• By Bea Gooding<br />
RESIDENTS MAY still have<br />
time to convince the city council<br />
to retain a piece of land for a<br />
community space in Halswell<br />
instead of selling it.<br />
The city council is yet to decide<br />
on whether it will sell land no<br />
longer required at 66 Quaifes Rd<br />
after it was purchased to develop<br />
a stormwater retention and detention<br />
basin.<br />
A number of affordable housing<br />
providers, including Kāinga<br />
Ora, have already shown interest<br />
in buying the site to develop as a<br />
whole.<br />
But the Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />
Community Board wants<br />
at least a third of the surplus land<br />
to remain in city council ownership<br />
following calls to save it for<br />
the community, such as a hall.<br />

The city council always intended<br />

More land was acquired than<br />

willing to sell the part that the city<br />

Six years ago I spent several days at Birdlings Flat,<br />
an area I had not visited for over twenty years.<br />
It was a visit that would influence my painting<br />
in many ways. It added to my lexicon of places<br />
beside the sea that I often draw upon when<br />
working.<br />
Visually I was inspired by the shape of the hills<br />
and the conversations between sea, sky and land.<br />
I appreciated the austere elemental geology of<br />
the place. Not to get too esoteric about it, but I<br />
felt comfortable being uncomfortable there.<br />
Since then I have visited various parts of Banks<br />
Peninsula on a regular basis and each time I have<br />
come away with something new to explore via<br />
painting.<br />
Unlike earlier paintings these works are not<br />
seeking to capture or convey these landscapes.<br />
They are certainly shaped by it, but essentially<br />
are by-products of time spent walking, biking, or<br />
simply sitting and looking at local places.<br />

Cabbage trees to rise again<br />
• By Samantha Mythen<br />
OLIVER LEWIS’ passion for<br />
cabbage trees prompted him to<br />
start a fundraiser to buy 24 of the<br />
robust-trunked and sword-leafed<br />
trees.<br />
His goal: To replace the ones<br />
poisoned along the causeway<br />
section of the Coastal Pathway<br />
in 2018.<br />
Last week, in four hours, a<br />
fundraising goal of $633.60<br />
was reached. In total, $778 was<br />
raised, exceeding the amount<br />
needed to buy the 24 cabbage<br />
trees from Trees for Canterbury.<br />
Heathcote Ward city councillor<br />
Sara Templeton and <strong>May</strong>or<br />
Lianne Dalziel have both supported<br />
the fundraiser.<br />
Lewis, who lives in St Martins,<br />
started the fundraiser via a<br />
Givealittle page on <strong>May</strong> 13.<br />
Lewis, a freelance journalist,<br />
reported on the 2018 poisoning<br />
when he was working for The<br />
Press, calling it a “cold case cabbage<br />
tree killing”. The offender<br />
has not been found.<br />
“I’ve always felt miffed that<br />
someone had the audacity to<br />
poison the cabbage trees and on<br />
petty grounds,” said Lewis.<br />
“They should be replaced,<br />
protected and respected.”<br />
The reason behind Lewis’ fundraiser<br />
is his long-standing like<br />
of cabbage trees. “I have worked<br />
in Marlborough before, and<br />
along the east coast the cabbage<br />
trees stand out among the gold<br />
of the tussocks and the rust of<br />
the railways. They are beautiful<br />
trees,” he said.<br />
“They’re pioneering, they’re<br />
rugged – I quite like them.”<br />
Lewis said that unfortunately<br />
many people dislike the trees due<br />
to their habit of dropping tough<br />
leaves that often then get tangled<br />
up in lawnmowers.<br />
Lewis has since bought the<br />
trees and there will be a planting<br />
day in June in collaboration with<br />
the Christchurch Coastal Pathway<br />
Group and any volunteers<br />
who would like to help out.<br />
Pathway group chairman of<br />
the Hanno Sander said: “We’re<br />
excited that Oli’s fundraising to<br />
reinstate the trees has been so<br />
successful, with broad support<br />
from the community including<br />
the mayor.<br />
“We’re looking forward to a<br />
working bee where we’ll plant<br />
several hundred natives along<br />
Beachville Rd and the cabbage<br />
trees in their original locations.”<br />
Lewis still hopes to solve the<br />
mystery. Last week he dropped<br />
100 leaflets around Mt Pleasant,<br />
asking if anyone knew anything.<br />
If you have any information<br />
about the poisoning of the trees,<br />
email Oliver on oli.lewis720@<br />
gmail.com<br />
ON THE CASE: Oliver Lewis has raised over $700 to<br />
replace cabbage trees on the causeway that were<br />
poisoned.<br />

