Addington Te Kura Taumatua principal Donna Bilas (pictured) said the bell has played a significant role in the school’s traditions since it was founded in 1881. It was discovered missing on Monday. Said Bilas: “The kids all enjoy having their opportunity to ring it to start the day, but it is also a huge part of celebrations and commemorations that we hold here at school.” The school is appealing to the local community in the hope of retrieving the bell. “If anyone has seen it, seen someone with it, we just want it back. “It’s our heart, it’s our history. We won’t ask any questions. “If you find it, please, please bring it back.” The bell is “about the size of a basketball and very heavy”, with Bilas saying that she thought it was made of brass. The school believed the bell was taken to sell for metal. “Other schools locally have had brass and copper taken before. “To actually take the time to come in in the weekend and take this off our tamariki is hugely upsetting.” Bilas told chrislynchmedia. com: “When we went to ring the bell every morning like we do, it just wasn’t there. It had been ground off with a power tool. It’s like a part of us is missing. “The bell is a feature of many school traditions,” Bilas said. “At the end of each year, we gather for every child or staff member who is leaving to ring the bell – rain or shine. “The kids then shake hands with all staff and our haka is performed.

Frosty warming hearts at hospital<br />
THERAPY: Frosty works her<br />
magic with a patient and<br />
registered nurse Michael<br />
Reamico.<br />
THE ATMOSPHERE inside<br />
Christchurch Hospital always<br />
warms up when Frosty arrives.<br />
Frosty, a two-and-a-half-yearold<br />
labrador retriever, is part of<br />
Canine Friends Pet Therapy.<br />
She does her rounds<br />
through wards 16 and 17 every<br />
Wednesday.<br />
Frosty’s journey to her current<br />
role is as heartwarming as her<br />
presence.<br />
Her story began with Nette,<br />
a long-time volunteer, who<br />
initially fostered Frosty.<br />
Although she did not pass the<br />
rigorous service dog training,<br />
Frosty’s charm and warmth<br />
led to her becoming a beloved<br />
part of Nette’s family, alongside<br />
partner Greg and their cat Cola.<br />
After excelling in canine pet<br />
therapy training, Frosty now<br />
visits the hospital regularly,<br />
wearing the red bandanna that<br />
signifies her special role.<br />
Her visits have quickly become<br />
a highlight for patients and staff,<br />
offering a welcome respite from<br />
the clinical atmosphere.<br />
The benefits of Frosty’s<br />
therapy are significant. Studies<br />
show interactions with therapy<br />
dogs can reduce anxiety, lower<br />
blood pressure, and alleviate<br />
feelings of loneliness and<br />
depression.<br />
Frosty’s gentle, affectionate<br />
nature provides patients with<br />
emotional comfort and a sense<br />
of companionship, contributing<br />
positively to their overall wellbeing<br />
and recovery.<br />
The sight of Frosty trotting<br />
through the wards brings smiles<br />
and joy, easing the stress and<br />
loneliness often felt in a hospital<br />
setting, said volunteers manager<br />
Louise Hoban-Watson.<br />
“The success of this<br />
programme, thanks to Nette’s<br />
dedication and Frosty’s natural<br />
ability to comfort, has led<br />
to hopes of expanding the<br />
initiative.<br />
“For now, Frosty’s weekly<br />
visits continue to bring warmth<br />
and healing, underscoring the<br />
powerful impact of pet therapy<br />
in enhancing patients’ lives.”<br />
WELCOME: Frosty, accompanied by owner Nette, is a regular<br />
visitor to Christchurch Hospital.<br />

More than $78,000 has been<br />
raised towards the $105,000 goal<br />
since the challenge got under way.<br />
As of yesterday, the Halswell<br />

