Call for cameras after 

pupils hit by car 

• By Bea Gooding 

A CALL HAS been made to install 

cameras at a busy intersection after 

a car failed to give way and struck 

school pupils. 

Sue Bennetts was driving past 

the Clyde Rd and Memorial Ave 

intersection when she saw a Cobham 

Intermediate School pupil lying 

on the ground, 

and another in the 

back of an ambulance. 

The incident 

came as no 

surprise to her 

having lived in the 

Eddie 

Norgate 

area for 15 years 

and experienced 

near-misses at the 

pedestrian crossing closest to BP 

on a “weekly basis.” 

Principal Eddie Norgate confirmed 

the pupils were hit by a 

vehicle but said it occurred near 

the crossing, not while they were 

on it, and that it was a “genuine 

accident.” 

Senior Sergeant Michael Jones 

said a young person sustained 

minor injuries and inquiries into 

the crash were ongoing.

DANGEROUS: The city council will review the layout at the Clyde Rd and Memorial Ave intersection in an effort to make 

it safer for pedestrians.

New site for church destroyed by arson 


PARISHIONERS OF a church that 

was deliberately burned down nearly 

five years ago will soon have a new 

place to call home. 

St Margaret’s Presbyterian Church, 

Bishopdale, was the subject of arson 

in 2016 causing damage beyond 

repair. Since then, the church has 

worked hard to develop plans for a 

replacement facility. 

There were plans to have the Farrington 

Ave rebuild completed by 

mid-2018, but lengthy insurance processes 

meant the project took longer 

to get off the ground. 

Church minister Reverend Andrew 

Nicol said building consents 

were now in the hands of the city 

council and was close to determining 

who will receive the building 

contract. 

This process could take several 

weeks but if all goes to plan, the 

rebuild will start in the middle of the 

year. 

“We’re pretty excited around here, 

it’s been a while since the fire in 2016. 

We are pretty close to appointing a 

building contractor and we’re hoping 

to break ground halfway through 

this year,” said Nicol. 

“A building is a really useful tool 

and that can be a good thing, but 

the church is the people, it’s not the 

building.” 

The church was founded in 1964 

when the suburb of Bishopdale had 

been developed. 

In 2016, Cheyenne Destiny Reed, 

35, was sentenced to six years’ prison 

after he was convicted of setting fire 

to a bag inside the church which 

gutted the building, causing nearly 

$2.3m in damages. 

Believing that God killed his 

friends in the February 22, 2011 

earthquake, he set the church on fire 

in anger – an attempt to get back at 

him. 

Nicol was looking forward to having 

a bright, warm space to continue 

operations from and welcoming back 

community groups which previously 

used the church for their activities. 

Since the blaze, the church still operated 

from the same site, but from 

“The Hub” – their community building 

which escaped a similar fate. 

“The old church – as much of a 

blessing as it was – was a bit dark,” 

said Nicol. 

“[The new church] will be a bit different, 

it will be a light, open multiuse 

space with a generous foyer, 

kitchen and a small meeting room. 

Our intention is to have a really hospitable 

and warm feel to it.” 

The project was made possible by 

a combination of insurance money, 

grants and donations from the 

wider Presbyterian community and 

fundraisers.

‘It makes me nervous for these kids’ 

• From page 1 

Said Bennetts: “I moved a 

month ago and now drive past 

the spot. I used these lights 

every day for 15 years, and 

every day vehicles turning left 

from Clyde into Memorial 

would run red lights and drive 

straight through the crossing 

without stopping or looking. 

“I have written to the 

council and rung police with 

number plates of offenders 

but nothing has been done. 

There needs to be signage and 

a red-light camera installed 

immediately.” 

On one occasion she followed 

a vehicle that nearly hit 

her to a nearby supermarket to 

take down its details for police. 

Police told her they sent a 

letter to educate the driver and 

she decided not to take the 

matter further. 

The incident she described 

at the intersection was not the 

first. 

A few years ago the city 

council installed “speed 

bumps” when another child 

was also hit by a car. 

“It doesn’t seem to have 

deterred anyone. It makes me 

nervous for these kids, we’ve 

seen the aftermath of an accident 

[before].” 

City council transport 

operations manager Steffan 

Thomas said there have been 

two minor injury crashes 

at the crossing in the last 10 

years, both involving pedestrians. 

The intersection as a whole 

over the past 15 years saw a total 

of 34 crashes – 14 of those 

resulting in minor injuries, but 

the majority involved rightturning 

vehicles into Clyde 

Rd. 

