community,” she said.<br />
The idea was formed after<br />
founding member Cathy Baker<br />
noticed a decline in bird, bees<br />
and monarch butterflies.<br />
Mrs Emeny said it was likely<br />
losing 6000 gardens in the red<br />
zone as a result of the Canterbury<br />
earthquakes, meant food for<br />
insects was depleted.<br />
Earlier this year, the city council<br />
assessed a stand of trees on the<br />
Keyes Rd side of the domain.<br />
Seven of the trees were deemed<br />
unsafe and were felled.<br />
The guardians decided to take<br />
advantage of the felled trees by<br />
inviting three playcentre groups<br />
to test out playing on the leftover<br />
tree stumps in the area.<br />
The community board has<br />
since requested city council<br />
staff to consider conducting an<br />
in -depth tree risk assessment/<br />
maintenance programme for the<br />
woodland area.<br />
This is to allow the possibility<br />
of the natural play space to be<br />
developed.<br />
The guardians will be on the<br />
Keyes Rd side of the domain<br />
from 2-4pm on <strong>July</strong> 22 to get<br />
further ideas from the public<br />
on what could be added to the<br />
“natural space.” On August 22<br />
the guardians will be running a<br />
planting day at the domain and<br />
is planning to get the Shirley,<br />
North Beach and South Brighton<br />
playcentres involved.<br />

Nortons make NZ festival<br />
• By Jacob Page<br />
THE LINWOOD Nortons<br />
under-11 rugby team will be<br />
part of the New Zealand Junior<br />
Rugby Festival in Queenstown<br />
for the first time from<br />
September 28 to September 30.<br />
Team manager Jade Cull said<br />
the team was excited by the<br />
opportunity to play in the event<br />
which sees teams from New<br />
Zealand and Australia compete<br />
in four grades from under-10 to<br />
under-13.<br />
“This is an opportunity that a<br />
lot of teams from clubs like ours<br />
wouldn’t normally get and many<br />
of our kids haven’t travelled<br />
SCHOOLS<br />
much so while there’s a lot to<br />
fundraise, it’s a terrific experience<br />
that, hopefully, the kids<br />
will remember for a long time,”<br />
she said.<br />
The team, which is named<br />
after former All Black and<br />
Linwood club member, Tane<br />
Norton has been undefeated so<br />
far this season after their <strong>2018</strong><br />
grading games.<br />
“The team is playing really<br />
well and they enjoy playing with<br />
UNDEFEATED:<br />
The Linwood<br />
Nortons under-11<br />
team (named<br />
after rugby great<br />
Tane Norton,<br />
above) will play<br />
at the New<br />
Zealand Junior<br />
Rugby Festival in<br />
Queenstown in<br />
September.<br />
each other which helps on game<br />
days,” Cull said.<br />
“We don’t really know a lot<br />
about the other teams but we<br />
won’t be there to make up the<br />
numbers, everyone in the team<br />
loves to play and wants to show<br />
what Linwood can do against<br />
teams from outside (Canterbury),”<br />
she said.<br />
Fundraising efforts will<br />
continue to get the squad to the<br />
event, with extra players being<br />
called in to fill out the squad.<br />
“We want to give these kids a<br />
new and different rugby experience<br />
and we can see when we<br />
mention it that they are really<br />
looking forward to it,’’ she said.<br />
Low-Cost Pensioner<br />
Housing is Trust focus<br />
For 45 years and counting, the Kenneth<br />