Dreams realised in spite of disability<br />
NOT EVEN a disability could<br />
get in Charlotte Holt’s way<br />
when it comes to fulfilling her<br />
dreams.<br />
The 18-year-old Villa Maria<br />
College student has earned a<br />
$10,000 scholarship towards<br />
fees to study law and arts at<br />
Canterbury University.<br />
Charlotte was diagnosed with<br />
mild to moderate hypotonic<br />
cerebral palsy at six-monthsold.<br />
A lack of tone in the<br />
muscles makes everyday movements<br />
difficult and exhausting.<br />
She said her strong sense of<br />
social justice and empathy for<br />
others was attributed to her<br />
time at the Champion Centre as<br />
a young child.<br />
“Perhaps from my time at the<br />
Champion Centre and my love<br />
of public speaking, I gravitated<br />
towards studying social justice<br />
and law at university,” she said.<br />
“It’s an opportunity to give<br />
back.”<br />
Based in Burwood, the<br />
Champion Centre is a nonprofit<br />
organisation providing<br />
early intervention for babies<br />
and children born prematurely,<br />
or with disabilities.<br />
Because Charlotte was<br />
continuously surrounded by<br />
children who also had a disability,<br />
she was not treated any<br />
differently.<br />
Her mother Jane said she<br />
was a very relaxed, but “floppy”<br />
baby.<br />
“We never put a label on<br />
Charlotte’s condition,” she said.<br />
Holt initially attended Milestones<br />
Centre for three months<br />
before she started at the Champion<br />
Centre at nine-monthsold,<br />
mainly with her mother.<br />
They would go in once a week<br />
and then eventually fortnightly<br />
until she was nearly two at the<br />
end of 2004.<br />
“While at the Champion<br />
Centre, Charlotte became very<br />
able with her fine motor skills.<br />
As well as sessions at the centre,<br />
we took her swimming a lot,”<br />
Jane said.<br />
“The staff that work there are<br />
incredible, very dedicated and<br />
amazing. Early intervention is<br />
so important, it’s your lifeline.”<br />
Charlotte’s nanas often came<br />
to the sessions as well.<br />
“My mother often found<br />
it quite emotional when she<br />
visited the centre, seeing what<br />
all these amazing children were<br />
achieving,” said Charlotte’s<br />
father Chris.<br />
“Charlotte definitely developed<br />
her personality and talent<br />
from the Champion Centre, she<br />
received a lot of attention. She<br />
has become very independent.”<br />
Growing up, Charlotte<br />
danced, sang and played sport.<br />
She then joined her two older<br />
sisters at Villa Maria, where<br />
she became an esteemed public<br />
speaker and achieved her grade<br />
7 trinity speech and drama<br />
exam.<br />
Last year, Charlotte applied<br />
for a tertiary scholarship<br />
through her father’s work at the<br />
Lyttelton Port Company that<br />
was available for children of<br />
employees to apply for.<br />
Through a selection process,<br />
she was awarded the scholarship<br />
which will be used towards<br />
university fees over the next<br />
two years.<br />
SUCCESS: Charlotte Holt<br />
has earned a $10,000<br />
scholarship that will go<br />
towards fees to study law<br />
and arts at Canterbury<br />
University.<br />

Waltham School is part of<br />
Canterbury Neighbourhood Support’s<br />
school programme.<br />
Co-ordinator Elissa Smith<br />
organised the visit so the pupils<br />
could learn about keeping safe<br />
in your community, the benefits<br />
of knowing your neighbours and<br />
being prepared for emergencies.<br />
“The focus of the visit is for<br />
children to have fun [and] at the<br />
same time, learning that the role<br />
of the police is to help and protect<br />
us,” she said.<br />
“This is important for children;<br />
they need assurance that adults<br />
are sorting out things that seem<br />
scary to children.<br />
“Some children have a fear<br />
of the police because they hear<br />
or are threatened by comments<br />
from adults that describe police<br />
in a negative way.”<br />
The children were given an opportunity<br />
to ask questions.<br />
“We were impressed with<br />
the range of questions and<br />
how well they were thought<br />
out,” said Senior Sergeant Roy<br />
Appley.<br />
Pupils asked if the police<br />
worked at night, why the lights<br />
are blue and red and one of the<br />
most respectful questions was “if<br />
it’s such a dangerous job, why did<br />
you choose to do it?”<br />
Canterbury Neighbourhood<br />
Support runs the programme in<br />
14 primary schools in Christchurch.<br />
It is a leadership opportunity<br />
for students.<br />
They choose and lead projects<br />
in their school that cover<br />
information from emergency<br />
services, projects that benefit the<br />
local environment or develop<br />
empathy and community spirit in<br />
children.<br />
The long-term goal of the<br />
programme is that these children<br />
will be active members of their<br />
community and developing the<br />
Neighbourhood Support concept<br />
of looking after your neighbours<br />
to create safer, and more resilient<br />
communities.<br />

