SKATEBOARDERS will be
executing some nifty tricks at
the opening of Bishopdale’s
newly-upgraded skate park this
weekend with a Skate Jam offering
demonstrations, competitions, learnto-skate
lessons and a free sausage
sizzle.
The Bishopdale Skate Jam will be
held in conjunction with popular
community event Celebrate
Bishopdale, which is taking place on
the main park at the same time.
Bishopdale skate park’s two-year
revamp was supported by the
Waimāero Fendalton-Waimairi-
Harewood Community Board
with feedback and input from local
residents.
Skateboarders now have a fresh mix
of elements to choose from including
a 1.65m hipped quarter pipe with a
corner pocket, several hips with a
banked extension, a double-sided
pole jam and a mini ramp.

warned
to keep
dogs away
from algae
CYANOBACTERIA, a potentially
toxic algae, has been found in
Jellie Park’s Hewlings Stream,
Yaldhurst Bush and Springlands
Reserve, Halswell.
The algae typically presents
in rivers as dark brown or
black mats, with a slimy or
velvety texture and a musty
smell.
These mats can detach and
cause rafts in the water. In lakes,
it is often suspended in the water.
The algae can make water look
cloudy, discoloured, or like it has
small globules in it.
Animals can get very sick if
they ingest the potentially toxic
algae. Unfortunately, dogs love the
musty smell of potentially toxic
algae and are naturally drawn
to investigating it – usually by
licking or ingesting the material.
It can be quick acting and fatal to
dogs.
City council principal
waterways ecologist Dr Belinda
Margetts says the Arthur
Adcock Memorial Reserve,
Parklands, is also at risk, while
Te Mana Ora (Community and
Public Health) has issued public
health warnings for potentially
toxic algae at Pegasus Lake and
Lake Forsyth.
“This is the time of year
when we do start to see toxic
algae appearing in our
waterways.

increase a child’s relaxation while reading, they listen attentively, do not
laugh, judge or criticise, allow children to proceed at their own pace and
can be less intimidating than a child’s peers. Your child can have 15min to

New walking tracks at stormwater basin
PEOPLE WILL be able to enjoy
4km of new walking track when
the city council’s award-winning
stormwater basin in Hoon Hay
opens to the public tomorrow.
The stormwater basin is part
of a 109ha network of basins and
wetlands that the city council
has been working on in the upper
catchment of the Heathcote
River. The facility as a whole
has been named Te Kuru and
includes the Eastman Wetlands.
The city council is investing
more than $50 million in the
project and last month picked up
a national award for it.
City council
head of three
waters Helen
Beaumont said
this section of
the project is
now complete
and ready for
Helen
Beaumont
the public to
use. It has 4km
of walking track
and large areas of wetland and
native planting for people to
enjoy.
It will eventually link to
three other stormwater storage
and filtration basins that will
collectively be able to store more
than one million cubic metres
of floodwater in big rain events,
reducing the risk of flooding
downstream.
In total, the area will provide
around 14km of walking tracks,
TRAILS: Te Kuru and Eastman Wetlands have been completed and will be opened tomorrow.
cycle tracks and bridges, as well
as large swathes of native plantings.
About 110,000 trees and
600,000 native plants are going
in the ground as part of the
revegetation effort.
“Improving our floodplain
and stormwater management
was obviously the catalyst for
this project but a lot of effort has
gone into ensuring this area also
delivers long-term ecological and
recreational benefits for the city,’’
Beaumont said.
“When the stormwater basins
aren’t being used to store floodwater,
we want people to be able
to enjoy this area and for it to
be habitat for birds and other
wildlife, including lizards.
“Friday’s opening of Te Kuru is
a taste of what is in store for the
rest of this area. When the other
stormwater basins are completed,
this entire area will become a
recreational and ecological asset
for the city.”
The name Te Kuru ‘the blow
with the fist’ was recommended
to the city council by Ngāi
Tūāhuriri. Mana whenua have
historically used it to reference
the area.
PHOTO: NEWSLINE
• A public opening event
will be held at Te Kuru
tomorrow between 10.30am
and 12.30pm. The event is
an opportunity for people
to go along and learn more
about the area and the
wider project and to take a
walking tour of the site. The
best entry point to Te Kuru
is from the new car park
located at 600 Cashmere Rd.

When we decided to sell, Cameron was the logical choice to help us. From our
first discussion we knew he was the right person, a clear sales strategy and
focus gave us huge confidence.
Whilst our expectations on auction day were high, the result Cameron
achieved for us blew us away..... far beyond what we could have ever hoped.
We unreservedly recommend using Cameron to sell your property.

I want to introduce you all to the newest
member of the McMaster & Heap Family, a five
month old red Mandalay kitten who I fell about
by accident really.
He’s truly a stunner – confident, playful, so
sweet yet mischievious. He’s well and truly
firmly found his place in our home and the
other pets adore him.
Recently he got
into a little bit
of trouble, and
chewed up some
of my hair from
the shower. I
was away visiting
our son Dylan in
Houston and he
must have missed
me so much. He
started with a few
vomits, then had a
day of being back
to his sprinting pace,
gobbling up his
food and then another
major vomit directly in
front of Steve.
Steve bundled him
up and took him to
work. The joys of
having vets as parents.
Initial blood testing
and radiographs of
his abdomen were
normal, so Steve
placed him on
intravenous fluids and
gave him medication to prevent vomiting.
When he continued vomiting we asked
Richard Lucy to ultrasound his abdomen,
which proved highly suspicious for a linear
foreign body, stretching right through his
small intestines, causing the bowel to bunch
into a ball, which could have proven fatal.
Lynne our surgeon was on hand to swiftly
take the wee guy to surgery. He was a star
under anaesthetic and Steve could almost
catheterize him on his own. He was so
gentle and well behaved with needles.
Lynne removed from his small intestines a
wad of my hair and he’d also chewed part of
a kitchen scour scrubber!!! He was sutured up
and within an hour he was up walking around
, ready for his next adventure.
He’s an absolute delight but he’s going to
keep us all busy, picking up any potential
object lying around the house we think he
might grab at.

remove nitrates and other
contaminants from waterways.
The low-cost, solar
powered unit uses a collection

The water is also oxygenated
as it is returned to the
waterway.
The unit is being trialled
at the headwaters of the

Scartozzi says results
from the first five months
have been positive.

April we experienced a 50
to 95 per cent reduction of
nitrates, improved water
clarity, increased dissolved
oxygen and a decrease
in both conductivity and

Pupils make good use of new sheds
ADDINGTON TE Kura
Taumatua School pupils and
staff have been surprised with
generous gifts.
The school has received two
sheds for storing gardening
equipment and pupils’ wheels.
Teacher Lyn Petch said the
sheds from PlaceMakers could
not have arrived at a better
time.
Many students have been
riding their bikes, skateboards
and scooters around the field
since the playground makeover
was completed in May. But
it became a problem because
there was no available storage
space.
An additional 15 secondhand
skateboards, bikes and
scooters were also donated
by families to the school for
pupils who do not have their
own.
“Keeping them in the office
was not ideal, but fortunately
they fit perfectly into one of
the new sheds,” Petch said.
Gardening tools for the
school’s dedicated community
group that built the raised
garden area and its Green
Thumbs team will be stored in
the other shed.
The team consists of 15
pupils who work every Friday
lunchtime to maintain the native
and floral gardens.
At the moment, the gardens
have a wide range of vegetables
including beans, cabbage and
