‘We need help’ – plea from 

residents over youth crime 

• By Bea Gooding 

NEARLY 2000 people have 

signed a petition demanding the 

city council takes action over 

increased youth offending in 

Parklands. 

Concerns are mounting over 

the prevalence of crimes in the 

suburb particularly in the last 

six months, ranging between assault 

with a knife, selling drugs, 

harassment and car break-ins 

allegedly carried out by children 

aged 10 to 12-years-old. 

Parklands resident Grant 

Donnell is leading the charge in 

a bid to get the city council to 

install crime prevention cameras 

at hot spots often frequented 

by the public. 

Affected areas included 

Parklands Reserve, Parklands 

Community Centre and the car 

parks on Mairehau Rd at the 

Travis Wetlands walking trails. 

City council head of community 

support, governance 

and partnerships John Filsell 

said they were aware of the petition 

and some of the behaviour 

described. 

However, a request for 

cameras at these sites had not 

been received through a formal 

channel. 

Police did not respond to 

questions by Pegasus Post by the 

deadline. 

“I started the petition 

because every single day 

someone is getting broken into, 

assaulted, or we have kids selling 

drugs to other kids,” said 

Donnell. 

“We have 10 to 12-year-olds 

with knives jacking other kids 

for their scooters, an old lady 

was hassled outside Fresh 

Choice and was knocked to the 

ground because these kids were 

after her handbag. 

“We’re standing up and saying 

we need help.” 

A woman said on the petition 

she was signing it due to 

“threats and abuse” her own 

children faced by a group of 

young girls or teen boys. 

“My children get harassed 

for food or money and if my 

children say no they then get 

verbally abused and threatened,” 

she said. 

CONCERNS: 

Grant 

Donnell 

started a 

petition in 

an effort to 

get crime 

prevention 

cameras 

installed in 

Parklands.

SLOAN 

“There have been times the 

group of boys have tried to 

steal my children’s bikes for 

not giving them any food or 

money.” 

Visiting Travis Wetlands was 

no longer an option for another 

resident.

Cancer Society art exhibition 

A NEW art exhibition 

showcasing the work of the 

Cancer Society’s art groups 

will open in Linwood on 

March 16. 

The Art Escape exhibition 

at the Eastside Gallery in 

the Linwood Community 

Arts Centre will offer the 

public the opportunity to 

view and purchase artwork 

created by members of two 

Cancer Society art groups. 

Course tutor Karen 

Greenslade said that the art 

groups provide a welcome 

respite for those whose lives 

have been adversely affected 

by cancer. 

“The group members 

are supported by volunteer 

tutors who are fine arts 

graduates or qualified 

teachers,” Greenslade said. 

“Often the group 

members have had a desire 

to paint in the past and 

are now able to put the 

difficulties of their illness 

aside for a while and 

express themselves via their 

art,” Greenslade said. 

Art group member Ray 

Haward received his cancer 

diagnosis over a year ago 

and has been attending art 

classes since soon after that. 

“I have always been 

interested in art,” Haward 

said. 

“I have recently drifted 

into abstract work and I like 

the freedom it gives me. 

“The Cancer Society is 

the go-to place if you need 

any advice, and the people 

are very helpful here,” 

Haward said. 

About 40 artworks by 20 

artists, including Haward, 

will be on display at the 

exhibition, with the artwork 

covering a range of different 

styles. 

The exhibition opening 

will be on Tuesday, March 

16, from 5.30-6.45pm and 

the exhibition will run from 

March 17 to April 1, 11am- 

5pm, Wednesday through 

Saturday. 

As well as the art classes, 

the Cancer Society also 

runs free yoga, meditation 

and creative writing 

workshops for people 

affected by cancer.

“I used to walk in Travis Wetlands 

regularly until cars were 

being broken into, and now I avoid 

it like the plague,” she said on the 

petition. 

Donnell speculated the increased 

youth offending was 

brought about by the removal 

of things to do for children and 

teenagers over the years since the 

earthquakes. 

He said police and community 

watch groups have increased their 

presence in the area since the petition 

was brought to light. He believed 

incidents were less frequent 

as a result. 

“It’s totally made people feel 

safer,” he said. 

Filsell said the city council was 

currently looking at options to 

install cameras, other options not 

limited to CCTV, and planned to 

attend community meetings with 

police. 

“The cameras are a deterrent at 

times, however, are only a part of 

any solution and not always appropriate 

to all areas,” he said. 

