Residents want council 

to make beaches 

safer for dogs 

• By Emily Moorhouse 

VICKI HEASLEY’S bichonmaltese 

was attacked and killed 

by another dog at New Brighton 

Beach. 

Four years later, she is too afraid 

to walk her other dogs on the beach 

alone as she said it’s “not safe” any 

more. 

Now, Heasley is applauding 

residents’ associations call on the 

city council to have stricter enforcement 

of dog control bylaws on 

beaches along Marine Pde. 

In October 2018, Heasley was 

walking her two dogs Button and 

Jewel when a “big black” dog off 

the leash approached them 

and suddenly attacked Button, 

pushing her into the 

sand and killing her. 

Heasley said it took three 

adults to pull the other dog 

off Button who was already 

dead. She said this wasn’t 

uncommon in the area. 

“I won’t go to the beach 

now unless I’m with my 

husband because there’s just too 

many dogs that run up and try to 

have a go at other dogs,” Heasley 

said. 

“I’ve been abused and sworn at 

by people whose big dogs have run

up to mine when I’ve picked mine 

up. There’s just no accountability 

for owning a pet.” 

North Beach Residents’ Association 

co-chair Phillip Ridge, who 

lives in New Brighton, organised 

the submission. 

He said it was clear there was 

an issue with some dog 

owners not complying 

with rules such as picking 

up their dog faeces and 

having control of their 

dog and having “lack of 

consideration” for other 

beach users. 

The joint submission 

was presented to the 

Waitai Coastal-Burwood 

Community Board by the North 

Beach, Waimairi Beach, New 

Brighton and Southshore residents’ 

associations. 

The submission highlights an 

increase in dog owners exercising 

their dogs at the beach with 

a minority not complying 

with the dog control 

policy and bylaw. 

The bylaw lays out 

obligations of dog 

owners, including 

keeping a dog 

under effective 

control 

and 

removing 

dog 

faeces in 

public 

places. 

“It was 

evident 

among locals 

that some 

unacceptable 

behaviour was 

happening whether people aren’t 

aware of the bylaws or people just 

don’t follow the rules,” Ridge said. 

City council head of regulatory 

compliance, Tracey Weston, said 

the city council undertakes regular 

proactive patrols and also responds 

to complaints received to ensure 

compliance with the Dog Control 

Act and the city council’s Dog 

Control Bylaw.

Sparks performance 

a night to remember 


VIOLINIST ARNA Morton 

has grown up with the Sparks 

concert – only this time 

around things looked a little 

different. 

Morton traded the view of 

the stage for the view of the 

audience as she performed 

with the Christchurch 

Symphony Orchestra at 

Saturday night’s Sparks in 

North Hagley Park. 

Although performing 

at Sparks was a firs time 

experience for Morton, 

she said the concert went 

rea ly we l and had a great 

atmosphere. 

“I was just so excited to be 

back performing together 

with the band,” she said. 

“Obviously last year we had 

a lot of disruptions so it was 

nice to have everyone get back 

into it.” 

Even after playing the 

violin since she was five, the 

coastal area resident said 

it was normal to sti l get 

nervous before a performance, 

especia ly for a large crowd. 

“There’s this heightened 

sense of adrenaline before 

you go on stage. I definitely 

still get nervous, which is 

important,” she said. “It’s 

about channe ling the energy 

required for a performance.”

about 

Bromley 

‘stench’ 


RESIDENTS LIVING near the 

Bromley wastewater treatment 

plant have been “coping with the 

stench” for weeks now and want 

something done to fix it. 

The wastewater treatment plant 

caught fire in November and has 

been emitting an unpleasant smell 

ever since, causing frustration 

among residents. 

Katinka Visser has lived in 

Bromley for 35 years, and said 

while the stench hasn’t been as 

bad during the new year for her, 

she sometimes felt as though she 

couldn’t breathe. 

“I’ve had three nights that I 

virtually couldn’t breathe, it was 

that bad, there’s like a fog and it’s 

just sitting.’’ 

