Denton Park suggested for $20m south-west pool complex BY ANDREW KING Denton Park has been mooted as the best place for a new swimming pool complex. The city council has budgeted $20 million for the project which will be sited somewhere in the south-west. Deputy Mayor Vicki Buck said somewhere around Hornby High School would be an ideal venue. “The site is yet to be determined but once the 10-year plan is adopted we can start some serious discussions with the community. “Hornby High is being rebuilt so it provides a great opportunity to look there. But this is a process we will need to go through.� But Riccarton-Wigram Community Board chairman Mike Mora was against that location – saying

Email andrew.king@starmedia.kiwi with your views Denton Park is the best place for it. “Denton Park ticks all the boxes, its close to bus routes, schools and malls.â€? Mr Mora had reservations about putting the pool on Ministry of Education land because of complications latter on down the line. “If we use our own land the money can go straight into the pool itself rather than land. “Some people may feel uncomfortable driving through school grounds to get to it. •Turn to page 6

“PORTIA” - The name says it all!! Here at McMaster and Heap Vets we treat all sorts and types of loved pets. It would be fair to say cats and dogs make up probably 99% of the work we do, but occasionally we are faced with a sick “pocket” pet who needs urgent attention, and we have the necessary skills and equipment to handle these delicate little guys. Portia is a fabulously funny, cute and adventurous little rat who is loved and lives with hundreds of children – she is a very important resident at Medbury School in Ilam. Everyone knows her at the school and all the kids were worried when a large mass developed on her right side, behind her foreleg. Portia is 3 years old which is really old for a rat. Despite the lump, Portia was in such good spirits, behaving normally, eating well, running around the house, not appearing unwell at all. The only option was to surgically remove the lump and this would require an anaesthetic. There is an increased anaesthetic risk in a patient like a rat as they are so small. This means we can’t pass an endotracheal tube making it hard to ventilate them if we need to and keeping them warm
relatively easy and quickly. My nurse Kim kept a stethoscope on her heart the entire time, making sure her heart rate didn’t fall. Her incision line was glued together with special glue as rats love chewing sutures out! She woke up within minutes and hopped into her feathery warm little bed. Then she proceeded to munch on some of her food. She was injected with some pain relief, some antibiotics and some warmed fluid to help her recover from her surgery. Portia was the “perfect” patient – she handled everything perfectly and just got on with it. In our family my sons would say, “she manned up”!
can be difficult. Also we don’t have access to veins to administer intravenous drugs so she was masked down with isoflurane and oxygen. All that aside, her owners and I felt it was definitely worth attempting the surgery. The mass was going to grow even larger and was almost dragging on the ground. She was going to find it difficult to get around and there was a chance it could spread to other sites. Incidentally her lungs were radiographed and found to be clear. Portia was admitted for surgery and spent most of the day riding on our nurse Kim’s shoulders. She was nosey and inquisitive wanting to check everything and everyone out. We placed her in a special box to gently and safely anaesthetise her. Once she was sleepy she had a mask placed over her face to keep her asleep. She was gently laid on her back and to maintain her body temperature she lay on a heating pad with all her tiny legs were bubble wrapped to conserve heat. She was then wrapped in foil and blankets. The mass came out
Cancers are very common in rats and even though Portia isn’t a spring chicken, I still think she’s got a lot more living to do at Medbury. Actually if the truth be known, this was Portia’s second surgery to remove the cancerous growth. She was operated on 6 months ago as these cancers do reoccur. Due to her excellent health otherwise, it was felt Portia deserved a second
chance at surgical removal. She has come through with flying colours and can now enjoy some more time with her huge family at Medbury. Dr Michele McMaster

