Heritage church in Belfast<br />
restored to former glory<br />
AFTER SEVERAL years of<br />
planning and fundraising, St<br />
David’s Anglican Church has now<br />
been restored to its former glory.<br />
Refurbishment on the Belfast<br />
church started in January this year<br />
in a bid to preserve its rich history<br />
for future generations to come.<br />
The original structure was built<br />
in 1855 as a memorial to the pioneer<br />
settlers of Belfast before a new<br />
building was replaced on the same<br />
site in 1903.<br />
Since then, it has been used for<br />
more than a century which was<br />
why it was in dire need of a refurbishment.<br />
Said vicar Joanne Latham: “It’s<br />
wonderful to have St David’s refurbished<br />
and ready for the next 100<br />
years. It’s a lovely place for regular<br />
and special services, weddings, and<br />
a place to farewell loved ones from.”<br />
Designed by notable architect<br />
Samuel Hurst Seager, the church<br />
has a category 2 heritage listing<br />
which is given to places of “historical<br />
or cultural significance or<br />
value.”<br />
The Northwest Christchurch<br />
Anglican Parish recognised the<br />
need to retain the spiritual, historical<br />
and architectural significance<br />
of the church and to preserve it for<br />
future generations.<br />

Toy dogs comfort children in hospital<br />
FOR HENNY van Veen,<br />
knitting toy dogs is a labour of<br />
love that has been bringing joy<br />
and calm to children having<br />
ultrasounds at Christchurch<br />
Hospital.<br />
Knitted by the radiographic<br />
assistant, the toys are given<br />
to some of the hospital’s child<br />
patients, aged between four and<br />
10, to help them overcome their<br />
fears.<br />
For some children, an ultrasound<br />
is a traumatic experience<br />
and receiving a cuddly toy at the<br />
end of it makes it a bit better, van<br />
Veen said.<br />
“We only get happy faces<br />
if we give them a dog or one<br />
of the little knitted teddies<br />
from chaplaincy service,” she<br />
said.<br />
Van Veen was inspired to start<br />
knitting about 18 months ago<br />
after seeing the small teddies<br />
around the hospital.<br />
“I have never done it before<br />
in my life and learned how by<br />
watching YouTube.”<br />
She usually knits in the evening<br />
while listening to music or<br />
watching television, “just to keep<br />
my hands busy.”<br />
It takes her four weeks to finish<br />
a dog, as she only knits for<br />
about an hour a day.<br />
“And a lot of dogs are not to<br />

Extensive<br />
refurbishment<br />
carried out<br />
•From page 1<br />
In 2014, a team was formed to<br />
look at all aspects of the church. A<br />
profile document was put together<br />
along with a refurbishment plan<br />
which included a detailed scope<br />
of works.<br />
The project was made possible<br />
by a Heritage Incentive Grant<br />
from the city council, a Lotteries<br />
Environment and Heritage Committee<br />
grant, along with fundraising<br />
by the church.<br />
Parishioner Anne McMaster,<br />
who has managed the project, was<br />
“thrilled” that the parish and the<br />
community can now enjoy better<br />
facilities.<br />
The refurbishment work<br />
included extensive carpentry repairs,<br />
repainting the exterior, refurbishment<br />
of the interior timber<br />
work, remedial work to the bell<br />
tower, replacement of damaged<br />
windows, rewiring of the church,<br />
new heaters, lighting, altar rails<br />
and carpet.<br />
As part of Heritage Week, St<br />
David’s Anglican Church will be<br />
open to the public this Sunday<br />
from 10.30am to 4.30pm. A short<br />
dedication service to thank all<br />
those who contributed to the<br />
refurbishment will be held at<br />

