School wins battle to slow trafficBY EMMA-JANE MCLENNAN

Mt Pleasant School has won a battle to make surrounding roads safer for pupils – after years of campaigning the city council.

The school’s fight gained a na-tional audience last month when Campbell Live publicised their ‘Over the Hill @ 40 – Time to slow down’ campaign.

Pupils turned out in full force for the event, sporting T-shirts the colour of road cones and handmade speed signs to drive the message home.

The school has asked for a re-duced speed limit from 50km/h to 40km/h around the school, a new footpath along Major Horn-brook Rd and a kea crossing with swing-out stop signs.

The proposed changes look

likely to happen soon, school principal Chris Nord said.

“I would like to see the 40km/h zone implemented by Christmas, and the footpath and crossings are expected within the financial year,” he said.

The city council has confirmed they will be implementing speed changes in December.

Mr Nord also says he would like to see a footpath along the

whole of Billys Track.“There is a footpath there,

but where the students cross is quite dangerous. I’d like to see it extended so they can cross somewhere safer on Mt Pleasant Rd.”

Mr Nord presented a depu-tation on the footpath to the Hagley-Ferrymead Community Board at it’s recent meeting.

•From page 1Although he would like to see

more changes, he said the city council has been very helpful so far.

“We’ve been working with them on a safety plan for a while, and they’ve been great.”

He added that a parent group have been working on the project since 2000, and letters have been exchanged with the city council since 1972.

Mother-of-three Mel Lament says they need to be able to walk to school safely.

She walks with her children, aged five, seven and 11, to and from school every day.

She says they have two to three near misses a week.

“There are a couple blind corners

where the children have no choice but to cross. We’ve had numerous close calls.”

With building work ramping up on the hill, the problem is projected to get worse. There were currently 47 rebuilds and 87 repairs under-way, with 450 more to come.

“We might be only 20 per cent

into it. And with all of the trucks going up the hill, safety has been a worry,” Ms Lament said.

Yesterday, Paul Burden, road cor-ridor operations manager for the city council, took issue with what Mr Nord said about correspon-dence since 1972.

“The records at hand show com-munication between the school and city council which dates back to the late 1990s. Over this time the school have raised various matters concerning drop-off/pick-up zones, new footpaths, crossing points and trimming of foliage. These issues have been actioned.”

Mr Burden said the most recent requests have been held pending available budget and the feasibility of any civil engineering works.

BY MICHAEL BOTUR AND EMMA-JANE MCLENNAN

Akaroa volunteer Jan Bourke has received a Pride of New Zealand regional award for saving the area’s ambulance service.

She said the recognition is unexpected.

“Obviously because I’m a vol-unteer, I don’t expect accolades. You just do it.”

Mrs Bourke started helping at the local St John 13 years ago.

Her partner works at the lo-cal fire brigade, and her son has now joined also.

“I thought there is no point me sitting at home,” Mrs Bourke said.

Her volunteer work came to a turning point last year.

“If someone didn’t step up and say they’d be station manager, we might not have had an ambulance service,” Mrs Bourke said.

That was not acceptable. Akaroa’s summer population booms to 10,000 – especially with cruise ships docking – but the number of St John staff do not increase.

When Mrs Bourke, 56, heard about the crisis, she stepped up and became St John Ambu-lance station manager and has hardly had time off since.

“If I wanted a night off there’s quite a bit of planning to do.

You’re the one sitting there drinking the ginger beer while everyone else is drinking. It’s easier to carry on working than stop working.”

Her nominator said Mrs Bourke – who has a pager at hand night and day – exempli-fies the St John core values of empathy, integrity, profession-alism and teamwork.

Banks Peninsula covers 1150 sq km and maintains coverage of it all 24/7; as Christchurch’s support is an hour away.

“Jan has put in countless hours to unite the Akaroa team, train, motivate and men-tor them to provide 24/7, 365 coverage for her community,” the nominator said.

“She also volunteers to sup-port her volunteer Fire Service colleagues. Simply, good people like Jan deserve as much rec-ognition as possible for doing a good job. It will serve to motivate others.”

Mrs Bourke said that al-though her job takes a lot of her time, she hasn’t thought of quitting.

“Sure, it has its bad days, but in the end I love it,” she said.

Inspirational acts of bravery, kindness, and commu-nity spirit are awarded through the Pride of New Zealand Awards.

For more information, visit prideofnzawards.co.nz.

SAINT: Jan Bourke has won a Pride of New Zealand award for saving the ambulance service in Akaroa.

Selfless act recognised

The Tin Palace and Lyttelton Museum are opening an ex-hibition called Service and Sacrifice today, the first since the museum’s demolition in 2011.

The exhibition contrasts three different stories of Lyttelton people who were called for service in World War 1.

The official opening is to-night from 5.30pm to 7.30pm at the Tin Palace, Oxford St.

Exhibition continues from August 14 to 31, open Thurs-days and Fridays noon to 4pm and Saturdays and Sun-days from 10am to 4pm.

A retaining wall class action group is depending on 50 people to sign up by Friday.

If GCA Lawyers doesn’t have enough people signed up by then, the action will not go ahead.

Lawyer Laura McLoughlin-Ware said difficulty in getting the word out could be their downfall.

“We’re hopeful we’ll have enough, but it has been really hard to get the word out.”

The action aims to challenge the Earthquake Commission’s rules in the hopes for a law change – and a payout.