She said even after putting her 

head under the blankets, she 

could sti l smell the stench. 

Visser said because the wind 

has been coming from a southerly 

direction lately, she hasn’t been 

experiencing the sme l as strongly, 

but knows that residents close by 

do. 

“I’m so thankful that I’m not 

affected as much as most people,” 

she said. 

“There are people way, way 

worse off than me.”

Money 

puts hand 

up for local 

elections 


FORMER Coastal-Burwood 

chairwoman Kim Money has 

made a bid to return to local body 

politics, with plans to stand for 

council as an independent for the 

Coastal Ward. 

Celeste Donovan 

is the current 

Coastal Ward 

councillor and 

said it was always 

great for democracy 

when you 

had a choice. 

“It’s 

encouraging to hear another 

woman is standing and there will 

be others putting up a hand closer 

to the election date,” Donovan 

said. 

Money was the board’s 

chairwoman in 2016, but didn’t 

stand for re-election in 2019 due 

to personal circumstances. 

Now she says those 

circumstances have changed 

and the timing is right for her to 

throw her hat back in the arena. 

“I’m keen to get back again and 

represen this community that I 

love so much,” she said. “We rea ly 

do need that experience from the 

coast sitting a the council table 

and I would love to do that for my 

community.” 

Money said it had been 

unfortunate she couldn’t stand 

again in 2019 as there were a few 

unfinished things she needed to 

do. • Turn to page 4

Donald’s cabin officially open for art 


VOLUNTEERS, sponsors and 

funders gathered to celebrate the 

official opening of a deaf-andblind 

artist’s community-built 

cabin. 

New Brighton Community 

Gardens was bustling last 

Wednesday with people involved 

in the instalment of a cabin for 

artist Donald Gibson. 

Earlier this year, the New 

Brighton Community Garden 

team, along with helpers, 

installed a kit-set cabin in the 

gardens for Gibson to continue 

his artwork. 

Garden funding and administration 

manager Lin Klenner 

said it was the garden’s first 

opportunity to come together 

after Covid restrictions, describing 

the evening as “a night to 

remember.” 

The evening started with a 

welcome from the garden team 

followed by a speech from funder 

and Department of Internal 

Affairs community advisor 

Adam Parker, who said it was a 

first for Lotto to fund a project 

like this. 

“The committee, while at first 

apprehensive, took a chance and 

have been very impressed with 

the outcome. In fact, it exceeded 

their expectations and they will 

look at similar projects more 

willingly now,” Klenner said. 

Klenner then spoke about the 

first time the garden team was 

GRATITUDE: Donald Gibson and Lin Klenner, who said the 

opening of Donald’s cabin was a night to remember.

approached by Gibson and his 

carer a year ago, after Gibson’s 

old studio at New Brighton 

School was set for demolition. 

“New Brighton Community 

Gardens is in need of people 

defying the odds and showcasing 

anything is possible, a blindand-deaf 

artist will teach us and 

our community exactly that,” 

Klenner said. 

The gardens had just one week 

to move one of Gibson’s artworks 

from his former studio – a

Smith, Stephen Pearce, Maree Bone, Donald Gibson, Lin 

Klenner, Jo Zervos and Celeste Donovan. 

600kg sculpture. 

“The gardens was desperately 

ringing around to find someone 

to move the sculpture,” Klenner 

said. “Stephen Pearce from 

Citycare answered the call . . . 

and we managed to move the 

sculpture on the coldest day of 

the year.” 

The event was invite only and 

included volunteers who had 

helped with the cabin, as well 

as Coastal Ward city councillor 

Celeste Donovan and Waitai 

Coastal-Burwood Community 

Board member Jo Zervos. 

Klenner said Gibson expressed 

his gratitude to everyone for 

their help with his new studio 

through his interpreter before 

cutting the ribbon to the 

cabin. 

“Donald’s sense of humour 

was truly coming through as he 

was signing a countdown from 

five down, everyone was counting 

with him to cut the ribbon,” 

she said. 

