Community mental health care under scrutiny
BODY:
There are calls for hospitals to have an A&E especially for mental health patients, as community care of the mentally unwell in the community comes under scrutiny again.
EXTENDED BODY:
The brother of a man killed by his mentally ill flatmate is calling for hospitals to have emergency departments specifically for mental health patients.
Mental health-related calls to police have more than doubled in two years, and last year saw the highest number of suicides since provisional statistics were first recorded.
In 2013, there were 12,000 calls made to police relating to mental health - but, in 2015, that figure was nearly 25,000.
Graeme Moyle's brother Colin was killed in his Auckland home by mental health patient Matthew Ahlquist in 2007, and he said more needed to be done to prevent similar tragedies.
Mr Moyle told Nine to Noon there was a serious lack of resources within district health boards and mental health services when it came to dealing with the increasing number of patients.
"Families that I've spoken to have rung crisis teams and they've been told to ring police because they just can't cope. A lot of times, the police drop them off to the crisis teams and they are just sent home," he said.
"Time and time again, it's the family of the person involved that come begging for help. They're the expert in this, they live with the person who is going through the psychotic crisis, on a daily basis, 24 hours a day, they're living with it day in and day out - when they need help, they are desperate and they are going to these people and they are just being ignored or turned away."
Mr Moyle said hospitals should have a department - similar to accident and emergency (A&E) - especially created to deal with this need.
"I just think a similar system should be set up where a family could take someone in crisis to be assessed over a period of time - rather than sitting in front of a psychiatrist or clinician for 20 minutes, or half an hour, and then making a judgement on their mental condition in that period, where the family has spent days and days with them assessing it for themselves.
"In a lot of cases, somebody going through this is able to hold it together for the duration of an assessment and, as soon as they walk out, they regress.
"I just think they need more time, overnight stays for a few days, so they can actually keep an eye on a person to see if they deteriorate or improve, rather than just turning them away."
Question of resources
Mental health advocate Graham Roper has been involved in the Mental Health Commission and is currently on the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists' community committee.
Many patients were already going to emergency departments for help, he said.
"The Southern DHB have a mental triage nurse at A&E so, when people are presented to the emergency department, they are assessed there - and if required they are taken to a separate area for assessment.
"But again, it's that simply resource issue - is one clinician available at A&E enough to manage the numbers that are being bought in?"
Mr Roper said clinicians were under a huge amount of pressure to rush patients through the system, as there always were so many more to deal with.

Can solar energy power a home all year round?
BODY:
A group of residents from Great Barrier Island who live entirely off the grid, say it's possible to power homes all year round as long as there are enough photovoltaic panels on the roof, and they are positioned to take in maximum sunlight in all seasons.
EXTENDED BODY:
A group of residents from Great Barrier Island who live entirely off the grid, say yes it can, as long as you have enough photovoltaic panels on your roof positioned to take in maximum sunlight in all seasons.
Two weeks ago the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment endorsed a report which said the uptake of solar energy by households will increase carbon emissions from the electricity sector. It said this was because solar power is disproportionately generated during the summer months, while New Zealand's electricity needs are greatest in winter - so if more households use solar panels, this would replace renewable alternatives that would be more available in the winter months, resulting in a greater reliance on fossil fuel based electricity generation.
Orla Cumisky is the organiser of the island's Off the Grid event being held next month – where experts and locals offer advice to those wanting to live off the grid. She also powers her home solely with solar energy all year round.

EXTENDED BODY:
The acclaimed classical musician reflects on her journey into the limelight.
Violinist Nicola Benedetti made history in Britain as an eight year old by becoming the youngest person to lead the National Children's Orchestra of Great Britain. Eight years later, at just 16, she won the 2004 BBC Young Musician of the Year Award, which lead to a lucrative six-album deal from Universal Music.
Now 28, she is a passionate advocate for music education and getting children to learn instruments. She is also currently in New Zealand for a series of concerts with the NZSO, playing Brahms' Double Concerto for Violin and Cello along with cellist Leonard Elschenbroich – her partner in both life and work.
LISTEN to Kathryn Ryan's interview with Nicola Benedetti.
Read an edited snapshot of their conversation below:
Nicola, when did you know this was going to be your life – how far back does that go?
I started playing when I was four years old, and I don’t think I ever really had a moment of questioning playing, there was never a penny-drop moment of ‘This is what I want to do’, I just never had the opposite. Quite quickly I was doing local festivals and competitions, and doing well in my grade exams, so it was suggested I audition for the Yehudi Menuhin School.
Your father’s Italian, your mother’s Scottish – you grew up in Scotland. Was classical music a part of your childhood?
Not at all, no. My parents never listened to any classical music before my sister and I began playing the violin. And I only started playing because of my sister; and it was very much a case of us exposing classical music to our extended family.
I would say that within a year or so I really started falling in love with the melodic material that I was playing. I was extremely moved by music very young – at six, seven years old I was crying to pieces of classical music.
You were just eight when you became the youngest person to lead the National Children's Orchestra. Did you just take that in your stride?
I think at that age, you’re so unaware. Everything took me and my parents by surprise, and we just went with it. I was always quite happy to practice, so I think that was a welcome surprise for my violin teacher.
You went to the prestigious Yehudi Menuhin School at age ten. This is a big step – leaving home, going into a professional environment. Is it a real life Hogwarts for musicians?
For the first month or so I was terribly homesick, and then after that everything just becomes about your development as an instrumentalist. I had four hours of individual violin lessons a week, on top of that many hours of practice every day. It’s such an intense focus on consistent development; time goes very quickly. You have to have a tough, strong personality, I would say.

