Maggie Craw, 13, lives in
Raupo Bay and is in year 8
at Selwyn House School.
She has chosen journalism
as her Passion Project,
where students immerse
themselves in something
they are really interested
in. The projects could be
anything from baking cakes
and selling them to raise
money for cancer research
to designing a house and
making a 3D model. As
part of her project, Maggie
has written an article
about an art course in
Duvauchelle run by Anna
Dalzell. She asked if it could
be published in the Bay

happy to oblige
On July 19 in the Duvauchelle
Plunket rooms, Anna Dalzell

art courses for the children of
Banks Peninsula.
This course was a leaf and
flower printmaking course. The
children were asked to take their
own leaves and flowers which
they used to learn how to print
onto an original T-shirt, under
the guidance of Anna, a professional
art teacher, with assistants

bestselling author Sam Bourne, in which Maggie
Costello uncovers an assassination plot to kill the
tyrannical new president. If the president is out of
controlWho will take the ultimate step?The unthinkable

Maggie Costello, a seasoned Washington operator with liberal sympathies,
discovers the plot to kill the President – and faces the ultimate moral
dilemma. Should she save the President and leave the free world at the
mercy of a crazed tyrant, or commit treason against her commander in
chief and risk plunging the country into a civil war?

fun doing it,” said Molly Oborne.

Retired fire officer
saves house from blaze
• By Sarla Donovan
DIAMOND HARBOUR’S chief
fire officer Bob Palmer says the
quick actions of a knowledgeable
neighbour helped save a Port
Levy home.
Mr Palmer said the brigade
received a call from Lyttelton’s
retired chief fire officer Alan
“Goodie” Goodmanson just
after 11pm on July 30.
His wife, upon hearing some
“unusual sounds” had opened to
curtains to see red flames shooting
up the back of the house
opposite.
Mr Goodmanson immediately
called the Fire Service before
zooming across the road in his
night attire.
Luckily the owner, who lives
in Christchurch, had left on the

power which controls the water
pump, so Mr Goodmanson
was able to use a garden hose to
douse the back of the house.
By then, another neighbour
had come out.
“Between them, they smashed
a window and sprayed water
into the house which was well
involved, with fire going up the
inside wooden walls and into a
bathroom,” Mr Palmer said.
“It was Goodie’s efforts that
saved the house, no doubt about
it. I wouldn’t expect to arrive
and find a minor fire . . . we are
about 30 minutes away. It was
the fantastic work of old Goodie
that saved the day.”
The fire was caused by hot
ashes close to the house, Mr
Palmer said.

The Good Daughter
by Karin Slaughter
’Karin Slaughter’s most ambitious, most emotional, and best novel. So far,
anyway.’ James Patterson
The stunning new standalone, with a chilling edge of psychological
suspense, from the bestselling author of Pretty Girls.
Two girls are forced into the woods at gunpoint. One runs for her life. One
is left behind ...
Twenty-eight years ago, Charlotte and Samantha Quinn’s happy smalltown
family life was torn apart by a terrifying attack on their family home. It left
their mother dead. It left their father - Pikeville’s notorious defence attorney
- devastated. And it left the family fractured beyond repair, consumed by
secrets from that terrible night.
Twenty-eight years later, and Charlie has followed in her father’s footsteps
to become a lawyer herself - the archetypal good daughter. But when
violence comes to Pikeville again - and a shocking tragedy leaves the
whole town traumatised - Charlie is plunged into a nightmare. Not only
is she the first witness on the scene, but it’s a case which can’t help
triggering the terrible memories she’s spent so long trying to suppress.
Because the shocking truth about the crime which destroyed her family
nearly thirty years ago won’t stay buried for ever ...
