THAT’S A WRAP: Birthright Canterbury connect and learn volunteer co-ordinator Loraine van der Colff, of<br />
Northwood, helps out at Birthright Canterbury’s annual Toy Day. <br />
co-ordinator Loraine van der<br />
Colff said she loves seeing<br />
the joy the day brings to local<br />
families.<br />
“People are always very<br />
grateful to be able to receive<br />
gifts for their children,” the<br />
Northwood resident said.<br />
“They walk out with<br />
big smiles and are very<br />
appreciative.”<br />

Plans to<br />
upgrade<br />
recreation<br />
area to be<br />
opened for<br />
discussion<br />
• By Fiona Ellis<br />
PLANS TO upgrade a popular<br />
outdoor recreation area are set to<br />
be opened for public feedback in<br />
the new year.<br />
The Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />
Harewood Community Board<br />
approved the release of the city<br />
council’s Roto Kohatu Reserve<br />
draft reserve management plan at<br />
a meeting on Monday.<br />
The Sawyers Arms Rd site has<br />
a high number of annual visitors<br />
who use the reserve, which contains<br />
two lakes, for watersports,<br />
swimming and picnics.<br />
Board chairwoman Bridget<br />
Williams said the reserve was<br />
popular but needed to keep pace<br />
with demand.<br />
“It’s a wonderful resource and<br />
well used by the community . . .<br />
but some planning and development<br />
defiantly needs to happen,”<br />
Williams said.<br />
“It’s something that has been on<br />
the board’s radar for a long time.”<br />
From late January 2022 until<br />
late March 2022 the city council<br />
will consult the public on how<br />
the site should be used, with the<br />
draft plan stating increasing usage<br />
means greater competition for<br />
different uses.<br />
Multiple sports facility<br />
buildings are being considered at<br />
locations across the reserve.<br />

Love of carting rolls on<br />
MALCOLM Johnson is keeping<br />
the wheels turning on a hobby<br />
that has interested him since<br />
childhood.<br />
The Kevin Hickman Retirement<br />
Village resident supplies<br />
charities with handmade racing<br />
carts for kids.<br />
He has already built 17 of<br />
them in the past five years, the<br />
more recent models made in the<br />
garage of his retirement village<br />
townhouse.<br />
In Taranaki, where Johnson<br />
grew up, he remembers every<br />
kid had access to a cart.<br />
Races were a regular feature<br />
in a youngster’s summer, and<br />
also a hobby encouraged by<br />
the scouting movement, which<br />
both he and wife Margaret were<br />
involved in.<br />
“All country kids had carts,<br />
even though they were depleted<br />
looking structures,” Johnson<br />
said.<br />
“We couldn’t get wheels<br />
. . . we used to pinch the<br />
wheels off lawnmowers and<br />
later put them back on.”<br />
Now his search for<br />
modern-day equivalent<br />
parts usually takes place in<br />
secondhand goods stores,<br />
such as the EcoShop on<br />
Blenheim Rd.<br />
He buys pushchairs and<br />
toddler’s buggies, so he can<br />
utilise the wheels and frames<br />
with other components to<br />
make a quality cart.<br />
Charities that have benefited<br />
from his work include the Cholmondeley<br />
Children’s Centre<br />
and the Women’s Refuge, as<br />
well as children’s fund-raising<br />
efforts.<br />
To help pay for the ongoing<br />
projects, Johnson relies on supporters,<br />
such as fellow members<br />
of the Pegasus Daylight Lodge,<br />
which he belongs to.<br />
The completed carts, painted<br />
by a friend, Jimmy Roscoe, are<br />
brightly coloured and solid.<br />
However, given the enthusiastic<br />
play of<br />
HANDMADE: Malcolm<br />
Johnson is keeping the<br />
wheels turning on a hobby<br />
that has interested him<br />
since childhood.<br />
youngsters, sometimes repairs<br />
are necessary.<br />
Johnson is enthused about life<br />
and helping others, and one of<br />
his retirement projects has been<br />
to assist those less fortunate.<br />
Overall, he feels sorry that<br />
society is divided into haves<br />
and have-nots.<br />
“I’ve always wanted<br />
fairness for all<br />
people, coupled<br />
with absolute<br />
enthusiasm for<br />
anything<br />
I’ve believed<br />

came to New Zealand for.”<br />

CHURCH<br />
St Mary’s Church Merivale<br />
is set to benefit from two<br />
grants approved by the<br />

Community Board this week<br />
from its discretionary response<br />
fund. A grant of $6000 will go<br />
towards children and youth<br />
community worker wages, and a<br />
grant of $10,000 will go towards<br />
wages for the The Corner<br />

