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

admits
women
for first
time
• By Sarla Donovan
WOMEN HAVE joined the
Ferrymead Lions for the first
time since the group was formed
41 years ago.
Rosemary Lory, Ann Newsom,
Jenny Godden and Ann
Finnemore recently became the
first female members of the club
at the recent annual induction
of new members and officers,
known as ‘the change over meeting.’
Vice-president Bernie Godden
said it added an extra special
note to the annual event, held at
the ‘Lions Den’ (aka the club’s
meeting rooms in Ferrymead.)
He said the change had been
driven by current president Bill
Newsom (Ann’s husband) “who
decided it was about time we did
it.”
Mrs Godden, who is Bernie’s
wife, said the club had made her
feel extremely welcome.

THERE’S A top rugby league story on page
15 today, involving names from the past
and ones to watch for the future.
Halswell club teenagers Tanner Smith
and Cooper Te Hau are carrying on a family
friendship which spans generations.
Their grandfathers Norm Geddes and Peter Smith played with
and against each other in the 1970s, and their fathers, Arthur
Geddes and Pat Smith shared a similar friendship and rivarly on
the field.
Pat’s name is of course synonymous with Canterbury rugby
league. It’s his name on the trophy presented each year to the
winning grand-final side.
I remember following the Papanui Tigers as a kid in the 1970s,
who Norm Geddes played for.
A very handy sort of player.

Opening cycleway in style
PARKING
A PARTY at Linwood Park
celebrated the opening of the
second stage of a cycle route that
will connect the central city with
Sumner.
A community barbecue,
children riding bikes and scooters,
and bicycle-powered fruit
smoothie makers were part of
the upbeat occasion marking the
second section of the Rapanui to
Shag Rock cycleway being ready
for action.
City councillor and chairwoman
of the infrastructure,
transport and environment committee
Pauline Cotter formally
opened the new route on Friday.
She said the new section,
which passes through a treelined
median on Linwood Ave,
would provide a safer and a more
direct route for cyclists, helping
children and teenagers bike to
school.
“We know that making cycling
safer encourages more people
to choose to cycle, whether it’s a
commute to work, school, shops
or as a recreation choice. I think
this section of the Rapanui Shag
Rock cycleway is arguably the
most scenic in the city to date,
and all credit to the design team
who have taken advantage of and
preserved the beautiful natural
features of Linwood Ave,” Cr
Cotter said.
SCOOT: Linwood Scout Group children celebrating the cycleway opening on Friday.
The project involved constructing
2km of shared pathway, along
with storm water, lighting and
landscaping improvements.
The signals at Chelsea St,
Hargood St and Dyers Rd have
also been upgraded.
The route passes through the
median strip of Linwood Ave
under 65-year-old elm trees
with thousands of daffodil bulbs
planted on either side of the cycle
path.
Great care was taken during
the construction of the new
cycleway to protect native fish in
the Linwood Canal.
About 3665 sq m of porous
pavers have been used to preserve
the trees’ root systems.
Another 150 new trees are
currently being planted along the
length of Linwood Ave.
NZ Transport Agency Regional
Director Jim Harland said
cycleways were a proven way
to improve the health of a city,
reduce congestion and lower the
cost of infrastructure.
“When the cycleway is fully
completed, it will also provide
access to recreational areas,” Mr
Harland said.

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

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

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

Promoting well-being of elderly
Spreydon-
Cashmere
Community
Board member
Lee Sampson
talks about the
board’s
age-friendly
initiative
I’M VERY pleased to announce
the community board will be
among the first local bodies
in New Zealand to launch a
recognised age-friendly initiative
aimed at promoting the wellbeing
of our older people.
It also aims to create a greater
awareness of the opportunities
and challenges facing our ageing
populations.
The initiative was formally
launched this month at a forum
for the Older Adults Network
through the interim working
party, and will follow a similar
format to the World Health Organisation’s
‘age-friendly world’
concept.
Presentations given at the
launch by Office for Seniors
director Diane Turner, Age
Concern Canterbury chief
executive Simon Templeton and
board member Helene Mautner
really energised the room and

