Leaving school behind<br />
at the ripe old age of 87<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
AFTER MORE than 71 years in<br />
the workforce, Fred Adams has<br />
only worked two jobs.<br />
But the final chapter of his<br />
most rewarding venture yet<br />
draws to a close today as the<br />
87-year-old caretaker hangs up his<br />
tools for the last time after three<br />
decades.<br />
Described as a “best friend” to<br />
many pupils and staff alike, his<br />
warm presence at Paparoa Street<br />
School each day will be missed,<br />
leaving big boots to fill for whoever<br />
takes his place.<br />
“I get a lot of enjoyment [in]<br />
meeting the children in the morning,”<br />
he said.<br />
“The children seem to be feeling<br />
sad; in a way, I am too. But I’m<br />
87 – age is catching up with me,<br />
so I might as well go out and enjoy<br />
things a bit more.”<br />
Although he could not pinpoint<br />
the reasoning behind his<br />
long-standing tenure, being able<br />
to brighten up a child’s day by<br />
acknowledging them even with<br />
a simple conversation was what<br />
kept him going.<br />
He recalled when a pupil was<br />
asked by another if Fred was a<br />
good friend. Initially, she said no.<br />

Orphanage life shapes ‘caring’ volunteer<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
EVEN THOUGH Lesley O’Neill<br />
grew up without her parents, she<br />
never once felt like she had no<br />
family to turn to.<br />
With an absent father, and<br />
after her mother died of an<br />
illness, life changed forever<br />
at three-years-old when the<br />
Nazareth House orphanage<br />
in Sydenham became her new<br />
home.<br />
But having the sisters and<br />
other children by her side for the<br />
next 14 years it felt like growing<br />
up in a big family.<br />
“It was a home and there<br />
were a lot of other people. Like<br />
any upbringing, there’s always<br />
positives and negatives – but the<br />
positives totally outweighed the<br />
negatives,” she said.<br />
“I guess what happened<br />
was I had an experience that a<br />
lot of people have never had. The<br />
skills that I have now are part<br />
of the nurturing I received as a<br />
child.”<br />
Learning the value of hard<br />
work and giving back from a<br />
young age was what fuelled<br />
her drive these days to volunteer<br />
at the Christchurch South Fruit<br />
and Vegetable Collective, helping<br />
out with setting up the hall and<br />
bags in time for the delivery<br />
trucks.<br />
Her tenacity in the last six years<br />
was why she was nominated as a<br />
recipient of a Community Service<br />
Award this year.<br />
Some of the jobs she had<br />
growing up was answering the<br />
phone or opening the door to<br />
visitors. But one of the biggest<br />
lessons she took away from it all<br />
was the determination the sisters<br />
showed when it came to keeping<br />
the children alive.<br />
“THe sisters used to go out<br />
into the community, begging for<br />
money and food to keep us all<br />
alive. They would come home,<br />
they were exhausted; their shoes<br />
all worn out,” said O’Neill.<br />
“THat taught me about caring<br />
for other people.”<br />
ESSENTIAL:<br />
Volunteer<br />
Leslie O’Neill<br />
and Richard<br />
Clemance were<br />
both recipients<br />
of a Community<br />
Service Award.<br />

GEOFF SLOAN<br />
THe fruit and vegetable collective<br />
processes about 200 orders of<br />
fresh produce each week and are<br />
distributed to eight community<br />
hubs, which is then delivered to<br />
homes across the city – many of<br />
which are on low incomes.<br />
“I’m not looking for a reward<br />
for my work, it’s about what I can<br />
do to support others. Fruit and<br />
vegetables are the food that keeps<br />
people alive,” she said.<br />
O’Neill was not the only one<br />
recognised from the collective.<br />
It was a “big surprise” and<br />
a “humbling” feeling when<br />
Richard Clemance found out he<br />
was also a recipient of the service<br />
award.<br />
For the past six years, he has<br />
helped set up and pack down<br />
the premises, supervised the<br />
unloading and packing process,<br />
and setting up the packing line<br />
for the 20 volunteers.<br />
THe collective purchases<br />
produce from wholesalers<br />
and supermarkets and are<br />
available to the public to buy<br />
in bags, providing a more<br />
affordable option for homes to<br />
get their 5+ A Day.<br />
THe delivery service also<br />
helped people who could not<br />
easily leave their homes, such as<br />
elderly people.<br />
“It gets me out of the house<br />
and it helps a lot of people. It’s<br />
also a good social time, there’s<br />
a good bunch of people [at the<br />
collective],” he said.<br />
He believed others should give<br />
it a go.<br />
“It doesn’t matter how much<br />
or how little it is, every little bit<br />
helps,” Clemance said.<br />
“I try my best; someone’s got<br />
to do it.”<br />