PEDESTRIAN CROSSING<br />
FEEDBACK CLOSED<br />
A proposal for pedestrian<br />
crossing points to be installed<br />
in Langdons Rd closed for<br />
public feedback on Monday,<br />
with 36 submissions received<br />
by the city council. A report on<br />
the pedestrian islands will be<br />

We were so impressed with Cameron and his team, we knew we were in<br />
great hands with their professionalism and amazing organisational skills.<br />
Everything ran so smoothly and efficiently. Cameron certainly knows what<br />
was happening with the market at the time we had our house listed and<br />
this was a huge part of us selling our home with him and our successful sale.<br />
A huge thank you to Cameron and his amazing team Sam and Lisa, I would<br />

Upgrades could include slipway<br />
• From page 1<br />
“There has been a lack of planning<br />
to accommodate the demand<br />
for club facilities,” the draft plan<br />
stated.<br />
At one of the two lakes – Rua –<br />
rubble may be cleared and a beach<br />
created at the northern end, and a<br />
slipway and jetty may be installed.<br />
Fishing structures around the<br />
lake will be removed although<br />
selected fishing platforms may<br />
remain.<br />
At Lake Tahi, and an extended<br />
canoe polo area and additional<br />
car parking is proposed.<br />
Additional walking tracks, road<br />
upgrades and wildlife planting are<br />
also being considered.<br />
A hearings panel will hear<br />
any submissions that are<br />
received on the management<br />
plan, decide the extent to which<br />
comments are accepted or not,<br />
and make recommendations to<br />
the community board on the<br />
adoption of the final plan<br />
A budget and time frame to<br />
carry out the changes have not<br />
been set.<br />
CHANGES: Plans are under<br />

Reserve in order to keep<br />
pace with public usage<br />
at the popular outdoor<br />

Baking and<br />
gifts that cater<br />
for all ages<br />
• From page 1<br />
In spite of Covid-19 causing<br />
financial difficulties for many this<br />
year, the Toy Day appeal saw Cantabrians<br />
supporting the cause with<br />
hundreds of donated gifts for local<br />
families.<br />
Items were donated from local<br />
businesses and service clubs,<br />
former Birthright children, community<br />
members and charities.<br />
They include presents for all<br />
ages, festive baking, and gift packs<br />
for adults.<br />
In accordance with pandemic<br />
protocols, parents were invited to<br />
visit Christchurch Community<br />
House at appointed times and were<br />
given 30 minutes each to select<br />
gifts for their children.<br />
Birthright Canterbury trust<br />
manager Rhodora Sagles said the<br />
community once again went above<br />
and beyond to give to Birthright<br />
families.<br />
“It just shows the generosity from<br />
the local community,” Sagles said.<br />
“Everybody who donates, or<br />
volunteers, just wants to see a child<br />
happy and smiling on Christmas<br />
Day.”<br />
A recipient said Toy Day meant<br />
so much to her family.<br />
“There are kids in the world who<br />
don’t have anything at Christmas<br />
… so to be able to have presents on<br />
Christmas morning is so special<br />
and it shows people care about us.”<br />

SANTA’S HELPERS: Martin Thompson leads the Santa<br />
Claus Workshop Charitable Trust in making toys to donate<br />
to children. Above, Andrew Grant (left), Alistair McDonald<br />
and Neil Pugh are already making toys for next Christmas<br />

