A FORMER Burnside High School student has
been selected to join a group of young leaders
from across the globe in advocating for a
healthier and safer planet.
Former dux and head prefect for 2020,
E Wen Wong, has been chosen to join Bow Seat
Ocean Awareness Program’s Future Blue Youth
Council.
The 18-year-old is one of 13 young, global
leaders in the programme’s inaugural cohort
of the international council, who will
collaborate online towards environmental
campaigns.
In July she will lead a team of five young
people who are organising the second youth
EnviroPAST – a Christchurch plastic and sustainability
conference.
“I am looking forward to using the council as a
platform to empower and engage people in ocean
conservation and environmental action,” Wong said.
“These issues are global in nature and the
international make-up of the council reflects this
by facilitating collaboration and communication
between young leaders from around the world.”

Edgeware
Village
• By Bea Gooding
INTIMIDATION, threats, public
intoxication, theft and fear of
retaliation.
This is the reality Edgeware Village
workers face most days, who
believe these issues can be put down
to a group of “drunk” individuals
who dominate a seating area on the
corner of Cornwall St and Edgeware
Rd.
Workers describe a “posse” of
about three to four men drinking
a “box of Cody’s,” who “harass”
customers for money, often intimidating
them if they refuse, or do not
give enough.
Police say they are now increasing
their presence in the area following
requests from the Edgeware
Business Association to address the
issue, which has worsened in the
last three years.
“There needs to be a co-ordinated
approach with police and businesses
in the village. I’m not sure of the
extent of the problem but police
presence will help,” said Malcolm
Pearce, association chairman and St
Albans Pharmacy owner.

In Brief
GARDEN AWARDS
Judging for the city council’s
Community Pride Garden Awards
2021 in the Fendalton-Waimairi-
Harewood Community Board
area begins this Saturday. The
awards acknowledge those who
have contributed to maintaining
the Garden City image of
Christchurch by beautifying
their streets and gardens. No
application is required, as judges
view gardens from the street in
participating community board
areas. Gardens can be residential
or commercial, with judging
finishing on February 7, followed
by the presentation of certificates
at award ceremonies in March and
April. Judging for Christchurch
Street and Gardens Awards will
take place at the same time until
February 17.
WAYFINDING SIGN
A temporary wayfinding sign
has been installed at Shirley
Community Reserve. The
Richmond Community Garden
in collaboration with The Green
Lab has a temporary lease to
install a wayfinding trail in the
residential red zone, which
connects people with places and
projects occurring in Richmond.
The sign, which is the start of the
trail, was approved at the latest
Papanui-Innes Community
Board meeting.
CAUSE: The Future Blue Youth Council gives young people the
skills needed to grow as environmental leaders and activists.
Ocean health education
• From page 1
The United States-based nonprofit
organisation aims to engage
youth in ocean conservation and
advocacy through the arts.
Since Bow Seat was founded
in 2011, nearly 18,000 teenagers
from all 50 US states and more
than 100 countries have participated
in its programmes.
The programmes educate students
about the issues impacting
ocean health, uplift youth voices
for conservation, and inspire them
to participate in positive, creative
actions.
The new council builds on
the strength and passion of Bow
Seat’s global participants and their
desire to grow as environmental
leaders and activists.
Council members will collaborate
to create and oversee a new
by-youth, for-youth environmental
programme; and contribute
their experience, creativity, and
insight to inform, advise, and
shape Bow Seat’s educational
initiatives and international outreach.
Said Bow Seat founder and
president Linda Cabot: “We know
E Wen to be an accomplished
poet, innovator, and communitybuilder,
and we couldn’t imagine
this group without her. E Wen’s
commitment to leading through
kindness will be an invaluable addition
to the council.
“The Future Blue Youth Council
is an incredible group of passionate
young leaders, and I can’t wait
to see what they will accomplish
together.”
Chlorine added to
drinking water
WATER SUPPLY to homes
in Casebrook has now been
chlorinated as a
precaution against
potential bacteria and
viruses.
Papanui-Innes Community
Board member
Emma Norrish said
the city council added
chlorine to the Grampian
St water supply pump station
while they carry out agetesting
of the groundwater.
Results from the latest batch
of groundwater samples for
one of the wells showed that
water younger than a year old
Emma
Norrish
may be present.
This indicated that it may
still contain bacteria
and viruses which may
present a risk to public
health if left untreated,
said Norrish.
“There has not been
any E. coli detected
in the groundwater at
Grampian pump station,
but the wells are being
chlorinated as a precautionary
measure.”
The testing will finish by
the end of June this year,
where the chlorine will also be
removed.
Ōtukaikino tree trimming/removal
Starting Monday 18 January, for about four weeks, we will
be removing and/or trimming some willows in and around
Ōtukaikino Creek.
The trees border the pedestrian walkway along the creek,
by the popular dog park at The Groynes.
Access will continue, and the pedestrian walkway will be
temporarily diverted to avoid the works area.