“Activities and community 

events along with good resources 

are always a good idea, local 

council staff run several events 

and support local groups to deliver 

programmes in Parklands.”

Grief on the Run 

by Julie Zarifeh 

What happens when your life is rocked by unimaginable loss and grief? How do you 

survive and how do you keep going? 

Julie Zarifeh shares the tragic story of losing her 27-year-old son, Sam, in a whitewater 

rafting accident just sixteen days after her 60-year-old husband, Paul, died of pancreatic 

cancer. 

She describes how she and her surviving son and daughter dealt with this double 

whammy and how she embraced the notion of ‘active grieving’. This included a 

450-kilometre cycle tour around Sri Lanka, raising money to give disadvantaged Kiwi 

children new bikes; trekking the 800-kilometre Camino de Santiago; and running the 

New York marathon on behalf of the Mental Health Foundation. 

Julie’s account of learning to live with grief, plus her experience as a clinical psychologist, 

make this an inspirational and ultimately uplifting read. 

Joe Biden - Promises to Keep 

‘A ripping good read … Biden is a master storyteller and has stories worth telling.’ 

President Joe Biden tells the story of his extraordinary life and career prior to his 

emergence as Barack Obama’s beloved, influential vice president. 

Joe Biden has both witnessed and participated in a momentous epoch of American 

history. In Promises to Keep, he reveals what these experiences taught him about 

himself, his colleagues, and the institutions of government. 

With his customary honesty and wit, Biden movingly and eloquently recounts growing 

up in a staunchly Catholic multigenerational household in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and 

Wilmington, Delaware; overcoming personal tragedy, life-threatening illness, and career 

setbacks; his relationships with presidents, world leaders, and lawmakers on both sides 

of the aisle; and his leadership of powerful Senate committees. 

Farm for Life 

Mahi, mana and life on the land 

by Tangaroa Walker 

The awesomely inspiring true story of how Tangaroa Walker turned his life around through 

farming - and how what he learned can help anyone succeed. 

Tangaroa Walker’s early years were pretty rough. Adopted twice, he went to six different 

schools by the time he was six. He never read a book in his life and lived to play rugby. 

But he had a dream, and he knew how to do the mahi. 

Today, T is a true community and industry leader running a successful 500-cow dairy 

farm and reaching millions as the much-loved face of Farm4Life with his practical, 

inspiring, crack-up videos on everything from farming to fishing, finance to whanau, 

management to mental health. 

This is the story of how he did it - the good and the bad times - and all the lessons 

learned along the way.

New Zealand’s Underworld of Organised Crime 

By Jared Savage 

New Zealand is now one of the most lucrative illicit drug markets in the world. Organised 

crime is about making money. It’s a business. Award-winning investigative reporter 

Jared Savage shines a light into New Zealand’s rising underworld of organised crime 

and violent gangs. 

Mauri Ora 

by Peter Alsop and Te raumawhitu Kupenga 

Pearls of wisdom contained in proverbs - whakatauk I - have been gifted from generation 

to generation as an intrinsic part of the Maori world. As powerful metaphors, they combine 

analogy and cultural history in the most economical of words. Short and insightful, 

they surprise, engendering reflection, learning and personal growth. Mauri Ora links 

whakatauk I to key personal virtues idealised across cultures and generations. The 

virtues - wisdom, courage, compassion, integrity, self-mastery and belief - stem from the 

science of positive psychology; the study of how to live a better life. Illustrated throughout 

with wonderful photographs from an old world, this book draws on traditional wisdom to 

provide a recipe for personal effectiveness and leadership, and a rewarding connection 

of Maori knowledge to contemporary thinking about personal happiness and fulfilment.

Santa’s right-hand man keeps kids happy 


IT’S WIDELY known that Santa 

creates his Christmas magic in 

the North Pole, but Malcolm 

Westgarth and his elves will have 

you believe otherwise. 

Making nearly 1000 wooden 

toys by hand each year, volunteers 

at The Santa Claus Workshop 

Charitable Trust donate 

them to children across the city 

who otherwise would not receive 

a gift from Santa. 

Malcolm, 83, manages the 

workshop at Shirley Intermediate 

School’s technology block, 

ensuring the toys are in tip-top 

shape for their new homes in 

time for the festive season. 

He said many of Santa’s helpers 

were in their 60s to 80s. Like 

the others, a sense of joy washes 

over him when he hears of the 

impact the gesture had on childrens’ 

lives. 

