Event planner uses skills
to create homeless feeds
• By Emily Moorhouse
A COLLABORATION between
food truck owners and an event
planner has ensured homeless
people around the city have full
bellies.
Nyran Stanton is the brains behind
the homeless feeds, after the
idea came to him when he woke
at 4am one morning in January.
Being an event planner with
no events due to Covid, Stanton
wondered what he could do to put
his expertise to use.
“I thought if I can’t do events
maybe there’s some people in the
community that could benefit
from something,” he said. “I
thought why not go out and do
some homeless feeds.”
He began brainstorming
straightaway and came up with
Demon Angel Charities, the
demon aspect representing the
addictions and flaws humans
have while the angel aspect balances
it out with the goodness of
humanity.
Stanton called up homeless
shelters and went to Christchurch
City Mission to announce his
idea, as well as talking to a few
homeless people on the street.
In two weeks he had raised
$458 from donations thanks to
a Facebook page he’d set up to
promote his idea.
He spent the money at
Linwood Seafood, putting on his
first successful homeless feed at

the end of January.
First, Stanton walked to
Christchurch City Mission to
hand out some fish and chips,
before heading over to Latimer
Square to find a group of
homeless people waiting for him.
He handed out the food and
they all sat down together and
shared their stories, something
Stanton said was “very cool.”
From then on, Stanton has
worked on building up his
charity to the point of hosting
a homeless feed almost every
Thursday.
“I think people kind of
appreciate that we’ve all had
situations in our life where we’ve
needed a feed from somewhere,”
he said.
“I think everyone has been
pretty good about it.”

Food trucks help to feed the homeless
• From page 1
The 45-year-old admitted he
had a bit of a rough upbringing,
having an absent father due to
his rock and roll career, making
Stanton’s home life a bit hectic.
Born in Australia, Stanton said
would often bunk school and
take chips to feed the homeless
people in public parks.
When he was nine, Stanton
moved to New Zealand to
live with his uncle and shifted
around a bit before settling in
Aranui.
Stanton said he knows what
it’s like to live in poverty so can
appreciate helping out those that
need it, especially when mental
health is involved.

food,” he said.
“It’s quite interesting actually,
even as a curiosity standpoint,
and a giving standpoint so
they can talk to you without
judgement.”
After a few feeds, Stanton
began reaching out to food
trucks to see if they wanted to
participate at a subsidised rate
from money he raised.
He recently had Tracey
Cashin from Tracey’s Grub on
Hubs food truck reach out to
him expressing her interest in
providing food for the homeless.
Cashin said she enjoys the
experience of helping others and
has helped Stanton on several
occasions before.
“We’ve probably fed maybe 20
week, leaving one final funding
application to be approved before
it can start construction of the
track.
North Avon BMX president
Mark Lewis said the club will
be applying for a grant from the
Lotteries Commission to help
them get the track over the line.
However, this won’t be until
September when the next round
of applications opens.

I was here we fed 64 people,
they come and they go, they
come and sit down and have
something to eat, fill their bellies
and then off they go,” she said.
Stanton has plans to continue
growing his charity and has a
goal of raising $200 a month
through his Givealittle page to
cover food costs.
He said putting the feeds on is
extremely satisfying and hopes it
is making a positive difference in
people’s lives.

“Watching the meeting livestreamed

The Personal Nature of Personal Taste
You would think that after
considerable time in a business
that has more than its share of
opinion-based rhetoric that I
would have learnt most of its
important lessons, but they still
keep coming.
You see, I’d forgotten that everyone looks
at things through their own, very unique
lens and none of us are the same or
exercise the same choices.
So, here’s a simple scenario: it is from my
role as the owner of a staging business.
It’s a relatively new business having been
in operation for around 15 months. It’s a
business that I love and it’s given me and
the team a lot of joy.
During that time, in excess of 150 stages
have been completed and the value
of properties being staged has ranged
from $500,000 to over $6,000,000. The
feedback has also ranged from absolute
rapture – including offers to purchase
every single staging item that’s gone
into the property – to the occasional
expression of disappointment. Now, a
good 95% have been really happy, but
95% is not 100% and I’ve worked hard to
ease the frustrations of the two – three
parties who decided it wasn’t their ‘look’.
But that’s the point where interpretation
begins, and I’ve had to dig deep to
understand and adjust accordingly.
For example, when people say ‘modern’,
it could mean modern colours, modern
and contemporary, mid-century modern
– like you would find at Mr Mod – or
modern in 1989!
I’ve been asked for table runners (similar
to what my grandmother loved), glass
plates with three tealight candles
arranged neatly on top and centered,
big corner couches from one of the city’s
discount stores… and I’ve been reminded
that it’s the client who calls the shots,
which they do!
So, I’ve removed, restaged and
reimagined, worked all weekend and
been at the staging sheds at 5am to help
sort. And it’s worked, which I’m grateful
for. So the lesson is to ask more questions,
listen hard to the responses and maybe
pass the baton graciously when there’s a
gaping distance between preferences or
there’s nothing that adequately captures
a potential client’s style in five large sheds
of accessories and furniture.
It’s so true that life lessons are what make
the world a more interesting place and
space to live in, as does a beautifully
presented home!