‘People are scared of them’
•From page 1
Peter Timbs Meats St Albans
manager David Timbs has had
enough. A police presence would
not do any harm, he said, but he
just wanted them to disappear.
“Every day they’d sit on that
chair with a box of Cody’s. When
they run out of drink they harass
customers for money. They hang
around our food caravan and
intimidate customers,” he said.
“People are scared of them. I
don’t have a solution, but when
one [police car] drives past, that’s
not really a presence is it?”
On one occasion Timbs
caught one of the men leaving
his store with a jacket full of
stolen bacon, which led to a
physical altercation. Some
regular customers were no longer
visiting the store because they felt
threatened.
“One of our customers was
shaken up because she gave them
money but it wasn’t enough. We
usually just get the lads out back
telling them to move on, but if
you do that, and you do it to a
stage where it’s going to annoy
them, they’ll tag your building.”
Next door, Real Fruit Parlour
was tagged with graffiti in
December. Front-of-house worker
and chef Chadi Coira believes it
was retaliation for fighting back.
“There’s this dude that always
David Timbs
walks around stopping people
before they get a chance to open
their car doors, harassing them
for money. He always says that
he’s down from Wellington
because his dad’s died and needs
money for the bus,” she said.
Her co-workers were
“terrified,” so she would usually
tell him to leave.
“I saw him at Riverside Market
one time. I was like, don’t come
back. And after, that’s when
the tag happened so it’s a bit
suspicious.”
Although Coira did not fear
him or the group, she just wanted
them to “go away.”
A Madras St resident, who did
not want to be named, said a man
knocked on her door last month
at 9am asking for money.
She was only wearing a
nightgown at the time. “He said:
‘Oh, you’re not wearing much,’
and tried to put his hand through
the door,” she said.
FreshChoice Edgeware owner
Stephen Anderson said the group
was recently trespassed by police
from entering the supermarket
due to aggressive behaviour
towards staff and shoppers.
Anderson said a meeting
between police and retailers took
place before Christmas, which
resulted in the trespass notice
and the prompt to increase their
presence.
In spite of the notice, the group
still came back to harass and
“frighten” customers for food and
money.
“These guys say to us, well you
can’t do anything because we’re
on the footpath,” he said.
“I haven’t seen the police round
here for ages, I think they can
do more. Why can’t they start
arresting these guys?”
CUT BACK: A large number of willow trees at a dog park
in The Groynes will be removed or trimmed next week.
PHOTO: NEWSLINE
Up to 100 willow
trees to go at park
A LARGE number of willow
trees by a popular dog park at
The Groynes are going to be
trimmed or removed from next
week.
Environment Canterbury
staff, along with a contractor,
will be cutting back the trees on
an 800m section of Ōtukaikino
Creek, between The Groynes
and Dickeys Rd.
The trees, which border the
pedestrian walkway along
Ōtukaikino Creek by the dog
park, are being removed or cut
back because they are in poor
health. Some are dropping limbs
into the creek and restricting
the flow of the waterway, while
others are showing signs of dieback.
Access to the walkway will
continue while work on the
trees is done, but there will be
some temporary diversions in
place for about four weeks.
Environment Canterbury
estimated that 100 or fewer trees
will be removed. New plants will
be planted in their place.

Initiative to get children growing
fruit and veges led by Lions club
A PROJECT which educates
children on the art of growing
your own fruit, vegetables and
flowers has sprouted at Belfast
School.
The venture led by the
Riccarton-Waimairi Lions Club,
starts this Saturday and includes
the installation of raised
vegetable boxes, outdoor tables
and seating within the school
grounds.
The club wanted to support
a community project in the
city’s north-west, and the need
for gardening facility was
identified during discussions
with the school, the Belfast
Community Network and
the Northwood Residents
Association.
“The extension to the
existing garden educational
area is to facilitate two teachers
who are dedicated to teaching
the pupils how to grow
vegetables, fruit and flowers
and in turn encourage pupils
to develop a garden at home to
provide fresh vegetables for the
family,” Geoff Rountree, of the
lions club, said.
“The teachers not only teach
gardening in school time but
also in lunch hours.”
Club members will be at
the Main North Rd site this
Saturday to start the project,
but still needed more “people
power” armed with gardening
and battery-powered tools.
Rountree said with the project
under way, further school
and community projects were
identified during discussions
with local groups.
Because of this, he said it
provided an opportunity to
establish a new Lions club
in the area to continue
supporting future needs in the
community.
“There is an opportunity for
a Lions club to be based within
the Belfast-Northwood area
supporting this community,”
said Rountree.
“We seek your consideration
and assistance for this to
happen.”
PLAN: A gardening project will soon sprout at Belfast School, which will teach children the
art of growing your own fruit, vegetables and flowers. ​

