say on<br />
Fendalton<br />
traffic<br />
measures<br />
PLANS TO make sections of busy<br />
Fendalton roads safer for all road<br />
users are out for public feedback.<br />
The proposal to upgrade<br />
sections of Glandovey Rd and<br />
Idris Rd between Fendalton Rd<br />
includes installing new pedestrian<br />
refuge islands, speed cushions,<br />
cycle lanes, and kerb build-outs.<br />
City council transport planning<br />
and delivery manager Jacob<br />
Bradbury said the project aims to<br />
address safety concerns brought<br />
to the city council’s attention<br />
by the Glandovey Idris Strowan<br />
Residents’ Association.<br />
Pedestrian refuge islands are<br />
proposed for three locations<br />
on Glandovey Rd, and two on<br />
Idris Rd to make it easier for<br />
pedestrians to cross the roads.<br />
Under the plan, speed cushions<br />
will be installed to slow vehicles<br />
before the crossing points.<br />
“Speed cushions are good for<br />
this area, as they force ordinary<br />
vehicles to slow down to go over<br />
them, while heavy vehicles such<br />
as buses, fire engines and<br />
ambulances are typically wide<br />
enough to straddle them,”<br />
Bradbury said.<br />
“This minimises the noise and<br />
vibration issues that sometimes<br />
occurs from these types of<br />
vehicles travelling over traffic<br />
slowing features.”<br />

Getting fit<br />
with dogs<br />
a passion<br />
project<br />
• By Briar Allen<br />
A PASSION for pups and<br />
running has led to a new<br />
business project in the<br />
Merivale area.<br />
Chloe Donald, 12,<br />
has taken two of her<br />
interests to create a dog<br />
running programme<br />
to help keep dogs fit<br />
while working off their<br />
energy.<br />
Chloe said it is a<br />
part of her ‘passion<br />
project’ at Selwyn<br />
House School,<br />
which they have<br />
been working on<br />
since term two.<br />
“We list our<br />
passions and<br />
from there we<br />
pick our top<br />
three and<br />
come up with business ideas<br />
and I chose running dogs,”<br />
she said.<br />
She said the programme<br />
aims to run dogs whose<br />
owners may be too busy to be<br />
able to do it themselves – and<br />
the dogs may be stuck inside<br />
all day due to the owners<br />
being at work.<br />
“If you’re really busy during<br />
the day and your dog is<br />
cramped in, I can take your<br />
dog and run with it to get rid<br />
of all its energy.”<br />
Chloe is a competitive<br />
runner. She finished third in<br />
the 800m and fourth in the<br />
1500m at the South Island<br />
Colgate Games in Timaru in<br />
January.<br />
“I like dogs and I am a<br />
confident runner; I am<br />
looking forward to running<br />
heaps of dogs.”<br />

Toy library to find new home<br />
• By Briar Allen<br />
THE SALE of the building it<br />
resides in was not the early<br />
birthday present the Papanui Toy<br />
Library had in mind.<br />
The library will celebrate its<br />
30th birthday next month and is<br />
now on the hunt for a new place<br />
to call home.<br />
Library supervisor Natalie<br />
Sisson who has been with the<br />
library for about 10 years said it<br />
has been based in a garage for<br />
the past six years, which is damp<br />
and the insulation is not great.<br />
“It is pretty miserable in winter<br />
but good in the summer. We are<br />
looking for a space that is 60-80<br />
square metres,” she said.<br />
Sisson said a nice, warm<br />
classroom would be ideal<br />
with a car park which can<br />
fit at least 10 cars at a time.<br />
“As well as being under<br />
$10,000 a year, which is<br />
the big problem. We are a<br />
not-for-profit group, we get<br />
funds through grants and<br />
our own fundraisers and we<br />
have just under 1000 toys<br />
all boxed and bagged that<br />
need to be stored.”<br />
She said the library has been<br />
told by the landlord nothing is<br />
going to happen in the next nine<br />
months.<br />
“But there are already people<br />
looking, it is very stressful.<br />
“It would be nice to be moved<br />
by the end of the year at the<br />
latest.”<br />
The toy library currently<br />
provides 67 members with the<br />
option of loaning out up to<br />
eight toys at a time for up to two<br />
weeks.<br />
“People pay a membership<br />
FAREWELL: The Papanui Toy Library’s<br />
current premises on Cavendish Rd.<br />
fee, with the duty<br />
membership being<br />
slightly cheaper as<br />
people are required<br />
to come volunteer<br />
occasionally.<br />
“We currently<br />
have 41 duty memberships and<br />
26 non-duty memberships. You<br />
tend to lose memberships when<br />
you move and it can take a while<br />
to build it back up,” she said.<br />
Sisson said the library is<br />
sustainable and good for<br />
low-income households, as it<br />
saves people so much money.<br />
“It makes a huge difference<br />
to those who cannot afford<br />
new toys every time, we<br />
have grandparents who have<br />
grandchildren who visit from<br />
overseas, members get to<br />
know each other, it is a real<br />
community orientated place.”<br />

