continues to triumph<br />

BURNSIDE HIGH School has<br />

proved to be top of the pops<br />

again in jazz.<br />

The school’s band won the<br />

Essential New Zealand Jazz<br />

Band competition on Saturday<br />

for the second year running<br />

– the top award at the Young<br />

Jazz Band-it school competition<br />

at the New Zealand School of<br />

Music in Wellington.<br />

Said Burnside High head of<br />

music and big band director<br />

Chris Petch: “This is another<br />

fantastic achievement for the<br />

talented musicians in our big<br />

band, especially after their success<br />

last year, and facing such<br />

stiff competition from the best<br />

bands in the country.<br />

“Burnside’s big band has now<br />

won every competitive event<br />

they have entered in the last 13<br />

years.”<br />

The band received $6000 of<br />

musical equipment from Musicworks<br />

NZ, and a recording<br />

and music video.<br />

Student William Kao took<br />

out the $1000 prize for best<br />

piece composed, and was third<br />

in the composition competition<br />

receiving $250.<br />

The Young Jazz Band-it<br />

initiative is a joint venture<br />

between Youthtown and the<br />

Aotearoa Jazz Education<br />

& Performance Charitable<br />

Trading Trust.<br />

More than 700 students<br />

entered the competitions,<br />

either as members of bands<br />

or individuals, with over 200<br />

competing in the finals.<br />

Said competitions director<br />

Rodger Fox: “What a fantastic<br />

day. It was both encouraging<br />

and inspiring hearing these<br />

young musicians perform,<br />

making great music together in<br />

a supportive environment.<br />

“A big shout-out to all the<br />

music teachers, band directors<br />

and family members who<br />

helped make it all possible.<br />

“Huge kudos to Youthtown<br />

for funding the Young Jazz<br />

Band-it competitions via<br />

the Aotearoa Jazz Education<br />

& Performance Charitable<br />

Trading Trust Inc, to<br />

Hospital Harry turns 12<br />

• By Sasha Watson<br />

HARRY IS a favourite among<br />

staff, visitors and patients at<br />

Burwood Hospital.<br />

When he turned 12 recently,<br />

he got what every cat dreams<br />

of: Many cans of tuna – as well<br />

as fan mail from all over the<br />

country, birthday cards, cat toys,<br />

and treats.<br />

Harry has been a popular and<br />

permanent fixture at the hospital<br />

for about nine years.<br />

“We spent the first year with<br />

Harry, who was about three at<br />

the time, trying to get him back<br />

home. He decided he’d like to<br />

live at the hospital and never<br />

left,” said primary carer, clinical<br />

manager of occupational therapy<br />

Cherie Porter.<br />

The fluffy, long-haired moggy<br />

once belonged to a family who<br />

lived nearby, but they officially<br />

gifted Harry to the hospital after<br />

he decided that living there was<br />

more fun than going home.<br />

“Harry is very good at finding<br />

the people who need him most.<br />

He is very tolerant, he often gets<br />

pestered multiple times a day by<br />

patients but he never hisses, or<br />

bites,” said Porter.<br />

“He will sit next to those<br />

feeling anxious before an<br />

appointment – he’s just a lovelynatured<br />

cat who is perfect for a<br />

hospital environment.”<br />

Porter said Harry brings<br />

a sense of homeliness and<br />

reassurance to a traumatic and<br />

daunting situation, and he puts<br />

people at ease.<br />

“Patients often try to find<br />

him during the day to pet, he’s<br />

become a source of motivation as<br />

well,” said Porter.<br />

Occupational therapy assistant<br />

Michael Keown said Harry has<br />

become a therapy cat to many<br />

recovering from mental health<br />

issues and dubbed him “the<br />

coolest cat in town”.<br />

“He offers a sensory experience<br />

to those who have closed<br />

off parts of their emotional<br />

wellness,” Keown said.<br />

Occupational therapist Pip<br />

Dow is another of Harry’s carers.<br />

“A lot of people are surprised<br />

to see a cat in a hospital,” she<br />

said.<br />