Burnside students get taste of success Burnside High School faced tough competition at the recent Canterbury regional competition of the National Secondary Schools Culinary Challenge as they cooked their way to success. Clize Craven and Angela Seo impressed judges with their entree of golden beetroot fritter with baby chioggia, red saute beetroot chips and goats cheese foam, accompanied by a rich beetroot butter sauce. This dish was followed by a main of chicken breast filled with semi-dried tomato and preserved lemon on a crumbed parmesan potato cake, with char-roasted seasonal baby vegetables with a tomato butter sauce. The judges commented about the high standard overall and the amazing food presented by all the schools. They said the winning team worked like professional chefs and did a great job with both the entree and main course. NSSCC event organiser Glenn Fulcher was impressed by the high standard shown by all participants. “The Burnside team was very well prac-
tised and showed fantastic culinary trade skills with making sausages, introducing different textures and cooking the chicken to perfection. “This year we had three teams from Australia join the regional event and although they weren’t eligible to win the overall title, they still came to compete and did a fantastic job.” The judging panel at the Canterbury event included Mr Fulcher, Darren Wright (NZ Beef & Lamb Ambassador, NZ Chefs Fonterra Culinary Olympic team member and chef/owner Chillingworth Rd restaurant Christchurch) and Neil McInnes (CPIT and NZ Chefs Fonterra Culinary Olympic team manager). Students were scored across a number of criteria: Food preparation, hygiene, presentation, taste and the use of New Zealand grown vegetables and chicken. The next regional event is Auckland south/east on July 1 at MIT, and the national final will be held on August 28 in Auckland.

Kirkwood Ave resident Graeme Bennetts is rapt the plan to convert a rest home into university student accommodation has been delayed for a year. Canterbury University wanted to put students into the St Nicolas Care Home in Kirkwood Ave, Ilam, but nearby residents were concerned. Mr Bennetts said that it was good it had been put on hold so that talks between the university and residents could take place. “It gives us the chance to have a better conversation with the university. “We want to try to minimise the impact on the surrounding area,” Mr Bennetts said. Riccarton-Wigram Community Board chairman Mike Mora was pleased that the residents had more time and said it showed the fantastic relationship the community had with the board and the university. “It will give people a lot more time to talk about this issue. “It’s really good how the university has communicated with the residents and the relationship between the university, the residents and the community board has allowed great communication.’’ Mr Mora said that this was what

Living and breathing it – For Chris Goldsbury hockey is his life. From playing in the Canterbury Premier League, to coaching three teams and working for Canterbury Hockey, his days are filled with the sport that he grew up watching on the sidelines. He talks to Jaimie Keay
FULL ON: In spite of coaching three teams and working fulltime for Canterbury Hockey, Chris Goldsbury still finds time to have a run around on a Saturday for Carlton-Redcliffs in the premier grade.
Chris you’re not from Christchurch so how did you come to live here? I got offered a hockey scholarship for Lincoln University in 2008 which worked out well, as I always had intentions of getting out of Auckland for a bit. Christchurch seemed like a good place to come and being lucky enough to gain a scholarship, it helped not having a student loan. It was quite a bit of a change but being a part of the scholarship programme and having hockey made it easier. When I first came down I got picked in the Canterbury under-21 side and I was the only one not from Christchurch in the team. I got a bit of stick from the guys but we went on to win the tournament and beat Auckland in the final which was awesome. How old where you when you first started playing hockey? I was eight and got called up by one of our family friends who needed someone to fill in for a couple of games so I went along. I then continued for the season and really enjoyed it. I was at the time playing rugby as well so the following season I played both and then the year after I
dropped rugby and just focused on hockey. What did you like about playing hockey? I think the fact that in my first season playing I made an Auckland rep team. I had only been playing for six months and I got picked which was pretty cool. I had been playing rugby for about five years and it wasn’t looking likely that I would be going far with it. My dad was also a hockey player so he was pleased that I decided to give hockey a good crack. Are you still playing? Yes, I play for Carlton-Redcliffs prem men’s team. This season we are sitting in third place, we have lost a couple of games but we are still in the hunt. You spent a bit of time in Germany playing hockey, can you tell me about that. I spent a couple of years playing for a club called Monchengladbach. One
of my Christchurch mates was playing in Holland the year before and said ‘come over and join me,’ so I tried to pursue that in Holland but it didn’t work out. But then we got a chance to head to Germany so two of us went over and played for two different clubs, but we were only half an hour away, which really helped have someone close enough when English isn’t their first language. I initially had the intention of going over for a year and then come back to Lincoln on scholarship, as they were happy for me to do a year playing overseas but I enjoyed it so much I stayed on for another season. I did a bit of travelling around and saw a bit of Europe which was lots of fun. Coming back from Germany to Christchurch post-earthquake how did you find the experience? I decided to come back to Christchurch to finish off my degree. It was quite a shock at first coming back. I was here for both the quakes but I didn’t experience the aftermath. It was quite strange, of course everything had changed, in particular the dynamic of the hockey community. We were all used to playing at the same ground and having that real community feel to it but now we are spread out and the connections just were quite different. You also work for Canterbury Hockey, how did that come about? They did a restructure in 2013, made a couple of changes and got a new CEO. It then opened up an opportunity for the rep programme to be looked after by one staff member.

