Flora and fauna flourishing in new wetland<br />

upset over<br />

GROWTH: The new wetland that has been developed in Quaifes Rd.<br />

NATIVE FLORA and fauna<br />

are starting to flourish in a new<br />

wetland area in Halswell.<br />

The artificial wetland has<br />

been created at Quaifes Rd<br />

to capture and naturally filter<br />

stormwater before it flows into<br />

Lake Ellesmere via the Halswell<br />

River.<br />

It’s one of several new wetland<br />

areas that the city council has<br />

constructed to manage stormwater<br />

and improve the quality of water<br />

flowing into our rivers.<br />

“These new wetland areas act<br />

as storage basins in large rain<br />

events and will lessen the risk of<br />

our rivers flooding,’’ city council<br />

head of three waters and waste<br />

Helen Beaumont said.<br />

“They also bring<br />

environmental and recreational<br />

benefits. They naturally filter<br />

the stormwater before it enters<br />

our waterways and provide new<br />

habitats for native flora and<br />

fauna.<br />

BARNETT PARK users are<br />

disappointed three large rocks<br />

that tumbled onto the park from<br />

Clifton Hill during the <strong>February</strong><br />

22, 2011 earthquake have been<br />

removed.<br />

The rocks have been taken to<br />

the Te Pae convention centre by<br />

Ōtākaro Ltd, the Government<br />

agency responsible for anchor<br />

projects in the central city. They<br />

will be used as part of the landscaping.<br />

The city council said yesterday it<br />

gave permission for Ōtākaro Ltd<br />

to remove the rocks.<br />

“The community was not<br />

consulted over their removal,<br />

however, their presence in Barnett<br />

Park was only temporary – they<br />

were originally put in a pile<br />

here by the council following<br />

the earthquakes,” a city council<br />

spokesperson said.<br />

Elsa Truscott, who walks<br />

dogs in Barnett Park, said the<br />

community should have been<br />

consulted before the rocks were<br />

taken.<br />

Request to keep dogs<br />

on a lead in wetland<br />

• From page 1<br />

“We’ve planted around 60,000<br />

native plants in the new Quaifes<br />

Rd wetland and it’s<br />

attracting lots of native<br />

birds, including a nesting<br />

pair of pied stilts.<br />

There’s lots of tall grass<br />

and a rocky area too, so<br />

it is a good habitat for<br />

lizards.<br />

“It is a great place<br />

to explore and we<br />

encourage people to<br />

visit and take a walk through the<br />

wetland. If you are bringing a<br />

dog with you, please keep it on a<br />

Helen<br />

Beaumont<br />

leash because we don’t want dogs<br />

disturbing the nesting birds or<br />

chicks.<br />

“The stormwater in<br />

the wetland might also<br />

contain pollutants and potentially<br />

toxic algae so we<br />

do advise that people and<br />

pets avoid contact with the<br />

water,’’ Ms Beaumont says.<br />

“Because this is a<br />

working wetland, the<br />

grassy areas will grow<br />

long at times. There are<br />

also no public toilets so please<br />

bear that in mind if you are<br />

planning a visit.’’<br />

Natural playground for children gone<br />

• From page 1<br />

“They were quite a cool feature<br />

in a park that is quite empty.<br />

They were also a good memory<br />

keeper of the Christchurch<br />

earthquakes,” she said.<br />

The rocks had become a natural<br />

playground for children to<br />

climb on.<br />

People also liked to have their<br />

photo taken while posing on the<br />

rocks.<br />

Mt Pleasant resident Amanda<br />

Rudkin lived on Clifton Hill<br />

before the earthquake still regularly<br />

visits the park with her two<br />

children, Quinn and Ava.<br />

“The rocks are an iconic part<br />

of the community,” she said.<br />

“They weren’t just rocks to<br />

the locals, they were part of<br />

our earthquake story and the<br />

children loved them for climbing<br />

so they had an connection<br />

too. It was great for kids to have<br />

natural resources to climb.”<br />

Rudkin said Ava were “quite<br />

upset” when they watched the<br />

rocks being loaded onto a truck<br />

on Monday.<br />

ADVERTORIAL<br />

170 years of Prep School Excellence<br />