The toys were distributed 

to families by organisations 

such as the Delta Foundation, 

the Mayor’s Welfare Fund, the 

Shirley Community Trust and 

other charities. 

“A little boy a few years ago 

was given a little wooden tractor; 

he was told he could take 

it home and that it was his. He 

just burst into tears, he couldn’t 

understand it. He had never been 

given anything like that before,” 

he said. 

“That gets at our guys, they 

like to hear what happens and 

the stories where things are done 

to help these kids.” 

Nearly 16 years ago Malcolm 

had some spare paint lying 

around in his garage. 

He was adamant it would not 

go to waste. It was Resene paint, 

after all. 

His wife instructed him to 

take it to the Shirley Community 

Centre who knew of others who 

needed it and eventually connected 

with Santa’s workshop. 

The workshop has been providing 

Christmas joy to children 

since 1978 when two Richmond 

carpenters decided to do something 

new with their Sunday 

mornings. 

They put a call out in “the 

JOY: Santa Claus Charitable 

Trust manager Malcolm 

Westgarth and his helpers 

make nearly 1000 wooden 

toys by hand each year for 

needy children. 

PHOTOS: GEOFF SLOAN 

local rag” for donations of 

broken wooden toys, which they 

repaired and donated to needy 

families in the area. 

They operated out of the community 

centre until the February 

22, 2011, earthquake damaged 

the building. With support from 

the Papanui-Innes Community 

Board, they relocated to the 

school a year later. 

“I donated some paint I had in 

my garage to the workshop and 

was asked within 10 days when I 

was going to come by and put it 

on the toys.” 

The responsibility of painting 

the toys has mostly been his ever 

since, but Malcolm is not alone. 

Twice a week for about eight 

hours he is joined by 15 volunteers 

who help cut timber and 

construct the toys either at the 

school or within the comfort of 

their home workshops. 

Made of full timber with the 

absence of medium-density fibreboard, 

the toys were designed 

to last and range from dinosaurs, 

animals and cars to puzzles, 

games and building blocks. 

It costs a minimum of $8000 

to run the workshop, but large 

donations of timber, operating at 

the school rent-free, and financial 

support from The Lions Club 

of Christchurch helped the trust 

stay afloat. 

Back then they made about 250 

toys a year and has since grown 

to their personal best of 1300 in 

2019. Last year they created 980 

in spite of Covid-19 disruptions. 

Because the toys aren’t made of 

plastic like most were nowadays, 

the wooden toys were “better for 

the kids.” 

“They’re making a comeback. 

These are very popular because 

people know they’re going to 

last.” 

Malcolm encourages volunteers 

to make about 20 to 30 

units of their favourite toys, attempting 

to introduce a new toy 

every year. 

He had difficulty determining 

which one was his favourite to 

make, but things such as sewing 

machines and toasters were what 

“dumbfounded” him the most. 

More popular items included 

wooden chairs and cots designed 

for dolls, which are also supplied 

by the trust, including the bedding 

and the dolls. 

The hardest part of it all was 

not being able to fulfil each 

child’s request and having the 

time to do everything. 

Said Malcolm: “We used to 

have a telephone permanently 

hooked up. We would get phone 

calls from children asking for 

this and that. A lot of these 

things were not on our radar and 

we didn’t even consider making 

them. 

“We try to give kids what they 

want, but it doesn’t work that 

way.” 

Malcolm may be working out 

of the same rooms where he 

learnt the art of woodworking 

himself as a former pupil of 

Shirley Intermediate, but it was 

not his only passion. 

He grew up in the area with 

his parents and twin sisters 

and attended Shirley Primary 

School. 

He did not tinker in the workshop 

at home. Instead, he was an 

avid stamp collector and used to 

be the librarian for the Christchurch

He joined the trust because he

The trust is currently in the 

process of finding a new rent-free 

facility – about 300 sq m in size 

with enough storage space for a 

container. 

More volunteers were always 

welcome, said Malcolm. 

“The school have been very 

generous letting us have these 

rooms rent-free as they had 

more class room than needed, 

but that’s not on the Ministry of 

Education’s agenda [anymore],” 

he said.

International students at Shirley Boys’ High School 

harvested a crop of potatoes to give to the City 

Mission and families in need of help. The potatoes 

were planted in the school’s vegetable garden 

during the September holidays, overseen by senior 

international student Thong Le of Vietnam. The 

international students volunteer their time to the 

vegetable garden as part of their contribution to 

charity and service. The group also grows other 

vegetables such as silver beet, carrots, courgettes 

and beetroot, to donate to a grateful City Mission. 

