BY GABRIELLE STUART

Hoon Hay residents are worried a subdivision on flood-prone land will cause overflow on their prop-erties.

But the developer of the Mead-owlands subdivision has prom-ised it will reduce flooding for the whole area.

The subdivision is planned on land between Halswell Rd and Sparks Rd, and would create 320 new homes.

The land borders the Hender-sons Basin ponding area, which is part of a long-term city council flood management area.

The Riccarton-Wigram Com-munity Board requested an engi-neering report on drainage plans for the land, after concerns were

raised by Hendersons Rd resi-dents.

Community board chair-man Mike Mora said residents were concerned their properties would be flooded because of the development.

“That land is wet, so we want to make sure that there’s enough remediation to handle the storm water and that existing proper-ties won’t be flooded.”

He said a lot of work had been done to storm water catchments in the area, which might have re-solved the problem.

But he said the board wanted to see more information before the subdivision development was approved.

St John Public Education and Clinical Hub reopening

An event marking the return of St John to the CBD took place recently. Invited guests were given an opportunity to inspect the newly

refurbished and strengthened Public Education and Clinical Hub. The complex will provide a central base for operations and fi rst aid training for both St John personnel and the public. Attendees were able to look over the latest equipment, vehicles, technology and facilities, as well as the future plans for St John in the city. During the formal presentation, awards were given to members of local business and the community who had completed the Ambulance Challenge in the South Island.

The donated food items outnumbered the pupils at Somerfield School after a dona-tion drive for the City Mission.

Year 6 student leaders at the school managed to collect 800 food items and 64 blankets during the three-week drive, which will be donated to people in need.

There are just 469 children enrolled at the school.

Teacher Mandy O’Sullivan said it was the most successful donation drive the

school had ever held.She said it was held to show the school’s

support of the work City Mission did for the families of Christchurch.

“At Somerfield School we have some-thing special. We have our Somerfield smiles which are wide, warm and wel-coming and we wanted to share them far and wide throughout Christchurch. That was our mission for the City Mission and we think we have achieved it.”

FOOD MOUNTAIN: Somerfield School student leaders collected 800 food items and more than 60 blankets in a donation drive last week.

ANOTHER RESCUE AND REHOME

McMaster & Heap

&McMaster HeapVeterinary practice

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.

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!!

The Eastern Recreation and Sport Centre is likely to be built on the former QE II site.

Burwood-Pegasus Commu-nity 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 Commu-nity Advisory Group appointed to look at the sites in detail.

Their second preference was Rawhiti Domain, while Bur-wood Park and New Brighton were ranked third equal.

The group included repre-sentatives from the community board and eight community and sports groups involved in the complex.

Group spokesman Robert Ju-govac said the QE II site rated highly for its accessibility, like-lihood to enable wide partici-pation, 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.

The site suffered bad lique-faction from the February 2011 earthquake and the QE II com-plex 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 in-cluded in the complex. That is likely to be released next month.

QE II gets nod for sports centre

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY: The Christchurch South Communi-ty Watch celebrated 20 years on patrol this month, with a meet and greet outside Fresh Choice supermarket in Barrington mall. The patrol offers police an extra set of eyes and ears in the south to reduce crime and report suspicious activities. They are currently looking for new members. Pictured are mem-bers Josh Tabley and Hayden Webber.

Twenty years and still rolling

• From page 1“If the developers are wrong, it

could be quite an expensive mis-take for the city.”

Simon Mortlock, director of subdivision developer Danne Mora Holdings, said that a lot of research had been done on wa-ter management in the planning process.

“We’ve always regarded water management as one of the big-gest issues in the area, which is why we are setting aside many hectares of land, which could otherwise be used for develop-ment, for water management.”

He believed there was no chance residents in the area would be affected by water run-off.

“The whole design of the de-velopment is to ensure that doesn’t happen. The storm water management solution will extend all the way to include those prop-erties on Hendersons Rd, so they will be better off for it.”