Thursday <strong>December</strong> <strong>17</strong> <strong>2020</strong> 5<br />
Initiative set up to get<br />
more children playing sport<br />
A BELFAST-BASED community<br />
collective has teamed up with<br />
major sports organisations in<br />
the city to tackle the obstacle of<br />
keeping kids active.<br />
The Kia Kori Waitaha – Being<br />
Active Locally initiative is a<br />
collaboration between North<br />
West Collective and Canterbury<br />
Hockey, Canterbury Cricket,<br />
Squash Canterbury, and Touch<br />
Canterbury, in a bid to get more<br />
children participating in sport.<br />
Activators will visit<br />
community trusts and entities<br />
who already work with youth<br />
to deliver fun programmes,<br />
with new activities outside of<br />
traditional sport and recreation.<br />
Emma Hodgkin, of<br />
Canterbury Hockey, said the<br />
sports were prepared to innovate<br />
and enter into new collaborative<br />
partnerships in order to better<br />
meet the needs of communities.<br />
“It’s about us recognising,<br />
that as the organisations<br />
governing our individual sports<br />
in our region, that we have an<br />
obligation past delivering formal<br />
competitions – to provide<br />
opportunities for all young<br />
FOCUS: Canterbury Hockey’s Emma Hodgkin is tackling<br />
the obstacles that prevent children playing sport.<br />
people to keep active,” she said.<br />
A number of barriers often<br />
held some children back<br />
from engaging in sport more,<br />
including location, financial<br />
issues, or lack of awareness.<br />
The initiative aims to<br />
break down some of those<br />
barriers with more focus on<br />
participation, and running<br />
activities that increased physical<br />
activity in children – something<br />
that has been an issue in recent<br />
years.<br />
Activities could be anything<br />
from a game of touch rugby and<br />
jumping on high jump mats, to<br />
climbing a wall or striking a<br />
ball.<br />
Established in 2013, the<br />
collective comprises of nine<br />
community groups who work<br />
together to deliver services<br />
and programmes to people in<br />
the city’s northwest, including<br />
the Belfast Community<br />
Network.<br />
Said general manager Lynda<br />
Goodrick: “The opportunity to<br />
collaborate even more and with<br />
a different sector to support our<br />
grass roots community work,<br />
really just made sense. We see<br />
every day the need to get our<br />
tamariki back out playing and<br />
more importantly encouraging<br />
mums and dads to get involved<br />
as well.<br />
“We bring our experience<br />
of different groups working<br />
together to this great initiative”<br />
In Brief<br />
RESTRICTIONS APPROVED<br />
Parking and stopping restrictions<br />
near Roydvale School has been<br />
approved by the Fendalton-<br />
Waimairi-Harewood Community<br />
Board. This includes installing<br />
3min parking restrictions on<br />
Roydvale Ave and no-stopping<br />
restrictions at the Teesdale St<br />
and Deepdale St intersection.<br />
The approval comes following<br />
requests from the school to relieve<br />
parking and traffic congestion,<br />
improve road visibility, along<br />
with pedestrian safety issues near<br />
the school drop-off area. The road<br />
currently carries around 9400<br />
vehicles per day, with peak flows<br />
of about 800 vehicles an hour<br />
during the morning, and 670 per<br />
hour, during the afternoon. In<br />
the last five years, there have been<br />
five reported crashes near the<br />
intersection.<br />
FLOOD RISK WORK<br />
Work to widen St Albans Creek<br />
will start early next month. The<br />
widening is taking place between<br />
Hills Rd and Slaters St as part<br />
of the Dudley Creek Flood<br />
Remediation Project to return the<br />
St Albans area to pre-earthquake<br />
flood risk levels. Traffic<br />
management will be operating up<br />
to twice a week at off-peak times.<br />
The work will start on January 7,<br />
and is expected to be completed<br />
by May or June next year.<br />