hockey sticks with Chris It got contracted out to one of the local hockey business guys, Glenn Hayde. He needed a bit of help and I was able to fit it in around my part-time study. Once I finished uni I had to decide what I wanted to do and Glenn was happy to step down for me to take on the full-time role. The marketing side of it just pretty much happened to fall onto my desk. It is a challenging job at times and it can be tough also playing and coaching, but I do enjoy working with people and seeing people enjoying what they do. Having been involved in hockey since I was about three, watching dad play, it is quite cool to be able to work in a sport that I’ve been involved in for so long. How did you get into coaching? I did a little bit when I was at school helping out the junior teams and dad had always been involved as a coach. He coached a lot of teams I was involved in and I guess I knew how he did things and how he operated. When I came to Christchurch, I was looking for a bit of extra money while I was studying so I did a bit here on the side. Then when we went to Germany we coached the youth girls and boys team and the division 2 men’s team which was about four or five times a week. The language barrier of course made things interesting. At the moment I’m coaching three teams. The Christ’s College first

Denton Park suggested for south-west pool complex •From page 1 Mr Mora said that the land could be leased off the ministry for 50 years and then after that it would end up being a ministry asset. “We wouldn’t be able to renew the lease after 50 years. After that it would revert to the ministry.” However, Cr Buck had spoken to the ministry about longer leases and they had assured her that this would not be a problem. “I asked the Ministry of Education property person the other day if that had to be the case and could we avoid that, and they have no problem with that. “I know Mike mentions that often, so I checked and [it’s] not an issue.” Both agreed it was great news for the community who had been wanting a new pool for over 10 years. “We are very pleased about it, we have been lacking it for a long time. We will be able to swim all year round,’’ Mr Mora said. “We have been fighting for it since the Sockburn Pool closed in 2004.’’

Photos portray changing face of Halswell BY ADELE REDMOND The changing face of post-quake Halswell is coming into focus in a digital photography exhibition to be displayed at the opening of Te Hapua: Halswell Centre in November. Halswell Library is seeking volunteers to be photographed for new additions to its online archives as many move out of the eastern suburbs. Hundreds have already been photographed for the collaboration between Christchurch City Libraries and the Canterbury
University’s School of Fine Arts that hopes to create a taonga for future generations. Christchurch City Libraries’ libraries and information unit manager Carolyn Robertson said the project aimed to ensure the preservation of the community’s identity and memory. “Interns were given a brief to document the environment and people of the wider Halswell area,” she said. “The images of people are a mixture of formally-posed portraits within homes and workplaces, as
well as candid pictures taken on streets or at public events.” Canterbury University photography lecturer Timothy Veling said three of his students were involved in creating an overall picture of local schools, clubs, shops and businesses as they stood today. “We know that it’s an area undergoing fast development, and it’s an archive of material recording that development. In the past we’ve done projects out in Aranui, but this is the first student-led project.” He said the internships gave
students a chance to work on an immersive and personal project alongside industry professionals. “They get to go out and practice these skills in a way that they don’t often get to do before they finish their degree,” he said. Robertson said a selection of the final output would be displayed with all images archived in the city libraries’ digital heritage collection. •Residents wanting to be photographed for the project can phone Halswell Library on 941 7923.
ORGANIC HORTICULTURE COURSES
Instruction in organic horticulture is now well established at the Lincoln-based Organic Training College. The next year-long course, which begins on 17th August, will be the eighth intake for the college. Students need no prior qualifications or experience to commence Year One and can study full or parttime. Those who have some horticultural background can go straight into Year Two. An added appeal of the course is that all fees are under $500, and full time students are eligible to apply for a loan or allowance through Studylink.
Course Director Bill Martin says it works well to start the course year in the spring. “The organic horticulture course is all about growing so we want to start the course in spring when it is the right time to begin planting.” Year One students get plenty of hands on training in subjects such as sowing and planting organic crops, soil management
and composting. The Year Two students have the option of using land and facilities on the Biological Husbandry Unit (BHU) Farm to grow and sell their own certified produce – a semicommercial venture that gives students a real taste of organic horticulture as a business. The students grow vegetables under the guidance of a mentor and sell them at a weekly stall at Lincoln University. “The Year 2 programme gives the students experience in a commercial environment without any risk. It’s the icing on the cake for a lot of the students here,” says Bill Martin.
ORGANIC Horticultural Courses
As well as the year-long organic horticulture courses a distance (correspondence) programme in organics is also available.
The Biological Husbandry Unit Organics Programmes
The Organic Training College is located at the Biological Husbandry Unit at Lincoln University. There are 10 hectares of certified organic land as well as greenhouses, tunnel houses and research areas.
Applied Organics:

