$3m grant in pipeline<br />
for Edgeware Pool<br />
• By Fiona Ellis<br />
EDGEWARE Pool campaigners<br />
are excited they may get a muchneeded<br />
$3 million funding boost.<br />
The funds towards reopening<br />
the pool in St Albans have been<br />
added to the city council’s draft<br />
<strong>2022</strong>/23 plan.<br />
However, even if this is approved<br />
the St Albans Pavilion<br />
and Pool Group still faces a<br />
fundraising challenge of up to<br />
$700,000.<br />
Member Lynne O’Keefe said<br />
while the price tag for a new pool<br />
was set at $3 million, this was<br />
calculated early last year and she<br />
believed it had risen since.<br />
“You know where building<br />
costs have gone, so we’re probably<br />
thinking there could be another<br />
million on top of it,” O’Keefe<br />
said.<br />

HOPEFUL: St Albans Pavilion and Pool Group member Lynne O’Keefe believes Edgeware Pool<br />
could be reopened within two years if the city council approves its proposed $3 million grant.<br />

Serial volunteer does ‘the right thing’<br />
• By Emily Moorhouse<br />
A FULL-TIME worker who<br />
juggles five volunteer roles says<br />
it’s all about helping others.<br />
Sanjeewa Thanushka, who<br />
goes by the name AK, moved<br />
here from Dubai 15 years ago,<br />
although he is originally from Sri<br />
Lanka.<br />
He came to New Zealand to<br />
study specialisation in retail<br />
management before becoming<br />
a full-time assistant manager at<br />
Look Sharp.<br />
Back in Dubai, AK worked<br />
long hours so when he arrived<br />
here he was surprised at how<br />
much spare time he had, in spite<br />
of working five days a week.<br />
So he decided to volunteer<br />
on his days off, starting at<br />
Community Patrols of New<br />
Zealand. He now volunteers for<br />
Red Cross, The Salvation Army,<br />
Age Concern and Gap Filler.<br />
“I believe time is really<br />
precious, this time will never<br />
come back to you,” he said. “I<br />
love to work with people, I am a<br />
people oriented person. I don’t<br />
accept money or anything. I do it<br />
for free but I do the good thing,<br />
the right thing.”<br />
AK, of Sydenham, has<br />
been separated from his wife<br />
and daughter for more than<br />
three years now due to border<br />
restrictions. They are in Sri<br />
Lanka, and he said the volunteer<br />
work has helped him cope with<br />
missing them.<br />
PATROL: AK with City Park patrol’s police liaison officer Senior Constable John Way.<br />
“It’s really tough you know, so<br />
I have to keep my mind [busy]<br />
you know, have to have the<br />
proper mindset to work.”<br />
AK joined the City Park<br />
patrollers three years ago and<br />
has since developed a simplified<br />
“in car” communication system<br />
to make recording and reporting<br />
to the police easier.<br />
Last year he was learning<br />
about the patrollers’ reporting<br />
structure when he thought to<br />
himself the system could not<br />
only be simplified to make it<br />
easier to operate, but it could also<br />
be cheaper. It would just be a task<br />
that took a lot of time.<br />
So AK took it upon himself<br />
to organise a meeting with the<br />
developers of the system and<br />
propose his idea.<br />
“I thought okay I can do it, I<br />
just took the risk and asked them<br />
if it was okay,” he said.<br />
Once the test runs were done,<br />
AK’s new system was put in<br />
place and has saved the patrollers<br />
a lot of time and money, said<br />
City Park CPNZ treasurer<br />
John Hammond.<br />
“That’s made things a lot<br />
easier for us because we used<br />
to write in the car and when<br />
you’re writing in the car you can<br />
imagine there’s a whole lot of<br />
scribbles,” Hammond said.<br />
“So he managed to streamline<br />
that for us so it can be read.”<br />
Aside from being a “wiz” with<br />
IT, Hammond said AK was a<br />
great person to be around.<br />
“He’s an awesome guy, he<br />
would do anything for you. It’s<br />
just the sort of guy he is, he’s very<br />
generous with his time.”<br />
“He’s constantly always very<br />
reliable for patrol, I don’t think<br />
he’s ever missed a night with us,”<br />
Hammond said.<br />
City Park CPNZ acting<br />
chairwoman Lynda Cameron<br />
also praised AK for the work he’s<br />
done with the patrollers.<br />
“He’s our observer and he’s<br />
good at it, he often sees things<br />
that I don’t see when we’re<br />
driving around,” Cameron<br />
said.<br />
“He’s so helpful and he knows<br />