well-being of older people.
set a great tone for the break-out
discussion and brainstorming
held later.
We know a huge amount of
work is already happening in our
area, especially through agencies
such as Age Concern, but the
pressures and gaps are only going
to grow with longer life expectancies
and increasing demands.
In 20 years, more than 25 per
cent of the population will be
over 65 – so it’s critical we collectively
adjust our mind-sets and
front-foot the issues and opportunities
this presents.
The challenges discussed
included loneliness and social
isolation, improving mobility
and public transport, the lack
of appropriate housing, tackling
ageism and individualism, along
with the strains for many on
fixed incomes.
No doubt part of the solution
will be increasing the level of
collaboration and promoting
stronger connections for the
sector, as well as enabling more
opportunities for residents to stay
connected and active – in fact
research shows those people who
stay active live longer.
It’s early days, but we are really
excited by the potential. The next
step will be the formation of a
local steering board comprising
about six to eight persons. Essentially
this will be our ‘think
tank’ responsible for developing
the initial structure, establishing
the action plans and our prioritisations.
•If you are interested in
being involved, steering
board nominations are
being sought until the end
of July. Email lee.sampson.

Low-Cost Pensioner
Housing is Trust focus
For 45 years and counting, the Kenneth
F. Weaver trust inc. has been providing low
cost pensioner units for Cantabrians. located
throughout St. albans and edgeware areas,
the twenty nine units which the trust represents
were a dream of founder Kenneth F. Weaver
which became a reality.
the humble and very private community
service benefactor, the Kenneth F. Weaver
trust, inc. bears his name and shares in
the legacy of the prominent Christchurch
businessman. Maintained by a board of
experienced and supportive trustees, the trust
values its years of assistance to the dozens of
pensioners it has been able to serve.
“all those years ago, i felt a strong desire to
support pensioners throughout the city where
i’ve grown up. Having been born in rakaia
and although i have travelled the world, leaving
home at 15 to join the merchant navy, i came
back to start my family several years later.” He
shares. “then upon returning to Christchurch, i
saw a need and felt prompted to do something
about it.”
“i have worked in many industries and
became a businessman who was fortunate in
their investments and business ventures. i have
learned a lot about people and identified a way
to support them. all those years ago, i saw a
need for affordable housing in the pensioner
segment and decided to do something about it.
“i looked at the available central government
schemes and applied for some funding. there
was a lot of paperwork and many questions,
but the ministry saw the value in my goal and
helped me launch the trust. i had set up a
private trust and to this day, my understanding
is that the Kenneth F. Weaver trust inc. is the
only private trust that has been supported
through ministry channels.”
the Kenneth F. Weaver trust inc. well-earned
reputation lives by the motto – For the Benefit
of others and their goal is to offer rental security
for life.
How the unit process works is that a unit
only becomes available when a vacancy
occurs. Most of the residents have been there
for decades. Back in the late 1970’s when the
doors opened, the rent per week was $11.25.
Now forty five years later it has only risen to
$155 a week, for a single person, 1 bedroom
unit and we feel very good about the ability we
have had to maintain and keep our rental costs
as low as possible. We’re not in this to make
a big profit, but to help serve our community
while maintaining our costs.
all the trust units are well maintained, and our
residents and management team take pride in
keeping them in top condition. the gardens are
maintained by residents and a gardener.
each of the units provide one or two
bedrooms, a lounge, kitchen, laundry and
bathroom facilities.
the residents develop a close knit
community and support for each other which
provides comfort and peace of mine for each
resident. there is no medical care on site, but
the trust units have doctor rooms close by.
Interested in applying?
applicants must:
- Be over sixty
- Have a genuine housing need
- Have less than $25,000 in cash
(excludes car or furniture)
at this time the trust is taking applications
for their waiting list. Apply online at
kennethfweartrust.co.nz.

Banks Peninsula walkways

“Each place has its own level

Doug Sutton said the move was
“long overdue” and was one of

the history of the club. The Lions
organisation was founded in
1917, with an exclusively male

grew, women – particularly Lion
spouses – embraced the Lions’
mission of service and began
forming auxiliary clubs, formally
recognised in 1975 as the Lioness

The programme continued
to grow until 1987 when the

constitution was amended to
admit both men and women.