Hornby High School Years 7 – 13
Commitment, Achievement, Resilience, Respect
Visitors arrive from Thailand Long-serving teacher retires Kia ora koutou. Talofa. Kia Orana. Malo e lelei. Bula. Fakaalofa atu. Namaste. Kumusta. Haere mai ki Te Huruhuru Ao o Horomaka. Warm greetings to the Hornby High School community. Mrs Frances Coburn, our Japanese and Classics teacher, retired on Friday, June 12. Mrs Coburn began at HHS in 1981 and over the years has had many roles. Two in particular are her 12 years as staff trustee on the Board and the creation of our sister-school relationship with Tokiwagi School in Sendai, Japan. We sincerely thank Mrs Coburn for decades of service to the Hornby community and to education. It is a double-end of an era as her husband, Mr Gary Coburn, was a foundation staff member in 1975. We wish Mr and Mrs Coburn every happiness in their retirement. Our whole-school rebuild: our masterplanning architects are Stephenson and Turner, led by Mr Murray Robertson. Mr Robertson’s role in this master-planning part of the rebuild process is to produce a general outline of buildings placement. What is to be the “flow” of our new buildings? Which buildings are to be next to one another and where, on what is thankfully our sizeable school site, will the school campus be situated? Open community feedback on the draft master-plan will occur in the first weeks of next term. I am very aware that it is the quality of the relationship between the student and teacher that is at the heart of the teaching-learning equation, but it is very clear that well-designed buildings and spaces can assist in this too. It is exciting that it is now Hornby’s turn for physical redevelopment. Recently I attended a wonderful music evening, “Hornby Sings”, which involved a wide variety of students from Yr 7 to Yr 13, as well as staff. What these positive performances reinforced to me is how lucky we are to be Hornby. We have fine young people in our community who wish to make the most of their lives and, each day, are unstintingly loyal to their

Mrs Coburn is pictured with her husband, Gary Coburn, also formerly a Hornby teacher and later Riccarton High School principal. family, friends and community. They are wonderful people. As ever, Hornby HS’s primary focus remains the academic and social well-being of our wonderful students, Yr 7 to 13, and our 2015 mantra of “Actively Involved Learners”. This newsletter itself shows the positive activity in a busy secondary school. Common sense and formal research are united and very clear on the attitudes, skills and knowledge that lead secondary school students on to a successful post-school pathway, both in tertiary study and in employment. It is the daily focus on these attributes, principally through our CARR values – Commitment, Achievement, Resilience, Respect – that is at the heart of our school. Finally, schools can be complex places. If for any reason you wish to talk to me about an issue please contact the office to arrange a time for this to occur. My door is open.
Hornby welcomed 17 UCE students and their teacher from Thailand earlier this term. The students were in New Zealand for five weeks and enjoyed visits to local attractions as well as joining regular classes and mixing with Kiwi students. Thank you to the students and staff who made their stay so enjoyable as well as the homestay families who shared their homes with the students.
Outdoors experienced at chilly camp Year 10 students attended the annual camp held at the Boyle River Outdoor Education Centre where the focus was on team building and developing communication skills through a series of challenges. The students also learnt about the local environment and human impact on it. One session was spent planting native species around the Boyle River Lodge. The weather was a little challenging but it was a great week completed by some amazing snowball fights.

Successful Kiwi Can class joined by MPs Wigram MP Megan Woods and her Labour Christchurch East colleague Poto Williams returned to the classroom this week when they joined in the Kiwi Can class at Hornby Primary. Having heard in Wellington of the successes of Kiwi Can programme in reducing bullying and providing students with key life skills and the support it has provided to overcome the effects of the earthquakes, the two decided they needed to see the programme in action. During the session they joined in the games used to reinforce children’s learning, helped with the general knowledge questions and assisted in awarding the class reward points at the end of the session. The class had a focus on positive relations and the children taught the politicians about positive communications, co-operation and how to be a good friend. Kiwi Can is currently taught in four schools in Hornby and is planned to be delivered in schools in the east and south-east of the city next year.