so much about IT and just about<br />
people, he understands people<br />
which is great. He’s just lovely to<br />
have around.”<br />
AK said volunteering is a<br />
way of sharing knowledge with<br />
others as well as getting involved<br />
with your community.<br />
“I feel if you can contribute<br />
then it will be very helpful and<br />
taking off the burden from<br />
someone else.”<br />

‘Fundraising has been difficult’<br />
•From page 1<br />
The former pool was demolished<br />
in 2007 by the city council,<br />
and the community have been<br />
pushing to get a new one rebuilt<br />
ever since, but funding has<br />
proved difficult.<br />
Currently, the amount raised<br />
was approaching the $300,000<br />
mark, O’Keefe said.<br />
She was delighted with the<br />
proposed funding boost.<br />
“It just means we’ll be able to<br />
do it a whole lot sooner.”<br />
O’Keefe was unsure how<br />
long the building consent<br />
process would take and said<br />
the group was also waiting<br />
on a geotechnical report to be<br />
completed before plans could be<br />
finalised.<br />
However, if granted funding,<br />
it would go “all out” in hopes of<br />
opening the pool in the summer<br />
of 2023/2024.<br />
“It goes a long way to lessen<br />
the pain of the community losing<br />
its pool and we really thank<br />
the council for addressing that<br />
and reaching out to the community.”<br />
She was unable to say when<br />
the pool might reopen without<br />
the proposed funding.<br />
“Fundraising has been difficult<br />
because there are good fundraising<br />
organisations around but<br />
they like to come in when the<br />
community has made a substantial<br />
amount itself.”<br />
Receiving such a large grant<br />
would motivate the community<br />
PLANS: If granted funding, Edgeware Pool campaigners would go “all out” in hopes of<br />
opening the pool in the summer of 2023/2024.<br />
to fundraise for the balance, she<br />
said.<br />
Fundraising had<br />
slowed significantly due<br />
to the Covid-19 pandemic,<br />
which put a stop<br />
to fundraising events<br />
such as quiz nights.<br />
The group recently<br />
launched a website<br />
edgewarepool.co.nz, to<br />
keep the public informed of the<br />
Pauline<br />
Cotter<br />
pool’s progress and enable them<br />
to donate.<br />
“We’re just thrilled that<br />
the council are backing us to<br />
the extent that they’ve put us<br />
into the Annual Plan.”<br />
Although this was still in<br />
the draft phase, she thought<br />
it showed commitment to<br />
the area.<br />
The pool was included<br />
in the Draft Plan in a meeting<br />
Thursday <strong>March</strong> 3 <strong>2022</strong><br />
last week, in which Innes Ward<br />
councillor Pauline Cotter spoke<br />
of the community’s need for the<br />
facility.<br />
“This has been a 16-year<br />
struggle towards the dream of<br />
reinstating their pool,” she said.<br />
The public will be able to<br />
submit their opinions on the<br />
draft plan from <strong>March</strong> 11 before<br />
a final plan is adopted by the city<br />
council in June.<br />

The instigator of smiles and his garden<br />
• By Fiona Ellis and John<br />
Cosgrove<br />
ALTHOUGH HE gives away<br />
his home-grown fruits and<br />
vegetables to the community,<br />
Mark Leighs does not see himself<br />
as a gardener.<br />
Instead, the St Albans resident<br />
sees himself as an instigator of<br />
smiles. His Dover Courts garden<br />
contains items of whimsy with<br />
which he aims to brighten the<br />
day of passers-by.<br />
“If you can make one person<br />
smile in tough times, that’s not a<br />
bad thing, is it?” Leighs said.<br />
His favourite items were the<br />
superhero-inspired scarecrows,<br />
although they were not as well<br />
made as some of his other installations.<br />
“That’s simply because of<br />
the reactions they get from the<br />
youngsters that go by, and the<br />
parents with their even younger<br />
ones.”<br />
Iron Man and Superman currently<br />
watch over the garden,<br />
with a possible Spider-Man to<br />
join later.<br />
Just the day before, some children<br />
had walked past, and their<br />
eyes had lit up as they pointed<br />
out the scarecrows.<br />
“Big pay cheque right there. It’s<br />
not a monetary pay cheque . . .<br />
but it’s a hell of a pay cheque.”<br />
The garden also contains<br />
poetry by Robert Frost and Spike<br />
Milligan, as well as Leighs’ own<br />
compositions under the pen<br />
EYE-CATCHING: Mark Leighs aims to brighten people’s days with his St Albans garden,<br />
