Pet therapy programme<br />
A PET THERAPY programme<br />
is bringing smiles and sparking<br />
conversation at care homes.<br />
Run by Dogwatch Sanctuary<br />
Trust, the programme brings<br />
ex-Dogwatch dog River to the<br />
homes, providing residents with<br />
companionship.<br />
The programme has been<br />
running at Essie Summers and<br />
Cashmere View Retirement<br />
Village since August, receiving<br />
positive feedback.<br />
Many residents have been<br />
reminiscing about their own<br />
pets and enjoying the emotional<br />
connection.<br />
“I just love seeing River; she<br />
reminds me of my dogs, and<br />
it brings back so many happy<br />
memories,” said Eleanor, a<br />
resident at Essie Summers.<br />
A lifelong dog lover, Eleanor<br />
has missed the companionship<br />
of dogs while living in a<br />
retirement home. River’s visits<br />
have helped fill that void.<br />
River, a huntaway-border<br />
collie cross, was adopted from<br />
Dogwatch in 2022 and has<br />
quickly become a favourite at<br />
the care homes.<br />
But River’s journey to<br />
Dogwatch wasn’t an easy one.<br />
She was found wandering the<br />
streets of Bromley, severely<br />
underweight, by the city council<br />
animal management team.<br />
After remaining unclaimed<br />
at the council pound, she was<br />
transferred to Dogwatch, which<br />
rehomes dogs left at pounds or<br />
brings paw-sitivy<br />
GOOD COMPANY: Essie Summers resident Eleanor has<br />
been enjoying visits from ex-Dogwatch dog River as part<br />
of a pet therapy programme.<br />
from private residences. River<br />
initially struggled with the<br />
shelter, barking frequently out<br />
of distress.<br />
But when she met her new<br />
family, her true personality<br />
shone through.<br />
“River came straight up to us<br />
when we met her at Dogwatch,<br />
wanting love and pats,” said<br />
Amelia, her adopter.<br />
“She has been the best dog<br />
and slotted into our lives effortlessly.”<br />
The pet therapy programme<br />
is part of Dogwatch’s<br />
commitment to give back to<br />
the community.<br />

Celebration<br />
to mark<br />
community<br />
centre’s role<br />
as hub for<br />
education<br />
ONE OF the oldest community<br />
centres in the country is<br />
celebrating a big milestone today.<br />
Risingholme Community Centre<br />
(now Risingholme Learning)<br />
is marking its 80th anniversary<br />
just in time for the Christchurch<br />
Heritage Festival with a special<br />
function and panel unveiling to<br />
showcase its rich history as a place<br />
of learning in the city.<br />
Director Lynda Megson said<br />
the event caps off<br />
a year of festivities<br />
for the organisation<br />
and includes<br />
events like ‘Have<br />
a Go Day’ which<br />
offered free course<br />
taster sessions to<br />
the public, and an<br />
art exhibition featuring<br />
works from<br />
Lynda<br />
Megson<br />
more than 50 tutors and learners<br />
at Risingholme.<br />
“Community is at the heart<br />
of who we are and what we do.<br />
When planning our big 80th we<br />
wanted to create collaborative<br />
events that showcase the wonderful<br />
work of the people who have<br />
helped Risingholme grow and<br />
thrive as an organisation.”<br />
Established in 1944, many of<br />
Risingholme’s early activities<br />
centred around informal clubs<br />
such as tramping and a Young<br />
People’s Club.<br />

REVISED safety<br />
improvements being<br />
proposed for Bromley streets<br />
are open for feedback until<br />
the end of the month.<br />
Upgrades for Bromley<br />
had been part of the city<br />
council’s Way Safer Streets<br />
project, with some of the<br />
work due to be funded by<br />
central Government via<br />
the Transport Choices<br />
programme.<br />
This funding is no longer<br />
available<br />
due to the<br />
Government’s<br />
changing<br />
priorities.<br />
“Making<br />
Bromley’s<br />
streets<br />
safer is still<br />
important to<br />
us and the<br />
Jacob<br />
Bradbury<br />
community and there is some<br />
council funding set aside<br />
through the Long Term Plan<br />
to make improvements,” said<br />