Black ice, caused this week by rain at night turning to a below zero frost the next morning kept emergency services busy on Tuesday with a number of minor crashes in the city and sadly a couple of serious crashes further out. The winter cold accounted for a number of fire calls including an unfortunate lady in Sydenham who went outside on to her balcony on Monday morning and had the door slam shut behind her. It was cold. It was raining. A neighbour threw her a blanket and the Addington crew arrived and helped her down within 15min. Not a big deal, except for the poor woman involved. Exposure is a real possibility this winter.

Wheelie bins on fire in Portchester St in Aranui last Sunday morning were attributed to fire ash placed in one of them days before. While I’m not completely convinced one of the idiot arsonists we suffer in this city wasn’t responsible, I do know how long ash can take to cool. The short answer, fire ash and a wheelie bin – dont. I’ve got to give the Harewood fire crew a bouquet. On Monday morning, after the lousy night before, they were called to assist an elderly lady in Highsted Ave who had woken to her fence collapsed over the footpath. She couldn’t move it and didn’t know who to ask for help. Not only did Harewood’s brown watch lift the fence, they spend 20min nailing it back into place. Great service.

Players score big with hockey scholarships BY JAIMIE KEAY For Bella Forbes and Izzy Brown, the opportunity to study for free in the United States on a hockey scholarship was too good of a chance to pass up. The former St Margaret’s College students are off to the US in August to begin their tertiary education, at the University of California in Berkeley and the University of Iowa respectively. Rising through the ranks of Canterbury and Southern representative teams, the midfield duo have a chance to further their hockey careers in the competitive US college system. Bella has been a member of the Canterbury representative side since under-15s, and was named in the Junior Black Sticks at the end of last year. Izzy made the decision to play her rep hockey for Southern last year, just to change things up. “I had been involved in Canterbury sides since year 6 so I was due to change and looked into the option of switching. The Southern coaches were really relaxed and versatile with me which made my life a lot easier.” With the end of high school looming, Bella said she was a bit lost on what to do next. “I knew I wanted to travel,

At that stage I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to do uni wise and they gave me the details of Jess.” Both girls were required to compile a video package showcasing their hockey skills, and had Skype interviews with coaches at their prospective schools.

Parents of year 6 students are encouraged to take a good look at their child’s full primary school when choosing schooling for 2016. 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 2016 as they were in 1877.
What makes them successful? • They have evolved over time and have responded to the different demographic changes since 1877. • They are located in neighbourhoods; they cater for families and respond to community needs. • They are staffed by highly trained teachers who know curriculum levels from level 1 – 5 who have had the same teacher training as teachers in other year 7 and 8 school types. • Teachers in the students current full primary school know about individual students learning progress and learning style from year 1 – 8. • Developing the whole child, flexibility, nurture, innovation and child centered learning sum up full primary schools. • Year 7 and 8 intermediate age students are the leaders and role models along with the adults in a full primary school. • School organisation in a full primary school fits the needs of students not the timetable.
What does the research tell us about the learning needs of Year 7 and 8 students? • Curriculum that is relevant, challenging, integrative, and exploratory • Multiple learning and teaching approaches • Assessment and evaluation programs that promote quality learning • Organizational structures that support meaningful relationships and learning • Educators who value working with the age group • Courageous, collaborative leadership • School-wide efforts and policies that foster health, wellness, and safety • Multifaceted guidance and support services • School-initiated family and community partnerships

• These opportunities and strategies to build leadership, key competencies and resilience are available to all , Anthony Pollock, Cathy intermediate age children in a full primary. en, Bridget
, Liza
Looking at the above list it becomes clear that it isn’t school type or school architecture that makes the difference for intermediate age children. It is instead the learning and the attitude of professionals to this cohort of students. This can happen in any school setting as long as the leadership, teachers and nonteaching staff are committed. Full Primary Schools are providers of intermediate aged education in every way that other types of schools are.

