Mother spearheads bid for playground BY GABRIELLE STUART A Merivale mother-of-three has taken on the task of raising more than $70,000 to build a community playground. Charlotte Gray pledged to raise the money herself for playground equipment at Merivale Reserve, after she was told by city council staff that there were no funds available for it.
The Fendalton-Waimairi Community Board approved the plans for the playground on Rugby St, but said they didn’t have the money to fund any of the equipment. The community board approved plans for equipment in a second park in the ward last week, although they do not have funds for it. The plan to install public fitness equipment in Burnside Park, which
is also expected to cost around $70,000, has been put forward for community consultation. Community board chairwoman Val Carter said the city council process took a long time, so the board needed to plan in advance. She believed that funding would be found for the project, but said it would need to be allocated in longterm budgets.

“We’re in a catch 22 situation, because you really do need to keep planning and moving or nothing will happen.” She said the board might have been able to fund playground equipment at the Merivale Reserve, but it would probably have taken years. Mrs Gray said parents in the area were “crying out” for a playground. • Turn to page 3

Pupils show love for StarJam

McMaster Heap Veterinary practice
ANOTHER RESCUE AND REHOME Recently a young, white female mini lop rabbit was dropped off at the clinic, with a mangled right hind leg. She was so skinny and little weighing only 66 grams.She had been found up someone’s driveway obviously lost. She was friendly and despite her injuries, she was willing to eat and hop around.
In true McMaster & Heap style, we decided it would be in the rabbits’ best interests to hospitalise her and care for her until an owner came forward. We checked for a microchip. She was advertised with Pets on the Net and we contacted the SPCA. She appeared to be doing everyday things normally. We radiographed her sore hind leg and found she had a displaced proximal tibial fracture that wasn’t going to heal on its own. We attempted to splint the limb but quickly found out that splints slip off very quickly. After a week, when no-one had contacted us, we decided we must make a difference for this rabbit. Our nurse Kim, was very keen to keep her and the only surgical option available to us was amputation. We researched up amputating a hindleg and in most cases rabbits do better than removing a foreleg. Young rabbits seem to rehabilitate better and weight management is critical for success. A fat rabbit won’t ambulate as easily. Some potential problems can be hyper-extension or arthritis of the carpal ( wrist) joints in the frontlegs, loss of support on one side leading to dermatitis and infection of the opposite hindleg pads and obesity. Amputation is a good, safe option for severe bone fractures or hip dislocations, bone or soft tissue cancers, infection of the bone, severed tendon or ligament injuries.
Our little bunny was prepared for her big day in theatre. The anaesthetic can often be more risky than the procedure itself. We use a combination of anaesthetic and pain relief drugs given into the muscle and then the rabbit wears a face mask during the surgery, breathing in oxygen and anaesthetic gases. Keeping rabbits warm and their body temperature up is critical and this patient was severely underweight, making it harder to retain body heat. We injected warmed fluids under her skin, she lay on a heat pad and had hotties all around her, plus she was wrapped in wool. I amputated her leg high up, proximal femur region, as if you leave a long stump, they develop ulcers or bang the stump against objects as they walk.
UP AND DOWN: Pupils at Cotswold School jumped around last week to help raise money for young New Zealanders with disabilities. The school held a mufti day raising money for StarJam, a group which helps young people with disabilities to learn musical skills, and gives them opportunities to perform.

This wee rabbit was a real trouper throughout the surgery maintaining a good heart rate and blood pressure. She woke up quickly, eating within 30 minutes and moving around her cage amazingly. She is recuperating excellently with Kim at home and appears to have no difficulties moving around. For us it is rewarding being able to save “any life” whether it’s a client’s pet, our own furry friends or a stray animal bought into us. None of us should ignore an animal needing help, comfort or treatment. That’s where our team of health professionals are outstanding as they are all compassionate, kind, dedicated and willing to go that extra mile. They are also keen to add to their ever growing animal families to save a life. Thanks Kim!! DR Michele McMaster PS We have just started radio advertising on The Breeze and The Edge.