Retirement village workers recognised for achievements<br />
THREE SPREYDON retirement<br />
village workers are still floating<br />
after winning not one, but<br />
four awards between them at<br />
the Heritage Lifecare Prestige<br />
Awards.<br />
The leadership traits of Caroline<br />
Doole, Gail Kerse<br />
and Urmee Rahman were the<br />
foundations that the team at<br />
George Manning Lifecare and<br />
Village relied on during the past<br />
year.<br />
Heritage Lifecare has more<br />
than 48 care homes and villages<br />
throughout New Zealand, and<br />
staff gathered to celebrate their<br />
achievements in spite of a challenging<br />
2020.<br />
Kerse was recognised for her<br />
“exceptional leadership” and<br />
received the care home manager<br />
of the year award.<br />
She was acknowledged for<br />
building a cohesive team and<br />
promoting positive work culture<br />
with an approachable leadership<br />

“I was really blown away,” she<br />

recognition for the work we do.<br />
I was so proud of our residents<br />

ESTUARY MATTERS<br />
Huge turnout for planting day<br />
The Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust is a non-profit<br />
organisation formed to protect one of New Zealand’s<br />
most important coastal wetlands. Each week, board<br />
members will discuss matters regarding the estuary,<br />
its rich history and what makes it unique. This week<br />
Tanya Jenkins writes about a successful planting day at<br />
Charlesworth Reserve<br />
and how they followed directions<br />
to the letter.”<br />
Doole was the supreme winner<br />
of the a better everyday award,<br />
and was care home and village<br />
support person of the year.<br />
It was because of her<br />
outstanding attitude, skills,<br />
knowledge, and approach that<br />
has seen her become an expert<br />
across both finance and rostering<br />
systems.<br />
Said Doole: “I was already<br />
overwhelmed at being a finalist,<br />
but to then go on to win these<br />
awards had me speechless.”<br />
Rahman, George Manning’s<br />
clinical manager, was awarded<br />
clinical services manager of<br />
the year for her exceptional<br />
leadership qualities and clinical<br />
expertise.<br />
Due to all the work she did<br />
during the Covid-19 response,<br />
she was asked to input into the<br />
Canterbury District Health<br />
Board’s Covid-19 toolkit.<br />
Rahman said it felt amazing<br />
to win the award but was very<br />
quick to point out that it was a<br />
team effort.<br />
“Without our incredible team<br />
this wouldn’t have been possible.<br />
It was a total collaboration from<br />
top to bottom, with everyone involved<br />
working to the extreme,”<br />
she said.<br />
Kerse said the awards meant<br />
a huge amount to everyone at<br />
George Manning.<br />
IT IS 10am on Sunday, <strong>May</strong> 16,<br />
and volunteers are streaming<br />
into the Charlesworth Reserve<br />
car park ready with spades,<br />
gloves and enthusiasm.<br />
Eighteen-month-old Hugo<br />
carried by mum Merodie Rose<br />
was keen to show me his wee<br />
spade and the plant he was going<br />
to plant in the reserve.<br />
Fabulous to see 85 keen locals<br />
arrive to place 1400 native tree<br />
NATURE: More than 80 volunteers flocked to<br />
Charlesworth Reserve to plant 1400 native trees as part<br />
of the Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust’s restoration<br />
projects.<br />
seedlings in the reserve to add to<br />
the some 120.000 already planted<br />
here since the start of this wetland<br />
restoration project in 2004.<br />
Even more encouraging was<br />
the number of families present<br />
this year (our 17th annual planting<br />
event) to show the youngsters<br />
how and why we plant here.<br />
The why of course being a list<br />
of very good reasons including<br />
habitat for birds, lizards and insects,<br />
food for birds, nesting and<br />
roosting sites for birds, offsetting<br />
carbon emissions, soil erosion<br />
prevention, filtering polluted<br />
water before it enters the estuary,<br />
safe cycling and walking, providing<br />
a fantastic view for those<br />
living in view of the wetland<br />
and not in the least – a place to<br />
recharge your batteries.<br />
Walk among the creeks,<br />
ponds, observe the birdlife and<br />
KEEN HELPER: Merodie Rose and 18-month-old son<br />
Hugo with his spade ready to help planting.<br />
gain a sense of well-being that<br />
is often only achieved when you<br />
immerse yourself with nature.<br />
All in all, a successful day organised<br />
by the estuary trust with<br />
the city council park rangers and<br />
the fabulous staff of Trees for<br />
Canterbury native tree nursery.<br />
And now? We have another<br />
1400 trees to be weeded. You are<br />
welcome of course, to assist on<br />
Sundays between 2 and 4pm for<br />
this task.<br />

