BY GABRIELLE STUART
Hoon Hay residents are worried a subdivision on flood-prone land will cause overflow on their properties.
But the developer of the Mead-owlands subdivision has promised 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 Hendersons Basin ponding area, which is part of a long-term city council flood management area.
The Riccarton-Wigram Commu-nity Board requested an engineer-ing report on drainage plans for the
land, after concerns were raised by Hendersons Rd residents.
Community board chairman Mike Mora said residents were concerned their properties would be flooded because of the develop-ment.
“That land is wet, so we want to make sure that there’s enough remediation to handle the storm
water and that existing properties won’t be flooded.”
He said a lot of work had been done to storm water catchments in the area, which might have resolved the problem.
But he said the board wanted to see more information before the subdivision development was ap-proved. • Turn to page 2

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.

• From page 1“If the developers are wrong, it could be
quite an expensive mistake for the city.”Simon Mortlock, director of subdivision
developer Danne Mora Holdings, said that a lot of research had been done on water man-agement in the planning process.
“We’ve always regarded water manage-ment as one of the biggest issues in the area, which is why we are setting aside many hect-ares of land, which could otherwise be used for development, 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 development is
to ensure that doesn’t happen. The storm wa-ter management solution will extend all the way to include those properties on Hender-sons Rd, so they will be better off for it.”
The board asked that the developer be ex-pected to contribute to remedying present or future flooding run-off or drainage issues.

Flood worry for residents
BY GABRIELLE STUART
Halswell residents will make a last-ditch ef-fort tonight to keep a bus route they cam-paigned eight years for.
The No 7 bus route, which provided a link between Halswell and several hospitals, is one of more than 20 routes set to change un-der the review.
It would be changed to cover the north-west of Halswell, rather than the south.
David Chamberlain of the Halswell Resi-dents’ Association said the route was used by a lot of elderly people to visit friends and partners at the Christchurch Hospital and at aged care facilities.
He said the association had lobbied for about eight years to get the bus on the cur-rent route.
“After fighting so hard to get the bus to the hospital it is heartbreaking to see it taken away again.”
Most of the route would still be covered by the No 60 and 100 routes, but most south Halswell residents would need to make an extra bus transfer.
An Environment Canterbury representa-tive will attend a public meeting in Halswell tonight to let people know the reasons be-hind the changes.
The meeting, which is open to any resi-dents in the area, will start at 7.30pm tonight at the Oaklands School hall.
Public submissions have closed on the changes, which are due to be finalised before the end of the year.
But Mr Chamberlain said he hoped resi-dents could persuade the representative to change the route.
“If they’re prepared to listen, I reckon we’ve got a good show of putting up a good case, and hopefully we can sway them.”

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!!

PS We have just started radio advertising on The Breeze and The Edge.
Let me know what you think!!
What do a World War 2 bomber pilot from Christchurch, a small French Village and a Villa Maria College student have in com-mon?
The link that brought these three things together is a School for Young Writers French Exchange that Villa Maria College year 13 student Sarah MacDonald has beenawarded.
The exchange is in honour of a Christchurch bomber pilot, Flight-Lieutenant Noel Stokes, whose plane was attacked by en-
emy fire on the night of July 29, 1944.
Stokes ordered his crew to bail out and manoeuvred the Lan-caster bomber to save it from crashing into the French Village of Yèvres; in doing so he was killed.
In spite of threats from the German invaders, who ordered that the bodies of Noel Stokes and rear gunner Norman Wild-ing be buried in a hole in the ground, local inhabitants risked their lives to give the men a Christian burial.
It was an act that the small village has never forgotten, and every year since 1944, the village of Yèvres has commemorated Noel Stokes’ sacrifice.
In 2005, the School for Young Writers French Exchange was established and volunteers set about securing funding for a young New Zealander to rep-resent New Zealand at the cer-emony in Yèvres every October.
The selection process involved writing an essay in French, and an interview with Madame Craw of Burnside High School
and the School for Young Writ-ers director Dr Glyn Strange.
Funding is provided by the Federation of Graduate Women, the New Zealand France Friend-ship Fund and the Papanui RSA.
Sarah will travel to France in September for two weeks where she will attend high school and be hosted by a family in Châte-audun.
She will attend, and give a speech in French, at the Yèvres ceremony, followed by an official dinner where she will be an hon-oured guest.
The curtains will open on Friday on the latest produc-tion of the Halswell Drama Group, A Night at the Mov-ies.
The show will feature musical pieces and comedy skits taken from a variety of movies, including Pitch Perfect, Singing in the Rain and Ghostbusters. The Halswell Community Choir will also feature in the production, which will run from 7pm at the Halswell Community Hall each Friday and Saturday night until September 13.
Tickets are available from www.dashtickets.co.nz, or limited numbers can be purchased at the door.