QE II gets nod for sports centre
Merivale mother spearheads bid for playground
BY GABRIELLE STUART The Eastern Recreation and Sport Centre is likely to be built on the former QE II site. Burwood-Pegasus Community Board members and ward councillors all said they would vote in support of the site next week. The site will then be put to the city council on September 11, for final approval. The QE II location was chosen as first preference by a Community Advisory Group appointed to look at the sites in detail. Their second preference was Rawhiti Domain, while Burwood Park and New Brighton were ranked third equal. The group included representatives from the community board and eight community and sports groups involved in the complex. Group spokesman Robert Jugovac said the QE II site rated highly for its accessibility, likelihood to enable wide participation, impact on social well-being, and the area available which will allow the facility to grow over time. A geotechnical survey and report will need to be done on the site before the plans for the building can be approved.
• From page 1 “Getting to a playground here is pretty much a halfday trip when you’ve got three kids. It’s a nightmare.” She is in the process of setting up an incorporated society with about 15 other parents in the area. She said they hoped to raise the money within a year, through community fundraising, donations and grants from charitable trusts. Once the funds are raised, the playground is expected to take about six weeks to build. The fundraising group will meet for the first time on Tuesday next week, from 7.30pm at the No. 4 Bar and Restaurant in Merivale. Mrs Gray said anyone interested in helping with the fundraising was welcome to attend the meeting. The group can be reached through their Facebook page, Merivale Reserve Playground.
EMPTY: The former QE II site, which has been selected as the preferred site for the new Eastern Recreation and Sport Centre. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN The site suffered bad liquefaction from the February 2011 earthquake and the QE II complex was eventually demolished. But city councillor David East said the same thing would need to
be done for most sites in the east. The advisory group is still working on a report outlining what they would like to see included in the complex. That is likely to be released next month.

So tell me about your vision for the Food Resilience Network? It’s to create a patchwork of food production across the city, and the greater Christchurch reSee We’re really wanting to see gion. Inside: much more localised food production. I know this isn’t the first of this type of initiative you’ve been involved in. When did you first get involved in community gardens? Well, in the late 1990s I became a co-ordinator of the Organic Garden City Trust, which had similar aims but the format was quite different. We had a lot to do with establishing gardens in primary schools, and basically promoting the concept of Christchurch as an organic garden city. I think the difference now is there is so much more public awareness. Back then Christchurch had 10 community gardens, and now there are almost 30 – and that’s not because of anything I’ve done, it’s just an indication of how much awareness of these issues is growing. 384 0600

There is a lot more excitement about it now, too. The idea of taking control of our food system and developing a really rich food culture has really captured people’s imaginations. I think the experience of the earthquakes also brought back to people the importance of having food in your garden, because if the fridge goes off or the supermarket runs out of food where are you going to turn? Gardens are obviously a passion for you – where did that passion come from? I don’t know where it came from, actually. I remember at university living in a flat with a huge garden, and I wasn’t even aware of it. I’m kind of ashamed of that now, because now my first question is always where is the garden? I did an organic growing

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN course at CPIT and I remember being amazed that my corn seeds grew, because I had this idea it would be really difficult to convince them to sprout. I was really lucky when I was a student to meet Bob Crowder, who was a lecturer at Lincoln, and he became a key mentor for me. It was a mixture of his enthusiasm and inspiration, and the quite deeply-seated ideas I already had about the silliness of our economic systems. I always thought it was crazy that a lot of people can’t eat healthy food because they can’t afford it, yet
food literally grows on trees. I met Bob while working at the St Martins supermarket, which was the first supermarket to have an organic section. I didn’t realise the significance of it then, but the owner of that store was very influential in the GE Free movement, and later I got into that world and I really, really loved it. I know you worked in supermarkets for a long time, balancing it with your work for community groups and local government – did those things work well together?

