That’s freedom p7

We're racing now Winton and St Thomas Aquinas Primary School students splash through the mud during their annual cross-country event in Winton. More than 220 children were joined by throngs of family and friends, who cheered them on during the gruelling afternoon of races. There was a fun run for the 5 to 7-year-olds, right up to a 3000m trek for 13-year-old boys and girls, with wet conditions adding Photo: MARY WITSEY to the drama on the day. 3212211AB

But three new faces have also been elected – the executive committee – Jide Samuel (originally from Nigeria), Manuel Coles Jr (Philippines) and Angela Pardo Cortes (Columbia).

Going hi-tech Hospice Southland has gone hi-tech for its 2011 Appeal. For the first time, a text code will be used to raise funds during the Annual Street Day Appeal. The text code has been created to ensure all Southlanders can support the charity without having to venture too far from their home or office. All you need to do is text GIVE to 4741 to donate $3.

Remember this? Unbelievably, it’s 20 years since $1 and $2 coins were introduced in New Zealand. The coins were introduced as legal tender in 1991, but there is still plenty of old money floating around – the Reserve Bank of New Zealand says 8,565,077 $1 notes and 10,319,690 $2 notes are still in the hands of the public. To celebrate the gold coins’ milestone, New Zealand Post has issued a limited edition set of New Zealand’s five currency coins, minted in pure silver.

Racing finale Central Southland Raceway in Winton will host the final race meeting of the season in the Southern Harness Racing region on Sunday.

Angry: Habitat for Humanity builder Brian Harvey outside the house broken into and defaced earlier this month.

Organisation shocked by theft Thieves steal thousands of dollars worth of tools, reports Sarah McCarthy. ‘‘IN a word? Scum.’’ That’s how builder Brian Harvey describes thieves that broke into a Habitat for Humanity house in Invercargill and stole thousands of dollars worth of tools earlier this month. Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit organisation, which builds houses and renovates for needy families at an affordable cost, and the Invercargill theft has hit the team hard. ‘‘We’re trying to help people

who wouldn’t get a house otherwise,’’ Mr Harvey says. ‘‘We’re trying to do our best, working on a shoestring budget. We’re trying to help people and they pinched the tools.’’ In addition to the thefts, the house was covered in graffiti, including obscene words. ‘‘When I went there I was quite shocked. We built about 15 houses for Habitat and this is the first time we’ve had this sort of

damage,’’ he says. Many of the stolen tools were almost new, Makita brand tools donated to Habitat by American group Global Village late last year. ‘‘They took just about everything, skillsaws, battery drills, nail gun, a whole bag of tools,’’ he says. ‘‘Just two guns alone are worth $1800.’’ Habitat has to find and buy tools with money it did not have to continue building a house for a family in need.

26.5.11 The Eye

Gallery big success By MARY WITSEY A YEAR after it opened its doors, Lumsden’s Fusion Gallery has sold a whopping $15,000 worth of art. Co-ordinator Michelle Wallis is thrilled with the success. ‘‘I’m really pleased with how well the gallery has done. I think it’s proved that there is room for more arts in our community.’’ Situated in a cottage in Lumsden’s Main St, Fusion Gallery was opened during the global recession and is staffed by volunteers. But a good supply of wonderful art from artists around Southland and New Zealand, and great support from the local community has ensured the gallery’s success. ‘‘It’s been the commitment of the gallery’s supporters, the talented artists who supply their work, the variety of pieces on offer and the affordable prices. ‘‘There’s no other public galleries within 40 minutes of us and it’s a great place to have a gallery in this town because of the numbers of people who travel through it each week,’’ she said. ‘‘We get a lot of visitors from Gore, Queenstown and Te Anau, but also Invercargill.’’ As for the future, if an application for funding is successful the gallery hopes to open at least four days a week and employ a co-ordinator. ‘‘We are also introducing some work from very well-known southern artists like Beverly Clarridge and Kirk Munro, so we hope to be able to continue to offer our clients and the viewing public a diverse range of art across all price ranges.’’ Ms Wallis said the past 12 months had been a huge success and she was looking forward to even better things to come in the future.

Rent-a-crowd: St Thomas Aquinas School students look on as their classmates compete in the annual cross-country event with Winton Primary School last week. More than 220 children were joined by throngs of family and friends to cheer them on during the gruelling afternoon of races. There was a fun run for the 5 to 7-year-olds, right up to a 3000m trek for the 13-year-old boys and girls, with wet conditions adding to the drama Photo: MARY WITSEY on the day.