$300,000 council grant
for housing project
A CHARITABLE
organisation with plans
to build a seven-unit
affordable housing facility
for vulnerable young
families has been given a
helping hand.
The city council has
approved a grant of
$300,000 to the Society of
St Vincent de Paul towards
construction of the Pavitt
Street Housing Project.
The funding has been
given through the city
council’s Capital Endowment
Fund and the facility
will be built behind the
Society’s headquarters in
Richmond.
“The grant will go
towards the development
of a purpose-built
facility that will give
up to seven young
families at a time
access to warm, affordable
and secure
housing along with
wrap-around support,”
said councillor
and chairwoman
of the sustainability
and community resilience
committee Sara Templeton.
“Some of the most atrisk
members of our community
will benefit from
this project, right from
Sara
Templeton
when the doors open and
for many years to come,
so we are very pleased to
stand in support of this
much needed facility,”
Templeton said.
The Society is collaborating
with St
John of God Waipuna
which will provide
wrap-around
support to those
living in the facility
via the Housing
Opportunities for
Parental Enhancement
programme.
Area president Mike
Daly said the aim is to
provide suitable accommodation
for parents aged
primarily between 17 – 24
years old, with weekly
rent determined on an
individual basis
“The idea is that young
parents are supported to
build life skills in a safe,
secure environment,” Daly
said.
“This grant means we
have the confidence to
continue to completion.
We’ll still have a (funding)
shortfall but it will be
smaller and more achievable
to try and recover.”
The complex will
comprise six new twobedroom
units and one
three bedroom unit which
will be available to rent for
between three months and
two years.
Construction started at
the end of last year and the
facility is on track to open
in November.
IN 2008 when Jane Mackay
purchased a small homebased
Baby On The Move
franchise, her intention was
to be self-employed while
her two small boys were at
home.
Fourteen years later, the
boys are at high school,
and the business has grown
into a thriving retail store,
employing five staff.
Baby On The Move
started life as a car seat hire
business, mainly hiring
infant capsules to new
parents, as well doing short
term hires for grandparents
with family visiting, and
this continues to be an
important part of the
business today.
Car seat safety has always
been a core value of the
franchise, and all staff are
trained as child restraint
technicians.
Whether you’re purchasing
a car seat or hiring one
short-term, Baby On The
Move staff can help you
figure out what is going to
be the most appropriate car
seat to suit your needs, and
they will install the seat into
your car so that you know
it’s as safe as it possibly can
be.

Woolston Brass secures building funding
• By Emily Moorhouse
AFTER YEARS of using an
earthquake-damaged band
room, the Woolston Brass has
been given a grant to help with
its rebuild project.
Woolston Brass will receive
$400,000 over the next two
financial years, coming from the
city council’s capital endowment
fund, with $270,000 granted
for the 21/22 financial year and
$130,000 for the 23/24 year.
The existing band room
located at 37 Dampier St was
built in 1905, but suffered
significant damage in the
earthquakes.
While it continues to be
used by about 200 regular
members and nine external
organisations, the city council
has advised the rebuild be undertaken
by 2025.
Woolston Brass members
believe they will have raised sufficient
funds by mid-2023
to begin construction,
finishing in late 2024.
The proposed design
consists of two floors with
a range of performance
areas, tuition spaces and
storage, and will have accessible
parking.
Linwood Ward councillor
Yani Johanson
was advocating for the
organisation to get the funding
by encouraging colleagues to
support their vision.
Yani
Johanson
“It’s been a long road postearthquake
to look at their facilities,”
Johanson said. “I
was just happy to help out
as much as I could to get
them some endowment
fund money to support
their project.”
He said the city council
supported a lot of groups
after the earthquakes,
but there were still some
facing challenges with
rebuilds today.
“It’s the sort of thing the endowment
fund was set up to support
in my view, which was civic
projects that bring benefit to
the city and to the community,”
Johanson said.
Spreydon Ward councillor
Melanie Coker acted as chair
for the sustainability and
community resilience committee
during this grant approval and
said councillors felt this was a
worthy cause to support.
“Security of funding from
(the city council) will provide
Woolston Brass with a better
ability to apply for further
funding elsewhere to get their
project off the ground,” Coker
said.
FUTURE: Woolston
Brass’ new band hall and
performing arts facility,
designed by architect
Trevor Wilson.