Intensive care paramedic Adrian<br />
Hurst is taking part by swimming.<br />
He said doing the challenge was<br />
a fantastic way for himself and<br />
other paramedics to maintain their<br />
health and mental well-being.<br />
“Every day we need to be fit<br />
enough to swim in rough seas if<br />
we’re involved in a sea rescue, or<br />
climb up hills and through bush to<br />
find a patient who’s been injured<br />
out tramping. Even being winched<br />
from the helicopter means we need<br />
to be really fit. It’s an intense kind<br />
of job.”<br />
Anabel Darby is running 5km a<br />
day around Hagley Park as part of<br />
the 155km challenge.<br />
“It’s really motivating. It’s<br />
beautiful to get out every morning<br />
and feel that you’re doing<br />
something for yourself and for this<br />
as well,” she said.<br />

Coastguard seeking replacement<br />
as long-serving tractor nears end<br />
• By Dylan Smits<br />
COASTGUARD Canterbury’s<br />
beloved ‘Big Blue Tractor’ is<br />
on its last set of wheels after<br />
more than a decade of towing<br />
rescue boats out to sea.<br />
Members are now seeking<br />
a replacement for the vehicle<br />
affectionately known as BBT<br />
and hope someone in the<br />
community will donate a<br />
tractor.<br />
“If we got a replacement<br />
tractor that would be great<br />
and what would be even<br />
better is if someone gifted one<br />
to us,” said board member<br />
Carolyn Tapley.<br />
BBT has towed the<br />
Lyttelton-based coastguard’s<br />
Canterbury Rescue vessel into<br />
the harbour for hundreds<br />
of callouts and training<br />
exercises, but its brakes and<br />
engine have become faulty.<br />
“The poor girl, she sat<br />
outside for the last 15 years<br />
in the elements exposed to<br />
coastal conditions.”<br />
These issues have led to<br />
costly repair jobs and a<br />
new reliance on coastguard<br />
member’s personal towing<br />
vehicles to give the worn out<br />
BBT breaks.<br />
Coastguard members are<br />
feeling sentimental about<br />
the tractor’s decline and are<br />
BLUE BEAUTY: Coastguard Canterbury is bidding a fond farewell to its ‘Big Blue<br />
Tractor’ as it sees its last days of towing rescue boats. Board member Carolyn Tapley<br />
is appealing for the community to donate a tractor which can replace the BBT’s<br />
towing capabilities.<br />
paying tribute to its assistance<br />
in critical call outs.<br />
“She’s not a boat, but she<br />
has played a role in saving<br />
lives,” said Tapley.<br />
A suitable replacement<br />
tractor could cost Coastguard<br />
Canterbury about $60,000<br />
which is unaffordable for<br />
the organisation due to the<br />
$2.6 million headquarters<br />
currently under construction.<br />
“We’re putting all of our<br />
money into the new build<br />
so we haven’t actually got<br />
the money to pay for a new<br />
tractor.”<br />
• Anyone who can help<br />
the coastguard find a<br />
new tractor can contact<br />
Tapley on 027 473 3157.<br />