Plenty of free parking!<br />
With NZTA director Jim Harland<br />
behind a huge cake at the Northern<br />
Corridor open day on Saturday.<br />
Attending Saturday’s community<br />
opening of the Northern Corridor<br />
motorway was an exciting<br />
conclusion to our fight for this<br />
project to go ahead to relieve<br />
congestion in our residential<br />
suburbs of Belfast and Northwood.<br />
By opening up traffic corridors to<br />
direct vehicles away from houses<br />
and schools, the project is already<br />
<br />
making our residents and their<br />
<br />
families feel safer.<br />

thrilled to attend our celebrations.<br />
It’s that wonderful time of the<br />
year again when Canterbury lights<br />
up for Christmas. As we look back<br />
over the year and the pressures put<br />
on us by Covid-19, we can still<br />
count our blessings for being able<br />
to call this corner of the world<br />
home. I’m proud of our businesses<br />
that have kept local residents in<br />
jobs, of our community for getting<br />
behind our businesses, and I’m<br />
proud of our community<br />
organisations who are helping our<br />
communities to recover.<br />
It’s been a full year, indeed, and I’m<br />
looking forward to enjoying time<br />
with my family. I’ve always been in<br />
favour of a summer staycation and,<br />
as we continue our fight against the<br />
pandemic, my family and I will<br />
again be celebrating some of the<br />
exceptional recreational spaces on<br />
our doorstep.

Fred Adams with the Super Rugby Trophy, and in his army uniform in 1952<br />
as part of his compulsory military training.<br />
‘You meet some wonderful<br />
• From page 1<br />
“I thought, oh no, what’s<br />
coming next? But then she<br />
said ‘no, he’s my very best<br />
friend,’” said Fred.<br />
“You meet some wonderful<br />
children on the way<br />
which keeps you going. It<br />
brightens them up in the<br />
morning, and it brightens<br />
us elderly people too.<br />
“It’s rewarding to be<br />
acknowledged by the<br />
children. It’s important to<br />
connect with them – it is a<br />
school after all, that’s what<br />
we’re there for.”<br />
Fred played a crucial role<br />
in making sure the school’s<br />
facilities were up to scratch<br />
ahead of the learning day.<br />
At nearly 90-years-old, he<br />
would work four hours<br />
each day; two in the morning<br />
and two in the evening.<br />
The pupils saw him in the<br />
morning just as he was finishing<br />
his morning duties<br />
before 9am and were often<br />
eager for a chat.<br />
A usual lap around the<br />
school involves checking<br />
each classroom and can<br />
take upwards of about 40<br />
minutes. It was a chance<br />
to sneak in some exercise<br />
– an aspect of the job he<br />
considered to be one of his<br />
favourites.<br />
In this time he ensures<br />
the heaters are switched on,<br />
the printers have paper, the<br />
wheelie bins are emptied,<br />
or to check “whether the<br />
cleaners have done a good<br />
job overnight.”<br />
At night, he is in charge<br />
of making sure the windows<br />
and doors are locked<br />
while keeping an eye on the<br />
school hall area.<br />
Fred has been a friendly<br />
face at the school since<br />
1990. It was only his second<br />
job ever, having worked at<br />
a number of post offices<br />
in the South Island for 40<br />
years prior.<br />
Born in 1933, he hails<br />
from Arrowtown, Central<br />
Otago, where he grew up<br />
with his parents and four<br />
siblings.<br />
His father was the last<br />
official town baker from the<br />
“olden days,” and his original<br />
oven was now incorporated<br />
at the Lakes District<br />
Museum and Gallery.<br />
For Fred, life was not<br />
always rosy in the pictureperfect<br />
town. Part of his<br />
childhood was during a<br />
time when the world was<br />
engulfed in war.<br />
His neighbour, along<br />
with his cousin, Bobby<br />
Jones, were both killed in<br />
Italy, when a stray shell<br />
landed and exploded where<br />
they were.<br />
“I was born in the Granny<br />
Jones’ Cottage. During<br />
my time I used to go out<br />
chasing rabbits on hills at<br />
some of the farms where<br />
there were rabbit holes, so<br />
I would put my ferrets in<br />
[them],” said Fred.<br />
“We never had a lot, so it<br />
was quite a struggle in the<br />
early days.”<br />
Soon after leaving high<br />
school in Queenstown at<br />
15-years-old, he secured<br />
a job at the post office in<br />
Arrowtown working at the<br />
counter and the telephone<br />
exchange.<br />
Wanting to further his<br />
skills in the field, he went to<br />
morse school in Trentham,<br />
Upper Hutt, a year and a<br />
half after he started his first<br />
job.<br />
Soon after that he was<br />
also called up for compulsory<br />
military training.<br />