F. Weaver trust inc. has been providing low<br />
cost pensioner units for Cantabrians. located<br />
throughout St. albans and edgeware areas,<br />
the twenty nine units which the trust represents<br />
were a dream of founder Kenneth F. Weaver<br />
which became a reality.<br />
the humble and very private community<br />
service benefactor, the Kenneth F. Weaver<br />
trust, inc. bears his name and shares in<br />
the legacy of the prominent Christchurch<br />
businessman. Maintained by a board of<br />
experienced and supportive trustees, the trust<br />
values its years of assistance to the dozens of<br />
pensioners it has been able to serve.<br />
“all those years ago, i felt a strong desire to<br />
support pensioners throughout the city where<br />
i’ve grown up. Having been born in rakaia<br />
and although i have travelled the world, leaving<br />
home at 15 to join the merchant navy, i came<br />
back to start my family several years later.” He<br />
shares. “then upon returning to Christchurch, i<br />
saw a need and felt prompted to do something<br />
about it.”<br />
“i have worked in many industries and<br />
became a businessman who was fortunate in<br />
their investments and business ventures. i have<br />
learned a lot about people and identified a way<br />
to support them. all those years ago, i saw a<br />
need for affordable housing in the pensioner<br />
segment and decided to do something about it.<br />
“i looked at the available central government<br />
schemes and applied for some funding. there<br />
was a lot of paperwork and many questions,<br />
but the ministry saw the value in my goal and<br />
helped me launch the trust. i had set up a<br />
private trust and to this day, my understanding<br />
is that the Kenneth F. Weaver trust inc. is the<br />
only private trust that has been supported<br />
through ministry channels.”<br />
the Kenneth F. Weaver trust inc. well-earned<br />
reputation lives by the motto – For the Benefit<br />
of others and their goal is to offer rental security<br />
for life.<br />
How the unit process works is that a unit<br />
only becomes available when a vacancy<br />
occurs. Most of the residents have been there<br />
for decades. Back in the late 1970’s when the<br />
doors opened, the rent per week was $11.25.<br />
Now forty five years later it has only risen to<br />
$155 a week, for a single person, 1 bedroom<br />
unit and we feel very good about the ability we<br />
have had to maintain and keep our rental costs<br />
as low as possible. We’re not in this to make<br />
a big profit, but to help serve our community<br />
while maintaining our costs.<br />
all the trust units are well maintained, and our<br />
residents and management team take pride in<br />
keeping them in top condition. the gardens are<br />
maintained by residents and a gardener.<br />
each of the units provide one or two<br />
bedrooms, a lounge, kitchen, laundry and<br />
bathroom facilities.<br />
the residents develop a close knit<br />
community and support for each other which<br />
provides comfort and peace of mine for each<br />
resident. there is no medical care on site, but<br />
the trust units have doctor rooms close by.<br />
Interested in applying?<br />
applicants must:<br />
- Be over sixty<br />
- Have a genuine housing need<br />
- Have less than $25,000 in cash<br />
(excludes car or furniture)<br />
at this time the trust is taking applications<br />
for their waiting list. Apply online at<br />