In Brief<br />
RESIDENTS ASKED TO<br />
REPORT POTHOLES<br />
Innes Ward city councillor<br />
Pauline Cotter is encouraging<br />
people to use the Snap Send<br />
Solve app to report potholes<br />
or footpath damage. Cotter<br />
said she has noticed potholes<br />
re-emerging after rain has<br />
fallen and damaged roads and<br />
footpaths appearing around<br />
housing construction sites.<br />
Reporting the damage helps the<br />
city council stay on top of the<br />
repairs, she said.<br />

Chloe said she spent term two<br />
researching; now in term three<br />
she is in the creating stage, and<br />
in term four she will present the<br />
outcome of her business.<br />
“I would be happy to continue<br />
going on with the programme<br />
if it goes well. The project really<br />
helps you find out what you are<br />
passionate about and what you<br />
might want to do as a career.”<br />
She said one of the challenges<br />
she has faced so far was figuring<br />
out how to advertise her<br />
programme to the area.<br />
“My mum is an advertiser and<br />
I talked to one of her co-workers<br />
which was quite helpful, she<br />
talked to me about the best way to<br />
advertise, who my target audience<br />
is. I ended up doing a letterbox<br />
drop of my flyers. I have really<br />
enjoyed advertising and creating<br />
the flyer.”<br />
Chloe will be charging $10 for<br />
half an hour and $<strong>17</strong> for an hour<br />
with a portion of the proceeds<br />
being donated to the SPCA. She<br />
can be contacted through her<br />

PLANS TO upgrade a section<br />
of Innes Rd have been approved<br />
by the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-<br />
Central Community Board.<br />
The renewal project will get<br />
underway in December between<br />
Mersey St and the shops past<br />
Philpotts Rd.<br />
Improvements include<br />
upgrading the carriageway and<br />
sections of kerbs and footpaths,<br />
making it safer for people<br />
travelling to school, work or<br />
across the community.<br />
Raised platforms will be<br />
installed at existing zebra<br />
crossings at Mairehau Primary<br />
School and St Francis of Assisi<br />
School, improving safety and<br />
accessibility by slowing down<br />
vehicles at crossing points.<br />
Additionally, kerb build-outs<br />
will be introduced at Ethne St,<br />
Nancy Ave and Kensington Ave<br />
intersections.<br />
A central island will be<br />
installed at the Thames St<br />
intersection and the existing<br />
central island at Philpotts St will<br />
be replaced.<br />
Community board chair<br />
Emma Norrish said with<br />
two schools in the area, it is<br />
important for children to safely<br />
travel within the area.<br />
“Innes Rd is a busy route with<br />
around 15,000 vehicles travelling<br />
along the stretch each day.<br />
These improvements provide<br />
the opportunity to address a<br />
lot of safety concerns for the<br />
PHOTO: NEWSLINE<br />
Upgrade for Innes Rd looms<br />
community, and we’re excited for<br />
the upgrades to be installed,” she<br />
said.<br />
Stop control signs will also<br />
be introduced at Thames St,<br />
Philpotts Rd, Nancy Ave and<br />
Ethne St to improve drivers’<br />
visibility of pedestrians and<br />
cyclists when approaching.<br />
Further upgrades include<br />
introducing parking restrictions<br />
to accommodate the side road<br />
safety improvements, to allow<br />
buses to enter and exit existing<br />
stops safely and to improve<br />
sightlines at side streets.<br />
Some footpaths will be<br />
widened as part of the renewal,<br />
making it safer for pedestrians.<br />