Dogs of Wellington
BODY:
Wellington's dogs and their owners were out in force for The Big Dog Walk With Lots Of Dogs over the weekend. Daniela Maoate-Cox pawsed to catch up with canines and their humans.
EXTENDED BODY:
By Daniela Maoate-Cox
Hundreds of people and their dogs gathered in Wellington and Auckland for a simultaneous mass dog walk. The event, officially called The Big Dog Walk With Lots Of Dogs, started with a Facebook post by Wellington comedian Alice Brine in January. The walks – at Waitangi Park in Wellington and Waiatarua Reserve in Remuera, Auckland – aimed to raise money for animal welfare charities HUHA and Chained Dog. Daniela Maoate-Cox caught up with some of the dogs and their owners in Wellington.
Kisa Basabas and Rambo
He used to steal things, but we’ve trained him well. You can have a piece of steak on a plate on the floor and he won’t eat it without command. He’s a Siberian Husky and he’ll be two on the 13th of April. He makes a lot of noise but he doesn’t bark, he howls.
Siobhan Warren with Nia and Lexi
Lexi’s the black and white one and Nia is the gold one. They’re both border collies and will work for cheese. Lexi does awkward things like stand in the passage in the dark. You flick on the light and she’s just standing there staring at you. Nia’s name means ray of sunshine in Swahili and her best trick is spinning. She’s a therapy dog with Canine Friends so we go to Kenepuru every Saturday morning and she cuddles people in the geriatric wards. Love is her superpower, I reckon.
Steve with Derby and Little Jim
Little Jim is a Jack Russell-chihuahua cross, Derby is a greyhound-border collie cross. We got the greyhound first and the little guy we saw on Trade Me and he looked adorable so we picked him up. They get along well together. We’ve had them about three years now, best of friends, you can’t separate them. Little Jim’s two and a half and Derby’s three and a half.
Shelley with Frida and Betty
Frida’s coming up three years, she’s the salt and pepper schnauzer and Betty’s a pure black schnauzer. She’s six months old now. Frida’s pretty well trained, she does sit, stay and shake, but they like to steal food if they can. She can actually push the bin open and steal things out from the bin. She’s managed to pull out big bones.
Alex and Banjo
He's six years old. He is a Leonberger, from Leonberg in Germany. It used to be a principality a long time ago and the myth goes that the duke or count or whatever decided he wanted a lion that looked like the lion on Leonberg’s crest. He is very much a dog dog when he’s out and about.
Paul, Duke, Duchie and Shelby
They’re all staffies (Staffordshire Bull Terriers). These two, Duke and Duchie, are just about four, Shelby’ll be two in August. They love making a mess outside, chewed up everything. They love balls and tyres and keep pretty active. Sometimes get all three of them on the bed. Shelby can play dead but there might be too much going on today for her to do it.
Take a look at some more dogs of Wellington.

Richard Quest on MH 370
BODY:
The mystery of Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 haunts CNN Aviation correspondent and Money Editor Richard Quest. His new book The Vanishing of Flight MH370: The True Story of Hunt for the Missing Malaysian Plane looks at the botched search efforts, dreadful handling with the families and the safety issues raised by the disappearance of MH370.
EXTENDED BODY:
"Goodnight, Malaysian 370."
Those are the last words from the cockpit of a Malaysia Airlines flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on 8 March, 2014. Then all communications from the plane stopped.
Just over two years later, the mystery continues, as does the agony for the families of the 239 people onboard. It is a mystery that haunts CNN Aviation correspondent and Money Editor Richard Quest. His new book The Vanishing of Flight MH370: The True Story of Hunt for the Missing Malaysian Plane looks at the botched search efforts, dreadful handling with the families and the safety issues raised by the disappearance of MH370.
Listen to Richard Quest in conversation with Jesse Mulligan.

"We've never had a modern jetliner with modern avionics disappear from the earth. And that goes to the very core and heart of every one of us who flies and who thinks 'Surely someone is following the plane all along, surely if something were to happen to this aircraft they'd be able to find it' ~ Richard Quest.