which is a blend of flowers, produce and recycled installations. PHOTO: STAR MEDIA<br />
name Omar Kiam.<br />
Proving the adage that one<br />
person’s trash is another person’s<br />
treasure, Leigh has incorporated<br />
second-hand items into the<br />
displays.<br />
“I go for walks and I do the opshop<br />
circuit and a lot of them have<br />
junk outside the front for free.”<br />
Some junk still had life in<br />
them. For example, he found two<br />
rubber ducks for the garden this<br />
way.<br />
“To be able to create something<br />
that can make at least one<br />
other person in my little community<br />
go ‘oh cool’ well, that’s a<br />
win for me.”<br />
The Covid-19 pandemic has<br />
caused Leighs to spend more<br />
time in the garden.<br />
“When we were all locked<br />
down I got into taking conscious<br />
effort in my garden.”<br />
Until that point, he knew only<br />
a little about gardening, as it was<br />
not a hobby he’d had the time to<br />
cultivate.<br />
He liked the fact it was an activity<br />
that anyone could do that<br />
required little money.<br />
Among the crops were corn,<br />
tomatoes, strawberries, beans,<br />
rhubarb, peas, and cabbages.<br />
“I used to just do veggies but<br />
then I realised that bees don’t eat<br />
veggies as much as humans.”<br />
Now he also grew flowers as<br />
part of a “balanced” garden.<br />
A sign notified people the<br />
home-grown bounty was free<br />
and invited them to help themselves<br />
to items in the garden<br />
fridge.<br />
This was in part a homage to<br />
a man he remembered from his<br />
childhood, who had a market<br />
garden but also gave away snack<br />
items, such as carrots.<br />
“Of course, I have a nice<br />
munch now and then.”<br />
Leighs also has a desire to give<br />
back to the community. This is<br />
because he lives in council housing<br />
subsidised by the public, so<br />
he wants to give something in<br />
return.<br />
People of all walks of life were<br />
struggling due to the Covid-19<br />
pandemic, he said.<br />
A former street kid, he empathised<br />
with people who were<br />
experiencing difficulties.<br />
“Times are tough out there.”<br />
He hoped people would come<br />
away from his garden with<br />
something to eat, a smile, or even<br />
the inspiration to go and create<br />
something themselves.<br />

Charity founder runs for cause<br />
• By Kristie Boland<br />
DRIVEN: Cameron Haylock is the founder of the Thanks Foundation, which helps improve the well-being of young<br />
people. He plans to do more endurance running after the Port Hills Ultra. PHOTOS: ALEX GRIMSHAW & JOE LEEPER<br />
CAMERON Haylock discovered<br />
the ‘runners high’ during<br />
lockdown – and used that high<br />
to run 100km to raise $5500 for<br />
Christchurch youth.<br />
The Thanks Foundation<br />
founder from Sumner has added<br />
endurance running to his list of<br />
sports.<br />
He’s also a surfer, snowboarder<br />
and skater and his not-for-profit<br />
organisation helps young people<br />
in Christchurch access these<br />
sports.<br />
“I just see how many young<br />
people would want to be a part of<br />
these sports,” he said.<br />
Haylock, along with others<br />
from the Thanks Foundation,<br />
have started taking young people<br />
on weekly skating trips and hope<br />
to do the same with surfing and<br />
snowboarding.<br />
The 30-year-old recently ran<br />
the Port Hills Ultra. Leading up<br />
to the race, he set up a Givealittle<br />
page with a goal of raising $5000.<br />
The money will go towards<br />
surf equipment to give young<br />
people around the city.<br />
“We all know the benefit of<br />
surfing on your well-being so<br />
we want to make sure more and<br />
more young people get the opportunity<br />
to get out there,” said<br />
Haylock.<br />
After the lockdown last year,<br />
he decided he needed to do<br />
something different to “just surfing<br />
or drinking coffee” and took<br />
up running.<br />
“I actually managed to get that<br />
thing they call the runners high<br />
and then I started educating<br />
myself around the endurance<br />
and trail-running. I got curious<br />
about how far I could push<br />
myself physically and mentally,”<br />
said Haylock.<br />
He pushed himself to his limits<br />
three weeks ago in torrential ran<br />
and fierce wind.<br />
It took him 17 hours and 15<br />
minutes to complete 90km of<br />
the 100km ultra run through the<br />
Port Hills, but due to freezing<br />