The issues relate to Port Hills properties, especially in Lyttel-ton which is home to many of Christchurch’s damaged retain-ing walls.

At a meeting last Wednesday more than 50 interested people turned up – but many could have shared the same claims, Ms McLoughlin-Ware said.

An expert in public law, Dr Matthew Palmer QC, spoke at the meeting about the practicalities of the action going forward.

Dr Palmer recently told the Bay Harbour News that he thinks the action is likely to be successful.

“I do think there is a good argument there. EQC thinks they can pay less than the replacement cost.”

EQC says they can’t comment on the class action until it becomes official.

The issue with wall repair and rebuild cost is two-fold: The value of EQC land settle-ments, and that retaining walls

perceived to be public, may now be private.

Many of Lyttelton’s re-taining walls were built by prison labour in the early 1900s, and need to be extensively strength-ened or replaced.

They have been the city council’s respon-sibility for 150 years, but post-quake some were deemed private

property.

In many cases, the land settlement from EQC might be tens of thousands of dollars less than the actual cost of replacing the wall.

Dr Palmer said that although a legal ruling in court would as-sist everyone, affected property owners would be wise to get in on the court case.

If you have retaining wall issues and would like to be part of the class action, email [email protected]

Group may miss chance to take class action

DAMAGE: The rules around EQC’s responsi-bility of retain-ing walls could be challenged in court.

Dr Matthew Palmer

Redcliffs School still in limboRedcliffs School is likely to remain in Sum-ner for another year as it waits to hear if its Main Rd site is safe. The school has been op-erating from the Van Asch Deaf Education Centre since it was forced to abandon its site by earthquakes. The Ministry of Education is waiting on a report from the city council on the necessary remedial action before its own engineers can complete their report.

Plan for community hallA new lease of life may be in store for the Redcliffs Community Pavilion Hall after three years of closure. The Redcliffs Residents Association spoke to the Hagley-Ferrymead Community Board at a recent meeting, out-lining their idea to recommission the hall. They plan to turn it into a multi-purpose community centre.

Isabella, you have a lovely accent, where are you from?

I grew up in Greenock in Ren-frewshire – now called Inverclyde [in Scotland] – in the 1960s. It was pretty tough, we grew up in a council housing estate, just after the war. In a way it was great, there were lots of parties, but there was also a lot of alcohol problems. I had six brothers and two sisters, and my father was a whaler so he was away a lot. My mother was basically a solo parent, but the neighbours always pitched in and helped. I finished school at 15 and left home at 16.

What made you leave?There was a lot of big social fam-

ily problems going on. A friend of mine, her parents had just split up, and she was going to London to live with her mother. She asked me to come with her, so I left and stayed with her mother and partner for six years. I left with a blanket, a pound note and a guitar.

What did you plan to do from there?

In those days there was plenty of work, after the war. The family took us [my friend and I] to a labour exchange and I became a

factory worker. I worked in dif-ferent factories from age 15 to 24. The first one, before I left, was the Greenock Ropeworks. You used to have massive slabs of tree bark, they had to be lifted, flattened and oiled. The rope would come through flattened and oiled, and I had to push it into the barrel. You could never stop the produc-tion line, but the older women in the factory used to sabotage the machines so we’d get a break. The worst part about that job was you’d smell of the oil and get oil blisters, and at 15 I started to think about boys and how I looked. I soon left that job and went to another factory. I have had about 40 differ-ent jobs over my life. I have been waitressing and I’m even a trained counsellor.

So how did you get into per-forming?

I started very, very young.

Music was very much a part of my background. My mother was a lovely singer and her brother was a concert hall singer. My father’s family were performers, so the two of them [my parents] loved to play the guitar and sing. My first performance was at a house concert. I would only have been about four. People would gather for a house party or house concert – well really it started as a concert and ended as a party. There might be 30 people there, and you’d have a door charge to get in. When I left home and lived in London, I spent time in music circles and busking. Through busking I got offered a spot at the Manly Sum-mer Festival in Sydney.

How did that happen, were you approached on the street?

No, I went to Sydney to do busking and in those days you had to get a licence to busk. That included an audition, so I did the busk-ing audi-tion for the council and they liked it. It just happened that they were

planning the festival at the time, so they asked me to be part of it. I was probably in my late 20s then.

How did you end up in Christ-church?

I lived in London for some time, and I was a great traveller. I trav-elled three times around Europe and eastern, and met a man from Christchurch along the way. We travelled together a lot and came to Christchurch in 1978, then back to Aussie. In 1987 we moved permanently to Christchurch.

Could you tell me about your family?

I have two sons, Sean and Jaime. One’s an architect in Adelaide and the other is a digital producer in Sydney. I have a big family back in Scotland but I don’t see them so much. The boys’ father, my ex-husband now, went to Australia and I guess the boys went too so they could see a bit of the world.

Where do you live now?I live in Redcliffs, I’ve lived here

for 10 years probably. I was origi-nally in Somerfield, and brought the boys up there.

What do you like to do in your spare time?

I wash dishes, I garden, I go out and listen to other performers. I’m also a Buddhist practitioner.

How did you pick up Bud-dhism, was that on your travels?

Seasoned songstress hasIsabella Miller Bell left her Scotland home at 16 with just a pound note to her name. Now ‘Ma Bell’ is a seasoned singer and the woman behind the Sumner Cabaret La Vie. She speaks to Emma-Jane McLennan about her boys, busking and Buddhism.

come a long way

Yes, I have travelled through the east a couple of times, and I guess with leaving home early I have always been curious and a bit of a soul searcher. I’m not very reli-gious, Buddhism is more of a sci-ence of the mind. It’s a good refuge for myself.