Jacob Bradbury, city council<br />
transport planning and<br />
delivery manager.<br />
“We’ve reflected on feedback<br />
received last year about<br />
proposed improvements<br />
and worked with the Waitai<br />
Coastal-Burwood-Linwood<br />
UPDATE: A new plan for<br />
safety improvements<br />
across Bromley has been<br />
developed after funding for<br />
planned upgrades was cut.<br />
Community Board to see how<br />
we can utilise the funds we<br />
do have to help create safer<br />
and more accessible streets in<br />
the Bromley area.”<br />
The updated safety<br />
proposal includes making<br />
improvements to Keighleys<br />
and Bromley Rds.<br />
“As well as these revised<br />
proposals, we are still<br />
considering additional things<br />
that we could do to improve<br />
safety in Bromley and will<br />
consult on these at a later<br />
stage,” Bradbury said.<br />
On Keighleys Rd, the city council is considering:<br />
• Installing nine speed humps, between Keighleys/<br />
McGregors Rd intersection to 65 Keighleys Rd<br />
• Making an uncontrolled crossing point at Bromley<br />
School more accessible by cutting down the kerb<br />
and adding in tactile pavers in the existing kerb<br />
buildouts<br />
On Bromley Rd, the city council is considering:<br />
• Installing a speed hump at the Keighleys Rd<br />
entrance<br />
• Installing a pedestrian refuge island with updated<br />
crossing points, to make it easier for people to cross<br />
to the Bromley Community Centre, playground, and<br />
nearby bus stops<br />
• Installing two speed humps on the approaches to<br />
the pedestrian refuge island, requiring the bus stop<br />
on the community centre side to be moved further<br />
east<br />
• Removing about 15 on-street carparks on Bromley<br />
Rd to make room for the new pedestrian refuge<br />
island and to relocate the bus stop<br />

Community spirit key to Risingholme<br />
• From page 1<br />
New courses like sewing,<br />
woodwork, and pottery soon<br />
developed and remain a popular<br />
part of the programme today.<br />
Megson said Risingholme’s<br />
longevity is a result of it<br />
continuing to respond to<br />
community needs.<br />
“We’re always developing<br />
new courses and partnering<br />
with organisations to deliver a<br />
programme that’s relevant and<br />
enjoyable. The content and scale<br />
of our courses has certainly<br />
changed over 80 years but the<br />
mission to promote community<br />
spirit remains the same.”<br />
This community spirit and legacy<br />
of learning has been captured<br />
in museum style panels which<br />
will be formally unveiled today in<br />
front of tutors, former staff, and<br />
community partners.<br />
Covering from 1864 to the<br />
present day, the panels explore<br />
Risingholme’s history from its<br />
time as a private residence to<br />
its transition into a community<br />
centre and a place of continuing<br />
education. They are on permanent<br />
display and can be viewed during<br />
office open hours.<br />
Risingholme Community<br />
Centre executive committee<br />
president Damian Sims will lead<br />
the formalities. He hopes the<br />
panels will become a “touchpoint<br />
for people wanting to learn<br />
more about Risingholmeand the<br />
community of people behind it”.<br />
RICH HISTORY: Risingholme<br />
Learning (formerly<br />
Risingholme Community<br />
Centre) is marking its 80th<br />
anniversary with events to<br />
celebrate its role as a place<br />

Savour the fresh green flavours of spring<br />
Nigel Slater serves up a<br />
vibrant soup-stew with<br />
croutes and a dish of<br />
cheesy asparagus<br />
to put some tastes<br />
of spring on your plate<br />
Green vegetable stew,<br />
basil pesto toasts<br />
A soup-stew of spring vegetables<br />
and green herbs. Include green<br />
beans if you wish, cut into short<br />
lengths, or a last-minute addition<br />
of spinach leaves. If you have any<br />
basil paste left over, you can use<br />
it to toss with cooked pasta or to<br />
spread on cheese on toast.<br />
Ingredients<br />
Serves 4-6<br />
Ready in 75 minutes<br />
200g broad beans<br />
200g young leeks<br />
80g spring onions<br />