Access all areas for
Barrington Park play
AN INCLUSIVE play
space that features a
wheelchair-accessible
climbing structure and
carousel – along with
visual aids – has opened in
Barrington Park.
City council head of
parks Andrew Rutledge
said the major upgrade has
resulted in a wonderful
play space that can be enjoyed
by youngsters with a
mix of abilities and skills.
“Barrington Park now
hosts an inclusive area that
caters for children with
disabilities,” Mr Rutledge
said.
“From a wheelchairaccessible
sand play feature
to a carousel suitable for
two wheelchairs or pushchairs,
the new space offers
multiple opportunities for
interactive play.
“The climbing structure

is 90 per cent wheelchair
accessible, with ramps
with a suitable gradient,
plenty of room for turning
around, play panels and
talk tubes.
“Youngsters can also sit
or lie on a net see-saw and
the jumping jacks.
“The visual aids on the
climbing structure and
equipment colour choices
all contribute to the creation
of a play space that
meets multiple needs.”
Among the other allaccess
features are a highback
infant swing seat, a
basket swing, a stainless
steel slide, a babel drum
and talk tubes throughout
the play space.
A central path connects
all the spaces and allows
users to move between the
areas with ease.
Most areas have accessible
safety surfaces.
“We have also included
accessible picnic tables and
seating and a periphery
path,” Mr Rutledge said.
“The design has been
peer reviewed by the
Barrier Free NZ Trust to
ensure it is as inclusive as
possible while still providing
a challenge to users.”
For the more adventurous,
the play space features
several slides, a fireman’s
pole and a custom-made
rock-climbing boulder
with a tunnel, monkey bars
and a balance beam.
Work began on the park
in April, with landscaping
to be completed as the area
dried out.
Communication boards
will be added to the play
space in the coming
months, as well as abike
stand and a scooter stand.

Court appearance after damage to park
Fire rages, homes at risk
• By Anan Zaki
A 39-YEAR-OLD man accused
of vandalising Hornby’s Leslie
Park will appear in the district
court next month.
He was originally set to appear
last Thursday, but the court
hearing was delayed to August 2.
No explanation was given for the
delay.
Police apprehended the man on
July 5 after allegedly being caught
doing donuts at the home ground
of the Hornby Panthers.
He was charged with
operating a motor vehicle
causing sustained loss of
traction, failing to stop, wilful
damage and driving with excess
breath alcohol.
This was the second time in
two months that the park was
vandalised. Damage to the field
in the earlier incident forced the
Panthers to play away from their
home ground for five weeks.
The latest incident came just
one week after the team returned
to the field.
Hornby Panthers club president
Brent Tomlinson said it was
“heartbreaking” to see the fields
damaged again.
Mr Tomlinson said the
club was using the field under
restricted conditions imposed by
the city council to prevent turf
damage and the vandalism made
an already difficult situation
worse.
The park was given a
$144,000 turf upgrade for the
Rugby League World Cup last
year.
The city council has
cleared the team to return to
the field following the latest
incident.

