‘Disgusting’: Vandals target
toy library several times
• By Bea Gooding
VOLUNTEERS AT a toy
library are “disgusted” that
their community facility
has been a target of repeated
vandalism in the last two
months.
Since December 4, the
Hornby Toy Library has been
tagged four times. In the past
year alone, volunteers have
had to spend $2000 replacing
broken windows that were
intentionally smashed.
“I’m disgusted people would
do that. We could’ve bought
a lot more new toys with the
$2000 spent on glass,” said
chairperson Amanda Cosgrove.
“It takes all our time and effort
away from what we should
be doing.”
Aside from one paid librarian
who works eight hours a week,
the small team comprised of
volunteers who poured their
own personal resources into
the facility.
The library has been a place
to borrow toys in Hornby for
more than 20 years but only
now has it been a target for
undesirable behaviour.

Green-thumbed Peter’s achievements grow
• By Bea Gooding
IT ISN’T cheap to maintain an
award-winning garden each year,
particularly in a city teeming
with fierce and passionate
competitors.
Northwood resident Peter
Lawrence is no stranger to
the Christchurch Beautifying
Association summer garden
competition and has worked
what felt like “25 hours a day”
maintaining his $10,000 garden.
Many hours and early mornings
have now paid off as he has
taken out 11 awards at the annual
competition this year.
Regarded as one of the city’s
best gardeners, it was not his
first win – he even has a trophy
named after him for the rest
home and retirement village
category and has claimed nearly
100 awards since he started competing
in 1974.
But taking home the premier
garden award this year, or the
Ruske Cup, was an achievement
he was most proud of.
Said Lawrence: “It’s overwhelming
really, there are some
lovely gardens out there. Hopefully,
it brings some pleasure to
other people by looking at it.
“The premier is the ultimate
award really, so it felt good to get
[it].”
This year alone he planted

7500 plants, including marigolds,
petunias and begonias. His backyard
oasis also features a glasslike
water fountain, sculptures
and a perfectly-trimmed lawn.
Lots of bedding was involved,
he said.
“Majority of it is planting the
garden out – that’s the hardest
work. Now it’s just managing it,
keeping the water up and mowing
the lawns,” said Lawrence.
The recent water restrictions
imposed by the city council
during summer, which were
lifted earlier this month, proved
a challenge when it came to
maintaining water levels.
Like all residents, he was
restricted to using hoses and
sprinklers on alternate days and
could not use water between
certain hours. In spite of this, his
garden came out of the season
unscathed.
Said Lawrence: “I managed to
work around that – I had to get
up earlier in the morning and
put the hoses on, it was a
bit inconvenient but never
mind.”
Bringing about happiness in
the community with his unique
designs fuelled the passion
further, but it was not the only
reason why he delved into the
world of horticulture to begin
with.
“My grandfather was a very
good gardener,” said Lawrence.
“I couldn’t play competitive
sport, so I took my frustrations
out on the garden.”
Lawrence said the nature of
his previous work also played a
part in the growth of his talent
as the former funeral director of
Academy Funeral Services.
Although he was semi-retired,
he was still a contractor at the
home.
In spite of being a veteran
competition winner, Lawrence
has never been met with tension
or hostility by other keen
horticulturists who strived to live
up to the Garden City image as
much as he did.
As well as hard work, the key
to success, he said, was putting
your own stamp on your garden.
“My style of gardening may not
be like other people. One of the
gardens was full of succulents, it
was beautiful,” he said.
“Carry on with your passion,
you never know what’s around
the corner.”

Online store next step for
specialist footwear shop
Just over a year since the doors first opened, The
Shoe Room in Upper Riccarton is about to launch
a new service for customers – an online store.
Owned by podiatrist Charlotte Russell, who
also owns and operates the podiatry clinic Feet
First, The Shoe Room was part of the clinic
before increasing demand for fashionable,
functional footwear prompted her to open the
specialist shop in December 2019.
“The online store is the next ‘big thing’ for
us, and it means that a much wider customer
base will have access to our extensive range,”
Charlotte says.
Customers logging on to the online store will
find photographs of the shoes taken from every
angle as well as information on the designs and
materials used to make them. A size guide on
the website shows how to measure feet, which
Charlotte encourages people to use so they can
be sure of ordering the right size.
The Shoe Room stocks a number of leading
international footwear brands, and the range has
recently been extended with the addition of the
popular Ziera brand. Also, in addition to Propét,
the store now stocks the Dr Comfort range of
medical footwear.
While The Shoe Room’s main focus is on
women’s footwear, the men’s range is also being
expanded, Charlotte says.
Business has grown steadily over the last 12
months, both through word of mouth and with
customers returning to purchase second and
third pairs of shoes, which Charlotte says is
largely due to the service her staff provides.
“That’s our point of difference. Shop manager
Maxine and shop assistant Carol are very friendly
and welcoming and are able to build a rapport
with customers by providing that all-important
personal service and making sure customers get
shoes that fit correctly, are comfortable and look
nice on their feet.”
The Shoe Room’s online store will go live in
February, a fitting complement to the physical
store, which is located at Unit 3, 355 Riccarton
Road, opposite the Lone Star.
Opening hours are Monday 10am-5.30pm,
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday 9.30am-5.30pm,
Thursday 9.30am-5.30pm with late night
Tuesday by appointment only, Saturday 10am-
4pm. However, the online store will be open 24/7.
The Shoe Room looks forward to meeting all of
your footwear requirements.

