City No Longer Offers Free Street Parking


By Martin Thinner
The local city council is set to introduce new parking regulations to help alleviate congestion around downtown Queenstown. “Evening
peak hours are when our streets are jammed,” said Tom Gilligan, a representative on the Queenstown City Council. “Those from out of
town come to our downtown areas to enjoy our restaurants, theaters, and concerts. Like everyone else, they prefer to avoid paid
parking areas, so they drive around looking for a convenient spot, which, in turn, causes congestion.”
“The system needs to change,” Mr. Gilligan said in response to the current parking pay system, where payment on the street is required
only from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. while there are no parking fees at night. “We’d prefer to keep up with what other cities are doing, which
require payment 24 hours a day.”
If approved, this proposal will be the second in the last few months. May saw the introduction of new parking meters, which now accept
both coins and credit cards in addition to Queenstown parking cards. The parking cards, which went on sale in June, can be obtained

Product Review
Flairs Animal Furniture’s Forest Creek Doghouse
Last week, I bought the Forest Creek Doghouse. After receiving it only two days after ordering it rather than the standard five, I was thrilled. For
further instructions, I tried but failed to contact Flairs Animal Furniture’s Customer Service Department after spending several infuriating days
trying to put it together. Eventually, I repacked the doghouse and returned it to Flairs.

Flairs described the Forest Creek Doghouse as an easy DIY kit that comes with the appropriate tools to assemble it. This was definitely not the
case. The screw fittings and markings were not properly aligned. Thus it was impossible to line up the boards perfectly. This resulted in a warped
doghouse. The tools provided with the kit were poor, and one even broke while I was using it. All four wall sides splintered as I was trying to
connect the roof piece. In the end, Flairs refused to supply me with free replacements for the doghouse and tools.

Unsurprisingly, this will be the last item I buy from Flairs Animal Furniture range of wooden goods. I also highly recommend that you first check
with Flairs before you buy any product to see if the company will replace any parts damaged during assembly.