Petition demands action over palm tree<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
A PETITION demanding the<br />
city council take action over a<br />
potentially hazardous palm tree<br />
in Shirley has garnered more<br />
than 1<strong>05</strong> signatures.<br />
Residents Jo Dickson and<br />
Maurice Grant submitted the<br />
petition to the city council over<br />
their inaction to fix the broken<br />
planter box the tree sits in for the<br />
last six years.<br />
The box, at the Palm Drive and<br />
Laguna Gardens intersection,<br />
has cracks along the side of it.<br />
Residents are concerned that<br />
the tree could fall onto nearby<br />
pedestrians and cars at any moment.<br />
But city council city streets<br />
maintenance manager Mark<br />
Pinner said the stability of the<br />
tree was currently of no concern<br />
as it did not present any immediate<br />
danger to road users.<br />
Dickson was told by the city<br />
council that funding had been<br />
set aside to fix the box in 2015,<br />
but she said no work has been<br />
done since.<br />
“It’s just frustrating. A lot<br />
of people have said if we were<br />
on the other side of town, it<br />
probably would’ve been fixed<br />
already,” she said.<br />
“It’s been put in the too-hard<br />
basket. The palm tree is in good<br />
condition, and they [council] say<br />
it was the roots that caused it.”<br />
Last year the Papanui-Innes<br />
Community Board requested<br />
council staff to consider a range<br />
of options, such its removal,<br />
repair or replacement.<br />
However, the city council<br />
decided to defer the decision on<br />
the tree’s future to the urban<br />
development and transport committee<br />
due to the costs involved.<br />
Residents said they did not<br />
want the tree removed, or for<br />
it to be placed directly into the<br />
ground instead, like others in the<br />
area. But council staff said this<br />
would compromise the structural<br />
integrity of the tree.<br />
Dickson feared the city council<br />
would delay work for another six<br />
to eight years, which was why<br />
INACTION: Clearbrook<br />
Palms residents Jo<br />
Dickson and Maurice<br />
Grant started a<br />
petition in a bid to get<br />
the city council to fix a<br />
potentially dangerous<br />
palm tree, which has<br />
been delayed for six<br />
years.<br />

SLOAN <br />
she started the petition in order<br />
for them to take action within<br />
the next few months.<br />
Said Pinner: “As this feature is<br />
unique to this location, council<br />
were informed of the costs<br />
which are between $20,000 and<br />
$40,000.<br />
“An arborist inspected the tree<br />
and was judged to be in good<br />
health. The planter box walls<br />
are relatively low, and in a few<br />
cases, rotated slightly due to root<br />
growth.”<br />
Dickson will be speaking more<br />
about the issue at the Urban<br />
Development and Transport<br />
Committee’s meeting next<br />
Wednesday.<br />
We have dealt with Cameron Bailey for years because he has an<br />
excellent understanding of<br />
the housing market<br />
and his knowledge and expertise is second to none.<br />

CELEBRATION:<br />
Northcote School’s<br />
new cycle track,<br />
which is available<br />
for the wider<br />
community to<br />
use, has now been<br />
completed. <br />
Cycle track good to go<br />
SCHOOL CHILDREN and the<br />
wider community in Redwood<br />
can now enjoy the benefits of<br />
having a new cycle track in the<br />
area.<br />
A new asphalt track for<br />
cyclists has been built at Northcote<br />
School which is available<br />
for use by the public and pupils<br />
alike.<br />
The track was built as part<br />
of the school’s Bikes in Schools<br />
project to encourage more<br />
children to use their bicycles<br />
when travelling to and from<br />
school.<br />
The $90,000 project included<br />
the cost of the track’s construction,<br />
the purchase of more than<br />
50 bicycles for pupils to use,<br />
quality helmets, bike storage<br />
and cycling classes.<br />
Principal Justin Perriam saw<br />
the track as a “great asset” for<br />
the school and was thankful<br />
that funding from the Papanui-<br />
Innes Community Board, the<br />
Rata Foundation, and through<br />
fundraisers helped get the project<br />
on the road.<br />
He said the school had an<br />
“open-door policy,” which was<br />
why it was important to provide<br />
another resource for the community<br />
to use as many groups<br />
accessed the school after hours<br />
and in the weekends.<br />
“With fewer and fewer children<br />
owning bikes, we recognise<br />
that it is important to provide<br />
opportunities for students to<br />
develop road sense skills, as well<br />
as engage students in physical<br />
activity,” he said.<br />
“Students have said that they<br />
enjoy having a track to walk<br />
around when the grass is wet,<br />
and they like being able to ride<br />
their bike or scooter around the<br />
track.”<br />
The school was able to<br />
fundraise more than $50,000<br />
towards the project. They also<br />
received $40,000 from the New<br />
Zealand Transport Agency, and<br />
$8000 from the community<br />
board.<br />
They were also gifted a number<br />
of helmets from the Bike On<br />
New Zealand Charitable Trust.<br />
Plan to<br />
boost civic<br />
engagement<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
THE Papanui-Innes Community<br />
Board is taking steps to tackle<br />
a lack of civic education and<br />
participation among the wider<br />
community.<br />
The community board plans to<br />
allocate $2000 towards transport<br />
costs for school children attending<br />
the Ōtautahi, Our City -Tō tātou<br />
taone programme at the city council’s<br />
Civic Offices on Hereford St.<br />
The programme enables students<br />
from years 7 to 13 to meet with<br />
staff and gain an understanding of<br />
what the city council does, its processes,<br />
and why their voices count.<br />
One of the community board’s<br />
objectives in their <strong>2020</strong>-2022 plan<br />
was to encourage civic participation<br />
to ensure all residents’ voices<br />
were included when making decisions.<br />
Said community board<br />
chairwoman Emma Norrish:<br />
“There is a lack of knowledge on<br />
how people can get involved; it’s<br />
something us as elected members<br />
are well aware of.<br />
“It’s important that people learn<br />
how they can make a difference.<br />
This programme will also<br />
hopefully expand knowledge about<br />
careers available through local<br />
government.”<br />