Educational matters have<br />

been much in the news at the<br />

start of the school year. At St<br />

Michael’s, we are delighted<br />

that history teaching has finally<br />

been acknowledged as essential<br />

for developing well-informed,<br />

articulate Kiwi citizens.<br />

For at St Michael’s, history<br />

is our foundation. As New<br />

Zealand’s oldest prep school,<br />

for 170 years we have educated<br />

and nurtured the visionaries and<br />

dreamers who have built our<br />

city and country, shaping our<br />

history and future.<br />

At St Michael’s, our<br />

young pupils have limitless<br />

potential to lead exciting and<br />

generous lives, and we have<br />

the responsibility to educate<br />

and inspire them, to encourage<br />

every child to flourish in<br />

mind, body and spirit.<br />

St Michael’s is a prep school<br />

for girls and boys in Years<br />

1-8. ‘Prep’ as in a preparation<br />

for secondary school, and a<br />

foundation for a fine life. For<br />

at the heart of St Michael’s<br />

are the essential values of<br />

Christian faith and good global<br />

citizenship: respect, integrity,<br />

faith, hope and love.<br />

Our small co-ed classes and<br />

specialist teachers ensure that<br />

each child is an individual,<br />

well known by staff and fellow<br />

pupils alike. Every child has a<br />

desk and chair, locker and peg<br />

– their own space in which to<br />

establish their own sense of<br />

place and identity.<br />

Traditional foundations<br />

in English and Mathematics<br />

are assured at St Michael’s.<br />

The mechanics of English –<br />

punctuation, grammar, spelling,<br />

vocabulary and sentence<br />

construction – are taught,<br />

practised and tested. Learning<br />

to read develops into reading<br />

to learn, and the delights of<br />

children’s literature, poetry<br />

and drama. Simple sentences<br />

become finely crafted creative<br />

writing, accounts and studies.<br />

Maths teaching has been<br />

in the media firing line again<br />

recently as our national results<br />

continue to slide against key<br />

international markers. At St<br />

Michael’s, we keep it simple<br />

and teach proper, ‘good, old<br />

fashioned’ maths. Our pupils<br />

are taught and have to learn<br />

basic facts, times tables and<br />

essential algorithm methods.<br />

We don’t bundle anything! Our<br />

parents can help their children<br />

with their maths homework,<br />

because they recognise it!<br />

This academic rigour then<br />

underpins our wider curriculums<br />

in History, Geography and<br />

Science. Spanish and, for the<br />

older pupils, Latin, offer the<br />

enrichment of learning another<br />

language and about another<br />

culture. IT literacy is taught,<br />

not assumed, and computer use<br />

is measured. We like teaching<br />

and talking to our pupils!<br />

A prep education offers<br />

balance. St Michael’s cultural<br />

and sports’ programmes<br />

further develop each child’s<br />

foundation, as creativity and<br />

problem-solving come in many<br />

forms. Specialist art and music<br />

classes are enjoyed weekly.<br />

Many pupils participate in<br />

individual instrumental, singing<br />

or speech & drama lessons with<br />

one of our ten itinerant staff.<br />

Our several choirs, Stage Band<br />

and Orchestra offer key early<br />

steps in group performance.<br />

Our senior programme,<br />

Parare, advances our Year 7&8<br />

education outside the box, from<br />

financial literacy to outdoor ed,<br />

leadership challenges to new<br />

sports, citizenship and civics to<br />

art and technologies.<br />

Nestled as we are on the<br />

banks of the Avon, opposite<br />

the Riverside Farmers’ Market,<br />

ST MICHAEL’S ALUMNI<br />

To help us celebrate 170 years of St<br />

Michael’s Prep School excellence at the<br />

heart of our city, alumni and former staff<br />

are warmly invited to contact us so we can<br />

share our anniversary plans with you.<br />

alumni@saintmichaels.co.nz<br />

St Michael’s extended campus<br />

is spectacular: the art gallery,<br />

museum, library, theatres and<br />

Hagley Park are frequent haunts<br />

only minutes away.<br />