Three new security cameras
have been installed
• From page 1
It all started at the end of
2019 when the front door
had been smashed, and
the library was forced to
use another entrance. The
windows also suffered the
same fate several times
since then.
Just before Boxing Day,
the building was broken
into, but luckily nothing
was stolen as an alarm
sounded just in time.
“It’s meant to be all about
the kids, I’d rather be
focusing on them not worrying
about tagging and
boarding windows up.”
Cosgrove was not sure
who the perpetrators could
be but had an idea of why
the library was suddenly a
target.
A demolished school
nearby used to bear the
brunt of vandalism in the
area, but now vandals have
set their sights on the library,
which “looks like an
abandoned building.”
Cosgrove was not sure if
this was a widespread issue
in Hornby.
“It’s just a building sitting
there on its own on a massive
block of land. From a
taggers point of view, it’s
in a prime position on the
main road,” she said.
Since news spread of the
library’s predicament, the
community have banded
together to support them,
including the Greater
Hornby Residents Association
and the Hornby
Rotary.
Three new security
cameras have since been
installed and were donated
by web agency Webmad. A
team from the city council
also re-painted the library
for free.
The library plans to
install new floodlights and
fencing once funding allowed.
UNSIGHTLY: Vandalism and tags on the Hornby
Toy Library. It has been hit several times in the
last two months.
“Things like that brings
tears to my eyes. It makes
you want to carry on with
the library and see it blossom.”
A givealittle page has
been set up to support ongoing
costs at the Hornby
Toy Library. To donate,

PETER AND CATHARINE EXCITED
TO BE RICCARTON PARK BOUND
Peter and Catharine Craig are on the
countdown to moving in to Riccarton Park
Retirement Village, and are very excited
by how close they’ll be to the track and
horses. They have both followed gallops
and harness racing around the world and
love the atmosphere around a big day.
They say they will enjoy both the village
community and being able to easily fit their
possessions into their new home.
When Peter and Catharine noticed that
Ryman had bought land to develop near the
Riccarton racecourse, they started thinking
afresh about a move from their home in
Hoon Hay Road.
Then Riccarton Park Sales Advisor Wendy
Kappler showed them the three-bedroom
townhouse floor plan. It included space
and importantly a large garage to meet
their storage and vehicle access needs.
Plus, there are the ‘horses’.
Peter is originally from Auckland and says
he is ‘dual coded’. He has been going
to harness racing and the gallops since
the days of Alexandra Park and Ellerslie
racecourse events in the 1960s. Both his
parents and grandparents were keen on
the sport in those days. His father’s cousin
Thayne Green was a part owner of Sunline,
a horse that went on to earn nearly $14
million in a race career that included two
Cox Plates.
The interest in racing and horse breeding
took place during a long career as an
accountant including seven years with The
Treasury and twenty five with IRD.
In the world of harness racing Peter’s had
ownership interests in several successful
harness horses that he either raced or bred.
He’s also researched and written about
the industry.
Catharine is a gardener, and was brought
up in the Isle of Thanet, Kent, a county also
known as ‘the garden of England’. She says
the couple met while both working for Inland
Revenue in Wellington and she has enjoyed
travelling to meet other horse racing fans.
That has included regular catchups for the
Inter Dominion Pacing Championship that
has been contested since 1936 in locations
including Perth, Adelaide, Christchurch,
Launceston, Melbourne, Auckland and
Sydney. It is fair to say they like travel
and adventure.
Ryman Healthcare’s work on a new
retirement village at the stunning
Riccarton Park location has been
progressing quickly and residents who have
signed up, including Peter and Catharine,
have been excited to see roofs in place and
cladding on the homes.
Peter reckons theirs is the fifth roof on.
“We’ve seen the floor plate go down, we’ve
seen the framing go up, we’ve seen the
roof framing go up... from the racecourse
actually.”
As New Zealand’s largest retirement village
operator, Ryman purchased a 5-hectare site
at Riccarton Park, off Steadman Road, and
is working on the first stage of townhouses
for occupation in 2021.
The facilities include an indoor swimming
pool, a movie theatre, café, hair and beauty
salons, a woodland forest walk as well as
special spectator decks looking out over
Riccarton Racecourse.
The village will provide multiple living
options. The plans includes one, two and
three bedroom apartments and two and
three bedroom townhouses. There will also
be assisted living in serviced apartments
and resthome, hospital and dementia care.
The village will create significant
construction jobs, as well as long-term
sustainable jobs for more than 160 staff.

Enrolment Scheme Amendment
To avoid overcrowding, the Wigram Primary School -
Te Piki Kāhu Board of Trustees has been asked by the
Ministry of Education to make an amendment to our
enrolment scheme.
Under this amendment, we are proposing that students will
be enrolled if they live within the home zone.
The enrolment of out-of-zone students is governed by the
provisions of the Education Act 1989. The proposed
enrolment scheme, which includes a precise description of the
home zone, may be viewed at the school office, where copies
of the scheme are also available, or on our school website.
If you have any feedback on the proposed amendment to our
zone, please contact us on office@wigramprimary.school.nz
by 15 March 2021.
