Family trust 

launches 

fundraiser 

after 

$30,000 

burglary 


A FAMILY trust has launched a 

fundraiser in a bid to fill a $30,000 

financial hole left by a burglar 

who stole dozens of youth camp 

equipment items. 

Kiwi Family Trust staff 

members arrived at the 

Phillipstown premises to find 

items strewn all over the car 

park, with doors to the storage 

container and trailers hanging 

wide open. 

THey soon realised that most 

of the camp equipment used 

for youth trips had been stolen, 

including three kayaks, 15 fishing 

rods, a brand new fridge and 

freezer, a barbecue and tents. 

Although the trust was insured, 

there was still an excess to pay. 

To cover the shortfall, the trust 

has set up a Givealittle page to 

purchase new equipment in time 

for warmer weather activities in 

October. 

A police spokeswoman said a 

54-year-old man was arrested and 

is due to appear in the district 

court on August 17, facing a 

charge of burglary.

the project team has delivered 

the facility ahead of the original 

target opening, and within 

budget. 

“In preparation for the opening, 

we’re currently recruiting 

and training the team who’ll be 

working there. 

“A great community facility is 

more than just a building – it’s 

the team, how they provide for 

the needs of the community and 

make it an enjoyable place to 

visit.” 

Linwood Ward city councillor 

Yani Megan 

Johanson has welcomed the 

opening date announcement. 

“It is great to see the muchanticipated 

facility coming 

close to completion. It is a true 

testament to the hard work 

of so many people who have 

advocated for this pool over the 

past 20 years to see it become a 

reality,” he said. 

“I am sure it will make a 

positive splash in the local 

community as people have 

been looking forward to it 

being open. 

“I also want to acknowledge 

the stellar work of the project 

team – despite the Covid-19 

challenges it has remained on 

budget and ahead of time.” 

The facility on the corner 

of Smith St and Linwood Ave 

will have a multi-use 25m lane 

pool, a deep water splash pool, a 

family spa pool, a learn-to-swim 

pool, and a pool and water deck 

for toddlers. 

There will also be a kitchen 

and two community rooms, 

while outside there will be picnic 

tables, tennis, basketball and 

multi-use courts, cycle stands, 

parking and plenty of open 

areas. 

A formal opening with guests 

will take place on the afternoon 

of October 1, with opening 

activities planned across 

the weekend. 

In Brief 

INTERSECTION 

IMPROVEMENTS 

Construction will start on Monday 

to improve the Beckenham St, 

Fisher Ave and Norwood St intersection 

as part of the Innovating 

Streets for People – Pilot Fund. 

Work includes installing temporary 

build-out areas, pedestrian 

crossing point improvements and 

line marking. It is expected to 

finish in two weeks. 

LANE CLOSURE 

A one-way system is now in 

place on Cashmere Rd, between 

Mavin Rd and Shalamar Drive. 

The north-bound lane will be 

closed for the next six weeks to 

make space for workers and heavy 

machinery to reconstruct the 

road. It is part of work to upgrade 

the Cashmere, Hoon Hay and 

Worsleys Rds intersection, which 

includes installing traffic signals.

First purpose-built centre with trained 

• From page 1 

A bookworm at heart, Barsby 

has witnessed the library scene 

reinvent itself in the past 20 years 

to keep up with the community’s 

ever-changing demands. 

But even as society furthers 

into the digital era, she had no 

concerns that people would 

turn their backs on a good story, 

especially now with advances like 

e-books and Kindles. 

“Technology is the biggest 

change, a lot more people have 

their own devices,” she said. 

“The earthquakes changed the 

demographic of this area quite a 

lot. There used to be mainly older 

adults or young families, but 

people moved from town out to 

the suburbs.” 

Spreydon Library was the first 

purpose-built centre in the city 

to be staffed by the city council 

with trained librarians. Most 

libraries at the time were run by 

volunteers. 

It first opened in 1929 from 

the remodelled Borough Council 

Chambers at the current 

Barrington St site as a volunteerled 

community library. 

It continued operating that 

way until the city council started 

a new network of suburban 

public libraries following a boom 

in book stocks, starting with 

Spreydon from 1971. 

The rebuild cost $52,061, with 

the library initially housing 

17,000 books. 

“With over 75 years of combined business 

experience, we personalise home and 

business loans for Cantabrians.”

DUMPING 

THROUGH THE DECADES: Spreydon Library in the 1940s 

(left) and 1950s and how it looks today in Barrington St. 

libraries across the city. 

All of this would not be 

possible without the passion 

and efforts of librarian Ernest 

Bell, who campaigned to make 

libraries public and to improve 

reading in the community more 

than 70 years ago. 