Studio breathing new life into Linwood<br />
• By Geoff Sloan<br />
A RUNDOWN building on<br />
Stanmore Rd which often<br />
attracted beggars and rough<br />
sleepers is now a thriving hub of<br />
dance activity.<br />
The Euphoria Dance Studio<br />
moved into the old Video Ezy<br />
store in Linwood Village in<br />
January, with the goal of helping<br />
re-energise the neglected suburb<br />
through dance classes and shows.<br />
Founder<br />
Jobelle Nunez<br />
hopes it will<br />
inspire people<br />
when they walk<br />
by to come<br />
inside and say<br />
hello.<br />
“Sometimes<br />
people would<br />
knock and<br />
Jobelle<br />
Nunez<br />
just say: ‘Oh, your place looks<br />
amazing’. So I think, you know,<br />
if it brightens their day, I think<br />
we’re doing a pretty good job.”<br />
She said dancing is therapeutic.<br />
“I teach ballet, jazz, tap,<br />
contemporary and hip-hop.<br />
But mostly what I teach here at<br />
Euphoria is hip-hop.”<br />
Linwood Village has just<br />
received a major makeover by the<br />
city council.<br />
The master plan aims to<br />
make the impoverished suburb<br />
more “people friendly” with<br />
wider footpaths, more trees and<br />
improved lighting.<br />
Nunez is proud to be among<br />
the businesses and residents<br />
breathing life back into the area.<br />
She started dancing in the<br />
Philippines when she was six and<br />
continued after moving to New<br />
Zealand in 2018 with her family.<br />
Nunez founded Euphoria<br />
Dance Studio in her garage three<br />
years ago, with five students.<br />
But strong interest saw the<br />
studio grow to more than 130<br />
students, requiring a much bigger<br />
space.<br />
“Sometimes I give out free<br />
classes every year just to give<br />
back to the community.<br />
“Because again, it’s not about<br />
the money at the end of the day,<br />
it’s just about, you know, giving<br />
love to anyone who needs it.”<br />
The experienced dancer has<br />
ambitions to one day open more<br />
branches around the city.<br />
She is also seeking sponsorship<br />
so she can offer more free or<br />
subsidised dance classes to the<br />
community, allowing her to pass<br />
on her knowledge to the next<br />
generation of hip-hoppers.<br />
TRANSFORMED: The old Video Ezy building on Stanmore Rd has been transformed into a<br />
thriving dance studio.<br />

LAYBY WELCOME<br />
• By Dylan Smits<br />
VOLUNTEER coastguard<br />
Andrew Southen has smashed<br />
his goal for The Big Swim by<br />
doubling his swimming and<br />
fundraising targets.<br />
The 64-year-old was raising<br />
money for Coastguard New<br />
Zealand as part of the July<br />
fundraiser, where participants<br />
were sponsored for swimming a<br />
distance of their choice.<br />
Southen raised $1505 from<br />
sponsors and swam 100km,<br />
averaging about 3.2km a day.<br />
His original goal was to raise<br />
$750 and swim 50km.<br />
“I’m happy with it. I thought<br />
realistically 60km would be a<br />
good total,” he said.<br />
After joining the Lytteltonbased<br />
Coastguard Canterbury,<br />
he was inspired to make a<br />
difference for the organisation.<br />
Although Southen is a strong<br />
swimmer and improved his<br />
fitness throughout the month,<br />
the challenge didn’t get easier.<br />
“You get pretty sore, because<br />
there’s no rest.<br />
“It was hard work and I’m not<br />
a young person anymore.”<br />
But raising as much as<br />
possible for other volunteers<br />
was a strong incentive to keep<br />
going after he met his 50km<br />
target in mid-July.<br />
“Hats off to the coastguard<br />
for running such a professional<br />
event,” he said.<br />
Southen is not taking much<br />
time to rest as he competes<br />
this weekend in the South<br />
Island masters short course<br />
championships at Jellie Park.<br />
“There’s still a bit to prepare<br />
for, but it won’t be quite as much<br />
as the big swim.”<br />