He welcomed residents with concerns to approach him.

The board asked that the de-veloper be expected to contribute to remedying present or future flooding run-off or drainage is-sues.

• There is no known connec-tion between Mike Mora, Riccar-ton-Wigram Community Board chairman, and subdivision devel-oper Danne Mora Holdings.

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 re-gion. We’re really wanting to see much more localised food pro-duction.

I know this isn’t the first of this type of initiative you’ve been involved in. When did you first get involved in com-munity gardens?

Well, in the late 1990s I be-came a co-ordinator of the Or-ganic 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 basi-cally promoting the concept of Christchurch as an organic gar-den city.

I think the difference now is there is so much more public awareness. Back then Christ-church had 10 community gar-dens, and now there are almost 30 – and that’s not because of anything I’ve done, it’s just an indication of how much aware-ness of these issues is growing.

There is a lot more excitement about it now, too. The idea of taking control of our food sys-tem 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, be-cause if the fridge goes off or the supermarket runs out of food where are you going to turn?

Gardens are obviously a pas-sion for you – where did that passion come from?

I don’t know where it came from, actually.

I remember at university liv-ing 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

course at CPIT and I remem-ber 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 en-thusiasm 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 supermar-ket 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 super-markets for a long time, bal-ancing it with your work for community groups and local government – did those things work well together?

Matt Morris is the co-ordinator of the Food Resilience Network, a group responsible for developing edible community gardens across the city. He spoke to Gabrielle Stuart about gardens, monasteries, beer and his love for supermarkets.

It’s a funny thing, but I quite like supermarkets. I know I’m meant to say I hate supermar-kets and only shop at farmers markets.

Supermarkets are a fascinating environment. They’re like the centre of culture, like the An-cient Agora in Athens – it’s the modern marketplace.

As far as the local government stuff goes, I find it a fascinat-ing 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 com-munities.

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 Uni-versity working in sustainability, which was something I have al-ways 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 cou-ple of big events coming up, in-cluding an expo at the Botanic Gardens.

I’m also in the process of start-ing my own business, called The Urban Monk, which is about bringing delicious foods to the people of Christchurch.

The Urban Monk is an inter-esting name. What inspired it?

I’ve been experimenting with new monasticism, which is a global movement about taking the best aspects of the monas-tery 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 in-volved in.

I’ve been involved in start-ing a monastery in South New Brighton, called the Monastery of Saints Sergius and Bacchus. It’s still very fledgling at the mo-ment, 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, mak-ing bread, making champagne – all of those things and more. We have a weekly meeting for men who are interested in spiritual-ity, 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, dot-ted with about 20 monasteries. They’re all incredibly old and it’s a very peaceful, very earthy place. I loved it, but I still some-times 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 anti-dote to the rampant consumer-ism of our culture. It’s about say-ing 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 fish-ing 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 fo-cused 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, be-cause I don’t really know where I’m headed.

This week I’m just really look-ing forward to the new episode of Doctor Who – I’m really ex-cited about that.

Sunday december 7th

CHAMPIONS: Anja Noetzel-Hayward, 20, from St Martins, and Connor McIver, 21, from Upper Riccarton, have been skating together for the last five years. They are the current national and Australian novice ice dance champions, but have moved up to the junior division this year, and are preparing for the national championships in Dunedin in October, and the Australian championships in December. They are seen here performing a straight line lift.

Cool couple

A Cashmere High School student has won an award for her work promoting sustain-ability.

Elise Wilson was presented with a Youth Leadership for Sustainability group award last week by Environment Canterbury and Te Runanga o Ngāi Tahu.

She was chosen for her commitment to so-cio-cultural sustainability, having organised or participated in numerous events includ-ing the We Speak Youth Forum, the Canter-bury Model United Nations and Model Eu-ropean Union forums.

The aim of the awards is to celebrate and encourage young people who are stepping up and making a difference.

