Santa’s toy-makers in<br />
need of a new home<br />
• By Natalie Pham<br />
VOLUNTEER elves have given<br />
thousands of wooden toys to<br />
many deserving children across<br />
Canterbury for 50 years.<br />
But this year the volunteers<br />
at the Santa Claus Workshop<br />
Charitable Trust are hoping<br />
their wish for a permanent<br />
home will come true.<br />
The hunt for a new premises<br />
began in December last year<br />
after the technology block at<br />
Shirley Intermediate School was<br />
demolished. It was home to the<br />
workshop for almost 10 years.<br />
Since then, many volunteers<br />
have been working from home<br />
to get about 1100 handmade<br />
toys ready for the festive season.<br />
From cars to wheelbarrows<br />
and wooden chairs to cots for<br />
dolls, they craft a wide range<br />
of toys using high-quality<br />
timber. While some only take<br />
a few hours to complete, more<br />
intricate toys can take up to 20<br />
hours.<br />
Trust chairman Stewart Williams<br />
said the workshop’s elves<br />
might not be able to produce<br />
the toys next year if they cannot<br />
find a new home. In the worst<br />
case, the trust could be forced to<br />
take a break from toymaking.<br />
“We really don’t have much<br />
option. We’re still actively looking<br />
with the council, but we<br />
haven’t had much luck to date,”<br />
Williams said.<br />
“It’s not practical going forward<br />
from our perspectives . . .<br />

various toys are made by more<br />
than one person, so it’s not just<br />
the matter of cutting it out with<br />
a jigsaw or something like that.”<br />
The search for a new site has<br />
been difficult – but Williams<br />
said the trust is not alone.<br />
“I know most volunteer<br />
groups are also struggling with<br />
the same issue.”<br />
In August last year, the workshop<br />
was offered a vacant site<br />
at 280 Westminster St by the<br />
city council. However, the site<br />
was vandalised beyond repair a<br />
week before the equipment and<br />
tools were moved in.<br />
Said Williams: “They trashed<br />
the place, smashed all windows,<br />
and tore out all the wiring.<br />
Basically made the building<br />
uninhabitable.<br />
“It restricted us from being<br />
able to support people that need<br />

help in our society. We just want<br />
to be able to make toys to make<br />
kids happy.”<br />
City council head of city<br />
growth and property Bruce<br />
Rendall said it has tried to help<br />
the trust find a new home.<br />
“Unfortunately, the council<br />
has few vacant buildings and<br />
those it does have are generally<br />
being held for broader site<br />
redevelopment, such as park<br />
enhancements.”<br />

New safety platforms among<br />
raft of proposed improvements<br />
• By Natalie Pham<br />
PROPOSED changes for a busy<br />
intersection in Shirley are a<br />
step closer after a heated debate<br />
among community board<br />
members.<br />
The Waitai Coastal-Burwood-<br />
Linwood Community Board had<br />
to undergo additional discussion<br />
before giving the green light to<br />
the safety improvement proposal<br />
for the Briggs/Marshland/Lake<br />
Terrace Rds intersection.<br />
It came after a number of<br />
board members expressed<br />
concern about raised safety platforms<br />
on all approaches to the<br />
intersection, which was among<br />
the proposed changes.<br />
Raised platforms are a traffic<br />
calming measure to reduce the<br />
speed of vehicles entering an<br />
intersection to 30km/h.<br />
They were first installed<br />
in Christchurch at the busy<br />
intersection of Lincoln Rd, Barrington<br />
Rd and Whiteleigh Ave,<br />
but the city council is proposing<br />
to use raised platforms at other<br />
high-risk intersections.<br />
City council senior transportation<br />
engineer Gemma Dioni said<br />
they would be a key tool in the<br />
Road to Zero strategy.<br />
“From a system perspective, we<br />
CHANGES: New traffic calming measures are proposed for the intersection of Marshland,<br />
Briggs and Lake Terrace Rds.<br />
PHOTO: STAR NEWS<br />
are trying to reduce the number<br />
of death and serious injury<br />
crashes on our network,” Dioni<br />
said.<br />
Other proposed changes<br />
include a new traffic island, kerb<br />
extensions and a new cycle lane<br />