“Donald is still in the process 

of setting up the space and getting 

a feel for it as well as orienting 

himself. 

“He is currently working 

on the stone sculpture in our 

gardens, which has come along 

impressively,” Klenner said.

Confrontations sometimes 

end in physical assault 

• From page 1 

“Enforcement options include 

issuing warnings and infringements; 

if continual breaches 

occur over a 24-month period 

this may result in an owner being 

made a probationary dog owner 

or may be disqualified from 

owing a dog for a determined 

period,” Weston said. 

However, Heasley said she has 

never seen animal control on the 

beach. 

“I see them parked sitting in 

their car looking on their phone 

and they’re probably doing business, 

I don’t know, but you never 

ever, ever see them on the beach 

where all the problems happen.” 

For the period of January 1, 

2021, to December 31, 2021, city 

council received 528 complaints 

of dog attacks, 74 complaints of 

dogs in prohibited areas/breaching 

the bylaw and 74 complaints 

of dogs fouling across the city. 

Board chair Kelly Barber said 

the submission has been referred 

to city council staff in the animal 

management team to investigate 

and report back to the board. 

“It’s quite rare for community 

organisations and residents’ associations 

to get together,” Barber 

said. 

“I think the whole board 

thinks it’s something that needs 

to be taken seriously.” 

Ridge said the issue had been 

bubbling away for some time but 

has recently got worse and said 

some instances led to confrontations 

between beach users, sometimes 

ending in physical assault. 

“We want to ensure everyone 

can enjoy their experience at the 

beach,” Ridge said. 

“The bad behaviour doesn’t 

come from dogs, it’s the dog 

owners that haven’t trained their 

dogs properly.” 

Ridge said he hopes some 

action can be taken by the city 

council to have stricter enforcement 

of the dog bylaws to ensure 

everyone can enjoy the beach. 

“With freedoms comes responsibilities,” 

he said. 

“People can have their dog off 

the leash at the beach but they 

need to have control of them and 

respect the rights of others. It just 

comes down to consideration.” 

Scooter riders raise 

almost $350,000 

for Cancer Society 

Alex Faulkner (above left) of Ohoka and his father 

Rodney Faulkner of Parklands were among almost 

300 riders who hit the road for the biennial Tranz 

Alpine Scooter Safari at the weekend. Aboard 50cc 

scooters, the group rode 240km over the Southern 

Alps to Hokitika as they raised almost $350,000 for 

the Cancer Society. The first scooter safari was held 

in 2009. Photographers John Cosgrove and Geoff 

Sloan caught up with participants at the start of their 

journey at McLeans Island. •

Community frustrated over stolen tabletop 


A HANDMADE tabletop that 

was part of primary school 

pupils’ community project has 

been stolen within two months 

of being installed. 

Banks Avenue School pupils 

raised funds to cover some of 

the $3500 that a macrocarpa 

tabletop cost to go with their Adventure 

Ave Playground project 

in Richmond. 

But last week, the tabletop was 

stolen, causing frustration for 

those involved. 

Avon-Otakaro Network 

manager Hayley 

Guglietta 

brought the issue 

of theft and 

vandalism in the 

red zone to the 

Waitai Coastal- 

Hayley 

Guglietta 

Burwood Community 

Board 

last month and 

was told red zone 

patrols would be reinstated in 

early May. 

However, the patrols are yet to 

be reinstated, leaving Guglietta 

disappointed to see another 

community project targeted by 

petty crime. 

“We’re having so much trouble 

out here, we wanted to get the 

security patrols back in before we 

put anything else back in there 

and they were supposed to get 

them back up and running but 

they haven’t,” Guglietta said. 

ASSET: The tabletop made from macrocarpa was used as 

a shared food table for children. 

“It’s hugely disappointing.” 

Guglietta said there has been 

ongoing issues with theft and 

vandalism in the red zone with 

the Medway St bridge being the 

latest target of vandalism days 

after it opened. 