Keeping the tradition of wooden toys alive<br />
• By Fiona Ellis<br />
CHRISTMAS IS fast<br />
approaching, but the elves in<br />
Santa’s Workshop are reluctant<br />
to down tools for the holidays.<br />
Co-ordinator Martin<br />
Thompson leads volunteers,<br />
handcrafting wooden toys for<br />
donation to children who might<br />
not otherwise receive a gift from<br />
Santa, from the technology block<br />
at Shirley Intermediate school.<br />
With around 1000 toys now<br />
awaiting the big day, Santa Claus<br />
Workshop Charitable Trust is<br />
taking a break until the school<br />
opens again on January 31.<br />
However, Thompson plans to<br />
keep working at home.<br />
“I’ve probably got 10 boxes of<br />
toys to be painted. I’m doing it<br />
over the holidays and some of<br />
the other guys will be doing the<br />
same,” the 70 year-old said.<br />
In addition to several off-site<br />
workers, the group has a core<br />
of 10 regulars who attend the<br />
workshop twice a week, mostly<br />
retirees.<br />
“All these guys are keen to<br />
come back, they would come all<br />
over the holidays if we let them.”<br />
The toys will be distributed to<br />
families by organisations such as<br />
the Mayor’s Welfare Fund and<br />
children’s charity Pillars.<br />
From trains to tractors and<br />
from penguins to gorillas, a wide<br />
range of toys are crafted using<br />
top-quality pine.<br />
Plastics and metals were<br />
avoided, and dowelling rods<br />
were used to turn wheels. The<br />
quality evoked toys from his own<br />
childhood, Thompson said.<br />
Even if left outside, the toys<br />
would still last 10 years.<br />
A builder by trade, Thompson<br />
said his involvement in Santa’s<br />
workshop felt like coming full<br />
circle.<br />
“I love playing with wood,<br />
but it didn’t end up that way – I<br />
ended up playing with concrete.<br />
Now I’m back to playing with<br />
wood.”<br />
Thompson is taking over the<br />
reins from Malcolm Westgarth,<br />
“a good man” who passed away<br />
last month after 18 years with<br />
Santa’s workshop.<br />
Thompson has been a part of<br />
the workshop for eight years.<br />
“I got involved because my<br />
wife decided that I needed<br />
something to do in early parts of<br />
retirement.<br />
“I came along here with a<br />
Thermos flask one day and they<br />
just got me painting.”<br />
Creating toys from scratch<br />
could be a complicated process,<br />
as it took weeks to craft small details<br />
and perfect the paintwork.<br />
This was especially so in the case<br />
of the toys that moved, such as a<br />
rolling gorilla.<br />
“There’s lots of moving parts.<br />
We’ve got a leg, we’ve got a<br />
shoulder, we’ve got three wheels,”<br />
Thompson said.<br />
Woodwork came as second<br />
nature to him, but painting the<br />
toys was more difficult, requiring<br />
time and precision.<br />
“There’s a lot of satisfaction when you see a toy finished<br />
. . . it’s worth it.” – Martin Thompson<br />
The Covid-19 pandemic also<br />
posed a difficulty to the volunteers.<br />
“When I came here in 2014, I<br />
think we were making close to<br />
1400 [toys], but of course with<br />
Covid-19 we were shut for five<br />
weeks this year. Last year was<br />
similar, we were cut down a lot.”<br />
Lockdown happened so<br />
quickly they were unable to take<br />
unfinished toys with them to<br />
continue working from home.<br />
The toys the group were currently<br />
crafting were all for next<br />
Christmas.<br />
Toys for this Christmas were<br />
collected from the workshop in<br />
November by Lions Club members,<br />
who then co-ordinated the<br />
donations.<br />
This meant the volunteers did<br />
not often see the responses of the<br />
children, but they had received<br />
heartwarming feedback in the<br />
past, Thompson said.<br />
He had been told of a boy who<br />
was overwhelmed to learn he<br />
could keep his toy and said he<br />
had never been given a present<br />
before.<br />
Another time, he gave a toy<br />
truck to a family with a boy<br />
and a girl. The girl sent him a<br />
thank-you letter containing three<br />
M&Ms.<br />
“I’d given it to her little<br />
brother, but she said ‘thank you<br />
very much for the toy, I will get<br />
the most use out of it’.”<br />
All toys were popular, but the<br />
volunteers tweaked their range<br />
each year. The intricate toy sewing<br />
machines would not be made<br />
next year.<br />
However, Thompson had a<br />
new design for “gorgeous” stacking<br />
tower blocks, and toy boats<br />
were also being made.<br />
New volunteers were welcome<br />
and no background in woodwork<br />
was necessary, although<br />
those involved tended to be good<br />
with their hands.<br />
Santa’s other volunteers<br />
included Alistair McDonald, a<br />
former woodwork teacher who<br />
joined six months ago because<br />
he enjoyed the sense of purpose,<br />
and Sandy Foster, who had<br />
worked in farming and in the<br />

