Ideas to 

make use 

of new 

centre 

sought 

• By Fiona Ellis 

FEEDBACK ON the use of the 

Hornby Centre is open as the site 

at Kyle Park is prepared for the 

$35.9 million build. 

The city council opened public 

consultation last week, with a 

questionnaire listing activities 

which could be offered at the pool 

and library facility. 

Greater Hornby Residents Association 

chairman Marc Duff said 

the suggestions were a mixed bag, 

with some causing him concern. 

“Some of the things, the sewing, 

knitting and the adults’ board 

games, are things we already have 

at the Hornby Community Centre. 

I’d hate to see our resources 

split.” 

He hoped community consultation 

would ensure there were no 

double-ups. 

However, it was “incredibly 

exciting” to see learn-to-swim 

programmes, aqua jogging and 

pool parties being considered. 

People could also make 

their own suggestions for the 

submissions.

Patrols to kerb 

crime extended 

• By Fiona Ellis 

COMMUNITY PATROLS will 

extend coverage to Strowan as 

concern grows over petty crime. 

THe Christchurch North Community 

Patrol has launched a 

second vehicle, which will see 

more areas covered over a longer 

time frame. 

Alpha Ave Neighbours 

Association member Bernard 

Del Rey said Strowan 

residents were suffering as a 

result of a crime spree. 

He gave a presentation 

at the Fendalton-Waimari- 

Harewood Community 

Board meeting last month, 

headed: ‘We feel unsafe and 

underserved.’ 

THe board decided staff would 

look into environmental features 

to deter crime, and the possibility 

of CCTV camera installation. 

Del Rey’s concerns would be 

raised with police, the Christchurch 

North Community Patrols 

and Canterbury Neighbourhood 

Support. 

Adding the Strowan area to the 

board’s Community Safety Initiative 

would also be looked into. 

Sam Hall 

Staff would update the board 

on these issues within six weeks 

of the June 28 meeting. 

Del Rey said this was a reasonable 

response. 

Patrol chairman Sam Hall said 

before Covid-19 caused membership 

of the 50-person patrol to 

plummet, the patrol was out 

“almost every day and 

night.” 

“We’re up to 25 [members], 

six have just joined 

up in the past week or 

so. I think we’ll just keep 

growing.” 

The second car, a Toyota 

Vanguard that cost 

$20,000, meant the patrol 

would be able to run general 

monitoring as well as focusing on 

trouble spots. 

“It’s hard to know if it’s getting 

worse or we’re just hearing about 

it more.” 

Each month the patrol made 

an average 50 reports of 

suspicious vehicles to police, 

and 20 reports of suspicious 

behaviour. 

Papanui police did not respond 

to Western News’ request for 

comment.

Group submission possible 

• From page 1 

It was important for the council 

to staff the centre with locals who 

would have more pride in the 

facility because they would see it 

as their own, he said. 

Ease of access was also important. 

He had made an individual 

submission and thought all people 

who lived in the area should 

do so if they planned to use the 

facility, he said. 

“You can’t complain if you 

don’t fill it in.” 

The Greater Hornby Residents 

Association would discuss a possible 

group submission at its next 

meeting. 

City council head of recreation, 

sports and events Nigel Cox said 

61 submissions had been received 

as of 11am on Tuesday. 

The questionnaire would 

gauge the level of demand for 

various activities in the community. 

“[It is] are not a confirmed list 

of what will be offered when the 

facility opens in 2022,” Cox said. 

“If there are concerns around 

the duplication of services, our 

preference is to have a direct 

conversation to understand the 

concerns.” 

Information and support would 

be given to locals who were interested 

in applying for a job at the 

new centre, he said. 

Earthworks for the project were 

on track to be completed by mid- 

July, with the build set to take 

place in spring. 

“We expect to have the 

building contractor confirmed by 

early August, and construction 

on the building should start in 

September.” 

A MUSHROOM-themed 

education, play and foraging 

area has officially opened in the 

Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor 

Regeneration Area. 