CELEBRATIONS: Fred and his wife, Pearl, on their 60th wedding<br />
anniversary.<br />
children on the way’<br />
Fred Adams skiing at<br />
Coronet Peak in the<br />
late 1940s.<br />
“I used to love the morse,<br />
it’s like another music<br />
system. I was 16-years-old<br />
at the time I went to morse<br />
school, where we had to<br />
do 10 words a minute. I<br />
was fourth in my class,” he<br />
said.<br />
His big break finally<br />
came in 1965 when he was<br />
appointed as postmaster<br />
of the Beckenham post<br />
office following a move to<br />
Christchurch.<br />
Over the years he also<br />
served at offices in St Albans<br />
and Papanui before he<br />
officially left the industry<br />
in 1987, when the country’s<br />
postal services were overhauled<br />
and restructured<br />
following financial difficulties.<br />
After a long overseas<br />
holiday with his wife and<br />
children, he got back in<br />
the game and eventually<br />
took up the role of Paparoa<br />
Street’s caretaker after<br />
it was advertised in the<br />
newspaper.<br />
“A lot has changed over<br />
the years – like we used to<br />
use a hand mower, but now<br />
they use ride-ons. We used<br />
to do the cleaning too before<br />
it went to contractors,”<br />
he said.<br />
“The school has also<br />
grown – there was 300<br />
when I started, and it got<br />
up to about 600.”<br />
Fred fell in love with<br />
the postmaster’s daughter,<br />
Pearl, while working at<br />
the office in Hanmer<br />
Springs, and eventually<br />
married in 1957. The couple<br />
share three children<br />
together.<br />
His close friendship with<br />
the postmaster prevented<br />
any hostility between the<br />
pair in spite of the marriage<br />
to his daughter.<br />
Another joy in his life<br />
stems from his life-long<br />
passion of rugby.<br />
“I’ve always loved rugby,<br />
I played at Balfour Rugby<br />
Club in Southland – I even<br />
played a match against<br />
Robin Archer, who was an<br />
All Black.”<br />
Although Fred did<br />
not have any big plans<br />
for his retirement, he was<br />
already sure of at least one<br />
thing.<br />
“I won’t be doing any<br />
more work that’s for sure. I<br />
plan to do plenty of walking<br />
around the blocks here<br />
and try to keep and as fit as<br />
I can.”<br />
Beautiful design.<br />
Brilliant functionality.<br />

There’s a lot to like about this tablet. It’s lightweight and compact, with a bright and<br />