on Lake Terrace Rd.<br />
With five out of nine board<br />
members giving the proposal the<br />
thumbs up, it is now awaiting<br />
the approval of the Waipapa<br />
Papanui-Innes-Central Community<br />
Board, as Briggs Rd is part<br />
of the Innes Ward.<br />
If both boards approve it,<br />
construction is expected to start<br />
in May next year.<br />
At the meeting on Monday,<br />
Linwood Ward city councillor<br />
Yani Johanson voted against the<br />
proposal and questioned potential<br />
damage to vehicles from the<br />
raised platforms.<br />
“Because the one at Lincoln<br />
[Addington] is pretty bad. People<br />
don’t expect them,” he said.<br />
There have been complaints<br />
from drivers on social media<br />
after the bottom of their vehicles<br />
were scraped by the new safety<br />
platforms at the Lincoln Rd<br />
intersection.<br />
Burwood Ward city councillor<br />
Kelly Barber was also not<br />
in favour of the raised safety<br />
platforms<br />
“Road to Zero is an admirable<br />
goal. It’s very easy to achieve if<br />
we drive everywhere at 20km/h.<br />
But I don’t think in our society, it<br />
is practical.<br />
“I think these are the sort of<br />
intersection changes that give<br />
council a bad name.”<br />
However, deputy chairperson<br />
Jackie Simons said the raised<br />
platforms are not going to damage<br />
vehicles if drivers slow down.<br />
“I actually go through the Lincoln<br />
Rd intersection every week.<br />
This is about drivers’ education.<br />
“They’ve been used all over the<br />
country. It’s new to Christchurch,<br />
it’s new to us. But they are<br />
a good system that does slow the<br />
traffic down.”<br />
There have been four serious<br />
injury crashes in the last 10 years<br />
at the Shirley intersection.<br />
City council staff has identified<br />
red light running, right turning<br />
traffic failing to give way, and<br />
right-angle crashes being the<br />
most significant crash problems.<br />
There is also a high collective<br />
and medium high personal risk at<br />
this intersection as it has a death<br />
and serious injury score of 1.86.<br />
Collective risk refers to the<br />
number of fatal and serious<br />
crashes per kilometre or within a<br />
set distance of an intersection.<br />
While personal risk refers to<br />
the likelihood of an individual<br />
being involved in a fatal or<br />
serious crashes per million<br />
vehicle kilometre travelled.<br />

For birds’ sake, keep dogs off mudflats<br />
Avon-<br />
Heathcote<br />
Estuary<br />
Ihutai Trust<br />
manager<br />
Tanya<br />
Jenkins<br />
writes about issues with<br />
dogs<br />
IN 2018, the Avon-Heathcote<br />
Estuary was classified as a<br />
wetland of “international<br />
importance”. A prestigious and<br />
well-deserved title indeed.<br />
Did you know that 149 different<br />
bird species have been<br />
identified in the estuary? Or that<br />
the estuary and nearby oxidation<br />
ponds host a number of endemic<br />
bird species, which are classified<br />
as vulnerable, declining and/or<br />
endangered?<br />
Who does not enjoy watching<br />
the spoonbills sifting water for<br />
food, observing cormorants sitting<br />
along the edge with wings<br />
spread, drying their feathers,<br />
seeing the black and white oystercatchers<br />
digging for cockles or<br />
the godwits looking for worms?<br />
Or perhaps you enjoy watching<br />
the kingfishers perched on rocks<br />
and tree branches, ready to dive<br />
down for a “crab dinner”.<br />
Few people realise that some<br />
birds can only feed when the<br />
mudflats are not covered by<br />
water during low tide – when<br />
their mud source is accessible.<br />
SMALL WINDOW: Dogs off lead are chasing birds (and have killed penguins), disturbing their feeding patterns.<br />
Whereas other birds will be able<br />
to feed at low tide during the<br />
night, not all birds can. So, the<br />
combination of daylight and exposed<br />
mudflats provide the only<br />
window – for a few hours – for<br />
these birds to feed.<br />
This is also the time many<br />
dog owners enjoy walking along<br />
the estuary. And fair enough,<br />
as dogs love to run around, and<br />
dog owners enjoy the freedom<br />
of space to let their four-legged<br />
friends off the lead.<br />
However, the birds see people’s<br />
