Call for<br />

bollards<br />

to stop<br />

dumping<br />

of rubbish<br />

• By Emily Moorhouse<br />

A SPORTS club official wants the<br />

city council to fund bollards at<br />

the Spreydon Tennis Club to stop<br />

illegal rubbish dumping.<br />

President Kelly Perazzolo is<br />

making a bid to have the Spreydon<br />

Domain car park upgraded following<br />

concerns of rubbish dumping<br />

and overcrowding.<br />

Perazzolo presented to the<br />

Waitai Spreydon-Cashmere Community<br />

Board at its latest meeting,<br />

requesting repairs on the car park.<br />

He told the board the bollards at<br />

the entrance of the car park were<br />

damaged in the 2010/11 earthquakes<br />

and are no longer used,<br />

and while there was a city council<br />

owned padlock and chain being<br />

operated by security, it would be<br />

better to have the bollards operational<br />

again.<br />

“In recent years there has been<br />

an ongoing and worsening problem<br />

with vehicles entering and<br />

rubbish being dumped,” Perazzolo<br />

wrote in a letter to the board.<br />

“Bollards would act as an additional<br />

deterrent.”<br />

Perazzolo estimated that the<br />

combined membership of the<br />

Spreydon Tennis Club, the Kereru<br />

Sports and Cultural Club and the<br />

future lessee of Coronation Hall<br />

will see more than 900 potential<br />

users for the car park.<br />

$5m revamp planned for hotel<br />

• By Emily Moorhouse<br />

A POPULAR Halswell hotel<br />

is set to undergo renovations<br />

expected to cost more than $5<br />

million.<br />

Renovations will start on<br />

Craythorne’s Hotel over the next<br />

two-to-three months, after it was<br />

bought by The Oxford Group last<br />

year.<br />

The Oxford Group runs Fat<br />

Eddies, Original Sin, The Bog,<br />

Kong and The Bealey Quarter,<br />

and is co-owned by well known<br />

hospitality industry businessman<br />

Max Bremner.<br />

Bremner said they are in the<br />

final stages of planning what<br />

renovations will be done to the<br />

hotel and bar and what these will<br />

look like.<br />

“We’re getting there, we’re<br />

probably 95 per cent done,” he<br />

said. “It will be something for<br />

everyone, it will be a great neighbourhood<br />

hotel.”<br />

Bremner wasn’t sure when the<br />

renovations would be completed.<br />

“It all comes down to supply<br />

of products. It all comes down to<br />

lots of things really.”<br />

Bremner said designs include<br />

a big outdoor area as well as upgrades<br />

to the hotel rooms, which<br />

would be a “considerable spend”.<br />

While he couldn’t say exactly<br />

how much the renovations would<br />

cost, he said it would be “well<br />

over five million”.<br />

FRESH: Renovations will begin on Craythorne’s Hotel over<br />

the next two-to-three months.<br />

NEW LOOK: An artist’s impression shows what renovations are in store for on the hotel on its Facebook page.<br />