Believe the<br />
NOR’WEST NEWS<br />
unbelievable<br />
CCP lies, people die.<br />
The tragedies have been<br />
happening in China for<br />
decades; now seem to be<br />
happening worldwide.<br />
Why didn’t we stop this<br />
from happening? Why<br />
did they have the chance<br />
to lie?<br />
20 years ago, the large<br />
scale state-run organ<br />
harvesting towards<br />
Falun Gong practitioners<br />
started. The perpetrators<br />
are officials of the<br />
Chinese Communist<br />
Party (CCP), acting in<br />
cahoots with surgeons,<br />
prison authorities,<br />
and military officials.<br />
Victims are held in<br />
concentrations camps<br />
prior to dissection,<br />
after which the bodies’<br />
remains are immediately<br />
cremated. The story,<br />
almost too dreadful to<br />
believe, was first revealed<br />
in March 2006, when a<br />
woman stated as many<br />
as 4,000 Falun Gong<br />
had been killed for their<br />
organs at the hospital in<br />
which she had worked.<br />
The China Tribunal,<br />
chaired by Sir Geoffrey<br />
Nice, QC, delivered their<br />
final judgment on <strong>17</strong>th<br />
June 2019, Commission<br />
of Crimes Against<br />
Humanity against Falun<br />
Gong and Uyghurs has<br />
been proved beyond<br />
reasonable doubt. Till<br />
today no one knows<br />
exactly how many were<br />
killed. But the crime<br />
has extended to more<br />
and more prisoners of<br />
conscience.<br />
“The only thing<br />
required for the triumph<br />
of evil is for good men to<br />
do nothing.” By sharing<br />
these unbelievable truths<br />
we wish more people<br />
could awaken and be<br />
alert to the nature of<br />
CCP. We need your voice<br />
to help end the evil.<br />

POPULAR: The New Brighton hot pools are close to reaching its 75,000 annual visitor<br />
target, in spite of the Covid-19 pandemic.<br />
Visitor numbers heating up at hot pools<br />
MORE THAN 60,000 people have<br />
poured into the New Brighton<br />
beachside hot pools complex since<br />
it opened six months ago.<br />
He Puna Taimoana manager<br />
Merryn Skipper (left) said it has<br />
been “great to see this longawaited<br />
community facility<br />
being so well-supported.”<br />
“Our visitors are enjoying relaxation<br />
on repeat and rediscovering<br />
New Brighton,” she said.<br />
“Amazingly, we are very<br />
close to our 75,000 annual<br />
visitor numbers goal, despite<br />
the Covid-19 pandemic keeping<br />
international tourists away.<br />
“Seventy-eight per cent of<br />
our ticket sales are from the<br />
wider Christchurch area, with a<br />
further 13 per cent living in New<br />
Brighton.”<br />
She said five per cent of visitors<br />
to the pools on Marine Pde<br />
were from the South Island,<br />
while three per cent were from<br />
the North Island and one per<br />
cent of pool-users were international<br />
visitors.<br />
Skipper has been receiving<br />
positive feedback on the pools.<br />
“An overall online review rating<br />
of 4.9 out of 5 – making us<br />
the highest-rated hot pools in<br />
New Zealand – is a great reflection<br />
our popularity.<br />
“Sessions are extremely popular,<br />
particularly at the weekends<br />
and in the evenings. We recommend<br />
online bookings to secure<br />
a spot.”<br />
She said the number of people<br />
at each session is still limited so<br />
the pools are not overcrowded.<br />
The complex is open from<br />
10am to 7.30pm every day. There<br />
are five pools, ranging from<br />
28- 39 deg C, plus an on-site<br />
cafe and sauna. Christchurch<br />
residents also get discounted<br />
admission when booking their<br />
visit online.

Former Kate Sheppard home open for visits<br />
THE PUBLIC can now visit<br />
the former Fendalton home<br />
of suffragist Kate Sheppard,<br />
who was at the centre of the<br />
campaign to get New Zealand<br />
women the right to vote.<br />
The Clyde Rd home was<br />
bought by the Government last<br />
year for $4.5 million so that it<br />
could be used as a heritage venue<br />
and educational centre where<br />
people could learn about trailblazing<br />
Kiwi women.<br />
It dates back to 1888 and was<br />
used as the base for Kate Sheppard’s<br />
suffrage campaign.<br />
This week Prime Minister<br />
Jacinda Ardern formally opened<br />
Te Whare Waiutuutu Kate Sheppard<br />
House,<br />
which will be managed by<br />
Heritage New Zealand Pouhere<br />
Taonga.<br />
The opening ceremony marks<br />
the completion of the first stage<br />
of repurposing the house as a<br />
visitor experience, which tells<br />
the story of the achievements of<br />
Kate Sheppard and other women<br />
who worked tirelessly to achieve<br />
women’s suffrage.<br />
“This was the place where Kate<br />
Sheppard and other suffragists<br />
wrote pamphlets, prepared<br />
speeches, collected petition<br />
signatures, and worked towards<br />
EDUCATION: Iconic suffragette Kate Sheppard’s former Clyde Rd home is now open to the<br />