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

A
t the adjoining physio clinic, the three qualified physiotherapists specialise in dealing with chronic pain, such as headaches, earache, toothache, and facial and jaw pain. As physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk explains, when our muscles tighten this can refer pain to many of the areas around the face and head. Dehydration can be the catalyst for tightening the neck muscle (SCM), which causes pain in the ear, forehead and around the eye and jaw joint areas. Tightening of
the temporalis muscle can refer pain to the teeth, which can be confusing when the person visits the dentist to have it checked and the dentist can’t find a reason for the recurring pain. Teeth grinding at night and teeth clenching during the day, are also a major cause of muscle tightening. Physiotherapy treatment for these problems, is based on deactivating the ‘trigger points’ through hands-on massage therapy, to relax the muscles, which is the least invasive

Dry needling is another technique used for muscle relaxation, but is only used with the client’s consent, Ietje says. “We release the muscles to give immediate relief and at the same time work on the cause. For example, we have a feedback headband that is worn at night to help people to learn not to clench their teeth while they’re asleep. We also work on the client’s cervical or neck part of the spine, where overuse can cause muscles to tighten, creating pain.” Teaching self-management of stress is an important aspect of the clinic’s treatment, as well as teaching breathing techniques, which

For example, the next Jamboree is in January 2016 in Christchurch for girls aged 9 to 14 years old, so now is a good time for girls and leaders to get involved. We are also keen to talk to any women aged above 18 who may be interested in volunteering as a leader. “Leaders have as much fun as the girls do and no experience is necessary as all the training is provided”.

ften one of the first questions people ask when enquiring about joining aikido is ‘what ages do you cater for’ or ‘am I too old?’” says Aikido Shinryukan Canterbury chief instructor Andrew Williamson. “I always tell them aikido is suitable for all ages. Everyone is welcome.” With current membership of over 210 students in Aikido Shinryukan Canterbury, the ages range from 5 to 12 years in the kids’ classes and 13 to 70 in the adults’ classes. “Our aim is to build students’ skills. It doesn’t matter where people start from as
long as they improve,” says Williamson. Aikido Shinryukan Canterbury offers five basic classes each week through which beginners join. Training is “stepped” to the ability of the beginner. As beginners progress, they can join first the general and then advanced classes. Through its dojos in Burnside and Linwood, Aikido Shinryukan Canterbury offers training near you. The timetable of 23 classes weekly ensure that you can find a flexible training schedule that will suit. For more info about Aikido Shinryukan Canterbury, phone Andrew 383 4843.

HEALTH
Sugar hits pack a long-term punch You may not realise it, but your sugar consumption has likely increased over the past several years. Beyond what you add to your coffee or the occasional sweet treat, you may be getting hidden sugar from an array of processed foods, such as tomato sauce and salad dressing. Even conventional baby food contains added sugar. And all those additions can be troubling to your health, say experts. “Sugar is directly linked to obesity, tooth decay, diabetes, fatigue, headaches, arthritis, adrenal burnout and physiological and emotional problems,” says Steve Weston, director of ambassador relations/ nutrition expert of Sunwarrior, a producer of raw, plant-based supplements. For improved health, here are several ways to become more mindful about your sugar consumption: •There are many names and forms of sugar so learning to read food labels helps. Generally speaking, if an ingredient ends with -ose, then it’s a sugar. •Keep the sugar off the table and in the pantry. You’ll be less likely to add it to your meals. There are plenty of foods that you may be adding sugar to that are already sugary on their own – from cereal to fresh fruit. •Don’t use artificial sweeteners. It may seem natural to reach for an artificial sweetener when you’re attempting to cut back on the real deal, but it’s a mistake. Most artificial sweeteners actually increase cravings for sugary foods. If you do need a boost of sweetness,

Using low temperatures, enzymes, whole grains and superfoods, Sunwarrior’s process creates plant-based proteins that taste great and supply all the essential amino acids your body craves. •Pay attention to your skin, which is a reflection of your health and the quality of your nutrition. If you consume too much sugar, particularly from processed foods, a chemical reaction can form a rogue molecule known as an advanced glycation end product. Undesirable effects include wrinkles and droopy skin. By learning more about the foods you eat and making wise choices, you can reduce your sugar intake without missing out on flavour.
Fat may halt heart disease The fat surrounding blood vessels can help fight heart disease. The new research might help explain the paradox that people with a body mass index that signifies obesity are actually more likely to live longer after a heart attack than someone who has a healthier BMI. The studies, led by a British Heart Foundation research fellow Professor Charalambos Antoniades, involved analysis of tissue collected from heart surgery patients. Antoniades found the heart, and the arteries supplying blood to it, send out an SOS to the fat surrounding these tissues to stimulate a defence mechanism against early stages of coronary heart