helps feed the city It’s a funny thing, but I quite like supermarkets. I know I’m meant to say I hate supermarkets and only shop at farmers markets. Supermarkets are a fascinating environment. They’re like the centre of culture, like the Ancient Agora in Athens – it’s the modern marketplace. As far as the local government stuff goes, I find it a fascinating world as well. I was on the Shirley-Papanui Community Board for just one term, and I found the most rewarding thing for me was meeting such a lot of people who were working in charities and organisations on the ground, making the most amazing change in their communities. Part of the reason I stopped was that I wanted to be more involved on the ground – but the main reason I stopped is that I got a full-time job at Canterbury University working in sustainability, which was something I have always been passionate about. I’ve heard a rumour you’re about to finish the job at the university? Yes, I’ve just resigned, so this is my last week working here. There’s a lot of work to do with the Food Resilience Network and that’s taking a lot of my time at the moment – we’ve got a couple of big events coming up, including an expo at the Botanic Gardens.
I’m also in the process of starting my own business, called The Urban Monk, which is about bringing delicious foods to the people of Christchurch. The Urban Monk is an interesting name. What inspired it? I’ve been experimenting with new monasticism, which is a global movement about taking the best aspects of the monastery and bringing them into the world, so we don’t have to go and separate ourselves. I have spent some times in traditional monasteries as well and I really liked it, but decided that I need to remain active because there are some really important social issues that I would like to be involved in. I’ve been involved in starting a monastery in South New Brighton, called the Monastery of Saints Sergius and Bacchus. It’s still very fledgling at the moment, because we’re still working out the routine and the rule. Essentially it’s an ordinary house – apart from being shaped like an octagon. Unfortunately, like many ordinary houses it has earthquake damage, so I’ll be out of it for four months pretty soon. I’ll be spending some time in Geraldine growing cabbages for sauerkraut, and also spending time with my parents, who are not very well. So what is it like, to live in a modern monastery? The point is to find peace and

equanimity for oneself, and to serve and help the world. So we do some of the traditional things – making candles, making bread, making champagne – all of those things and more. We have a weekly meeting for men who are interested in spirituality, and it’s also like an education centre for sustainability. I’ve been twice to Mt Athos in Greece, which is this great peninsula, very beautiful, dotted with about 20 monasteries. They’re all incredibly old and it’s a very peaceful, very earthy place. I loved it, but I still sometimes need to go out for beer, and to stay in touch with the world. Where did your interest in monasteries start? Well, there is a photo of me as a kid at a medieval day, and everyone is there as princes and princesses and I’m dressed as a monk. When I was painting and printmaking I often used a monk motif. I don’t know where it came from, it’s just something in me. For me it is the perfect antidote to the rampant consumerism of our culture. It’s about saying we don’t need all the junk we tend to collect, that just ends up in the landfill. Years ago a friend showed me a picture, and told me about Mt Athos. He said monks were hauled up the side of cliffs in baskets, he said, “Matt, you’ve

got to go, you’d love it”, and he was right. I never got hauled up the side of a cliff in a fishing basket, but I did love being there. So does being a modern monk mean you give up having a family? No. New monasticism doesn’t mean no sex, and it doesn’t mean no family, or wandering around in robes. It’s more about finding a place of peace and integrity. I have a partner, and we’re both involved in the movement. Were you born and bred in Christchurch? I was born in Invercargill, but we moved to Christchurch when I was one and I have lived here ever since. Do you have a favourite place here? I really like the area I grew up in, in St Martins, but I love being on the beach and I think New Brighton is a real gem – I think I may stay there for a while. Looking forward, do you have any long-term goals you would still like to achieve? At the moment I’m just focused on putting one foot in front of another and seeing where it goes. There isn’t this end result I’d like to get to, because I don’t really know where I’m headed. This week I’m just really looking forward to the new episode of Doctor Who – I’m really excited about that.