COMMUNITY: James Renwick, who has moved from Scotland<br />
to New Brighton, is excited about the area’s future.<br />
Many other communities<br />
would have given up by now, but<br />
you choose to press forward.<br />
I love that many do not let the<br />
past define them and I can see<br />
many working towards a greater<br />
tomorrow.<br />
Even though it seems others<br />
have forgotten the east, we do<br />
not have to forget it.<br />
Secondly, you are a caring<br />
people. One of our best<br />
discoveries since being here has<br />
been the People’s Independent<br />
Republic of New Brighton<br />
Facebook page.<br />
If you can see beyond the<br />
posts of missing cats, and the<br />
occasional moan, you see a<br />
community that truly looks after<br />
one another.<br />
That is rare to find in this<br />
independent world. When<br />
someone is in need, someone<br />
offers help.<br />
When someone loses<br />
everything, the community<br />
gathers around to bring them<br />
something.<br />
I know we can look at the<br />
obvious issues in the area, but we<br />
do not have to let the minority<br />
ruin it for the majority.<br />
Walking around the east,<br />
there seems to be a rising hope<br />
in people’s hearts that there are<br />
better days coming.<br />
There are some great signs of<br />
regeneration. The New Brighton<br />
Beachside Playground, which<br />
my wee boy loves, consent<br />
being lodged for the hot pools,<br />
which I will love, quality cafes<br />
in the area, the Taiora: QE II<br />
Recreation and Sport Centre, the<br />
new schools soon to arrive and<br />
more.<br />
Facilities and commerce will<br />
help Brighton but it is the people<br />
that make Brighton.<br />
I think this community will<br />
continue to be a better place to<br />
live in, work in and raise our<br />
kids in, as we continue to look<br />
out for one another and do<br />
our small part to brighten up<br />
Brighton as we rise above any<br />
negativity.<br />
If we can look beyond what<br />
we currently see, I wonder what<br />
New Brighton could be.<br />
Readers react to last<br />
week’s article about the<br />
dying trees along the South<br />
Brighton Domain estuary<br />
edge. A decision has now<br />
been made to cut them<br />
down (see page 1)<br />
Gary Knight – Surely the<br />
situation of dying trees at the<br />
South Brighton Domain estuary<br />
edge should be<br />
immediately rectified<br />
by selected removal<br />
from a qualified city<br />
council arborist.<br />
In alignment with<br />
the Southshore and<br />
South Brighton<br />
regeneration strategy,<br />
it is vital from not<br />
only a safety, but<br />
also an aesthetic<br />
perspective, to eradicate dead,<br />
dying or unstable trees due<br />
to the erosive nature of the<br />
edge they are anchored into.<br />
These ideals must be actioned<br />
through consultation between<br />
the city council and the<br />
Coastal-Burwood Community<br />
Board to ensure a sense of<br />
rationale prevails over this<br />
contentious issue, prior to the<br />
suggested civic action on the<br />
issue by the city council as at<br />
March 2019. Within this context,<br />
the criteria of the city council’s<br />
Long Term Plan <strong>2018</strong>-2028 to<br />
operate grants as a contributory<br />
factor towards community<br />
building is the catalyst for<br />
required funding<br />
for this community<br />
project to be met<br />
from<br />
city council coffers.<br />
Peter Kerr – It<br />
must be a countrywide<br />
moronic<br />
council thing, we<br />
are having the same<br />
issue around the<br />
lake front in Rotorua. Vanity<br />
projects are far more important<br />
than looking after existing information<br />
structures and facilities.<br />
Sonya O’Connor – The<br />
city council probably doesn’t<br />
have the money to do it since it<br />
EROSION: The city council will cut down the dying trees along<br />
the South Brighton Domain estuary edge.<br />
has wasted $1.2 million on an<br />
interactive screen for the public<br />
library and millions of<br />
dollars on cycleways that<br />
cyclists don’t actually have to use<br />
by law.<br />
Angela Toomey – Sadly<br />
people came before trees. If the<br />
community had been aware<br />
maybe they could have helped.<br />
Christchurch has had a lot to<br />
deal with so prioritising this was<br />
possibly challenging in fairness<br />
to the city council.<br />
Karen Whila – Are they<br />
those ugly pine trees? Be nice<br />
to see native salt marsh plants<br />
instead.<br />
Marie Carney – Doubt they<br />
could have been saved – toxic<br />
liquefaction and exposed roots<br />
most likely killed them.<br />
The Northshore<br />
Residents’ Association has<br />
gone to the city council to<br />
find out who is responsible<br />
for maintaining run-down<br />
sculptures in the suburb<br />
Rob Eder – You’ll have to<br />
do it yourselves, the city council<br />
doesn’t have any money left, it<br />
has already spent it on cycleways<br />
and giant flat screens.<br />
Ashley Crook – Maybe<br />
they could get someone who<br />
lives in their community to do<br />
voluntary maintenance? If it’s<br />
just aesthetic, then I’m sure<br />
there’s a qualified plasterer and<br />
a qualified painter to do some<br />
touch-ups. This association<br />
could get discretionary funding<br />
from the community board to<br />
help the association reimburse<br />
the community members for the<br />
supplies or for their time.<br />