“If every library was its 

own little community run by 

themselves, they wouldn’t have 

the resources or funding,” said 

Barsby. 

“Now we have a huge 

collection that floats between all 

libraries.” 

For library assistant Joanne 

Rowe, the Spreydon facility is 

more than just a library - it is a 

place of refuge. 

Over time the library has 

developed a strong bond with 

the community through daily 

activities, and events such as 

technology help groups, musical 

performances, book clubs, or JP 

services. 

But Rowe said being 

sandwiched between Hillmorton 

Hospital and Salvation Army 

addiction services created some 

unique challenges. 

As a warm and dry place to go, 

the library also attracted the odd 

homeless person. 

“Sometimes they’ll spend the 

whole day there because they just 

want to be amongst people to 

talk,” she said.

librarians 

(Below) – Barbara Moorhouse cuts a cake to mark 

Spreydon Library’s 25th anniversary in 1996. 

“Some people come in 

intoxicated, in broad daylight. 

“Some people are going through 

mental health issues; they could 

be having a bad day but they 

happen to be in the library that 

day, so you do what you can to 

help.” 

The library has been through 

some trials and tribulations itself. 

It was threatened with closure 

when South Library was being 

built until the city council did a 

U-turn. 

Because Spreydon Library was 

already a huge part of residents’ 

lives, they rallied together and 

produced a 3500 signature 

petition against the proposal. 

Having worked in a 

number of libraries prior to 

Spreydon, including central 

city, New Brighton and Sumner, 

Barsby was glad their efforts paid 

off. 

As a passionate reader, 

especially in the fantasy genre, 

it meant she could continue 

working in a place she loved and 

be surrounded by thousands of 

book titles every day. 

•Spreydon Library is 

marking the occasion with 

a free social morning tea to 

share stories next Tuesday 

from 10.30am to 12.30pm.

Damaged bins came out on top 

with 108 tickets, with residential 

property files and missed bin 

collections placing second and 

third with 103 and 99 tickets 

respectively. 

Fifty-nine per cent (717) of 

residents chose to report concerns 

by phone, email or walk-in, while 

41 per cent (497) did so online 

through Snap Send Solve and 

Hybris Online. 

But by the conclusion of the report 

last month, 281 tickets were 

still open, or uncompleted. 

The ticket report was included

Accessible homes near completion 


Arnah 

Trelease 

TWO NEW purpose-built 

homes are about to welcome 

12 residents with intellectual 

disabilities as a result of growing 

demand. 

The finishing touches to 

Hōhepa Canterbury’s $2.2 

million project at its Barrington 

St campus are under way, 

earmarked for completion in 

nine weeks’ time. 

But the fundraising campaign 

is not over yet – the trust still 

needs another $250,000 to 

achieve the project mortgage-free. 

General 

manager Arnah 

Trelease said the 

accessible homes 

will provide 

disabled people 

with more independence 

while 

having access to 

important wellbeing 

services. 

“The houses have been 

purpose-built with disabled people 

in mind. No matter whether 

someone has a physical disability 

or not, they can live comfortably 

in these homes,” she said. 

“We were thoughtful about 

the design in that it’s really light, 

bright and spacious, and people 

can live in a way where they 

feel free and connected to the 

landscape outside.” 

Hōhepa provides residential, 

vocational, therapy and community 

participation services to 

empower disabled people with 

the skills to live independently. 

About 140 people are supported 

in homes across the city 

– either at Hōhepa’s Somerfield 

or Halswell campuses or at 14 

homes situated within the wider 

community. 

With 60 people on the wait 

list, the trust’s services are in 

constant demand. 

“It’s important to have purpose-built 

homes because there’s 

a lack of accessible housing in 

New Zealand,” said Trelease. 

The Sutherland and Lamar 

houses were both named after 

trusts that made matching 

$500,000 donations to the project 

and contributed significantly 

to Hōhepa’s activities. 

Each four-bedroom dwelling 

will have a self-contained, twobedroom 

flat adjoining it, and 

is intended to be a permanent 

home for residents who move in. 

They include features not commonly 

found in regular flats and 

homes, including wider doorways 

and hallways, having no 

stairs to navigate, and spacious 

and accessible bathrooms. 

The simple layout is designed 

to assist with way-finding and 

open plan living areas will support 

communal activities. 

PURPOSE- 

BUILT: 

An artist’s 

impression 

of the new 

homes for 

people 

living with 

intellectual 

disabilities. 

Support staff will also be living 

on-site on a permanent basis. 