Railway line eyesore clean-up Railway lines will never compete with the Botanic Gardens – but the Papanui Rotary Club has done its best to turn an area along the rail line from Normans Rd to Northcote Rd into almost pristine grassland. Twenty-seven club members, family, friends and volunteers took part in the clean-up recently. The group also included nine university students. They are part of the Rotary university leaders initiative and sacrificed a day of study to help out. Health and safety was the most important component of the project. A risk management plan
was created, club spokesman Gary Denhard said. “A full safety briefing was held by KiwiRail. Each clean-up team had a dedicated spotter to manage their work alongside the track,” he said. “In the four years since the last clean-up, people who obviously don’t care about their community had deposited piles of rubbish including bags, paper, bottles, bike and car tyres and even damaged supermarket trolleys and chairs. “Now the locals can take their daily walk in much more pleasant surroundings.” said Mr Denhard.

INSPIRED: The group of young netballers with Irene van Dyk (back row, centre) at Rangi Ruru Girls’ School.
Netball great pays inspirational visit Former Silver Fern Irene van Dyk paid a visit to Christchurch last week, in her new role as the Tall Poppy Real Estate ambassador. First she visited Christchurch Netball Centre, where she spent two hours signing autographs and talking to players and parents. She then went to Rangi Ruru Girls’ School, where 27 young netballers from nine schools throughout Canterbury were waiting for a session covering advanced netball skills. The players ran through a range of drills and finished off with an inspirational talk from van Dyk. Tall Poppy regional manager, Rob Graves, organised the day’s activities. “At Tall Poppy Real Estate we are always looking to inspire young and enthusiastic players. We are so pleased to have Irene on board; she has an amazing ability to reach out to all players in the netball community,” he said. This event was the first of several that are planned, where van Dyk will take the time to teach and motivate these up-andcoming New Zealand netballers.
GATHERED: The crowds waiting to see Irene van Dyk at Christchurch Netball Centre.

Ali returns for prestigious New York festival Strowan mother-of-three Ali Harper is preparing to perform at a festival in New York. She has been invited to perform her solo show, Bombshells, at the United Solo Festival, and while there, will also perform at the New York Metropolitan Room and sing at a Broadway cast party at the Birdland Jazz Club. But far from being nervous about the performances, she said she was dreading leaving her teenage daughter and young sons. “I am dreading leaving the family, but that’s part of my job and it’s what I do. In that respect it’s similar to thousands of mums all around the country who have to work sometimes away from their families, but I guess this is a little different in so far as I am a “working mother on the road”, and next month, that’s 42nd Street in New York.” She knows the Bombshells show well, having performed it across New Zealand since 2007. She said there was a lot

The Burnside High School Environment Group has won an award for their work promoting sustainability. The group was presented with a Youth Leadership for Sustainability group award last week by Environment Canterbury and Te Runanga o Ngāi Tahu. The aim of the award is to celebrate and encourage young people who are stepping up and making a difference. The year 13 students meet weekly to develop ways of enhancing their school environment and to encourage sustainable practices amongst students and staff. “This year there were some really inspiring submissions which made it very difficult to decide who should take away the award,” said ECan youth engagement adviser Jocelyn Papprill. “There was an impressive range and depth of activities the young people were involved in and they showed themselves to be some of the strongest applicants we’ve ever had. The 2014 winner of the Individual Award was Elise Wilson from Cashmere High School. She was chosen for her passionate commitment to socio-cultural sustainability, having organised or participated in numerous events including the We Speak Youth Forum, the Canterbury Model United Nations and Model European Union forums.