Slower speed for Richmond Hill
• By Sarla Donovan
RICHMOND HILL will have a
restricted speed zone of 40km/h
imposed from October as the
city council attempts to address
safety issues in the area.
The 100 section-plus Greenwood
Farm subdivision has generated
additional traffic on the
hill suburb’s narrow roads and
increased community concern
over driver
and pedestrian
safety.
The restricted
area starts at
the bottom of
Richmond Hill
Rd where it
Sara
Templeton
meets Nayland
St and stretches
up to the summit.
Nayland St is not included.
However, a trial 30km/h speed
limit there and on Wakefield
Ave is expected later this year.
Public consultation showed
majority support for the
measure, although a number
of the 68 submission criticised
the lack of footpaths in the
area.
“It is very irresponsible for
the city council to allow a new
subdivision with hundreds of
more vehicle movements per
SLOWER: The speed limit on Richmond Hill will be lowered to 40km/h.
day and not upgrade the road
and footpath,” said one
submitter.
“I would think this would
actually be illegal. When we
drive up and down the road, we
daily see young school children
in dark uniforms having to
walk on the unlit road. It is just
a matter of time before one of
these children will be killed by
a car.”
City council manager planning
delivery and transport
Lynette Ellis said due to the
physical constraints, particularly
land stability, it was unlikely
any physical widening will be
initiated.
“Any upgrade will be in the
form of repair and resurfacing
to the current road surface and
footpath.”
She said at the time the consent
was granted in 2006, the
developer was not required to
pay development contributions
towards associated transport
activity.
Heathcote Ward city councillor
Sara Templeton has asked
city council staff to “investigate
the pedestrian safety concerns
on Richmond Hill Rd outlined
in the submissions and report to
the (Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community) Board with
potential solutions by the end of
2018.”
She said the lack of footpaths
in the hill suburbs had been a
concern for some time, “especially
for children getting to and
from school.”
It will cost about $5000
to install the new 40km/h
speed signage on Richmond
Hill.
Car hoons
cause safety
concerns
• By Julia Evans
STREET RACING, burnouts,
dumped bottles and rubbish are
causing safety concerns for Lester
Lane businesses.
And that’s on a street only
200m long.
THe city council is investigating
putting no-stopping restrictions
along the lane, which runs off
Deans Ave, as businesses are
plagued by night-time antisocial
behaviour.
THis has created a safety issue
for staff working at night in
adjacent buildings, including the
New Zealand Blood Service and
CropLogic, a city council report
said.
Feedback is open on the plan,
which would see no-stopping
restrictions along the lane from
11pm to 5am.
“THe no stopping restrictions
will enable NZ Police to move
vehicles on and stop vehicles and
their passengers from gathering
here,” the report said.

Pupils inspired by Canterbury pools
PUPILS TESTED out four
different aquatic facilities around
Canterbury to get ideas for the
new Linwood-Woolston Pool.
Pupils from St Anne’s Catholic
School, Bamford School, Catholic
Cathedral College and Te Waka
Unua School were among those
that went on the trip.
“The purpose of the tours were
for the students to experience a
range of pools so that they can
have informed discussion that
draws on their knowledge and
experiences. This will be most
helpful when the time comes for
formal engagement on the design
of the new Linwood pool,” said
St Anne’s principal Dallas Wichman.
The pools visited were the
Selwyn Aquatic Facility in Rolleston,
Caroline Bay Trust Aoraki
Centre in Timaru, Dudley Park
Aquatic Centre in Rangiora and
Taiora: QE II Recreation and
Sports Centre.
The pupils’ favourite was the
Timaru pool because it was deep,
had a dive tower, diving board
and two hydroslides.
They also enjoyed QE II
because of the lazy river and
hydroslide.

Love of league brings family together
• By Jacob Page
HALSWELL RUGBY league
teenagers Tanner Smith and
Cooper Te Hau are carrying on
a family friendship which spans
four generations.
They are both Halswell Hornets
and Canterbury under-14
teammates – two decades after
their grandfathers Norm Geddes
and Peter Smith played with
and against each other in the
1970s.
Ironically their fathers, Cooper
and Tanner’s great-grandfathers,
Arthur Geddes and Pat Smith
shared a similar friendship
through rugby league, playing
with and against each other in
various teams.
Pat’s name is on the trophy the
winners of the Canterbury premier
rugby league final receive
each year.
Pat was 31-years-old when he
first played for the Kiwis in 1946.
The front-row forward captained
the national team in 38
appearances – including 10
consecutive tests – between 1947
and 1949.
Peter was a Canterbury and
South Island representative in the
1960s.
Norm, a Papanui stalwart
and Peter, a Marist regular,
played against each other
throughout the 1960s and early
1970s.
FAMILY AFFAIR: Peter Smith (left), his grandson Tanner Stowers-Smith, Cooper Te Hau and his grandfather Norm Geddes enjoy a
family friendship built by their love of rugby league which spans four generations. (Right) – Former Kiwis captain Pat Smith.