Trelease said having the homes 

so close to the campus allows 

residents to readily participate 

in activities such as cycle safety, 

craft or walking groups. 

“They can walk from their 

home to access these programmes, 

but they can also walk 

next door to visit friends or catch 

the bus to the mall,” she said. 

“We want people to be as independent 

as possible and to feel 

like they’ve got somewhere safe 

to come back to.” 

Trelease and her team now 

have the tough decision of 

choosing who will occupy 

the homes. 

Playground 

equipment 

awaits approval 

• By Samantha Mythen 

THE Linwood-Central- 

Heathcote Community Board 

will today discuss approving new 

playground equipment for Te 

Papa Kura Redcliffs. 

The playground equipment will 

include a swing set donated by 

Ruth and Jeremy Markham-Short. 

They are hoping to donate the 

swing set in memory of their 

23-month-old son Reuben who 

died in late 2020. 

The parents spoke to the board 

about the idea earlier in the year, 

sharing their personal story of 

loss. 

During the meeting, board 

chairwoman Alexandra Davids 

said: “Everyone is very supportive 

of this effort and it will absolutely 

go ahead.” 

Reuben contracted meningococcal 

disease. He loved playing 

on the swings. 

The parents would like to see 

the swing set at the park as it is 

near where Reuben went to preschool. 

Alongside the swing set, there 

will be a small slide, nature play, 

including boulders and stepping 

posts, and safety surfacing. 

The city council, in a report 

to the community board, is 

recommending that it approves 

the plan.

Sleeping on hospital floor could 

soon be a thing of the past 

THE SUPPORT people 

of mothers giving birth at 

Christchurch Women’s Hospital 

often resort to sleeping on the 

floor if staying overnight. 

It is why the Māia Health 

Foundation aims to raise 

$44,000 to buy 20 specialist 

chairs, providing a comfortable 

place for them to stay alongside a 

new mother and baby. 

Currently, a support person 

can stay at the hospital but their 

choices of where to sleep are 

limited. 

They are provided with either 

an uncomfortable chair or a 

vinyl mattress on the floor. 

“That’s not an ideal solution 

and it’s not very welcoming,” 

said Norma Campbell, director 

of midwifery for the Canterbury 

and West Coast District Health 

Board. 

Each year more than 5500 

women give birth at the 

women’s hospital. It is the South 

Island’s largest secondary/ 

tertiary hospital and the 

hub for the Fetal Maternal 

Medicine Service. 

UNCOMFORTABLE: Canterbury and West Coast District Health board director of midwifery 

Norma Campbell with the current sleeping arrangements for support people. 

The specialised chairs the 

foundation is fundraising for 

are designed for hospital 

environments. 

During the day they can be 

used as a sofa chair for visitors 

or a breastfeeding chair for the 

mother, and in the evening they 

convert into a lie-flat bed. 

“The staff at Christchurch 

Women’s Hospital go above and 

beyond every day to care for our 

community’s newest families. 

It’s time we cared for them and 

gave our new mums, babies and 

families all the support we can 

in those first few days together,” 

said foundation chief executive 

Michael Flatman. 

Campbell said demand for their 

services was “incredibly high.” 

The maternity ward on 

level five has 45 beds and is 80 

to 90 per cent full most of the 

time. 

“At many times we have been 

over capacity as there are increasing 

numbers of women and 

babies with complex needs or 

who are impacted by underlying 

health conditions,” Campbell 

said. 

“These women need our 

support and they need their 

own support – and it may seem 

simple, but these chairs will help 

provide that.”

RD Petroleum (RDP) is a familiar sight 

for farm and rural residents around the 

Canterbury region, however now days urban 

residents also enjoy the same excellent 

customer service for which RDP is known for 

in rural communities, through their home 

heating diesel. 

RDP began its home heating diesel delivery 

service to the lower South Island’s main urban 

centres of Christchurch, Timaru, Dunedin 

and Invercargill a number of years ago. 

Customer demand has continued to increase 

year upon year, and RDP has responded 

with specialised improvements to its delivery 

equipment. 

The trucks that deliver RDP’s home heating 

diesel in each urban centre are drawn from 

the company’s extensive vehicle fleet. This 

means they have the latest communication 

and GPS tracking technology on board, so 

the operations team always know where they 

are and how far away they are from their next 

delivery stop. 

RDP’s home heating diesel trucks come 

equipped with a specially-designed hose, 

through which the diesel is pumped from 

the truck into house tanks. The length of 

the hose allows the trucks to access tanks 

without having to enter the property, avoiding 

damaging the driveway. RDP is the place to 

go if you require diesel conveniently delivered 

to your home and as a loyal RDP customer 

you’re offered discounted pricing and can 

become eligible for value-added benefits. 