Burwood Ward board member 

Bebe Frayle said there 

were issues with sorting 

out a contractor for the 

patrols and the city council 

is working through 

this process. 

“They are expected to 

get these up and running 

end of May or beginning 

of June,” Frayle said. 

“They are committed 

to doing it, it’s just about 

sorting the logistics.” 

Guglietta said it was the pupils 

that discovered the tabletop was 

missing when they went to the 

playground, which was “even 

Bebe Frayle 

EFFORT: Hayley Guglietta said wooden posts that were 

lying around the playground appeared to have been used 

to roll the tabletop off-site. 

more disappointing.” 

“This is like three or four years 

of work and planning that gets 

wiped in one evening,” she said. 

“They’re wanting activation in 

the red zone but no one’s going 

to want to activate anything if 

everything they do is going to 

get stolen or vandalised 

or tagged.” 

Guglietta has filed 

a police report on the 

tabletop and has gone 

back to the city council 

about the issue but was 

told they would get back 

to her. 

She said the people 

that stole the table would 

have had to use wire 

cutters and tools to unscrew the 

bolts and used wooden posts 

lying around the playground to 

roll it off-site. 

“Our communities want to activate 

the red zone but if we can’t 

get support on simple things like 

helping us with security then 

no one’s going to want to do it,” 

Guglietta said. 

“Our community deserves 

to have some nice things, we’ve 

been through a lot.” 

Guglietta is asking the community 

to keep an eye out for the 

tabletop that is over three metres 

long as they “just want it back” 

for the pupils. 

“It’s not going to stop us from 

doing stuff,” Guglietta said. 

“We’ll just have to think 

of how we’re going to do it 

differently.”

Rugby stalwart tries his hand at horse racing 

• By Dave Di Somma 

SOME PEOPLE are born 

into racing. Others, like New 

Brighton Rugby Club stalwart 

Tyson Keats, marry into it. 

And for someone who says he 

“doesn’t know much” he’s now 

getting involved at various levels 

of the sport. 

After marrying the then Chelsea 

Jones, Keats found himself 

part of the extended Jones clan, 

one of racing’s most famous 

families. 

His in-laws are Derek and 

Adele Jones, who have recent 

success with the likes of open 

class trotter Majestic Lavros and 

Rangiora Winter Cup winner 

Kiss The Girls. Earlier this year 

they also sold an Elusive Chick – 

Bettor’s Delight colt for $210,000 

at the NZB Yearling Sales. 

“They call Derek the horse 

whisperer – he’s been having a 

great run,” says Keats, a former 

Crusaders and Hurricanes halfback. 

“You wouldn’t meet a nicer 

bloke.” 

Keats has had interests in a 

number of horses over the years, 

including seven race winner Nui 

Ba Den who’s since headed to 

North America. 

Right now he is one of six 

that own three-race winner 

Moody River, trained by Matt 

Purvis, and has a small share in 

Swagger Man along with high 

profile owners such as Philip 

and Glenys Kennard and Peter 

Baken. Swagger Man broke his

Ironside who share in the ownership. 

maiden status three starts back 

at Addington at start number 

seven. 

Keats got into the horse 

through Swagger Man’s trainerdriver 

David White, a close 

family friend of the Jones’. Keats 

is also good mates with Methven 

Trotting Club president Carl 

Markham, who is White’s fatherin-law. 

White is married to 

Markham’s daughter Stacey. 

Keats’ involvement in racing 

doesn’t stop there. His company 

TK Plastering has been sponsoring 

races and soon will have a 

permanent hoarding at Addington 

Raceway. 

“It’s just down the back 

straight . . . we sponsor a few 

things, it’s always good to give a 

little back.” 

TK Plastering is Keats’ exterior 

plastering business. While based 

in Christchurch he has expanded 

to Wellington and Central Otago 

and has 30 staff members on the 

books. 