So how do you run the Sumner Cabaret?

That’s been running for three years now. I always try to get local performers, and I always feature

myself – kind of like Alfred Hitch-cock – he always gives himself a pat on the back in movies. Usually there are four acts, and sometimes there is burlesque or puppetry. The concert experience for the per-former and audience is very differ-ent to a restaurant or bar. They’re not background any more, the people are actually there to hear the music.

So how much longer will the show go for?

I’ve got one more show still to do this year, but because I’m moving around it is hard to organise. My house is being repaired now, so I’ve moved out and everything is hard to access. I think I’ll do another show around October, November, December. I’ve got one scheduled in the back of my mind for before the end of the year. I might start focusing on younger artists, to give them the boost they need in front of an audience.

What would your advice be to young performers wanting to make it big?

The ‘making it big’ is a tricky one. I haven’t made it big, so I haven’t found the answer. Lets say you’re a songwriter – like Lorde for in-stance – you have to have the right look, be in the right age group and have all the right people around you to make it happen. Even if you make it big, it doesn’t last forever.

So why do you continue with music?

It has to be about the love for music itself. It’s being there for the community and lifting their spirits. I did have a good go but I didn’t make it commercial. I was a late bloomer, you could say. One of the Buddhist principles is you work for the good of all, and I try to work for that. I know it sustains the spirits of the audience that comes in, and at the end of the day I think that’s what it’s about. Music is also about storytelling, and with my huge life I have a story. You’re just trying to connect with someone else’s story as well.

Mt Pleasant’s Soleares Ave, will reopen to traffic on September 1 after being closed for 10 months for wall stabilisation and strengthen-ing above the road.

However, at that time, retaining wall work kicks in on Mt Pleasant Rd which will close it to traffic near Sea-mount Tce. It has been one-laned around the collapsed wall for some time.

Main Rd users to and from Sumner can expect more detours from August 25, with traffic sent via Beachville Rd and Celia St again.

SCIRT delivery team Fulton Hogan will be doing final tests and commissioning a new wastewater pressure main pipe.

The pipe runs from Main Rd, near Moa Cave, along McCormacks Bay Rd.

The SCIRT team will be filling the pipe with water to test the pressure main, before connecting the pipes.

Crews will then break down the existing manholes and fill the existing, now redundant, pipe.

At the end of the week, weather permitting, they will seal the road and reopen it to traffic.

Red zone land owners in the Port Hills have been given a six-month extension for deciding the fate of their properties.

The extra time is to consider a Crown buyout offer.

Canterbury Earthquake Re-covery Authority chief executive Roger Sutton said that feedback from those who have not yet accepted the offer prompted the extension.

“There are a number of evolving issues to consider and they would appreciate more time,” he said.

There are still insurance issues being worked through and matters to be resolved in courts, and some property own-ers in the Port Hills red zone are also awaiting more information from the city council on issues

like land mass movement.“It is important the owners

have the time they need to make an informed decision,” Mr Sutton said.

The deadline has been moved from August 31 to February 27.

Of the 475 insured red zoned properties in the Port Hills eligible for a Crown offer, 132 are yet to accept.

An offer has not been made to the owners of uninsured, insured commercial or vacant land prop-erties in the hills.

Letters will be sent to all af-fected property owners, where their addresses are known, to advise them of the changes.

More information is available at www.cera.govt.nz or by phoning 0800 7464 2372

AFTER: The strengthened wall.

HOGGING THE ROAD: The footpath along Soleares Ave was closed for days while the crane rig took up the width of the road.

Believe it or not...It’s a fantastic time of year to sell property. As we have mentioned in previous comments many property owners hold off going to the market in winter, opting for the warmer months of the year when gardens are showing colour and the days longer. However we are continually impressed with the numbers of buyers turning up to our open homes. It is clearly obvious to us that property owners who put their property on the market now have a distinct advantage in the market. There is definitely not as much competition from others trying to sell at the same time yet there are still the same number of buyers around. It’s logical really. Less properties available plus more buyers looking equals a better result for the seller.

Right now we have a fantastic marketing special available until the end of August. $2880 of quality, high impact marketing is being discounted to an incredibly low $1792. We can’t hold this price for too much longer so it would make sense to take advantage of it while you can.

Talk to anyone of our team today to either appraise your home to assess a current market value or to discuss marketing options and methods of sale.

If you would rather be living in France, Italy or Spain - this is your home. “Revello” is an enchanting architectural work of art, a secluded haven upon Clifton’s safe plateau. It is as grand as its views. This sunny escape is only moments from the holiday atmosphere of Sumner’s village and beach.

COOLING OFF: Local children making splashes at Purau by Louise Dennis, Lyttelton.

A triple celebration is in store for the Lyttel-ton Tunnel.

This month it will celebrate its 50th birth-day, the opening of its new control building and national recognition for its engineering heritage.

The community will be given a rare oppor-tunity to walk, cycle or skateboard through the almost 2km-long tunnel.

It will be closed to all vehicles on August 31 from 9.30am to 12.30pm.

Walkers will be asked for a gold coin dona-tion with all money raised going to the Chol-mondeley Children’s Centre.