Award-winning band
conductor’s vision
SUMNER SILVER Band has welcomed an
award-winning conductor into its ranks.
Last year Ray Blampied retired from his
role as musical director for the band and
handed the baton over to John Mason, of
Tasmania.
Mason has been a member of the NZ
Army Band for seven years, and also
played BBb Bass with the NZ National
Band at the 2017 world brass band
championships.
He won the BBb Bass solo at the NZ
national championships in 2016 and 2017,
and finished second in the Eb Bass solo
in 2021. He is also a playing member of
Woolston Band.
Mason’s strategy to ensure a strong
future for the Sumner band includes the
establishment of a development band to
run alongside the main one.
This group will be open to anyone from
the age of 10 upwards who has a basic
ability on a brass band instrument and
wishes to build on this by playing in an
ensemble.
It will meet on Thursdays at Redcliffs
School, prior to the main Sumner band
practice.
Mason is also available as a brass
instrument teacher and can be contacted
via the band’s website.
Although the RSA has decided to
limit the Anzac Day commemoration in
Sumner this year, the band will still be
playing before and after the short service
at the memorial gates.
HELM: John Mason, the conductor
for Sumner Silver Band, intends to
establish a development band to
run alongside the main one.
As a community band Sumner is always
ready to welcome brass players into its
ranks.
The band practises from 6.30-8.30pm
every Thursday evening at Redcliffs
School.
Contact Peter Croft on 3849 534 or visit
the band’s website if you are interested.

A Home for the Ages
Just three proud owners have held this phenomenal cedar-clad dwelling since its
construction in the 1920’s, but after 30 years in the stewardship of our vendors it’s now
time to add a new name to the title.
You’ll inherit a beautifully polished gem, which wholeheartedly embraces the patina of its
original construction, thanks to the meticulous preservation of unique features including
timber panelling, wonderful rimu joinery and mullioned windows which echo the ethos of
Arts and Crafts craftsmanship.
From the spectacle of the grand staircase to elegantly proportioned ceilings, the floorplan
is configured to embrace sun and space, with the accommodating formal lounge and
separate dining demonstrating considerable comfort, warmed by a gas fire and heat pump
respectively.
The timeless kitchen fuses classic charm with modern convenience, and its floor to ceiling
cabinetry and glass fronted cupboards will delight purists and pragmatic household cooks.
A century of establishment lends the leafy 862m 2 grounds grandeur, and their usefulness is
heightened by a garden shed, single garage and off-street parking, although the significant
parcel may also tempt those with an eye to future subdivision.
If long tenure is testament to greatness, then this long-held home is among the best we’ve
been privileged to offer.