pets as predators and aim to stay<br />
well clear of them.<br />
When dogs are on lead being<br />
exercised along paths and walking<br />
tracks, this does not pose any<br />
issues. When dogs are let off lead<br />
to run around the mudflats and,<br />
even worse, allowed to chase<br />
birds, this becomes an absolute<br />
disaster.<br />
The estuary trust has conducted<br />
multiple surveys and<br />
observations of bird behaviour<br />
to gain ample evidence and concluded<br />
that, when birds see a dog<br />
running around, the birds will<br />
stop feeding and fly away.<br />
It can take up to 45 minutes<br />
for birds to regain confidence to<br />
settle down again and continue<br />
feeding.<br />
When this disturbance happens<br />
once or twice during a<br />
low tide the birds will have lost<br />
the chance to feed, as the tide<br />
returns to cover their feeding<br />
ground, and they will go hungry<br />
for the day.<br />
When this happens a few<br />
days in a row it means no food<br />
to gather, so no food for their<br />
chicks. No food means weight<br />
loss and, for migratory waterbirds,<br />
not enough strength come<br />
winter to fly to warmer areas<br />
like the North Island, Australia<br />
or beyond – across the world to<br />
Alaska in the godwits’ case.<br />
So please, dog owners, we are<br />
asking you to consider one of the<br />
reasons our estuary is unique is<br />
because of its stunning bird life.<br />
But our shorebirds are disappearing,<br />
with numbers declining every<br />
year. Keep dogs off the mudflats<br />
and on the lead when walking<br />
along the estuary. There are ample<br />
red zone areas and dog parks in<br />
Christchurch where your furry<br />
friends can run around, have fun,<br />
and chase a stick or ball – where<br />
they do not disturb birds. Let’s<br />
work together on this to keep our<br />
estuary a wetland of “international<br />
importance”.<br />
If you are not a dog owner<br />
or are a responsible dog owner<br />
and you see offenders – where<br />
dogs are off lead and not under<br />
effective control – then please<br />
note the details, such as the<br />
location, time and date, and<br />
report this to the city council<br />
for dog control officers to<br />
follow up.<br />
Do you suffer from<br />
dizziness, vertigo or BPPV?<br />
These issues can be treated with vestibular<br />
physiotherapy.<br />
Vestibular rehabilitation therapy is a specialised<br />
form of therapy, in which physiotherapists<br />
work to improve symptoms of dizziness and the<br />
balance problems that can occur with vestibular<br />
dysfunction. Balance problems and dizziness can<br />
all be treated very effectively.<br />
Our team of experienced physiotherapists<br />
have all completed internationally recognised<br />
competency courses in Vestibular Rehabilitation.<br />

WE HAVE<br />
MOVED!<br />
SEASONS GREETINGS FROM<br />
HOUSE OF TRAVEL MERIVALE-SHIRLEY<br />
YOUR LOCAL TRAVEL EXPERTS.<br />
233 Papanui Road,<br />
Merivale (next door<br />
to Coffee<br />
Culture)<br />
Another year has rolled by with Christmas just around the corner. It has been a<br />
crazy, busy year for all of us in the travel industry.<br />
After two years of almost no international travel it is safe to say that when the<br />
borders opened in April this year things went a bit mad!! At House of Travel<br />
we have never experienced such a rush from our community looking for an<br />
overseas holiday.<br />
Many of you have asked, how on earth did we survive Covid and there is no sugar<br />
coating that situation, it was tough. But survive we did and now we are making up<br />
for lost time! Travel agents (& unfortunately there are less of us around now…) are<br />
in high demand so we have been working tirelessly around the clock to meet the<br />
demand we are facing. Thank you to those who have stuck with us and showed<br />
their patience while we navigate this ever changing environment.<br />
Some of you may be aware but we recently moved locations - we are still in the<br />
Merivale Village, but now just a bit further down the road, at 233 Papanui Road<br />
(next door to Coffee Culture). Normally you can get a park right outside the<br />
office which is a definite bonus (but beware from 3pm it turns into a bus lane). Our<br />
opening hours are currently Monday to Friday 9am until 5pm.<br />