THE UNCHLORINATED water<br />
fill station at Burnside Park will<br />
be permanently closed to comply<br />
with drinking water laws.<br />
On May 9, Government water<br />
regulator Taumata Arowai<br />
advised it intended to decline<br />
the city council’s first chlorine<br />
exemption applications.<br />
Chlorine has since been<br />
introduced to all water supply<br />
zones in Christchurch and<br />
Banks Peninsula. This is a<br />
necessary step to comply with<br />
the Water Services Act and the<br />
associated rules and standards<br />
for community water supplies.<br />
Taumata Arowai has now<br />
confirmed that the requirement<br />
to chlorinate extends to the city<br />
council’s unchlorinated water fill<br />
stations.<br />
Head of Three Waters Brent<br />
Smith said the city council has<br />
a responsibility to comply with<br />
Government legislation.<br />
“We know this will be<br />
disappointing for some people,<br />
but we have no choice in the<br />
matter – we must comply with<br />
the law – so the stations will<br />
be permanently closed in the<br />
coming days.<br />
“Making sure Christchurch<br />
and Banks Peninsula residents<br />
have access to safe and reliable<br />
drinking water is our number<br />
PHOTO: NEWSLINE<br />
one priority.<br />
“Chlorine has been used<br />
safely all around the world<br />
for about 120 years. It keeps<br />
millions of people all over the<br />
globe – including in most of New<br />
Zealand – safe from waterborne<br />
illness.<br />
“If you are concerned about the<br />
taste of chlorine, you can keep<br />
drinking water in an open jug<br />
in the fridge. The chlorine taste<br />
will dissipate naturally over a few<br />
hours,” Smith said.<br />
Chlorine and any associated<br />
by-products can be removed by<br />
using a granulated, activated<br />
carbon (GAC) filter. These are<br />
available from hardware supply<br />
stores and water filter companies.<br />
The city council recently<br />
provided feedback on the<br />
Taumata Arowai draft exemption<br />
decisions.<br />
“In late June we sent Taumata<br />
Arowai feedback on the draft<br />
exemption decisions. They will<br />
now consider our feedback before<br />
issuing a final decision.<br />
“We not expecting the final<br />
decision to change due to the<br />
nature of feedback received in<br />
the drafts,” Smith said.<br />
The fill station at New Brighton<br />
will also close.<br />

Lifestyle leads to world champs<br />
• By Jaime Cunningham<br />
FOR BROOKE Bennett,<br />
swimming has always been a<br />
lifestyle.<br />
Before she started to swim<br />
competitively, Bennett can<br />
remember going down to the<br />
pool often with her family<br />
members.<br />
“It’s always been in the family.<br />
“My nana used to always<br />
take me down to the pool, but<br />
I mainly got into it because<br />
my sister used to swim<br />
competitively,” she said.<br />
Just six years after starting<br />
to swim competitively, the<br />
year 12 student at Villa Maria<br />
College is off to the junior world<br />
championships in Israel next<br />
month.<br />
She managed to reach what<br />
Swimming New Zealand calls<br />
a “silver” time in the 1500m<br />
freestyle event at the national<br />
age group championships in<br />
April to qualify for next month’s<br />
meet.<br />
The 16-year-old is the only<br />
South Island-based swimmer<br />
selected in the seven-strong<br />
team, and is “really excited” to<br />
represent New Zealand for the<br />
first time.<br />
“I really want to do well in my<br />
swims, and hopefully get some<br />
personal bests – but mainly I<br />
just want to enjoy the<br />
ENDURANCE: Brooke Bennett specialises in long-course freestyle events. <br />
experience,” the Vikings<br />
swimmer said.<br />
Bennett will race in the<br />
200m, 800m and 1500m freestyle<br />
events at the six-day meet.<br />
She goes into the meet<br />
following a successful<br />
New Zealand short course<br />
championships in Hastings<br />
last week where Bennett claimed<br />
gold in the 16 years<br />
200m, 400m and 1500m<br />
freestyle.<br />
Although Bennett’s specialist<br />
races are the longer-course<br />
freestyle events, she admits<br />
she “likes to do some<br />
breaststroke every now and<br />
then.”<br />
The junior team will travel to<br />
Dubai on Sunday for a two-week<br />
camp before the meet begins on<br />
September 4.<br />
It will be Bennett’s first time<br />
travelling further than Australia<br />
to compete, as well as the<br />
biggest meet she has ever<br />
competed in.<br />
Bennett will also represent<br />
New Zealand in the Queensland<br />
State Championships in<br />
December before heading to<br />
Sydney for the New South<br />
Wales open water<br />
championships.<br />
Although Bennett wants<br />
to wear the fern again after<br />
this year, she is focused on her<br />
short-term goals rather than<br />
the pinnacle events like the<br />
Commonwealth or<br />
Olympic Games.<br />
“I mean it’s definitely a<br />
possibility, but I don’t want to<br />
put that pressure on me. I just try<br />
to be my best.<br />
“And if that means I go to<br />
the Commonwealth Games or<br />
Olympics, that’s how it is.”<br />
SUCCESS: Brooke Bennett<br />
claimed three gold medals<br />
at the New Zealand short<br />
course championships in<br />
Hastings last week.<br />

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

New Zealand.<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 />
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 />