SCARY: Children and parents getting amongst the Halloween scavenger<br />
hunt at St James Park. <br />
Spooky and fun for all<br />
PAPANUI TURNED spooky this<br />
Halloween as hundreds of costume-clad<br />
children took part in the festivities.<br />
Hosted by Ray White Papanui and the<br />
Rotary Club of Papanui, more than 400<br />
children and parents filed into St James<br />
Park for an afternoon filled with scavenger<br />
hunts and sweet treats.<br />
The Halloween extravaganza is in its<br />
second year running and will continue to<br />
be held annually.<br />
It was a chance for the community to<br />
celebrate Halloween together in a safe and<br />
fun environment.<br />
Vanessa Golightly, of Ray White, said<br />
those on the day said it was “amazing” to<br />
have an event like this, where parents did<br />
not need to take children door knocking<br />
for trick or treating.<br />
It also meant parents were able to get<br />
to know other families in the neighbourhood.<br />

Camping with a charitable purpose<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
FAMILIES WANTING to try<br />
camping for the first time can<br />
now do so while giving back to<br />
the community.<br />
Groups can learn how to<br />
pitch a tent or see whether they<br />
have everything needed for the<br />
upcoming camping season for<br />
summer at North South Holiday<br />
Park, Harewood.<br />
The park will be donating $5<br />
per adult who<br />
stay overnight<br />
to the<br />
Christchurch<br />
City Mission.<br />
All proceeds<br />
from groups<br />
only pitching<br />
a tent for the<br />
day will also<br />
be donated to<br />
the charity. Dan Fraser<br />
They will<br />
also match any canned food<br />
donated for the mission.<br />
Owner Dan Fraser said camping<br />
with kids can sometimes be<br />
challenging, so by practising and<br />
giving it a go, it ensured the next<br />
big trip was stress-free.<br />
“Camping isn’t for everyone,<br />
so this gives them a budgetfriendly<br />
option to try camping<br />
before going on a big, two-weeklong<br />
trip,” he said.<br />
GIVING BACK: North South Holiday Park is offering a charitable camping experience<br />
for those wanting to try the activity out for the first time.<br />
“It’s not just people travelling<br />
from outside of Christchurch, it’s<br />
actually locals who want to get<br />
away for the weekend too.<br />
“It’s also a good incentive to<br />
encourage people to come out<br />
and give back.”<br />
Staff on-site will also be on<br />
hand to give their expert camping<br />
tips to those unsure about<br />
where to start, including campervan<br />
advice.<br />
The Pitch Perfect initiative<br />
started last year and now comes<br />
at a time when New Zealanders<br />
have been exploring their backyards<br />
following Covid-19 travel<br />
restrictions.<br />
Because of this, he expected<br />
a busy season during the upcoming<br />
summer but had some<br />
concerns about a lack of international<br />
visitors in the foreseeable<br />
future.<br />
“I’m feeling highly optimistic<br />
that it’ll be a busy summer, but<br />
the test will be about February or<br />
March next year when we usually<br />
have international visitors.”<br />
Fraser started the initiative not<br />
only to encourage people<br />
to try something new, but<br />
because he has always had an<br />
interest in supporting the local<br />
community.<br />
Last year, the park raised more<br />
than $500 which was donated to<br />
non-profit organisation Sands<br />
NZ, which support parents and<br />
families who have experienced<br />
the death of a baby.<br />
Now more than ever he encouraged<br />
others to get amongst<br />
an “old Kiwi pastime.”<br />
The City Mission was chosen<br />
this year due to the hardships<br />
Cantabrians have faced in the<br />
wake of Covid-19.<br />
The charity became overwhelmed<br />
due to a higher demand<br />
for food assistance caused<br />
by the pandemic.<br />
Said Fraser: “We see what’s<br />
happening around the world<br />
with the pandemic, lots of people<br />
are out there struggling, whether<br />
they’ve lost their jobs or homes.<br />
“We felt like we can do our<br />
part and make a difference, even<br />
if it’s small.”<br />