During his playing days Keats 

attracted a fair bit of media attention 

as the part-time plasterer, 

part-time rugby player. He’s 

a chatty cheeky character, as 

many halfbacks are. Long-time 

team-mate and fellow halfback 

Andy Ellis also has an interest in 

harness racing, as a part owner 

of horses like Lifes A Beach and 

Monaco Grace, and he was also a 

part owner of millionaire trotter 

Speeding Spur before he was 

retired to stud. 

Keats was in the Canterbury 

team that won back-to-back 

NPC titles in 2008 and 2009, 

before playing 24 games of super 

rugby for the Crusaders (3) and 

Hurricanes (21). 

On moving to Wellington 

he sold his business, only to set 

up his own company again in 

Christchurch in 2014 after rugby 

playing stints at Aironi in Italy 

and at London Welsh. 

A New Brighton member since 

he was a nipper, Keats is now 40 

and says his rugby playing days 

are over. 

“I played for New Brighton div 

3 last year but my knees are done 

. . . it was just a few cameos.” 

These days golf occupies some 

of his leisure time – “I play off 

a 12 to 14” – at the Waimairi 

Beach club. 

He also enjoys going to the 

races and seeing his horses up 

close. 

‘And I like a punt but I just 

pick them on names,” he jokes, 

“and I like outsiders.” 

—Harness News Desk 

During his playing days 

Keats was known as a ‘parttime 

plasterer, part-time 

rugby player.’ 

mitre 10 mega ferrymead 

lend a helping hand 

thanks to a joint venture between Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead, Southbuild Ltd and Spinal unit volunteers, a 

previously scruffy outdoor area at the Burwood Spinal unit has been transformed into a fresh and welcoming space. 

It all started when a former Spinal Unit patient and her 

whanau approached Southbuild to ask if they could 

repair an outdoor table. Leanne and Paul from Southbuild 

visited the site and realised that a lot more could be done 

to spruce up the area. Having participated in a previous 

Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead’s Helping Hands Project, they 

approached the store to see if they would assist. Miles from 

Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead willingly agreed. 

On May 4 2022, Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead staff, the 

Southbuild Ltd team and the volunteers got to work. This 

involved weeding/water blasting the patio, constructing 

and painting four raised planter boxes, repairing and 

painting picnic tables, installation of a shade sail and posts 

and a general tidy-up and removal of rubble. 

Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead supplied labour and all the 

materials, Southbuild donated labour, and Canterbury 

Trellis supplied two new picnic tables. The Spinal Unit 

provided a huge spread of food and a coffee cart, which 

BEFOrE 

AFtEr 

was welcomed by all. 

“Having the space tidy and looking presentable has 

made quite a difference for people staying in the unit,” 

the Burwood Spinal Unit’s peer support co-ordinator 

Brett Ladbrook says. “It has come up great. Staff are 

sitting out there for lunch and the patients are using it a 

lot more as well.” 

Brett also says the area was “quite a suntrap” so the shade sail 

has made the area more comfortable to sit in. And as Cam 

from Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead, says, “We turned a rundown 

smokers’ area into a multi-use space for all patients and 

families of the Spinal Unit to enjoy. Hugely rewarding!”

Returning stolen bikes to owners 

THREE WEEKS after a bike 

registration service aimed at 

retrieving stolen bikes launched, 

a bike flagged as stolen has been 

reunited with its owner. 

Police and the city council 

teamed up with 529 Garage, a 

free bike registration service 

aimed at discouraging bike thefts 

last month. 

Soon after, a bike owner who 

thought they would never see 

their bike again has got his 

wheels back. 

Mark Anderson’s bike was 

stolen from the bike shed at his 

apartment building in the central 

city in February. 

To his surprise, he spotted it 

in a nearby property soon after 

it was stolen. Anderson called 

police who visited the address, 

but the bike had been moved. 

He’d seen something about 

529 Garage in the media, so he 

registered his bike and flagged it 

as stolen. 

Unfortunately, he didn’t have 

the serial number, but he did 

have clear photos of his bike. 

Constable Olivia Bensley, one 

of the police administrators for 

529 Garage, was executing a warrant 

in relation to other stolen 

items when she saw Anderson’s 

bike. 