Electric Ford Mustang worthy of the badge<br />
THE MACH-E is a truly<br />
transformational EV that’s<br />
sending Ford’s iconic Mustang<br />
charging into an exciting, fully<br />
electrified future.<br />
This is the first production<br />
Ford developed from the<br />
ground-up to deliver pureelectric,<br />
zero-emission driving.<br />
There’s a choice of single-motor<br />
rear-wheel drive and dual-motor<br />
all-wheel drive performance. In<br />
GT AWD form it has a claimed<br />
0-100km/h-sprint time of just 3.7<br />
seconds.<br />
The Mach-E is instantly recognisable<br />
as a Mustang with signature<br />
elements such as its long,<br />
sculptured bonnet, rear-haunch<br />
design, aggressive headlights and<br />
trademark tri-bar tail lamps.<br />
Three models are sold here,<br />
starting with a 198kw rear wheel<br />
drive priced at $79,990, allowing<br />
it to sneak with the skinniest of<br />
Motoring with Bob Nettleton<br />
margins under the $80k threshold<br />
for the Government’s $7015<br />
clean car rebate for full electric<br />
vehicles. From there, it’s a sizeable<br />
step up to the 258kw AWD<br />
retailing for $109,990 and the<br />
subject of this review.<br />
Those wanting even more<br />
hyper-amped performance get<br />
it in spades with the 358kw GT<br />
AWD. All this performance<br />
aggression comes at a cost with<br />
a real world, all-electric driving<br />
range of 490km, compared to the<br />
550km for our test drive vehicle.<br />
The entry-level rear wheel drive<br />
has a respectable all-electric<br />
driving range of 440km.<br />
The 258kw of power produced<br />
by the test vehicle is plenty for<br />
delivering an ultra smooth and<br />
responsive drive that will win<br />
this car plenty of fans.<br />
Driving aggressively – which is<br />
tempting given the exhilarating<br />
Incorporating<br />
best motorbuys<br />
www.drivesouth.co.nz<br />
performance at your disposal – is<br />
a sure-fire way to burn off a lot<br />
of battery quickly. Making smart<br />
use of the 1 pedal system goes<br />
some way toward replenishing<br />
the battery.<br />
Practicality is one area<br />
where the Mach-E trounces its<br />
traditional two-door Mustang<br />
siblings. Ford engineers and<br />
designers have in a master stroke<br />
created a vehicle that’s not only<br />
true to the Mustang brand, but<br />
offers plenty of space for five passengers<br />
and their luggage.<br />
There’s a generous 402 litres of<br />
load area behind the rear seats.<br />
A front trunk storage unit made<br />
possible by the absence of a<br />
conventional petrol engine under<br />
the bonnet offers an additional<br />
81 litres of storage space.<br />
On board is a host of advanced<br />
driver assistance technologies to<br />
keep you safe. Heading an exhaustive<br />
list is Intelligent Adaptive<br />
Cruise Control with Stop<br />
& Go and Lane Centring. This<br />
keeps you a comfortable distance<br />
from traffic ahead and helps keep<br />
the vehicle centred in its lane.<br />
Park Assist takes the guesswork<br />
out of parking by automatically<br />
manoeuvring the vehicle into<br />
parallel parking spaces.<br />
There’s also Pre-Collision Assist<br />
with Auto Emergency Braking<br />
and a Lane-Keeping System<br />
with Blind Spot Assist.<br />
The All-wheel drive system<br />
applies torque independently<br />
to the front and rear wheels<br />
for improved acceleration and<br />
handling. Unique shock absorbers,<br />
springs and anti-roll bars<br />
settings are tuned to take charge<br />
on our plethora of twisty undulating<br />
roads, and they do the job<br />
with aplomb.<br />
There’s a nice balance between<br />
ride comfort and handling,<br />
although the ride may be a bit<br />
firm for some tastes in low speed<br />
urban driving. Nicely weighted<br />
steering with a decent measure<br />
of road feel make a good driving<br />
vehicle great.<br />
Poised and polished road<br />
holding makes the Mach-E a<br />
worthy bearer of the legendary<br />
Mustang badge.<br />

Public Notice<br />
Casebrook Intermediate<br />
School Enrolment 2024<br />
The Board invites applications from parents who wish to enrol their<br />
children at Casebrook Intermediate School for 2024.<br />
Enrolments can be made through the school website. www.casebrook.school.nz<br />
The deadline for receipt of applications for out-of-zone places is 31st <strong>August</strong> <strong>2023</strong>.<br />
Parents of students who live within the home zone should also apply by this date to<br />
assist the school to plan appropriately for next year.<br />
Because the board operates an enrolment scheme, it is required to fill any<br />
vacant out-of-zone places by ballot in cases where there are more<br />
applications for enrolment than there are places available.<br />
The board has determined that 90 places are likely to be available to<br />
out-of-zone students for 2024<br />