JURY SERVICE. YOUR CONTRIBUTION COUNTS. Sam is a surf lifesaver on weekends, and he’s involved with a couple of ocean cleanup groups. Last summer he was called up for jury service. It meant missing a couple of big wave days and reorganising his shifts at work, but Sam believes it was worth it. New Zealanders like Sam contribute to their communities because they know what it takes to create the kind of country we all want to live in. When you’re called upon to serve your community through jury service, say yes.

Wellbeing stressed THERE’S more stress down on the farm than you would think. That was the message Southland dairy farming women heard at a special health day in Winton last week. Organised by the Dairy Women’s Network, the ‘‘FarmHer Wellbeing’’ day provided women with strategies to keep themselves well – emotionally and physically – throughout their busy, challenging, and multi-faceted life on and off the farm. About 50 women attended the workshop, which was one of 10 seminars held around the country this month. Co-ordinator and Rural Support Southland agricultural recovery facilitator Claire Welsh said women needed to take care of themselves and watch out for stress. ‘‘If you’re out – the whole family is affected.’’

Farming had particular stressors which those working in urban areas did not face, she said. These included the fact that rural people lived and worked at home and often had difficulty defining work and a time for relaxation. ‘‘Dairy farming is very goal focused and people just carry on and hope things will get better.’’ Add to that the increased demands of a rural lifestyle, including long hours, being oncall seven days a week, having to drive long distances to grocery shop or take children to sport and you’ve got a recipe for increased stress. ‘‘There aren’t many careers where you’re asked to live on the job, or work as and when required – without limitation, with a salary package that’s dependent on the weather and

global markets.’’ She encouraged people to be aware of stress warning signs including headaches, poor concentration, low energy levels and difficulty sleeping. ‘‘People put such pressure on themselves by trying to do too much and when they find they can’t do it – they feel guilty. ‘‘They need to stop the overload, get some control back in their lives and begin to feel good about themselves again.’’ She advised people to gain control by changing what they could and accepting what they couldn’t change. Taking time out occasionally to have some fun, or doing something you enjoy was another good action, as was creating a ‘‘stress-free’’ zone at home. Exercise was also highly recommended.

Freedom campers put on notice MOVES are under way to address growing concerns about the impacts of freedom camping on southern tourist towns, with many local residents unhappy about waste disposal and littering. The New Zealand Freedom Camping Forum recently agreed on several actions to improve the behaviour of campers, including rental operators informing clients that it is not acceptable to camp outside designated camping areas. Tourism Industry Association advocacy manager Geoff Ensor said all parties recognised the increasing public antagonism towards freedom camping and were committed to taking action. ‘‘The right to freedom camp is a New Zealand birthright and we don’t want to see it banned, but we must take action to protect our environment and our international reputation as a friendly, welcoming destination.’’ The forum includes representatives from rental vehicle operators, local government, tourism organisations and central government.

SHORT AND SHARP Brew it again Invercargill Brewery has done it again – with its latest seasonal brew, Sa!son, winning silver at the Australian International Beer Awards. The brewery’s Pitch Black once again took out a bronze medal, while Wellington-based Yeastie Boys won three medals for Invercargill-Brewerymade-beers – His Majesty (silver), PKB (silver) and PKB Remix (bronze). The Australian International Beer Awards attracted 1195 entries this year.

Meanwhile, the Government will launch a new bill in Parliament next month allowing councils to levy $200 instant fines for illegal camping. Waitaki MP Jacqui Dean said the new law should go a long way towards cleaning up the freedom camping issue in and around the south. ‘‘Communities have been battling this issue for some time. I’m delighted that the Government has responded by giving people, in places like Te Anau, the support that they need. ‘‘These communities work too hard at achieving a clean, green image to have others dropping in and ruining it. ‘‘Local people tell me they’re sick and tired of visitors spreading rubbish and human waste along roadsides and in rest areas, but these new fines will hopefully give councils the teeth they need to police this issue and clean the problem up.’’ The number of freedom campers nationally has doubled during the past decade to 110,000 international visitors and more than 40,000 New Zealanders, she said.