disease. The research revealed that during oxidative stress – a process that leads to the furring of the arteries known as atherosclerosis – the fat surrounding the vessels and heart releases chemicals that minimise it and also help prevent the development of heart disease. The chemicals are antiinflammatory to minimise the inflammation triggered by oxidative stress and antioxidant to target the process itself. Antoniades acknowledged that “fat has a bad reputation.” “But we’re learning more and more about how and why certain types of fat in the body are actually essential for good heart health.”
The team is looking at how these healthy processes can be weakened if the fat is unhealthy, as can be the case if a person has type 2 diabetes. The researchers are developing treatments to reverse this. By using a newly developed technology based on high-resolution computerised tomography, they are also trying to monitor the behaviour of fat in the human body, and guide future therapeutic interventions to prevent cardiovascular diseases. This could allow doctors to detect the earliest stages of heart disease and direct treatment to prevent the development of the disease, which can lead to a heart attack.

CPIT graduate and budding butler to train with
London’s finest
Maori-Pasifika trades training giving students
skills for rebuild and beyond
C
PIT-trained food and hospitality professional Simon Wilke, who got his start through the New Zealand Government-led Youth Guarantee scheme, is about to take a new career turn; to be a British-trained butler. The National Diploma in Hospitality Management graduate has been accepted into the London-based British Butler Institute, an international school for butler and front of house professionals. His course starts in September, with guaranteed work placement afterwards at the famous London hotel, The Ritz, in October. He is taking his hospitality and cooking skills around the world and intends to build on his training in operational and management methods, international workplaces, worldwide front office operations, global food and beverage service, functions, events and human resources. On his course, Wilke also learned about presentation and professionalism, which are valuable attributes in a modern butler, who must be capable of taking on any daily task, from ironing a shirt to organising a dinner party. “I owe so much to CPIT. I walked through the door not a very confident person, and walked out a confident one, with a whole set of skills.” After leaving Christchurch’s Middleton Grange School in 2010, he signed up for the government training initiative, the Youth Guarantee scheme, to do a Certificate in Hospitality so he could continue his studies and learn practical skills.
Dinner is served: Former Youth Guarantee scheme student and CPIT Food and Hospitality graduate Simon Wilke is off to learn butlery skills at a prestigious London school.
“I saw it as a way of getting where I wanted to go and to start a great career, to get the experience I needed along with a qualification.” Enrolment in CPIT’s National Diploma of Hospitality Management was the next logical step. He graduated in 2013 and since then has worked at several well-known restaurants in Canterbury, including Beaufort House at Akaroa and Flames Italian Restaurant. To fund his UK travel and $10,000 course, Wilke continues to be involved in his family’s drainlaying business by day and as a maitre d’ at Christchurch’s Protocol Public House and Kitchen by night. Wilke intends to return to New Zealand to do the CPIT Bachelor of Hospitality Management, specialising in events and intends to keep in contact with the institute. “I’d like to give back to CPIT because they really gave me a kick start.”

T
he Pasifika Trades Training programme and Maori-led He Toki ki te Rika initiative are providing opportunities for Maori and Pasifika people to learn a trade and contribute to the Christchurch rebuild. CPIT offers full scholarships in a New Zealand Government-led Skills for Canterbury package, and the South Island iwi-led He Toki scheme brings together the strengths, knowledge, expertise, capability and network of Te Runanga o Ngai Tahu, the Hawkins Group and CPIT. He Toki carpentry pre-trade trainee Semiko Tallot-Stuart, 19, is thriving in the environment provided by these initiatives and aims to be Hawkins’ first ever female apprentice. “Hawkins, He Toki and CPIT are very passionate about what they do with us. They want to see us succeed,” she said. The former officer/worker and her He Toki trade colleagues are supervised by Hawkins’
site manager Tony Coles, who is also in charge of the CPIT Trades’ new workshop complex. “My first two He Toki trainees Lio Tauanu’u and Amos Neate have been really good apprentices – I’ve got a lot of time for them. Semiko’s still young, and she’s coming along, absorbing all she needs to know to be an apprentice,” Coles said. The ex-New Zealand Army staff sergeant and veteran builder of 36 years believes good communication is one of the best skills an apprentice should develop. “Building is about plumb, straight and true, but it’s also about how to deal with people.” He said there’s never been a better time to be an apprentice, with so much work in the building industry with the rebuild for the next 10 to 15 years. He Toki and Pasifika Trades Training offer free trades training in carpentry, civil construction, engineering, furniture and joinery, general engineering, painting, plaster board and plumbing and gasfitting.