Jones said police data 

showed the intersection in 

question to be of lower risk 

than many others around the 

city. 

Said Thomas: “Concerns 

have been raised regarding 

queueing to turn right into 

Clyde Rd from both approaches, 

particularly during school 

pick up and drop off times.” 

In 2016 the city council upgraded 

the crossings at all four 

left-turn slip lanes, including 

raised tables and improved 

road markings to reduce vehicle 

speeds. 

But installing red-light cameras 

as requested by Bennetts 

would not provide any benefit, 

Thomas said. 

“The crossing in question 

is currently a zebra crossing

kiwi 

and is not controlled by traffic 

lights, hence a red light camera 

may not provide any benefit to 

this specific concern.” 

However, city council staff 

will review the existing layout 

and if needed, will look at 

updating and improving 

signage to warn approaching 

drivers. 

Said Thomas: “We are 

currently working with police 

for the introduction of redlight 

enforcement cameras in 

Christchurch, as we recognise 

and support red-light cameras 

as viable crash-reduction 

tools.”

Planning 

for Change 

Business 

planning takes on 

new importance 

in a time of 

uncertainty. 

It’s the life all of us have come to know and 

the reality is that it’s likely to be with us all for 

a long time yet, and what I’m referring to are 

the effects of a lengthy pandemic on our own 

individual journeys and psyche. 

It requires resilience and fortitude to manage 

yourself, your life, your family and your business 

during all of this, so it’s important to spend 

time working on these capabilities. Personally, 

I do this best with a plan in my sights and a 

team by my side, which takes me to our annual 

business planning session. 

With the benefit of guidance from 

extraordinary mentors Gilbert Enoka and Paul 

Wright, our leadership team and I have been 

able to think deeply about what’s needed in 

our business over the next twelve months (24 

months is too far!) – and also what constantly 

distinguishes great teams. 

You could easily think that there’s nothing new 

to consider or develop when you’ve worked 

on this for over two decades, but the opposite 

is true and good mentors will push you to 

enter that space, reminding us that “it’s about 

movement, not judgement.” 

So, to what I’ve learnt. 

This year’s session involved a study I knew of 

but hadn’t considered in depth, and strangely 

enough it was the second presentation in a 

week that referred to this same organisation: 

the US Navy SEALs. Although I don’t personally 

relate to the tasks this elite group undertake, 

I’m now more aware of the incredible trust 

required for them to function, making them 

one of the highest performing organisations 

in the world. 

The literature pointed out that this group 

requires great character and commitment to 

service, technical expertise, physical ability and 

the capacity to cope with enormous stress. 

All of these attributes are found in successful 

teams and businesses, and I’m reminded 

of how essential these strengths are when 

I think about the times we are working 

in. So much evolution, from the 2020 

lockdown, corresponding fears and market 

consequences, to the never-predicted-byanyone 

pre-Christmas property grab where 

spectacular auctions and strong results for 

owners fuelled an incredible platform for 

prices never seen before, to another period in 

Level Two right now (as this article is written). 

It’s hard to know where the market’s going to 

go as we navigate the year, but all of us have

Cancer Society to showcase works of art groups 

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

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, of Northwood, 

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. 

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 

They put a call out in “the 

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 

Philatelic Society for nearly 

14 years. 

Malcolm retired from his only 

job of 40 years as the sales manager 

for the Union Steam Ship 

Company, organising ferries to 

Wellington and cargo ships to 

America, India, Pakistan and 

North America. 

He joined the trust because he 

wanted something to do with his 

time. 

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. 

“We’re all getting a bit older 

and we need more help. We need 

younger people to get involved 

too.”

Pupils from Casebrook Intermediate School hit Sumner beach last week to learn about water safety and how to surf. Pupils 

rotated between surfing and boogie boarding with instructors from Learn 2 Surf, and hanging out on the beach with their 

teacher/parent helpers. The surfing trip was one of two outdoor adventure education activities organised for year 7 classes at 

the beginning of each year, the other being a full day trek. Teacher Samantha Kirk said the school runs the adventure days 

early in the year to assist in building a strong learning community. She said many unique opportunities can be promoted 

through these activities including class relationships and personal development.

RAY WHITE PAPANUI NEWS 

Top Tips For Downsizing 

Your children have left home and they’re 

now hell-bent on living their own exciting 

lives. The once noisy family house where 

you’ve lived for 20 odd years shrieks with 

memories of kids playing and arguing – 

while simultaneously featuring echoingly 

empty rooms and extraordinary silence. 