New Zealand becoming the first<br />
self-governing country in the<br />
world where women won the<br />
right to vote in 1893,” Dr Christine<br />
Whybrew, Heritage New<br />
Zealand Southern heritage assets<br />
manager said.<br />
“It was here that the petition<br />
– which included thousands of<br />
signatures from supporters all<br />
over the country – was pasted<br />
together before being presented<br />
to Parliament.”<br />
Unable to deliver the petition<br />
herself, MP Sir John Hall did<br />
it in Kate Sheppard’s place,<br />
famously kicking the 270mlong<br />
scroll across the floor of<br />
Parliament’s debating chamber,<br />
allowing all present to see the<br />
signatures for themselves as the<br />
scroll unrolled.<br />
“Because New Zealand was the<br />
first country to give women the<br />
right to vote, this place is also<br />
internationally significant in<br />

Event raises $8000 in spite of cancellation<br />
A WOMEN’S club has raised<br />
more than $8000 towards<br />
crucial research for children<br />
with bowel disease, in spite of<br />
the cancellation of their major<br />
fundraising event.<br />
The Inner Wheel Club of<br />
Riccarton was meant to host a<br />
charitable fashion parade this<br />
year, but it was cancelled twice<br />
due to Covid-19 public gathering<br />
restrictions.<br />
But they were still able to<br />
present $8300 to Cure Kids as<br />
the majority of ticket holders<br />
still decided to donate the price<br />
of their ticket anyway.<br />
Cure Kids, best known for<br />
Red Nose Day, is the country’s<br />
largest funder of child health<br />
research.<br />
The proceeds will enable the<br />
charity to take on an intern<br />
over the summer, who will be<br />
researching the safety, feasibility<br />
and satisfaction of long-distance<br />
out-patient consultations<br />
for children with inflammatory<br />
bowel disease.<br />
“We heard a mother say<br />
how not a day goes by when<br />
she doesn’t wish for a cure for<br />
gastrointestinal failure. That<br />
rang a bell with us all,” said<br />
Bobbity Murfitt, of the Inner<br />
Wheel Club.<br />
“So the idea of hosting a<br />
fashion showcase was born. We<br />
wanted to give love, time and<br />
fundraising to the amazing<br />
hands-on work and research of<br />
Cure Kids.”<br />
The Riccarton club is part of<br />
Inner Wheel – an international<br />
Womens’ Service Club, who<br />
aim to foster true friendship,<br />
service to others, and the<br />
promotion of international<br />
understanding.<br />
The showcase was meant to<br />
feature “models” sporting the<br />
latest fashion for both men and<br />
women from Maxwell Fashion,<br />
based in Halswell.<br />
Originally, it was to be held<br />
in April at Riccarton Park but<br />
was rescheduled to August 12<br />
following the Covid-19 level 4<br />
lockdown.<br />
“But on the evening of<br />
August 11, the Covid-19 level<br />
went up and functions were<br />
reduced to very small numbers.<br />
We were devastated,” said<br />
Murfitt.<br />
“We had to cancel and we<br />
decided not to try again.’<br />