Mural aimed at creating a<br />

sense of community pride<br />

• By Emily Moorhouse<br />

AN ARTIST, a project manager<br />

and a natural paint company<br />

have teamed up to see a 32.4m<br />

mural installed in Radley Park.<br />

The mural has been in the<br />

works for more than a year now<br />

and will sit along the fence line<br />

at Woolston’s Roimata Food<br />

Commons.<br />

Roimata Food Commons cofounder<br />

Michael Reynolds said<br />

the idea behind the mural is to<br />

help people feel welcome and a<br />

sense of pride within the community<br />

after seeing the positive<br />

reaction from the street art postearthquakes.<br />

“Being a reasonably creative<br />

person myself it felt like adding<br />

some artwork was a logical next<br />

step,” Reynolds said.<br />

Freelance artist Sandrine Castel<br />

designed the mural to align<br />

with the natural aspects of the<br />

gardens at Radley Park.<br />

“I was a preacher for Roimata<br />

for many years, I was following<br />

them, so when Michael<br />

approached me it was obvious<br />

that I wanted my artwork to be<br />

associated with those kinds of<br />

projects,” Castel said.<br />

“When you’re an artist and<br />

someone asks you to create<br />

something for them it’s obviously<br />

what you’re aiming for,”<br />

Castel said.<br />

“Also as a graphic designer<br />

I only work with conscious<br />

businesses, I guess Roimata was<br />

perfectly aligned with my values<br />

as well.”<br />

Reynolds reached out to<br />

Natural Paint Co about a year<br />

ago and painting the green<br />

coats started about six months<br />

ago with the help of staff from<br />

design school Yoobee.<br />

Two weeks ago, Castel started<br />

tracing and painting the design,<br />

which was expected to<br />

be finished in a week, but now<br />

she thinks it will take at least<br />

another two weeks.<br />

“It’s taking much longer than<br />

we anticipated,” Castel said.<br />

“It’s a very time-consuming<br />

project which is still alright, I’m<br />

kind of in my happy space when<br />

Congestion in car park a problem<br />

MESS: Dumped rubbish at<br />

Spreydon Domain. ​<br />

• From page 1<br />

Perazzolo raised other issues<br />

with the car park such as the<br />

fading parking lines, including<br />

disabled parks.<br />

He said this results in cars<br />

double parking which adds<br />

to the issue of congestion in<br />

the car park, particularly on<br />

Saturday during sport.<br />

Perazzolo also said in his letter<br />

that the asphalt surfacing<br />

was in poor condition causing<br />

weeds to grow in the stormwater<br />

drains.<br />

Perazzolo questioned if the<br />

repairs to the car park would<br />

be carried out alongside the<br />

Coronation Hall repairs this<br />

year, which sits opposite the<br />

tennis club.<br />

The board has requested<br />

staff advice on options to<br />

upgrade the car park and<br />

whether this can be done with<br />

the Coronation Hall rebuild.<br />

SECURITY: The<br />

earthquake-damaged<br />

bollards. ​<br />

I’m painting.”<br />

Because the process is taking<br />

longer than expected Reynolds<br />

is trying to source funding to<br />

pay Castel for her time.<br />

Reynolds expects the mural<br />

to be erected in spring, as the<br />

colder damp weather in winter<br />

would make it difficult to do the<br />

touch-ups once its installed.<br />

‘There’s a real<br />

buzz amongst<br />

the kids’<br />

• From page 1<br />

The highest fundraising team<br />

was the Youthline team, raising a<br />

total of $9587.<br />