Many of our parents work<br />

in the thriving city centre, and<br />

Lincoln and Riccarton Road<br />

hubs, but they live city-wide.<br />

They comment on the comfort<br />

of knowing their children are in<br />

school nearby and the benefits<br />

of popping over for an hour to<br />

catch a performance or watch a<br />

race.<br />

With the central bus exchange<br />

only a block away, senior<br />

children arrive from all corners<br />

of the city.<br />

ADVERTORIAL<br />

Focus on providing sanctuary for<br />

• By Bea Gooding<br />

ANNA CLARE’S plans to<br />

reclaim independence following<br />

a lifetime of raising her own<br />

children was turned on its head<br />

the moment she realised she had<br />

to do it all over again.<br />

Her two grandchildren living<br />

in an unstable home environment<br />

involving drugs, alcohol<br />

and violence left Clare with no<br />

choice but to provide a permanent<br />

sanctuary for them.<br />

More than a decade later she<br />

channels her own unique experiences<br />

in her role as support<br />

group co-ordinator in Christchurch<br />

for the Grandparents Raising<br />

Grandchildren Trust NZ.<br />

Clare was in her 50s when she<br />

took over guardianship of her<br />

teenage granddaughter.<br />

“I think the hardest part is<br />

when you get a grandchild, it’s<br />

at a time of your life when you’re<br />

becoming free. You’ve got a bit<br />

more disposable income, you’ve<br />

got friends who don’t have<br />

children, so you go out and do<br />

things with them, like dinners or<br />

movies,” she said.<br />

“But suddenly we’re back in<br />

the situation where you’ve got<br />

babysitters, you can’t do things<br />

spontaneously. You spend a lot<br />

of your time trying to organise<br />

therapy, supporting a return to<br />

school, going to court meetings<br />

or researching what help is available.<br />

“Leaving them [at home] is<br />

difficult, for a start, especially<br />

when you’re trying to build<br />

trust.”<br />

About 95 per cent of grandparents<br />

accessing support from<br />

the trust took grandchildren into<br />

their care as a result of trauma,<br />

often encountering issues they<br />

never dealt with before.<br />

Although they had different<br />

stories to tell, common factors<br />

included mental illness and substance<br />

abuse.<br />

“In our case, it was a developing<br />

situation over the years<br />

primarily with drugs, alcohol<br />

and violence in the home,” Clare<br />

said.<br />

The transition of raising her<br />

granddaughter full-time was<br />

made easier by the fact Clare had<br />

regular contact with her prior to<br />

moving in.<br />

Like many families, she was<br />

against the alternative of foster<br />

care at the hands of Oranga<br />

Tamariki.<br />

But it was when she took in<br />

her grandson, years after her<br />

granddaughter, where things<br />

were “a lot harder the second<br />

time around,” especially when he<br />

started becoming violent.<br />

“It changes grandparents’ lives<br />

significantly. You’ve got children<br />

who are traumatised when they<br />

come into your care. It takes a<br />

lot of time, energy and money,”<br />

she said.<br />

“I was in a different headspace<br />

when I took on my grandson, I<br />

was 10 years older, I’d had less<br />

contact with him and he’d had<br />

some real problems. He’s come a<br />

long way since then.”<br />

The GRG trust provides support<br />

services to grandparents<br />

across the country who raise<br />

their grandchildren on a fulltime<br />

basis.<br />

This is carried out in the form<br />

of counselling sessions, support<br />

groups, education, training,<br />

financial and legal support and<br />

referrals to relevant agencies and<br />

organisations.<br />

Membership is diverse both<br />

ethnically and socio-economically,<br />

ranging in age from<br />

early 40s to 90s. Sometimes, this<br />

includes great-grandparents raising<br />

great-grandchildren.<br />

Many grandparents initially<br />

struggled financially when<br />

taking on a grandchild as the<br />

transition process took some<br />

time.<br />

Thursday <strong>February</strong> <strong>18</strong> <strong>2021</strong> 7<br />