Our team has also grown with the need to upstaff due to the demand for our<br />
services. Now we have our existing consultants, Janine Mckay and Kelly Gainsford.<br />
Plus, recently joined is Teresa Hodge (ex House of Travel Invercargill) and Julia<br />
Metcalfe in a sales support role.<br />
All of our team are very experienced consultants, extremely well-travelled and<br />
passionate about what they do.<br />
For the next couple of years we expect travel will remain in high demand and for<br />
this reason we recommend you book as early as you can to secure your holiday.<br />
Many of the Pacific Islands and the popular resorts are booking up at least one<br />
year (or more) in advance. Europe sales are going through the roof for 2023<br />
and we do not anticipate this will slow down anytime soon. While we have been<br />
hopeful of special sale fares from the airlines, they too are recovering from<br />
the covid downturn and we are unlikely to see as many “deals” as we did<br />
pre-covid.<br />
So, we do recommend that you get in touch with us about your next holiday,<br />
whenever and wherever that may be. Or, if you are out of<br />
ideas come in and have a chat and we can hopefully find<br />
something to inspire you.<br />
In the meantime we wish you<br />
the very best Christmas and<br />
New Year and here’s to a<br />
nice, hot summer ahead.<br />

The Cecilian Singers celebrate 40 years<br />
ALTHOUGH NOW in their<br />
42nd year, The Cecilian Singers<br />
are celebrating the 40th<br />
anniversary of the choir, with a<br />
special concert at The Piano on<br />
<strong>November</strong> 26.<br />
An equal voice choir for<br />
women, The Cecilian Singers<br />
was founded in 1981 by Nan Anderson.<br />
It is an auditioned choir<br />
with a varied repertoire, ranging<br />
from medieval to modern, both<br />
sacred and secular.<br />
The choir quickly established<br />
a national reputation with<br />
broadcasts on Radio New<br />
Zealand and Praise Be.<br />
It has also recorded two CDs<br />
that went to No. 1 on Concert<br />
NZ Classical Hits. Works by<br />
New Zealand composers, some<br />
especially commissioned, are<br />
frequently performed and the<br />
choir has twice travelled to<br />
Australia to showcase New<br />
Zealand music.<br />
There has always been an<br />
emphasis on supporting local<br />
musicians and encouraging<br />
outstanding talent. Featured<br />
artists have included Teddy<br />
Tahu Rhodes, Ann Lamont<br />
Lowe, Louisa Pilkington,<br />
Helen Charlton, and many<br />
instrumentalists who have gone<br />
on to NZSO or international<br />
careers.<br />
Over the past 40 years, the<br />
Cecilians have performed at<br />
least 100 times at concerts, plus<br />
events like weddings and music<br />
festivals. Events range from<br />
poetry and music at the Old<br />
Municipal Chambers, to singing<br />
in Hebrew with the Washington<br />
Women’s Choir at the Great<br />
Hall.<br />
They have performed at many<br />
iconic Christchurch venues that<br />
were casualties of the February<br />
22, 2011 earthquake – the<br />
Provincial Council Chambers, St<br />
Luke’s Church, the Music Centre<br />
Chapel and The Chapel of St<br />
John of God in Halswell.<br />
The choir has been fortunate<br />
to have worked under the baton<br />
of only four music directors in<br />
its history. Nan Anderson, who<br />
received the QSM in 2020 for<br />
services to choral music, was the<br />
director for 27 years. Anderson<br />
was followed by Jean Cumming,<br />
Rosemary Allison and the<br />
current director, renowned<br />
contralto Rosemary Turnbull.<br />
As has been the case for so<br />
many organisations, the choir’s<br />
original plans for celebrating<br />
the milestone were disrupted<br />
by Covid-19, resulting in<br />
three cancellations of planned<br />
concerts. The celebration on<br />
Saturday will be the culmination<br />
of two years of planning,<br />
rehearsing, and waiting.<br />
It will offer traditional and<br />
modern classical compositions<br />
(Brahms, Britten and Orban)<br />
and a piece by NZ composer<br />
David Hamilton. The choir will<br />
be accompanied by pianist Sarah<br />
Kang, harpist Helen Webby and<br />
horns Emma Eden and Bernard<br />
Shapiro.<br />
JOYOUS: The Celician Singers choir has been performing<br />
for more than four decades.<br />
