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.

Fungi Farm opens
ON TRACK: Earthworks on the site of the new Hornby
Centre on the corner of Waterloo and Smarts Rd, Hornby.

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.
TTK is able to issue grants
of up to $20,000 for temporary
projects and activities in
regeneration areas that have
been approved by landowner

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.
UNCOMFORTABLE:
Canterbury and
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,
Christchurch City Libraries is
now a network of 21 modern
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.

(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.

Kiwi Pharmacy extends heart
The next time you need to fill a
prescription, ask about supplements or
over the counter health support, stop

Integrated Health Centre, located at 3
Filly Place, which is close to the airport,
Hornby, Riccarton, Avonhead and the
outlying areas.
Kiwi Pharmacy is designed to be
innovative, yet warm and approachable.
Compassion underpins their pharmacy
philosophy, which is every client is treated
with respect and dignity. They work
closely with your doctors and healthcare
professionals, such as the example of their
free weekly blister pack service for their
patients whose doctors identify as having
complex medicine regimes.
Each team member at Kiwi Pharmacy
feels grateful to look after their patients
as they understand they have a choice as
to who is part of their healthcare team. A
fact which is never taken for granted.
The team at Kiwi Pharmacy is
comprised of Joyce, Maureen and
Mitchell. Often the first thing you see in
the pharmacy is Joyce’s smile. Maureen
has over 25 years of experience in
pharmacy and draws on that to give
patients insights into what to expect
from an array of treatments. Mitchell
has an interest in healthy aging, exercise
nutrition and the immune system.
Mitchell often works alongside the
doctors to provide practitioner only
ranges. He often sits down with patients
to discuss their medicine regimes and talk
about functional medicine ideas that may
improve their health.
At Kiwi Pharmacy, they actively
research new ideas and products to best
provide quality options for their patients.
They offer specific skin care regimes to
compliment doctors’ prescriptions for
acne, rosacea and potential skin cancer
spots. They have specific nutritional
supplements that can assist in mood, sleep
and energy. They specialise in options
related to hay fever, over and above
standard antihistamines.
They do their best to provide testers and
giveaways to their clients where they can
try the product first to feel a benefit.
When you stop by ask about their
pharmacy loyalty clubs to reward their
patients for their loyalty.
A primary goal at Kiwi Pharmacy is
to create a culture where the client feels
comfortable and understood. There
is always great reward through health
discussions, which provide an ability to
share ideas and learn from one another.
Kiwi Pharmacy offers FREE
prescriptions to their club members and
hardship assurance to those who cannot
afford to pay.

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.
