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 />

Feedback sought on plans<br />

to make streets safer<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 />

Thursday <strong>October</strong> <strong>24</strong> 20<strong>24</strong> 9<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 />