City council’s outdoor<br />
pools set to open<br />
OUTDOOR POOLS will<br />
open on <strong>November</strong> 14,<br />
welcoming thousands<br />
of water lovers over the<br />
summer.<br />
All five of the city<br />
council’s summer facilities<br />
– Norman Kirk Memorial<br />
in Lyttelton, Templeton, Te<br />
Hāpua Halswell, Waltham<br />
and Jellie Park in Burnside<br />
– are primed for the<br />
seasonal rush, with plans<br />
for pool parties and fun<br />
activities.<br />
Young children will also<br />
be able to make a splash,<br />
with the city council’s paddling<br />
pools opening on the<br />
same day.<br />
City council head of recreation,<br />
sport and events<br />
Nigel Cox said many Kiwis<br />
have a “lifelong connection<br />
with their local pool.”<br />
“For many, there is a real<br />
thrill in taking their first<br />
dip of the season – even if<br />
there is a bit of early chill<br />
in the air,” he said.<br />
“However, nothing really<br />
beats an open-air pool on a<br />
hot day in Christchurch.<br />
“We encourage everyone<br />
to check the hours, look<br />
out for our popular party<br />

Cox said that Templeton<br />

basis – with an $80<br />
season pass – and members<br />

“It will be brilliant to<br />
have all the outdoor pools<br />

Performing arts with a spotlight on mental health<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
A PAPANUI dance studio is<br />
banding together with dance<br />
studios and performing arts<br />
centres across the city in a bid to<br />
break stigmas on mental health.<br />
The 03’ Collective, by Zion<br />
Dance Studios, Papanui, is a<br />
mental health performing arts<br />
showcase in collaboration with<br />
Swarm Studios, The Compound<br />
Studio, Levings School of Dance,<br />
Anna-Lee School of Dance, Canterbury<br />
Ballet, Common Ground<br />
and Nathan Phillips Vocals.<br />
Taking place next month in<br />
The Aurora Centre at Burnside<br />
High School, more than 150<br />
performers will take centre stage<br />
for hip-hop, contemporary, break<br />
dancing, vocals and spoken<br />
word.<br />
Zion Studios dance and youth<br />
development co-ordinator<br />
Bronté Te Mete said the<br />
showcase was an opportunity<br />
for artists to use their talents<br />
to address “a big issue in our<br />
society.”<br />
“With so many things being<br />
cancelled, postponed and shutdown,<br />
I decided to flip the script<br />
and take it as an opportunity to<br />
dive into something new,” she<br />
said.<br />
“Twenty twenty has been a<br />
year of uncertainty, a year of<br />
fear, change, self-discovery and<br />
BREAKING STIGMA: Performers at Zion Dance Studios are teaming up with performing<br />
arts and dance studios across the city to shine a light on mental health. <br />
growth. What a perfect opportunity<br />
to come together and showcase<br />
our thoughts, challenges,<br />
and achievements.”<br />
Te Mete said it also offered an<br />
opportunity for the dance and<br />
performing arts community to<br />
give back.<br />
All profits from the show<br />
will be donated to Youthline in<br />
Christchurch, and to another<br />
mental health organisation once<br />
it was decided on.<br />
The 03’ Collective was an idea<br />
brought to life during a year that<br />
“turned the world upside down.”<br />
Te Mete said the theme was<br />
inspired by this year’s events,<br />
where there has been a push to<br />
look out for your mental wellbeing<br />
– something that could be<br />
communicated through the art<br />
forms.<br />
“Performing art is something<br />
creative and positive that we<br />
can use to express ourselves. So<br />
much can be portrayed through<br />
movement, words and lyrics,”<br />
she said.<br />
“We aim to share our own<br />
personal experiences to inspire<br />
others to do the same, to show<br />
people that they’re not alone and<br />
to create a space where vulnerability<br />
is welcomed.”<br />
Putting a spotlight on the issue<br />
was important for members at<br />
the studio as mental health issues<br />
were too often “ignored” or<br />
“silenced.”<br />
Said Te Mete: “We want to<br />
break the stigma that being<br />
vulnerable means being weak,<br />
because it’s not. We need to<br />
reinforce and normalise that<br />
seeking help and admitting<br />
you’re not okay is a sign of<br />
strength.”<br />

