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.

it safer for pedestrians.

New site for church destroyed by arson
• By Bea Gooding
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

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

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
• By Bea Gooding
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.

Trust manager Malcolm
Westgarth and his helpers
make nearly 1000 wooden
toys by hand each year for
needy children.

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.

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.
Confused?

head around, as always, please feel free to

AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS
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

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.