Each day for a week the pupils<br />

completed 31 minutes of exercise<br />

to represent the average time of<br />

31 minutes that a young person in<br />

need spends talking to a Youthline<br />

counsellor.<br />

Principal Alice Denley said the<br />

idea for the school to participate<br />

in the challenge stemmed from<br />

Bullying Free NZ Week and Pink<br />

Shirt Day.<br />

“For the past few years, our<br />

student council has run events<br />

throughout the week at school,”<br />

Denley said.<br />

“This year, we wanted to do<br />

something bigger, so we have married<br />

the three events together.”<br />

Each pupil created an online<br />

profile to promote the cause and<br />

were donated money from their<br />

friends and family, some even<br />

receiving donations from family<br />

members who live overseas.<br />

“There’s a real buzz amongst the<br />

kids participating. It’s so awesome<br />

to see them encouraging each<br />

other and pushing themselves<br />

through to the full 31 minutes.<br />

“Two year 5/6 boys were overheard<br />

explaining what we were<br />

doing to a member of the public.<br />

Hearing them articulate the ‘why’<br />

behind our cause was so special,”<br />

Denley said.<br />

“They knew exactly how to<br />

explain the significance of the 31<br />

minutes too.”<br />

The type of exercise varied from<br />

HIIT classes to cross country and<br />

circuit training in the school’s hall.<br />

Denley said maintaining an<br />

awareness of bullying is important<br />

and the school aims to create a<br />

safe, respectful and inclusive environment.<br />

“If students are being bullied, we<br />

want them to feel well supported,<br />

so they know what to do and how<br />

to respond. Our teachers offer<br />

mindfulness and values based programmes<br />

to support the well being<br />

of their students.”<br />

“We also have Kaimahi from<br />

Mana Ake and Christchurch<br />

Methodist Mission working with<br />

individuals or whānau to support<br />

their learning or emotional wellbeing,”<br />

Denley said.<br />

Anderson said happened when<br />

he crashed while mountain biking<br />

A police spokesperson said<br />

although the bike was located at<br />

are yet to be laid in relation to<br />

Anderson’s stolen bike.<br />

Bensley asked Dave Johnson<br />

from RAD Bikes, a community<br />

bike workshop, to give the bike a<br />

spruce up, then arranged for Anderson<br />

to visit the police station<br />

to collect it.<br />

“Registering my bike on 529<br />

really expect to see it again,”<br />

Anderson said. “I prefer biking to<br />

driving a car, unless it’s raining,<br />

so I’m thrilled to have it back.”<br />

Since its launch on April 12,<br />

over 1500 bikes have been registered<br />

on 529 Garage.<br />

A police spokesperson said<br />

while Anderson was lucky that<br />

his bike was identified and recovered<br />

without the serial number,<br />

it’s important to register your<br />

bike before it’s stolen.<br />

That way the serial number can<br />

be recorded in the 529 database,<br />

to greatly increase the likelihood<br />

a bike being identified and returned<br />

to its owner.<br />

the most sustainable farms in the<br />

country; visiting Sanctuary Mountain<br />

Maungatautari; testing freshwater;<br />

Emily rafting in the Waitomo Caves.<br />

and looking at plankton under a<br />

The evenings were filled with<br />

workshops, games, a policy simulation,<br />

and planning actions for attendees to<br />

continue to work on back at home.<br />

incredible week and an unforgettable<br />

experience with like-minded youth."