Sisters’ healthy food tour no raw deal
TWO SISTERS are spreading
the healthy diet message on a
nationwide tour, alongside their
childhood idol of Harold the
Giraffe.
Rosa and Margo Flanagan,
known as the Two Raw Sisters,
are teaming up with Life
Education Trust and 5+ A
Day Charitable Trust to visit
schools.
Rosa, 26 a former national
steeplechase star, and Margo, 23,
created the Christchurch-based
food company five years ago
after attending a vegan culinary
school in Los Angeles. They host
workshops around the country
as well as teach courses and cater
for events.
The pair said they used to love
it when Life Education Trust’s
mobile classroom visited their
school. Not only did they get
time out of lessons, but got to ask
Harold lots of interesting questions.
“Harold’s visits taught us both
valuable life skills on the world
and where our place is in it,” Rosa
said.
They were enjoying the
nationwide tour, which started
about two weeks ago and visiting
Riccarton School.
The pair are pleased to be
fulfilling their goal of inspiring
children and parents to base their
meals around in-season fruit and
vegetables, while adding meat or
another source of protein on the
side.
HEALTHY EATING: Two Raw Sisters Margot (left) and Rosa
Flanagan are teaming up with Harold the Giraffe to visit
schools around the country.
“This then helps them
ensure they are getting their
five-plus-a-day ticked off and
achieve the balanced diet that
Harold recommends,” Margo
said.
Life Education Trust chief
executive John O’Connell said
the programme came at a critical
time for many families.
“One in five children in
Aotearoa live with food insecurity.
While the path to food
security is a complex one, teaching
healthy eating habits from
a young age is proven to be an
PLANT-BASED: Riccarton School pupils Nargis
Qurbanzada and William Crawford learned how to
prepare a healthy dish when Two Raw Sisters and Harold
the Giraffe visited recently.
important part of the solution,”
O’Connell said.
With 45 teachers working in
1400 schools, the trust was New
Zealand’s largest health education
provider.
“Meeting with both tamariki
and parents in their communities
is a great way of providing
information in an accessible,
interactive format that’s both
engaging and motivates longterm
positive change. We’re really
looking forward to sharing the
youthful and engaging approach
of Two Raw Sisters.”

RD Petroleum
this winter
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
Thursday April 7 2022
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

Ground moisture barrier
under low sub-floor
Now with the colder and wetter weather on
its way, home owners are focusing on ways
to make their homes comfortable, warm
and healthy for their families throughout
winter. Rising damp is an issue that affects
many of our older properties which suffer
from poor, or no, ground moisture barrier.
In Canterbury especially, post-quake, many
people have relocated to homes that suffer
from rising damp which can be associated
with health problems. Independent tests have
shown that up to 40 litres of water can rise
from the ground and enter a house every day,
leading to mildew, mould, condensation and
musty smells. Moulds can produce various
allergic reactions and the frail, elderly and
very young are especially vulnerable.
Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a
locally owned and operated firm. The team
understands the problems caused by rising
damp and are there to help. They will come
to your damp home and pump a lightweight,
flowable foam concrete under your timber
floored home.
While insulation is important, it has been
recognised that it is dampness that is the real
villain in the house. The new Healthy Homes
Standards introduced by the government
effective from the 1st July 2019 now has
a requirement to install ground moisture
barriers, a key element in the armory to fight
moisture in the home.
Dr Larry Bellamy BE (hons) PhD in a
report dated 1988: Foam Concrete Under
Timber Floors: An Energy Analysis assessed
the effects of placing Foam Concrete over
damp soil and had this to say: Condensation
on the underside of a timber floor can occur
where the floor is suspended over damp
ground and the inside air temperature falls
close to the crawl space air temperature.
Much energy is required to vaporize moisture
that penetrates the structure. By avoiding
underfloor condensation, foam concrete can
reduce floor heat losses by up to 90%.
• Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd can in most
cases, install a Ground Moisture Barrier
under the suspended wooden floor of your
home, even when there is no crawl space.
• BRANZ Appraised; Appraisal Number 961
• Members of the Insulation Association of
New Zealand.
• We offer a free measure and quote in the
Canterbury region with no obligations.
• Assessments can be made in all other
regions by arrangement.

ground moisture barrier needs.

Does your range
hood suck?
Whether it plain sucks, or whether it
doesn’t suck enough, or even if it is a noisy
sucker - Smooth-Air can help.
Smooth-Air can either improve your
current Range Hood, or custom build to
your specifications.
“We can take your attractive but noisy,
underperforming range hood and retrofit
it with one of our whisper quiet remote
extraction fans.” says Richard Jack, Regional
Manager of Smooth-Air, “We have fans
which can sit in the ceiling space, or outside
on your wall or roof to make it extra quiet.”
In-house testing showed a difference of
20dbA (decibels) between a remote fan
from Smooth-Air and a common in-hood
fan range hood. This corresponds to a
quadrupling in perceived noise level.
Range Hood conversions
include removal of existing fan
and rewiring for new remote fan.
Your local sparky can easily carry
out installation of the new fan.
For kitchens not suited to a
standard range hood, Smooth-
Air can manufacture and
powdercoat a bespoke range
hood to match your décor.
Custom built range hoods have
the benefit of being designed
specifically for your house.
As well as being whisper quiet,
Smooth-Air’s remote fans are
powerful - sucking out cooking
smells and moisture so they don’t circulate
around your home.
Moisture in your home can cause mould
and mildew on your walls and furnishings.
It is also bad for the health of the occupants.
Household cooking is a major source of
internal moisture, therefore an effective
kitchen extraction system can make a
significant difference to internal moisture
levels.
Smooth-Air can also help with other
forms of ventilation, such as bathroom
extraction, condensation reduction or
whole house ventilation.
Contact Smooth-Air on 0800 SMOOTH
(0800 766 684) to ask how they can help
you with your kitchen extraction, as well
as any other ventilation requirements.