All welcome for a cuppa at Braintree<br />
BRAINTREE, the first wellness<br />
centre of its kind in New<br />
Zealand to support people with<br />
neurological conditions, is<br />
holding an open day in Papanui<br />
on Saturday.<br />
The centre at 70 Langdons Rd<br />
will be open to the public from<br />
10am to noon.<br />
“We have had such positive<br />
feedback from everyone attending<br />
either an activity or support<br />
session since we opened in June<br />
this year, we want to give the<br />
public the chance to see just how<br />
special this facility is and why<br />
it is earning such high praise,”<br />
BrainTree general manager Phil<br />
Marshall-Lee said.<br />
“We hope people will pop in,<br />
have a look around and enjoy a<br />
coffee.”<br />
BrainTree is the new home for<br />
Dementia Canterbury, Multiple<br />
Sclerosis and Parkinson’s Canterbury,<br />
the Southern Stroke<br />
Foundation, Southern Music<br />
Therapy, Aspire Canterbury and<br />
Adult Conductive Education<br />
Trust.<br />
“The centre is already making<br />
life so much better for the many<br />
people living in the community<br />
with neurological conditions,”<br />
Marshall-Lee said.<br />
Conditions such as Multiple<br />
Sclerosis, Parkinson’s and<br />
dementia are progressive, and<br />
while some people become<br />
severely disabled, most can<br />
live with relatively moderate<br />
symptoms for longer periods of<br />
time. The wellness centre is a key<br />
component to ensuring those affected<br />
can still live a full life after<br />
a diagnosis of a neurological<br />
condition.<br />
Marshall-Lee said the centre<br />
is equipped with a gym, studio,<br />
cafe and meeting spaces for individual<br />
or group use, as well as<br />
being a place to share and learn<br />
from real-life experiences, take<br />
part in activity support groups<br />
and access specialist well-being<br />
services. It can also host conferences<br />
for up to 80 people, with<br />
all inquiries welcome.<br />
The $8 million complex is the<br />
culmination of a huge community<br />
effort since Dementia Canterbury,<br />
and Multiple Sclerosis and<br />
Parkinson’s Canterbury joined<br />
forces in 2017 in the Canterbury<br />
Brain Collective, a registered<br />
charity, to build a home for the<br />
two societies.<br />
The cost has been almost<br />
entirely funded by private<br />
individuals, businesses and community<br />
trusts in Christchurch.<br />
The donors, many of whom have<br />
known someone personally affected,<br />
have opened their hearts<br />
and contributed generously, all<br />
sharing the vision of creating<br />
BrainTree, Marshall-Lee said.<br />
“The team at BrainTree wishes<br />
to thank everyone for their<br />
support.”<br />

so well, leaving you more time to imagine what your life would be like living there. Rest assured there is still room<br />
to improve this HOME and being commercially zoned 36a London Street is a secure investment.<br />

14 DRIFTWOOD LANE | RECORD SALE | $2,162,500<br />
As an owner in the area, we thought you may like an update on our latest sale near you. The HOME at 14 Driftwood<br />
Lane was an instant hit online, reaching over 181,899 potential buyers through social media alone and even more<br />
across real estate platforms.<br />
As soon as the HOME went live on the market we had enquiries coming through thick and fast! This HOME brought<br />
potential buyers from across the country who had this at the top of their wishlist for a number of years, and had<br />
been waiting for the day it would come to the market.<br />
We had over 65 groups through during the first two weeks which resulted in an early offer our vendors were all to<br />
happy to cancel the auction for. With a record end result at $482,500 over the highest sale ever achieved in<br />
Waimairi Beach and $1,342,500 above GV, our owners are thrilled with the outcome and our new buyers are ready<br />
to make this HOME their very own.<br />
Whether it be to use your existing HOME as leverage to complete the renovation you have dreamed of, purchase<br />
an investment or holiday home, or merely know what you’re sitting on for your retirement. Whatever your plans<br />
are, we are here to help you on your journey whenever you may need us. For friendly, genuine advice, contact a<br />
HOME specialist today.<br />