The tunnel turned 50 on February 27 this year, but work to build the new control building and reconstruct the earthquake-damaged highway delayed festivities.

Work on the highway is on schedule for completion early next month.

When the road tunnel opened in 1964, more than 110 years after it was first moot-ed, it was hailed as the new gateway from the port to the plains.

It cost £2.7 million to build and it was said to be among the most modern in the world.

At 1944m long it is still New Zealand’s lon-gest road tunnel.

There’s a common belief that the property market dies off during the cooler months, and vendors are reluctant to list during this period as a consequence. But often times the reverse is true, with a variety of factors helping homeowners to achieve fantastic results even in the height of winter.

Because owners traditionally avoid the middle of the year you’ll find yourself competing against a smaller pool of properties. With fewer homes on the market buyers will have less choice and will be forced to compete for the right to own your home. That competition invariably drives prices up.

We’ve also found that the entire process is often quicker and smoother in winter. The cold weather keeps time-wasters away, meaning those that do venture out to open homes are more than likely to be serious buyers with a genuine interest in your home.

If you do decide to hit the market mid-year make sure you seize the opportunity to show off all the warm and cosy benefits of your home. Have the log-burner going, the heat pump running and the under tile heating operating – anything you can do to make visitors to your home feel comfy and snug.

Lighting is also important. No one wants to come home to a dark, dingy home during winter, so take the time to change old bulbs, hunt out some additional lamps and make feature lighting a real focus. If you can create a warm and inviting ambience you can use the cooler weather to your advantage and make the most of a market where the balance between supply and demand is squarely in your favour.

If you would like to speak to one of the friendly Harcourts Ferrymead team please call our office on 384 7950 and arrange an appointment.

BY GARY MANCH, SERGEANT LYTTELTON SUMNER AND BAYS

It seems like yesterday I was writing about trucks travel-ling through the bays and now it’s time for another article.

The other day I was ap-proached by a local resident who had a strange incident late at night.

They heard someone prowling around their gar-den and saw a shadowy fig-ure but could not describe the person.

They then left it until the next day to contact police.

They did not want to phone police at the time because they did not want to bother us, and thought that as they had could not describe the person we would not attend.

Please take note – if you hear suspicious noises, see someone in your yard, driveway, or wherever they should not be, phone 111 straight away.

It’s our job to try to keep communities safe, and catching prowlers and the like is always a priority for police.

Our crime rate in Lyttel-

ton is still very low which is fantastic, however, we need crime reported at the time.

That way we can respond with strategies to reduce our rate even further.

No crime or traffic crashes is my goal, it can be achieved through com-munity support and people being aware of what’s going on around them.

Security cameras and alarms are a great idea.

Not only do they act as deterrence, if the camera footage is clear enough it

allows us to identify and locate the criminals and get them before the court.

If you need security advice, please feel free to phone me at the station.

That’s it from me this week, keep warm and safe, it’s great to see the blossoms forming, spring is in the air.

Matariki was celebrated at the Moa Kids Community Early Learning Centre in Redcliffs recently.

The children welcomed their families with Maori songs, before enjoying a shared lunch brought along for the occasion.

Because the centre is inside Barnett Park everyone was able to go fly kites, a traditional custom symbolising connec-tors between heaven and earth.

The children enjoyed run-ning around the kites and watching them fly.

Later, a lemonade citrus tree

was planted in the pre-school grounds to mark the occasion.

The pre-school teachers were thrilled with the great re-sponse from the families who joined in.

Teachers of the pre-school have wanted to celebrate Ma-tariki for some years, and are thrilled with the great re-sponse from the centre’s fami-lies in joining in the occasion.

For the centre community, Matariki has a real signifi-cance.

It is a celebration of people, culture, language, spirituality and history – even if for the children it mainly meant eat-ing delicious food and flying kites.

A volunteer team of over 30 people helped to plant one of Christchurch’s first food for-ests in Sumner recently.

Months of planning came to fruition for the Sumner Community Garden group, which has been preparing a plot at the Van Asch Deaf Education Centre over the past year.

More than 50 different fruit and citrus trees and ber-ries were planted.

National party candidate Nuk Korako and Hagley-Ferrymead representative councillor Paul Lonsdale joined the group of volun-teers mucking in on a rainy day on school grounds.

“The weather wasn’t great but that didn’t stop this hardy bunch getting the job done. I am hugely supportive and congratulate the community on leading this initiative,” Mr Lonsdale said.

The group has taken ad-vice from a professional per-maculturist, who created a planting plan for the site.

Several working bees over the last year had left the site ready for planting.

Invasive ivy and exist-ing shrubs and trees which might have impeded the fruit forest’s growth were re-moved.

A food forest is a diverse edible forest consisting of trees, shrubs, vines and ground cover that are all planted in a specific way to create an integrated self sus-taining system.

The Sumner Food Forest incorporates nuts, apricots, plums, citrus fruit, apples, feijoas, berries and currants.

Community garden group spokesperson Kathryn New-bery said plants that are suit-able for the area have been hand-picked.

“We have deliberately cho-sen plants that are suitable to our area, varieties that are not available in shops, and a selection of varieties that will fruit across the whole season so there will always be something to see in the food forest.”

Each tree and shrub is planted not only for the pur-pose of providing fruit, but also provides shelter, condi-tions the soil, draws in ben-eficial insects and wildlife or provides a pollinator for an-other tree.