grandchildren<br />

Many did not know they were<br />

entitled to financial support<br />

such as the Unsupported Child<br />

Benefit.<br />

Advocating for families and<br />

being able to help change their<br />

lives was rewarding, Clare said,<br />

knowing what it felt like herself.<br />

Over the years, the trust has<br />

seen demand increase.<br />

“I think there’s a lot of pressure<br />

on young families. I think there’s<br />

a lot more pressure on families<br />

than there used to be, there’s a<br />

lot more access to drugs, more<br />

poverty,” said Clare.<br />

“And with that comes a lack of<br />

hope.”<br />

Across the country, the<br />

trust supports more than 5900<br />

grandparents and families,<br />

with about 230 families in<br />

Christchurch alone. They either<br />

come voluntarily or are referred<br />

by another organisation.<br />

The initial stage of talking to<br />

grandparents was always difficult<br />

for Clare, particularly when they<br />

shared feelings of “parental guilt.”<br />

“Not only do you have the<br />

struggle of having to look after<br />

your own grandchild who’s<br />

traumatised, but the fact that it’s<br />

your son or daughter letting the<br />

family down.”<br />

The biggest value in a local<br />

support group is that it is a safe<br />

DEDICATED: Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Trust<br />

NZ east side co-ordinator Sandra Murphy, Anna Clare and<br />

north side co-ordinator Donna Drummond.<br />

place to vent with people who<br />

understood.<br />

“It could be difficulties dealing<br />

with WINZ, Oranga Tamariki,<br />

the court system, or the child<br />

itself.<br />

“Contact with the parents can<br />

also actually be a huge fear for<br />

the grandparents because they<br />

don’t know what the child’s<br />

going back into when they visit.”<br />

Clare has been involved<br />

with the trust ever since her<br />

granddaughter came to live with<br />

her permanently.<br />

A few support group meetings<br />

over the years eventually led<br />

to a decision to establish a<br />

Christchurch group after seeing<br />

how much the trust had an<br />

impact on her own life.<br />

Before she found her calling<br />

in Christchurch, she lived in<br />

Auckland on and off along with<br />

a five-year stint in the United<br />

States.<br />

Family is constantly at the<br />

forefront of her mind, whether<br />

it is at the trust or in her own<br />

time with her two children and<br />

grandchildren.<br />

Aside from her work at the<br />

trust, she was a part-time<br />

support worker for a young<br />

person with autism.<br />

“It’s all about family really,<br />

there’s not much time for<br />

anything else.”<br />

ESTUARY MATTERS<br />

The Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust is<br />

a non-profit organisation formed to protect<br />

one of New Zealand’s most important coastal<br />

wetlands. Each week, board members will<br />

discuss matters regarding the estuary, its rich<br />

history and what makes it unique. This week<br />

Vicky Southworth writes about Estuary Fest<br />

that will be held on <strong>February</strong> 27.<br />

Festival to celebrate<br />

the estuary’s beauty<br />

WHETHER CHOPPY water<br />

and dark brooding sky, or mirror<br />

smooth reflecting the bright<br />

blue of a summer’s morning,<br />

looking across the estuary to the<br />

mountains is a spectacular scene.<br />

I joined the Estuary Trust as<br />

the Environment Canterbury<br />

councillor representative just over<br />

a year ago. I have come to see the<br />

estuary as so much more than a<br />

picture-perfect landscape; it is<br />

home to many species, of which<br />

the birds are the most visible.<br />

Riding my bike along the<br />

Coastal Pathway, I can now name<br />

the birds I see, and know something<br />

about them.<br />

There’s the sharply dressed pied<br />

oystercatchers with red bill and<br />

crisp black and white attire – they<br />

take their time picking through<br />

the exposed shellfish beds at low<br />

tide.<br />

The godwits in brown blend<br />

in but are worth a closer look for<br />

their unfeasibly long beaks. I love<br />