and dangerous conditions he had<br />
to stop there.<br />
“At the end of the day, I was<br />
pretty stoked to go that far, it<br />
just wasn’t worth it carrying on.<br />
I still had the ability to process<br />
and analyse what was going on<br />
with my body and everything<br />
else around me,” said Haylock.<br />
He went back last Wednesday<br />
to complete the final 10km.<br />
The Givealittle page has now<br />
raised more than $5500 for<br />
the equipment and Haylock is<br />
“stoked” with the outcome.<br />
He said he sees young people<br />
challenging themselves all the<br />
time to learn new things and he<br />
wants to do the same.<br />
“Being the founder of a non for<br />
profit I always want to be seen<br />
challenging myself mentally,<br />
physically, spiritually or emotionally,”<br />
he said.<br />
Haylock said Thanks Foundation<br />
exists to share the power of<br />
continuously saying thanks.<br />
“Thanks Foundation<br />
creates opportunities for<br />
young people of all abilities to<br />
build stories collectively and<br />
individually, intentionally<br />
focusing on their mental health<br />
and well-being, while having<br />
fun,” said Haylock.<br />

Keep cosy with<br />
RD Petroleum<br />
this winter<br />
RD Petroleum (RDP) is a familiar sight<br />
for farm and rural residents around the<br />
Canterbury region, however now days urban<br />
residents also enjoy the same excellent<br />
customer service for which RDP is known for<br />
in rural communities, through their home<br />
heating diesel.<br />
RDP began its home heating diesel delivery<br />
service to the lower South Island’s main urban<br />
centres of Christchurch, Timaru, Dunedin<br />
and Invercargill a number of years ago.<br />
Customer demand has continued to increase<br />
year upon year, and RDP has responded<br />
with specialised improvements to its delivery<br />
equipment.<br />
The trucks that deliver RDP’s home heating<br />
diesel in each urban centre are drawn from<br />
the company’s extensive vehicle fleet. This<br />
Thursday <strong>March</strong> 3 <strong>2022</strong><br />
means they have the latest communication<br />
and GPS tracking technology on board, so<br />
the operations team always know where they<br />
are and how far away they are from their next<br />
delivery stop.<br />
RDP’s home heating diesel trucks come<br />
equipped with a specially-designed hose,<br />
through which the diesel is pumped from<br />
the truck into house tanks. The length of<br />
the hose allows the trucks to access tanks<br />
without having to enter the property, avoiding<br />
damaging the driveway. RDP is the place to<br />
go if you require diesel conveniently delivered<br />
to your home and as a loyal RDP customer<br />
you’re offered discounted pricing and can<br />
become eligible for value-added benefits.<br />
For all enquiries please phone<br />

HOME & HEATING<br />
Get the balance<br />
right this winter<br />
Enviro Master has been helping<br />
Cantabrians get the balance right when it<br />
comes to choosing the perfect heat pump or<br />
air conditioning system for their home or<br />
office since 2002.<br />
Their team of expert sales people, qualified<br />
electricians, heating and refrigeration<br />
engineers, help to supply and install<br />
Christchurch’s widest range of heat pumps,<br />
and because they have no affiliation with any<br />
one brand, you can be assured their advice<br />
on the benefits and differences between each<br />
product is unbiased.<br />
They will recommend the most energyefficient<br />
and cost-effective system for your<br />
individual situation, and will have you<br />
regulating the heat in your home or office in<br />
no time.<br />
Nowadays, customers are often wanting<br />
whole home solutions to be able to maintain<br />
even temperatures throughout the home<br />
both in Winter and Summer. This can be<br />
achieved by using ducted systems or multi<br />
systems and Enviro Master are experts in<br />
designing, installing and commissioning<br />
these systems.<br />
Help is currently available with a<br />
government subsidy covering 80 per cent of<br />
the cost of a new heat pump up to $3000.<br />
The subsidy is part of the Warmer Kiwi<br />
Homes initiative and is available to Home<br />
owner/occupiers with a Community<br />
Services Card, a SuperGold combo card or<br />
who live in a low-income area as determined<br />
by deciles 8-10 on the New Zealand<br />
Deprivation Index.<br />
The applicant’s home must also have been<br />
built before 2008, have insulation up to code<br />