“My dad used to pick up Peter
in the morning when they used
to live out at Prebbleton but
we’d see each other on the field,”
Norm said.
“It’s quite a thrill to think
our families have crossed paths
through sport for all these years.”
Norm was a second-rower who
transitioned into the centres late
in his career and picked up a
Canterbury top try-scorers title
near the end of his career in the
1970s.
Cooper and Tanner are now
coached at Halswell by Cooper’s
father, Kevin Te Hau.
Winter Saturdays are busy for

Vehicles
tagged
with rude
messages
• By Anan Zaki
SEVERAL BROOMFIELD
and Islington residents were
left with some rude signs on
their vehicles.
A vehicle was tagged with
the phrase, “drugs?” while
another had “pedo van free
candy?” Others had male genitalia
spray painted on the sides
and bonnets. A police spokeswoman
said two incidents of
tagging on cars were reported
but victims informed them of
other incidents in the area that
went unreported by vehicle
owners.
Between 8pm on Friday and
10am on Saturday a Toyota
Corolla on Brixton St was
reported to have been tagged
and between 2am and 8am on
Sunday a Nissan diesel MK240
truck on Malabar Cres was
tagged, she said. “We do encourage
people to report these
incidents to give us an accurate
picture of what’s happening in
our communities.”
No arrests have been made
in relation to the tagging and
investigations are ongoing.

A BULLDOZER may soon be
put through the earthquake
damaged and graffiti-riddled
former Sockburn Service Centre.
The Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board last
week asked city council staff to
start work on demolishing the
old Sockburn Service Centre.
Chairman Mike Mora said
the board made it “clear” to city
council staff about its intentions.
“We want it removed as soon
as possible because it’s a bit of an
eyesore and it’s a bit of a mess.”
City council head of facilities,
property and planning Bruce
Rendall said staff are currently
working on a report where demolition
plans are being drawn up.
“This report will be presented
to the community board in August,”
Mr Rendall said.
At last week’s meeting, the
board also voted to retain the
land on Main South Rd, which
the centre is on.
“There is possibility for us to
continue to use the site [after
demolition] and keep it in public
hands so that’s where we’re at
this point in time,” Mr Mora
said.
The centre was closed after the
February 22, 2011, earthquake.
One option that the city
council looked at for the site
was an access road through the
land from Main South Rd to
Blenheim Rd after the building is
demolished.
But Mr Mora said that option
has not been taken any further.
Greater Hornby Residents Association
chairman Marc Duff
said the site could potentially be
looked at for a new $35.7 million
community mega centre.
“It’s really in the city council’s
hands. As a community we’ve
got to be prepared to look at all
sites [for a centre].”
Mr Duff said many residents
felt it needed to be demolished.

AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS
Specialists advise a vehicle
check before winter sets in
Winter weather can present a range of tricky driving conditions

and driving rain. That’s why it is important to make sure your
vehicle is in tip-top shape and ready to deal with these hazards
before winter really sets in.

order, and to ensure your vehicle will start on cold mornings they
offer free battery and alternator and starter tests, and free battery
fitting.
Their well-equipped workshop includes specialised diagnostic
equipment designed to find any faults with vehicles’ electronics, air
bags or ABS braking system, which the qualified and experienced
auto electrical specialists will repair quickly and efficiently.
Roses Auto Electrical provides full electrical services for all
makes and models of European, Japanese and light commercial
vehicles. Any time a warning light flashes up on the dashboard,
they advise calling into their workshop to have it checked out.

and the workshop team are constantly updating their knowledge
with industry training, as well as having the latest state-of-the-art
equipment in the workshop.
The customer comes first for the friendly, professional team at

with the cold weather approaching when driving is often more

HOME & HEATING
Get rid of
dampness
in your house
Now with the colder and wetter weather on
its way, home owners are focusing on ways
to make their homes comfortable, warm and
healthy for their families throughout winter.
Rising damp is an issue that affects many of
our older properties which suffer from poor, or
no, insulation. In Canterbury especially, postquake,
many people have relocated to homes
that suffer from rising damp which can be
associated with health problems. Independent
tests have shown that up to 40 litres of water can
rise from the ground and enter a house every
day, leading to mildew, mould, condensation
and musty smells. Moulds can produce
various allergic reactions and the
frail, elderly and very young are
especially vulnerable.
Canterbury Foam Concrete
Ltd is a locally owned and
operated firm. The team
understands the problems
caused by rising damp and are
there to help. They will come
to your damp home and pump
a lightweight, flowable foam
concrete under your timber
floored home. Specially adapted
SOUTHERN VIEW
for our New Zealand conditions and
applications it provides a layer of protection
against rising moisture. An unexpected
benefit that the team at Canterbury Foam
Concrete have noticed recently, is that many
owners of properties which had underfloor
foam concrete installed, reported that it also
provided protection against liquefaction after
the earthquakes.
Contact Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd
now for your free, no obligation quote and
complimentary appraisal of your underfloor
ventilation needs. Phone 03 376 4608 or
0508 362626 for more information.