check before winter sets in<br />
Winter weather can present a range of tricky driving conditions<br />
for motorists – from wet, slippery roads and heavy frosts to fog<br />
and driving rain. That’s why it is important to make sure your<br />
vehicle is in tip-top shape and ready to deal with these hazards<br />
before winter really sets in.<br />

checking that your lights and windscreen wipers are in working<br />
order, and to ensure your vehicle will start on cold mornings they<br />

Now with the colder and wetter weather on<br />
its way, home owners are focusing on ways<br />
to make their homes comfortable, warm and<br />
healthy for their families throughout winter.<br />
Rising damp is an issue that affects many of<br />
our older properties which suffer from poor, or<br />
no, insulation. In Canterbury especially, postquake,<br />
many people have relocated to homes<br />
that suffer from rising damp which can be<br />
associated with health problems. Independent<br />
tests have shown that up to 40 litres of water can<br />
rise from the ground and enter a house every<br />
day, leading to mildew, mould, condensation<br />
and musty smells. Moulds can produce<br />
various allergic reactions and the<br />
frail, elderly and very young are<br />
especially vulnerable.<br />
Canterbury Foam Concrete<br />
Ltd is a locally owned and<br />
operated firm. The team<br />
understands the problems<br />
caused by rising damp and are<br />
there to help. They will come<br />
to your damp home and pump<br />
a lightweight, flowable foam<br />
concrete under your timber<br />
floored home. Specially adapted<br />
for our New Zealand conditions and<br />
applications it provides a layer of protection<br />
against rising moisture. An unexpected<br />
benefit that the team at Canterbury Foam<br />
Concrete have noticed recently, is that many<br />
owners of properties which had underfloor<br />
foam concrete installed, reported that it also<br />
provided protection against liquefaction after<br />
the earthquakes.<br />

HOME & HEATING<br />
Choosing the<br />
right heat pump<br />
for your home<br />
Whether it be a new build, or a retrofit,<br />
most homes include at least one heat pump,<br />
if not a whole heating solution. They can<br />
provide cheap, clean heat and are much more<br />
convenient than a log burner as you just need<br />
to press a button. But how do you decide what<br />
is best? Choosing the right sized heat pump is<br />
key to ensuring optimum comfort levels. Every<br />
situation varies and it is therefore important<br />
to get professional advice from heat pump<br />
experts.<br />
The range varies from wall mounted high<br />
walls, floor mounted systems, multi systems,<br />
ceiling cassettes, right through to ducted<br />
central heating systems allowing you to have a<br />
very discreet way of heating your whole home<br />
to a constant temperature throughout.<br />
Firstly, you must select a heat pump that<br />
is suitable for the size of the space you wish<br />
to heat. Usually a site visit is the best way to<br />
ascertain this. Not only is the size of the area<br />
taken into consideration but also, insulation,<br />
building orientation, windows and ceiling<br />
space. There are a wide range of heat pumps<br />
available with different heating outputs so it<br />
is important to select the correct size for your<br />
requirements that will handle the job but not<br />
be unnecessarily overpowered.<br />
Secondly, the location of your heat pump<br />
is also extremely important. The cheapest<br />
installation is a back to back where the outdoor<br />
unit is positioned directly behind the indoor<br />
unit however this is not necessarily always<br />
the best option. It is vital that the indoor<br />
unit is positioned in a place that will not be<br />
constantly blowing on you. Also important, is<br />
the location of the outdoor unit. Most people<br />
do not want their outdoor unit sitting directly<br />
in their outdoor entertaining area or right<br />
outside their bedroom window.<br />
Choose a brand you can trust. Many brands<br />
have come and gone over the years but there<br />
are a number of manufacturers who provide<br />
reputable and reliable products. All brands vary<br />
in their energy efficiency, quietness of systems<br />
and price, so it depends on your application as<br />
to which will be most suitable. Major brands<br />
such as Panasonic, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi, Daikin,<br />
Toshiba and Hitachi are all reliable brands<br />
backed up by good technical after sales service.<br />
Ensure your heat pump is installed by an<br />
accredited installer. This will not only ensure<br />
correct installation of your heat pump, but also<br />
validate the manufacturers warranty.<br />
Other things to consider when choosing a<br />
heat pump are time clocks, ease of use of the<br />
remote controllers, air filtration and also wifi<br />
capabilities.<br />
Heating is a major investment in your home<br />
and it is vital to get the right advice.<br />
Enviro Master Ltd specialise in the supply,<br />
installation and servicing of all major brands<br />
of heat pumps. Our salesmen are engineers<br />
ensuring you get quality, unbiased advice as<br />
to which system will suit your application<br />
the best. Enviro Master Ltd offer a free, no<br />

