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 

EDUCATION: A mushroom-themed education, play and foraging area will soon sprout in 

the Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor Regeneration Area in April.

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.

have put together to assist landlords please