Above – International students at 

Shirley Boys’ High School, including 

Kotaro Doi, Naoyuki Furukawa 

(rear) and Den Otsuki, have grown 

hundreds of potatoes for charity.

New Brighton has proud harness racing history 

The New Brighton 

Museum has a rich 

history spanning for 

than 100 years. Peggy 

Butterfield writes 

monthly about the 

historical display at the 

heritage museum 

THE SITE where Avonside and 

Shirley Boys’ High Schools stand 

has a wonderful racing history. 

When one of the first settlers, 

Mr Free arrived, the area was just 

sandhills. He proceeded to make 

a race track where he trained his 

horses. 

This was then developed into 

the New Brighton Trotting Club, 

with horses competing which had 

been trained in the local stables. 

Ron and Wally Kerr trained 

horses at Wildwood Stables on 

Wainoni Rd – the Frosts owned 

stables at 153 Bexley Rd. 

Bert Stafford lived and trained 

at Santa Anita at 173 Palmers Rd. 

He owned and trained a number 

of horses in his time, but he said 

that Pot Luck was the best he had 

owned. 

These stables were also named 

Terra Nova Lodge with Roy 

Messervey training Great News. 

Robert Button bought Brooklyn 

Lodge, a large estate that 

included a stud farm and racing 

stables, and also a full-sized race 

track that was leased to the New 

Brighton Trotting Club. 

His daughter Bella Button was 

the champion lady driver in 1907, 

being the first woman to compete 

in a race meeting. 

Alfred Wilson drove Factory 

Boy in the inaugural New Zealand 

cup in 1904. His training 

stables were in Bower Ave on a 

large section that ran through to 

Palmers Rd. 

In 1909 his mare Myonotis 

paced one mile in 2min 15sec – 

the first horse in New Zealand to 

make such time. 

The New Brighton Trotting 

Club was established in the late 

1890s and the final meeting was 

held there in February 1942. 

In 1963 the land was sold to the 

council for $75,000, and QE II 

was built there ready for the 1974 

Commonwealth Games. 

These wonderful sports facilities 

were all lost in the February 

22, 2011, earthquakes, but now 

the site bears those lovely schools 

and a smaller swimming pool. 

The New Brighton Museum 

is proud to display the racing 

colours from two local 

champion horsemen plus a lot 

of memorabilia, and race books 

from the New Brighton Trotting 

Club. 

HERITAGE: The New Brighton Trotting Club grounds before QE II was built there for the 

1974 Commonwealth Games.

AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS 

PEGASUS POST 

Customers pleased with honest, 

reliable vehicle servicing 

Having your vehicle regularly serviced is 

key to getting the best out of it in terms of 

fuel efficiency and reduced wear and tear 

on expensive parts. 

Kevin, who owns and operates Parker 

Automotive in Birmingham Drive, 

provides full vehicle servicing to keep your 

vehicle running smoothly, as well as WOFs, 

batteries and tyres. 

He also carries out all mechanical repairs, 

including cam belt replacement, suspension 

work, clutch and gearbox repairs, only 

repairing what’s necessary, and without 

charging the earth. 

He has owned the business since 2007, 

and over that time has established a loyal 

customer base – people that rely on him 

to give them sound advice and provide 

professional care and servicing for their 

vehicles. 

Customers come from across the city, 

Spreydon, Hillmorton, Riccarton, Halswell 

and Middleton areas, and the business has 

received many positive Google reviews 

from customers. Below are some examples: 

I have been going to Parker Automotive 

for the last eight years and I cannot fault the 

service. The mechanical work has been top 

notch! If you want top service and value for 

money I recommend Parker Automotive. –

major work like clutches, replacement 

coilovers and bushings. Kevin is a very 

honest guy who gets the job done in a very 

timely manor and he has outstanding 

communication. The overall service I’ve 

received is excellent. – Lachlan Poole 

I know it’s not always about price but 

sometimes, when it comes to vehicle repairs, 

you just want a perceived good deal and work 

carried out by someone who seems to care. 

Kevin came recommended by a friend, and 

what a great recommendation. His work was 

clean, efficient, fast and came in under what 

I thought it was going to cost. So we took my 

partner’s car there two days later and that 

too was completed faster than we expected 

and at an almost unbelievable cost. 