Foraging area to sprout up in red zone
A MUSHROOM-themed
education, play and foraging
area will sprout up in the
Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor
Regeneration Area in the coming
months.
The Mushroom Room will
feature at least six different native
and exotic species of edible
mushrooms for foragers, up to
five large art installations by
local artists,
four engaging
nature play
pieces, and
interactive
signage to
educate people
about the
Hayley
Guglietta
fast-growing
fungi.
The project
has received a $19,600 grant
from red zone consultative group
Te Tira Kāhikuhiku to help
bring the project to life by the
end of April this year.
Project proponent spokewoman
Hayley Guglietta said most of
the grant will be used to install
the nature play and artwork
pieces on the corner of Evelyn
Cousins Ave and River Rd in
Richmond.
The group has already spent
the past six months preparing

and inoculating the soil so that it
can be added to the site.
“Over the Covid-19 lockdown
there were lots of people out
using the former residential red
zone area. We want to encourage
people to continue doing that,
and connecting both with nature
and the area,” said Guglietta.
“This is the first part of a wider
vision we have. We’ve got exciting
plans to transform the area
from Swanns Rd to North Avon
Rd into an educational, familyfriendly
art trail and nature play
area that weaves among the old,
established gardens and fruit
trees that we want to continue
tending.”
TTK chairwoman Chrissie
Williams said that the project
will educate people on mushrooms,
while also providing a
new community hub for Richmond
residents and visitors.
“This project will be an
educational experience, but I’m
most excited about the use of
large-scale artworks to engage
the community” she said.
TTK is able to approve applications
to use former red zone land
on a temporary basis and can
issue grants for up to $20,000 to
help enable projects and activate
the regeneration areas.
Said Williams: “I really encourage
people to apply to use
the former residential red zone
land for community initiatives.
“We love ideas that connect
local communities, involve
volunteers and bring people into
the regeneration areas, and the
Red Zone Transitional Land Use
Fund can help bring those ideas
to life.”
The Mushroom Room is an
initiative of the Riverlution
Collective and driven by the
Richmond Community Garden.

5 DIY ways to improve your kitchen
The kitchen is one of the most influential
rooms in a home. Not only is it a room that we
all use daily, it’s one that can also influence
buyers when it comes to purchasing your
home. Kitchens are one of the most expensive
rooms to completely renovate and buyers
will appreciate it being done for them. But
you don’t have to spend a lot of money on
improving your kitchen.
A new coat of paint - If your kitchen feels
outdated or needs a new look, paint is your
answer. You can easily repaint the ceiling and
walls, cabinets, splashback tiles and even your
benchtop to freshen up the look and feel of
your kitchen. Take advantage of the latest
trending colour schemes to attract and appeal
to your buyer demographic.
New cabinets and handles - Swap out your
dated or tired looking cabinets and handles
for more modern, eye-catching designs to
give your kitchen an easy face lift. If you’ve
already painted the cabinets, replacing the
old handles will help you tie together the
colour scheme and make your kitchen more
stylish. Contemporary matte black handles
continue to dominate the kitchen trends as
they’re simple and can suit any interior style
so don’t go too crazy when you choose your
new designs.
Clean up the grout - Grout makes all the
difference in freshening a tired space. If you
have a tiled splashback, cleaning the grout
can make it look brand new. The same goes
for the tiles around the entire kitchen. You
might find that cleaning the silicone seals
simply isn’t working and you may need to
replace it altogether.
Replace your sink tap - If you’re feeling a little
more advanced in your DIY skills, consider
replacing your sink tap fixtures. An old tap
can easily date a kitchen and given how often
they’re used, have leaking issues or less
features than newer tap fixtures. Something
new and stylish will help tie the entire design
of your kitchen together and help make it look
brand new.
Include some art - Despite all of your DIY
effort, your kitchen may still need some
personality. Try hanging art or prints to help
bring the kitchen into the modern world
and create a vibe that buyers can associate
with. As long as the art is well out of reach of
water or flames, it can help add some colour
and texture to the space. You don’t need to
completely renovate your kitchen to bring it
into the modern world but you can improve
your kitchen with these simple DIY tips.

Property Management Education is the key to ensuring you are a
successful (and compliant!) Landlord
Happy new Year! While I know a lot of people
were very pleased to see the back of 2020, I
am sure you will agree we are now wondering
what 2021 has in store for us!
What we do know is that the latest round of
new legislation which was announced last
year is due to take effect on 11th February, so
it is almost upon us.
If you have not already studied up on these
latest amendments, then there is no time
like the present to ensure you are not only
aware of the changes but understand them, as
there is a very real difference, and, as is often
the case with tenancy law, I find that a lot of
people are confused and are working more on
‘rumours’ rather than facts.
The biggest changes are around the tenures
of tenancies, a tenant’s ability to make
alterations to the property, and a tenant’s
ability to re-assign their tenancy. This all
takes effect with any new tenancy agreement
signed from 11th February 2021.
While these changes certainly do sound daunting,
and I can almost hear your gasps of surprise, in
fact, if the processes are well managed and you
have an understanding of the legislation and your
obligations, then they are not anywhere near as
scary as they sound at first.
As I have said before, education is the key
to ensuring you have a successful rental
property. Gone are the days where you could
just ‘wing it’ and now more than ever it is
important to ensure you are on top of things,
and that you comply as failure to do so could
result in some hefty infringement fines.
If you would like a copy of the resources we
have put together to assist landlords please