“This year there were some really inspir-ing submissions which made it very difficult

to decide who should take away the award,” said ECan youth engagement adviser Joc-elyn 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.

“We asked all the students making a sub-mission to spend a little time promoting their work in fostering a more sustainable future to show how they are working to nurture the environment or raise awareness about social issues so we can live safer, healthier, happier and more sustainable lives.”

A Burnside High School Environment Group won the group award for their work, which included a major regeneration project along Hewlings Stream.

Scissortrix 20th birthday bash Two decades of tending to the hair of Beckenham and greater

Christchurch were celebrated on recently as Scissortrix threw a party for clients, staff and friends at the salon which, under various names, has stood on the present site since the mid-1920s. Fab food and divine drinks fl owed in a seemingly endless stream, enticing the guests to stay on and enjoy the fun. Twenty years in the same place, unscathed by the fury of earthquakes and going from strength to strength is quite an achievement. An occasion such as this needs to be celebrated in style, and it was, so keep listening for the sound of the scissors in Scissortrix, snipping away over the next 20 years. Happy birthday!

PICK A PIXIE!Gamine and gorgeous, yet classic — the short pixie hairstyle takes guts. The payoff is how well it shows off your features. Pixie hair is becoming more and more popular as more celebrities get their hair cut into this boyish-yet-still-feminine-style.The pixie may seem like a wash-and-go type of haircut, and it is. However, you will need trims every five to six weeks and the right products to keep it looking fab.

Free curtains to warm homesA Hillsborough resident has a warmer home this winter after receiving free cur-tains salvaged from earthquake-damaged homes.

Local charitable trust Community En-ergy Action is collecting curtains from demolished homes, lining them and giving them away to needy families.

Lia Salazar from Hillsborough is one of the many people who benefited from free curtains from the curtain bank. She heard about the curtain bank through a social worker in the hospital.

She had some curtains but they were too short to be effective and was delighted to hear she could get free curtains.

“Oh man, that’s amazing,” she said when she saw all the curtains available at the cur-tain bank.

She has been recommending the service to other people.

“With the curtains, it’s a big change. Before, it would be just as cold as outside. Now you can feel the warmth in the place.

“You people are the ones who are keep-ing me warm,” she told Community En-ergy Action.

The charitable trust curtain bank has been recycling curtains for nearly 20 years, however, this year it has had more cur-tains donated than ever.

Trust chief executive Caroline Shone said that with so many houses, hotels and businesses being demolished, the curtains had been flooding in.

“We received more than twice the amount of curtains last year than the year before. It’s great, as we have been able to help more people that need curtains.

“Anyone who cannot afford curtains, please just give us a call, we’re here to help.”

Last year the curtain bank received more than 24,000 sq m of curtain fabric, more than twice the amount of the year before, and helped nearly 500 families with free curtains.

“We expect to do a lot more this year. We are very grateful for the sponsorship of Genesis Energy and a lotteries grant which allows us to do this work. ”

A lot of heat is lost through single-pane windows and good curtains can help to keep the heat in.

Anybody who cannot afford good curtains can use the curtain bank.

Homeowners, private tenants and Housing NZ or city council tenants are all eligible.

Anyone interested in receiving free cur-tains can phone Community Energy Ac-tion on 0800 GET WARM or 374 7222 or visit www.cea.co.nz for more informa-tion.

An extensive retail selectionfor all your automotive needs

The retail outlet is continually broadening and extending its already extensive product range to suit its customers’ needs and as John

Gale explains, that is part of the philosophy of Gale’s Super Cheap Auto Spares.

“We hate having to say no to our customers, so that means stocking as many di� erent product ranges as we can. Fortunately, we have an expansive space to work with and if there is something we don’t have in stock, we’ll go out of our way to get it in for our customer,” says John.