“But Harry is well-received, so<br />

well received in fact, he has been<br />

put on a special diet for many<br />

years due to being very good<br />

PURR-THDAY: Burwood<br />

Hospital’s celebrity cat Harry<br />

celebrated reaching the age<br />

of 12 with patients and staff,<br />

and tuna.<br />

(like most cats) at putting on a<br />

hungry face.”<br />

Harry has been featured in<br />

the Canterbury District Health<br />

Board’s staff newsletters and<br />

even has his own Facebook page.<br />

The environmental school<br />

facilitating climate action<br />

Last week, young<br />

climate activists<br />

staged a ‘fly in’ at the<br />

city council building,<br />

demanding the<br />

retraction of support<br />

for the proposed<br />

international airport at<br />

Tarras, Central Otago.<br />

Today we look at an<br />

initiative called the<br />

Climate Action Campus<br />

CLIMATE CHANGE has<br />

become a significant concern<br />

worldwide, especially for young<br />

people.<br />

In Christchurch, students are<br />

able to channel their concerns<br />

into action by running projects<br />

through a collaborative Climate<br />

Action Campus, based at the<br />

former Avonside Girls’ High<br />

School site and nearby red zone.<br />

Ao Tawhiti<br />

Unlimited<br />

Discovery is<br />

the lead school,<br />

with primary<br />

and secondary<br />

students from<br />

more than a<br />

dozen schools<br />

are getting<br />

Niki<br />

Stephenson<br />

involved in projects to help bring<br />

environmental change.<br />

Said Climate Action Campus<br />

Ōtautahi director Niki<br />

Stephenson: “We understand<br />

that students have a lot of<br />

what we call climate angst and<br />

concern about the future, and we<br />

know that action is urgent.<br />

“We created this campus<br />

so that they can begin to take<br />

action. Kids will come with their<br />

passions and interests, and we<br />

will help them develop projects<br />

around them, so this campus<br />

has that ethos but with a lens on<br />

climate action.<br />

“Everyone from students,<br />

teachers, community volunteers,<br />

and city and government<br />

“The joy of working with young people is that their ideas are amazing, and we are only<br />

beginning to scratch the surface of what is possible.” – Niki Stephenson<br />

agencies are engaged, so the<br />

campus benefits from getting<br />

together as a ‘collective brain’ on<br />

the enormous challenges climate<br />

change presents.”<br />

The campus challenges<br />

students to start making climate<br />

action part of their everyday<br />

life, whether on campus or<br />

not. Students are taking on<br />

projects such as planting in the<br />

red zone, growing their own<br />

food, harvesting and cooking<br />

it, checking the water in the<br />

nearby Ōtākaro/Avon River, and<br />

looking at energy sources.<br />

“The joy of working with<br />

young people is that their<br />

ideas are amazing, and we are<br />

only beginning to scratch the<br />

surface of what is possible,” said<br />

Stephenson.<br />

The campus is supported<br />

by Rātā Foundation funding,<br />

helping students source project<br />

resources like greenhouses,<br />

irrigation equipment, beekeeping<br />

equipment, plants, and solar<br />

energy, which was installed<br />

in July. The panels help power<br />

the school and the Te Aratai<br />

Technology Centre, which shares<br />

the site.<br />

Said Stephenson: “Climate<br />

change is going to present many<br />

challenges, key amongst them<br />

is clean drinking water, food<br />

security, and energy security – so<br />

we are keen for students to tackle<br />

those with our support.<br />

“We’re hoping to be a very<br />

practical national and global<br />

example of how educators<br />

collaborating can support<br />

students to take action for their<br />

futures.<br />

“And we keep finding all sorts<br />

of groups and individuals who<br />

HANDS ON: The campus at the former Avonside Girls’ High School site delivers sessions<br />

for pupils at partnered schools, challenging them to make climate actions part of their<br />