Once established (after about seven years), the idea is that the food forest oper-ates very much like a native forest and is self sustaining, requiring very little ongoing maintenance.

It is very exciting to see this stage of the food for-est completed, Ms Newbery said.

The Villa Retreat

Cholmondeley Children’s Centre is a home away from home for Canterbury children in times of stress. Cholmondeley is unique in

New Zealand. It has been positioned, carefully, to be accessible for families who may never have reached out for help before.

Children from three to twelve years stay at Cholmondeley for, on average, three to five days. Many children stay several times a year, while their families get back on their feet. With such short visits, the team are often asked what sort of a difference they can make to a child. Shane Murdoch, General Manager, is passionate when he explains what a difference a few short days can make.

“Most of the children who stay with us are experiencing stresses in their home life. Regardless of what’s brought them to us, these children don’t need to be “fixed” – but they do need to have the opportunity to develop their resilience and to believe in themselves,” he says. “Children come to us as many times as they need but in many cases, families are noticing a difference even after one visit.”

“We do this in a very specific way. At Cholmondeley we believe that children have as many rights as adults. Our vision of ‘Value our Children’ and philosophy of care reflect this,” he says.

For children, having a strong sense of self is essential to their well-being, and Cholmondeley helps to develop this.

Edwina Poynton leads the Integrated Practice team at Cholmondeley. She says that children have two questions when they arrive.

“Although they may not verbalise it, every child we meet wants to know ‘Do you care about me?’, and ‘Are you going to keep me safe?’,” she says. “At Cholmondeley, these questions are answered with a resounding ‘Yes’ through the positive and supportive interactions that staff develop with each child. Their relationship with the adults is

key to the child feeling safe and cared for.”

The supervisors work alongside the team of staff including registered teachers to integrate the Centre’s education programme into the child’s whole experience of Cholmondeley.

As Sharon Ellingford, Care Supervisor, explains, opportunities for learning are created throughout a wide variety of Cholmondeley experiences. “From baking, fishing, art and woodwork to rock climbing, kayaking, ropes courses and bush walks, there’s plenty of opportunity for fun here as well,” she says.

Johno Harris, Programme Supervisor, says that these experiences give the child the opportunity to grow their strengths and to learn new things about themselves. This helps to develop their resilience as they learn to believe in themselves and their ability to bounce back from challenges.

“What we do is based on good evidence and the children and their families tell us it is working,” explains Johno. “Essentially, we work with children who are experiencing significant levels of stress and we are here to provide them with relief from this, whilst developing their ability to cope. This resilience becomes part of the child so they continue to feel this way at home even in difficult circumstances,” he says.

mAKING A DIFFERENCE Meet the people behind

Cholmondeley Children’s Centre

The work that Cholmondeley Children’s Centre does to support children and their families is largely community funded.

The Centre lost its home in the earthquake, and currently operates out of temporary accommodation while it is rebuilt.

While we are working towards raising the last million of our target, we’re not there yet.

Every little bit helps, and it’s easy to donate. Visit backonthemap.co.nz today.

Takeaways at homeBig burgersServes 4

BURGER BUNSCut 4 burger buns in half for your tops and bottoms. Use another 2 buns to get your middles (or clubs) by cut-ting the very top and bottom off them (discard these pieces) and slicing the remaining part of the bun into 2 to get mid-dles from each bun. Brush cut sides of tops, bottoms and mid-dles with a little olive oil and toast on a hot plate (or sandwich press), pressing them down lightly.BEEF PATTIESSeason 500g quality mark beef mince with salt and pepper and a little lemon zest. Portion into 8 pieces (62g each) and press into thin patties using a round cutter the size of your buns. Layer on to squares of baking paper and chill until ready to cook.

To cook, heat a small amount of oil in a pan. When hot sear patties quickly until they just colour. Salt and pepper the top side, flip and turn off the heat. Add a cheese slice to 4 of the patties. Leave to rest and cook through for a minute.PICKLESSource a pickle that’s spicy and sweet and yet a little bit tart.

LETTUCERoll iceberg lettuce leaves into tight cigar shapes, then finely cut into long thin strips with a sharp knife.ONIONUse a sharp knife to cut 2 shallots into a super-fine dice. Or use onions if you wish.

Shallots will give a milder bite.CHEESE

Chesdale smoked cheese slices are what you’re

after here. You’ll need 4.

BURGER SAUCEWhiz ½ cup may-

onnaise, 2 Tbsp piccalilli, 1 Tbsp yellow

(American) mustard, 1 tsp

paprika, ½ tsp gar-lic powder, ½ tsp

onion powder and 1 Tbsp white vinegar in

a food processor to form a smooth sauce. Chill for at least an

hour for the flavours to develop and mingle.TO BUILD YOUR BURGERSSpread the bottom of your bun with sauce, a sprinkling of onion and some lettuce. Place a pattie with cheese on it cheese-side down and top with the middle part of the bun. Add more sauce to the top of the middle bun, some more lettuce, some pickles and a meat pattie without cheese. Top with the top of the bun.

Mixed mushrooms on sourdoughServes 4 Mushrooms on toast is an oldie but a goodie. Often overlooked, I think they are superb at any time of the day. Mushrooms are rich in nutrients. Fried in butter and fresh herbs, and served on a crisp slice of toasted Wild Wheat kumara sourdough, is the way to go.