It has been 13 years since John Gale took over the Super Cheap Auto Spares shop in Sydenham, and in that time the store, now named Gale’s Super Cheap Auto Spares, has grown from strength to strength.

sydenham

Gale’s Super Cheap Auto Spares is a one-stop-shop for all your automotive needs. All the sta� are experienced in the automotive retail industry. � eir commitment to customer service, combined with the extensive range of products they sell, make for no better place to shop the next time you need to replace your oil and � lter, disc pads, wiper blades, anti-freeze or just need to pick up general car accessories.

John says the range of products at Super Cheap is getting larger and larger. � e shop

is very competitive with other retailers and you still get the same good service.

Gale’s Super Cheap Auto Spares and the rest of the retailers in the shopping complex have banded together to form the Fire Station Shopping Centre, creating a name for themselves that explains exactly where they can be found on the former Sydenham Fire Station site. Gale’s Super Cheap Auto Spares is open seven days.

FOOD

Pea, ham and sour cream fettuccineServes 4 Ingredients460g Fettuccine, or spaghetti360g Champagne ham, diced3½ cups Frozen peas, defrosted250g Sour cream, or creme fraiche½ Lemon, juicedDirectionsBring 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.

Quick Thai chicken curry for oneUsing a Thai green curry paste makes this a quick dish to cook – curry pastes are avail-able in sachets or bottles from supermar-kets and Asian grocery stores.

Ingredients2 tsp Rice bran oil1 Chicken breast, skinless, trimmed and sliced1 Small onion, sliced2 tsp Thai green curry paste2 Tbsp Water165g Coconut milk, or coconut cream1 to serve Lime, halved

DirectionsHeat a frying pan, add oil and pan-fry skin-less 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 min-utes, stirring often.

Stir in fresh coriander and serve with lime wedges on the side to squeeze over.Chef ’s tipsThe 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.

Speedy suppers

Fried bananas and caramel sauceServes 4 For those of you with a sweet tooth, this dessert is a must. Instead of deep-frying, you can simply roll the bananas in dark, rich muscovado sugar then fry in a little butter and serve with a warm caramel sauce.

Ingredients6 Tbsp Muscovado sugar2 Tbsp Butter150ml Cream4 Bananas, peeled and cut into four2 Tbsp Toasted sesame seeds4 scoops Vanilla ice cream, to serveDirectionsTo make a caramel sauce put 4 table-spoons of sugar in a small pot. Add butter and cream.

Bring to a simmer, stirring until butter has melted. Remove from heat.

Spread remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar on a small plate. Toss bananas in sugar.

Heat a frying pan and cook the bananas a few at a time until golden. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Place bananas on plates, top with a scoop of ice cream and drizzle caramel sauce over them.

Steak with whisky mushroom sauceServes 4 Ingredients4 Beef steaks, thick eye fillet or scotch fillet2 Tbsp Olive oil4 Spring onions, finely chopped300g Button mushrooms, finely sliced4 Tbsp Whisky, scotch1 cup Beef stock3 Tbsp Cream

DirectionsBring 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, stir-ring 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 bub-ble 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.

Anchovy & Capsicum ToastsServes 24

Ingredients3 Tbsp Extra virgin olive oil1 to taste Garlic1 Bread stick⅓ cup Olive tapenade24 Anchovy fillets2 Red capsicums, Grilled and sliced into fine strips1 to garnish Basil leaf

DirectionsMix the oil and crushed garlic together. Toast the bread in the oven until golden and crusty, remove from the oven and brush with the garlic oil. Spread each slice of toast with tapenade. Place an anchovy fillet over each bread slice and criss-cross with the capsicum. Sprinkle with basil leaves.

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.

• All year 7 and 8 students are included in leadership opportunities, sporting opportunities, school community job opportunities, buddy responsibilities and role model expectations. They are seen by others in the school as the leaders and younger students to look up to them.

• These opportunities and strategies to build leadership, key competencies and resilience are available to all intermediate age children in a full primary.