Parents of year 6 students are encouraged to take a good look at their child’s full primary school when choosing schooling for 2015. Why change schools when you don’t need to? Full Primary schools are tried and tested and have developed in innovative and cost effective ways since their inception in 1877. They are as important to the provision of education in 2015 as they were in 1877.
What makes them successful? • They have evolved over time and have responded to the different demographic changes since 1877. • They are located in neighbourhoods; they cater for families and respond to community needs. • They are staffed by highly trained teachers who know curriculum levels from level 1 – 5 who have had the same teacher training as teachers in other year 7 and 8 school types. • Teachers in the students current full primary school know about individual students learning progress and learning style from year 1 – 8. • Developing the whole child, flexibility, nurture, innovation and child centered learning sum up full primary schools. • Year 7 and 8 intermediate age students are the leaders and role models along with the adults in a full primary school. • School organisation in a full primary school fits the needs of students not the timetable.
What does the research tell us about the learning needs of Year 7 and 8 students? • Curriculum that is relevant, challenging, integrative, and exploratory • Multiple learning and teaching approaches • Assessment and evaluation programs that promote quality learning • Organizational structures that support meaningful relationships and learning • Educators who value working with the age group • Courageous, collaborative leadership • School-wide efforts and policies that foster health, wellness, and safety • Multifaceted guidance and support services • School-initiated family and community partnerships

community job opportunities, buddy responsibilities and role model expectations. They are seen by others in s the number of valid nominations the school as the leaders of vacancies required to be filled, and younger students to look upduly to them. e following elected:
• These opportunities and strategies to build leadership, key competencies and resilience are available to all thony Pollock, Cathy intermediate age children in a full primary. Bridget
a
Lincoln Primary
Looking at the above list it becomes clear that it isn’t school type or school architecture that makes the difference for intermediate age children. It is instead the learning and the attitude of professionals to this cohort of students. This can happen in any school setting as long as the leadership, teachers and nonteaching staff are committed. Full Primary Schools are providers of intermediate aged education in every way that other types of schools are.

And also The research also provides insight into what works for intermediate age children: Ministry of Education by Dinham and Rowe of the Australian Council for Educational Research. 2007 • From the broader ‘teaching and learning literature’, there is strong evidence that the quality of teaching which students receive at all levels and stages of schooling is of major importance in influencing achievement outcomes for students. • While productive and positive student-teacher relationships are identified as an important characteristic of highly performing schools catering for middle years students, it needs to be acknowledged that good teachers and school leaders at all levels of schooling is what works. • It is therefore debateable whether at least some aspects of the philosophy and enactment of middle schooling is any different from ‘good’ teaching and effective schooling generally in all school types.
The literature is clear in advocating ‘middle schooling approaches focusing on quality teaching and enhanced learning’ rather than on school type. Therefore it is what happens in the classroom to support learning and what happens across the school to cater for the specific developmental, cognitive, physical, emotional and social needs of intermediate age children that makes the difference. Not school type. The research on middle schooling and its implications to provision of quality education to year 7 and 8 students is as applicable to full primary schools as it is for other intermediate schooling types.

Ingredients 2 tsp Rice bran oil 1 Chicken breast, skinless, trimmed and sliced 1 Small onion, sliced 2 tsp Thai green curry paste 2 Tbsp Water 165g Coconut milk, or coconut cream 1 to serve Lime, halved Directions Heat a frying pan, add oil and pan-fry skinless chicken breast, trimmed and sliced for 5 minutes to brown on both sides. Remove to one side. Add sliced onion to the pan and stir-fry to lightly brown. Add curry paste and gently fry for 1 min-

ute to release flavours. Add water and mix until smooth, then stir in the coconut milk or cream. Return chicken to the pan and simmer very gently (do not allow to boil) for 5 minutes, stirring often. Stir in fresh coriander and serve with lime wedges on the side to squeeze over. Chef ’s tips The curry should not need any salt and pepper as the curry paste is full of strong flavours. Don’t allow the mixture to boil once the coconut milk has been added or the sauce may separate.
Pea, ham and sour cream fettuccine
Serves 4 Ingredients 460g Fettuccine, or spaghetti 360g Champagne ham, diced 3½ cups Frozen peas, defrosted 250g Sour cream, or creme fraiche ½ Lemon, juiced Directions Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add pasta, stir and cook for 8-10minutes or until al dente. Stir pasta a few times while cooking to prevent it sticking together. Drain pasta, then add back to the pot along with the ham, peas, sour cream and lemon juice. Toss everything together and warm through on low heat. Season to taste with a little salt (if needed) and freshly ground black pepper. If splurging on the flat shopping budget, a few torn basil leaves on top is nice. Divide between serving bowls and eat while hot.