What makes a great<br />
Heat Transfer System?<br />
There are a number of Heat Transfer<br />
systems on the market. Smooth-Air<br />
ventilation specialists offer a range of HTU<br />
Heat Transfer Units with carefully selected<br />
components to optimise the system:<br />
They use insulated duct to transfer the<br />
heated air with as little heat loss as possible.<br />
The fan moves sufficient air for the distance<br />
and number of rooms, without being noisy.<br />
The diffusers send the heat to the floor,<br />
not to skim the across the ceilings. All<br />
components are good quality - designed to<br />
operate for years without problems.<br />
Smooth-Air’s HTUs come in a range of<br />
options: One to four rooms, with or without<br />
thermostat and with a choice of grilles and<br />
diffusers. HTUs improve energy efficiency<br />
in your house, as you are using excess<br />
heat. They have low power consumption<br />
- only 80watts for the three room system.<br />
Circulating air through the house also<br />
reduces the risk of damp.<br />
You can also choose the HTU version<br />
with downjet diffusers, which throw the<br />
warm air downwards to the floor. These<br />
downjet diffusers can also be adjusted to<br />
regulate which room receives the most<br />
warm air.<br />
An average size living room requires 2-4<br />
kw of heating, yet appliances such as log<br />
burners generate heat in the region of 10<br />
-20kw. This leaves an excess of 8 -16kw of<br />
heat which sits at high level in the heated<br />
room, usually above door level.<br />
Heat transfer units work best where very<br />
hot air has ‘stratified’ into a layer near the<br />
ceiling. So heat pumps, which circulate<br />
warm air around the room with no<br />
layering, are not suitable as a heat source<br />
by themselves. However, if you have both<br />
log burner and a heat pump, heat transfer<br />
systems with thermostat can work very<br />
well: The heat pump stops operating once<br />
the heat from the fire has heated the room,<br />
and the heat transfer kicks in above this<br />
point, once there is a layer of hot air at the<br />
ceiling.<br />

REAL ESTATE<br />
A beautiful life… in serene seclusion<br />
99 Purau Port Levy Road, Purau Bay<br />
Negotiation over $939,000 plus GST (if any)<br />
5 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 1 living/dining room | 3 car garage | 21.2440ha freehold land | Listing #6459<br />
The interior of this extraordinarily<br />
appealing home has been largely crafted<br />
using the enduring beauty of native timber,<br />
resulting in superb spaces for those who want<br />
a whole lot more than a strictly utilitarian<br />
box in a suburban setting. It offers all the<br />
rustic charm you want with all the comfort<br />
you need, combining all day sun with<br />
beautiful views and superb living spaces,<br />
solar hot water panels, two water tanks, a log<br />
burner on wetback and gas cooking.<br />
The cleverly designed floor plan allows<br />
for many options. Live on one side of the<br />
home with three double bedrooms upstairs<br />
with one of these opening onto its own<br />
balcony and a spacious sun drenched open<br />
plan kitchen/lounge opening to the deck<br />
and garden. Along with all of this, two tile<br />
and timber detailed bathrooms all make for<br />
good family living or, in the unlikely event,<br />
you want to share your piece of paradise<br />
with others this will, of course, make for<br />
a wonderful Airbnb proposition, with 2<br />
bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with its own<br />
open plan kitchen and living areas opening<br />
onto the balcony. Tucked away, a short walk<br />
from the main house must be the ultimate<br />
romantic retreat in the form of a candle<br />
lit cabin with an outdoor bath over a fire.<br />

The Atarmies<br />
LEGENDARY local rockers The Atarmies play a<br />
Sunday arvo session at the Brighton Club this<br />
weekend.<br />
The four piece, made up of Mark Jayet<br />
(drums, vocals); Mark Wootton (lead guitar,<br />
vocals); Dennis Abbott (bass, vocals); and<br />
Darren Alexander (lead vocals guitar), has been<br />
engaging audiences with their special blend of<br />
classic rock and blues for well over a decade.<br />
Catch them at the club from 3pm. Or even<br />
better still, make a day of it and start with<br />
brunch! The Pierview Restaurant is open from<br />
10.30am to 2pm offering all the expected<br />
scrumptious breakfast/brunch delights.<br />
Located upstairs in the New Brighton Club,<br />
the Pierview Restaurant has always been a<br />
popular destination for dining and private<br />
functions. Offering uninterrupted views of<br />
beach, pier and coastline, the view is a stunning<br />
accompaniment to any occasion.<br />
Apart from Sunday Brunch the Pierview is<br />
open from 5.30pm Friday to Sunday serving<br />
quality, yet very affordable, a la carte dining that<br />
includes GF and vegetarian options. The<br />
restaurant also caters to children.<br />
The last Sunday of the month has turned into<br />
a tradition with the Pierview’s ‘all you can eat’<br />
Buffet. Priced at just $25 per person, tables fill<br />
fast on buffet nights, so bookings are essential.<br />