Orana’s support organisation calls it a day<br />
THE ORGANISATION that<br />
was responsible for establishing<br />
Orana Wildlife Park is winding<br />
down after 50 years.<br />
The South Island Zoological<br />
Society was formed in 1970 with<br />
a vision to create a major wildlife<br />
park in the city.<br />
Its project captured the imagination<br />
of Cantabrians, and within<br />
weeks, the society had grown<br />
from eight founding members to<br />
more than 100 people.<br />
It took a further six years<br />
though of planning, fundraising<br />
and hard work before Orana<br />
Wildlife Park opened.<br />
“The society set out to develop<br />
an open range, drive-through,<br />
zoo,’’ SIZS vice-president David<br />
Laughlin said.<br />
“Starting with almost unusable<br />
land – a dry, stony riverbed<br />
– volunteers cleared the site,<br />
initially with just hand tools.<br />
It was back-breaking work. As<br />
fundraising results increased,<br />
second-hand equipment was<br />
purchased resulting in significant<br />
progress.<br />
“After 50 years of operation,<br />
the society has achieved its objectives<br />
and made the decision to<br />
wind down.”<br />
On September 10, 1976,<br />
Orana’s first animals arrived<br />
from Australia. The ‘Noah’s Ark’<br />
consisted of 18 lions (including<br />
six cubs), two tiger cubs, two<br />
donkeys, two camels, two water<br />
buffalo and two Shetland ponies.<br />
The dream of the SISZ became<br />
a reality at 10am on September<br />
25, 1976, when Orana Park, now<br />
Orana Wildlife Park, opened.<br />
“By 2pm, a queue of cars<br />
stretched 7km along McLeans<br />
Island. The last vehicles came<br />
through the park in the dark,”<br />
Left: The first car to enter the drivethrough<br />
lion reserve at Orana Park<br />
in September 1976. A queue of cars<br />
stretched 7km to enter the park. The<br />
drive-through operated until 1995.<br />
Below: Feed time for rhinoceroses.<br />
said McLaughlin.<br />
Orana’s main trump card was<br />
the drive-through lion reserve,<br />
the first and only one of its type<br />
in New Zealand. It operated<br />
until 1995.<br />
Today, Orana operates the<br />
unique Lion Encounter – the<br />
only one of its type in the Southern<br />
Hemisphere.<br />
The experience is a “historical<br />
nod” to the drive-through days<br />
and the vision of SIZS.<br />
Once the park opened, Orana<br />
Wildlife Trust was formed to run<br />
and manage the zoo.<br />
SISZ took on the role as a supporting<br />
organisation and contributed<br />
to capital projects over<br />
the years with a mix of financial<br />
and volunteer labour support.<br />
SIZS also contributed to<br />
Orana’s newest exhibit, a New<br />
Zealand frog research facility for<br />
maud island/hamilton’s frog – a<br />
significant conservation project<br />
with the aim of reliably breeding<br />
them in captivity, something that<br />
has not been achieved globally.<br />