how the cormorants congregate;<br />

wings outstretched soaking up the<br />

sun after diving for fish.<br />

However, my favourite is the<br />

royal spoonbill which, in spite of<br />

its pure white feathers, reminds<br />

me of a bulldozer, head down<br />

trundling through the muddy<br />

shallows to feed.<br />

Go along to the annual Estuary<br />

Fest to celebrate the beauty of<br />

everything estuary; its wildlife, its<br />

beauty and the recreational opportunities<br />

provides.<br />

The free event will be held<br />

on <strong>February</strong> 27, 1-5pm,<br />

McCormacks Bay Reserve (turn<br />

right just before the causeway).<br />

There will be ample and<br />

controlled parking space, live<br />

music, pony rides, food stalls,<br />

children activities, native plants<br />

sale, several stalls providing you<br />

with information on everything<br />

estuary and so much more.<br />

HEALTH & AWARENESS<br />

Joint pain: Do I have arthritis or<br />

could it be mainly my muscles?<br />

The team at Physical Sense in Sydenham<br />

sees clients with a range of symptoms but<br />

many of their middle-aged and senior clients<br />

visit complaining of pain in one of their joints.<br />

Physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk suggests<br />

that a major part of the pain could be due<br />

to muscle pain rather than simply arthritis.<br />

“Even if an x-ray shows arthritis, the reason<br />

for the pain may be the muscles around<br />

the joint,” she explains. The images show<br />

how a muscle knot (the crosses) in a back<br />

muscle can give hip pain (aches and pain<br />

are the red areas in the drawings), a knot<br />

in a muscle on the back of the shoulder<br />

blade can give a deep pain in the front of<br />

the shoulder and a muscle knot all the way<br />

near the groin can give an ache in the knee<br />

(especially at night in bed).<br />

Ietje recalls one case where an 89 year<br />

old client with severe arthritis who walked<br />

with a stick, told her, “I will end up in<br />

a wheelchair, I cannot put any weight<br />

through my right leg due to pain in my hip<br />

and buttock”. “Within 4 treatments, she<br />

was walking with her stick but without the<br />

severe pain,” says Ietje. “The arthritis was<br />

one of the factors that made her muscles<br />

spasm but the other was that older people<br />

move less and the flexed position the hip<br />

is in when we sit is particularly bad for<br />

the hip.” Ietje is happy with the fact that<br />

although the client was 89 and could have<br />

been “given up on” or told to live with the<br />

pain, she made a difference to her health<br />

and wellbeing.<br />

The same lack of movement can be the<br />

reason for your knee pain or your shoulder<br />

pain and the same few treatments could<br />

make a huge difference for you.<br />

At Physical Sense, hands-on techniques<br />

(massage and triggerpoint deactivation<br />

techniques) are used to release the muscles.<br />

The client also gets a home exercise<br />

program designed to mobilize and stretch<br />

the joint, strengthen the important core<br />

muscles and increase general strength and<br />

SHOULDER<br />

PAIN<br />

KNEE PAIN<br />

(the crosses are the areas of the muscle spasms, the red areas is where the pain is felt)<br />

balance. They teach a movement sequence<br />

that stretches the joint in all directions<br />

whilst the client is able to lie safely on their<br />

bed, perfect for older or less mobile clients.<br />

In many cases having the muscles<br />

released and being taught how to maintain<br />

it, is enough to stay on top of the problem.<br />

HIP PAIN<br />

If severe arthritis is the underlying cause,<br />

some maintenance therapy may be<br />

necessary, but that is often more affordable<br />

and, for older patients, better tolerated<br />

than surgery. After only one treatment you<br />

should know that it will work for you. Call<br />

and only pay $50 on that treament.<br />

Physical Sense Gym and Physio is located at 300 Colombo Street, Sydenham. The Blue Line Bus stops in front of the<br />

door and there is ample parking. To enquire about joint pain treatment, phone 377-2577 or visit www.triggerpoints.co.nz<br />