200g courgettes<br />
250g peas, shelled<br />
1 litre vegetable stock<br />
280g judion beans, canned or<br />
bottled, or haricot or flageolet<br />
For the croutes:<br />
1 small baguette<br />
1 clove garlic<br />
30g pine kernels<br />
40g basil leaves<br />
25g parmesan, finely grated, plus a<br />
little extra to serve<br />
About 100ml of olive oil, plus<br />
extra for making toasts<br />
Method<br />
• Bring a deep pan of water to<br />
the boil, then drop in the broad<br />
beans and let them cook for 5-6<br />
minutes until almost tender.<br />
Scoop the beans from the water<br />
with a draining spoon and drop<br />
them into cold water.<br />
• If you wish, pop the broad<br />
beans from their papery shells by<br />
squeezing between thumb and<br />
forefinger.<br />
• Slice the leeks into thick<br />
rounds, then wash very<br />
thoroughly in deep cold water.<br />
Thinly slice the spring onions.<br />
Warm a couple of tablespoons of<br />
olive oil over a moderate heat in<br />
a deep saucepan, then stir in the<br />
leeks and spring onions. Place<br />
a piece of baking parchment or<br />
greaseproof paper over the leeks,<br />
then cover with a lid. This will<br />
allow them to soften and steam<br />
without colour.<br />
• Let the leeks and onions<br />
cook for about 10 minutes,<br />
checking them every now and<br />
again to make sure they are not<br />
browning. Slice the courgettes<br />
into small, thick pieces. Remove<br />
the lid and parchment from the<br />
pan, then stir in the courgettes,<br />
broad beans and the peas and<br />
continue cooking. Pour in the<br />
vegetable stock and bring to the<br />
boil.<br />
• Rinse the jarred beans and<br />
add them to the soup, stirring<br />
gently. (They are tender and easy<br />
to break up.) Season generously<br />
with salt and black pepper. Let<br />
the soup simmer gently while<br />
you make the croutes.<br />
• First, make the pesto: peel<br />
the garlic clove and pound it<br />
with a little sea salt. Add the<br />
pine kernels and continue until<br />
you have coarse paste, then<br />
introduce the basil leaves and<br />
mash everything to a thick green<br />
mixture, introducing a little of<br />
the olive oil if it becomes stiff.<br />
Stir in the grated parmesan, then<br />
the remaining olive oil to make a<br />
spreadable paste.<br />
• Get an overhead (oven)<br />
grill hot. Slice the baguette into<br />
rounds, about 2cm thick. Place<br />
them on a grill pan or baking<br />
sheet and toast under the grill<br />
until golden. Turn them over and<br />
toast the other side, then remove<br />
from the grill and trickle with<br />
the olive oil. Spread generously<br />
with the paste.<br />
• Ladle the soup into bowls<br />
and float the basil croutes on top.<br />
Pass a dish of extra parmesan<br />
around as you serve.<br />
Asparagus, melted cheese<br />
Any soft, creamy-textured<br />
cheese that melts well will work<br />
here. A log of goat’s milk cheese,<br />
sliced into rounds, is particularly<br />
suited to melting under a hot<br />
grill. It is a good idea to protect<br />
the tips of the asparagus with<br />
foil before you put them under<br />
the grill, to keep them sweet and<br />
juicy.<br />
Ingredients<br />
Serves 2<br />
Ready in 20 minutes<br />
12 thick and juicy asparagus<br />
spears<br />
A little melted butter<br />
2 goat’s milk cheeses, about 120g<br />
each<br />
Method<br />
• Put a deep pan of water on to<br />
boil and salt it lightly. Trim the<br />
ends of the asparagus. When the<br />
water is boiling drop in the spears<br />
and cook for about 7 minutes,<br />
depending on their thickness. The<br />
spears should be cooked until they<br />
will bend slightly when pulled<br />
from the water.<br />
• Warm an overhead (oven)<br />
grill. Remove the asparagus from<br />
the water with kitchen tongs<br />
(draining them in a colander will<br />
damage the delicate tips) and lay<br />
them side by side on a grill pan.<br />
Brush lightly with butter.<br />
• Slice the cheeses in half<br />
horizontally and place them on<br />
top of the spears. Cook under the<br />
heated grill for a few minutes until<br />
the cheese melts.<br />