“Without the serial number it 

would have been almost impossible 

to identify. Coincidentally, I’d 

seen his bike on 529 Garage when 

I was trying to identify a different 

bike,” Bensley said. “It was pure 

chance that I recognised it when I 

saw it at the address.” 

Although a few parts had been 

switched out, there was a recognisable 

scratch on the frame that 

Anderson said happened when 

he crashed while mountain biking 

in the Port Hills. 

A police spokesperson said 

although the bike was located at 

a nearby address, theft charges 

are yet to be laid in relation to 

Anderson’s stolen bike. 

Bensley asked Dave Johnson 

from RAD Bikes, a community 

bike workshop, to give the bike a 

spruce up, then arranged for Anderson 

to visit the police station 

to collect it. 

“Registering my bike on 529 

Garage was easy but I didn’t 

really expect to see it again,” 

Anderson said. “I prefer biking to 

driving a car, unless it’s raining, 

so I’m thrilled to have it back.” 

Since its launch on April 12, 

over 1500 bikes have been registered 

on 529 Garage. 

A police spokesperson said 

while Anderson was lucky that 

his bike was identified and recovered 

without the serial number, 

it’s important to register your 

bike before it’s stolen. 

That way the serial number can 

be recorded in the 529 database, 

to greatly increase the likelihood 

a bike being identified and 

returned to its owner.

register your bike, go to

Speed 

reductions 

for 28 streets 


TWENTY-EIGHT streets 

in Shirley will drop from 

50km/h to 40km/h as part of 

the city council’s Slow Speed 

Neighbourhood project. 

But of the 53 submitters that 

gave their feedback, more than a 

third were against the changes. 

THe Waipapa Papanui-Innes 

Community Board approved the 

proposal to reduce the speed limit 

on all roads bound by Shirley Rd, 

Marshland Rd, Briggs Rd, Akaroa 

St and Hills Rd. 

A city council report on traffic 

speed data indicated that most 

road users in this area already 

recognise that the currently posted 

speed limit is not safe, and are 

travelling below this limit. 

However, after putting the 

proposed changes out for 

community consultation, a 

minority shared their concerns 

that a reduction in speed would 

not be effective due to some 

drivers already exceeding the 

speed limit. 

Figures show that while 41 per 

cent of submitters support the 

changes, 38 per cent opposed 

them and 21 per cent had no clear 

support or opposition. 

City council staff will monitor 

the roads once the slow speed 

Zone is implemented over the 

next few months and “address as 

needed.” 

Trustee Services 

“We cannot predict 

the future, but we 

can protect it” 

Protect your future 

with a compliant 

TRUST 

The best time to establish a trust is when you do not 

need it. 

Our purpose is to advise individuals on asset 

preservation and protection through a client focused 

approach tailored to their needs. 

We are driven by integrity and building strong and lasting 

relationships with our clients. Our Trustee Services 

are provided by a dedicated team who understand 

the complexities and detail of New Zealand Trust Law, 

especially in light of the recent legislative changes. 

Trusts require meticulous management to ensure they 

are and will continue to be, legally compliant. 

We have vast experience in reviewing non-compliant 

trusts and swiftly making the necessary changes 

to ensure they are legally compliant. If a trust is not 

compliant it cannot protect your assets. 

How we protect your future 

Trust Establishment 

We take the time to thoroughly understand 

our clients situation and their unique goals for 

the future. If a Trust is appropriate, we assist 

in deciding the most suitable type. The various 

types we consider include Family, Single, Parallel, 

Business, Investment or Inheritance depending 

on their specific personal needs or objectives. 

Trust Management 

Trusts require meticulous management to 

ensure they are and continue to be legally 

compliant. This is particularly important with the 

recent changes to legislation in Trust Law with 

the introduction of the Trusts Act 2019. 

We are passionate about and have a new level 

of precision to our trust record keeping so as to 

comply with these new requirements from the 

get go. 