More than 50 adults and 

children attended the Fungi 

Farm’s official opening this 

afternoon, complete with hearty, 

wild mushroom soup, and 

mushroom-themed sweets and 

savouries. 

Located on the corner of Evelyn 

Cousins Ave and River Rd, 

Richmond, the Fungi Farm will 

feature six different species of 

edible native and exotic mushrooms 

for foragers, 33 manmade 

mushroom carvings and 

art installations by local artists, 

engaging nature play pieces, and 

interactive signage to educate 

people about the fast-growing 

fungi. 

The project is an initiative of 

the Riverlution Collective and 

driven by the Richmond Community 

Garden. 

Project proponent spokesperson 

Hayley Guglietta says the 

overwhelming encouragement 

and support they’d received from 

the community had been inspiring. 

“People have been really interested 

in this project and it’s great 

to finally be able to open it to 

INTERACTIVE: Young and those young at heart can enjoy 

the benefits on Richmond’s new Fungi Farm.

the community,” she said. 

“There might not be any 

mushrooms growing yet, but the 

place will come alive in spring 

and autumn.” 

“We wanted to create an 

engaging space that not only 

educates people about living 

with nature, but is also somewhere 

that a family can spend 

a whole day here, next to the 

Ōtākaro Avon River, enjoying 

the regeneration area.” 

Guglietta says the intention is 

to hold monthly workshops with 

the community to explore different 

methods of growing a range 

of different mushroom species. 

Residential red zone consultative 

group, Te Tira Kāhikuhiku, 

awarded the project a grant of 

$19,600 from the Red Zones 

Transitional Use Fund, to help 

bring the project to life.

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. 

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.

West Coast 

District Health 

board director of 

midwifery Norma 

Campbell with the 

current sleeping 

arrangements for 

support people of 

women giving birth 

at Christchurch 

Women’s Hospital. 

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.”

Nurse supports 

fundraiser for 

new chairs in 

maternity ward 

WHEN NURSE Joeann 

Pagulayan goes to work at 

Christchurch Women’s Hospital, 

she sees an unwelcoming 

situation. 

Pagulayan spends most of her 

time on level five, looking after 

new mothers and babies. 

Having been in the same 

situation herself as a patient, she 

finds it difficult to witness those 

supporting the new mothers 

either sleeping on the hospital 

floor, or on uncomfortable chairs 

if staying overnight. 

It is why she is supporting the 

Māia Health Foundation’s bid to 

raise $44,000 to buy 20 specialist 

chairs, which can fold out into a 

lie-flat bed. 

Pagulayan’s husband Mark 

was by her side when she was 

admitted to the hospital last year 

after the birth of their daughter, 

Matilda. 

Pagulayan became unwell 

after losing a large amount of 

blood during birth and needed 

monitoring and support. 

Her husband ended up sleeping 

on a mattress on the floor. 

“He just wanted to be there for 

me. Because of my condition, 

mobilising was a bit challenging 

so he stayed all throughout those 

first few days to support Matilda 

and me,” she said. 

“Culturally it was just 

what we do – no matter how 

uncomfortable his stay was. It’s 

such a precious time for a new 

family and I want every new 

family to be able to be together, 

comfortable and safe.” 

Pagulayan hails from the 

Philippines. 

She said in her culture, and 

many Asian cultures, a husband, 

a partner or a support person is 

expected to stay with a 

Joeann Pagulayan 

new mother. 

“They are there to help, to take 

turns looking after the baby, 

giving the new mum a couple of 

hours rest,” said Pagulayan. 

“That little bit of support and 

rest changes everything for the 

mum – how they feel physically 

and emotionally and how they 

can connect with their new baby. 

“As a nurse, I feel really bad for 

those mothers who don’t have a 

support person to stay with them 

overnight, I see how difficult it 

can be for many new mums.” 

Pagulayan understood why the 

current situation of providing 

a mattress on the floor or an 

uncomfortable chair meant 

that for some, having a support 

person was not an option. 

