Calling the tune: Burnside HS<br />
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 />

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 />