Review Existing Trusts 

With New Zealand having the greatest numbers 

of trusts per capita, it is concerning knowing 

that a large number of them (which have not had 

a review in light of the new Trust Act 2019) are 

likely to be successfully challenged. This means 

that without the review they are likely to not 

fulfil their purpose of protecting individuals hard 

earned assets. 

Business risk, relationship property claims, and 

legal action are all possible ways a 

trust can be challenged. We are 

experts in reviewing existing trusts. 

We swiftly implement any 

necessary changes and ensure 

they will offer full protection from 

any potential challenge. 

We are passionate about 

helping people and ensuring 

their futures are protected.

Dress up lamb rack the Greek way 

Be transported to 

the Mediterranean 

with this easy and 

delicious lamb roast 

NEW SLANT: 

Try something 

different with 

lamb rack. 

Roasted Greek lamb 

Serves 4-6 

Ingredients 

2 racks of lamb 

3 tbsp red wine vinegar 

3 tbsp coriander seeds 

2 tbsp fresh rosemary 

½ tbsp ground black pepper 

1 to taste sea salt 

2 lemons 

4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 

100ml red wine 

If you like 

seafood, 

prawns can be 

made prepared 

in many 

different ways. 

Directions 

Use two small racks of lamb 

(or lamb shoulder or top rump 

enough to serve 4-6 people). 

Trim surplus fat from the lamb 

and pierce the skin with a series 

of little holes. Rub the lamb all 

over with the vinegar. 

Crush the coriander seeds 

in a mortar and pestle. Make a 

marinade by whisking together 

the crushed seeds, chopped 

rosemary, pepper, salt, and the 

zest and juice of 1 lemon. Rub 

the marinade over the lamb, then 

refrigerate overnight or stand at 

room temperature for 3-4 hours. 

Heat the oven to 200 deg C. 

Take the lamb from the marinade, 

pat dry and coat with the 

oil. Place the lamb and the 

remaining marinade in an oven 

dish to cook. After 15 minutes, 

turn, reduce the temperature to 

180 deg C and roast for 15-20 

minutes, basting the lamb occasionally 

with the pan juices. 

Remove the lamb from the 

dish, then cover with foil for up 

to 15 minutes while you make a 

sauce. 

Loosen the pan residues, then 

stir in the wine while rubbing the 

scrapings on the bottom of the 

pan so they dissolve. Let the sauce 

bubble up a little, then leave it to 

simmer gently while you slice the 

lamb. 

To serve, place the sliced lamb 

on a heated serving plate, squeeze 

the juice of the remaining lemon 

over, drizzle with sauce and decorate 

with extra sprigs of rosemary.

1 tbsp lemon juice 

½ red onion, finely chopped 

¼ cup fresh coriander, chopped 

½ cup sweet chilli sauce 

vegetable oil, for deep frying 

Directions

In term 1, the year 10 science ākonga worked hard 

on building their own mini waka. We looked at the 

principles of physics such as friction, drag and thrust 

from a te ao Māori perspective on waka usage. 

In Week 1 of term 2, we had Stephen Williams from

maintenance tips 

Check your water tanks, pipes and 

outside taps 

Consider turning off outside taps to avoid 

freezing and bursting. Covering water 

tanks and pipes is a cost-effective way of 

preventing this and reduces heat loss. 

Consider your outdoor safety 

and security 

With the evenings being darker earlier, 

frosts on outdoor steps, decks and pathways 

are a slipping hazard. 

Ensure you have adequate outdoor 

lighting, a clutter free and smooth pathway 

to your rubbish bins, woodpile, external 

garage or sleepout. 

Clean up spills immediately. Consider 

moisture-absorbent mats and handrails. 

Cut back your trees 

With the leaves already fallen, now is a 

good time to assess your trees and trim 

back any dead branches and branches 

overhanging your windows, spouting and 

roof. Check your roof for leaks, loose nails, 

and that it has a sound coating. Also look 

for moss and algae. 