For all enquiries please phone 

0800 44 00 14, or visit the RDP website at

HOME & HEATING 

Get the balance 

right this winter 

Enviro Master has been helping 

Cantabrians get the balance right when it 

comes to choosing the perfect heat pump or 

air conditioning system for their home or 

office since 2002. 

Their team of expert sales people, qualified 

electricians, heating and refrigeration 

engineers, help to supply and install 

Christchurch’s widest range of heat pumps, 

and because they have no affiliation with any 

one brand, you can be assured their advice 

on the benefits and differences between each 

product is unbiased. 

They will recommend the most energyefficient 

and cost-effective system for your 

individual situation, and will have you 

regulating the heat in your home or office in 

no time. 

Nowadays, customers are often wanting 

whole home solutions to be able to maintain 

even temperatures throughout the home both 

in Winter and Summer. This can be achieved 

by using ducted systems or multi systems 

and Enviro Master are experts in designing, 

installing and commissioning these systems. 

Help is currently available with a 

government subsidy covering 80 per cent of 

the cost of a new heat pump up to $3000. 

The subsidy is part of the Warmer Kiwi 

Homes initiative and is available to Home 

owner/occupiers with a Community Services 

Card, a SuperGold combo card or who live in 

a low-income area as determined by deciles 

8-10 on the New Zealand Deprivation Index. 

The applicant’s home must also have been 

built before 2008, have insulation up to code 

(insulation subsidies also available) and have 

no fixed heating in a living area, such as an 

existing operational heat pump or fireplace. 

With new regulations now in place for 

Landlords to provide heating in rentals, it’s 

time to ensure you are meeting the new 

standards. 

Inadequate heating and ventilation can 

lead to mould growth and dampness in your 

property, leading to costlier maintenance 

and an unhealthy living environment. 

Providing a fixed heater with a higher heat 

output and lower running costs, like a heat 

pump, will enable your tenants to heat the 

area effectively. Enviro Master are well 

experienced with the Tenancy Services 

software to ensure that you are meeting your 

requirements. 

To ensure you choose the right system 

for your home or business, one of Enviro 

Master’s experts will visit to assess your 

individual situation, offer advice and 

answer any questions you may have. This 

consultation is at no cost to the customer 

and is always provided before a heat pump is 

installed. 

Anyone wondering about their eligibility 

for a subsidised heat pump are welcome to 

get in touch for details and help with the 

application process. To find out more, call 

Enviro Master on (03) 366 0525 or visit 

their website www.enviromaster.co.nz 

The importance 

of air quality 

The quality of the air we breathe affects 

our health and ability to perform. We 

breathe in and out approximately 20,000 

litres of air every day. It is therefore very 

important to ensure good air quality 

indoors through adequate ventilation. 

Ventilation is the process of air exchange 

to provide the necessary air quality that 

meets the needs of the occupants for clean, 

fresh air. Low oxygen with high carbon 

dioxide causes stuffiness in the room 

and occupants can feel drowsy. Invisible 

harmful substances like a high content 

of dust and tobacco smoke are harmful 

and can cause various diseases. Even bad 

smells can cause discomfort or irritate the 

nervous system. 

In summer, it’s easy to open windows 

for cross ventilation, however as winter 

approaches, we start to shut up out houses 

to trap in the heat and as a result, air 

quality can decline. 

Ventilation includes 

both the exchange of air 

to the outside as well as 

circulation of air within 

the building. It is one of 

the most important factors 

for maintaining acceptable 

indoor air quality in 

buildings. Filtered air 

supply for summer and 

filtered and warmed air in 

winter creates a healthy 

environment in which 

to live and work. In cases with poor 

or insufficient air intake from outside, 

the oxygen content decreases, humidity 

and dustiness levels increase. If exhaust 

ventilation is not provided or it is not 

effective, polluted air, smells, humidity 

and harmful substances are not removed. 

To ensure the quality of your air, contact 

the experts. Smooth-Air Products can 

calculate the required air exchange for 

your building requirement. Smooth-Air 

offers a wide range of ventilation 

equipment, from air vents to ducting 

for fans, for both the commercial and 

domestic markets. 

They have an extensive range of fans 

and ventilation components in-store but 

they can also provide innovative solutions 

tailored to differing requirements.

Crafting For a Cause is a group of 

crafters meeting weekly at WEA to 

create things people need. These clever

materials generously donated to WEA 

Canterbury. Creating social capital, 

this group are helping reduce stash