CPIT graduate and budding butler to train with
London’s finest
Maori-Pasifika trades training giving students
skills for rebuild and beyond
C
PIT-trained food and hospitality professional Simon Wilke, who got his start through the New Zealand Government-led Youth Guarantee scheme, is about to take a new career turn; to be a British-trained butler. The National Diploma in Hospitality Management graduate has been accepted into the London-based British Butler Institute, an international school for butler and front of house professionals. His course starts in September, with guaranteed work placement afterwards at the famous London hotel, The Ritz, in October. He is taking his hospitality and cooking skills around the world and intends to build on his training in operational and management methods, international workplaces, worldwide front office operations, global food and beverage service, functions, events and human resources. On his course, Wilke also learned about presentation and professionalism, which are valuable attributes in a modern butler, who must be capable of taking on any daily task, from ironing a shirt to organising a dinner party. “I owe so much to CPIT. I walked through the door not a very confident person, and walked out a confident one, with a whole set of skills.” After leaving Christchurch’s Middleton Grange School in 2010, he signed up for the government training initiative, the Youth Guarantee scheme, to do a Certificate in Hospitality so he could continue his studies and learn practical skills.
Dinner is served: Former Youth Guarantee scheme student and CPIT Food and Hospitality graduate Simon Wilke is off to learn butlery skills at a prestigious London school.
“I saw it as a way of getting where I wanted to go and to start a great career, to get the experience I needed along with a qualification.” Enrolment in CPIT’s National Diploma of Hospitality Management was the next logical step. He graduated in 2013 and since then has worked at several well-known restaurants in Canterbury, including Beaufort House at Akaroa and Flames Italian Restaurant. To fund his UK travel and $10,000 course, Wilke continues to be involved in his family’s drainlaying business by day and as a maitre d’ at Christchurch’s Protocol Public House and Kitchen by night. Wilke intends to return to New Zealand to do the CPIT Bachelor of Hospitality Management, specialising in events and intends to keep in contact with the institute. “I’d like to give back to CPIT because they really gave me a kick start.”

The world’s her oyster: Upcoming He Toki apprentice Semiko Tallott-Stuart is learning skills for her new carpentry career.
T
he Pasifika Trades Training programme and Maori-led He Toki ki te Rika initiative are providing opportunities for Maori and Pasifika people to learn a trade and contribute to the Christchurch rebuild. CPIT offers full scholarships in a New Zealand Government-led Skills for Canterbury package, and the South Island iwi-led He Toki scheme brings together the strengths, knowledge, expertise, capability and network of Te Runanga o Ngai Tahu, the Hawkins Group and CPIT. He Toki carpentry pre-trade trainee Semiko Tallot-Stuart, 19, is thriving in the environment provided by these initiatives and aims to be Hawkins’ first ever female apprentice. “Hawkins, He Toki and CPIT are very passionate about what they do with us. They want to see us succeed,” she said. The former officer/worker and her He Toki trade colleagues are supervised by Hawkins’
site manager Tony Coles, who is also in charge of the CPIT Trades’ new workshop complex. “My first two He Toki trainees Lio Tauanu’u and Amos Neate have been really good apprentices – I’ve got a lot of time for them. Semiko’s still young, and she’s coming along, absorbing all she needs to know to be an apprentice,” Coles said. The ex-New Zealand Army staff sergeant and veteran builder of 36 years believes good communication is one of the best skills an apprentice should develop. “Building is about plumb, straight and true, but it’s also about how to deal with people.” He said there’s never been a better time to be an apprentice, with so much work in the building industry with the rebuild for the next 10 to 15 years. He Toki and Pasifika Trades Training offer free trades training in carpentry, civil construction, engineering, furniture and joinery, general engineering, painting, plaster board and plumbing and gasfitting.
“Building is about plumb, straight and true, but it’s also about how to deal with people.”