everyday life.<br />

want to be involved, which is<br />

fantastic.<br />

“The big idea is that we would<br />

like to become a community<br />

energy hub so that when<br />

communities lose energy, there<br />

are places they can go to ensure<br />

they can charge their phones and<br />

cook a meal.<br />

“Ultimately the even bigger<br />

concept is a solar farm. We<br />

need something like 70 per cent<br />

more renewable energy in New<br />

Zealand over the next 20 years.<br />

That’s enormous, and schools are<br />

great places for it.”<br />

Rātā Foundation chief<br />

executive Leighton Evans said<br />

the programme’s strength is<br />

educating young people about<br />

climate change and its impact<br />

while empowering them to<br />

implement change.<br />

“Educating young people<br />

about the importance of<br />

sustainability, with hands-on,<br />

practical examples, gives them<br />

the confidence and agency to do<br />

their bit to combat the climate<br />

crisis,” said Evans.<br />

“Undoubtedly, the campus is<br />

a unique initiative with hopes<br />

it will inspire others. We are<br />

looking forward to seeing the<br />

project ideas it generates and the<br />

results.”<br />

In term four, a natives play<br />

forest project will start at the<br />

campus. A collaboration with<br />

Citycare and Sport Canterbury,<br />

the project aims to engage<br />

students in designing a natives<br />

play forest that will be accessible<br />

to everyone. Students will go to<br />

campus every week and work<br />

with experts on alternate weeks,<br />

to learn about propagation and<br />

be responsible for growing some<br />

of the plants from seed, planting<br />

saplings and being guardians.<br />

Climate Action Campus also<br />

runs events for adults, which<br />

can be found on their Facebook<br />

page. For all queries, message<br />

Aikawa’s creative side was<br />

first nurtured at Mt Pleasant<br />

School.<br />

A teacher spoke about Aikawa<br />

painting art on a graffitiprone<br />

fence.<br />

“At the time I was fascinated<br />

by the dual purpose of art,<br />

looking beautiful and stopping<br />

a problem,” she said.<br />

“Ten years later, when the<br />

same fence was getting tagged<br />

again, I approached the homeowners<br />

and volunteered to<br />

paint (Oli’s) mural on the site.”<br />

Aikawa has also brought art<br />

to the community with murals<br />

at Christ’s College, a Redcliffs<br />

electric box and his university<br />

halls of residence dining room<br />

in Wellington.<br />

There is also a project in the<br />

works for the Sumner Community<br />

Hub.<br />

“Hopefully it will be this<br />

summer. It will be art where<br />

families paint by numbers<br />

to beautify the wall and also<br />

a chance to bring everyone<br />

together,” he said.<br />

Aikawa’s focus is now on the<br />

exhibition at Christ’s College.<br />

“I wanted to highlight boys’<br />

art, to promote the creative side<br />

for boys,” he said.<br />

“My school has been very<br />

supportive, and art has been<br />

a real positive in my life. I<br />

really want to bring art to the<br />

forefront for young people.”<br />

20 minute homemade tortillas<br />

Easy soft flour tortillas<br />

Makes 8 large<br />

3 cups standard flour<br />

1 tsp salt<br />

1 tsp baking powder<br />

4 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil<br />

1 cup warm water<br />

Method<br />

• Combine flour, salt and baking<br />

powder in a medium-size bowl<br />

and whisk the ingredients<br />

together.<br />

• Make a well in the centre of<br />

the dry ingredients and add the<br />

oil and water. Using a butter<br />

knife, gently stir from the centre,<br />

until the dry ingredients have<br />

incorporated and the dough<br />

comes together in a shaggy ball.<br />

• Turn the dough out on to<br />

a lightly floured surface and<br />

knead for 1-2 minutes until<br />

smooth.<br />

• Divide into 8 equal portions,<br />

turning each piece to coat in<br />

flour. Form into balls and flatten<br />

with the palm of your hand.<br />

• Cover with a clean tea towel<br />

and rest for a minimum of<br />

15 minutes or up to 2 hours<br />

(resting prevents shrinkage and<br />

allows you to roll your dough<br />

out thinly).<br />

• Heat a 20cm non-stick frypan<br />

over a medium heat.<br />

• Roll each ball into a rough<br />

circle, about 18-20cm in<br />

diameter, lightly flouring to<br />

prevent sticking.<br />

• Place one circle into the hot<br />

pan and cook until the top starts<br />

to form bubbles or pockets of<br />

air – about 45 seconds – and<br />

the underside is forming brown<br />