▌▌ IN BRIEF
Business group formedThe Halswell Business Network met for the first time last week. The group was formed by the Halswell Com-munity Project last year, to help lo-cal businesses network and promote local issues. Organiser Kate Cleverly said it was difficult for business own-ers to connect in the area, because Halswell was growing fast and had no central hub. The next meeting will be held on September 15 from 5.30pm at the Halswell Community Hall. There is no joining fee, but there is a charge of about $10 at each event to cover costs.

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.

More than 600 people marched along Ric-carton Rd last weekend to protest Israel’s actions in the Gaza conflict.
The protesters carried about 400 white balloons, printed with the names of Pal-estinian children killed in the conflict, which were released into the sky after the march.
The rally was organised by the group
Canterbury for Justice in Palestine.Co-organiser Lauren McGee said the
aim of the protest was to get the Govern-ment to take action, by closing the Embas-sy of Israel in Wellington.
Other protests have been held across the country this month over the conflict, and the call to close the embassy has been backed by the Mana Party.

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.

This season the Premier Team, coached by Darrel Coad and managed by Craig Sullivan, started their 2014 season preparation in
December 2013. � ey were runners up in the Pre-Season Tournament and beaten by the Riccarton Knights in the � nal game.
A� er this tournament, they hit the ground running, getting through the � rst competition round undefeated. A� er two narrow losses in the second round, they managed to � nish on top of the competition ladder by one point. � is gave the team a semi� nal playo� berth. � e winner of the semi� nal game goes automatically into the premiership grand � nal.
� e semi� nal game was against Celebration at Crosbie Park. With one minute to go, Halswell was behind by two points. Manu Weepu, of Halswell, scored in the corner. � is then gave Halswell a two-point lead, with no time le� to play.
Congratulations
What a great win and team e� ort! Halswell advanced into the grand � nal, giving them a week o� to recover and focus on the grand � nal preparation.
As it turned out, Celebration defeated the Linwood Keas the following week, which set up a magni� cent battle between the season’s two top teams.
On the Saturday before the grand � nal, there was a captain’s run at the Halswell Domain in the a� ernoon. � is gave supporters of the team an opportunity to watch their premier side train. A� er the captain’s run, there was a presentation. � ere was a jersey presented to each player. � ese jerseys were presented by two very ardent Halswell Hornet Club members, Merv Whittaker, who has done a lot of work for the club over many years, and Tracey Martin, whose health hasn’t been the best as she was diagnosed with leukaemia 12 months ago.
Brendon Tusa scoring the winning try.
All the players really appreciated Merv, Tracey and all the other supporters’ attendance at the captain’s run. You could sense from their words and actions towards Merv and Tracey that they had a desire to bring the Premiership