Prepare your<br />
home for winter<br />
Preventative home<br />
maintenance tips<br />
Check your water tanks, pipes<br />
and outside taps<br />
Consider turning off outside taps to avoid<br />
freezing and bursting. Covering water<br />
tanks and pipes is a cost-effective way of<br />
preventing this and reduces heat loss.<br />
Consider your outdoor safety<br />
and security<br />
With the evenings being darker earlier,<br />
frosts on outdoor steps, decks and pathways<br />
are a slipping hazard.<br />
Ensure you have adequate outdoor<br />
lighting, a clutter free and smooth pathway<br />
to your rubbish bins, woodpile, external<br />
garage or sleepout.<br />
Clean up spills immediately. Consider<br />
moisture-absorbent mats and handrails.<br />
Cut back your trees<br />
With the leaves already fallen, now is a<br />
good time to assess your trees and trim<br />
back any dead branches and branches<br />
overhanging your windows, spouting and<br />
roof. Check your roof for leaks, loose nails,<br />
and that it has a sound coating. Also look<br />
for moss and algae.<br />
Clear your gutters, drains and<br />
downpipes<br />
An accumulation of autumn leaves can<br />
quickly block gutters, which can lead to<br />
roof leaks, overflow and flooding. Consider<br />
protecting your gutters from birds, hail and<br />
leaves.<br />
Stagnant water may freeze resulting in<br />
gutters and downpipes coming loose or<br />
collapsing.<br />
Blocked drains are a potential health<br />
hazard, create an unpleasant odour and<br />
attracts bugs and small pests.<br />
Store your seasonal equipment<br />
with care<br />
Before you put your lawnmower and<br />
weedeater away for the season, run low or<br />
drain the petrol. Petrol goes off and come<br />
spring your old petrol can adversely affect<br />
the performance of your equipment and<br />
block up your filters.<br />
Cover outdoor furniture and secure<br />
items, such as trampolines, which may get<br />
blown around in strong winds.<br />
Consider options to extend your outdoor<br />
living all year round.<br />
Upgrade your home<br />
with wall tiles<br />
Winter is here and what better time to<br />
accomplish some DIY home improvements<br />
which will add value to your home.<br />
A new easy to install waterproof wall tile<br />
has recently arrived in New Zealand. The<br />
Styletile brand by Dumawall is lightweight<br />
and offers seamless joins which any<br />
homeowner can install themselves without<br />
the added expense of a tiler.<br />
The decorative tile selection comes in<br />
a range of contemporary colours that<br />
suit a variety of interior spaces including<br />
bathrooms and shower walls, kitchen, and<br />
food preparation areas as well as laundry<br />
and washdown sections. Highlight your<br />
feature walls and large areas as these tiles<br />
can add a whole new look and feel to your<br />
home.<br />
This do-it-yourself-tile is quick and<br />
provides the look of ceramic tiles with<br />
an interlocking tongue and groove<br />
system which can be easily cut on site<br />
with a handsaw, circular skillsaw or<br />
jigsaw. Styletile is easy and doesn’t need<br />
complicated grout lines or tools or the costs<br />
associated with ceramic tiles.<br />
Dumafix is a high-quality, quick<br />
hardening adhesive suitable for fixing and<br />
installing on any surface, whether porous<br />
or non-porous.<br />
Have you been thinking about your next<br />
home project? Have you been thinking<br />