GENEROSITY: Ian<br />

other council<br />
rangers gifting<br />
him his e-bike.<br />

NEWSLINE <br />
‘Absolute legend’ receives e-bike for volunteer work<br />
IAN MORRIS has been looking<br />
after Victoria Park’s visitor<br />
centre gardens for more than 20<br />
years as a volunteer ranger.<br />
Three days a week Ian slogs up<br />
Dyers Pass Rd on his push bike<br />
to tend to the gardens and his efforts<br />
have been recognised by his<br />
fellow park rangers.<br />
They surprised Ian with a new<br />
electric bike to help him with his<br />
ride to the park, describing him<br />
as an “absolute legend.”<br />
Delighted by the generosity<br />
of the gift, Ian named the bike<br />
Black Beauty before taking it for<br />
a quick spin.<br />
“I can get rid of all my old<br />
bikes now,’’ he said.<br />
Ranger Nigel Morritt, who<br />
works closely with Ian, told<br />
him the bike was a small thank<br />
you for all his years of hard<br />
work.<br />
“You’re a very important part<br />
of our little family up here,” he<br />
said.<br />
“You are an absolute legend.<br />
We just want to say thanks because<br />
you have done an awful lot<br />
of work for us and you are a very<br />
special person.’’<br />
City council parks programmes<br />
and partnerships<br />
manager Kate Russell said Ian<br />
has special intellectual needs but<br />
he has never let that slow him<br />
down and he’s an inspiration<br />
to the park rangers and other<br />
volunteers.<br />
“Like all of us, Ian isn’t getting<br />
any younger and it has been<br />
getting harder for him to make<br />
the ride up to Victoria Park,”<br />
she said. “He loves the routine<br />
of coming to the park and it’s<br />
really good for his well-being, so<br />
we decided it was time Ian went<br />
electric.”<br />
Russell said with an e-bike,<br />
Ian can remain part of the<br />
team at Victoria Park and<br />
stay connected to the cycling<br />
community on the Port Hills.<br />
Ian will still be able to ride up<br />
Dyers Pass Rd, but it will be<br />
gentler on his body.<br />
“The bike is Ian’s gateway to<br />
the world so having an e-bike<br />
will also make his day-to-day<br />
life easier and help him stay<br />
connected with his family,” said<br />
Russell.<br />
Russell said the park rangers<br />
set up a Givealittle page to<br />
raise money for the e-bike and<br />
persuaded Ecoquip NZ Ltd to<br />
donate an accessory package to<br />
go with it.<br />
A significant number of the<br />
donations received through the<br />
Givealittle page came from the<br />
mountain biking community<br />
who shared the campaign link<br />
on their social media networks.<br />

Students honoured in online prize-giving<br />
WITH THE help of technology,<br />
Rangi Ruru Girls’ School held an<br />
end of year prize-giving in spite<br />
of the Covid-19 pandemic.<br />
Principal Dr Sandra Hastie<br />
said the event, usually held in<br />
the Christchurch town hall with<br />
around 1200 people, was held in<br />
the school chapel, St Andrew’s<br />
Church.<br />
“Due to Covid-19 restrictions<br />
this year, we held two separate<br />
prizegivings in <strong>2021</strong>—one for<br />
juniors and one for seniors,”<br />
Hastie said.<br />
“All students and families were<br />
invited to watch these events<br />
via livestream, but only year 13<br />
students and prize-winners from<br />
other year groups attended in<br />
person.”<br />
Pre-recorded music and<br />
performing arts group performances<br />
were also screened.<br />
“The atmosphere was very<br />
much buzzing and we’ve had lots<br />
of positive feedback from our<br />
school community who were<br />
able to join the occasion – even<br />
if it needed to be via livestream<br />
this year.”<br />

Helping each<br />
other through<br />
COVID-19<br />
With more cases of COVID-19 in the community, it’s possible you and your whānau<br />
will be exposed to the virus. To make sure you’re ready, have a plan in case you or<br />
someone in your house tests positive and needs to isolate.<br />
Everyone who tests positive for COVID-19, and those who live with them, will need to<br />
isolate for at least 10 days to stop the spread of the virus. If someone else in your house<br />
tests positive for COVID-19, they’ll be advised how much longer they need to isolate.<br />
Make a plan<br />
If you’re travelling and away from home, know how you will<br />
get home or self isolate where you are.<br />
While isolating, you will need to have all of your food and<br />
necessities delivered. You cannot go to work, school, church<br />
or any community or private events or gatherings. No one<br />
outside of the people you live with can visit or enter the home.<br />
Most fully-vaccinated people with COVID-19 are likely to have<br />
a mild to moderate illness and will fully recover at home.<br />
Who can help out<br />
Be prepared in case you’re exposed to COVID-19. Speak with<br />
a neighbour, friend, or whānau about the support you could<br />
need. For instance, dropping off food and supplies, and help<br />
with activities outside the house. Being ready is about people,<br />
conversations, connections and knowing what to do, so your<br />
whānau and community can help each other when needed.<br />
Support while isolating<br />
It’s normal to feel anxious about isolating with COVID-19.<br />
You’ll have a support person who will contact you often<br />
to check that you and your whānau are safe and supported<br />
– even if you’re travelling and away from home. You will also<br />
get a telephone number for 24-hour health support.<br />
If you need more help or support to manage at home,<br />
you can access a COVID-19 welfare line.<br />
What you’ll need<br />
To help you get through, you will need to have food,<br />
medications and supplies available to you. Find a detailed<br />
checklist to help you prepare at Covid19.govt.nz/prepare<br />
Check what support is available for self-isolating at home<br />