We guarantee ours for 5<br />

years – ask for the latest<br />

offers.<br />

Or book a Heat Pump Service.<br />

Dedicated, friendly team.<br />

Stay Healthy<br />

NEW Aura Air Purifier – enjoy<br />

clean air everywhere.<br />

Scientifically proven to<br />

eliminate SARS-CoV-2 by<br />

99.998%, keeping indoor air<br />

safe and healthy.<br />

Preventative home<br />

maintenance tips<br />

Check your water tanks, pipes and<br />

outside taps<br />

Consider turning off outside taps to avoid<br />

freezing and bursting. Covering water<br />

tanks and pipes is a cost-effective way of<br />

preventing this and reduces heat loss.<br />

Consider your outdoor safety<br />

and security<br />

With the evenings being darker earlier,<br />

frosts on outdoor steps, decks and pathways<br />

are a slipping hazard.<br />

Ensure you have adequate outdoor<br />

lighting, a clutter free and smooth pathway<br />

to your rubbish bins, woodpile, external<br />

garage or sleepout.<br />

Clean up spills immediately. Consider<br />

moisture-absorbent mats and handrails.<br />

Cut back your trees<br />

With the leaves already fallen, now is a<br />

good time to assess your trees and trim<br />

back any dead branches and branches<br />

overhanging your windows, spouting and<br />

roof. Check your roof for leaks, loose nails,<br />

and that it has a sound coating. Also look<br />

for moss and algae.<br />

Clear your gutters, drains and<br />

downpipes<br />

An accumulation of autumn leaves can<br />

quickly block gutters, which can lead to<br />

roof leaks, overflow and flooding. Consider<br />

protecting your gutters from birds, hail and<br />

leaves.<br />

Stagnant water may freeze resulting in<br />

gutters and downpipes coming loose or<br />

collapsing.<br />

Blocked drains are a potential health<br />

hazard, create an unpleasant odour and<br />

attracts bugs and small pests.<br />

Store your seasonal equipment<br />

with care<br />

Before you put your lawnmower and<br />

weedeater away for the season, run low or<br />

drain the petrol. Petrol goes off and come<br />

spring your old petrol can adversely affect<br />

the performance of your equipment and<br />

block up your filters.<br />

Cover outdoor furniture and secure<br />

items, such as trampolines, which may get<br />

blown around in strong winds.<br />

Consider options to extend your outdoor<br />

living all year round.<br />

Prepare your<br />

home for winter<br />

Minimise your heat loss<br />

Insulation<br />

Without insulation, approx. 30-35%<br />

of the heat loss occurs through the roof,<br />

20-30% through windows, and 20-25%<br />

through walls. The floor and air leakage<br />

make up the balance.<br />

Drafts<br />

Seal up any unused openings such as cat<br />

doors and open fireplaces.<br />

Use draft stopping tape around windows<br />

and tape, door ‘sausages or a rolled-up<br />

towel for doors.<br />

Double glaze windows, there is a wide<br />

range of DIY Window insulation kits that<br />

are both effective and economical.<br />

Downlight fittings<br />

Some modern LED downlights have<br />

insulation fitted over them, instead of<br />

leaving a gap for fire prevention.<br />

Super-efficient LEDs use less energy<br />

and can save lighting costs. Ask a lighting<br />

specialist or registered electrician for<br />

advice.<br />

Simple steps to reduce dampness<br />

Air your home regularly<br />

Open doors and windows for 10-15<br />

minutes each morning or use a ventilation<br />

system.<br />

Use energy efficient, low<br />

emissions heaters<br />

Heat rooms being used to at least 18˚C.<br />

Don’t use unflued or portable gas heaters.<br />

Use extractor fans<br />

They can help to get rid of moisture in<br />

the bathroom and laundry and use a fan or<br />

rangehood in the kitchen.<br />

Use lids on pots when you cook<br />

This helps to stop the steam escaping.<br />

Turn on the fan before a shower<br />

or bath<br />

Shut the bathroom door and open the<br />

window slightly. Afterwards, leave the fan<br />

running until the moisture clears.<br />

Move furniture away from walls in<br />

winter<br />

A 10cm gap discourages mould<br />

(especially on external walls).<br />

Dry washing outside<br />

Use a washing line or rack in the garage<br />

or a under covered area.<br />

Leave wardrobes slightly open<br />

A little air circulation discourages mould<br />

growing on fabric.<br />

Customers proud to use<br />

recycled building products<br />

Exploring Musgroves’ sheds with<br />

their huge variety of recycled and new<br />

building products can be a fascinating and<br />

rewarding experience.<br />

This iconic Canterbury company has<br />

been recycling building materials for the<br />

last 50 years, and not only do they have<br />

an incredible range of products that are<br />

well organised and displayed, but, over<br />

that time, they have also built themselves<br />

a reputation for providing exceptional<br />

service.<br />

The reviews from their many customers<br />

(whether they be homeowners, business<br />

owners or tradies) repeatedly refer to the<br />

care and commitment of Musgroves’ longserving<br />

team members, who have gone<br />

above and beyond to assist them with their<br />

many and varied project needs.<br />

General manager Sue Brown confirms<br />

that Musgroves has thousands of repeat<br />

customers that come from all round the<br />

South Island (and beyond) to find treasures<br />

for their projects. “Whether it be to look<br />

for T&G flooring for their new build, a<br />

french door for their home renovation, a<br />

sliding door for their sleepout, doors and<br />

windows for their child’s playhouse, or<br />

timber beams for a business fitout, there are<br />

numerous reasons why people come to visit<br />

our yard.”<br />

As Sue also says, you only need to look<br />

at the Wall of Fame on their website to get<br />

a sense of the pride that their customer<br />

community takes in being able to reuse<br />

the products that Musgroves sells for their<br />

build or renovation projects.<br />

Upcycling and recycling is alive and<br />

well at Musgroves in Wigram and once<br />

you have talked to any member of the<br />

Musgroves’ team you will have the sense<br />

that sustainability is not just a current fad<br />

there, but rather it is in their DNA. But,<br />

until you have paid them a visit you won’t<br />

be able to fully appreciate the huge range<br />

of building materials that Musgroves can<br />

supply you with.<br />