How to Choose a Dining Table
Family dining, entertaining, homework,
games hub, even work and Zoom calls:
a dining table must tick a lot of boxes.
That’s why it’s important to choose
a table that’s right for your style,
functionality and budget.
If you are in the market for a dining table
to entertain many guests or looking for
a dining table to accommodate a small
family, with key advice and a wide range
of dining tables, you will find a style and
shape to suit your needs.
A dining table is the heart of a home.
It is a place where family and friends
can gather to eat and enjoy long
conversations.
“If chosen carefully, a good quality
dining table will last you a long time, so it
pays to spend a considerable amount of
time researching the best possible dining
table that can be enjoyed for many years
to come,” says a Focus on Furniture and
Bedding spokesperson.
The four-S process for ideal choice
Here is a quartet of quick-and-easy tips
for choosing the right dining table for
your home:
Size – If you’re considering entertaining
larger guests, you may want to consider
how you will accommodate everyone
at the dinner table comfortably. First,
consider the size of your existing room,
then leave enough space for people to
get in and out of their seats. Measure
Award Winning Property
Management Services
We were honoured to achieve recognition
in all three categories of the Ray White
Canterbury zone awards last week, and
while we love some more certificates to
hang on our wall, it is what this means for
our clients, both current and future, that
really means something to us.
So let’s start with one of the most
important parts of our promise to our
landlords, rent collection. It may seem an
easy task to collect rents, but particularly
in tough times, like now, we really need
to work hard to ensure not only are
we empathetic to our tenants who are
experiencing hardships, but also able
to help them to ensure they can pay
their rents on time every week so that
our landlords are able to meet their
own financial obligations. It is all about
communication, and we are very good at
this, which has been proven once again
by us taking out Number 1 ranking in the
coveted ‘Zero Arrears Club’!
The second award was a growth award
where we achieved Number 2 in the
number of new managements for our
region. What does this mean?, well you
can only achieve this if you are providing a
top notch service to your clients. I believe

the height of the seat you are thinking of
buying with your dining table so you can
sit comfortably. As a rule of thumb, leave
about 20-30cm from the seat to the
tabletop.
Shape – First consider the shape of
your room. Round tables can work well
in smaller spaces and rectangular and
square dining tables will suit larger areas.
If you are considering a large rectangle
table, ensure you leave enough room for
chairs not to meet with other pieces of
furniture in the room. Bench seating is a
great option when space is tight as they
can slide right under the dining table,
preventing overcrowding.
Style – If you’re after a sophisticated
style of dining décor, a tempered-glass
that the best referral tool we have is the
clients we already have and our reputation
and that is ultimately why people choose
us to take care of their investment
properties.
Net growth was the third award, where
we placed second, and this ties in directly
with the service we provide our existing
landlords. It is all very good to bring in
new business, but if clients are leaving in
droves, you need to have a long hard look
at the why. I am very proud to achieve this
award, it reiterates we are doing it right!
The final recognition was for community
service. We are very passionate about
supporting the communities we work
in and we love getting involved in local
projects. We are all about getting amongst
it as well as providing financial assistance
where we can, whether that is cooking
meals for families at Ronald McDonald
House or dressing up and helping to
entertain the kids at Halloween!

top combined with stunning Oak
detail will create a beautiful statement
piece. For a relaxed style of dining,
consider a table made from brushed
Acacia for a lighter look.
Storage – If you enjoy entertaining
and require extra storage space for
all your beautiful crockery, tableware
or glassware, consider adding a
buffet in the same room. Focus on
Furniture and Bedding provides
matching buffets and dining tables, so
it’s worth investigating — to not only
allow for those little extras but also
tie the room in together. Buffets and
hall tables can also provide a handy
space to display extra food during a
party or showcase your most valuable
collections.