spots.<br />

• Flip over and cook for another<br />

15-20 seconds (brown spots<br />

should appear) before removing<br />

with tongs.<br />

• Keep warm on a plate covered<br />

with a clean towel and separated<br />

by baking paper.<br />

Keeps for up to a week in a<br />

ziplock bag or an airtight<br />

container in the fridge. Reheat<br />

covered in the microwave for 10-<br />

15 seconds.<br />

120g bag of rocket, spinach<br />

leaves or watercress<br />

Method<br />

• Place all the ingredients for the<br />

dressing in a nutribullet or small<br />

food processor and whizz until<br />

smooth.<br />

• Adjust the seasoning with salt<br />

and pepper to taste.<br />

• Store in fridge until ready to<br />

serve.<br />

• Preheat oven to 180°C.<br />

• In a large bowl whisk together<br />

the olive oil, ground cumin,<br />

cumin seeds and maple syrup.<br />

Add the capsicum, red onion,<br />

kumara or pumpkin and<br />

baby carrots and toss so they are<br />

well coated.<br />

• Place in a single layer on two<br />

lined baking trays, season with<br />

the flaky sea salt and freshly<br />

ground pepper.<br />

• Roast for 25 minutes until<br />

golden brown, then add the<br />

drained chickpeas (tossing a<br />

little with the roast vegetables<br />

and pan juices) and roast for a<br />

further 5 minutes until golden.<br />

• Place a generous spoonful of<br />

the dressing on a tortilla, spread<br />

the spinach, watercress or<br />

rocket on top followed by<br />

the roast vegetables and<br />

chickpeas and another dollop of<br />

the dressing.<br />

ZR-V Hybrid ‘knocks it out of the park’<br />

THE RUNAWAY success of<br />

Honda’s latest SUV the ZR-V, has<br />

seen the hybrid version playing<br />

‘hard to get’ with a 1-2 month<br />

wait, for those who are fussy<br />

about the colour they want.<br />

This is an important model<br />

for Honda who have waited<br />

a long time to get a modern,<br />

well-packaged and good looking<br />

model to help them make some<br />

genuine sales head-way in the<br />

compact hybrid urban SUV class.<br />

While Honda have offered<br />

hybrid technology across a raft of<br />

models for the Japanese domestic<br />

market, up until now they have<br />

been largely off limits in New<br />

Zealand, except as used imports.<br />

Honda’s ZR-V delivers a step<br />

change in hybrid electrification<br />

technology for the company.<br />

The beating heart of this is a<br />

new 2.0L e:HEV direct injection<br />

petrol engine. The hybrid power<br />

train is exclusive to the flagship<br />

Motoring with Bob Nettleton<br />

$55,000 ZR-V Sport. Changes<br />

to the government clean car fee<br />

scheme mean that from July 1<br />

many hybrid models, including<br />

the ZR-V, no longer qualify for<br />

a rebate, with more stringent<br />

emission thresholds in place.<br />

Unless a vehicle power train<br />

produces 100g/km or less, it<br />

comes up empty handed in the<br />

race for a clean car rebate, with<br />

ZRV’s 126g/km failing to make<br />

the cut.<br />

The hybrid system comprises<br />

two compact electric motors<br />

connected to a 1.5-litre turbo<br />

petrol engine, and a lithium-ion<br />

battery for a combined power<br />

output of 135kW and 315Nm of<br />

torque at just 2000rpm. The ZR-V<br />

1.5 turbo we test-drove a month<br />

back needs more than double<br />

that serving of revs to produce<br />

its maximum torque of 240Nm.<br />

The hybrid system conjures up<br />

a deft balance between power<br />

and torque to front-foot our<br />

undulating roads. Around town<br />

it knocks it out of the park with a<br />

great blend of performance and<br />

fuel economy. A much-improved<br />

Constant Variable Transmission<br />

(CVT) is shared with the Honda<br />

Civic and features Normal<br />

and Eco driving modes and a<br />

user-selectable sport mode. It’s<br />

a transmission that’s a good fit<br />

with the hybrid power train. In<br />

fact it’s so good, you would be<br />

hard pressed to tell this is a CVT.<br />

I was in awe of the vast cabin<br />

area for a vehicle with relatively<br />

compact external dimensions.<br />

By any measure, this would have<br />

to be one of the roomiest urban<br />

SUVs in its class. A generous<br />

rear cargo hatch means you<br />

can take all your baggage along<br />

for the ride as well. You don’t<br />

need an eye for detail to see<br />

quality was a priority in the<br />

cabin design. Much of this is<br />

down to Honda upping the use<br />

of quality materials throughout<br />

the passenger compartment,<br />

especially on touch points.<br />

ZR-V Sport is the first model<br />