Aroha ki te tangata, te tuahiwi ki te whai aoRespect: the foundation for future success

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 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

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 non-teaching staff are committed. Full Primary Schools are providers of intermediate aged education in every way that other types of schools are.

And alsoThe 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.

BY MARK THOMAS - FIRE RISK MANAGEMENT OFFICER

Last Saturday saw the open day previously advertised take place in Bewdley St, Sprey-don.

For those who didn’t know about it, this was a house where the occupants left some oil heating on a stove and left the room. The resulting fire destroyed the house and the elderly occupants, desperately trying to stop the fire were very nearly caught inside.

The swift actions of a couple of passers-by got them out in time.

We’re eternally grateful to the house own-ers for the permission to show the house to those who responded to our advertis-ing.

The morning saw a steady flow of more than 200 people inspect the ruins. Most of

us never get the chance to see something like this.

Yet one in three of all house fires start in the kitchen. While it is probably only coin-cidental there was just one kitchen fire this week on Main Rd, Redcliffs, last Monday.

And it might also be coincidental that the occupant was in the kitchen and stopped the fire herself.

But that is what we preach. Stay in the kitchen while cooking, put any fire out if safe to do so and always phone 111 even if you’re convinced there is no residual fire.

Arson keeps returning to our poor city.The deliberate lighting of a garage under a

set of flats in the early hours last Saturday in Hereford St is particularly concerning.

The flats were occupied.Someone is prepared to kill. Now that is

hugely concerning.

Are 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 a� er 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 di� culty falling asleep at night, lying in bed for hours before � nally dropping o� ?

Are you smoking more but enjoying it less and don’t know why you do it? Perhaps you struggle to control 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 e� ects.

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 � le storage facility, which stores our automatic responses such as breathing and blood

Clinical hypnotherapist Juliette Harris

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, con� dence or public speaking.

“� e 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 su� cient to deal with minor shorter term issues, says Juliette, two to four sessions spread over several months are more bene� cial to those with long-term and deep-rooted problems.

For more information, please visit www.transformhypnotherapy.co.nz. Transform Hypnotherapy is located at 80 Wairakei Road, Bryndwr, and 6 Scar� Place, Cashmere. Call now on 351 3240 or 021 HYPNO 4U (021 4976 64) for an appointment.

St John Public Education and Clinical Hub reopening

An event marking the return of St John to the CBD took place recently. Invited guests were given an opportunity to inspect the newly

refurbished and strengthened Public Education and Clinical Hub. The complex will provide a central base for operations and fi rst aid training for both St John personnel and the public. Attendees were able to look over the latest equipment, vehicles, technology and facilities, as well as the future plans for St John in the city. During the formal presentation, awards were given to members of local business and the community who had completed the Ambulance Challenge in the South Island.

MONEY

Lobby to leave KiwiSaver alone

KIWISAVER is a “no brainer”—as long as governments will leave it alone. It is good because the Government puts in $1000 when you start.

It is good because the Govern-ment contributes $10 a week as long as you put in $20 a week or more.

It is good because your em-ployer has to put in the same amount as you. The $10 a week is still good for those self-em-ployed.

The $10 a week is also good for people who are not working (e.g. at-home mothers).

IT’S GOOD AS LONG AS THE POLITICIANS LEAVE IT ALONE

When KiwiSaver started out, the Government would contrib-ute $20 a week as long as you put in $20 a week.

When National got elected in 2008, they promptly cut the government contribution from $20 a week to $10 a week, citing difficult economic conditions.

To be fair, that was in the

middle of the Global Financial Crisis and things were indeed tough.

But will we ever get a retire-ment scheme that future govern-ments leave alone?

That’s what we all want, so we can have confidence in our retirement plan.

KIWISAVER IS A NOBRAINER

You need the Government to leave it alone.

Tell your MP in no uncertain terms to leave it alone.

KIWISAVER TAX You are taxed three times on

your KiwiSaver. You pay tax on the money

before you put it into your Ki-wiSaver.

