The Star Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Thursday May 3 2018 15 News Fountain easy target for vandals The week so far . . . • By Bridget Rutherford RICCARTON’S Shands Fountain is proving an easy target for vandals, with six foam attacks recorded in the past year. The city council has had to spend $1680 to drain, clean and refill the Shand Crescent Reserve fountain, known as the “bubble fountain,” six times. It and the historic Bowker Fountain were the only two city council owned fountains to have had “substances” put into them since January 2017. A city council spokeswoman said although it was not possible to identify the substance put into Shands Fountain every time, soap powder was the recent culprit. “Each time the cost is $280 to drain, clean and refill.” She said fountains should not be tampered with, as it was a waste of money and resources for staff to fix the damage, or clean it. “The environment nearby could also become contaminated.” The historic illuminated Bowker Fountain in Victoria Square has also been the victim of two foam attacks since it was restored and turned back on last month. VANDALISM: Shands Fountain in Riccarton has been the victim of the most foam attacks in the last year, followed by the newly-restored Bowker Fountain. While the fountain is owned by the city council, it is currently being maintained by Otakaro Ltd, which restored the square. Laundry powder was the culprit the first time, but it was not known what was the cause of the second. An anti-foaming solution was added to the water, so no repairs were needed. •Repeat drinkdriving mum Melanie Susan Trebilco has been disqualified from driving indefinitely – but can keep her car. The 40-yearold has been placed on supervision for 15 months after admitting her second breath-alcohol charge. Police had sought to confiscate her Honda Fit, which she was driving on the day she was breath-tested at Rolleston with a level of 871mcg/l. The legal limit is 250mcg/l. She has a previous conviction for drink-driving from 2016 when she was caught with her two children, then aged three and nine, in the backseat at a time when she had a reading of 1157mcg/l. She was allowed to keep the car because of the hardship its loss would cause to her daughter. •Police say the South City Shopping Centre’s Colombo St car park is the worst pre-loading spot in the central city and the place where they dish out the most fines for liquor ban breaches. •Selwyn ratepayers could be pulled into bearing the cost of Christchurch’s planned sports and events arena. The Selwyn District Council has suggested a targeted rate, collected by Environment Canterbury, could be used to help fund the new stadium. In a submission on the city council’s Long Term Plan, district council staff said it could be collected in a similar way rates are levied for the Canterbury Museum. “[W]here the rate paid by each territorial authorities rateable units are discounted based on distance from Christchurch,” said the submission.