Yes, it’s the time of your life you never 

thought would come: downsizing to a 

smaller place, and possibly a smaller town. 

But this move doesn’t necessarily have to 

be scary and sad. 

Firstly…three important points to consider 

when downsizing, especially if it’s to a 

new area, are nice weather and proximity 

to a hospital and family. At the very least, 

ensure you’re close to a large town with an 

airport so that family can visit or stay with 

you if you need assistance at any time. 

Ideally, visit the town or holiday there 

before moving and while doing this, check 

local real estate prices. 

Does this new place tick all your boxes 

when it comes to your preferred lifestyle, 

budget and health? Are you a sociable 

person who loves to get involved with the 

community? If so, an isolated town won’t 

suit. Either way, it can take time to settle 

into another place and especially so if your 

health crumbles and you can no longer 

drive. Ask your children for ideas and 

advice too. 

Next...find a real estate agent. It may have 

been 20 years since you’ve sold or bought 

a house and plenty can change in the 

property market in that time! Plus, after 

all this time, you’ve got a strong emotional 

connection to your home. 

But try to put aside this 

connection when listing the 

property. It may be worth 

millions in memories to you 

but buyers won’t see it that 

way! Then there’s your hunt for a real 

estate agent – for both selling your family 

house and buying a downsizer. Aim to 

interview up to three agents or even 

better, ask for suggestions from friends 

and family. Well known companies can be 

the way to go but aim to target a specific 

agent rather than an agency as a whole. 

Pick a person who goes out of their way to 

go the extra mile for you. 

Packing up...your next home will have 

much less space, which is great as you’ll 

save money on maintenance. But as 

you start the massive task of packing 

up decades of bits and pieces, be aware 

some hard choices will need to be made 

about what to keep and discard. Firstly, 

tell your kids that any items they still have 

at the family home need to be picked up 

ASAP. Then start thinking less is more 

and better! The more you throw away 

now, the less cash you’ll need to spend on 

removalists. 

On this note, packing up yourself instead 

of having removalists do this will ensure 

you’re only taking articles that are 100% 

necessary. Tell your kids about any objects 

you’re planning to throw away as they 

may want them. But for anything neither 

they or you want to keep, take a trip to 

an op shop and give away the objects or 

Residential Tenancies Amendments Act 2020 

When do the new rues apply? 

With the new Residential Tenancies 

Amendments Act 2020 now well under 

way I thought that over the next few issues 

I would break the main changes down for 

you to give you some understanding of how 

they impact tenancies. 

As I have said many times, ensuring you are 

up to date with the changes is one thing, 

ensuring you understand them is even 

more important and even those of us who 

have been in the industry for a very long 

time are having to clarify several points 

with the Ministry of Business, Innovation 

and Employment. 

So, let’s start with what tenancies the 

new legislation affects as there is a lot of 

confusion out there. The rule of thumb is – 

If the tenancy is a Fixed Term which began 

prior to 11 February 2021 then the old 

rules apply. If the tenancy began on or after 

11 February 2021 then the amendments 

are in force. 

However, if the tenancy is a Periodic 

Tenancy they automatically revert to 

the new rules. We were not sure if an 

existing tenancy which is extended after 

11 February 2021 would revert to the new 

rules, or stay on the same rules, however 

it has just been clarified that any renewal 

or extension, even if there are no other 

variations (like a rent increase), will still be 

classed as a variation to the initial tenancy 

and therefore will revert to the new rules. 

Essentially this will mean that most 

tenancies will revert to the new legislation 

over the next 12 months. 

Of course, the importance of understanding 

alternatively, organise a garage sale and 

sell them there. 

At your new house...It’s not unusual for 

people to sell their current home while 

not having bought another one. In this 

case, you might want to rent for a short 

period while you search for your dream 

downsizer. It can mean paying extra money 

in rent but it also gives you a chance to 

explore the region and find exactly the 

right place to suit you. Depending on the 

size of the rental, you may also be able to 

cram your family furniture and other bits 

and pieces into a spare room while you’re 

house hunting, which will save cash on 

storage space. Above all else, enjoy your 

different lifestyle as a downsizer – and if 

you’ve moved to the beach or bush, don’t 

be surprised at your newfound popularity 

with your children, especially during the 

holidays!

when the new rules apply to existing 

tenancies is so that you are aware of the 

required notice periods you can give 

tenants to end a tenancy and whether you 

need to adhere to the new, or old rules.

head around, as always, please feel free to

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- 

12pm. So give Kevin a call on 982 

4268, or pop in and he will be happy 

to help with all your vehicle servicing 

needs.
