Flora and fauna flourishing in new wetland<br />

upset over<br />
removal<br />

• By Samantha Mythen<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 />
An independent school<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 />