Clear your gutters, drains and 

downpipes 

An accumulation of autumn leaves can 

quickly block gutters, which can lead to 

roof leaks, overflow and flooding. Consider 

protecting your gutters from birds, hail and 

leaves. 

Stagnant water may freeze resulting in 

gutters and downpipes coming loose or 

collapsing. 

Blocked drains are a potential health 

hazard, create an unpleasant odour and 

attracts bugs and small pests. 

Store your seasonal equipment 

with care 

Before you put your lawnmower and 

weedeater away for the season, run low or 

drain the petrol. Petrol goes off and come 

spring your old petrol can adversely affect 

the performance of your equipment and 

block up your filters. 

Cover outdoor furniture and secure 

items, such as trampolines, which may get 

blown around in strong winds.

Minimise your heat loss 

Insulation 

Without insulation, approx. 30-35% 

of the heat loss occurs through the roof, 

20-30% through windows, and 20-25% 

through walls. The floor and air leakage 

make up the balance. 

Drafts 

Seal up any unused openings such as cat 

doors and open fireplaces. 

Use draft stopping tape around windows 

and tape, door ‘sausages or a rolled-up 

towel for doors. 

Double glaze windows, there is a wide 

range of DIY Window insulation kits that 

are both effective and economical. 

Downlight fittings 

Some modern LED downlights have 

insulation fitted over them, instead of 

leaving a gap for fire prevention. 

Super-efficient LEDs use less energy 

and can save lighting costs. Ask a lighting 

specialist or registered electrician for 

advice. 

Simple steps to reduce dampness 

Air your home regularly 

Open doors and windows for 10-15 

minutes each morning or use a ventilation 

system. 

Use energy efficient, low 

emissions heaters 

Heat rooms being used to at least 18˚C. 

Don’t use unflued or portable gas heaters. 

Use extractor fans 

They can help to get rid of moisture in 

the bathroom and laundry and use a fan or 

rangehood in the kitchen. 

Use lids on pots when you cook 

This helps to stop the steam escaping. 

Turn on the fan before a shower 

or bath 

Shut the bathroom door and open the 

window slightly. Afterwards, leave the fan 

running until the moisture clears. 

Move furniture away from walls in 

winter 

A 10cm gap discourages mould 

(especially on external walls). 

Dry washing outside 

Use a washing line or rack in the garage 

or a under covered area. 

Leave wardrobes slightly open 

A little air circulation discourages mould 

growing on fabric. 

Customers proud to use 

recycled building products 

Exploring Musgroves’ sheds with 

their huge variety of recycled and new 

building products can be a fascinating and 

rewarding experience. 

This iconic Canterbury company has 

been recycling building materials for the 

last 50 years, and not only do they have 

an incredible range of products that are 

well organised and displayed, but, over 

that time, they have also built themselves 

a reputation for providing exceptional 

service. 

The reviews from their many customers 

(whether they be homeowners, business 

owners or tradies) repeatedly refer to the 

care and commitment of Musgroves’ longserving 

team members, who have gone 

above and beyond to assist them with their 

many and varied project needs. 

General manager Sue Brown confirms 

that Musgroves has thousands of repeat 

customers that come from all round the 

South Island (and beyond) to find treasures 

for their projects. “Whether it be to look 

for T&G flooring for their new build, a 

french door for their home renovation, a 

sliding door for their sleepout, doors and 

windows for their child’s playhouse, or 

timber beams for a business fitout, there are 

numerous reasons why people come to visit 

our yard.” 

As Sue also says, you only need to look 

at the Wall of Fame on their website to get 

a sense of the pride that their customer 

community takes in being able to reuse 

the products that Musgroves sells for their 

build or renovation projects. 

Upcycling and recycling is alive and 

well at Musgroves in Wigram and once 

you have talked to any member of the 

Musgroves’ team you will have the sense 

that sustainability is not just a current fad 

there, but rather it is in their DNA. But, 

until you have paid them a visit you won’t 

be able to fully appreciate the huge range 

of building materials that Musgroves can 

supply you with.