Give Parker Automotive a shot next 

time you need something done. Kevin 

is a nice fella too, win win. – Mark 

Lewis 

Earlier this year, Parker Automotive 

moved from premises on the Lincoln 

and Torrens roads corner to a new site 

at 23B Birmingham Drive, Middleton. 

Opening hours are Monday to 

Friday 7.30am-4pm, Saturday 8am-

Manukura Kōrero 

Mā te kimi ka kite, Mā te kite ka mōhio, Mā te mōhio ka mārama Seek and 

discover. Discover and know. Know and become enlightened. 

Our focus on hautūtanga/leadership in 2021 provides us with exciting opportunities 

to identify and grow some of our kura’s strong and capable leaders. The 

2021 school year began well with positive numbers of senior ākonga in years 

11 to 13 returning to kura to continue their studies for NCEA. Ākonga success 

in 2020 was very positive with greater numbers of ākonga achieving NCEA 

Credits at Levels 1, 2, 3. 

Our ākonga are to be commended on their commitment to study and their 

improved results. Junior school hautūtanga/leadership continues to grow from 

strength to strength. An exciting innovation in 2021is the launch of our Intermediate 

School structure for Years 7 & 8. Housed in Korepo the Year 7 & 8 

ākonga are working with kanmahi to co-construct a dynamic ako/learning space 

that allows them to enjoy all the advantages of an Area School environment 

with the added focus on those important intermediate years. Whānau are 

invited to attend the weekly assemblies to catch a glimpse of the exciting mahi 

covered at this level. The school roll has increased this year and as a result we 

have welcomed a number of new kaimahi to our kura. The Board’s specialisation 

employment policy has provided us the opportunity to employ Specialists 

in Chemistry, ESOL and Te Reo Māori. 

Our first month of Term 1 has been challenging. We joined with the people 

of Ōtautahi to commemorate the lives lost in the 2011 Earthquake and then 

moved again into COVID-19 Alert Level 2. I am so proud of our ākonga and all 

they have achieved in the few shorts weeks we have been back at kura. with a 

real sense of pride in the young men and women who make this the remarkable 

school that it is! 

I want to thank you as whānau for sharing 

with us your greatest gift – your tamariki and 

rangatahi. They live in a pressurized world 

and are often expected to be old before their 

years. As a community we need to let them 

be “kids.” They have a lifetime of responsibility 

ahead of them – so for now let’s allow 

them to focus on schoolwork, homework, 

sport and cultural activities and most importantly 

positive age appropriate relationships. 

It is going to be a great year and I am looking 

forward to working with you and for you in 

the best interests of all.

Charlotte Burrell 

Haeata Community Campus warmly congratulates 

Haeata Student Charlotte Burrell on the publication 

of her witty piece of writing, ‘The Janitor’s 

Office’. This has been published in the yearly journal 

Re-Draft. Re-Draft is a nationally acclaimed 

collection of teenagers’ writing, published each 

year by Clerestory Press. 

Any New Zealand teenager can enter work 

using the form found in the back of the current edition of Re-Draft. Entries can be any 

creative writing genre and will be judged by award winning New Zealand writers. This 

accomplishment is a credit to Charlotte’s hard work, and we are so proud of her! 

Student Leadership 2021 

Whaia e koe ki te iti kahurangi; ki te tuohu koe, me maunga teitei 

Seek the treasure you value most dearly; if you bow your head, let it be to a 

lofty mountain. 

On Tuesday 2 March, we celebrated the appointment of our student leaders. This is the 

second year that Haeata Community Campus has had student leaders and we are so 

pleased with the culture change this is instilling at Kura. The event was a great mana-enhancing 

event for our ākonga, whānau, and kaimahi as we celebrated their appointment. Our hospitality 

pathway students also put on a great spread for our guests to enjoy afterwards. 

We congratulate our 2021 Student Leaders as they embark on an exciting adventure leading 

our school, and being an example to our ākonga in 2021.

Haka Off 2021 

Two of our Pathway programs: Services Academy and Mangopare Senior 

Sports Programme performed a haka off at Haeata. Services have their own 

Haka, and the composer of the Aranui Community Sports Haka gifted it to 

the school for our sports teams. 

This was a great opportunity for our ākonga to explore Te Ao Māori, Haka, 

and Collaboration. Soon our seniors will support our juniors to learn each 

haka as well, to build a supportive and culturally aware kura. We are so excited 

to see where our ākonga go in these amazing programmes.