WHOLESOME: This green leek and potato soup uses the green leek leaves<br />
as well as the white part of the leek to give you more bang for your buck.<br />
Tips to save money on<br />
warming winter food<br />
Good hot food is essential to<br />
surviving winter. The folks at<br />
Love Food Hate Waste have<br />
some tips on how to do it<br />
economically<br />
Eat seasonally<br />
Eating seasonally is an easy way to cut down<br />
on grocery bills. Opt for vegetables like<br />
cabbage, celery, leeks, carrots and silverbeet,<br />
which should be cheaper this time of year.<br />
Frozen vegetables are also a great option as<br />
they are cheap, nutritious, pre-prepared and<br />
won’t go bad.<br />
Store seasonal produce correctly<br />
Winter produce such as pumpkin, root<br />
vegetables and citrus fruits have longer shelf<br />
lives when stored properly. Keep whole<br />
pumpkin in a cool room with the stalk<br />
side down, then wrap and refrigerate once<br />
cut or cut into cubes and freeze. Citrus<br />
fruits, carrots and leafy greens last longer<br />
in the crisper drawer in the fridge. A cool<br />
dark place is the best place for onions and<br />
potatoes, just remember to keep them away<br />
from each other.<br />
Freeze winter harvests<br />
Blanch and freeze vegetables such as kale,<br />
cauliflower, spinach and Brussels sprouts<br />
to use in soups, stir-fries and warm salads<br />
throughout the year. Squeeze citrus juices<br />
into ice cube trays and transfer into a<br />
resealable freezer bag once frozen. You can<br />
then enjoy lemon juice in your salads or<br />
orange juice in drinks when citrus can be<br />
more expensive.<br />
Serve soup<br />
Soups are a wonderful way to make a small<br />
amount of food go a long way. Not only are<br />
they simple to make, but they are also very<br />
comforting. You can add all sorts of leftover<br />
meat, vegetables, pasta and grains, making<br />
them a perfect vehicle for making the most<br />
of your food.<br />
Additionally, soups can be made in large<br />
batches, providing multiple servings to<br />
enjoy throughout the week.<br />
Use a slow cooker<br />
Slow cookers are a game-changer for winter<br />
cooking. They use low, consistent heat<br />
over an extended period, making them<br />
incredibly energy efficient. Here are some<br />
specific ways a slow cooker can help you<br />
save money without compromising on taste:<br />
• Using cheaper cuts of meat: Slow<br />
cookers are perfect for tenderising tougher,<br />
less expensive cuts of meat. The low<br />
and slow cooking process breaks down<br />
connective tissues, resulting in tender,<br />
flavourful dishes without the high price tag<br />
of prime cuts.<br />
• Cook once, eat twice: Bulk cooking is a<br />
fantastic way to save both time and money<br />
and slow cookers are ideal for making<br />
large batches of food, allowing you to cook<br />
once and enjoy meals for several days.<br />
This not only saves time but also reduces<br />
the frequency of cooking, leading to lower<br />
energy consumption. Freeze portions in<br />
airtight containers, ensuring you always<br />
have a home-cooked meal ready to go.<br />
• Recipe versatility: The versatility of<br />
a slow cooker means you can make use<br />
of odds and ends of vegetables and other<br />
ingredients that might otherwise go to<br />
waste. You can experiment with a wide<br />
range of recipes, from hearty beef stews to<br />
vegetarian chili, creamy oatmeal, or even<br />
desserts such as apple crumble.<br />
This adaptability keeps your meals<br />
interesting and varied while making the<br />
most of your food and the budget.<br />
Green leek and potato soup<br />
Ingredients<br />
50g butter<br />
3 large potatoes<br />
1 large leek<br />
Salt, to taste<br />
Pepper, to taste<br />
4 cups vegetable stock<br />
1 cup milk<br />
200g bacon (optional)<br />
Method<br />
1. Melt butter in a large saucepan over a<br />
medium heat.<br />
2. Wash potatoes, leaving skin on, and cut<br />
into 1cm cubes. Add to the pan.<br />
3. Cut white part of leek into small rounds<br />
and add to pan. Remove green leaves,<br />
separate and wash thoroughly in water<br />
to remove any dirt residue. Cut into thin<br />
ribbons and add to pan, along with whites.<br />
4. Stir well so all vegetables are evenly coated<br />
in butter. Add salt and pepper. Turn down<br />
heat to low, cover with a lid and allow to<br />
gently heat for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally<br />
so the vegetables do not brown.<br />
5. Add vegetable stock to the pan, stir, then<br />
simmer for 30 minutes.<br />
6. Use a potato masher to roughly break up<br />
the potato to thicken the soup.<br />
7. Add milk and bring to a simmer.<br />
8. If you are using bacon, heat a frying pan<br />
on a medium heat. Thinly slice the bacon<br />
and add to the frying pan. Fry until crispy<br />
or cooked to your liking.<br />
9. Ladle soup into bowls and sprinkle with<br />
the bacon.<br />