(insulation subsidies also available) and have<br />
no fixed heating in a living area, such as an<br />
existing operational heat pump or fireplace.<br />
With new regulations now in place for<br />
Landlords to provide heating in rentals,<br />
it’s time to ensure you are meeting the new<br />
standards.<br />
Inadequate heating and ventilation can<br />
lead to mould growth and dampness in your<br />
property, leading to costlier maintenance<br />
and an unhealthy living environment.<br />
Providing a fixed heater with a higher heat<br />
output and lower running costs, like a heat<br />
pump, will enable your tenants to heat the<br />
area effectively. Enviro Master are well<br />
experienced with the Tenancy Services<br />
software to ensure that you are meeting your<br />
requirements.<br />
To ensure you choose the right system<br />
for your home or business, one of Enviro<br />
Master’s experts will visit to assess your<br />
individual situation, offer advice and<br />
answer any questions you may have. This<br />
consultation is at no cost to the customer<br />
and is always provided before a heat pump is<br />
installed.<br />
Anyone wondering about their eligibility<br />
for a subsidised heat pump are welcome to<br />
get in touch for details and help with the<br />
application process. To find out more, call<br />
Enviro Master on (<strong>03</strong>) 366 0525 or visit<br />
their website www.enviromaster.co.nz<br />
What makes a great<br />
Heat Transfer System?<br />
There are a number of Heat Transfer<br />
systems on the market. Smooth-Air<br />
ventilation specialists offer a range of HTU<br />
Heat Transfer Units with carefully selected<br />
components to optimise the system:<br />
They use insulated duct to transfer the<br />
heated air with as little heat loss as possible.<br />
The fan moves sufficient air for the distance<br />
and number of rooms, without being noisy.<br />
The diffusers send the heat to the floor,<br />
not to skim the across the ceilings. All<br />
components are good quality - designed to<br />
operate for years without problems.<br />
Smooth-Air’s HTUs come in a range<br />
of options: One to four rooms, with or<br />
without thermostat and with a choice<br />
of grilles and diffusers. HTUs improve<br />
energy efficiency in your house, as you<br />
are using excess heat. They have low<br />
power consumption - only 80watts for<br />
the three room system. Circulating air<br />
through the house also reduces the risk<br />
of damp.<br />
You can also choose the HTU<br />
version with downjet diffusers, which<br />
throw the warm air downwards to the<br />
floor. These downjet diffusers can also<br />
be adjusted to regulate which room<br />
receives the most warm air.<br />
An average size living room requires<br />
2-4 kw of heating, yet appliances such<br />
as log burners generate heat in the<br />
region of 10 -20kw. This leaves an<br />
excess of 8 -16kw of heat which sits at<br />
high level in the heated room, usually<br />
above door level.<br />
Heat transfer units work best where<br />
very hot air has ‘stratified’ into a layer<br />
near the ceiling. So heat pumps, which<br />
circulate warm air around the room with<br />
no layering, are not suitable as a heat source<br />
by themselves. However, if you have both<br />
log burner and a heat pump, heat transfer<br />
systems with thermostat can work very<br />
well: The heat pump stops operating once<br />
the heat from the fire has heated the room,<br />
and the heat transfer kicks in above this<br />
point, once there is a layer of hot air at the<br />
ceiling.<br />

The Ihutai-Estuary and Coastal<br />
Stormwater Management Plan<br />
A stormwater management plan sets out the ways<br />
in which Christchurch City Council will meet the<br />
requirements of its stormwater resource consent,<br />
which was granted by Environment Canterbury<br />
in 2019 – the Comprehensive Stormwater<br />
Network Discharge Consent (CSNDC). Its purpose<br />
is to improve surface and groundwater quality<br />
and address problems caused by the nature<br />
of stormwater discharged into waterways. It<br />
promotes water quality improvements over time<br />
in order to meet targets in the Land and Water<br />
Regional Plan. This is one of seven plans being<br />
prepared over the period 2020 to 2023.<br />
We want to hear your thoughts on the Ihutai-<br />
Estuary and Coastal Stormwater Management<br />
Plan. Feedback is open from 28 February to 26<br />
April <strong>2022</strong>. You can read the plan and have your<br />