Directions Bring the steaks to room temperature well before cooking and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Heat a heavy frying pan, then add the oil. Once it starts smoking, add the steaks and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove them to a plate and cover with foil. Reduce the heat and add the onion, stirring to lift any meat residue off the bottom of the pan. Toss them around for a minute or two, then add the mushrooms and thyme. Once the mushrooms soften, add the whisky. The alcohol may ignite and flare up, but it will quickly subside. Add the stock and allow the sauce to bubble and thicken. Finally, stir in the cream, then return the steaks to the pan and cook for another minute. Serve on heated plates, spooning sauce over each steak. Accompany with steamed baby carrots and snow peas and a few sprigs of chervil.

Change your life with hypnotherapy Clinical hypnotherapist Juliette Harris

re you feeling in control of your patterns of behaviour, or are they controlling you? It could be your eating habits - a whole packet of biscuits rather than just one, or binge snacking after dinner. Many of us eat for emotional reasons, such as boredom, stress or habit, rather than actually being hungry. Or have your sleep patterns spiralled out of control or gotten into a rut? Do you have difficulty falling asleep at night, lying in bed for hours before finally dropping off ? Are you smoking more but enjoying it less and don’t know why you do it? Perhaps you 11:32:27 a.m. strugglePhotos.pdf to control7/07/2011 your reactions to certain situations and stutter, blush or have a panic attack. By using hypnotherapy to change your patterns of behaviour, you are dealing with the root causes and how you react to them, rather than simply masking their effects. Transform Hypnotherapy are specialists using a progressive relaxation technique to access the subconscious mind and then reprogramme it with more desired patterns of behaviour. Clinical hypnotherapist Juliette Harris says our subconscious mind is like a large file storagePhotos.pdf facility, which stores11:32:27 our automatic 7/07/2011 a.m. responses such as breathing and blood
circulation, along with learned responses, such as walking, holding a pencil or driving a car. “Our subconscious mind also stores those problematic learned responses or behavioural habits, including overeating, smoking, fears and phobias, anxiety or sleep disorders,” says Juliette. Hypnotherapy is a safe and enjoyable process that changes lives by also assisting with other problems, including enuresis (bed-wetting), nail biting, pain relief, confidence or public speaking. “The client is awake and in control of their responses during hypnosis. It’s very similar to driving on ‘autopilot’ when you lose track of time, but know that you followed all the road rules subconsciously.” While just one session can be sufficient to deal with minor shorter term issues, says Juliette, two to four sessions spread over several months are more beneficial to those with long-term and deep-rooted problems. For more information, please visit www.transformhy pnotherapy.co.nz. Transform Hypnotherapy is located at 80 Wairakei Road, Bryndwr, and 6 Scarff Place, Cashmere.

person is afraid of managing money and is happy to leave it all to the other person. There are many variations between. An unhealthy relationship with regard to money is one in which a partner is kept in the dark on money matters despite being keen to know; one person refuses to talk to the other about money or to reveal key information such as their income, or where one person is forced to sign financial documents without understanding the meaning of the documents or the consequences of signing. Sometimes, where there is significant wealth involved, it may be held in companies or trusts involving third parties without full information being disclosed to the shareholders or beneficiaries. In a healthy relationship there is full disclosure between partners of financial information, there is a willingness by both partners to participate in managing financial affairs and there are agreed financial goals which are achieved through cooperative behaviour and sharing of financial resources.