INGREDIENTS3 Tbsp Shallots, finely diced100g Butter2 cups Shiitake mushrooms, sliced2 cups Field mushrooms, sliced1 Tbsp Flat leaf (Italian) parsley, chopped2 cups Button mushrooms, sliced1 Tbsp Fresh oregano, chopped1 tsp Lemon juice4 slices Sourdough bread

DIRECTIONSMelt the butter over a low heat, add the shallot or onion and gently fry for 2-3 minutes.

Turn the heat up to high, add the mush-rooms, season with salt and cook until caramelised and golden.

Add the lemon juice and herbs, season with flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Serve on top of buttered toasted sour-dough.

Tip: Using a large frying pan, cook half the mushrooms at a time. This will prevent the mushrooms from stewing in their own juic-es. Ensure your mushrooms are completely free of any dirt or grit. I use a pastry brush or a damp paper towel to clean them. Make sure your serving plates are nice and hot.

Pete the Bushman: Hunting Tales and Back-Country Lessons from a Wild West-Coaster

by Peter SalterThe adventures of Pete the Bushman, a wild West-coaster from Pukekura, New Zealand’s answer to Crocodile Dundee and a man who owns his own town

The Best Thing That Never Happened To Me by Laura Tait and Jimmy Rice

This book about a true New Zealand bushman, of a life lived against the grain, of adventure in New Zealand’s thickest wilderness and a lifestyle any Kiwi bloke would envy. Pete the Bushman has lived a life inseparable from the bush - these are his stories of running down deer on foot, heli-hunting in his own chopper, finding the perfect woman and eking out a living from the bush.

He and his wife Justine run the Bushman’s Centre, 35 mins south of Hokitika, established in 1991 as a place to show visitors how local people use the South Island forest. Pete’s café and the Puke Pub (opposite the centre) is famous for wild food, particularly possum, offering snacks like possum jerky, possum pie and possum pâté. They won one of the Monteith’s Wild Food Challenge, with ‘Chicken of the Forest’, ‘a baked, spiced possum on a bed of fresh vegetables with a touch of wild bush mint sauce’.

Also known as ‘Possum Pete’, the Bushman is one of the eccentric and colourful characters featured on TVNZ’s ‘This Town’.

One boy + one girl = two sides to this love story... Everyone remembers their first love.Holly certainly remembers Alex. But she decided ten years ago that love wasn’t about mix tapes and seizing the moment – though she’s not exactly sure it’s about secret dates with your boss, either.But what if the feelings never really went away?Alex wants to make every moment of his new job count. It’s a fresh start in a big city, and he’s almost certain that moving to London has nothing to do with Holly. Almost.How do you know if it was meant to be… or never meant to happen at all?A brilliantly funny, feel-good story of first love, second chances and everything inbetween, perfect for fans of romantic comedies like Love Actually, Notting Hill and Bridget Jones.

FERRYMEAD BAYS FOOTBALL CLUB REPORT

JuniorsCongratulations to the following Ferrymead Bays juniors who have made the Canterbury squads for the annual October tournaments:

•Under-11 boys: Oscar Kilpatrick, Monty Joseph, Sam Whitaker, Reuben Harrison, William Pierce, Joe Walker, Per Tonascia, Toby Chapman, Johnny Doudney, Finn Mounty

•Under-12 boys: Ethan Moscrop-Giblin, Sam Daeche, Eamonn Cameron

•Under-12 girls: Reilly Ward•Under-13 boys: Jack Chapman, Joe Hoole,

Isaac Egan, Mikaele Rabuka, Jae Cooper Smith, Matthew Rogers, Zach Burns, Peter Bevin, Tyler MountySeniors

Bays’ division 2 team played league win-ners Western in their cup final at English Park on Saturday. The game was a 5pm kick-

off, so most of it was played under lights.The Bays started better and took the lead

towards the end of the first half.Western were more determined when they

came out for the second half and had a num-ber of half chances.

Dan McGee in the Bays goal made a su-perb save to deny Western an equaliser mid-way though the half.

This shook the Bays boys into action and they deservedly scored a second goal with 20 minutes to go.

Western got themselves back in the game almost immediately when they scored a pen-alty given for a foul inside the Bays box.

The Bays defence held firm during the subsequent Western revival and Bays scored their third goal with eight minutes remaining to ensure a successful trophy defence.

Man of the match and team captain Shane Timbrel collected the trophy from Mainland Football’s Colin Grant after the game, signal-ling the start of the celebrations.

The lighting poles are being installed and the turf is being upgraded at Ferrymead Park, not Barnett Park as was reported in the last Bay Harbour News. The Hagley-Ferrymead Community Board’s recommendation was that the poles are to be galvanised or painted

flax green, not that they have to be painted khaki as was reported. The staff recommen-dation was for Flax Green, but staff provided information that galvanised could be con-sidered. Joe Davies is no longer the deputy chairperson of the board.

Nature StudyRecent works by

Anna Dalzell and Ben Reid

Ben Reid and Anna Dalzell

show their most recent work

in an exhibition called ‘Nature

Study’ at Little River Gallery

Reid brings together a myriad

of references that draw

attention to the complexity of

a relationship with the natural

world that has been both

exploitative and beneficial to

humanity. Reid recognises

there are no easy solutions

yet his images retain a faith

in the redemption of this

relationship with nature.

Dalzell recently moved to Pigeon Bay, Banks Peninsula from North Canterbury. The shift in landscape has

inspired her to paint and draw the beauty of the environment around her. “Sitting in a room with a view I have

been making quiet observations of this paradise. Finding moments of calm with line and colour”, she says.