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

What makes a great
Heat Transfer System?
There are a number of Heat Transfer
systems on the market. Smooth-Air
ventilation specialists offer a range of HTU
Heat Transfer Units with carefully selected
components to optimise the system:
They use insulated duct to transfer the
heated air with as little heat loss as possible.
The fan moves sufficient air for the distance
and number of rooms, without being noisy.
The diffusers send the heat to the floor,
not to skim the across the ceilings. All
components are good quality - designed to
operate for years without problems.
Smooth-Air’s HTUs come in a range of
options: One to four rooms, with or without
thermostat and with a choice of grilles and
diffusers. HTUs improve energy efficiency
in your house, as you are using excess
heat. They have low power consumption
- only 80watts for the three room system.
Circulating air through the house also
reduces the risk of damp.
You can also choose the HTU version
with downjet diffusers, which throw the
warm air downwards to the floor. These
downjet diffusers can also be adjusted to
regulate which room receives the most
warm air.
An average size living room requires 2-4
kw of heating, yet appliances such as log
burners generate heat in the region of 10
-20kw. This leaves an excess of 8 -16kw of
heat which sits at high level in the heated
room, usually above door level.
Heat transfer units work best where very
hot air has ‘stratified’ into a layer near the
ceiling. So heat pumps, which circulate
warm air around the room with no
layering, are not suitable as a heat source
by themselves. However, if you have both
log burner and a heat pump, heat transfer
systems with thermostat can work very
well: The heat pump stops operating once
the heat from the fire has heated the room,
and the heat transfer kicks in above this
point, once there is a layer of hot air at the
ceiling.
Contact Smooth-Air on 0800 SMOOTH
(0800 766 684) to ask how they can help
you with your Heat Transfer, as well as
any other ventilation requirements.

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

The Atarmies
LEGENDARY local rockers The Atarmies play a
Sunday arvo session at the Brighton Club this
weekend.
The four piece, made up of Mark Jayet
(drums, vocals); Mark Wootton (lead guitar,
vocals); Dennis Abbott (bass, vocals); and
Darren Alexander (lead vocals guitar), has been
engaging audiences with their special blend of
classic rock and blues for well over a decade.
Catch them at the club from 3pm. Or even
better still, make a day of it and start with
brunch! The Pierview Restaurant is open from
10.30am to 2pm offering all the expected
scrumptious breakfast/brunch delights.
Located upstairs in the New Brighton Club,
the Pierview Restaurant has always been a
popular destination for dining and private
functions. Offering uninterrupted views of
beach, pier and coastline, the view is a stunning
accompaniment to any occasion.
Apart from Sunday Brunch the Pierview is
open from 5.30pm Friday to Sunday serving
quality, yet very affordable, a la carte dining that
includes GF and vegetarian options. The
restaurant also caters to children.
The last Sunday of the month has turned into
a tradition with the Pierview’s ‘all you can eat’
Buffet. Priced at just $25 per person, tables fill
fast on buffet nights, so bookings are essential.
And on all the other Sundays, there’s a choice of
the regular dinner menu, blackboard specials, or
take advantage of the great value $25 set three
course Sunday special.
Downstairs the club's Tramshed Bistro is open
for lunch and dinner Tuesday to Saturday with a
great selection of meals, light meals, and snacks.
As well as live music and great dining, the
New Brighton Club provides big screen sport
and rugby, gaming room, plus social and
sporting sections. New Member enquiries are
most welcome. The New Brighton Club, 202