Magnificentgrand final win
Grand � nal day, on Sunday, August 10, started with breakfast at the Hornet’s Nest. � en we boarded the buses to get to Denton Oval
for the grand � nal game. Tracey Martin joined the Premier Team on the bus trip to Denton Oval; she was thrilled to be part of this journey.
� e grand � nal started well for Halswell. � e score at hal� ime was 24–8 to Halswell. In the second half, Celebration came out � ring and with approximately 2 minutes le� to play, the score was locked at 24-all. Halswell looked down and out due to � rst half injuries to four players. � e team
needed to dig deep in the second half due to these injuries and several referee calls made against them.
� e rest of the story is now history. Halswell scored in the corner again on full time, snatching a win from the jaws of defeat.
Celebrations for Halswell supporters and players started out on the ground, and then carried on back at the club. � ese celebrations lasted for some time, with a few people still partying until Monday night.
Once again, Joe and Bernie would like to congratulate the Halswell Premier squad coach, manager and support sta� for their magni� cent grand � nal win in 2014!

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.

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 representatives 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, likeli-hood to enable wide participa-tion, impact on social well-be-ing, 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 liquefaction from the February 2011 earthquake and the QE
II complex was eventually demolished.
But city councillor David East said the same thing would need to be done for most sites in the east.
The advisory group is still working on a report outlining what they would like to see included in the complex. That is likely to be released next month.

Security with touch technology.Digital touch technology continues to take the world by storm. Not at all limited to just media devices though, residential and office locking and safe systems deliver the latest in digital touch pad design. The team at Access Lock Specialists Ltd, stock a range of these electronic locks and safe devices.
Many lock systems are now turning to the new electronic touch technology, saving the hassle associated with keys; such as lost keys and spare keys. Names synonymous with lock security such as Yale, Lockwood and Kaba now produce touch screen locking devices, utilising both keypad and proximity technology.
The latest release is the Lockwood Digital Deadbolt which offers you flexibility with the use of a master pin code, 20 user codes and a visitor codes that can be valid from 3 hours up to 2 weeks. It also has a weather resistant keypad, low battery warning, key override for emergencies and many more features. The touch screen keypad has no mechanical buttons which means no trace of your secret pin code. The Lockwood Digital Deadbolt can easily retrofit an existing deadbolt installation, or be installed from new. It is suitable for the home, office, or light commercial doors such as storerooms and shop fronts.
Another Lockwood product using touch screen technology is the Lockwood 001 Touch. With similar features to the Lockwood Digital Deadbolt, the 001 Touch will easily retrofit an existing deadlatch or nightlatch. It utilises both pin codes and cards and the settings, codes and key cards will remain
programmed in the event the batteries are depleted.
Another lock utilising these features is the Kaba E-Flash 680. This lock is suitable for the home, office and apartments and accepts up to 100 proximity card registrations. Once you have had your E-Flash installed, set up takes only minutes and has been made extremely simple thanks to E-Flash’s voice guide function, which will talk you through the set up process step by step.
Yale Fire Safes for protecting documents and valuables from fire are another security product range which uses Touch technology. The three sizes of fire safe are complemented by the Yale Data Fire Safe which contains and additional “safe within a safe” insulation layer. This protects extra sensitive digital data, whether they are on an external hard-drive, CD ROMs, DVDs or tapes.
All products can be viewed at Access Lock Specialists showroom, 170 Waterloo Road, Hornby or online at www.accesslocks.co.nz

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, juiced
DirectionsBring 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 pre-vent 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 one
Using a Thai green curry paste makes this a quick dish to cook – curry pastes are available in sachets or bottles from supermarkets 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 skinless chicken breast, trimmed and sliced for 5 minutes to brown on both sides. Remove to one side.
Add sliced onion to the pan and stir-fry to lightly brown.
Add curry paste and gently fry for 1 minute to release flavours.
Add water and mix until smooth, then stir in the coconut milk or cream.
Return chicken to the pan and simmer very gently (do not allow to boil) for 5 minutes, stirring often.
Stir in fresh coriander and serve with lime wedges on the side to squeeze over.Chef ’s 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 serve
DirectionsTo make a caramel sauce put 4 tablespoons
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.

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.

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.

Moneygame allaboutcontrolLizKoh
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.