The investment earnings are then taxed. Then when you re-tire, and invest the money from your KiwiSaver into income-producing funds, you will be taxed again.

THE GOVERNMENT WILL EVENTUALLY MAKE A LOT OF MONEY FROM YOUR KIWISAVER

The Government put in an initial $1000 plus they contribute $10 a week or $520 per annum, but then they tax the invest-ment earnings.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE—TAX AT 17.5 PER CENT?

Example: A KiwiSaver with total contributions of $500 per month x 25 years.

At a 6 per cent gross return (no tax), it will grow to $349,000. Taxed at 17.5 per cent it will grow to $298,000.

In this example the Govern-ment will have “contributed” $13,500 and taken back over $50,000.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE—

TAX AT 28 PER CENT? Example: A KiwiSaver’s total

contributions of $500 per month x 25 years.

At a 6 per cent gross return (no tax) it will grow to $349,000. Taxed at 28 per cent , it will grow to $272,000. In this example the Government will have “contrib-uted” $13,500 and taken back over $77,000.

IN TIME, IT’S A HUGE MONEY SPINNER FOR THE GOVERNMENT COFFERS

Once a few million people get into KiwiSaver and their ac-counts really start to grow, the Government will be making— no, taking—heaps more in tax revenue.

In the US, people form lobby groups and hassle politicians on issues that they want fixed or changed.

In New Zealand we don’t lobby them, but we should.

Most countries offer some sav-ers some tax incentives

Many Western countries have tax-advantaged superannuation schemes.

LOBBY, LOBBY, LOBBY Before the election, send your

MP or favoured election can-didate an email, and tell him/ her that if they want your vote: • They need to promise to leave KiwiSaver alone (or improve it). • They need to promise to look into reducing the internal taxes on KiwiSaver.

At a political and economiclevel, we all know that thosewho control themoney have thepower. In personalrelationships, it is no different.Control overmoney can be usedeither in a beneficial ordetrimental way by one personto control another.Theway in whichmoney is

managed in a relationship veryoften signals the underlyingnature of the relationship. Insome instances, one partnermay refuse to participate inmanagingmoney. This may befor a variety of reasons.Sometimes it is because the

personwishes to retaincomplete financialindependence and dowhat theylike with their ownmoneywhether the other person likesit or not. At the other end of thespectrum, it can be that one

person is afraid of managingmoney and is happy to leave itall to the other person. Therearemany variations between.An unhealthy relationship

with regard tomoney is one inwhich a partner is kept in thedark onmoneymatters despitebeing keen to know; one personrefuses to talk to the otheraboutmoney or to reveal keyinformation such as theirincome, or where one person isforced to sign financialdocuments withoutunderstanding themeaning ofthe documents or theconsequences of signing.Sometimes, where there issignificant wealth involved, itmay be held in companies ortrusts involving third partieswithout full information beingdisclosed to the shareholders orbeneficiaries.In a healthy relationship

there is full disclosure betweenpartners of financialinformation, there is awillingness by both partners toparticipate inmanagingfinancial affairs and there areagreed financial goals whichare achieved through co-operative behaviour andsharing of financial resources.Ideally, partners should aspireto having similar levels offinancial literacy.

Potential for Kia Cerato hatchI OVERHEARD a customer at Christchurch’s Kia dealership talk-ing to her partner about the media car which was waiting for me on the forecourt.

She said something like: “Oh, look at the lines on that.’’

The car she was talking about was the new Kia Cerato hatchback.

That’s something I don’t always notice in a car, the appeal of its physical looks. And yes, the Cerato hatchback is a clean, sleek car to look at, its five-door body style oozes character, it also looks a little sporty with its big 18in two-tone alloy wheels and subtle body adorn-ments.

The Cerato hatchback has been under the pen of Peter Schreyer’s Kia design team in Korea, a unit which has produced several startling designs out of the Kia factories; they are sharp, tasteful and work with the functional design needed for an everyday driving role.