Thank you very much The 12-hour global telethon to raise money for earthquake-hit Christchurch made more than $2.5 million in its massive fundraising drive at the weekend. The telethon, exactly three months after February’s devastating earthquake, was broadcast by Maori Television from studios in Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland from 9am to 9pm with live crosses to centres in London, Los Angeles and Sydney. Sir Ian McKellen, Sir Peter Jackson, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Anna Paquin, Neil Finn, Prince Edward, Mike King and Robyn Malcolm were among the celebrities to lend their support.

On the move: Freedom campers Stephan and Sharon Meyer, of Germany, enjoy their stay in Te Anau as they stopover in the town during their South Island campervan tour. New freedom camping laws will soon allow local councils to issue instant fines if campers are found littering, or dumping waste.

iPAD update

Aurora College Year 7 students Col n Manson, Rielly Shirley and Tegan Wilson are enjoying the opportunity to learn using an iPAD. Tegan says in class they have been wri ng stories, correc ng punctua on and researching mini beasts. She chose earth worms as she likes worms and has been able to source all informa on and create her project using the iPAD alone. Col n says he has been reading more news ar cles than he used to. It s more fun to read on the iPAD about current events. Tegan says it has also helped her with her maths. The apps are fun to play and I am finding out informa on that I did not know. Another classmate Josh says it s easier to get through the class work. I have many more sources of informa on all day long. And Timi Carrodus says his spelling has improved. The students homebase teachers say the students are using their me more wisely and consequently ge ng more done in class. They are keen to learn using the iPADS, par cularly when it comes to finding their own informa on. They are also becoming more confident learners and teaching is moving away from the teacher as the holder of all knowledge to being a facilitator.

Developing an awareness of all things agricultural outside the classroom has taken a new twist at Aurora College recently. Level 2 students who work closely with Telford Rural Polytechnic have decided to test their prac cal skills in the outdoor environment by building and tes ng possum traps. Teacher Rachel McKellar says the students have spent a lot of me researching the subject, deciding what would work best, and making certain the possums are caught alive. The students will live trap them on a private farm, says Rachel. They will take them out, set them and check them in a couple of days. Adam Lilley is enjoying the process and is keen to set up a li le enterprise if he gets the go-ahead. We have been working in groups of three and have made individual designs in those groups, says Adam. The traps are all caged with either a slide or push door and we are all trying diﬀerent types of bait. Rachel says there are 28 students comple ng the task and it is giving them a skill set that the older genera on take for granted. Dave Burgess of Environment Southland is going to mentor the students, she says.

It all looks on track IT all began with a student’s project and may just end with another beautiful walking track for Southlanders to enjoy. Former journalism student Irene Schroder was instructed to come

up with a PR plan for an imaginary group. Irene says she’s not really one for making things up, so decided to come up with something very real, and the Omaui Steering Committee was born. The group is in the process of creating a walking track through a DOC reserve on the Omaui headland, she says. But first they have to create a trust, and that’s where you come in. The group is holding a public meeting to talk about the history of the area and hopefully create a trust that will oversee the proposed track from design, to building and then through to future upkeep. The track is

something that Southland needs, Irene says. ‘‘It’s the best stand of bush close to Invercargill,’’ she says. ‘‘We are hoping for a good turnout at the meeting as it is a great opportunity to be part of something positive in the community that will benefit future generations.’’ Councillor and historian Lloyd Esler, who is supporting the project, will speak about the history of the area at the meeting and Dave Taylor, Murihiku Southland manager for Department of Conservation, will give the DOC perspective. The meeting is at the Southland Museum & Art Gallery’s AV Theatre on Monday at 7pm.

SHORT AND SHARP Snow scarce for festival

$1.3m grant to fight bowel cancer

With Queenstown’s Winterfest fast approaching and tickets selling like hot cakes, lack of snow has become a burning question. Just a month out from the festival’s kickoff on June 24, Coronet Peak has a scarce amount of white gold. But festival director Simon Green has been in the game long enough to know you just wait for the snow to arrive. The last snowfall reported at Coronet Peak was 1cm on May 18.

Southern District Health Board consultant medical oncologist Dr Chris Jackson announced a $1.3 million grant, the highest made by the Health Research Council of NZ, to help battle bowel cancers, at the Southland Masonic Centre in Invercargill last night. Southern Freemasons are spearheading research to change Southland’s status as New Zealand’s leader in bowel cancers.