Jasper the ‘purr-fect’ burglar at it again<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
PILES OF socks, underwear,<br />
leggings, and even a bikini have<br />
been mysteriously going missing<br />
in Sumner.<br />
But one resident has identified<br />
the thief – her cat. Mette<br />
Kristiansen says her one-andhalf-year-old<br />
cat, Jasper, has<br />
again been caught red-pawed<br />
with ill-gotten gains clutched in<br />
his claws.<br />
Jasper’s antics were detailed<br />
last Christmas but they have now<br />
become so bad Kristiansen has<br />
been busy dropping off flyers to<br />
warn her neighbours within a<br />
two-block radius about him.<br />
“We got him when he was a<br />
kitten and started doing this<br />
burglarising about Christmas last<br />
year,” she said.<br />
Jasper’s main target seems to<br />
be socks, but he had also claimed<br />
gardening and working gloves,<br />
leggings and shoes.<br />
One neighbour reported him<br />
stealing a bikini.<br />
“I have heard that he definitely<br />
does get into people’s homes. He<br />
walks down their hallway and<br />
into their bedrooms. I’ve heard<br />
tales of him going upstairs . . .<br />
even houses with dogs. He makes<br />
friends with the dogs.”<br />
Kristiansen said Jasper seemed<br />
to be “an incredibly intelligent<br />
cat.”<br />
“One day I was in my bedroom<br />
CAUGHT: Mette Kristiansen and Harriet Kristiansen-Benge,<br />
6, with Jasper and some of the items he has previously<br />
stolen from around Sumner. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />
and I think he was wanting attention<br />
– he jumped up on my<br />
duchess where my drawer was<br />
open a fraction. He put his paw<br />
down, got one little claw out,<br />
picked up one of my socks and<br />
flung it on the floor. He then did<br />
it again.”<br />
Each day Jasper could steal up<br />
to five items.<br />
“He comes through our cat flap<br />
and just drops them in the hallway<br />
after his rampages around<br />
the neighbourhood overnight.<br />
Sometimes he gets a bit lazy and<br />
drops them around the garden.”<br />
Each day she puts two large<br />
bins out by her front door filled<br />
with stolen items so her neighbours<br />
could collect anything<br />
stolen.<br />
In spite of being a “wee bit<br />
worried” about the reaction from<br />
neighbours, Kristiansen<br />
SPOTTED: Jasper has been stealing items, including this<br />
pair of shoes and gardening gloves.<br />
said most people “love the<br />
story and find it extremely<br />
entertaining.”<br />
“I don’t think a lot of people<br />
realise they are missing items<br />
. . . that’s why I’m finding it really<br />
hard to return things to people,”<br />
she said.<br />
A Facebook page has also been<br />
set up. Neighbour Brooke Carroll<br />
and her three children – aged<br />
seven, five, and two – were just<br />
some of Jasper’s victims.<br />
“He will steal socks . . . he<br />
steals lots from the clothesline,<br />
he’s stolen upwards of 50 socks.”<br />
The morning after Halloween,<br />
they saw a bikini Jasper had<br />
stolen hanging on the front<br />
fence.<br />
“The kids think it is hilarious<br />
. . . they can’t find their rugby<br />
socks so we go and look in the<br />
Jasper bin.”<br />

Toy swap relieves pressure on families<br />
A PASSION to help families<br />
during the festive season led<br />
the team at Barnardos Early<br />
Learning Centre to set up a toy<br />
swap within the centre.<br />
Families could bring in as<br />
many items as they liked at the<br />
Mairehau-based centre and take<br />
what they needed.<br />
Said centre manager Gillian<br />
Chappell, who came up with<br />
the idea: “Swaps are a great way<br />
to share materials and connect<br />
with the community. This is a<br />
great time of year to share toys<br />
children aren’t using and pick up<br />
items for Christmas giving”.<br />
It also means less pressure on<br />
whānau pockets as Christmas<br />
approaches.<br />
“You don’t need to spend lots<br />
of money around Christmas.<br />
You can choose to make it special,”<br />
said Chappell.<br />
The centre invited the wider<br />
community to the Toy Swap,<br />
provided morning tea with a<br />
focus on supporting vulnerable<br />
families to build connections<br />
and can give to others.<br />
Chappell also started thinking<br />
about the environment, sustainability<br />
and how the centre could<br />
reduce its carbon footprint.<br />
The initiative enabled the<br />
centre to avoid throwing away<br />
usable items and helps showcase<br />
how “fun” reusing can be.<br />
“We started out offering to<br />
our whānau, and because of<br />
the amazing response opened<br />
it up to the wider community.<br />
We gained some really positive<br />
feedback and will run the swap<br />
again next year.”<br />
PRACTICAL:<br />
A toy swap<br />

Early<br />

Centre has<br />
helped<br />

The 2018-2028 Long Term<br />
Plan also predicts a 50 per cent<br />
rates increase over 10 years.<br />
Said Cr MacDonald: “In<br />
the current environment it’s<br />