Governors Bay residents have their wheels back after three years with no public transport.

GovBus was launched this week, providing a commuter and on-call service from Governors Bay to Christ-church return.

Governors Bay Trust chairwoman Jenny Swaf-field said that residents have sought a public bus service since the Governors Bay to Christchurch route could not be reinstated after the Canterbury earthquakes.

“We’re a close community, with many residents who either don’t drive or would like to share the commute into Christchurch, where the majority of us work.”

GovBus provides a return service to Princess Margaret Hospital, where connections can be made to the Orbiter Service and B Line.

Shopping trips to Bar-rington Mall or St Martins will be considered.

“The desire of the commu-nity to create an affordable, efficient transport service has been supported by En-vironment Canterbury, and with the help of volunteer resident drivers, we hope to offer this service three times

day,” Ms Swaffield said.The intention is to provide

a morning commuter ser-vice with a flexible service during the day, and GovBus will also be available for groups to rent outside these

core times.The Governors Bay Com-

munity Transport Trust is a not for profit charitable trust set up to benefit the Lyttel-ton Bays and wider Christ-church community.

Product Sourcing


Cashflow is the lifeblood of any small business and those owners who fail to juggle the balance between money in and money out do not succeed. Even if a product or service is the best thing since sliced bread, lack of cashflow will stop a business in its tracks.

In the early days of setting up a business, considerable skill is required to ensure there is enough money to pay operational expenses, taxes, and reinvest back into the business, for example by increasing stock levels. On top of that, the owner needs to take out enough money to live on. That, in turn, becomes another juggling exercise, especially when unexpected personal expenses arise.

The key to success is to separate incoming cash into several streams. First, there

needs to be a split between money required in the busi-ness and money required for personal expenses. This needs careful planning. Too often, small business owners take whatever cash is avail-able for personal expenses, leaving insufficient funds for the business.

Funds left in the business should be separated into money to cover operational expenses, money to be set

aside for taxes, and money required for reinvestment in the business to help it grow.

A shortfall on money for taxes or reinvestment can threaten the success of the business. Ideally, each of these streams should have a separate bank account.

Money for personal expenses should be kept completely separate from business expenses. The best way to achieve separation is to pay a set amount each month from the business to a personal bank account. Personal credit cards and eftpos cards should never be used for business purposes and vice versa, otherwise it will be very difficult to have clarity of your financial situation.

It’s simply amatter ofstretching your targets

RussellBellBUSINESS ZEN

IT’STHEMIDDLE of Juneand 50 per cent of the yearis already almost behindus. Time flies when you are

having fun and, for many of us,that’s what this time of year isabout—with the ski seasonalmost here and others lookingfor winter escapes.It’s also a good time to look

ahead and plan for futuresuccess. Strategic planning isan essential component ofsuccessful business and I havetwo plans— one formyself andone for the business— both areintertwined.Formany of us, our

businesses are a reflection ofourselves, so it makes sensethat whenwe plan for ourbusiness(es), they reflect ourown goals and ambitions.So, what are you going to

achieve for the remainder ofthis year?What are yourtargets? Are you going to letlife happen or take astructured approach?It’s important that you set

goals for yourself and yourbusiness that energise,motivate, aremeasurable andattainable. However, you

shouldmake sure that you alsoset some stretch targets.My personal plan includes

revampingmy fitness and hasmany stretches . . . and stretchtargets! I have resolved toexercise at least three times aweek. I did start this columnwith the ‘‘time flies’’ statement,but it seems that in that fitnesstime, I can create an ability toslow time significantly or stopit entirely.So I am going to dust off the

previously unused stepmachine at home. And I will seta goal of ‘‘stepping’’ aparticular distance each day.Given that the garage isn’twarm, there is incentive to getmotivated.The stretch target is to

make this activity daily. OK,not much of a stretch, but rightnow I am about as fit as a BigMac is nutritious.

The key to stretch targets isthat they do just that; theystretch you to new levels ofperformance and, likemuscleswhen you exercise, you andyour business develop newstrengths as you achieve them.I know it won’t be easy—

particularly starting fromscratch— but I want to beexercising every day if I can. Sowhat do you dowhen thingsget toughwhen pursuing agoal? Instead of giving up, youget energised. And although itis a stretch, I believe it isattainable.Oncemy fitness returns, it

will be a goal achieved, and Iwill have developedmoreconfidence andwill feel bettertoo.It’s the same for goal setting

and strategic planning— setyour targets so you knowwhere you are going andinclude some stretch targets.The benefits to you and yourbusiness will be exponential.■ If you would like helpimplementing stretch targetsinto your strategic plan, giveZenith Solutions a call on 3479997.