Less waste,<br />
more purpose<br />
It is fascinating exploring Musgroves’<br />
sheds where there is a huge variety of<br />
recycled and new building products. This<br />
iconic Canterbury company has been<br />
recycling building materials for the last<br />
50 years and they’re really good at it. Not<br />
only do they have an incredible range of<br />
products that are amazingly well organised,<br />
but they have also built themselves a<br />
reputation for providing exceptional<br />
service. The reviews from their many<br />
customers (whether they be homeowners,<br />
business owners or tradies) repeatedly refer<br />
to the care and commitment of Musgroves’<br />
long-serving team members who have gone<br />
above and beyond to assist them with their<br />
many and varied project needs.<br />
General manager, Sue Brown, confirms<br />
that Musgroves has thousands of repeat<br />
customers who come from all round<br />
the South Island (and beyond) to find<br />
treasures for their projects. Whether it<br />
be to look for T&G flooring for their new<br />
build, or for a french door for their home<br />
renovation, or for a sliding door for their<br />
sleep out, or for doors and windows for<br />
their child’s playhouse, or for timber beams<br />
for a business fitout or for some roofing<br />
materials to fix a leak, these are just a few<br />
of the reasons why people come to visit<br />
Musgroves.<br />
There is no question that upcycling and<br />
recycling is alive and well at Musgroves<br />
in Wigram and once you’ve talked to any<br />
member of the Musgroves team you soon<br />
get a sense that sustainability is not just a<br />
fad here, but rather it is in their<br />
DNA and until you’ve paid them a<br />
visit you can’t fully appreciate the<br />

Prepare your<br />
home for winter<br />
Did you know that healthy trees can add<br />
up to 20% to the value of your property?<br />
You may not think about it<br />
that often – but the trees on<br />
your property are a lifetime<br />
investment.<br />
Carefully selected trees on your property<br />
provide more than beauty - they increase<br />
the value of your home. Several recent<br />
surveys have shown that mature trees in<br />
a well-landscaped garden can increase<br />
the value of a house by 7 per cent to<br />
19 per cent.<br />
Experts indicate that a well-maintained<br />
garden with mature trees can add<br />
thousands to a home’s value and speed up<br />
a house sale too.<br />
In addition to adding significant value<br />
at the point of sale, trees also serve very<br />
practical and functional (as well as<br />
aesthetic) purposes for homeowners. They<br />
frame beautiful, relaxing, and pleasant<br />
landscapes and help keep a house cooler<br />
and protected from destructive winds and<br />
weather.<br />
Many tree care companies simply chop,<br />
cut, and call the job done. However, after<br />
speaking with THE TREE PEOPLE, it<br />
quickly became apparent that they are<br />
different. Simply put, they know your<br />
home is your haven and will always ensure<br />
it is treated that way.<br />
Started by Ra and Megan Hammer in<br />
2004, THE TREE PEOPLE knew early on<br />
that their ethos and approach was going to<br />
be different. They never simply chop and<br />
cut, and instead pride themselves on the<br />
fact that they go against the grain of how<br />
many other arborists operate. They can<br />
help with any tree and pride themselves on<br />
being able to do so. They can remove large<br />
dangerous trees safely, look after the trees<br />
that you care about, transplant established<br />
trees with care and offer expert advice on<br />
all ‘things’ trees.<br />
Speaking with passion about what he<br />
does, chief tree hugger Ra Hammer shares,<br />
“We had some very clear goals when we<br />
started the business that we still ‘live by’<br />
today. It was important to us to preserve<br />
and maintain trees sustainably, to provide<br />
an environment that helps our customers<br />
to enjoy harmonious relationships with<br />
their trees, to offer excellent affordable tree<br />
care and to always adhere to best practice.<br />
I am proud to say that, 16 years later, we<br />
still live and breathe these goals”.<br />
To remove those dangerous trees,<br />
hard to reach over hanging branches<br />
and to add value to your property, call<br />
Ra, Megan and the team at THE TREE<br />
PEOPLE today.<br />

Prepare your<br />
home for winter<br />
Buy — sell — reside with<br />
peace of mind<br />
Any property, old or new, can have<br />
hidden problems. It is important to know<br />
the true condition of your current, or<br />
potential property.<br />
An AA House Check report can provide<br />
you with the confidence to buy or sell with<br />
no surprises.<br />
Property examinations provide detailed<br />
room by room inspections, including<br />
roof cavity, insulation, flooring, electrical,<br />
plumbing, drainage, hot water systems,<br />
roofing, decks, paths and driveways,<br />
garages, asbestos identification and more.<br />
A BOINZ accredited building surveyor<br />
can also carry out moisture checks,<br />
residential foundation inspections,<br />
earthquake damage repair assessments and<br />
methamphetamine testing.<br />
Serving Canterbury homeowners,<br />
landlords and prospective home buyers for<br />
over 15 years AA House Checks have your<br />
house inspection needs covered.<br />