The whole procedure can be done at the Elles Road Veterinary Centre or your own vet can collect the fat and blood required for the procedure, we can process it to extract the stem cells, activate them and your own vet can then place them back in your pet to start the healing process. To find out more about stem cell treatment, please phone us at the Elles Road Veterinary Centre on (03) 214 4156 or check out the website www stemvet.co.nz

When dealing with an overweight pet, it is important to ensure that a special low calorie food is fed. It is not recommended to drastically cut down the feeding ration of the normal maintenance diet. A low calorie diet is a safe and effective way of getting a pet to lose weight. If a pet is fed their usual diet, but given a reduced portion, this can lead to deficiencies in essential nutrients. A low calorie diet supplies all of the proteins, vitamins and minerals that an animal needs, whilst containing a reduced energy level. L-carnitine is an amino acid that can be included in weight loss diets. It allows the fat in the diet to be utilised by the pet’s cells instead of being stored. L-carnitine functions to transport long chain fatty acids into the mitochondria (the “powerhouse” of the cell) for energy production. It may help increase the rate of weight loss.

These treatments have been used in New Zealand for about two years now and are very safe. This definitely has the “wow” factor – about 80 per cent of animals show amazing results immediately, and continue to improve over the next three months. It is thought that the treatment is a one off one, unless there is of course a further injury.

Obesity is a disease in which excess body fat has accumulated to such an extent that health may be negatively affected. In pets this refers to being 15 per cent above optimal body weight. Obesity occurs due to an imbalance between energy intake and energy expenditure. This can occur if the pet is taking in too many calories and not expending enough energy.

3757002AA

So what is stem cell treatment? It is regenerative medicine, where healing of damaged tissue occurs through stimulating stem cells to promote better healing of the body. It is not a new procedure and has been used for about 30 years in different ways. Bone marrow transplants are a form of stem cell treatment. There have been some ethical issues involved when foetal or embryo stem cells have been used, but what we are doing is using the animal’s own cells in a very natural and safe way. Stem cells need activated to heal tissues. Fat is rich in stem cells and so we use this and combine it with activators which have been separated from the animal’s own blood. This is then injected back into the worst affected areas to heal, with some also going intravenously to “mop” up areas of inflammation.

Obesity is one of the most significant nutrition related problems seen in pets. Approximately 25 per cent of cats and dogs seen by vets are overweight. Excess weight is harmful to the health and wellbeing of pets and can make them prone to a number of diseases.

Jazzing up schnitzel

The Meyer lemon has a sweet flavour with low acidity and is thin-skinned. A versatile fruit, lemons make great souring agents, flavour enhancers and tenderisers. A family favourite, chicken schnitzel matches perfectly with the recipe for lemon butter.

Chicken schnitzel with lemon butter

Real tip:

4 chicken schnitzels 1 â &#x201E;2 cup flour 2 cups fresh or dried breadcrumbs 1 egg, lightly beaten with a dash of milk

Method 1. Put the flour and breadcrumbs into separate flat dishes. Coat the chicken schnitzel in the flour, dip into the egg, then coat and press in the breadcrumbs. 2. In a frying pan, heat enough oil to shallowfry the schnitzels. The oil is hot enough when bread cubes dropped into it brown quickly. 3. Shallow-fry the chicken schnitzel (two at a time) for 2 minutes; turn over and cook for a further 2 minutes. Drain on kitchen paper and sprinkle with salt. 4. Serve with a dollop of lemon butter, caramelised lemon slices, potato mash and winter coleslaw. Preparation time: 20 minutes Cooking time: 4 minutes Serves: 4

Use panko breadcrumbs for a crispier finish.

Lemon butter 100 grams butter, softened 1 teaspoon prepared mild mustard 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1 tablespoon chopped parsley Mix all ingredients together. Cover until ready to use.

Boat fully future-proof

IT’S big, it’s orange and now it’s got a whole lot of new bells and whistles to see it through the next few years. It’s the Riverton Coastguard rescue vessel Russell John Chisholm, which has been battling the waves in Foveaux Strait for 12 years, Riverton Coastguard spokesman Noel Anderson says. The boat is now fully future-proof, thanks to an electronics upgrade of radar, GPS and marine radios, and new twin 225hp outboard motors. The coastguard started fundraising a year ago with raffle tickets but got a big boost from community funders, Noel says. ‘‘We’re lucky to have a good bunch of volunteers.’’

Nice boat: Riverton Coastguard treasurer Wayne Muntz talking to halfmoon bay radio operator Maureen Jones on the coastguard’s upgraded equipment.