Get goodadvice beforeinvesting overseas

It is not uncommon for NewZealanders to have overseasinvestments.Examplesmight be shares in

foreign companies, foreign unittrust investments, foreignsuperannuation schemes andforeign life insurance policies.There are some pitfalls in leaving

these investments overseas.If your overseas investments

have a value greater than $50,000,they could well be liable for tax inNew Zealand. This is called aForeign Investment Fund (FIF) tax.There are a number of options youcan choose from as to to calculate itand youwill need help from anaccountant or financial adviser.Certain overseas investments,

particularly Australian ones, areexempt from FIF tax.Under current NZ law, an

overseas adviser who providesinvestment advice to a NZ residentmust be an Authorised FinancialAdviser (AFA) as determined in theFinancial Advisers Act.Australian advisersmay in some

circumstances be exempt from this

requirement. Exemptions also applyto wholesale investors, for examplethose whose investment assets are$1million ormore.If, for example, you have a share

portfolio of around £200,000 in theUK onwhich personalisedinvestment advice is provided by abroker, the broker will be in breachof the Financial Advisers Act if he orshe is not registered as an AFA inNZ. Youwill not have the protectionof the code of conduct, disclosurerequire-ments anddisputeresolutionschemesthat aremandatoryfor AFAs.Finally,

having assets in currenciesother than the New Zealand dollarwill expose you to exchange raterisk.Obtaining advice from aNew

Zealand accountant or financialadviser on the implications ofleaving investment assets overseasis highly recommended.

Celebrating ExcellenceAll students who had gained Excellence in NCEA in Term 2 were invited along with their parents to the Excellence Breakfast in the student centre to celebrate their success.The guest speaker was Phil Garrett, a man who had a dream to be the fastest on a motorcycle with a sidechair and has lived that dream, being the fastest in NZ at 272km/h racing in North Canterbury.Phil worked out of his garage in Heathcote gathering a team around him to do the impossible, to achieve what people said could not be done and then with typical kiwi ingenuity do it. He is now focussing on a 2015 challenge to race at Bonneville Salt Flats in the USA during speedweek. A driven man he believes anyone who has a goal can achieve it by taking one step at a time, believing in yourself and surrounding yourself with others who can help you attain that dream. Phil challenged everyone to embrace their dreams and persue excellence.

Teachers of Science and Social Studies, Mr Easterbrook and Mr Bye, decided to see how students would respond to project based learning, a strategy that is at the heart of STEM education and provides rich opportunities to develop the key competencies on which much of Linwood’s Graduate Profile is based. The class identified issues that were of real concern to them. The issues chosen have ranged from obesity to sustainable energy, animal testing, ethical food production, the threat to te reo and social and economic inequality. They have had to research their chosen issue and develop a ‘ product ‘ that might influence people’s views when they come to make decisions or express opinions. Groups within the class are seeking to produce blogs, a model of a sustainable house, a series of short advertisements and even a board game. Feedback from the students about their learning experience has been very positive.

It is hoped that the students will present their work to parents at a function later in the term.

Our Digital Age is One Step Closer Announcing Community LaunchLinwood College is about to launch a project that will take us further on our journey of STEM education and lead us into the digital age, where learning occurs not just in school classrooms during school hours, but anywhere, at any pace, and at any time.

The project called ‘ Te Tihi te Matauranga’ is designed to improve student achievement by increasing student and family access to digital devices and learning.

The launch is scheduled for Tuesday 26 August at 6.30pm in our school hall and includes not only Linwood College, but also Linwood North, Linwood Ave, Bromley, Bamford, and Woolston schools.

We are hugely impressed with the amazing opportunities that this will provide.

SOUTH ISLAND CHAMPS

Kerin Muddle Assistant HoLA in MathematicsI was initially attracted to working at Linwood College due to the exciting era we are now entering, from the devastation of the Quake comes the opportunity to custom design a school that provides specifically for the educational needs of this community. Since arriving I am enjoying getting to know the students. I was born and educated in Australia but left her shores almost 7 years ago. Since then I have had long term teaching positions in England and the Cayman Islands.

Obese patientsprovide significantchallenges foranaesthetists

As well as increasing the need for surgery, obesity increases the complications associated with having anaesthesia for

surgery, says specialist anaesthetist Dr Nigel Robertson, in support of the New Zealand Medical Association’s (NZMA) call for a co-ordinated approach to tackling obesity in New Zealand.

In a major policy statement, the NZMA says obesity represents a public health crisis with major implications for New Zealanders’ health and wellbeing, as well as the future sustainability of its health system.

Dr Robertson is the Chair of the New Zealand National Committee of the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists. He says that anaesthetists have been concerned for some time with the increasing number of obese patients on

operating lists. “Obese patients provide significant

challenges for us.”Obesity is associated with conditions such

as high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease and sleep apnoea syndrome, where breathing is significantly impaired during sleep, ultimately leading to serious heart conditions that increase risk at the time of surgery.

Complications of obesity in the operating room can include difficulty with intravenous line insertion in very large limbs, airway and breathing management, positioning for anaesthesia and surgery, and breathing in the early recovery phase.

Post-operative complications such as respiratory failure, pneumonia and blood clots in the legs are also more common in the obese, as well as a much higher rate of heart attack, peripheral nerve injury, wound

infection and urinary tract infection. “Already, patients due to have bariatric

(weight loss) surgery are asked to follow a strict diet before surgery to help alleviate the associated risks and show they are serious about weight loss,” Dr Robertson says.

“Maybe it is time for other patients who are overweight or obese to be asked to try to lose weight before elective surgery. Even a small weight loss is beneficial, especially if patients can also undertake light exercise such as a 30-minute walk each day before surgery.

“As the NZMA says, we all have a responsibility as doctors to engage with patients who are obese as even brief interventions can lead to at least short-term changes in behaviour and body weight. This can decrease the risks associated with their surgery and their anaesthesia, and assist their recovery.

“As anaesthetists, we support the call for a co-ordinated approach to stemming what is becoming an epidemic of obesity in this country.”