fitted with Honda Connect<br />

emergency services technology.<br />

This alerts these<br />

services if it detects the<br />

vehicle’s airbags have<br />

gone off. A 7-inch color<br />

LCD driver’s display<br />

offers a range of useful<br />

driver information.<br />

Some of the things<br />

we are talking about<br />

here are the status of<br />

various Honda sensing<br />

safety and driver-assist systems,<br />

including brake lights, headlights<br />

and turn signals. In addition to<br />

large, easy-to-recognize icons<br />

and a simplified navigation<br />

structure with fewer embedded<br />

menus, the touchscreen has a<br />

proper volume knob and hard<br />

buttons for Home and Back<br />

functions. This discovery of a bit<br />

of ‘old school’ tech really made<br />

my day!<br />

Well-sorted and designed<br />

suspension and steering are the<br />

pillars of what is an agile and<br />

nicely balanced urban SUV. It<br />

works hard in the background<br />

to make it easier for the driver to<br />

take command on our roads, and<br />

often-tricky and fickle weather<br />

and driving conditions. The<br />

suspension responds decisively<br />

and assuredly in steadying the<br />

car when it’s under siege from<br />

sudden and unexpected changes<br />

in the road surface. When<br />

driving in town the ride may<br />

be a bit firm for an urban SUV<br />

especially over high frequency<br />

bumps. It’s nothing recalibrating<br />

a more softly-softly approach into<br />

the suspension settings wouldn’t<br />

resolve.<br />

Mission Without Borders<br />

visit the Sechka’s house<br />

with support to lift them<br />

out of poverty.<br />

Families in Ukraine<br />

need your help!<br />

The Sechka family live in a rural area<br />

of Sarny region, western Ukraine, in<br />

an old dilapidated house. Mykhailo,<br />

40, and his wife Nadiya, 31, work hard to<br />

provide for their family. They face a massive<br />

challenge as three of their five children have<br />

severe disabilities. One of their daughters<br />

is unable to walk at all. The health of<br />

their children means they need medical<br />

examinations, check-ups, and treatment.<br />

Which costs money.<br />

Mykhailo used to work in forestry, but<br />

when the war began, he lost most of his<br />

wages then he had to quit. Since then, he<br />

has focused on farming and keeps cows,<br />

pigs, geese, and poultry to survive.<br />

Son Mieko loves his parents and sees they<br />

are hardworking. Mykhailo must cultivate<br />

a lot of land to grow forage for the animals,<br />

and vegetables and grain for the family. He<br />

was using an old tractor that he bought 15<br />

years ago. The tractor is 50 years old and<br />

required constant repair. Mykhailo says that<br />

after each working day he had to repair it<br />

and it wasn’t worth the money. Since then,<br />

the old tractor became a place where Mieko<br />

and his siblings play.<br />

Despite Mykhailo and Nadiya’s efforts,<br />

the family’s situation became very difficult.<br />

The loss of income, health issues and the<br />

ongoing war has taken its toll.<br />

Mieko’s family need help with resources,<br />

such as tools and machinery, so they can<br />

grow food for themselves.<br />

Right now, the Ukrainian economy<br />

is shrinking, and inflation is rising. So,<br />

supporting families just like Mieko’s with a<br />

self-sufficiency project will be a lifeline.<br />

Mieko’s anxiety and uncertainty and have<br />

resulted in physical and psychological<br />

issues. There is no doubt that the impact<br />

of war will be felt by his family and many<br />

others for years to come.<br />

Support MiSSion Without BorderS<br />

At Mission Without Borders, we regularly reach<br />

out to Kiwis who respond by giving, praying,<br />

and offering their unwavering support.<br />

If you would like to help, here are<br />

some ways we can make a difference<br />

together:<br />

1. A gift of $30 will supply an emergency<br />

food and hygiene parcel to help<br />

displaced and vulnerable people in the<br />

Ukraine.<br />

2. Sponsor a family: we have families<br />

in Ukraine waiting right now for<br />

sponsorship. You can enable and<br />

encourage a whole family to lift<br />

themselves out of poverty and become<br />

self-sufficient for $45 a month.<br />

3. Consider donating towards a selfsufficiency<br />

project for a family like<br />

Mieko’s. This will give them the<br />

opportunity to not only survive but<br />

thrive ‒ $25 will provide a packet of<br />

seeds to grow life-sustaining fruits<br />

and vegetables.<br />

If you’d like to help in any way, please either<br />