The Cerato hatchback joins the sedan which landed here early in 2013. The five-door sits at roughly the same price point with the entry level model listing at $29,990 (1.8-litre). The test car was the high-grade, 2-litre model with full leather trim at $40,490.

It also gets heated and cooling seats, dual zone climate control, touch screen satellite navigation, steering wheel-mounted paddle shifts for the six-speed automatic gearbox, electric sunroof and three-mode sport/normal/comfort steer-ing feel selector.

The latter is just one part of the technology Kia is developing into their cars. They are full of specifica-tion and represent value for money purchase.

Personally, I think Flex Steering is a little gimmicky for it doesn’t alter the handling characteristics at all, just merely loads or unloads the steering feel as the driver prefers. But it is there and it is certainly not a bad thing.

Inside that rather pretty body shell is a useful environment for four adults, it can take three adults across the rear but it is a bit of a squeeze widthwise. Otherwise there’s plenty of head and leg room and the seats are supportive, con-taining the body well. The leather feels soft to sit on, especially up front where it is perforated to allow the use of cooling fans.

The Cerato in all forms isn’t a big car, but at 4.3m in length it does sit towards the mid-size models and for that reason it makes good use of its proportions, it is certainly comfort-able. And it is comfortable in terms of suspension, the tube beam rear axle does limit freedom of move-ment a little, a fully independent rear would be a lot more compli-ant, but for its limitations it does

ride well with sensible spring and damper rates and a ride quality well suited to the ruts and bumps which make up Christchurch’s roads.

I took the test car on a loop incor-porating the Gebbies Pass incline and the roads to my mother and sis-ter’s Kirwee lifestyle block. Through the twists and turns of the Summit Rd the Cerato hatchback has posi-tive steering response and tidy han-dling manners. The Cerato in this form sits on big wheels with grippy Nexen rubber (215/45).

Grip in first instance is well sup-plied, turn in is direct and the balance of the car in general is com-posed. What little body movement there is is well contained and the suspension is relatively composed.

Under the bonnet sits a 1999cc,

twin-camshaft, 16-valve engine. It is rated by Kia with healthy power outputs of 129kW and 209Nm. The 2-litre model comes only with auto-matic transmission, the six-speeder works in harmony with the engine promoting lively behaviour when required and positive response to throttle request.

The engine is very smooth and refined, it is the result of a lot of technological development and it shows with its performance and efficiency.

Some of the more important fig-ures list at 8.9sec to reach 100km/h and 5.8sec to make 120km/h from 80km/h. Like most vehicle manu-facturers these days, fuel efficiency has been a key engine making ingredient, and the company lists

the hatchback with a 7.5-litre per 100km/h (36mpg) fuel usage figure.

That equates well to the 8.6l/100km (33mpg) figure showing on the test car’s trip computer read-out, along with a 6l/100km (47mpg) figure, travelling at 100km/h in sixth gear, the engine turns over at just 1950rpm.

As much as the Cerato stands out with all of its features, there’s no doubt that the hot hatchback has returned, several manufacturers have small capacity turbocharged models which are carving out a name in that part of the market. Interestingly, Hyundai have an entrant there, the Veloster in both turbocharged and non turbo forms.

Hyundai and Kia are linked through a parent company and share a lot of design elements and componentry. I’d like to see the Veloster’s 1.6-litre turbo engine in the Cerato, I think there’s scope there to market a quick, sports-ori-entated version which would appeal to the younger set. It certainly has the looks and basic ingredients to start with.

KIA CERATO EX: Sharp styling with functional design.

Price: Kia Cerato EX, $40,490.Dimensions: Length, 4350mm;

width, 1780mm; height, 1450mm.Configuration: Four-cylinder

transverse, front-wheel-drive, 1999cc, 129kW, 209Nm, six-speed automatic.

Performance: 0-100km/h, 8.9sec.