“Having people on the floor is 

not ideal at all for the patients or 

the staff,” she said. 

“Sometimes when we enter 

the room, especially if it’s dark, 

we don’t notice straightaway that 

there’s someone on the floor.”

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. 

Under city council control,

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.

(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.

Pesto-stuffed lamb roast. Try the whisky or mulled wine marinade 

instead of your usual gravy. (Below) – Roast venison. 

Jazz up your winter roast 

with a tasty marinade 

It’s certainly the 

weather for hot 

roasts, try spicing 

them up a bit 

with ingredients 

you are likely to 

have at home 

Pesto-stuffed lamb 

roast with garlic 

Serves 4 

Ingredients 

⅓ cup pesto 

⅓ cup ground almonds 

2 tbsp fresh oregano 

salt and ground pepper 

750gm lamb roast 

2 cloves garlic 

Directions 

Heat oven to 200 deg C. 

To make the stuffing, place 

pesto, ground almonds and 

chopped fresh oregano in a 

bowl. Season with salt and 

pepper to taste and mix to 

combine. 

Trim any fat or sinew 

from the lamb. Season on 

both sides with salt and 

pepper and lay out flat on 

a board, skin-side down. 

Spread stuffing over the 

lamb and roll it up to contain 

filling. Tie pieces with 

string to secure it. 

Heat an ovenproof 

pan, add two tablespoons 

oil and sear lamb for 

5min, turning to brown all 

over. 

Add two heads of garlic, 

cut in half to the pan and 

place in the oven to roast 

for 25min for mediumrare, 

or longer depending 

on your liking towards 

pink meat. 

Whisky marinade for 

roast meat 

Serves 3-4 

Ingredients 

¼ cup whisky 

2 tbsp prepared mustard 

3-4 tbsp olive oil 

400gm beef fillet (or 

lamb) 

freshly ground black 

pepper 

1 cup beef stock 

1 tbsp thyme leaves 

Directions 

Whisk whisky, mustard 

and 3 tbsp of olive oil 

until well combined. Place 

beef in a plastic bag. Add 

marinade. Refrigerate 

for 1 hour. Return to 

room temperature before 

cooking. 

Preheat grill on high. 

Remove meat from 

marinade and pat dry. 

Brush with remaining oil. 

Season with black pepper. 

Grill for about 8min each 

side. To test if done, press 

thickest part of meat with 

your fingertip. The softer it 

is the rarer it is; the firmer 

it is, the more cooked. Tent 

with foil and cover with a 

thick towel. Rest for 10min 

before slicing. 

Bring marinade, stock 

and thyme to the boil. 

Simmer for 10min. Serve 

with the meat.

400gm venison roast 

Freshly ground black pepper 

to taste 

2 tbsp olive oil 

Sauce 

1 cup (250ml) meat glaze 

or good beef stock 

Directions 

To make the marinade, 

combine wine, spice, 

honey and orange peel in a 

saucepan. Slowly bring to 

the boil. Simmer for 1min, 

then cool. When cold, add 

olive oil. 

Place venison in a plastic 

bag. Pour marinade over. 

Move meat around so it is 

well coated. Refrigerate for 

at least 60min or up to 8 

hours. 

Return to room 

temperature before cooking. 

Preheat oven to 200 

deg C. 

Remove meat from 

marinade and pat dry. 

Reserve marinade for the 

sauce. Season. 

Heat olive oil in a pan. 

Sear venison until lightly 

browned on all sides. 

Place in a small roasting 

pan in the oven. Roast for 

20-25 minutes for medium 

rare. 

Remove from oven and 

tent with foil. Cover with 

a thick towel and stand for 

10 minutes. 

Meanwhile, strain 

marinade and bring to the 

boil. Add meat glaze or 

stock and simmer for 1-2 

minutes. Serve with the 

venison. 

Great accompanied by 

baby red jacket potatoes, 

plus 4cm cubes of pumpkin 

and large broccoli 

florets, roasted with the 

venison. 

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.

this group are helping reduce stash
